50 Year Old, Old School Skater!

[Communitis]

That miniramp seemed like it had some steep walls; prob'ly more meant for BMX riders. That's really cool that the old dogs are still ridin'; I prefer those snub-nosed pigs, myself. It almost seemed like you had that fish-eye on backwards; look into a new one, mate. ;)

[gunmaster280]

I hvae lots of respect for this guy hes amazingg:D

[UnLawfulName]

Haha the fisheye looks like a scope xD

[Th3SundanceKid]

i hope im as agile as he is when i hit 50!

[jonehutt5]

that is one burnt out hippie 

[StonySkater]

that fisheye is like backwards.

[auldsk8r]

I'm 50 and I still skate ( surf too). Age is no barrier as long as you're in good physical condition. Plus the stoke you get at 50 is just as good as the one you got at 16 so there!

[trollinrollinbaby]

[milosimus]

i've got an old Hooger booger

[maxinator126]

[saltfan2]

[mtyoung95]

Looks like someone doesn't know how to use their fish eye lens.

Zoom through dick.

[bearfromheart]

i know that feeling when some kid comes to take a video of you when you are trying to skate. kids these days got cameras when they skate... i dont get it! we only had skateboards and punkrock!

[Kyle10Allen]

[timlengs]

Hey, you can't say anything negative about this,

How many dudes past 30 are doin this?

[BillKiernan]

@timlengs it's Youtube. the guy could have 1 arm and 1 leg and be doing mctwists and some asshole would be on here making negative comments.

[treyhxc91]

yeah some of us 50 year olds still have Z-boards... i dont skate anymore but the love of my life still does along side our boys...

[VeitchyZ]

[ultrasickfingers]

[AdrianR74]

[TheSaturatedFat]

Makes me want to go watch Lords of Dogtown. xD

[DEM1571]

i like the fish eye. theres something cool about the way it looks to me.

[lawnshark19]

Looks like an older board like a demon stick and big tracker trucks

[TheBoggybog]

11 dislikers will not be skaters at that age

[Profox321]

nice board

[nationaIity]

He's Got a fucking Zephyr board..... zephyr stopped making boards back in 1975.

[uberown3r]

@nationaIity you watched too much dogtown, they still cast plastic boards, and the company never went bust it just got bought. the brand lives

[2000tomyboy]

@nationaIity are they good bords

???

[InPhamouzProductions]

@nationaIity i bet its a reissue or he had a custom inprint

[baddaythrowaways]

@nationaIity no they didnt its still around

[nationaIity]

@baddaythrowaways no jay adams re created the zephyr boards but renamed them thus creating Z-Flex

[ivegotamagicstix]

Gleamin the fucking cube yo!

[MrZIGGYZ101]

[MisterCbassThePunk]

@MrZIGGYZ101 haha it looked more like a freaking convex lens lol

[MrLovesToCrankUp]

@MrZIGGYZ101 Hes 50 sooo...

[Mast3rOfMuppets82]

You know this guy was ripping it back in the 70's & 80's

[jaytimerable]

the worst part of a half pipe is the starting descent, i nearly shit myself every time...although i am using a penny board

[HailDaSwag]

Zepher BOARDS

[Rockajockgivefreedom]

He doesn't look like jay Adams he looks like tony alva

[ShawtyShaunn]

whats the first board he rides?

[SomeDude138]

@ShawtyShaunn I think it was a Zephyr

[JonGazsi]

oldschool > anything else, shows love for the board

[mojoslrshit]

brilliant...

[h4rb1ng3r]

get a new fish-eye dude. that one is balls.

[xGunnyRabbit]

does anyone where i can get one of thos old school zephyr boards

[Nlghtxhawk]

he's actually riding a Zephyr board! he truly is old school! all respect goes out to this guy!

[mjsmanschmidt]

looked better without the fisheye.. old school skating videos dont have or need fisheye lenses!

[PKJohansson]

A Zephyr-board! This ist just awesome.

[TOMOROCKS18]

Legend



[phxpunk]

anyone ever here of ooooh... Duane Fuckin Peters!!!! He's 50 and shreds pools with reckless abandon....

[spyderparkour]

lol my grandmas 70 she can do the splitz its funny

[oldipod]

What a legend (in both ways xD).

[andrespereyda]

u need a real fish-eye

[aliencrossing51]

Zephyr...awesome.

[pjmgrooves]

2:09 - Pure steeze.

[tevarekVids]

first i see him using a zephyr board.....props to him. Then i realize at 1:08 he changes his board....and at 1:17 what i think i saw was alva...that means it was a tony alva board.....IF IT REALLY WAS.....more power to him as its quite rare to see people using alva or zephyr boards this days plus most of the old school skaters moved on to the modern day "rounder" boards. \m/

[ITheNaTtYI]

Like...um.

[m1i2c3h4a5e6l71]

ayyyeee hes using a zephyer board

[htkendall]

he has an original Zephyr...what a bad ass, is this in dog town?

[unkiejames]

Ha-Ha.....this is great !!!!

I still skate and I'm 37 now.

Still use the Independant trucks i bought when i was 14 and still cruzin on a chet thomas.

only problem is when i come off it hurts more now...........

SKATEBOARDS ARE FOR LIFE NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS......

[HWSSkate]

I think he's wearing etnies!

[nationaIity]

@HWSSkate Did you notice his Zephyr board ? Fag.

[generalaxel]

1:18 He was like "Oh shit, I am so tired! Fuck he is filming lets go again..."

[GREMLlN]

That was a good roll he did

[THEFunnyRandomz]

That board, is worth a lotta money, just saying, but if you were skater, sell it or ride ot forever?

[FallOutaJak]

Daddy?! :D i'v found you!

[Phishization]

Fish Eye ruined the video

[96sk8rdude]

mullen is much butter and he is only 5 years younger

[munkieswillrule]

MOTHERFUCKING ZEPHYR BOARD. WHAT THE SHIT.

[11megabeastmode]

[IMMENSEVIDEOS]

EPIC! the bmx's were stunned at the sight

[kiroilevasiiri]

thats epic

[JonathanDerbidge]

omg thats a zepher board!!!!!!!!

[fickendatsmooshy]

still doing the old school shit!

[sickonedude]

i like how the fisheye actually ended up reducing your field of vision.

[moarcrabs12]

what a fuckin geser

[HolyDylanMenti]

hey danny, if you ever catch up with this guy again could you get back to me on where he got the zephyr deck?

[BigBassTurd]

Those zephyr boards are pricey like $300 for the standard deck and $400 for the hand painted decks. I would love to have one though!

[TheNeckface55]

penny's r sooooooooo lame no offence school mates : )

[conboyist1]

weard thing is he put grip on his penny board

[sparkalanio]

@conboyist1  thats cuz its not a penny board dude its a zephyr board

[31baboons]

hes rockin a zypher, i have a couple old boards like that but there steve caballeros got sweet dragon graphics. i like that not every day you see somone repping dogtown

[Gorvis246]

Is that a Zephyr?

[the1minininja]

i like that board he uses mid way through

[aplaceforme]

verry cool



[longboardenoughsaid]

HE HAS A ZEPHYR SKATEBOARD!!!! LOOK @ 1:44

[SkateFilmEditSFE]

i know 60 year old guys that shred verdugo skatepark here in CA. it amazes me that their bones dont break...

[LipskaTeam]

Lords Of Dogtown

[unodosskates]

hey just a tip on filming I think you should have left the fish eye off and just filmed it normally. If you film with the fish eye, do it while you are ridin along side the person like when theyre skatin street but my opinion dont use it on vert unless your next to em

[haydiedoogie]

That fisheye sucks really bad @1:45

[charv3z]

mannn he's heaps goodddddd

[Liamwaffles]

Hahaha wished that was my pa! He awesome skater

[LeRollClan]

How many boards?

[OlivR93]

This Guy is a Hero :D

[dogsoldiersbrother]

Sick! Keep shredding Richard!!



[creatrixZBD]

thanks for posting this, dude. is that mini still there since they built the new Newy parks or did they tear it down. fun place to skate, everytime i went there dolphins would be out off the beach. if you see this guy again, ask him if he knows about MOSS- Melbourne Old School Skaters, they have a Sydney division too. you have to be over 35 to join. it's amazing h/m older guys (and girls!) are still skating long after people think you should be able to. o-o'

[The5NB]

not gonna lie hes pretty amazing

[austinj67]

that is the sickest old dude ever

[MrDacottage]

NASTYYYYYYY

[cooasp12]

@MrDacottage fag

[BbLlAaCcKkRrIiVvEeRr]

hes 50years young not 50 years old!!

[freddytherubberducky]

Sick! Wherebouts is Newcastle? Thought it was in Aus, then I started thinking of the NZ one..

[creatrixZBD]

@freddytherubberducky Aus.. just north of Sydney

[mrsclawzz]

that awkward moment when you have to skate a mini ramp with dough bag bmx'ers

[PunkandDisorderly987]

@mrsclawzz haha its even better when you take the longest ass runs and right as there about to go snake em!!!

[mrsclawzz]

@PunkandDisorderly987 hahah that is fun

[MrDanielHawes]

Nice one man, thanks for sharing!

[SWAGGAboy181]

Keeping it oldskoll....nicee :D

[rickey3280]

that was awsome



[safarisonoro]

if only this guy but I like

great

[jacob96eden]

@WeirdDirector

hey man thanks for replying

ive seen lords of dog town and no all about the z boys and zephyr.

i was just wondering like do you reckon you can make a similar style of board and just put zephyr on yourself? i dont know why that would cost 20 grand ?

[bluehood89]

At 1:21 Can you tell me what kind of skateboard is that?

[themustardbaron]

@bluehood89 It's a BDS Bigfoot II

[bluehood89]

@themustardbaron THANKS!!!

[JPfingerskater]

this guy is an inspiration. when i turn 50 i want to still be skating.

[sambar02]

fucking sick

[jacob96eden]

Can anyone plz tell me where to get a zephyr board or how to make one??? please please

[WeirdDirector]

@jacob96eden You can get Zephyr's, ORIGINAL Zephyr's online. They are not made anymore as of like 76 or something. Sounds like you don't know ANYTHING about Zephyr, so for some info, watch Lords of Dogtown; its the best cinematic compliment to the "Z-Boys", the original ramp-riders. If you got a real Zephyr, though, don't use it; they are worth a lot. And get a Penny board, they are the closest thing around to the original injection mold Zephyr's. BTW you CANT make one without $20,000.

[RooglebugDooglebug]

@WeirdDirector all you need is a wooden mold and the equipment for fibreglass injection molding, that doesn't cost $20,000

[WeirdDirector]

@RooglebugDooglebug Last time I checked, plastic injection modling did NOT use wood or even a mold (I mean a press). It used a mold in which molten plastic was INJECTED...Hence, injection. And its a massive metal machine. Could be wrong though. At least 10, 000 now a days though. I'm just going by the manufacturing section we have in my school though.

[MGPscooters22]

hey mad video but u say "um" alot ahahahah :)

[TriHaptic]

wonder where he stole the board?

[MrOneyoung]

dude i subscribed your so cool. your vids are awesome and you love skateboards. 2 words... your wicked!

[Fmxbmx1221]

the fish eye rewind it

but apart from that mint video man :)

[denfers101]

hes a ninja at 1:36

[jffloyddd]

he's 50 omg lolol, i'm 48, so what, all you little sh*ts will be 30 to 40 before you know what hit ya, age is not a consideration for living your life.

[omegamidget666]

this guy is old school ritchie,he and his brother both skate they are top blokes and love skating. age doesent come into it if you enjoy doing something do it as long as you can,just keep on rolling. go ritchie

[01codebreaker]

Ivé talked to this guy at Mayfield skatepark aswell, he was nose manueling on the spot and spinning, he's so good

[BadIdeas101]

[luis12w]

[MrSadman66]

[NozlSKATE]

[paulsayer7]

Its Good to see Ritchie in his own clip, he has been skating for ages doing all sorts of styles. Will post it on the old school skate site. Thanks for the clip

[leegaertdotcom]

lol at the fisheye

[InmyJag]

yeah, One thing you have to remember is that 30 years ago he was 20. 1980 was the best time for skating so this guy must have been a pro back in the 80s.

[FwiizzVC]

thats a pretty bad fish eye but that was sick skating

[auth0ritYz]

once a skater allways a skater

[simmonssk8]

[carwile75]

I am like 36 and i have been skating since 88. If that guy can still keep going at 50 then maybe i can keep it up a few more years. T

[lukehobbinsiscool]

[Tankwithboob]
