Ah, a skate thread. I never knew this was here. Haven't skated in a long, long time. Last time I did it was after a two year break. I could still pull off most of the old tricks I used to do, but no way near as big as before. I guess I lost my 'pop'! I used to skate with quite a few well known skaters, and that's when I realised that I didn't really have what it took to be as good as them. Still, it was fun as hell and I'd love to skate again. Unfortunately, I've got nobody to skate with, and that was 90% of the enjoyment for me.
You hardcore skaters will probably say 'you suck', when I say that I did buy some Heelys last year and they are kind of cool. Not to watch, but to do.
And my favourite skater? Well, from back in the day I'd say Tom Penny or more recently Stevie Williams. I was never a fan of vert.
