I used to skate when I was 15 - 20ish. Every day for hours on end. Me and a few buddies were sponsored by a small local shop, but nothing big. That was the greatest athletic time of my life - better than all the "normal" sports I had ever played. When you were on, it was like you were operating in another world. Conversely, when you were off....well, the board may get smashed in half.

Good times tho. I've put my deck thru a few store glass doors by accident in my day too.

I used to skate, all through my middle school and high school years. I loved it. It was my life. What I regret is that I let the skateboarding comsume me and I turned down other sports, like playing football. I had coaches in H.S. trying to get me to play football, but I just wasn't into it at the time. Who knows how far I could have gone if I would have played some other sports? Obviously, the coaches trying to get me to play saw some sort of potential. I finally gave up skating once I got big enough (from lifting) that I started breaking boards (without trying) way too often, which was about my senior year of H.S....

Now, I just snowboard. Although, it must be funny seeing a 250# snowboarder on the slopes when most other snowboarders on the mountain weigh like 100# less than me... Just ask JuicedPiggytails, he's seen it. Doesn't matter, I guess. I love it. I've been snowboarding now for ~14 years.

my husband rides from the metro stop to his office everyday and back to the metro after work as well.

In 1990 I made myself a long-board skateboard out of two planks of plywood and some old trucks and wheels which I used to cruise down the hill everyday to check the surf. It didn't look very cool, a long rectangular plank of wood with wheels, but it worked. You could walk it and hang ten off the nose.

i love sk8ing and sk8 culture, though i have little to do with either anymore
kids now in days are so sick with nollies and switch riding
i still have a board that i driveway fuck around on, but i can barely land a kickflip anymore
