Been skating for about 12 years now.. started as a little boy riding to school and got my ass sponsored when I moved to cali. I was 16 then, and full of energy. I didn't smoke much when I first moved here so I skated all the fucking time, thus increasing my skills quite a bit. I then re-started smoking everyday and I basically completely stopped now. I feel like it's fucking up my knees, legs, and back.. and I usually am too stoned to have the motivation to find new sick spots unfrequented by fucking pigs.

When I do have the motivation to skate high though.. man it gets intense. My mind/body connection is so much stronger than usual it's almost scary at times. I'll pop a ollie and halfway in the air I'll have time to think what trick to do at this point, quite a feeling! It's like I improvise in what way to kick the board while in midair!

Keep on skatin' !
