[igottehgoodstuffz]

[bandini]

@igottehgoodstuffz yep, it is...

[igottehgoodstuffz]

@bandini sweet! I went there once... my sister lives there. It's a pretty awesome park.

[liamazael]

Badass dude... 

[XvFALLENSKATERvX]

Did I spot a Julian stranger reissue deck?

[tonykoz97]

damn



[josebiux]

[bert123420]

[ramirezadventures]

[ramirezadventures]

Sweet, you gave me hope. Keep sk8n

[Gen0swine]

Chaaair boiiiii!



[jjd]

Haha you still have that 90s style lol..

[Ishouldsk8more]

Nice work! never to old to have fun on a board! Im 35 and keepn it alive also! cheerz

[eiknarf75]

This is some good skating, I'm 35 and have been back on the board now going on 4 years. Are you married w/ any children? That's what keeps me from skating more than I would want to. But the little time I do get to skate, which is usually 3-4 times a week for about an hour, I Love it!

[kevinvc2]

@ halfsoaked1..... you know what else is frowned upon.... worrying about what other people think, fuck them!, we are only here once my man, and it be a shame to waste tome worrying what others think, this world is full of haters, so grab your board and go sk8.... and if anyone frowns upon you, show him ur middle finger with a smile :)

[kevinvc2]

Never stop searching for Animal Chin.....

[ariekanibalie]

I'm turning 34 soon myself, and it's a good 10 years since I seriously skated. It kind of dwindled, I would try to go skate, but where I was living there were really no good spots, no time, injuries, all the usual excuses.

I tried again earlier this year, just riding around. I went to this park (FINALLY we are getting some real skateparks in the Netherlands. No such luck when I was skating) during school hours, so I had it all to myself. Muscle memory had completely gone, major pop problems.

[MrKacte]

have you tips for wallride ?

[b0redavid]

as long as i can walk, i shall skate.

[gextvedde]

I just got caught watching this by my boss. Worth it thought. Great vid.

[flipking1000]

Pretty good for an old guy but 2:13 your gunna break a hip

[waitingroom05]

@flipking1000

your an idiot. Age means NOTHING.

[flipking1000]

Pretty good for an old guy

[halfsoaked1]

awesome man, i skated until 22 but its frowned upon in the uk to do it in our 30's (from my experience)

[waitingroom05]

@halfsoaked1

..all the more reason to skate. If it's frowned upon there's a perfect reason to keep doing it. 5uck society and its rules

[ReelEZProductions]

never to old to ride

[BaBaBaBaBirdman]

What's with all the self-deprication, bandini? You should be proud of the fact that you're 30 and you're still able to even step on a board. Keep on skating, man.

[mistafresh86]

whats your board set-up? looks similar to mine. low wide trucks, 7.9 board

[arresteermij]

nice style & tricks!

[jaredmstein]

Older guys taking the game up a notch! Keep it up, bro.

[dedricthere]

Thirty plus. We still run this shit !

[spesqueira73]

@dedricthere REALLY?

[ramoniac1951]

skate to live . live to skate bra

[RoarkIsAwesome]

Skatordie.

[tangerinedream420]

That's whats up doood! roll forever

[PowHana]

super sick, hey gino and rick howard are up there and they kill it. christian, mark, and hawk are all in their 40s... don't be old in the mind. GO PUSH!

[spesqueira73]

@PowHana Its ok to be old? Thanks young'n!

[blackcomet81]

man, you rip. keep it up!

[916thecomittee]

pretty thought for a 36 year old man im 25 if can still move like that at that age ill be juiced for reals it seems the older you get the more prone you are to injuries. oh if you dont believe me just wait we all get old.

[spesqueira73]

@916thecomittee WHATEVER, more prone to drinking a tall can maybe...

[waitingroom05]

@916thecomittee

if you eat and live like 5hit, then yes, you are more prone to injuries when you get older. Tale care of yourself and you will be in better shape than some people half your age.

[SuperBrandone]

dude this is very inspiring.....33 and quit about 4 years ago but shit.....I'm gonna start again. It definately hurts more now....but whatever. Thanks for the inspiration!

[chasemeallaround]

Pretty ill! I'm 28 and only out of it for 6-7 years, but you kick my ass! I was feeling pretty old until I saw this, but I guess you can teach an old guy new tricks. Very inspirational video, thank-you for this!

[7seb7seb7seb]

dude this is inspiring!!! mad props yo!!!

[62ajj62]

woooww ur a monster to jus b coming back from 14 years an being 36 ....props bro lol

[mpamadio]

Awesome mannnnn.

If everyone were like you.

[123Mars]

Wow! Ur goooooooooooooood! I'm goin' to be 33 in May and I've started skating again 3 years ago! I stopped skating 13 years ago, which was a shame... Well I'm back on Board now and I'm learning a lot of new tricks! Who would have thought that? Don't u ever quit (even if you get injured, let the injury heal and ride again)! You're an inspiration to us! FUN! FUN! FUN! Cheers, MaRRs

[toynazi]

im 32 and cant stop, although i have no big name sponsors. i dont give a shit! i dont ride to get hooked up by a company. but i have rode for a few in the past. and still get boxes of product. skateboarding is a kind of fountain of youth! but true, it does take longer too heal from injuries

[basementskate]

yo mad props you are serously my hero.  most old dudes just slowly stop street and end up skating bowls but your rocking out with your cock out

[TrashCanSchool]

dewd..that's awesome..I'm 33 and started to take my skateboarding seriously again about a year ago and filmed a bit..(I also responded w/ a video)..I hope I'm still jamming this hard at 36..I noticed even minor sprains and bruises tend to last a bit longer than when I was a teenager..'oh well'..

[satcheldockry]

thats one of the coolest things to see is some old guy who hasnt skated in like 15 years and is still good.nice work you made it this far so dont quit now!

[antman0719]

If I still have my legs, I'll be doing the same thing at 36 bro! Great vid!!

[chopcow]

Was reminiscing over old Future Primitive video clips when I came across your video.

Same age as you. 36. I used to be hardcore into skating back in the 80s. It's nice to see someone my same age can still do this. You're inspiring me to get a board and start skating again.

[7seb7seb7seb]

do it!!!!!!!

[theworldindepth]

[duanescot]

congrats, you made it to 36 and still have enough healthy body parts to still skate, I only made it to 21 :/
