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.
