Old Guy Street Spots in Shanghai, China

Published 8/20/2013 by Rob Meronek

When you're 42, it's nice that the best city in the world for street skating has spots that are old guy friendly. I could spend all day at this low impact bump to grass gap. Photos and of course a cell phone edit coming up later. Thanks to HiDefJoe for filming these two clips of me this weekend.

Grown Up Campers at Woodward East

8/10/2013

Ryan Clements and I spent just over 24 hours at Woodward Camp in the hills of Pennsylvania to re-visit this happy land that we haven't been to in about a decade. It went from awesome to mindblowing amazing in that time. From tons of new skate stuff to the addition of a Digital Media Camp for future filmers and photographers, it's off the charts for a good time combined with learning real skills you'll use for your whole life. I wish I could go there and start Code Camp. Thanks Gary Ream and the Woodward staff for having us. I've got two minutes of the experience as seen from my cell phone plus a few photos.

Yep, Skateboarding Gets Better and More Rewarding When You're Older

Yep, Skateboarding Gets Better and More Rewarding When You're Older

Last week was Vern Laird's amazing old guy part that he filmed for his 40th birthday. That was no park shark popa either, Vern's was all real street. This week, we've got another amazing one from friend and many times co-worker of The Boardr, Neal Hendrix, who has been shredding the U for as long as we've all been skateboarding. Both he and Vern have similar quotes regarding filming a part later in life: 'It's funny how it's more rewarding at 40 than at 20.' Don't quit skateboarding, kids, even through growing up with jobs, girlfriends, bills, and weaker legs. You'll be so glad you stayed committed to rolling. Yep, I'm saying it again: Skateboarding is the fountain of youth. Check out Neal's new, ripping vert part at 41. RIP Brandon Ream.

Fat Bob Makes Getting Old, Fat Look Good

Bob Reynolds just turned 40 and as goes what seems to be a damn good trend these days, has filmed a part to release for his birthday. Damn, Bob! Happy Birthday! You can find Bob on the judging staff at events The Boardr hosts. The feeling of getting old really is just a bad attitude towards a silly number measurement, right? You're in control of that bad attitude and can change it. Keep rolling no matter what your stupid number is.
