Hi All,

I’ve been doing brazillian JiuJitsu for the last 7 years and recently got a pretty bad shoulder injury that’s going to keep me out for a while. I will likely be on the mats again at some point but not sure when.

I’m looking for something else to do in the meantime (and maybe for the long term). If your dad was in the same position as me, would you advise him for or against skateboarding? And if for it, how long should I try it before i decide if its for me or not?

Thanks!

    I don’t have an answer. But I’m 41 and kind of regret never picking it up beyond the extremely basic stuff. If you decide to pick it up, let me know of any progress, and I’ll be your online airmchair skate group of one.

      Thanks! Yeah, i’m not sure if i can even stand on one and move forward. I bought my son a good skateboard a couple years ago and he hasn’t touched it. So evertime i see it sitting there in the garage, i think about trying it out.
