Forever young age is just a number. Never to old for anything.

I saw this video on Monday and broke out my board Monday night. I had not been on a board in almost 20 years. When you fall at 39 it's definitely not the same as falling at 20. Woke up sore as fuck on Tuesday but, can't wait to get out again.

I am with you! 
Not only sticks and stones will break our bones!
Only a few old ones can skate like this.

IH girls denim needed??

I skated from the age of about 14 'till I was around 20.

Just the idea of it now makes me wince with pain!

Fantastic times though and much missed.

Potentially midlife-sad-but-truly a crisis that I've just bought an SC Jeff Kendal reissue custom, same deck I had in the 80's, it's going to hurt but not as much as sports car and teeth whitening!

I was a skater from the late 70's riding a plastic board with Gullwing trucks and Kryptonic wheels 'till the mid 80's riding a Zorlac Craig Johnson board with Independent trucks and Powell Peralta Bones wheels, street skating and riding ramps.

A great resource is available on Vice TV in the section called Epicly Later'd;

Next time you play Hannover
Just let me know, could set up a show. The park has a pa and enough space for a huge gig…

Or I'll do it in a local club just like the last time.

Now that would be awesome.

I skated with Jason Jessee yesterday.  That was cool.  Still the best frontside Ollie.

My first wash.

Dry Phase

Definitely no tumble dryer!

Taking fit pics is like diving in a bathysphere for me.
For that reason, this pic is more like a homage to a good old friend  ;).

But the focus is on the board.
Bought in 1992 as a hand built deck from a long time friend I started skating with in 1983.
It has still a tremendous rebound in the flex, so it is still used as a city cruiser, built with Gunmetal axes and Tunnel wheels.

History:
I was hooked by the story of 'Sims' 1980 and my first admired skater was Lester Kasai!
My friend  bought his deck and an intensive friendship over the decades started.
When he opened his own business with Wefunk, I bought the fourth deck he built.
We are both skating till today!
