Growing up both of my brothers skated, but it wasn't until one fateful day in 1984 that my life was changed. I saw these punk rock kids hanging out skating and walked over to talk to them. My 12 yr old self was amazed at what they were doing. I begged my mom to get me a skateboard. My oldest brother hooked me up with a used cheap board he got from a friend. Rode it everyday and when my brother saw how much I loved it he got me a good skateboard for christmas

I can relate. Skated for about 25 yrs then took some time off (about 6 maybe 7 yrs ).. Having to relearn alot of stuff, but having fun
