  • Age is only a number, fear is only relative. Victor Earhart is a shining example of living life to the fullest and neither age nor fear will stop him. 61 years of skateboarding and counting...
    *Disclaimer* - Just because Victor doesn't wear safety gear doesn't mean you shouldn't! Skate safe!!

    I am old like Victor and just bought a Sector 9 Longboard for myself for my 68th birthday. Thanks Victor!

      I bought a Sector 9 for my 46th (7 yrs ago) my kids were too young to have any idea of the ramps, pools & parks I used to skate 30 years before. Took them a few days to see that I wasn't nuts! Still riding it. Taking it to San Diego again next month.

    Truly inspirational, I bought a sector 9 longboard at age 50, I had never skated before, I thought it might help my surfing which I started at age 48. Apart from discovering asphalt and concrete are much harder than our local shore break. I also discovered that I have no idea how to stop, which really made me, much more focused the first time I went down hill. I need to clear the driveway and dust off the board again, it really did help my surfing which has gone backwards since the board started gathering dust

    I have a 23-year-old board that I bought in Imperial Beach California when we went there on vacation, I still have it and a occasionally ride it the summer months here but mostly it's used to hold a sound bar for my TV.

    Bought myself a longboard for my 53rd B-day. An Atom drop-deck, and I love it! Also put Bones 'Reds' in the wheels. Last board I bought new was 40 years old----a 'GT Coyote'. (Ask your grandpa about those!! :D) I also bought my first pieces of safety equipment, although we bombed plenty of hills in my day with none, but it probably takes longer to recover from any crashes once you pass 50 (or even 40, for some people)

      Thank you for explaining that. Propel freaking out about helmets. He's chillin, low as hell to the ground so he's extremely balanced, and he's not going that fast. People need to call down. Sure it's good to wear helmets. Especially if you're young. It's a good habit to start. But the guy knows what he's doing and isn't going 50mph or something. And it's a smooth terrain. He's good to go. If he falls on this road he shouldn't be skating. And yes I know anything can happen. Just saying people need to relax sometimes. He having a good time. It's a free country. Let him do his thing.
