Geezers skate

Long considered a teenage pastime, skateboarding now counts among its participants a growing cohort of adults who, despite having children, full-time jobs and mortgages, see no reason to retire their boards.

Indoor parks in Montreal are known for their unofficial old-timers' nights, which tend to attract skaters in their 30s and older, and it's no longer unusual to spot someone with a few wrinkles or greys pushing down the street.

Skateboarding has grown up.
