sooo, do you? and how old are you? just curious really

i do, nothing near pro but ive got some nice and very consistant tricks and great balance after 7 years of on off skating. i do it at least one a week at 25 with a child on the way no where what i used to but man is it still fun

i hit a nearby outdoor free cement bowl frequently carving it is amazing when youre practically sideways!

so who else does?
for how long?

I skated for years. I'm too old and out of shape now. I don't like broken collar bones much either. I don't heal like I did when i was 19.

Most skating injuries come from doing stupid shit on things that weren't built to skate!!

I did once, back in my youth. Then I started smoking weed, and got too lazy to the extent where I wasn't daring enough, lol. I was content with my bike.
Props to you guys though, watching skaters while high is real trippy. Doing mad flips n shit, always put on a nice show for me.

I used to skate. I've been trying to get back in shape so I can pick it up again. I pulled off a heelflip yesterday. Took me like 4 tries though.

Cool dude..Im 18, i have been skating for 4 years...i try to skate as often as i can but there are no good conditions to skate street in this time of the year..i do some kickflips, heelflips, fs/bs shovits, some rail shit and thats pretty much all....

I also snow-skate in winter..but i dont have a real snow-skate, just a regular deck...You should see my back yard in the winter..i always construct a backyard park, and this shit is gnarly as hell...

I was sponsered by utility boardshop for like 5 yrs 15-20 shattered my ankle doing a bs overcrook and pretty much chilled after that. It took me 6mths to walk again. Now I just fuck off on a mini ramp 4ft with a 6 ft extension
