I actually picked up my board and started skating again two weeks ago. At 28 Ill let you know it hurts a hell of a lot more when you slam now, than it did when I skated 10 years ago.
Theres so many awesome parks out there now, too. I'm enjoying carving in the bowls and doing coping tricks alot more now than I used to. Anyways, Guy Mariano was the best. Everyone knows it.

Ahhh, skating. My first love haha. Been at it for a solid 12 years at this point, haha. I'm a pretty certifiable adult now, with a wife, kids and mortgage, but I still try and skate a couple times a week.
I generally buy shop boards, or get freebies from friends who are still good and still sponsored haha. I guess if I bought a pro board, it would be a kayo. All the old dudes are cool as fuck on that team, and would always hook me up as a little kid in sf. Trucks would be indys, haven't had anything else in 10 years. Wheels, whatever. Shoes, addidas buiznetz at the moment. At the "rumble in the suites" trade show, fkd gave me a box of bearings like 6 years ago. On my last set, haha. To all those dudes saying they haven't skated in years, give it another shot! Shit's fun... Go find a mini ramp, you can learn like 5 tricks a day in no time. My buddy started akating at 38, and he kills the mini and the bowl. I appologize for the rant, haha. |

I still skate or tryingto get back into it, not nearly as good as used to be but i can get down still.
I havent seriously skated since 2004-2005ish. Now that im out of it, it sure is crazy seeing friends and people you grew up with turning pro and getting signed on all these companies, getting paid to travel the world. Favorite companies?... too many and it changed as I grew up. always been down for chocolate/girl/any of the kayo corp stuff. When i was a kid i used to skate Shortys, Flip, or whatever i could get my hands on. Favorite shoes. circa cx201 super old. mark appleyard pro models es accel the basketball looking koston 3s ipath grasshoppers, cats. dc mantecas, avatars. Adidas superstars and Stan smiths. I eventually ended up skating mostly Nike Dunks and Blazers.. one of my friends was pro for nike so he gave me mad shoes, still skate nikes. Now I rock mostly PLAN B, GIRL CHOCOLATE, any of the Kayo corp stuff(DGK, ORGANIKA, Expedition etc) one of my friends turned pro for Expedition recently, so I like to support him. Matt Miller- youtube him, he rips! Thunder trucks Bones swiss and whatever wheels i find that come in 50mm and are hard as a motha. current Shoes DC true plaza Supra skytops Supra thunders Supra Vaiders Right im skating a pair of Ryan Gallant Circas and I really like them. Anything with good board feel and a nice sole, or Anything I get free and if not mostly anything i find a good deal on. favorite spots ever... Santa ana Skate park. Probably one of the best street parks around The flat bar I made at work Tewinkle middle school RIP the picnic bench down the 3 block. was in tons of videos. This shithole park called Murdy.

There's an old transworld Circa tour video in Europe I think, he was pretty sick in it too. I quit when skin tight jeans were becoming all the rage and it wasnt about too much fun all I kept on hearing was "hammer this" and "hammer that". What happened after? hipster douche bags? emo fags? has skateboarding gone full circle back to baggy pants yet? Whats currently "in"? Animal Chin is the greatest video ever btw. And no Im not old I just love it. Watching Richie Jackson on youtube made me love skateboarding again but by then I had already moved on to other things. |
