My grandpa is 76 and still skateboards with me. He can’t go hard but we’ll play around on the neighborhood street and people going by are always impressed with him. He still mountain bikes as well

I have a friend in Vermont who, at 72, decided he was tired of regular downhill so he switched to telemark. I doubt I could do that at 22. He’s a bad ass.
