Skateboarding After 50

[The Huffer]

If you do insist on Jorts try to get your session wrapped before I arrive. Appreciate it.

Also don't knee slide in Jorts. You'll lose a tooth.

AI generated, but going to leave this here!

For skaters over 50, prioritize comfort, mobility, and safety by wearing stretchy athletic gear like leggings, joggers, or moisture-wicking tops, while layering with hoodies or jackets. Protect yourself with knee pads, wrist guards, and a helmet, especially when in a skatepark. Avoid denim or rigid materials that restrict movement.

Key Recommendations
Bottoms: Leggings, yoga pants, or athletic joggers are best. If wearing skirts, ensure they allow full range of motion.

Tops: Breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics are ideal to stay comfortable. Layer with zip-up hoodies or sweaters to adjust to temperature

with this new insight, I say Jorts are 100% acceptable

Stay tuned for the ender of my 51 tricks at 51 part:

Double heel front blunt…
In yoga pants

If by jorts you mean Daisy Dukes, yes, perfectly acceptable.

[rikki]

If you're over 50, you can rock whatever the fuck you want, yo.

Bathrobe and a shower cap it is then.

Spring officially started today. A friend and I were at a park this morning, and I later realized this was the very first "Spring" trick I did after the official start (of Spring). I also realized it's now less than a month until my 52nd birthday. How did I suddenly get so old?!?! Anyway, hope everyone has a great Spring after this horrific winter. Go ride your skateboard, with or without, "jorts."

You always come through on trick selection

I used to do the cab feeble to fakie but haven’t tried it since I was probably 19. I’ll try to remember to try that again.

[Plan9Customs]

You all are killing it. I guess I’ll have to start a kook cam so I can contribute barely something.
Also happy 52 Sedition.

Nice!   I've been eyeing that Lucero deck since it came out.  Happy bday man!

Hell yeah that’s the stuff…

When you need to get aaaaall the way around from fakie into bs feeble, are you kind of light-footing over the weird place where your trucks have to change direction and the wheels pop to the other way over the coping? Or is it a heel-toe weight distribution thing?

That movement always gets me hung up.

Cab to feeble to b/s smith is a weird one. Show me a clip you doing it the way you mean...i'm not quite following (what you mean).

It's funny, I almost never ride this thing (I'm a popsicle guy), but I brought it out yesterday. For the first 5 min, I was like, "Yeah, I dunno about this." But then I sort of got a bit used to it, and it was really fun.

Birthday is mid-April...thanks for all the premature-birth day wishes.  

[Plan9Customs]

It’s not something, but it’s nothing.

[Sedition]

Yup. Love that.

[Plan9Customs]

Thanks. I’m a dork so dork tricks prevail.

Fuck yeah man!

That’s rad and definitely deserved.

[gringo_viejo]

This is so cool!

I forget that some people on here are famous.

That bail with the kid in midair, sheet of plywood leaned on the cinder blocks and the yellow board flying away…damn I hope that kid’s alright! Maybe the gnarliest still image “bail section” I’ve seen.

A thing from today. Nose f/s revert. One of my favorite transition tricks. I'll be hitting 52 in less than two weeks. God, how did I suddenly get so old?

And right up on there how it should be too!!!

Whenever I looked at old footage I would often barely get the nose to tap before already having things on the way round and down for front nose reverts, but it is good to see the trick done right as per your pic!

[The Huffer]

Sick one. I thought about trying those over the years but never have. You make it look like a front rock... so maybe I should.

My body is spent today. Bowl session on Friday. Curbs yesterday. Both long solo sessions. Felt great.

[DNTRODDEN]

Remember when I was 52, did a no-comply, and then was out for 2 weeks with a bum knee

Oh wait

That is now!
