Wanted to share the video part that made me want to get back into it:

Falling is falling. Gymnasts, pro wrestlers, stuntmen, judokas, dancers, they all learn the same basic breakfalls and rolls. There's no magic trick that makes you immune to injury but any sport that has falling will teach you some simple principles that will help you.

I havent fallen down in over 20 years. I ache at the thought of it.

I got into skating back in 1985 at the tender young age of 6 just after seeing Back to the Future.

I got out of skating about a week later when my brother tore up his arm going down a neighbors hilly driveway and my mom threw away the boards.

Man if I had stuck with it at that young age I could been the next Bam Magera…

Tore my ACL several years ago but I still like cruising. I ride my bike more often though. Board is a Vision Psycho Stick reissue and the bike is a 95 GT Mach One.

Got those same wheels but in orange so smooth

@smokey Nice, can't go wrong with OJ III's. I used to run Santa Cruz Slimeballs on an older build, but I found them too slippery.

Elbows and kneed are scarred up for life, done with it. Can't recall the last deck I had but for some reason remember the wheels (spitfires). Anyways gave it away to a pair of young brothers who were learning on a real POS deck across the street before I moved outta that place and never skated since.

One of my fav iconic vids
