What? Are you crazy? Those are the best boards ever made.

Ok not really. That was my very first board. I think I was like 6 or something. I hated that board. My mom just didn't want me to be cool. :'( I eventually stole a better one. ;D

Re:Does anybody here skate??
 

I tore my miniscis ( think thats how you spell it) snowboarding so I cant skate any more because of that. I was the man at nosemanuals. fun stuff back in the day.

Re:Does anybody here skate??
 

skating was my passion, seven years skating: good times- i gave it up last year because of my injuries, hardest thing i've ever had to do, seriously.

here's my list of injuries, from the bottom up:
torn tendons in both ankles all the way across
both ankles rolled over 20 times apiece
shin bones rippled like a condom
left knee: torn ligaments and popped out of the socket
right knee: torn acl
broken cartilege in my right hip
fractured rib
broken left hand
fractured left forearm
fractured collarbone
and two concussions

that's about it, i think there's a few more but i can't remember them right now, and that stuff is only from skating. it starts to hurt after awhile, wish i had some good pictures to show you guys, i wasn't famously pro, but i had some pretty good moves, i'd say my two best on tranny were switch 360 and switch bluntstall. i loved switch moves- like when you're in a miniramp and you're putting together a run so solid and packed with switch moves to where people can't tell if you skate regular or goofy- that's the ultimate right there 8)

edit: oh yeah my setup, well i've got a stack of over 50 broken board but right now i'm rolling on a fly ride:) it's a blank deck with black bearings blank wheels and hurricane trucks= big pimpin ::)

Re:Does anybody here skate??

Re:Does anybody here skate??

Re:Does anybody here skate??

I got blacklabel with some heavy ass indys and who knows what on some luckys.

i grind and wallride am I the only one who could give two shits about fliptricks?

injuries so far:
fractured skull
broken nose
multiple concussions
torn cartlidge in my right knee(I'm goofy)
some floppy ankles
and a broken collarbone

Re:Does anybody here skate??
 

Are you guys aware that your talking about skating? Just wanted to know?

Re:Does anybody here skate??
 

i worked at a skate park in my home town for 3 years. i love skateboarding. just gotta get me a new deck, then im gonna go thrash it up this summer :)

Re:Does anybody here skate??
 

this is like talking about anuses i\on guys

Re:Does anybody here skate??
 

hah, thrash? when did you stop skating '93? ;D

anyway i mostly skated street then for the last 3 years mostly vert-= yeah i was pretty hard core for awhile. the second concussion was the best cause i was wearing a helmet down at the san diego rob field skate park and i was flying toward this one tranny and a kid fell down and his board shot in front of me, i flew headfirst into the concrete tranny and it broke my helmet clean in half, i don't remember too much from most of that day though :D

Re:Does anybody here skate??
 

damn where do you live? i thought we got alot of snow :-X

Re:Does anybody here skate??
 

I kind of quit skating back when boards were still wider than 6 inches... I started to hate street skating and wanted to ride more ramps, but there was really nothing around at the time.

There's a couple of free public parks around town that I went to a few times last year (big freakin' bowls by the way--first time ever) and felt really weird that I was 30 years old and riding a skateboard... ;)

May try it again this year with some frequency but my knees are fried from riding so much when I was younger. :-\
