how long have you been skateboarding

thatoneskaterkid

i have been skateboarding for 10 years now

Cky47

Ummm... not too long 2-3 years maybe. I dont really ride anymore since they closed my favorite skateboard park. I got into riding in hopes of improving my snowboard skills, and I guess it helped.

i hate winter right before winter i learn something new then it snows and it takes me a month to relearn it

Cky47

Lmao... you gotta do it right. First day of snowbaording this year I went off a little bank and tried backflipping. It was like my 3rd run lol.

thatoneskaterkid

o man it was my first year snowboard in 3 years wow it want the best but it was fun

Cky47

Lmao I am not the best, but i am never the one who is afraid to try shit.

thatoneskaterkid

i almost knocked my self out going over a little 10 foot gap i got about 8 feet high and over shot the landing by about 5 feet

Cky47

Lmao I was in the kddie park overshooting the landings like twice what they were lol. I felt like such a hard ass lol.

thatoneskaterkid

lol yea thats always fun when u dont fall than u feel like an ass if u fall

Cky47

I actually really never fall dont regular stuff. I may skim my ass and stand back up, but thats cause I absorbed the landing too much.

thatoneskaterkid

i fall sometimes on really stupid stuff just for fun like on the little rails

Cky47

Oh god I took some real hard falls on rails this year. Thats why I am buying padding next year and possibly bringing a helmet. I will look dumb, but better safe then sorry. I got knocked out like 3 times now from hitting my head landing a jump.

thatoneskaterkid

i feel to safe when i wear a helmet and start trying stuff i shouldnt

Cky47

I have a skatebaord helmet, and i am going to use it if my hat fits under it. The ony thing that sucks is when you dont wanna use it.

thatoneskaterkid

i never use a helmet when i skateboard

Cky47

You would if you were doing 360 indies off a vert pipe.

thatoneskaterkid

when im learning i might l have done kickflip to indy without a helmet even when i was learning them but u never know i just might

I've skated since 85 so if you do the math thats 21 years. I've boarded not nearly as long as that.

Cky47

YOu remind me of a guy I know named "Sloth". He always hangs around at the local skateparks and he is like 45 of something. The guy is amazing at skateboarding and I have never seen anyone better, and he even snowbaords just as well. The guy is super cool too.He gave me a free deck just mecasue he saw mine was pretty old and beat up.

copsandprepssuck

I'm gonna get back on topic and answer the question. I've been skating for a year and a half.

Nah names not sloth. I have given away tons of skate stuff to the little groms over the years that didn't have the cash for things though. Even built them a free public park that the town destroyed a year after I moved away because no one would keep it up.
