I bought this GrenTec Coyote II skateboard back in 1977 and for whatever reason I could never bring myself to get rid of it, even after I outgrew it and stopped skateboarding. Fast forward, recently started playing with it and realized it really was too small, so I finally bought one more my size. It’s an Arbor Pilsner (technically a longboard, but it’s on the small side). Really weird to pick up a hobby decades later and still realize I can do most of what I did back then: tick-tack, crabwalk, etc. Any tips for getting back into it?
Upgraded after four decades

get a helmet and definitely wear skate shoes

Yep, already had the helmet and just got some Van’s Old Skool wide shoes.

It might be a long shot, but try to see if there's a "pump track" in your area. There's a newer one in my city that's like a wavy loop made of asphalt and paved smooth enough for skateboards and bikes. It's pretty much the ultimate practice spot for cruisers
