So here I am, growing older all the time
Looking older all the time, feeling younger in my mind
And here I am, doing everything I can
Holding on to what I am, pretending I'm a superman

If that guy is in his 40's he has lived a hard life. I'm surprised he is still conscious let alone mobile.

but this guy is obviously mid-60s to early-70s. you youngins will find out soon as age takes you, as it takes us all.

Is this what you think 40s looks like?

People who were 10 when Self Esteem came out probably think that, yeah.

They would be 37 today, and have weird expectations as to what would happen to them in the next three years…

The more it hurts the more it shows you really care, right?

As someone who is 40... and considering buying a skateboard cause Jesus christ i need some exercise anymore... I hope that I can stay that cool.

As someone who is 34… that’s a longboard, and you should totally do it! Way easier to ride than a skateboard because it has a huge platform to stand on and a big wheelbase. I’ve been longboarding since I was 19ish and still keep it up.

The site I used to buy from in college is still around:

Those are completes, so they’ll come with everything pre-assembled out of the box. Look for “drop thru” for some boards that are easier to ride because the deck is lower to the ground relative to the wheels.

You can only be as rad as you want as long as your hips still function.

And knees and ankles in this case
