I miss it sometimes, but then I get on a board and smack my shin or roll an ankle. Shit hurts a lot more at 30 years old and 200 + lbs than it did at 19 and 150.

A current deck?

wtf kinda emo skater slang shit is that?

How old are you? If you aren't pro, you have no bidness on a 'deck'...

I used to be sponsored by a local tiny skate shop when I was like 15 and 16. Was decent - skated with some heads a LOT better than me. Used to ride a Zoo York deck.

That shit is easily top 5 most difficult sports. Takes balls too.

That was my sticking point. I used to fear the stairs. COuld do 4 stairs at most. No handrails. Good kickflips, great 50-50 grinds.

i got jazzed up after watching some skate flicks a few yrs ago
went out and bought a board and shoes, tried to get back into the scene
didn't work out to well, falls hurt a lot more and my skills are faded
just a spectator now
many a afternoon were spent skating as a kid, great memories
and i think girl is still in effect

Bill Danforth was the man. I will never forget seeing him pull a 10 foot acid drop off the top of a half pipe. I was stunned. Ahh the good old days. Haven't got on a board in years. I see no reason to injure myself. One buddy just had a hip replacement and another foot surgery from doing the ol "I am gonna try to skate again" thing.
