Great episode. But being from Boston I am offended that you'd say Godsmack is from Boston. We don't claim those clowns. The awful accents were in no way offensive, though, and I encourage their usage.
This video made me go to the Santa Cruz website and drool at all the decks. 40 isn't too old to get back into skateboarding, is it?
You're never too old. You probably just have to do "old man skating" (as my doctor calls it) -- basically lower impact stuff so you don't blow out your knees/ankles. Or build a mini-ramp.
