Skateboarders/Surfers???

Welcome to Hell is a classic, I was a Toy Machine/Zero kid.. Still am so my favorite vids were Misled Youth, Jump off a Building. Birdhouse - The End was also epic. Heath Kirchart, Jamie Thomas and Ed Templeton Hahaha those were the good old days!

I think my classic skate video votes have to go to emerica- this is skateboarding and black label- label kills. And alien workshop- photosynthesis for the art appreciating weirdo in me. Haha.

BMX
Skate
Surf
Open Water Swim
I'm a lifeguard manager in north east England...i'm in the water most days

Plus we have already developed the patience it takes to spend years of hard work trying to get halfway decent at something we are passionate about. Haha

Dude this makes so much sense! I totally agree.

I skate and surf all the time. Sean and I actually came up together doing both. It will always be a great release form my hectic acting career. Just like the Jitz.

I used to skate. Started with my older brother when I was about 5. skated about ten years or so and then found guitar and jiu jitsu and then skateboarding was gone. Now guitar is pretty much gone too, just jiu jitsu these days

I love skating and Im right at 40 years old, My 9 year old has had physical challenges since he was born, I started trying to teach him to skate at 6. It took a while but at 9 he's become a good little skater, proving to his neurologist, that he wasn't going to stay down because they said he would never be athletic. He's turning out to be a great little grappler as well, determination to skate is what fixed his balance and confidence issues, even better than his peers. So skateboarding to me is truly awesome.

Thanks man, I will say that my skateboarding is back to the basics for the most part though. I have turned it down a lot because I am too scared to get hurt and not be able to train or work. That is until the 14 year olds show up and make me feel like a chump anyway. haha

Any BMX'ers?

I've been on that skatin stick since I was a baby. Love that shit.
