In this episode of Planet Roller Skate (Youtube), we travel to Delano, California to meet 76 year old great-grandpa and aggressive park skater, Frank Hernandez, the Godfather. He didn’t start skating until after he retired at 60, and now his skills are stronger than ever before.
If you plan to give wheels a try, first be sure you can stand up from sitting on the ground, squat low, take small steps, and wear your gear to stay safe. We hope his story inspires you to get moving and challenges common thoughts about athleticism as we age. If you’re asking the question “am I too old,” well, here’s your answer :)
Previously: Frank Hernandez - 71 and Counting (2012-2013) - Edit by Ivan Narez.
As I kept skating and finding my legs again I found myself constantly thinking about the past and how tricks used to feel. How good was I? Could I skate street still?
This is Chasing Shadows. A one year labor of love, filmed and designed in Los Angeles, CA featuring talented folks like Ben Poling, Nic Brenden, Garret Kanter, Brooks Nelson, Jacob Bouzaglou, Derek Hall, Nolan Hutton, Kenji, Russell Day and maybe someone other shadowy type folks.
I really hope you enjoy the title design as well as the skating. If you love it, give it a share, and never stop skating. Namaste - Nic Brenden.
