Skinko Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Not like just riding down the street, but attempting to do tricks and trying to grind their boards on public railings and shit. It was like someone forgot to tell them they aren't teenage riff-raff anymore and it stopped being cool and started being sad long before they turned God damn 36.

Gyaos Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I've seen people in their 50's surf boarding, and they were pretty good at it. Age is a number, but passion doesn't need an age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilosipherStoned Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) lol many people have signed professional sports contracts, became television stars, and started their own company skateboarding well into their 30s what kind of hipster ass outlook is that?

Codename: Jackass Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I have a 32-year-old friend who still rides BMX recreationally when he has the time. I think it's cool that they're out there having fun, adults need to relax sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's part what makes it so strange to me. But as has already been pointed out in this thread, I still play Pokemon all the time. For whatever reason, the idea of adults skateboarding is just odd to me. A lot more so than playing any kind of video game. I'm not saying my opinion on this doesn't make me kind of a judgmental jerk, but I dunno, it's how I feel, man.
