I saw a video of this 12yo absolutely shredding and i think it looks cool and fun as hell. I love skiing and this seems like a close substitute. Everyone says golf but i always get tired of it after 4 holes and I also suck at it.

Will I be shunned and hated and have trouble with the law if I skateboard around? Is it deeply pathetic? Or is it cool and won't be a big deal if i mention at a party that I skate.

i used to skate back in middle school. picked it back up in my 30s. i dont do street tricks. i just drop in on half pipes and get as much air as i can. slowly working my way up to riding vert ramps. it's my main hobby and great exercise.

are you OPEN about this with your FRIENDS and COLLEAGUES and WIFE? how does it go when u break the news? I have been to the skatepark a couple times and it's mainly little kids on scooters with their parents (parents are usually my age), degenerate highschoolers smoking weed, and some older guys who appear to be nearly homeless (usu the best skaters). I prefer to go to the local community college to try to ollie over cracks in the sidewalk and practice shuvits (I get them like 30% of the time)

I’m at a V10 and tons of guys in my practice group still skate and skate hard. A bunch of us will do it together to blow off steam during a big case; there’s a skate park a couple blocks from the office. Sometimes we’ll see lawyers from other firms there too especially on Fridays so I know it’s not just us.

you may want to edit to avoid self-outting as i’m pretty sure only one v10 group hangs out there.

were you there last week when the smith gambrell russell partner tried to steal that security guard’s hat?

John Quinn (of Quinn Emmanuel) is famously a huge skateboarder--check out this interview at 4:00 he has a couple hanging in his office

You can surf and into your 70$ without being an absolute loser.

Snowboarding cutoff is late 40s.

Do one of those instead

One thing about skate parks a lot of people dont realize is most of them don't expressly forbid cars. When I'm on business with a rental car I'll drive it in the local skate park over jumps and stuff, it's a ton of fun and a lot less physically risky (fucks up the car usually though)

I have a prole co-worker who's like 38 and still skateboards. He posts videos of himself going down rails and doing "ollies" etc.
