i'm not extremely old 29. started skating when I was like 11ish. I was a true skate rat for years, then music at first, and a few bad injuries that I was an idiot with healing slowed me down, But i still get other there when i can, hit the park early for my old man session, and hit solo spot missions. Being down in Brooklyn is fun, because there are a ton of rippers, but also a bunch of people in my same boat.
All time favs:
Gonz
Cardiel
Koston
Huf
Gino
etc
currently riding a 5 Boro deck, 8.25, Indy trucks (always and forever), Spitfire 54mm, bones reds.
