I skateboarded one time, I fell and I was out for 45 minutes haha.. I'm never touching a skateboard again.

This is my son's world everyday. Got him a new (and expensive I might add) skateboard for his birthday earlier this month and I think he sleeps with the damn thing. He also used all his birthday money already to buy another deck ($50 for a painted slab of wood?).

When asked why he blew his money on it since he just got a new skateboard, he replied, "Well, you didn't really need that guitar you're buying parts for and building, did ya?"

Damn, I may have to roll down the sidewalk in front of my house in honor. I got a wild hair to start skating again about 5 years ago, bought a nice new-skool setup, but with some bigger softer wheels. I think I've ridden it about 8 times. I hate being reminded I'm not 15 anymore.

Oh MAN... I had the most fun I´ve had in years... I was slamming all over the place, only actually landed about half of what I tried of that.... the shower I just took was the most painful in years [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

But were Grilling, and Drinking, and Smoking, and just having an absolute blast.. It only got dark about an hour ago, that´s when we made our ways.

What was really cool: I´ve never been part of the Freiburger Boarder community (Actually, I was pretty sure there wasn´t one!).... But, very similar to you guys, they took me in as if I had always been there... met a few really coool people today.

On a "Did I have Fun today" Scale: Best day of 2005 so far, and will be very hard to beat [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Oh, and one tip for ALL of you that are considering quitting or have done so already "temporarily": If you think that you may EVER feel the urge to skate agin, then just plain don´t quit, but merely cut back a bit.....

I´ve made this mistake twice now, a should I ever quit again it´s because I physically can´t..... The loss of strength and precision /coordination in the legs is amazing....It´s not even easy to go over 3 boards or get speed up for a nice air anymore, even though just 2 years ago you were still popping 7 decks and flying 3m high out of launch ramps at 25 mph [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
