The older dudes at the skatepark that are all padded and go fast around the park but that’s all they do really. They don’t even try to do tricks just ride around the park. Usually on an Andy Anderson board.

Edit: Maybe they need to try a trick instead of just pumping the whole park.

I bet those smug assholes are having fun too

Hey man some of us never learned to pump and are trying to catch up. Also I only wear knee pads and a helmet. So there.

It baffles me that there are people with the nerve to ride a skateboard around inside a skatepark.

Are people under the impression that they're gonna be like 55 years old and still kickflipping the Euro gap?

That’s a reasonable expectation imo. Average euro is only like a foot, but more likely this current gen of 50 year olds mostly could never kick flip in the first place

Still, the 300$ setup for the occasional fs grind is over doing to much for me, but whatever keeps you motivated to roll is all that matters.

Wait until you find out what a nice bicycle or set of golf clubs cost.

THAT’s just Lhotse, breaking in his new Caliber trucks: cut the guy some slack, pumping is all he’s got!
Well… that, AND the Pit of Death, (or whatever he calls the local bowl.)

You guys have never fallen victim to those old heads

[Steely Daniel]

I'm that old guy pumping around the park except I actually try tricks too eventually.

I'd kill for more of my ilk. There's this 20-something-year-old kook who only comes to the park to drink and only talks to me when he's drunk. He's so loud and obnoxious. He finally started bringing a skateboard lately but never skates, or just asks people to play games of skate that they never finish because he runs out of tricks after the shove variations. Fuck you Louis.

“Oh wow this freakishly talented professional skateboarder filmed himself doing the coolest things he is able to do on a skateboard over the course of a year. If only there was a Temple BFa grad around to slap a too-loud Modest Mouse song on it, I really would have enjoyed watching that”

It’ll prolly be a v-heel or a front shuv….

[sk8n hugon]

45. Still have some mediocre tricks. Still have small amounts of pop. However, it is often more enjoyable to carve around at high speed than it is to send unnatural amounts of force from my feet up through my spine when doing “tricks”. That older rider you see carving around may have more tricks than you think and is just riding in the way that is most enjoyable to them.

I mean I hope so, too, but if I am being honest, I think I’ll be pretty happy with myself if I can rip around the park when I’m half a century old.

When I’m eighty I hope I go by the skate park and there are 55year olds doing Benihana fly outs

in the future all the tryhard old guys will be doing the trendy IG tricks that were popular in their time. yo flips, body varials, and completely illegal no comply variations. I guess that last one will never change.

DUUUUDE cul-de-sac liberty spikes! fuck, im not ready for a vibe that heavy.

I don't think a skater that doesn't skate any sort of transition or have lines in their parts can ever be called a GOAT and thus Tyshawn isn't in that convo. I love his skating, it's incredible, but he can't skate a bowl like Ishod and I can't imagine him being Reynolds and doing chiller lines at 40+. People gotta stop throwing out that term to any skater that is really good.

I fucking hate the term "GOAT" im sure ive used it on here for convenience, but I cringe when i hear people actually say it. or even worse "GOATED" ugh.

I'm getting old and out of touch, these youngsters and their slang wear on me. *shakes fist at sky*

I wish there was an app like Shazam but it translated new slang and gave me a list of links to Urban Dictionary.
