Not all the adult skaters are losers who can only work labor jobs, many are white collared & business owners..
Beats driving to the local Pub...




One of my other childhood Buddies, he is closing in on 50, owns a successful advertising firm, married a very smart, hot wife, who has her own very successful career, both are college grads, and living the dream...


Course he is also a cyclist, so he also keeps in shape with that & surfing since he home is only 3 house from the ocean, in a very nice area too.. So not all skaters grow up to be losers..

Very, very cool Byron. You and your buds are prime examples of guys who can hold onto the passions of their youths, while growing into mature, successful adults who contribute to our society in a positive way. Good on you guys, and I really mean that. Keeping it all in perspective is what it's all about. Getting to "know" you on this forum over the years has been a pleasure.
