I started skating in he 8th grade, so It's been 4 1/2 years. I took a break for a little while to focus on music, and because I moved away from all my friends and I didn't know anybody here when I first got here. But I'm starting again. It's a great way to relieve stress, and it's a great sport. Takes a lot of skill.

awh...i'm terrible at it....caught quite a few nasty falls and gave up.
almost broke my ass (well...at least as much as you CAN break an ass, in th first place )
so ur saying u got sponsored at what 16? and quit... and if u were sponsered how were you on the verge of going semi-pro thats how u go pro you get sponsered and compete
Just because you are sponsored doesn't mean you are pro. It is very common to have sponsors that don't necessarily pay you, but they give you merchandise. To become pro you actually have to declare that you are pro. It's actualy a legal term.

you can't classify skaters with punkers and goths....they are totally different kinds of people.
And regarding the "groms"...i think there is a 13 year old kid that's actually pro. He kicks ass and gets wicked scores partially because he pulls technical tricks, and also because he's got killer balance on rails and coping.
skateboarding is a terrible sport. skateboarding is 4 dumbasses who can seriously get hurt. i'll just laugh when tony hawk tries 2 do a stunt and then falls and breaks his neck(not really) but I'll laugh if he breaks his arms or his legs
