Skate Life

O.G. ryder

Maybe you can help out. Check this!! What is to old for skating? Skated religiously back in the day and rode alongside some crazies for the B3 tour in Lake Havasu. Put-up the skates when I went active (military). Started out when Fabiola (not in states yet) and Jon Julio were first going mainstream..Loco seeing Fabiola with all these pics modeling and seeing her shred up the vert back in the day...Never thought Fab..Been awhile.. Stay-up..Now in mid twenties and contemplating if my *hit is too old. What the *uck!! Miss it..Like speed to drug addict. Is skating at this age reserved just for the pro's or what? Say what you say. Be what you be...

Peace..
