Can people really retire from skateboarding?
Yeah of course, if anything skaters should retire sooner than later, and try other passions. You can?t do it forever and there is nothing worse then watching someone skate in their 40s, or start working at McDonalds in their 40's. People should retire from anything that becomes too popular as well.

and yes, syracuse had some serious rippers.

What an awkward looking photo. It's like Pops is about to shoot gay porn and is nervous.

It always a bummer to hear someone talk about leaving skating but as I get older I can tell you that there's a lot of truth to what he's saying. Like for me I only get enjoyment out skating and filming with my friends because if they get a clip I feel like I did. There's no way I wanna be going out with anyone under 20.

Bill gets it, this interview was rad.

"The people that I was passionate to work with, half of them are not even around anymore."

Pops?

it was from his cinematgrapher interview that was linked in the interview above.

[c. 1995]

Recently overheard a few younger kids while skating

"Yo is fat bill younger or older?"
"Naw he's mad old, like 40"

If he was 17 in 1996 he's only a year older than me  Oh well
