This goes against this forum, but I'm stoked that I can't really skate anymore. I quit 6 months ago but tried skating around my garage for the first time yesterday. I missed every trick I tried, my timing was all off, nothing worked. But that's fine. I don't have to worry anymore about wasting whatever abilities that I had with it. I spent 13 years skating and now I can move on to do something else. I'm happy.
