    I used to skate when I was younger, but not now. too big and akward on a board. my roomie steve almost went pro when he was younger, he taught his buddy to skate and he went pro.

    god i used to have wet dreams over woodward. Ill never forget the pics of that place in all the BMX plus mags. itwas like heaven lol. I rode bmx tried skating for a while never really got into it, i bought to big of a board it was awkward. i would do alot of flip tricks nothing rolling though...i sucked lol plus i HATED going down on my board and landing on my palms. i hated that more than anything. atleast when i went down on my bike it usually was on dirt trails and i didnt get that horrible rash on my palms. i'd love to be able to ride again i go home and see the trails growing and growing every time and i jus wish i was 16 again

    skated for a good twelve years of my life. got pretty damn good. miss it a lot. both ankles are shot from skating and the tendons are stretched so whenever i get back on a board i either break it or my ankle within thirty minutes.

    on the plus side, it gave me abs and calves that never go away!!

    i was good at it back in the day, but I was better at snowboarding. Then I gained a gazzillion lbs of muscle within 2 years, tried to get back on the boards and almost hurt myself pretty bad

    I skate boarded when I was 8. But I enjoyed roller blading more, so I got into that instead. Not very good at it anymore, but back in the day I was ok. Could never do tricks though.

    Damn right, the calves get awesome from skateboarding, I skated freestyle mostly.
