Love the observation that lifestyle choices once construed by friends as evidence of a mid-life crisis are eventually accepted as just part of who you are — that has largely been my experience too.
It also helps to see others normalising skating as a commuting form — I'd guess 1/3 of Casey Neistat's videos feature skateboards, longboards, and their electric variants. (He is 37.)
I was tempted by longboarding, but bought the skateboard because they're easier to trick, carry, and stash. I can see myself buying a longboard eventually too, though…
