A male skateboarder, over 40, who wears full pads (knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards, helmet) 1980's skateboarding fashion, and talks very loudly about when they skated back in the day with dog-town and z-boys. Usually barneys are found in groups, with a particularly overweight guy taking photos of tricks that are not at all impressive. A barney loves telling other non-padded skateboarders, especially female skateboarders, that they wear pads because they are so old, but in fact, are not that old. A barney will pad up even if there is no vert in sight. A barney will speak loudly and cheer unnecessarily loudly when their friends do boring, unimpressive tricks or if a female skateboarder does something unimpressive, like dropping into the bowl. Barneys play music while they skate, which matches their 1980's clothing and pad styles, and consists of one style of music from the 1980's (example: Dead Kennedys).
