Skateboardings one of my favorite sports for a looooooooooooooong time. Favorite skater has to be Rodney Mullen. He's just insane and innovative. Kinda like the C. Ronaldo of skateboarding, even though he's like twice as old  Anyways, here's a vid of him and if anyone else likes skateboarding, snowboarding or other quote unquote "extreme sports" post them here with any vids you think are worth mentioning. I'll get it started with a Mullen video.  |

Well I used to luge (not sure about spelling) down steep hills on my skateboard. My friends and I would race. A lot of beat up backsides after that. I still do some really stupid stuff. I guess that's part of being young |

It got really dear for me, because i got up to a level where i just broke decks every week. it was just my need to try big stuff lol. i dont know why, if i said i was going out to just have a session, i'd end up kickflipping an eight set  lol. |

HAHA, I've broken about 5 decks. The biggest gap I've ever done is probably about the size of a 15 set. It was rediculous. I tried to big flip it and that didn't work. So I settled for a varial heelflip instead.  |

Very nice, i was never really good at sets, i did a fair bit because my mate didnt like our local park, because i agree it is wank! but, i ended up just being a street/mini ramp skater lol so after a bit i got used to sets and began to like them, but i couldn't get any better due to deck snappage lol. i'd still be skating today if i had the cash. |

Yeah mate, skating is a bit expensive when you break decks. One of my friends kept skating after I quit and he's good enough now to get sponsered. He would already be sponsered if he wasn't so involved with drugs Stupid stuff all of it in my opinion. |
