How old is too old too keep skateboarding?

I found out yesterday that I qualified for the 2025 USA Slalom Skateboarding National Team at 65 years old. I would give up my spot to make sure Leiola gets in but I kind of want race in the World Championships in Brazil in November if I can raise enough funds to help pay for it. I'll probably skip the US Nationals in Colorado in September so I can take the time off from work and race. I have only traveled twice out of the country to skate in my entire 50 years of skateboarding. How old is too old to keep skateboarding? I think I will find out myself. Tony Alva is still ripping as well as Randy Katin and several others close to my age or older. What an epic life adventure.

Wow CBS Morning Show story aired never too old!

Just when I think my 15 minutes of fame is over I keep getting emails, texts and calls to do a story. I got an email yesterday morning but was at CrossFit working out at 6:00 am. When I finished class I was looking at my phone of course and had friends texting me saying they watched the CBS Morning Show

Vince my old tent mate from doing the Aids Ride 5 back in the 90's was the first to DM me. We have stayed friends ever since and had some of the most belly laughs when we were getting up the morning after 100 day rides riding from SF to LA.


It's Judi not Jody for the record. Either way I am stoked.
