I skated for a good while in my youger days. Once I got older and had to work, the skating kinda took a back seat because if I got hurt, I would not be able to work and make my car and bill payments. I got pretty good, I could do every variation of the heelflip. I could never get a regular stance kickflip down, but I could do nollie kick flips, go figure. I liked steps and curbs, mostly street skating. We did have a small mini half pipe that was probably 3 feet tall. It was fun, you did not have to worry about killing yourself like on a huge vert ramp. I always did like Eric Koston, John Drake, and Corey from the movie Thrashin'(hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahah)
