Wow! Thanks for the sanity check at the end. I'm 34, I've never skated in my life, but I keep seeing these Esk8 boards everywhere I look. I've been drooling at them for over a year, but anytime I mention wanting to get into it to friends or family they go "Act your age" or "You have a kid, you can't be doing that stuff anymore" or "That's way too dangerous for you to try and start now". I keep thinking that this could be a fun hobby to get into WITH my kiddo (who's almost 12 now). After seeing your video, and some of the comments... I'm feeling a lot better about jumping it and giving it a go. Thanks!

I know this is an old video, but if you're a rider wanting to get into ESK8, don't go cheap. That doesn't mean get the best of the best, but I'd reccomentd not going below 400. Get a board that will last, and that you'll be able to repair easier. Also, as much of a pain belt drive boards are, they'll alst you longer and be easier to upgrade or fix than a hub board by far.

Thanks for the vid, the last statement hit me real hard. I am a film producer/director in California and have a very similar lifestyle. I work from home, I don't get out much, don't like gyms and sit at a computer almost 17 hours a day working. To hear that esk8ing helped you to get up and get out of the house gives me hope. My first eboard will be here tomorrow. I have skated longboard when I was younger but fell out of it over the years. I am 38 now and have severe sciatica and arthritis throughout my body from years of working manual labor and martial arts. going to the gym is severely physically painful for me and in order to go I have to be on pain killers. I am hoping that the eboard will help me to gradually start getting out and get my body moving again. According to my Dr this will help with the arthritis and could in turn help with the sciatica. The risk of injuries has never been an issue for me as I have done more extreme sports like bmx, motocross, rock climbing, etc. all my life. The part that scares me is when I woke up and couldn't move my legs for 30-40 minutes because the nerve in my spine was pinched so bad. I don't want this to get any worse, when you stop moving you start to die so thank you for the boost of confidence that this may be the right path for me to go down. Keep up the awesome, informative videos and stay safe while you ride.

Excellent last point: I started eBoarding during the pandemic at my late 50s! So thanks for all the tips as I already used 100% of all you mentioned but I still watch this video if you from time to time as a reminder and refresher. In retrospect, I am glad I decided to start eBoarding,, since 2020 I have put in approximately 1000km annually from Spring to the late autumn, which is as late as I can and just before the snow comes… :-) In fact, as a snowboarder for more than 20years, I like eBoarding more now simply because I am no longer limited to just one geographical location, not to mention it also saves me gas, time and money (for the ski hill lift passes) … Keep up the great 👍 work on your reviews.
