I bought a Sector 9 for my 46th (7 yrs ago) my kids were too young to have any idea of the ramps, pools & parks I used to skate 30 years before. Took them a few days to see that I wasn't nuts! Still riding it. Taking it to San Diego again next month.
RIP Victor. Respect for living life to the fullest. If you like it, try it. Age must not be a factor. People say to me too i will break something for starting longboarding at 48, but i love it!
Jeannet van der Deijl You'll love it, the wind against your hair and everything, just get good bearings to really cruise non stop. I recommend bones reds bearings.
I keep watching this in awe. He personifies "age is just a number & old is an attitude". He is so smooth applying his technique to downhill. RIP to a good example of ageing disgracefully - old guys rock!!
It is a blessing to see the birth of skateboarding and it's progression throughout time. The first episode of the A-team shows B.A. making a skateboard out of a board and an old broken skate.
Truly inspirational, I bought a sector 9 longboard at age 50, I had never skated before, I thought it might help my surfing which I started at age 48. Apart from discovering asphalt and concrete are much harder than our local shore break. I also discovered that I have no idea how to stop, which really made me, much more focused the first time I went down hill. I need to clear the driveway and dust off the board again, it really did help my surfing which has gone backwards since the board started gathering dust
I have a 23-year-old board that I bought in Imperial Beach California when we went there on vacation, I still have it and a occasionally ride it the summer months here but mostly it's used to hold a sound bar for my TV. I often look at it and remember the great Summers I had in California with my family.
This is so great man! I started two years ago with 55 years with a Carver board and now I make my own decks with epoxy and you show in your video where I have to go for! Thanks!
I am 50 and just picked up a 36" x 9 deck from Skate Shred. Totally huge 90mm wheels as well in order to try just going down the street again. It's not fun getting fat staring at the TV or computer!
Bought myself a longboard for my 53rd B-day. An Atom drop-deck, and I love it! Also put Bones 'Reds' in the wheels. Last board I bought new was 40 years old----a 'GT Coyote'. (Ask your grandpa about those!! :D) I also bought my first pieces of safety equipment, although we bombed plenty of hills in my day with none, but it probably takes longer to recover from any crashes once you pass 50 (or even 40, for some people)
Great video! I'm 57 and go cruisin' downhills in CT on a sector 9 several times/week . Looking for somebody who is up for joining me on pristine roads. Must know how to drive.
I'm compiling a collection of videos to lock in a time capsule that will either open when aliens finally make contact, or it's the year 2525, and this is the very first clip to play
I am old like Victor and just bought a Sector 9 Longboard for myself for my 68th birthday. Thanks Victor!

Too bad he passed away recently...
carlitos skull yes
Hunter deja irony
whole new meaning behind "santa cruz"

Yeah i wish i could like it twice. 2nd time for when the Cruz hit me
Had me cracking up
Rest in power, Victor :'(
This awesome guy died? oh no.
Ya, he died at the age of 70. In a motorcycle accident on nov 28.

Victor is such a great insparation to someone like me who started skating at forty.
RIP Vic, my inspiration, I'm 45 on a 45" longboard from Sector 9, my daily transportation!!
I am 34 years old at the time of writing this and I have a longboarding for about 10 years, I have to be this dude someday. Got to do what you enjoy.
Died too young. Rip vic
he is... the most interesting man in the world.

"Where do you go, my sweet grandpa?"
"bombing downhill dude. see ya!"
:-)
You'll be missed my man
You'll be missed Victor!
Gotta love watching Victor! He's always got a smile on his face.
Victor... you are a inspiration to us all.
Gosh, I love this. RIP Victor. You amaze me.

Same here, keeping low like Victor means putting a slide glove out to slow you down keeps things in check. He's a Hero.
There are longboard brakes now
You are never to old. Top man. Much respect.
Great respect to Victor!
Rest in peace Victor..an inspiration to so many people.
No helmet, still respect
Karel Doedens I got to admit. At that age, I wouldn't wear a helmet either. I would wear a bandanna that says "Adrenaline Grandpa".

Skin grows back :)
@@piewolfe brain cells don't
respect to the camera dude.
im about to say the same thing too..
+Some Lad didn't even think about the camera guy- good call though.
Why respect?
Mason LeVasseur he was matching the same course and filming at the same time
Because he got the goods, with style. :)
what are you gonna look like when your old with all those tattoos? idk mom probably like this guy
Respect for him. I've gathered he's gone. I love seeing my elders illustrating how I should be living. Thank you brother. I will. R.I.P.
Now this is what you call a die hard, respect for the oldtimer.
He's still skating in the afterlife :D
-Austen
Honest Signalz yet your pfp is an ape
Yeahhh
My one question is..How can you not like this? Rest Easy Vic
Props man, I'm 58 and you are my inspiration. I'm never giving up longboards. I started at 8 and 50 straight years this year.
You show me what I want when I get old. Respect and forever young!

this is what a long board loves-any long-board dreams of finding a rider like this!!!-super RAD
Rest easy my friend. The community will miss you
Bombing endless hills in heaven
if he doesn't fear death that should be even more respect
You're a fucking idiot
This is so great man! I started two years ago with 55 years with a Carver board and now I make my own decks with epoxy and you show in your video where I have to go for! Thanks!
Show us!
@@francescogendrinable you can see it in thomasalemania
That's wonderful!! Good luck, and safe riding Vic! Wish you all the best!
That old guy is awesome! He rock's
This is wholesome as hell and keep thrashing Victor
Victor, laying down some smooth turns at speed. Nice. :)
Yea Victor!!!! You're inspiring me to keep shredding dude!
Love this Cat!!
Another hero discovered on UA-cam. 🔥 🔥 🔥
Whoever filmed this did an amazing job
RIP Victor Earha you are was the best of us!
Can't be a sin to bring joy to so many lives. Ride those clouds in heaven my dude. Rip
this video was a masterpiece
Love this song by Wayne Williams. I'll bet Victor took his longboard with him and is teaching the Big Man above some cool moves.
I wont to get old like him
Skate or die!
+ono fakeono Skate til you die is preferred lol
You're never too old. Guy gives 33y/o's like me hope!
Wen i be old i desire to do something like that, congrats Victor!
Such pure boarding he makes it almost zen like
"Where are you going grandpa victor?"
*"Im going to bomb some downhills in heaven dude. See ya!"*
RIP
Rocking the Herschel beard. Mad respect.
Wish I heard about him sooner… just got recommended this.
Hell yeah! Victor finally rocking a proper pair of skate shoes. DVS T Pud's. They're nice Victor.
I want to be like him when I’m older
Death can never take a good man away, for in the hearts of the people he inspired, the legacy remains and continuous throughout generations

eventhough youre gone your image will continue to inspire, Rip Victor !
I love his set up
When your grandpa says he wants to learn long boarding
Totally inspired. I just stated at 50 and love it.
RIP VIC. Hella of ride bro
10 more years and I will be the same age and I am sticking to my Landyachtz
Doesn't matter as long as you love and respect the sport
Ride in peace...
