Philly indoor

I’m 37, I’m not old

Another newspaper story, this one from The Philadelphia Inquirer reports the shocking fact that people over 30 years-old are regularly riding skateboards. There are some interesting details about how they organized and paid for their indoor facility and I did enjoy reading:

“Skating doesn’t make you a skateboarder,” he says, quoting Lance Mountain, a skateboard legend in the ’80s. “Not being able to stop skating, that makes you a skateboarder.”

  1. Bad cropping on 3.5 out of 5 of those shots. Still, the article wasn’t wince-inducing.

  11. Carlos built that place solid and is really fun to skate! The only issue is the BS politics and “clickyness” of that place.
