lowrider Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 What a pussy giving up some tricks @ 53. I didn't start to Skwal till after I was 53 but taking it main stream doesn't seem to be working ! Actually the fact that he knows his limits @ 53 proves he hasn't taken too many hits to the head in spite of the fact he's riding on pavement. 39 years hell of a career ! I wonder how many boards he has destroyed in his life time . I quit after a few weeks. The steel roller skate wheels just weren't doing it for me . I landed without the board around too many times. Skis fastened to my boots turned out to bee a better match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Norman Posted May 27, 2021 Report Share Posted May 27, 2021 My favorite line on aging: If you can do everything at 40 that you could do at 20 then you didn't do much at 20. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
