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!

    Just my experience, I picked it up at 28 and got comfy riding easily. That’s fun and safe. Particularly longboarding.

    Once I started going for tricks, I quickly injured my wrist and shoulder and noticed my one knee having issues. Had to switch sports to bicycling (which I’m enjoying even more)
