How old is too old?

[RiccardoM]

What about skatehut? My mate got his from there.

 

[AliAnderson]

That's what I was thinking, you could always go with a grit ....

 

[RiccardoM]

He has uk 8 feet

I have size 8 feet, I ride a 4.25 fine.

 

[AliAnderson]

The new invaders are the bomb-diggidy.

 

[Serapth]

UK lol. Also where do you live? The alternative is to order online.

He wants to stand on one to see if its ok for him prior to buying as its a fair bit of money just for the deck.

Hes currently using an old one my friend doesnt use anymore, made up from spares mainly not sure how long it will withstand his abuse lol

id say age like 28 is beginning to get too old.. it just looks kinda dooft when youre a fully grown man doing tricks on a scooter

 

[TheObserver]

Lol bot having a conversation. But the age I think you should probably stop at is around 102

you're an idiot, you're never too old to do any extreme sport, just not physically fit/coordinated enough/injury resistant enough. I can't believe you actually pinned an age in this thread

get him a district complete, or a addict or you could get him a chesse grader a.k.a sacifice got that from my friend Conner

 

[Kevin Booth]

wow wish my dad would tried.

 

[RiccardoM]

I think he is planning on getting one..his problem is he doesnt know much about them with regards to which brands to avoid and which are reputable. One of my mates has a zinc ftw he doesnt use anymore so im going to borrow that for him for the time being.

I remember the first guy who posted that. Hahahahahahha/

I see a lot of Dads going to skateparks with their kids around here, taking up skateboarding.

You're never too old, as long as you want to do it and it makes you happy then you're good to go.

 

[Rob.]

there is no too old so long as the will to ride burns within you

 

[Serapth]

He used to skate up till a few years back..still does now and then. Think last time ge skated properly was early last year when he went to barca for two weeks..came home almist crippled.

Hes ordered a crisp deck online, just in the process of deciding on wheels bars compression etc at the moment.

 

[joshbeattie]

now i'd like to think that i'll keep on riding until i'm not physicly fit enough to do so, as i guess most of you do? but my dad used to skate (rode for alleycats or something) and he had the same attitude, but he stopped around his 30's, he still loves the sport but he say's that he just wanted to settle down, have kids and live a more normal middle aged mans life, and it just sort of wories me that i and maybe everyone else might do the same, so maybe you can get 'too old' to ride?

oh and if you haven't guessed, my dad couldn't be more dissapointed that i didn't take up skating :trollin:

 

[All-Weld]

Im 30 and still ride scooter. I have a kid, a wife and run my own welding business. I also ride bmx bike, DH mountian bike, motocross, snowmobiles, ATV, i ski and snowboard...I have no intentions of stopping any of these any time soon. Scooters are no different.
