I'm 46
Male
Learned to skate vert at Skate City. I never dreamed I would skate vert at 12. I could not even go down a 30 degree incline without eating it. My lesson was tighten your trucks and follow me. Did a few runs in the capsules and that was it. I learned to skate vert.
Did a few sessions at Hickam Hangar (which is a great keyhole), some night sessions at Skatelab.
As much as I love skating big ditches, curbs, bowls and ramps. Seen too many broken elbows to pick up a board again.
Not a fan of the big pants and small wheels era. Skating fast, lines, flow, knowing how to push is the best part of skating.
Favorite Skaters: Flip Team, Tommy G, Alva, Cab, Jaws, Gravette, Ishod, Raybourn and Evan Smith.
Watching Luan Oliveira win Street League in LA on a Oscar Niemeyer inspired course gets me excited about the future of skateboarding.
