When you're only able to skate once a week (if even that) due to real life shit.   :'(

You remember a time you could name every street pro.....in less than a minute.
Those were the days.  Or you remeber when "Vert pros" were forced to put out street parts.  Cab and Tony Hawk are definitely legends, but no one needs to see their street parts.

No way! Tony Hawks early Birdhouse street parts are sick!

You know you're old when you think Tony Hawks street parts are sick.

umm ... cab's street parts are dope too btw! did you not all see the recent compilation of his street tricks?
i once saw tony hawk demo at a "street" park in sydney in 96 (?) and he was an absolute machine; way more consistent than any of the other pros there.

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

...you hurt yourself when you LAND a trick. 

I pinched a nerve in my back landing flatground trick. I fucking hobbled out of the park using my skateboard as a cane. A woman younger than me asked me if I needed help crossing the street. I'm old.

when there are kids at the park young enough to be your kid and they already have their own kids.

When you always skate in pants so that no one can see that you have your balls tucked into one of your socks.

when kids tell you that its ok that you push mongo switch, because you are "part of that generation"

when kids tell you "I hope I'm still skating when I'm your age"
Are you a kook? If you would say this, the answer is “YES”
I quit skating for a time due to piling out

Ha, related to this is how I wear down the sole of my shoe faster than its toe these days, a telltale sign that I'm aging.

You actually take cushioning and arch support seriously because your body needs it.

Going into to business with Vallely is the skateboarding equivalent of starting a land war in Asia, just don't.

You remember how sick Cali4nia Skate Express catalogs were.

You remember Vans, Airwalk, Etnies, and Simple being the only 4 skate shoe brands.

You had to drill extra holes in your board because Tracker trucks had long baseplates.

You remember Indy, Venture, and Thunder being the only trucks with 6 holes.

You remember the only bearings being NMB/Singapore, German, and Swiss.

You got really upset when BMXers and non-skaters started wearing Etnies.

You got upset when Fred Durst started wearing DC's.

You remember Fred Durst.

You thought A-Team was the dumbest thing to come out of World.

You remember Darkstar being a wheel company.

You don't understand why anyone could be nostalgic over Storm era Osiris, HookUps, and Shorty's Skateboards because you thought they were bubblegum kiddie nonsense when they were popular.

You wondered where Jovontae disappeared to in the late 90's.

Marshall's and Ross were your place to get shoes for skating and you skated so many pairs of Converse One Stars, Adidas Superstars, Nike GTS's, Ellesse, Puma suedes, and K-Swiss Classics.

You still wear Polo because you wore lots of it as part of the Menace kit.
