    I grew up with Cory in Minden, and I am now 50. Great to see this from him, I need this kind of motivation!

      @@nathangrayvideo I'm not too precious about gear but that's probably because I settled on what I Iike many years ago - a shaped deck around 9" (currently a Dressen rose crew), Indy 169 with 1/8 risers and 58mm 101a wheels (currently Pig). My street days are over so it's smooth crete and wood transition all the way. Slowly re-learning stuff but my weight / strength / fitness are my biggest limiting factors at the moment but stoked to be rolling again, hopefully for a few more years.

      @@nathangrayvideo Since I first started in the late 70s I've always loved skating. Even though I've taken long breaks over the years, the love never died, so, even now, I still have a strong urge to get on a board. :)

    Cory! This was fun to watch, I was one of those four or five skaters Cory knew back in Minden, lol. (And the only girl skater there, for sure). I just turned 50 myself, and got a longboard for my birthday after wanting to get back on a board for years. Cory has sent me a lot of messages of encouragement since I got back into it, and it’s been really good for my morale. It’s a lot more scary than it was when I was 14, but still just as fun. Loved the video!

    The body is like a motor. If you dont keep the "oil" fresh, the motor will cease up. I know if i don't skate for a few days, the body gets tense. 41 here i try to skate a few times a week even if its a quick 30 minutes every other day.

    Love it Dude - nice interview and good vibes. Not that I know what I’m talking about but can I offer constructive criticism (as a photographer) on the hopes that you’ll, (as a seasoned videographer) offer it to me when I need it? I think the center of Cory’s face was in the shadow of a tree branch. It wasn’t a distraction at all but would have been 10% better had it just been nicely balanced. Also, sound was great but when you level up next, score some wireless mics maybe and, what do they call them, dead cats? To reduce the wind noise. And longer! I could have listened for more. It was a fun show! And if you actually try to critique anything of mine, know you’ll be stepping into a war zone of mistakes. But thanks in advance anyway. OH!!! And thanks for the shoutout tag!!!

      the lighting nor the lack or mics were ideal, but it was spontaneous. I thank you for watching the whole thing. Who would you like to see me do an interview with?
