This project was started during a very dry period in my creative life, back in July when Singapore just exited a lockdown (circuit breaker). I'm always very hesitant on buying 'toys' just to have it last a few weeks and then chucked in the corner to decay.

In short, I'm glad I did this anyways. It was a great refresh to get my mind to be in tune with my body in a new way - instead of just watching youtube videos all day to gain inspiration.

Lastly, I’ve probably said this a couple of times but you’re truly never too old to try something new.

    It’s never too young or too old to start something new. You got it man!

Lastly I realised that as I grew older, it's harder to pick up new physical activities/sports because the body gets stiffer over time but it is still definitely possible :)

    I like where this 30-year old series is going, as a fellow 30year old man 😂
  • @anattynook
    loved how candid this was! came from watching your newer videos and yes churning out video ideas can be really tiring but I'm sure your audience will enjoy chill videos once in a while :D

    Thanks for this encouraging vlog, Shawne! I also just bought one skateboard from Decathlon for my birthday and I can’t wait to try learning it too! :)
  • @boonyang3122
    Appreciate your hard work during this period! Nice video!!
  • Appreciating you're work buddy! Super nice shots - cool vlogs! Glad to see there are some other creators in SG
  • @poopsiedaisy530
    Love your edits! Was doing research on whether I should get a penny cos I'm also like you, don't like to spend money on shit I don't use. But this is really inspiring!! You picked it up super fast.

    I used to snowboard. Missed it so got me a long board. Saw your surf skate video so then I got me a surf skate and I subscribed to your channel. Fell a couple of times and still a noob. I’m enjoying it. Now my kids want to learn so I am going to get them a Penny board. 😂 Thanks for the motivation from an almost 40 y.o. 👩🏻
