It's not often that you get to witness an older man on skates doing tricks and flips, and completely enjoying himself at the same time.

Most days, you would only see younger folks, children even, doing this on sidewalks, in parks and parking lots here. But a 65-year-old man gliding and moving smoothly on roller skates is a rarity indeed.
