The 6th Annual Old Man Bowl Jam at Skatepark of Tampa went off like a pacemaker in a metal detector. Let’s put it this way, these dudes aren’t getting any younger, and as the ages go up, the skills go down, but the stoke level will never die, until they do. - Paul Zitzer Words and photos by Nick Nicks.
