Now, they ride in pursuit of staying active with a like-minded community.⁠ ⁠ Once a week, at a skate park in Encinitas, Calif., Barry Blumenthal usually joins a group of skateboarders in their 50s and 60s called Deathracer413 organized by former professional skater Doug Marker. ⁠ ⁠ Blumenthal, 58, retired from his job at Merrill Lynch six years ago to pursue his love of skateboarding full time. His morning routine consists of a cup of coffee with breakfast and a drive to the skate park.⁠ ⁠ “Senior skaters are like children in a sandbox,” said Marker, 61. “We always gravitate toward each other.”⁠ ⁠ Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk said people around the world are discovering the sport at a later age. Compared with his self-described renegade years as a young skateboarder, the 55-year-old now warms up with stretches and works with a physical therapist who meets him on the ramp to help him “snap into more difficult tricks without much fanfare.”⁠ ⁠ Read more at the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ 📷: @maggiehshannon for @wsjphotos」9月10日 9時00分
