How many 90 yr olds can do this?
"Banana" George Blair turns 90 years old on January 22, 2005.
He learned to ski at age 40 and started barefoot water skiing at age 46. He still performs at Cypress Gardens in Florida and this year Guiness Book of World Records recognized him as the oldest barefoot water skier. He learned to snowboard at age 75, drive a race car at age 81, sky dived at age 82, surfboarded at age 83 and rode a bull at age 85. Happy birthday, "Banana" George! http://www.bananageorge.com/images/bananamontage.jpg Banana George's website |
That's awesome! I remember seeing him years ago, was it "real people'?
Glad to see he's still alive!! (reaching for a banana) |

Great inspiration! Recommended reading: Kelly Ferrin's "What's Age Got To Do With It?" |

-- Thanks for this inspirational post. Bicycling lends itself well to seniors; it's easier on the joints than running.
