I dont look at people's ages too much in the forum, so lets get a role call going here.

Me. :)

Present! And fixing to tick over 33 btw :icon_woow

Yello. This forums an interesting idea.

here.... feeling alot older than i should :(

21 and feeling it :(

I'm here. 19.. and sucking at life.

This old timer just got to the retirement home :p...I like teethless kisses, and bridge for perscription pills ;)! I got EPO, anybody wanna play? lmao

Present :) I feel really weird at the thought that it's only a matter of months now until I turn 20, I still tend to regard myself as a 16 or 17 year-old, and when I have to face that I'm becoming an adult it feels pretty funny.

I'll be 20 in less than 2 weeks so I know exactly what you're talking about.

18.5 and waiting frantically to get out of high school

I feel much older than I am. I am only 20 but my biggest worries are rent and bills. I feel much more grown than most 20 year olds I know. Guess thats what happens when I move across the country and get a job, instead of going to college or living with the folks.

Here, Drill Sergeant!

Is this like the old folks home for skaters???

I do believe so yes...

Some of the best skaters on the planet are old.....

I'm just not one of them :icon_snif

The idea of a older forum is sweet. It gives the "kids" more room to get out and explore skateboarding for themselves and to discover things that alot of us older types already have. It gives us middle aged skaters (lol) a chance to have discussions about the stuff that concerns us outside of skating, like life and living. Well that and how arthritus is affecting our skating {rf)

y is it that when ur young u want to be older, and when u get older u want to be young again.?
sigh~
whish i could stay at 21 for ever B)

No offence but if your 21 and you cant spell the word "wish" then your going to have some major problems in life.

Well im 18, feel really old in this forum but still a kid in the real world.

I'm here... the party can start now

awesome, i'll bring the balloons, you bring the food.

though even at 21, i feel a little aged and unsure as to where my life has gone and a little apprehensive with regards to where my life is going, i try not to let a simple concept like age put any constraints on how i am supposed to behave.

even when i was 12 i felt about 67 :)

20 here. Almost 21. COME ON ALCHOL!

20 here. Almost 21. COME ON ALCHOL!

I still feel sorry for people with the drinking age of 21. Ours is 18, and it still took long enough to get there.

I was a deviant little chap and had a fake at the age of 18 :icon_burn

I'm gonna be 20 in a week and a half and I'm regretting the day I turn 21. My family has already claimed me.. and said I'm getting free drinks all night and they are gonna get me so drunk that I'm never gonna want to drink again. Woo.. way to be 21.

20 turn 21 in Dec. I have a long 311 days till I can get alcohol.

its 18 here too, not that it matter to me (i don't drink)

I must have worn out all my drinking fun in high school, cause i'm not too big of a drinker now, I much rather get a pepsi, watch others get toasted, and drive home safely :)...Although, in high school A six pack of Natural Ice (Naty's Ice we called it) costed DIRT cheap, but was gross as hell...BUT, it would do the job for those late night sessions on Genesis and then PS1 :)

It's 18 here too but it's like there were no legal age since noone cares about it, underrage people can still get access to alcoholized drinks quite easily in stores where noone checks their actual age or they just ask someone else to go buy them what they want. I myself don't drink, almost everyone I know do, not that it matters to me but it still scares the hell out of me to see how it's becoming acceptable as a normal thing for sometimes 13 year-old children to get completely wasted on everything they can find on a regular basis.

i agree, especially here in england we have a big institutionalised "drinking culture"

it just doesn't appeal to me, i've learned from my experiences and drink is just not for me

me too

Yeah, I was at a party once, and these 13 year old girls were completely gone. For one thing, holy crap little girls are obnoxious when they're drunk. But more seriously, it is pretty disturbing to see someone so young doing something like that. (most)Kids that age aren't really old enough to make responsible decisions for themselves without giving in to peer pressure.

haha, Naty Ice. I thought only my friends said that. MAN that stuff is gross. I hate beer anyway, and that is like the worst.

I dont drink much anymore. Or at least I try not to. And especially not combining drinking wth skating.

I've posted this story once before, but for those who dont know: I was once skating with a hangover and came down from a feeble grind on a 3ft quarter pipe, but hit a rock right at the bottom. If I was normal my reactions would've worked. But the hangover slowed my reactions down enough that I landed on the concrete completely on my temple and cheek. My hands never even got high enough up to catch me. Blood nose, concussion, fractured skull across the temple, on the cheek and behind my eye, also bruised one of the nerves that controls eye movement so my right eye couldn't look right for about 2 months.

Now I dont even like to see a skateboard when I'm out on the town. Like it wasn't traumatic or anything, I was more optimisic than anyone about getting better. Its just the combination of skating and drinking which is not good. :)

Awww but Pathtek4, you can probably pick up Lionshead, which is the best cheap beer around(according to my room mates, I dont drink, but am still atatched to it).

Im slowing down on the drinking from now on. My last party was it for me. 8 shots (including 3 mixed drinks, and a beer) in a time frame of 15 minutes on 75% alcohol made me spend the whole night pasted out in a bathtub. Mostly cause of a girl I liked. Her friend poured her a shot and she didn't want to drink it and me being me I wanted to prove to her that it wasn't strong or anything. Then she she didn't want to drink alone and I took another shot.

:p I'm also here ^_^

:p I'm also here ^_^

Took ya long enough to get here. What, did you stop at the local drugstore for viagra and celebrex? lol

LMAO MIke! Naw, that's not on the shopping list yet :p

Although, in high school A six pack of Natural Ice (Naty's Ice we called it) costed DIRT cheap
I'm also here. I call them naty ice too. I was about to go get a few actually. I'm 22 and I'm glad we now have this forum to chat about things that younger people might not understand. For example I love the recipe threads I've seen so far. Great idea here, I love it. Off to the store... :icon_pelv

I'm here and enjoying it, more than the pool and bowl riding section actually, and it scares me.

+1 on the good conversation and recipes.

Since drinking seems to be the other topic in here, I'm going to say out of respect for my parents I didn't start drinking till I was out of their house and on my own. I think if I'm old enough to pay rent and take out my own garbage I should be able to kick back a few.

I've had my wild nights but now prefer to save it for special events or little kickbacks or movie nights at buddies houses. I'm also part of that lucky slice of the gene pool that is immune to hang-overs.

Okay, I'll chime in. It looks as though I have everyone beat except for that geezer Dogtown. And yeah, I skate. Not very good, but I do.

Hey, I brought the Metamucil and the complete Matlock collection on VHS!

Im here.Late. but im still here :icon_peac

I think you either need to get new glasses or a bigger watch. Your eyes are staring to go grandpa.

If you guys call yourselves "old folks"......then I must be "dead." LOL

Been busy for a while now, just checked back in. Great idea.

I'm here.

21 and never touched a drink in my life.

If you guys call yourselves "old folks"......then I must be "dead." LOL

I just saw your age and thought "this guy's my hero" ha-ha! Very cool that you are still into skating man!

I am here.

I'm here!

I just saw your age and thought "this guy's my hero" ha-ha! Very cool that you are still into skating man!


Thanks for the encouragement....LastRites....!! I started when I was 58....and am better at it than I ever thought I would be. It is the funnest thing I ever did!!....well.....almost the funnest...hahaha!!

I'm here . Well over 18.

Damn your old!!

Yeah, I feel young again :p! Trying to keep up with all the whipper snappers was killing me day to day on the skating scene, then I find there are LOTS of guys way older and wiser then me enjoying the sport as well!

I just noticed this forum. 37 and skating regularly, just not very good at it. (I skated when I was 13-16, but then didn't get on a board again until this past fall.)

I drank enough in high school and college to satisfy me for life. I haven't even had a been in years.

I am here. Sometimes...

24, married, didn't just 'move' but moved country.

I feel like I'm 16 and going to get caught out for pretending to be an adult.

Yes.... I am here as well :-P

just officially bought my first legal bluntwrap about an hour ago. feels good to be 18

I'm here, going be 42 in April. Building myself a mini ramp to lose some poundage around the waste. I hang around here a bunch.

Well I'm new to the forums anyways but if you wana know if I have access to this forum then yes, and yes I am 18+.

I'm here in Japan and 46.
I drank the first half of my life;
sober over 3 1/2 years now.

You don't get older, just better!

I am 28 and feel no different now then I did not when I was 18 :)

I'm 23 but I'll be 24 in 2 weeks. I don't understand how some of you are fresh out of high school and saying you are old. WTF? I still feel just as young as I did 10 years ago. I think that you are only old when you physically cannot skate anymore. Until that day comes, I am not complaining. If you can get on your board and ride down the road, you are blessed, be it age 10, 30, or 60. Just keep skating.

I'm 21

but Pathtek is still an old man!!

Seriously falling hurts a lot more now...then a couple years ago...maybe I should stop falling.

or fall on softer things!

that is why i avoid skating stairs at the moment, my ankle can't take it anymore

Im here too - But I feel like I'm too old to just have started skating. I just started a few weeks ago. lol I seriously think I am too old.

Proda in this thang!! Yeeeee!! I'm 19, 20 tommorow. Yeee!

I'm here. It hurts to fall now. :icon_ange

Adreed, it takes me a lot longer to get up these days.

My last gnar-slam was about 2-1/2 months ago and it made me feel alive. Those present claimed I could be heard laughing as I was falling, and again as I was ascending (from bouncing off the cement).

Still have a nice 7" scar from that one :icon_woow

Age 38
Software developer
Skated for about 5 years from late 70's to early 80's, mostly just carving banks or riding around. Started again a few weeks ago.

I'm 18, so I guess I can post here

Present in body not in mind... double duce...

18....hello i guess lol.

30 years old - 6 months ago cracked a rib on a mini-ramp spine transfer - FUN times explaining to the boss why I missed work for a week. :icon_redf . Yes older just means it hurts more to fall, still just as much fun!!!!!!!1

Well, here I am, 51 years on the planet, but I have the mind of a 21 year old, It is good to hear from you old folks....:biggrin:

40 and I even skate past the Residential Elderly home that I work at, part time (and plan on living in around 2047).

46 and still kicking,, just not as high

Me? I'm 21 with 13 years of experience. :woot: If you don't want to do the math that's 34.:icon_wave
I will be 35 in 13 days..:icon_birt

God I'm old. Don't know how I made it this far

Vtown is here age 19

im now 18 so after this im going to buy porn ;)

22 and livin the dream. Not really.

I'm here and never plan on drinking alcohol

I'm currently 37 years young, and just coming back from a 16 year hiatus from skating.

Living near Orlando FL, Kissimmee actually.
If there's any other old guys that wanna meet up for shreddin, brewin, anything lemme know.

I'm 26 and feeling young again...after loosing 45 pounds...went from 230 to185 and I'm skateboarding again after 8 years missing in action, I feel like a kid again...:icon_peac

I am 35 years old and skating again after approx. 12-13 years off the board. I was feeling like a kid again, until the body started failing one part at a time. I still love it, regardless.

Ive just joined myself
Im 32 and my son is 2 1/2 and I am teaching him how to skate
let the adventure begin

Bernie

I am here!

33 and still ticking

20 here half my life skating and goin WOOT!!

21. Just started skating again after like 10 years. Althought back when I did skate all I learned to do was ollie. Just saw this forum so thought I'd check it out.

I don't remember whether or not I've posted in this thread, but I'm here. 22 and going strong.

31, still skate well enough to have fun.

34 nothces on my gun stock. Had left behind skating in the late 80's (as most of us seemed to have done)
I recently got back in touch with my old skate crew/friends and found that we are all in the same mindset - getting back into skating.

New dude here... Quit skating in the early 90s after falling one too many times and hating that all there seemed to be was vert skating. Getting back into it pathetically slowly. :icon_lol:

Here, and turning 19 in under two weeks, woohoo!

I guess it is all relative but personally, I don't consider anyone under 30 as "Old Folks" when it comes to skating. When I first saw this forum, I chuckled when I saw that the only qualification is that you were "over 18". Maybe there should be another forum called "Skategeezers Chat" or "Fossil Forum" or "One Foot in the Grave" etc, etc...:cool:

I like "One Foot in the Grave" forum idea :)

18.5 and waiting frantically to get out of high school
Sometimes I wish I was still in high school.

Anywayz, I'm here too.

Gosh there are PLENTY of times I wish I was in high school...The only thing I was required to do was to show up...I just can't do that at work these days

lmao! I've been out of school for almost 3 months now, it feels good waking up and knowing that I don't have to go to school. Though I do miss it for the fact that I'd see a whole ton of people I know on a daily basis.

just turned 18 awhileback:D horray for legally being able to buy alcohol lol

here. or as we were made say in school "Anseo" (gaelic for present)

Yo, 19 here.

I live with my mom :p

20 here. 9 years skating. I have a year of college under my belt. (major in ancient Hebrew and a second in modern bibliology/theology) I will be taking a couple years break to go travel the world skating and filming though. Woot first stop Jamaica!

Anyway, nifty idea. This old folks forum. lol Beards and boards all the way!

I am here.

Hey, looks like I'm back for today, just turned 18 a little while ago.

What's up fellas?

Just joined up, I'm 22. Cool that there is a "secret section", haha.

I just recently turned 18 last October. I love being able to buy tobacco products, so much easier than having to call someone else. I also heard there was a bill being considered in our state to lower the drinking age, possibly to 18 :D, but more likely 19 or 20. Doubt anything happens with it until I am 21 or something though so it doesn't matter, bills take forever to get passed.

well hey just thought id come see whos in this forum

Me! I'm 24.

I replied in another thread about how people get money for their skating hobby and realized that a lot of the replies were from skaters under 18 years old :p Hehehe. That's how I found the Old Folks Chat!

Oh no.. I'm old and admitted to the old person's home here on the forum. {rf) Nah, not really. I don't think 23 is old, but here I am anyway. :icon_smil

Right here.

I'm here and 33. Yay.

I was just looking at a post of the search for animal chin video and realized two things. I am both old and here.

Hehe, I recorded that movie off Fuel over the weekend. :icon_peac

I remember we watched it the day it came out and everyone was just awestruck by size of the ramp. Seeing it now it seems like nothing.

Kinda like when Mike McGill first started doing the Mctwist, everyone thought that was it, it would never get bigger than that!

I'm here 19 years old and honestly it's working out for me

I am "here", 19. I'll be 20 in May. :D

Turned 18 last week :icon_wink

i'm here...and feel old...i went to a skate park the other day and i felt like all the younger kids were staring at me...it sucked...there all in middle school and sponsored...

Did I say I'm here? I'm here. I haven't been on the cafe in months, and I come back, only to be accepted into a new sub-forum! WOO!

It is slightly depressing to log into there, and about 90% of the threads are about weed and alcohol.

im an oldy..im 34

I'm here, lame, and old haha

I'm 18 and feel like I don't belong in the old folks section lol.

bahah nineteen and halfway dead here!!!

figured ill make it to 40 at least but at this rate not too much fartherrrrrrr =P

25.5 years of age here. And stuff.

Present and accounted for. I suppose 26 makes me old here.

Don't remember if I posted here, but yeah, I'm here.

^ Are you sure your here? I dont think you are, i think you should double check just to be sure.

hi I'm old. hell old. so old. 25 old. drink to much old. work to much old. seen to much old. haven't had to much sex but still old.

Bueller? ... Bueller?

I'm here. 18 as of Saturday. I had no idea this section even existed.

It automatically allowed you in once you turned 18. :)

hey guys, had problems with getting in here, perms and what not.about 21 now. my injuries make me feel old.

21 and still immature at heart...

Dogtown. can you please keep your acheivements from overflowing onto my name? Thank you!

/me raises hand

34 and love to skate just as much as I did when I was 15.

Just got here...great forum!

Turned 18 two months ago and I feel old on this forum...everyone is like 15.

Come on, guys! Old is .. 70, I dunno. As long as you're still supple enough to pop those ollies and carve those banks, you're not old. You're just wiser than those kiddies at the park. ...And you get more sex.

Anyways, 19 is a good place to be. Things are starting to happen, it feels like MY life is just beginning to kick off. It's tough but rewarding, and surprisingly nice to be behind the wheel after all the "growing up" years. Plus there's that cool feeling that if I keep at skating (+all other hobbies) for just 10 more years, by the time I'm 30 I'll be ripping!!!

34 and still kicking. New to the forum and returning to the sport. Was I an adult at the age of 20?!? Weird, it seems like I was such a kid.

I used to be with it
Then they changed what it was
Now what I´m with isn´t it anymore
And what is it seems scary and weird
It will happen to you

23 here. just started skating a few months ago and lovin it.

here, 31 and skatin

I'm new but I'm 21. Started skating again a few months ago after years of not having touched my board cause I couldn't find anywhere to skate. Finding it harder now to do tricks but I think I'm just kinda out of shape. Hello btw :icon_mrgr
