In my town there are the group of little mexican kids (9-12) that always cruise around on busted scooters or bikes or boards or what ever they can get their hands on. they are harmless as far as theft go and they are friendly but they are annoying and constantly buzz through the park and almost kill people and ask to ride other people bikes or what ever they have. the old guy also needs a representation.. the old dudes haha

Lol seeing as how I’m 40 and still sk8 I’m under the old guy category but my favorite is the young kid who thinks he’s a pro and better than everyone else but in reality never has a chance to get flowed or sponsored because his attitude is just like his skating shitty!
