PARIS — At first glance, Andy Macdonald looks like his opponents at La Concorde skate park, whipping down into the bowl and flying above it, transitioning from body varial 540 to madonna to nollie kickflip. But then he takes off his helmet to reveal his gray hair.
That nollie kickflip? He invented it—in 1993. Macdonald, 51, has been skateboarding since before all but one of his opponents in Olympic men’s park skateboarding were born.
