AUNTY SKATES FEATURED in
Here's what nobody tells you about learning to skateboard as an adult
You've thought about it more than once.
Maybe you've watched your kid cruise down the sidewalk and thought, "that looks fun." Maybe older adults skating keeps popping up on your feed. Maybe you skated a little as a teenager and you'd love to try again. Maybe you tried once, felt ridiculous, and never told anyone?
Here's the thing - the reason it feels so hard isn't because you're too old, too stiff, or too uncoordinated.
It's because everything out there is designed for kids. who bounce off concrete. like rubber balls.
The YouTube tutorials skip the basics. The skatepark feels like someone else's territory. And every "beginner" guide assumes you already know what trucks and bearings are.
So you stay stuck in the same loop: curious, excited, then overwhelmed, then back to the couch, and watching other people's skate videos. Again.
That loop ends here.
Picture this: four weeks from now
You step outside with your board. You don't hesitate.
You push off, find your balance, and start rolling. The breeze hits your face and this goofy grin takes over because — holy crap — you're actually doing it.
Not a kickflip. Not a trick. Just you, moving forward on a skateboard, steady and confident. The thing you secretly wanted to do for years.
And the best part? You did it safely. No broken wrists. No ER visits. No embarrassing stories. Just a new skill that makes you feel like the most alive version of yourself.
That's exactly what this course is built to do.
Meet your instructor
(I started at 43)
Hi, I'm Oorbee, you can also call me Aunty Skates.
I picked up a skateboard for the first time at 43 years old. I borrowed my kid's too small board, had the wrong wheels and fell on my butt in front of a large group of skaters.
But I kept going. And I figured out something important: adults don't need to learn the way kids do. We need a system that respects our bodies, our fears, and our busy schedules.
Since then, I've taught hundreds of adults to skateboard, from nervous first-timers to people who hadn't been on a board in 30 years. I've been featured in Vogue, the Wall Street Journal, BBC, and the Today Show for showing that anything is possible, including learning how to skateboard as a grown-up.
This course is everything I learned (the hard, painful way), distilled into the simplest possible path from "standing still" to "rolling with confidence."
Built for grown-up life
How the course actually works
You're busy, you've got a body that doesn't bounce like it used to, and you're learning this on weekends in your driveway. Everything about how this course is delivered is built around that.
Pay once. Yours forever.
No subscription, no expiring access. Come back to Module 5 in two years if you want. Same for the facebook community, it's lifetime access!
Learn at your own pace.
No live calls, no schedule to keep. The whole course is 45-60 minutes of video. Binge it on a Saturday morning then head to the skate shop to get your gear or stretch it across one month. Your call!
Watch on anything with a screen.
Phone, tablet, laptop, smart TV. Pause, rewind, replay in the driveway between drills. Mobile-friendly because that's where you'll actually use it.
Practice in your driveway.
No skatepark required. The whole course is built around a driveway, garage floor, or empty parking lot. A few feet of smooth ground is all you need.
THE WHOLE PICTURE
About 45-60 minutes of video lessons across 5 modules, plus a private Facebook community for life. Most students are rolling with confidence inside 2-4 weeks practicing a few times a week.
You will roll away with:
✔
Know exactly which skateboard and gear to buy as an adult - without overspending or getting the wrong thing
✔
Have a warm-up routine that protects your joints and prevents injury
✔
Be able to step onto a skateboard and balance without panic
✔
Push, glide, and stop with confidence on flat ground
✔
Have a practice plan you can repeat on your own, no coach needed!
✔
Feel like you actually belong on a skateboard, because YOU DO!
No tricks, no pressure, just solid skate foundations.

Made for teenagers or people who already skate... they skip the absolute basics.
Ten different instructors contradicting each other on stance, gear, and foot placement.
No warm-up, no injury prevention, no consideration for a grown-up body.
No order for progression, you're guessing what to learn next and when you're "ready."
Zero accountability. No community. Nobody notices if you quit.
Algorithm pushes tricks and shredding clips, the opposite of what you need right now!
Starting with the wrong equipment because there's no solid advice for adult beginners which makes it harder to succeed!

Built from the ground up for complete adult beginners... no prior skating assumed.
One instructor, one system, one clear path from standing still to rolling, from someone who learned as an adult
Adult-specific warm-up, mobility, and fall-prevention woven into the curriculum.
Sequenced lessons so you always know exactly what's next.
Private Facebook community of other adult beginners... plus me, showing up regularly.
Zero pressure to learn tricks. The whole focus is rolling with confidence.
Exact board, shoes, and gear recommendations so you don't waste money on the wrong thing.
Sure, you can. A lot of adults try. Here's what usually happens - and what's different about doing it this way.
✔
YouTube is free. But the average adult who tries to learn there quits inside a month... and usually injured or overwhelmed. A course that actually gets you rolling is the cheap option.

Frequently asked questions
You're one decision away from actually doing it.
You've been thinking about learning to skate for a while. You've watched the clips. You've added boards to carts. You've read all the way to the bottom of a sales page.
The course is $47 . The community is for life. The only thing left is to say yes.
P.S. — If you're still scrolling, the fear isn't really about the board. It's about trying something new as a grown-up and looking silly and getting hurt in the process. I get it. That's why this course was built by someone who started at 43, fell on her butt hard in front of a large group, and kept going. Nobody's going to laugh at you in the Kickstart Crew. We're all the wobbly one. See you inside.
