Does anyone here skateboard?

[Ben Power]

I know... its hopeless. Im the only skateboarder here. But i figured i would give it a try. well if you dont have you ever tried? I would love to hear about it, even if you fell on your butt.

I used to skate. I had a Rune Glifberg Purple Haze Flip deck with the matching wheels, green Lucky hardware and griptape, and black Independent trucks.

I think I landed a 360 flip once. That was the pinnacle of my skating "career." I got that skateboard and then was so proud of it that I didn't want to scratch it up so I stuck with the K2's I had at the time.

I do sometimes, but I'm not terrific at it.

My son skates and he's fantastic. Does that count?

He skates for Buckeye Boards and Satellite 13

Never have properly, had a go on one. Well we own one - somewhere deep in the shed it'll be in a pile I'm sure. I didn't really like it, not my sort of thing. - Too sporty.
xDD

Haha, I have a feeling I'd be absolutely terrible, no I don't.

My brother skates for a passion. He loves the sport. He is actually good at skating. I in the otherhand dont do good with the board. When I am on the board I feel like i am going to fall off and land on my butt really hard. The first time i rode on a skateboard i did this trick which i didn't know what it was called( an ollie.) and my brother and his friends were all impressed.

I've started learning how to longboard at university.

I love skateboarding. I have a blind deck. I've been skating for about 6 or 7 years now, and over time I've gotten good. I can do kickflips, heelflips, 360 shov-it, pretty much all grinds and I'm working the impossible.
