Where do you keep track of your tricks/clips? [36yo]

Ben from the old skaters weekly challenge here 👋

I’ve been realizing over the years that most skate clips basically disappear into the void 😅

Buried in camera rolls, old hard drives, random Instagram posts, Reddit threads, etc.

The weekly challenge here got me thinking about it because submissions slowly turn into a sort of skate history/profile over time - you can check out mine here

Curious how you all handle it.

Tried a hardflip 50+ times. Submitted a pop shove-it instead. Week 1 of an old-skater challenge. [36YO]

A few of us in our 30s and 40s are running a 12-week challenge: one trick per week, video proof, points if you land it. Mostly an excuse to skate consistently again and not flake out alone in the garage.

This week I went for the hardflip - from the pro track dedicated to Daewon for this season. 50+ tries. Did not land it once. Submitted a pop shove-it so I'd at least get on the board this week.

Clip's below. The hardflip footage will wait... I promise, I'll try my max.

If there are other 30+ skaters here who'd want in on something like this, happy to share how it works. no cost, mostly just dealing with Discord 😅

Started this a few years ago from this server, and because I needed an additional reason to get out and skate every week and try new tricks.

Now we're at Season 6 with the pro track dedicated to Daewon, hundreds of old skaters doing weekly tricks together.

Shot a quick video explaining how it works and how to join. Drop a comment if you have questions - happy to answer.

Come land a pop shove or a hardflip this week from here: www.oldskaters.com
