what board do you have what tricks can you do?

Let's see, I had a Rob Roscopp 4, a John Lucero, and several others. I used to skate mostly launch ramps, quarter pipes, some half pipes where I could do rail slides, truck grinds, but I don't really skate anymore. I mountainbike though. erm

I can snowboard like a madman!

I've never been big on sports, but I am actually a good downhill skater. Speed isn't an issue, you just have to watch out for any rocks or pebbles on the road, or else you will go flying off your board.

You would probably be a good snowboarder! You should try it if you haven't, I bet you'd dig it. wink

You'd think, but it's not true. Since both your feet are locked into position on a singular plank, your board basically just tumbles with you during bails. I'd say 85 percent of the time I bail, I simply roll out of it and keep on going without losing much momentum.

Skiing on the other hand is way crazier on the ankles since your legs can to the splits and bend different ways. I broke my leg the first time I ever went skiing. It was also the last time I ever went skiing. wink

Psst.......... it is spelt skaters not sk8ters..... and if you have to spell it with the number eight sk8ers makes more sense...
