As a 52 year old that has been skateboarding since the 1970’s I take great offense with anyone that tries to gatekeep skateboarding. Skateboards are always cool.

I think it’s all about perspective. Say the Patty Cake one. A 30 year old doesn’t seem “cool” doing it according to the chart. But a 30 year old who sits down with a 5 year old and does it… That kid thinks they are pretty cool.

I feel there is a big difference between being able to skate at 45 and learning to skate at 45.
I used to skate as a kid, but I never once managed to pop an ollie.

That’s what killed my skating dreams. I watched buddy after buddy popping Ollie’s first day while I spent 2 days that seemed like an eternity barely trying and never once being able to do it

I actually had a picture with Tony Hawk from when I was ~11. I ran across him at the airport and I made my mom take.our picture.

Would probably have made for a better picture if you stopped running and stood still next to him, though…

He was super nice actually. He must have been 15 himself.

Jealous! From what I’ve heard about him, he seems super nice, humble, and genuine. I recently listened to his interview on Smartless.

Being at the bottom of the half pipe isn’t cool though.

I’ve been skating since 1986. The first time someone asked me if I was too old for it was in 1987. That question is really only in the eye of the beholder.
