I'm 35 years of age. (though I don't look it, cause skateboarding is the true fountain of youth.) I started skating when I was 14. Off again on again relationship with skating over 20 years. I've been skating consistently the last 8 years. My son who is 5 now, is a skateboarder. When he was 1 and a half he put a book on the ground and put his right foot on it, and scooted across the floor after watching a video. Right leg first, Yes! Goofy footed like me. Kids go through a lot of phases growing up, skateboarding is the 1 thing hes kept interest in. Meaning Ill be skating for many more years to come. I'm in college taking a video game design program, which means I use computers way to much. Which explains why I get more headaches than the average person. Curse you PC and laptop monitors! I love taking pictures and video of everything, document your life! Got a few tattoos, working on a sleeve. As all my friends say: funny you have no skateboarding tattoos. I'm trying to find or design that "right graphic" that sums up skating for me. Two prospects are the second Tommy Guerrero Powell graphic, dagger with the flames. (remember bonenite?) Or Neil Blenders, coffee break graphic. Ill let ya know. I also want to say that, skateboarding has made me into the person I am today. Its opened my eyes up to people, places, and things I wouldn't have experienced other wise. Especially friends that I've known over 20 years, because of skateboarding. Ill fill this out more as time goes on.
