My uncle rode bikes till he was 80 years old...and I'm talking 50-100 mile rides like nothing (and smoked 2 packs a day his whole life)..lol No BS!
Really, look at all other sports...people do all sorts of sports for well into their thirty's, forty's and later(lol)
My buddies dad is 45 years old and can kick my ass on a motocross bike... we both ride yz-250's (2-strokes) and he will hit HUGE triples that I wouldn't dare hit, and get up from crashes that would take me out... the dude is incredible on a bike.
I see guys all the time at the parks skateboarding and on bikes that are into their thirty's and still shred... Why are scooters are any different?
So seriously look at all other sports... is there really ANY sports that people stop doing at 16 or 18 or whatever?
I'm 29 and ride scooters with my 4 year old boy every day.
I ride a Proto Orion (5"x21") and he rides a Razor Ultra Pro.
We have never got anything but love at the skate parks...and street. Plus, I don't give a single fuck what anyone else thinks anyway. Lol
Ride till you cant ride anymore...

You only get hate when you leave yourself open to it. Take pride in what you do. If you enjoy something enough, people's opinions of you should make no differenbce whatsoever.

Scoot until you are physically unable to. That's what I plan on doing. If other people mock you for doing it, who cares? Do what makes you happy.

I'm 15, generally ride alone or with bmxers but the only other scooter kid near me is 10 which feels weird. I get ripped on for it by people that know me, but people that just see me think I look about 12 anyway :)

There are 40 year old boarders, bladers, and bikers.
so i see no problem with equivalent aged people riding scooters.

we need to shed the idea that scooters are a kids toy.

im 21 btw.

i quit before i started high school because I go to private school and thought id get shit because the snotty kids there would just be prejudice. I got to know those kids and 8 months later I'm back on a scooter and some of them know but I don't really seem to care. I still protect my identity but I feel that if you stick with it and keep going strong, you will be better off then those kids not having their good at because they were just following their friends who moved on to the next phase and so on

I'll be 24 in two weeks and I've been riding scooters for a lot of years now. Starting to get into it more again, filming for a vid, etc. and I have a house, wife, 3 month old boy, etc :)

you can ride as long as you want man. My friends that skate (and don't skate) that are younger like teenagers and whatnot and think its super cool. I work in an office full of 28-35 year olds and they think its the raddest thing ever
