 Bought my first skateboard today

So i had friends in high school that skated, and i hung out at the local skate park a lot but mainly just to chill and smoke. I was more into bmx and never owned my own board, though my brother did and I would ride my friends from time to time.
Well im almost 27 and got my first board today. Went to the local shop and got a blank complete. I dont plan on doing tricks, i just wanted it for getting around school faster and to skate to work since i live nearby and drive a big ass truck that pisses away gas.
Im pretty excited about it none the less...anyone else here skate? Any tips for noobz?

The guy at the store recommended me a longboard cuz i told him i was just gonna use it to cruise and dont plan on doing tricks but i went with the regular ones cuz i just like them better and i can hold it with my backpack.
Ive been using it a bit in the driveway and its pretty fun and a good workout.
And im not underage im almost 27...and i can take more bong ripzzz than you!

I ate shit off a quarter pipe or something when I was drunk but that's about the start and finish of my skateboard experience.

Have fun with it man, just be safe. I would get some bones bearings and quality cruising wheels if you're really trying to cruise around with minimal pushing.

I used to skate a lot and then I fucked up my knee and now I'm too old and fat. I let myself slip away during my recovery and I never fully recovered. I miss it every day.
My advice is to not second guess yourself. Try to flow with it, and be aware of your surroundings. Sometimes a crash is coming. Learn to roll with it rather than against it and everything will be good.
--------------------
Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?

Lmao this sounds like myself. My friends were egging me on to drop into a halfpipe when I was in high school. The first time was a free fall and the second time I almost made it but I flipped backwards and the board gave me a black eye when it came back down.
I loved BMX and street with a bike back in the day. Then my bitch step mother sold my bike for crack 
How was it to skate again after so much time? I was thinking about getting a longboard myself, and I'm sure I will break my ass learning how to use it again lol.

yo Mario. Is there a certain brand or material you would suggest for a longboard that would get a lot of travel time on it? I don't know shit about them anymore.

You can't take more bong rips than me and...good choice with the trick deck it will be harder at first to ride hills although u can replace trucks. Wheels. bearings . Truck risers which are the pads Goin between deck and trucks I recommend stiff trucks and hard bearings they seem to get most out of your kick push and coast while riding on flat ground..do u ride regular or goofy.. I find regular stance easier to olly while I'm moving even tho I ride Longboards goofy mango meaning right foot in front while kicking with front right foot reaching speeds of 30 mph+ ...and then eating shit ...If u don't get road rash u ain't trying hard enuff .. you will realize once u become enlightened skater , all hills have a certain grade or angle with which u descend and u reach a terminal velocity or max speed of about maximum of 35 mph and that is the steepest mofo u will find its not like u will ever reach 60 mph on a skateboard and have potential to die ..wear helmet ..elbow.. knee guards ...2 sweatshirts jeans sweatpants over that..oh and smoke weed

Bmx was my shit.
I rode a 98' GT performer. I eventually got into dirt jumping, but still used the GT. It was a bit on the heavy side and I had to shave down the bars a bit, but I def got some air with it.

/when I was 3 I fractured my neck on a shitty skateboard of my bros. Hung out with a lot of skater though.
All I can do is ride one on roughly level ground.

I used to be more into bmx. I would ride street and tried to learn flatland but never got too good. I had a cool haro but i dont remember what happened to it.
I like this new board though. Rode it around a bit yesterday. Felt weird doing it after years but ill get used to it.

I was eating questionable sushi, close enough. All I know about wheel sports is in the 80's/90's you weren't shit if you didn't have pegs on your bike.
And I think roller bladers and skateboarders have a beef or something. It's a huge cause of gun violence in my country. D.A.R.E. told me.
