1st time on skates in over 30 years......but you'd never know it!!!
Hi Everybody.
Well, as some of you know, my Dad's in town & will be for RollerCon. Today we went to RC's Stop 5, Duck Creek to try out some gear for him & just to give him a chance to roll around again for the 1st time in over 30 years. Hell, to give me a chance to roll around too, since I haven't even laced up since taking that padless knee spill a couple weeks ago.
I gotta tell you, it did my Heart good to see my Dad out there at all. And once I saw what he could do after being off his sk8s for SO LONG made me feel Amazed. I may be skating for AWHILE yet, People! :)
Well, I know you're all dying to see a 62-Year Old Skater so without further ado......here he is. My Dad,Ben:


Bear in Mind, the Man has a metal knee cap as a result of a vertical rollerskating injury in late 70's!!!



My Dad & me. Father & Son. Also, Grandfather & Father. Also, Great-Grandfather AND Grandfather!! :)


And finally, the Post-Session Rap-Up. And, Look, everyone's still Ambulatory! Smiling even!!

So, that's all, Kids. We kept it short & Sweet. It wasn't that we were outta gas, just wanted to end Happy. We're planning to hit another local park Pre-RC to give my Dad a little more time on his sk8s before all the Big Dogs roll into Town. Me too. I need Vert......
More soon. Hope you guys liked this one. Pretty Special for me. Thanks to Bernard, As Always for this Forum to share it with you All.
PEACE.....................................Jay

 Awwwwwww, wow, that is so sweet! Glad to know that busted, older and all its still possible to keep on rolling. Thats such a cool park for easy skating! Wish I had that to roll in on low key days. Thanks for the vids. That is so cool!! We are so lucky nowadays to have all these pads as I couldnt roll without them.

 Jay, that is so amazing for so many reasons. When I put my skates on after 16 years, I could barely stand up. Your dad looked so comfortable and smooth. I did not realize you had rollerskating in your genes. That is awesome!
