56 year old skater trying out the vert bowl at Slocum skatepark in Thornton Colorado June 2023
I don’t skate vert much anymore and being that I am recovering from a few injuries and the fact I am old means that I am pretty sketchy on the big stuff, but there is only one way to get over that-- skate it. On this day I met up with some other older skaters and a young shredder at the skatepark. I even wore pads just in case since I want to have a chance at challenging myself without getting crippled. Most of the video has Teddy (the young shredder) slaying the vert bowl, and a few runs from us older skaters. Enjoy.
