I skate just got back into it also, about two months ago, i had stoped after I rolled my ankle bad off the sylmar high 9 stair about a year ago. It feels good to skate again!
like everyone has said I would skate faster, and work on your kickflips, they look kind of MOB flick up and out, not down and to the side

i started skateboarding in the early - mid 90's, then i gave it up when i hit high school. i picked it back up in college and have been skating off and on ever since.
i'm 29 now and i don't have much time to skate anymore because of work. surprisingly, i get a ton of encouragement from my wife to keep skating (God i love her!) and she even shelled out for a DLSR camera to get some pics of me skating. i think the camera is more for when we have a baby but for the mean time she takes pics of me just messin around on my skate. set-up: Chocolate Kenny Anderson deck 7.75 fury SS trucks shop bearings darkstar wheels shop hardware shop griptape |

my favorite trick other than my fakie ollie/switch smith/switch180 out is my fakie frontside bigspin. I cant do it off of anything, but its fun on flatground...
also, I cannot skate rails, but I LOVE funboxes with square rails on the sides. another weird thing about me....i can only manual switch, i cruise/push off switch (goofy) but i ollie regular. I'm all messed up. oh and i do switch boneless tail stalls on small quarter pipes. I'm weird.

I had been skating since I was 10.
Stopped at 18 when I noticed how fucked my ankles were when I was at work trying to lift things. Set up: Flip 7.5 deck Independent Stage 9 trucks(light) Swiss ceramic bearings 52mm Spitfires Black Magic grip tape Independent allen bolts I would start skating again, but with car builds, girlfriend, and work, I don't really have the time. |

You know what I never got...
Why did it become "ok" to push mongo when you skate switch? what the hell was that about. When I would skate switch, I would push the correct way.

I used to skate A LOT back in highschool.... I used to know practically all the Long Beach skaters.
after I got into cars, I kind of fell off (basically right after I left highschool). I'm always thinking about getting back into it... if anyones down to hit up some ledges, I'm down. But damn, its been a long time...

one thing that sucks about skating now too is that being 24, I have bills to pay and I work with my hands, so I cant afford to fuck myself up too badly.
Ah well. hopefully i can shred this weekend.

I was never good at skating, then I dislocated my knee and that was it for me. I just stick to filming it now haha. Oh, and on that video that the first dude posted...Whoever is filming it needs to be closer. You can't have a fisheye and stay 10 feet back. 1. it makes the footage look SLOOOOOOW and 2. it makes it very hard to see whats going on because everything is too distorted at that distance. Fisheyes are made to be able to shoot in tight spaces, I.E. close to the subject.

Fuck Skating
I broke my elbow, then I broke my knee, then a few sprains. Then one day I got hit by a little honda civic going like 40. Snapped my arm in half and got a fat concussion. Gave up on skating for about 3 years. The next time I get on a board like a year ago I was filming while rolling, I set the camera down for a water break and was just fucking around on the board. Fell and got a hairline fracture in the funny bone deal on my elbow. Tall people shouldn't skate.
