Well, with rollerblades it's possible he started in his 30s and just never was embarrassed enough to stop.

There was a 85yo guy who snowboarded at the Mtn. I worked at.He said what else was he going to do? His wife had passed away and he didn't feel like sitting home watching T.V. all day.He didn't use a cane but did carry one ski pole for the flats and had click-in bindings.More power to 'em.

Call me a one-upper if you will but there's a guy (50-ish) in Denver who rollerSKATES around a big park with a boom box on his shoulder.

We actually like watching him, well, rock & roll.    [thumbsup]

Will see what I can do about snapping a pic.   ;)

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
