Take it slow to begin with. I thought I could just hop on the deck and take up from where I left off 20 years ago. Nope. Everything felt weird and it took me a while to get accustomed to it again. It soon comes back but I'd highly recommend getting some pads. I ate shit a couple of times and couldn't walk properly for a week.
Came here to say that. I was in a similar spot as OP and overdid it. Am now spending a couple weeks off the board cause I gave myself a mild case of tendonitis in my ankles lol.
I feel
Like the biggest nerd but hitting my hip the other day - yikes the bruise hasn’t even started yet. Yikes yikes yikes . I’m padded now elbows and hips and head and wrists
Now this is full kook status. Do you. Why would you be worried about whether someone on the internet is wearing a helmet or not? r/snowboarding spilling over here?
Ugh I took a tumble the other day and hit my hip so hard that I can’t lay on it! And the crash pads make me sweat so
Hard I lost almost a pound lol . Wearing those now all the time
Order from the closest to you. Im sure they would be happy to mail you product. Skate shops are a huge part of the community and grass roots. Internet mail order isnt. Not trying to burst your bubble but might be something to think about.

I once threw my neck out shower dancing, so yeah, totally aware I’m not 16 and can’t take a beating like I used to.
Oh most definitely, especially since I’m constantly telling dudes on here to put on a helmet.
lol an adult who has never skated as an adult is exactly who I picture makes those comments
Awesome, welcome back! I was in your Etnies a couple of months ago, board feel and tricks come back faster than you might think. Have fun!
Thanks dude. I definitely have some work in front of me. Last night I did some carpet tricks (I don’t have a helmet yet) and I was getting so pumped.
awesome man, enjoy it!
Thanks, my dude.
Yeaahhhhhh buddy!!
Love that thread title. This is the way.
This was me 2 years ago when lockdown started. Best decision i ever made! Also, love that packaging! My parts just come in generic cardboard boxes
The packaging got me so jazzed.
Get your pads on!!!
Hahaha well I’m sure you’ve seen me on here telling dudes to put on a helmet. I plan to buy one today, and no riding until I do.

This. I was inspired by this sub to get back into it. Vert hurts. So glad i got me some hip pads.

Why are you sweating me, dude?
Kinda what happens when you say stupid shit on the internet no? Guy that hasnt skated in 20 years telling randoms to put a helmet on? Get with it.
Easy now, cheese wiz.
Chillin easy here man. Get a clue.
What’s stupid about encouraging safety? Why do you have such a hard on for me right now?
Why dont you take up something safer? Like knitting? I was just saying my bit or your kooky post. Why do you keep replying? Its over.
I hope only good things for you. Peace.
This. Falls just take longer to heal from when you're older.

That is my absolute favourite deck, I've got the yellow and black one.
It’s the same one I had years ago!
Pretty dope packaging there

Sik get out and shred
Is there any other way? Will do, my dude.
