'Age is no limit': Grandfather takes up skateboarding at 82

A granddad who took up skateboarding aged 82 insists ‘age is no limit’ but has ruled out trying halfpipes.

Grandfather-of-two Don Morton took up his new hobby in September after previously being a passionate skier and rollerblader, which he took up aged nearly 70.

He does not wear a helmet and only wears wrist guards on his board because he is ‘not worried’ about hurting himself if he falls off and said he is ‘living proof age isn’t a barrier’.
