That's pretty damn impressive. I'm 40 years old and I've been thinking about starting skating again just for the exercise and the fun of it. Part of me feels like it's stupid to be that old on a board, and I shouldn't do something so immature anymore. But man why not? It's fun and it always kept me in shape.
I've seen recent interviews with Tony Hawk where he is now 49 or 50 and he says skating keeps him agile and healthy. And it's only when he can't skate due to injury for a few weeks, that's when he starts getting stiff and feeling sore and old. But on the days he skates he says he still feels great.
Yep. I think I'm gonna grab my old board and start skating again.
so epic. I love putting this stuff on when the guy at work thats like 37 claims hes too old for basically everything . . .
I remember watching his first one live. Getting old I guess.
thats why he has video games named after him
You get old when you stop doing this shit, not the other way around
Tony hawk was my hero when I was skating as an 8 year old kid.
Then other interests came and I stopped skating. I wonder how I would do today if I just hopped on a board, not having been on one in 30 years?
Crazy stuff man. Good find.
But those falls looked rough. I can't imagine doing that at that age.
it's a mindset. It really is. 40 is NOT what it used to be.

Why shouldn't you? Because you're not fucking Tony Hawk.
You need to take that old board, give it to your fucking son and get back in the office. Go to the gym like an adult and lift weights or run to stay in shape. Your old ass is just going to roll an ankle or bust a hip.
The only grown ass men who should be on a skateboard are those who made a living doing it for the last twenty years.
I was a huge fan of Habitat and Kerry Getz. I even attempted to get sponsored
I miss skating, but I don’t miss that one asshole pebble on the sidewalk and of course always falling on the same spot on my hip leaving a month long black and green bruise
yea, unless you are tony hawk and getting paid to be skating, i think it is pretty pathetic to be more than 25 or so and still skating
yeah FUCK that one little pebble lol
Skateboarding is immature? Thats a weird perspective
you do a lot of things when you are a kid that you outgrow. i mean i dont go out and have a mean game of tag with my friends because it was cool when we were 5.I keep seeing this... why would you stop doing something you enjoy because of what other people might think? I think that attitude is a lot more pathetic than some old dude enjoying the shit out of a hobby he's had since he was a kid.
Seems like a pretty bitch made way to live your life. I turned 40 in May and still skate at least once a week and have a mini ramp in my garage. Most of my friends are a similar age and we still skate as much as possible, taking road trips to skate parks, etc.
You should try it. I'll even give you a free lesson or two. (I actually worked on the side just for fun as a skateboard instructor giving private lessons through a company called goskate.com up until a year or two ago)
