I love skateboarding. I do it every chance I get. I have to admit my time is limited now that I am getting older and work is consuming my time. I used to skate street when I could but driving to spots or parks takes even more time so I built a mini in the backyard this summer. I owned a skateboard/snowboard shop in college so I was able to be involved one way or the other day in and day out. Those were the days!
I am glad to see there are others out there still ripping it up.

I did in High School, then tought my little brother, then he won his way into the Amatuer competition at Gravity Games two years in a row (all expenses paid) I went with him the first year.

I still get on a board do a little flat ground when ever I get my hands on a board. Going on 32 this month, my knee is finally getting better since I totalled the 1Gen.

I think my knee is as good as it's going to get. It gets tight if I bend it too much. It's been almost two years since it was slammed into my 1Gen's Dash at 60mph.

How do your ankles feel on a board? Alteast I could limp around with my knee messed up, ankles, not sure.

Cody32 · 10-10-2009, 02:56 AM

theyre great now, i mean the right one gets sore if i bend it a certain way. i wasnt able to skate for 3 months, then it took 6 months after that to get comfortable. they werent completely broken, just fractured. i didnt leave my house for like a month. i gained like 30 pounds.. it sucked

shutupitskid · 10-11-2009, 12:02 AM

I used to skate a lot but then i stopped because I kept spraining my ankle.
My setup was: enjoi deck, venture trucks, bones swiss bearings, darkstar wheels, and mob grip.

Cody32 · 10-11-2009, 12:59 AM

i try to skate as much as possible, but it gets boring in this town cuz there is only 1 skatepark and no street spots.. at all. but i guess its not all bad cuz i break boards a lot and i dont have very much money right now, in fact, i broke one this weekend and it was still new >.>. ill never see that 50 bucks again

ive been skateboarding for 9 years(half of my life). i couldve learned something productive lol

icewater619 · 11-06-2009, 12:57 PM

i keep my board in my car just in case... but usually just to use it for transportation if i have to park really far.
