OP here. I've never tried. It's the same with tennis. I've watched shitloads of it on TV but almost never played it
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Any city has a skatepark full of greasy 20+ stoners whose standard for "socially unacceptable" starts at shitting on the ramps
>>37352700
Just don't give a fuck and do it, people are going to judge you anyway.
>>37353042
So you have a bunch of things you like but you're afraid to do them? I think the problem is you, not society.
>>37352700
stop trying to impress strangers, you're an adult for christs sake.
Where do you even skateboard, my area is nothing but hills.
>>37353067
Some people live in places with fewer hills.

I can see why you wouldn't go out skating alone. Maybe you have some friends that skate? Even if they're just acquaintances you could just ask to hang out cause you wanna learn to skate.
Or if you're really alpha you could just go out alone in public, suck at it and not care.

California is one of the most beautiful states in the US but the people there are insufferable.

mfw no magneticly driven inline skates with boosts
But for real, I've been skateboarding on and off since I was 14. I'm currently 22 and my gymbuddy just started skateboarding with me. It's fun as fuck. I don't know where you live but in the Netherlands nobody gives a fuck if you're a skater that is 20+ years old. Don't be such a baby and go skate.
