Old Man has had the old LIBtech dagger longboard since 2001 and skated it on occasion. Otherwise he hadn't skated since about 1989 (do the math: 20 YEARS!).
The Young Dude wanted to take out his scooter for a spin and The Wife told the Old Man that he must wear a helmet. He put on my bike helmet and out we went.
A couple weeks later the Young Dude and the Old Man checked out the local skatepark. They had made the street skating as nightly a habit as you can in the Northwest in February. The park looked scary but also looked like a lot of fun.
So Old Man bought a popsicle new-style board and tried his hand at ollies in the street. They got a little better and the Old Man started having more and more fun.
With the new board came some new kicks (styled very similar to a pair he wore in 1987), a new stylin' sweatshirt, and a Protec Helment so that Old Man didn't feel quite so old and unhip on his new adventure.
