I ride a 20” bmx bike and try to do basic tricks. More than once, neighbors have questioned whether I’m trying to relive my childhood.
Aren’t You Too Old For That?

you should inform them you never stopped living you childhood.
At first I didn't think I'd post here, since I'm 26, but then realized I did have this happen from time to time, mainly on one topic: video games.
There seems to be a trend here in Romania, where a fair number of people I haven't met before, mainly 20-30 year olds, give me a stink for spending my free time playing games. Older folk do it far less. Most didn't elaborate, but based on how they introduced themselves, they seem to disagree that people should do anything but make a baby at 20 and slave away to pay the bank for 30 years to pay off a house.
Related to my case, but not too much to the topic at hand, hope it's not an issue, you should've seen the face on my work colleague after he's tried out my VR headset. I don't own a drill and called him over to help out and have a beer, so after setting everything up I got him to put it on and he told me he understood why I got it, as he way a bit unsure about the whole thing due to its pricepoint, not the hobby itself.

Mmmmm...... I have a young heart and young soul maybe? ?
That McGill and Hawk are awesome! Which is the light Blue deck? Just watched the Tony Hawk documentary which totally relates to the question on this post. Hahaha!
46 years old and I cruise on my Old School Skateboards and play Paintball. Thats the newest board setup. I have to take it out on it's first ride soon.
Hah! I had of those! Emerald green with a sparkly yellow banana seat. Broke my front tooth on the front tire when I went over the handlebars! Loved that bike!
48, most of my set-up is Hookups and Indies.
I never got the hang of riding popsicle sticks
Comes from being a freestyle skater. When companies started adopting the double kick tail design, the wider boards were harder to find.
IIRC, World Industries and New Deal spearheaded that movement.
Thanks. It’s a Powell Peralta Tommy Guerrero - the one with the flame & sword on bottom. Nice Rosskop - and I see you’re in CA I would be all up in the drainage canals and pools with that thing! Unfortunately where I live there isn’t much like that, fortunately I enjoy aerial tricks and just riding around…
I always liked their artwork / theme (on Hookups)
Jeremy Klein's love of anime. I was a big fan of Zorlac early on.
My first freestyle deck was a Powell Per Welinder.
No doubt. Have been able to retain a good degree of curiosity about the world and a willingness to explore, try new things, and retry old things.
I'm 72 yrs of age, but I still play high level tennis 2-3 times a week, walk on most other days, wade fly fish whenever I can, and plan to Blue-level ski Colorado again next winter. The Great Outdoors is Nature's window to Heaven for me.
Ha my first board was awesome. I got it in second grade. I won it from a supermarket. It was this huge thing it was the coolest blue color and I swear the best feature was the image on the bottom was the logo for Dad's root beer. Playing with that was the first time older kids (like with a car) gave me props. That board was awesome and then it broke in the 90's. And I don't remember what boards I got after that. By the way I always sucked at skating. I enjoyed it. Weird thing is the skaters I knew where dicks to people who couldn't skate good and tried. I don't know why they gave me a pass and I was still o.k. while sucking.
I already posted here once but I thought about another thing I'm probably too old to do. I mow my lawn in nothing but a thong. Things you can do when you live in the country!
I have to reply to this due to your avatar and your name: I still run a regular game of 1st-Edition AD&D. And I'm building an app and starting a website for it too: Musing of the Pig-Faced Orc - The Pig-Faced Orc - http://www.thepigfacedorc.com
I'm 44 whatever that's worth.
