There are loads of weird and wonderful London social groups. Rock art enthusiasts, Panini sticker collectors and Quidditch players. Here are some of Facebook's Very Old Skateboarders, who use social networking to meet up in the city. It's a whole new way of looking at skaters in London...

Congratulations! Skated as a kid, stopped when I was 24, and started up again when I was 39, after being diagnosed with diabetes. Being on your board is one of the best feelings in the world! It is wonderful that we all share in on it no matter age, nationality, or gender. Keep doing what you do. Lots of love from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.

Two people disliked this? Two people who apparently have terrible lives and no longer have the ability to like anything.

Cool! Way to go! I'm a 57 year old female skateboarder.

@batcheeboy5077 4 года назад

just found this today,i'm 60 year old skater myself,(man)i got into it through surfing as well,most surfers do a bit of skating,but for me it took over,no 5 hour drives,no crowded line ups,i'm a loner so it suits me,its very addictive,and i can skate every day if i want,i got ramps,ledges kickers,i made in my own garden

@Oxcilic 3 года назад

couldn't agree more. i used to ski every winter my whole life but switched all that time and energy to skateboarding. i love how there's no queues or long drives

Note to whoever jobs it was to catch this wonderfull thing on film. Skateboarding is a sport, performed on a board. So try, to film the skater, riding on the board, and dont zoom in to much. You could even move with the camera, so following the person, in a shot. Its not that hard, to film. Skateboarding can be more difficult, respect for the ladys:)

@johnroth8383 2 года назад

i was taking my god daughter to the park on her "barbie bike" when she was like 7. She threw a hissy fit unless i took my old skate down hanging in the garage to ride with her (i told her i would break my neck on that old skate! but she persisted). I was about 45 at the time.. hadn't skated for years before that. After "sawtoothing" down a steep hill on the way to the park that day... i was like.. "damn! i can still skate!". I am 63 and skate every weekend, and occasionally go out on an after work night skate. I will skate until i can't. As Jay adams once said.. "you didn't quit skating because you got old, you got old because you quit skating" lol.

Right on if you love to skate you still are enjoying life,and we should you know when I was a teen it was like whatever, but at 48 I skate like it's my last time everytime. Because it might be soon, I hope not.

@jimmytgoose476 2 года назад

This is bloody brilliant , coming from someone who got cheers and looks of disbelief for slaloming in the park this afternoon - and I'm only 57 😃

@smangen 4 года назад

@EugeneMaynard Месяц назад

I love all forms of skating! Longboards,slalom, inlines, quads and ice skating! At 63 I am trying to be continue with all the disciplines, the only thing I have stopped doing is riding skate parks and aggressive in-lining, purely due to the fact that I cannot afford to get seriously injured! Once a skater always a skater😎

@paulward4268 2 года назад

@@timmckenney9012 Hey Tim - thank you so much for the heads up on that - I will search that out asap👍. I'll be very interested in hearing those interviews , especially from the old timers - cos I'm one myself - I hail from the long ago days of 1977!! The Dogtown boys in the US, John Sablosky, Mark Baker and all the others here in the UK - they were my heroes. Followed the Bones Brigade for years until life got in the way, and like the rest of us, I got distracted and forgot about skating. But purely by chance I caught a clip from 'Rollin' Down the Years' here on YT, and jeez it's all come flooding back - and what an absolute Joy it is😃😃 So I'm digging out my skate, and going for it, even though I can't do as much as I used to!!😂 As you said -"Shred till Dead" right? Thanks so much for passing the info on Tim, and Huge respect back to you Sir. Thrasher!!! 🤪🤪💯💯👍👍👍
