Where's his zimmer frame?

Heard it on the radio. He was going bloody fast though.

To be fair it's great he does it keeps hime fit and active and healthy but as good as he looks at skateing it does seem a little dangerous in a busy town.

Courts should go easier on him really.

Pfft, everyone else was going too slow.

I dislike that his fine comes down to other people's inadequacies. They think "I couldn't skate that fast safely, so an old man - who is skating pretty damn well - certainly wouldn't be able to.

I agree that it's not the smartest place to skate and someone could get hurt, but they didn't. They should have told him not to skate there again and suggested he gets an mp3 player.

If he complains there is no music, why don't he get a MP3 player?

He is a pile of awesome I would not fine him, chances are he has been skating for longer than I have lived and knows what he is going to be honest, he was going prety fast too

That last quote in the video is great

 

[Brooksie]

agreed the place was busy atm, but he's 71, probably hasn't even got a mobile yet xD.

Then again you can get MP3 players dirt cheap so the bloke and the courts are both sorta wrong.

At the age of 71 i doubt i'l even remember my own hands! Well good for him about appealing i think he should

The bloke that delivers the hay and straw at one of my works is 60-odd. OMG, when he is on his own he climbs up a ladder throws off 5-10 bales, climbs down, stack them. The does it again. And again....

the nation should chip in to pay his fine, the mans a legend
