What do you think of this ? see this all the time, trying to jump up onto benches and walls and whatnot, mid life crisis? lost youth? or perfectly acceptable?

No they are not grown men and they probably still live at home with mum and dad.

Great to see them doing sports that are fun to them, being active, moving outside, instead of just sitting in front of computers all day (like me Cry), eating too much and becoming obese

Caisey Neistat uses one to get around New York. He's late 30's I think. Highly respected YouTuber with millions of followers. A large percentage of the New York population knows who he is, especially taxi drivers and bus drivers.

One of the good guys.

Tony Hawk managed a 900 aged 48. I think I might be able to manage a 9.

The Chaser - yeah, that's him! Laugh

I liked his vlog where he was dragged around Boston on his skateboard by a drone and then hauled into the air by the said drone. Worth a look.
