    10-4 Chris, doing good. Put the reef in the closet for a while and have a planted fresh right now.


    As for falling and injuries, not saying that I never have, but it's not very often that I come off my feet. Seeing me fall is like seeing a cat land upside down. I mean that in a general sense,I'm catlike on my feet. As soon as I get someone to take some shots, I'll post some here.

    I blew a skateboarding career and have been blessed with alot of experiences including growing up down the street from Danny and Damon Way. A lot of pros came out of Vista, CA.....

    is that a hard hat I see on the ground next to it? :builder2:


    kul dude.

    We've talked about it before - I sk8 back in HS but here recently we got a new park with a metal halfpipe and some other bumps. I took my old board out (after I spent an evening getting my balance back - which I was terrible at) and had a go on it. Dude, my wheels barely turn and are ground low and uneven... I might need to replace the whole thing... deck too while i'm at it. But I'm gettin back into it.

    I tried long boards a few years ago but just too flat around here to really get into it.

    I have, however, got into those rip stix. Amazing core work that. I can't seem to get it in the air though :-/ very heavy board.

    Love that ramp. My town built a park at the end of last year and have been skating off and on since I was 13, now 35. I am terrible at it but love it still. Looking to buy a new house next spring and my two major requirements are a yard big enough to build a 3-4 foot halfpipe like yours and a basement with an open area to build a 400 gallon reef with a fish room! Keep Skatin!

    sounds like the beginnings of a small amusement park!

    Used to skate a lot in high school, now I'm 25 but I still bust out the skateboard every once and a while and do some kick flips, heel flips, fake 360 kick flips, in front of my house. I stopped for 4 years and then bought a new deck one day and can still do all my ground tricks. I don't think I could kickflip a 5 stair like I used to, but I definately want to ride a half pipe again, I havent done that in 8 years. But once you skate as much as I did, I'm sure I'll never forget how to.
