I turned 39 this year and started skating this year as well. Im a fairly active and healthy person but the first few month was a little rough transition on my body. Gil is right, its an addiction, I think all day about being able to get off work and skate. I work 10-12 hour days doing construction then get out to skate as much as possible. Age is just a number, after the first month or so I started to feel physically and mentally better then I have in over a decade. Everyday im learning something new, it feels amazing. Landing my first kickflip a couple weeks ago was one of the best feelings i have had in a long time. Fuck yeah man, get out and skate.

I didnt skate for over 2 decades... now im 43 and back in business with bloody knees. skating with my daughters is so much fun. LOVE IT

I came back at 43 and I still skate at almost 46. I skated from 87-97. It's not that easy to skate now since a knee surgery recently, honestly youre more frail in your mid 40s and its harder to come back from severe injuries, and sometimes you never get it back. He can say what he wants but wait for a few more years dog, once you get toward 50 your joints can go out at anytime. You don't have the blood flow in your joints at that age like when you're a kid. . Hes a rad skater but honestly being middle aged and skating is work, and it's a serious life choice for some.

I really needed this inspiration I’m Ngl. All my friends have quit skateboarding so now I’m back to riding solo but I’m still doing what I love

You didn't quit skateboarding because you got old, you got old because you quit skateboarding.

Just finished a garage session! It's like the beginning all over again! I love you Gil! Thanks for the motivation!!!

hell yeah, im almost 40 and still skating everyday pretty much. This guy is so good!

I'm 31 and literally feel more confident on my board than ever. I'm even tempted to start making youtube videos to document my old man progress lol. I'm never stopping! DO stretch tho....that definitely helps after the session.

Right on. Nice edit. There are a lot dudes in there 40s and 50s in Colorado that shred.

I'm 48 yrs old until now I skate it's in my blood.

I’m 33 and skating consumes me and I love every second!

Love this interview we need more

Dope video,much respect to Gil .💯

Gil Godfather of PQ Skate and destroy till we die

Yeah Gil! Great edit Christian.

I had to quit years ago due to a rolled ankle, picked it up inconsistently till I road rashed my knee.. Tried again after healing, then woke up with a pinched sciatic nerve. I'm only just now getting back on the board after 5 months, I'm only 26 (turning 27 this month) but due to my Kyphosis (Advanced form of scoliosis but a C shape instead) and the way I treated my body in my teens.. I have a very hard time, skating helps my depression but the fear of falling wrong stalls me. I feel this dude, life gets in the way sometimes. Best to keep going if you can though, but at times you can't and just gotta hope for free time.

i would love a review on the dc manteca 4!!! Look like dunks but how do they skate

Dope Edit!!

He pretty much said every reason I stopped "skating" I still kick the piece of wood around, but I don't put myself in a situation to get hurt. I'm 36 with 3 kids...

I hope to be like this guy. Still skating strong. Just turned 38

This is a siiiiickk video!

I’ll watch this in 20 years

He is really good

Guys, no more excuses!

Spine injury…. Still try to skate flat ground when I can

How does this man skate 7 days a week I’m 16 and I skated like 5 days one week and my legs were not happy

All those excuses is why I Started skating at 41. None of those things will win.
