First day after 17 years break [33YO]
Today was the first time I’ve skated in 17 years. A few days ago, I saw a guy go by on a skateboard and it got me hooked again. I ordered a complete skateboard and matching shoes from an online shop. Everything arrived today, so I went out for my first session.
I really enjoyed the ride; I slowly started to get my balance back and even felt bold enough to try a few stationary ollies. However, on my way back home, I noticed a slight discomfort in my ankle. And—surprise, surprise—the new shoes had caused a huge blister that burst, leaving my foot completely out of commission.
I hope to gradually rediscover my passion for this sport without hurting myself too much in the process.
My setup is a MOB (a German brand) complete, size 8.25, with Polster trucks and very hard wheels. I’m thinking about getting some bigger, softer wheels and perhaps some new bearings. Any advice on how to avoid injuries and ensure a successful comeback?
Best regards!
