Age is merely a number.

I love Keri but saying “Now they’ve signed all these little girls who haven’t done anything yet,” is a little ridiculous. All those "little girls" are throwing cork 7s, 9s and way more technical rail tricks than her. To think you won't loose sponsors to up and comers as you get older is silly. Even though she is still winning a lot of comps and deserves sponsors, it's no reason to blame other girls for it.

Jess is one of the most hard working ladies out there no doubt. She worked her ass off for years with no credit and it definitely has all paid off for her. Perfect example of being over 30 and going pro.

The CIGP (Can I Go Pro) foundation states that after being alive for 32 years and 117 days going pro is no longer possible.


But really OP what kind of awnsers were expecting from this thread?
