Who is down... I saw Sam Sales and Sean Applegate talking skateboarding who else has spent a lot of time on the board?
I have surfed occasionally for the last 10 years and skateboarded since about 92'.
I tore my meniscus trying a roof/grass gap in 2000 and since then i have taken it pretty easy sticking mostly to ledges and bowls.
I'v seen Marcelo, Glover and The Grill with skateboards and i think that Rob Bradley Surfs?

I love skating. I love the freedom of it, it's something you progress at your own pace, no rules etc. I have a blast skating with my boys.
My favourite skate video is the girl and chocolate one, Pretty sweet. That was a masterpiece.
Love watching guys like David Gonzales skate. He skates fast and aggressive and always on gnarly shit too. :)
I skate and surf. I have been doing both since I was about 12. Love it
I skateboarded since like 5th or 6th grade so 10 or 11. My city didn't really do anything about giving any type of reasonable skating area not to mention city is very flat so focused on flatland stuff, homemade boxes/rails and smaller stairs and gaps and then migrated to doing stuff down larger stairs and handrails or putting obstacles such as picknick tables across gaps and stairs. Kept getting arrested and kicked out of spots any time a good session would break out but I got a good bit of skating in until about 16 or 17 when i focused on other sports. Picked it back up occasionally until i really found Jiu Jitsu. I have surfed but definitely wouldn't say I'm good, mainly due to lack of experience and availability. Think if I lived somewhere where it was something I could do daily, I certainly would. SNOWBOARDING IS MY SHIT though. Use to go to Lake Tahoe about once a year with family in CA and with my skateboarding experience it just came naturally. After several days on the mountain, coming back to a shitty skateboarding town just couldn't compare. Few things in life compare to dropping in on a double black diamond with fresh powder and just killing it.
Sounds awesome. I am dying to try snowboarding. Might take a trip later this year. :)Quote:

Edit: I grew up about a ten minute drive from one of the best resorts in the world and skiied every weekend and after school. Then when I turned about 20, I decided fuck snow and stopped entirely.
I've snowboarded at Heavenly, Squaw Valley, Northstar and a couple more that I'm forgetting. Probably made around 10 multiple day trips to Tahoe in all so not a pro by any means but solid base from skateboarding and a set of balls can take you further than the average human with equal experience IMO. Haven't made it out the last couple times I went to CA though, spent my free time at Caio Terras instead :)
Favorite skate video growing up....probably FLIP-Sorry.
Wow, that was 12 years ago. Fuck......
I used to a lot when I was younger but I haven't in years, should really get back into it.
I started skiing when I was 3 years old, and switched to snowboarding since the 6th grade. Love it. Been all over the Adirondacks and Vermont.
I had flip sorry on vhs. It was a big yellow tape and I loved it. Good stuffsQuote:

I was a skateboarder for most of my life from 13y/o up into my late 20's. Mostly street, but I can play around a little in the halfpipe too.
Also used to snowboard a lot but I don't these days.
I am pretty good at wakeboarding, which is like snowboarding on the water. I do flips and spins and stuff. It was my passion for about 10 years. I quit everything for wakeboarding. (Everything but partying)
Now that I am in Jiu Jitsu I am giving up wakeboarding because I don't want to blow out a knee and not be able to roll.
But my real passion is surfing. I have ALWAYS wanted to surf. A couple things stopping me is my fear of sharks, and the costs involved, but I started surfing last summer on Lake Ontario believe it or not. That was fun. Just little breaks.

My fav Skate video was Welcome to Hell.
Snowboarding is a good excuse for bad skating. My favourite vid series is Whiskey 1 & 2. The adventures of Boozy the clown was fun times for sure.

In my relatively short time doing jiu jitsu I have met a lot of skaters. I think JJ appeals to all those years we spent with our friends, beating ourselves to death and still coming back hungry the next day. It also encourages the same type of creativity and development of individual style. 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
is surfing particularly expensive then in comparison to skating etc? Im genuinely interested as it is also something I would like to try.Quote:

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
Dude this makes so much sense! I totally agree.Quote:

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. hahaQuote:
