POLL: How old are SLAP members?

[backside_frontside]

32 and been skating for 20 of those years

[GAY]

I’m assuming it’s the 50 year olds that always have a hard time posting pictures or embedding YouTube links

Goddamn, you are correct here.

[Jogging José]

I‘m 43. Started around 1994, stopped around 1998. Got back into skateboarding 2020 and not planning on quitting anytime soon…

[Yakusoku2]

37, started in 99. Stopped in 2009. Started again in 2016 for half a year and then started again in 2022 after I discovered SLAP, so thank you all!

Goddamn, you are correct here.

In fairness, this site changed some shit with YouTube, before you could just use the share link off the app and it embedded, now you have to use the browser link.

Remember having to carve your own stone bearings? Man that took forever...

It is now the silouette of the average slap posters upper body

That's my, er, lower body representing the 36-39 column...

[Frank and Fred]

48. First board in 84. Daily obsession by 86. Currently on the road hitting up some bucket list spots.

[Mandatory Reload]

32. started skating at like 9 or 10, probably started lurking SLAP in like 2005ish. More or less quit skating and following skateboarding entirely from roughly 2010 until I got back into it during the pandemic in 2020. Made another account then and been spending way too much time on here since. Get out several times a week during the warmer months, more like once a week during the winter unfortunately. any nyc pals hmu to skate!

[Fartknocker415]

33 bout to be 34 and can’t believe how fast time moves but also learning tricks I couldn’t do when I was younger while simultaneously being held back by the thought of getting injured and fucking with my job

[ratking]

32. First board at 6. Started doing things other than sitting on it at 10. Sprinkle in a 4 year hiatus. Lurked on here for a few years. Account is almost a year old. Still can't operate the site properly. I'm 50 in computer years.

[D10S]

started skating in 1988, never stopped. I'm stubborn that way...

[Coastal Fever]

37 and I’ve been posting here since Filipe Mota was swimming around in his dad’s nutsack.

[Sick_McCrank_]

So slap is in no way representative of the industry or its customers 

[Switch03!]

45 years old, started skating at 40.  This is my first post.  Currently trying to learn pop shuvs and kick flips.

Welcome to SLAP! I am kind of new here as well.

[Dishonest John]

47, started with 10, never stopped
My whole body is a mess

[The real veganshawn]

52, been skating since 1985

[doomstation55]

Old enough to party

[Musicaldeath107]

37 years old.  Started skating in 98 or 99.  Quit skating around 2007. 
Restarted skating in 2018, landed a kickflip first try first day back, blew my ankle out that summer. 
Restarted again in early 2019, didn't land another kickflip until almost a year later because the ankle was that fucked.

Can't see myself ever stopping again.

46

I hope our resident 50+ age like a fine Ron Allen or Lance Mountain, and not like a Bill Danforth or Duane Peters.

Basically there's two types of old skaters, if you're kinda old you think of Shorty's when you hear the name Steve Olson, and when you're really old you think of the OG Steve Olson.

The latter is a separate age category (65 plus or so) not even included and I don't think they would come here.

[devils acrobat]

Kinda old is fine with me

[The Mess]

47 started in 86.

Goddamn, you are correct here.

51, started skating in 85? maybe 86. Been on here since 2012. I don't post all that much, but SLAP has helped me keep up with what's going on. Never tried to embed youtube, but every time I post a pic, I have to re-learn how to do it. Usually takes a couple of tries 

I still don't understand Frog, but I know some of these things just aren't for me

Your username made me laugh because my husband calls me a geezer pleaser.
