• Hey, my skateboard, now hanging on my wall, totally enhances my middle-aged-man home office, and establishes my credentials as a still-hip young-at-heart, totally not emotionally-dead middle-management-drone!

    I’ve actually ridden it within the past year, but (a) I am absolutely certain I look ridiculous on it, and (b) I’m sincerely concerned that I’ll hurt myself: old people break more easily, and heal more slowly.

      I have several old boards I am afraid to ride at this point including an offroad board I picked up off craigslist. I even have a broken StreetCarver someone gave me (Ill fix it eventually, definitely). Getting old and fat sucks.

        That thing looks wild!

        Getting old definitely sucks, my busted arm is still healing from a crash over a year ago.

        Still, it beats the alternative.
