No matter what comes out of his mouth or the decisions he makes in his personal life, it's very hard for me to imagine mj skating subpar.

I don’t follow him. Does he still rip? I’m drunk but I think the point of this thread is skaters who still rip at 40

I'm hyped that Simon Woodstock still does weird shit. He and Hosoi both went ultra religious, but I'm glad he is still a weirdo.

Reynolds.The Boss obviously gets many mentions here and rightly fucking so. How old was he during Stay Gold? He has been steady killing it and producing noteworthy or epoch making parts for, what, two decades now? AND the guy just has not stopped progressing either. What a body.

We could say the exact same thing aboutJamie Thomas, however I feel The Chief did have a little bit of a lull during the New Blood / Zero Promo / Xhris Cole’s Reign Of terror / Garett Hill’s troosers era. From what I remember his New Blood part has a decent bit of old footage. Having said that, he did get a Thrasher cover and multiple page interview that year. Fuck me, the guy filmed that Cold War part at 39 /40 and that part is full of hammers.

I’m actually not sure who else is defo over 40 yers old and still ripping.

Ellington has aged like a fine wine- a cliché for sure but a true one. To me his style is unimitatable and timeless.

Greco and Klein are both still doing their thing and releasing videos etc.

Huf?

Matt Mumford?
