here's some pictures of my dad riding. i'm amazed that he's still trying to up his riding even though he's 65. the rock face if up at the woodlot and i know people a 1/3rd his age that wouldn't ride it. he's been riding since he was 54(his first bike ever) and has only in the last 2 years started to get into the freeride thing.....i guess it's never to late.
as a side note he climbs like a 18 year too, beating alot of fit people to the top of climbs

Props, and that rock doesn't look as steep in that picture as it feels to ride it. That from a now 29 yr old. First time down it, i was 23-24.

I hope I'm stillin doin that at 50 let alone 65!!

I saw a guy bail on that rock on Saturday. He rode the rest of the trail, but packed himself off to the hospital after.

And - yeah - I hope I'm still going strong at 65.

that's sweet, kinda reminds of Pete Morin.

my dad is getting into freeride now too, he just got himself a 02 Switch so he's hoping to learn how to do some new stuff
