This is meIs there something fundamentally wrong with a man over 40 skateboarding?
I must admit the initial purchase was a impulse buy. Brett and I had been watching an old video transfer detailing the history of skateboarding in New Zealand. Both of us overcome with nostalgia, Brett mustered the courage to go out and purchase a longboard. Needless to say I was close behind.
The guy behind the counter mentioned that he'd sold a few longboards to older guys lately - I confessed on the spot and he laughed when he recalled Brett coming in looking for a board.
On the way back to work, longboard under my arm, I swear I looked like some cool urban surfer looking for the perfect street to skate. I was no longer MarkJ, Cellular Engineer - I was MarkJ, frumpy guy with a longboard under his arm. Categorize me into some "box" now be-arch!
Last week I brought some red wheels for my board - red wheels go faster, don't you know!
It's nice to know the child is strong with this one.

Hahaha! This made me laugh, even being the second time around. All you need to do now is get the lingo right mofo.
