I've got a really cool skateboard
I bought it 6 months ago.

I'm 34.

It lives in the cupboard under the stairs.

Haha!
I'm 45 and buy skateboard brand t-shirts. I'm not silly enough to actually buy a skateboard.

Use it, you muppet.
If only to upset teenagers.

I broke my toe falling off mine about 7 years ago.
The day before I went to a garden party. Hobbling around, people asked me what I'd done. "Broken my toe" I said. "How?" they asked. "Falling off my skateboard" I replied. At which point they would splutter into their champagne.

Same
Broke my arse bone in my mid 30s after playing Tony Hawk 2 and getting a cheap board from Argos to re-live my youth.

Get on the forum here -

Then find yourself some playmates and get that board out of the cupboard!

I don't suppose there is any 40+ skaters out there?

Well - in December I'll be 36, if that makes any difference?

What is it about 34 year-olds and skateboards?
I'm 34 and have one too - mine's in the garage. It was a prize donated to my shop for a video game competition, which was never claimed.

It does have a use though, my son's learning to ride his bike, so when I wander to the local shop, I walk with him, as he peddles furiously uphill - then post newspaper and grocery shoppage, we both trundle back home again at our own pace..

I gave up trying to skate when I was 18
but suddenly, best part of a decade later, I'm tempted to try again...
