For anyone who has ever sk8ed before...

...And also, for those who haven't, this here is a great little piece about skateboarding (gotta wait a sec for the audio to kick in). Especially Danny Way's section. Holy cow turds Danny! What in the hell are you thinking? The segment really got me because I grew up skating, and man was it awesome. There was a whole crew of kids that would meet up after school and go tear ass through the neighborhood, popping tricks off of random curb-cuts and bumps, grinding ledges, building jump ramps out of wooden pallets in back of Spiros Pizza, playing S.K.A.T.E. (skateboarder's version of horse), and just having a blast in general. Those were the days. I miss it, that's why I recently started up again. Hadn't skated really for three, four years and but wouldn't you know it, my muscle memory kicked in this week and I actually threw down a good line. Nothing like the rippers on Embarcadero of course, but decent enough for me. Line went like this: frontside 180, switch pop shuvit, half cab heelflip, heelflip, shuvit. Not the cleanest landings ever, but still, I rolled away. What a sweet feeling it is. Landing a simple pop shuvit in the sun shine on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Ahh. Yeah.
