I skated everyday from 12-26yrs old then started back in my late 30's because my son was into it... I took them to FDR in philly and they didnt believe i ever skated... this was my lame attempt after many years off the board to prove it (i was about 42ish) ... i'm 51 now and have been a part of a few skateparks built... and have retired from the whole skating thing...
