Now im 18 and trying to get back into skateboarding but I feel like a real beganer because im not even balanced on the board yet. Is 18 years is to late to wait to start skating? I want to eventually enter Amateur competitions but Im afraid everyone my age will be 10x better than me.

Answer 1

no, not at all, its actually better that your starting later. its easier to start skating at a later age becaue all the trick will come easier, also with bigger feet you will have better board control, just practice riding around on a flat surface or buy a kicker ramp.

Answer 2
