I snowboarded too. Still got my board. Funny thing since moving to the mountains I've only gone one time in 7 years now.

Same here, I grew up land locked but in the Rockies. No surfing but skated till my father in law conveniently lost my skate when I shacked up with my ex when I was about 20. That and an etched glass hookah....
I ended up knocking her up and that pretty much ended my skating. I continued to snowboard until I bought a new board and all new gear after I had gone back to college, haven't been since '06.....
That's a goal for this year, get back up on the slopes. I promised my cousin, we both come from the powder and live in the desert now.

Where in CO? That is where I skated professionally in the late '70s.

I'm from a tiny town in southern Colorado called Cortez, but we stomped Boulder, Denver, Colorado Springs, and Ft. Collins pretty regular. My stepbrother was in Woodland Park and my cousins were up in Silverthorn. We had a cabin up in Pagosa so I spent a lot of time on Wolf Creek personally. I skated with Joe Johnson and Jeff Grosso up in Ft. Collins and I smoked out and skated with Tony Alva in Farmington, New Mexico. Those were my only pro skater encounters though.

I can't skate but I did stay at a holiday inn express last night

bwahahahahah

To be fair I can't skate anymore either, pretty sure I'd bust my ass anymore.

Tried bombing the hill bu my house a couple of months ago, and crashed into a tree, lol.

haha i still skate when its possible. 3-5 months outta the year outdoors cause our weather is SHITTY but my friends got a little set up in his basement so we can skate all year round.

i do alot of recording for my friends who are alot better than me. a few even moved out to CA to do some real shit. wish i coulda gone with them then id be closer to the whole gang!

I skated for Becker Surf and Sport as an Amateur street skater but would enter mini ramp comps too. Best friend had a 6' ramp in his back yard so we'd skate it everyday as well as the high school or the mall because there weren't many skateparks around back then. Mike McGills in Carlsbad was the closest and we'd hit that up whenever he could convince his mom to take us.

I went to McGills park a few times. We dropped in the big halfpipe on our kneepads. That thing was so tall. I like the mini ramps and the snake run. Good times... I had forgotten about that place.

Yeah that place was like the hioly grail for us. The only other park that I knew of that was fairly local was huntnigton beach and I didn't like that place very much.

Now I've got three withing 20 min of side street driving but can't really skate anymore. I can cruise around the park and stuff but don't do any tricks anymore. Even that I don't do very often

I had a friend with a ramp too. I didnt own a skateboard. Where I lived we didnt have any asphalt. I got on that ramp one time, didnt even try to drop in. Just stood up on the board with it sitting in the middle. It flew out from under me when I went to move and that was the last time I ever tried to skate! It wasn't like I was a retard cuz I used to race motocross, but just not my sport!

I didn't know you raced MX. I used to race district 37 desert and Grand Prix and got to do a SCORE event once.

I wasn't pro or anything. I used to race Corona when I was a kid on a CR125 till they closed. I did happen to know a lot of pros, being that I lived in the center of the motocross universe I went to HS with Jeremy McGrath and I know all the guys from Metal Mulisha from when I worked in the tattoo shop most of them got worked on. Mike Metzger worked there for awhile as well and did a few tattoos on me while he was healing from injuries

My dad raced pro in the late 60's early 70's. He raced a few different bikes, CZ is the one I recall the most. He raced with the likes of John Desoto. He retired in his early 30's, he said one of the factors that helped decide it was time was when he got passed during practice by a little boy named Jeff Ward on a mini cycle.

That's really cool shit. I wasn't pro or anything either. D37 is an amateur organization and is amateur racing. Expert level racers did race against pros at the nationals though. I had just got my expert bar when I gave it up but raced against some pro off road racers at a couple nationals. Those guys are pro for a reason, there's no way I could keep their pace for more than a few miles but they will just go that fast all the way to the finish line. It's crazy.

Most of the races I did were as an intermediate skill level (Ammateur or Ammie) so we'd leave the start line 15 minutes behind the expert and pro line. I would only get to see the top guys if I wasn't raciong, lol. It is really cool to see in person though and I still go watch desert races here and there with my brother. It's cool to see the excitement at the start line and then head to the pits to watch the fast guys come through and help your buddies pit as they come through. Then head to the finish line to watch the fast guys finish and wait for your buddies.

Hey fam newsflash the trying to make our hobby legalized in my state so..what will it take for me to grow legally? Any thing i need to know or look out for or what should i get started on doing and getting

Briefly tried skating. Realized I would injure myself severely if I continued to pursue it. Stopped skating.

Was next to a guy on the freeway today who popped a few wheelies on his sport bike. There were two guys and the one didn't know how to do them, at least at 60 mph. The other guy did a couple seated, then just as he pulled along side me he stood on his seat and popped it up again. It was cool to see. Never seen something like that close up. And safe driver that I am filmed it on my camera. I think the person behind me was pissed. I had him pinned next to a semi while I was watching. Oops.

Watched what I consider a chick movie tonight. 'The Bling Ring'. Yeah, not sure why I wanted to share, but I did. So there you go. I can't say I recommend it. At least in the 80's every movie had some boobs in them so at least there was 10 seconds of enjoyable film. lol

Nothing I can think of. Just find out how much you can do legally and do it as big as you can. Guys running commercial usually have some big ass plants.

This reminds me of how I am now. I don't know when it happened, but I'm scared to do so many things I never even winked at when I was younger. I can get scared of heights at around 15', when as a teenager we would go rock climbing on some tall cliffs with no ropes.

You made me laugh.
