As someone who is 41 and had skateboarding as a minor hobby growing up, I'd love to revisit it but am terrified that I'd shatter like glass if I even had the slightest sudden unexpected gravitational pull to the earth's floor

Yeah I never skateboarded in the sense of doing any street or vert style skating, purely longboarding around campus and the city and the like, I think less risky haha.

That being said, I used to do a bit of board dancing, a way less smooth and far more amateur version of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMLFZcONQAs

But that’s definitely not something I’d revisit, the existing aged scars I have from longboarding are enough for me, I’d rather not add anymore, especially because like you said, I’m not convinced I would recover quick like I used to.
