Sk8boarding

i think its hot if you know how to skate

Ive been skateing off an on for about 4 yrs.
was out for a good half yr when I shattered my elbow.
other then that no other injuries.
been recently on a skatebreak due to fines and upcoming jail time.
But I wont quit its in my blood. Its always there when I wanna go back to it.

I have been skating for..hummmm 21 years or so....

I got my first job in a skate shop in Boulder Colorado back in 85.. is stole my moms car at 15 to go tho the interview.

I lived to skate all day every day, then i was all about snowboarding and skating.

I have worked in the snowsports industry as a rep, buyer, manager, sales person for many many years.... you could say it was my life. Then I got married and have kids and my family is my life.

My worst accident on a skate board.....
we used to do these things where you would skate up to a wall and press into a hand stand with your board going up the wall.
I would put the deck on one foot in a hand stand and and spin it like a top on my foot.
Well one day the deck came down of my foot and and landed on my Pinky finger. It broke it so bad that when i stood up my finger was pointing at me. I had to spend the night in the hospital from a broken pinkey....

Worst injury snowboarding.... I broke my sismoid in my foot, a little bone under the ball of your foot. We were tripping, and hucking off cliffs. I notice my foot hurt but didnt go tothe doctor...till when i kept lifting my toe and it would break again and again.....

So i went under the knife...he used local anastetic (sp) so while i was laying there he said " ok wiggle your toes" i looked up and he was holding my foot open, and i saw all my stuff move inside my foot. I have the bone still in a jar in storage. <<< that is a snowboarding sovinier. Bone out of foot hahahah, most people just get the t shirt.

I skated for 4 years and was riden for Skate Shack, then I went to Boarddogs. I was like 13 and hittin 7-8 rails, I was reallllly good with flat rails too, best trick was a nollie front feebs, nigga its the bomb.

i used to skate for 3 or 4 years but have taken a long long break recently its bin a year but i know i am going to get back on the board sooner or later. as for skating high i cant do that for shit . my body tends to get more wholey aquanted with the floor and that isnt somethin i enjoy doin more than i need to.

There's alot to be said about sk8ing in America but where the Hell are the british sk8 crew ????? its good in england and scotland for sk8in' becuase the cops here are pussy's i have been challenged a few time's by cops but they can't out run a sk8er on a board fkin idiots havent caught on to the fact that wheels go faster never been done with anything related to sk8in either.

SK8ING FOR THE OLIMPICS

I don't skateboard, I rollerblade and have been for almost 10 years now. I actually have a tat in reference to "rolling" on my right tricep. And let the flaming begin.:thumbsup:

I love skating and smoking. My friends and I would always go skate a good session and then usually pass a nice blunt on the way home.

Now, I toke before, during and after. It took some time at first to get used to skating high but once I got over it, I started killing shit. When I smoke, I can actually get almost a tunnel vision on a trick, handrail gap whatever that I want to try and the possibility of anything but luck leaves my mind.

Ive been skateing nearly a year now.. realy got into it harcore the last few months.. Just figured out how to grind..(man i suck!) although i am getting less time to skate.. at the moment im balancing school, guitar lessons, homework, work and looking after my plants so by the weekend im dieing to have a good thrash.. peace

im about to re- join the "british crew" first time i will have even been on a bord for like 2 or three months. wish me look hope my skills aint gone.. lol

i used to film/edit skate videos with my friends when i was in 8th/9th grade. then i started smoking pot, and spent my camera funds on bud. anyways, heres an old link to a video i made.http://fivetoonecrew.tripod.com/site...s/testdemo.wmv

see the mexican kid who mainly skates in that red shirt with the fro. that kid could go am now. this was filmed 3 years ago or so.

i still longboard though. ive got a sector 9 (not sure of the model) but its like 46 inches (idk the exact measures)

i remember once i was going about 35-40+ down this bridgehttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...d/image002.jpg and i busted ass. i started getting speed wabbles in my nose towards the end, and at the last 20 yards of the bridge or so, there is this sand patch/crack/drainage thing. i hit that shit and flew forward several feet then skidded on my whole right side of my body. it sucked. i had road burn on my whole right side of my body down to about my knee and tore open my hip to where you could see my fat practically. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...d/7701aa7b.jpg

this was well over a year ago and ive still got scars.
