I have a few friends past 50 who still ride a skateboard, things have sure progressed a 'little" over the years :)

That's absolutely amazing and thrilling to watch. A few tumbles though !

Wow... Wow again. And then the helicopter. I think I'll just stick to cruising slowly down our street.

Pretty impressive Bob!
Hawk and Mullen were still at the top of their game at that age too.

I'm 33 and I still skate to work, and the only time I feel old is when I have to go into a skate shop :D

I skate (inline) every day when the roads are dry and have done for the past 17 years or so. Skate to work (16km each way), and longer missions on weekends including one of 120km. I'll be 40 next year but plan on skating for the rest of my life.

I skated with my sons in their 3-wheeler stroller till they were 4-5 years old. That was lots of fun and they loved going fast on the Perth river cyclepaths.

It's a way of life man. I'd be lost without it. Skate or Die:D

They're great!
Can't pick any other than Tony but I was never into vert, never had a bowl or ramp near me growing up so it was just street skating.
