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.”

Carlos built that place solid and is really fun to skate! The only issue is the BS politics and “clickyness” of that place.
Just like high school all over again. Lame

Just skate guys…..fuck counting years.
We will all have or last session sooner or later. No point in wondering when or where it will happen.

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