I used to know a guy who was into that dirt biking thing, Motocross I believe it's called. He had sponsers, free bikes, free gear, all of it. He then threw it all away for hard drugs, and now he lives in a small trailer in a park in a two-bit redneck town in Alberta...no bikes anymore, nothing. He just stays up all night playing x-box and smoking m***

So sad.

I used to a skater myself. I still love to go down to the park and watch people skate, but I quit a good 7yrs ago. I snapped my ankle by rolling it and ever since then I hadn't been able to skate, so one day I said fuck it. I don't really miss the skating part, but i miss hanging out with my friends all day where we did nothing but skating. It was our life, and I still have a homemade DC tattoo on my leg. It looks like shit, but it will always give me that memory of those glory days, where you were so sure that's what you'd do for the rest of your life.
