I kinda have to agree with new yorker on this. Skateboarding has been a sorta hip scene for kids for a while now, but I disagree that old people haven't been on them. I see plenty of thirty and forty year olds trying to recapture the Eighties on skateboards and plenty of snowboarders who were skateboarders, but now have money and age to fend with. And plenty of yuppies own the new skateboarding companies (as well as the old) so this point is moot. I would suggest to try to see what's happening in Barcelona. I know quite a few professionals come from Barcelona.
