My profile photo, what a nonce i look in it. :p

Gray text on a gray background, what a genius idea. ;)

Here's me as I am right now. Sitting in stinky clothes from working out, about to shower and go get some pancakes. :)

EDIT: That camera angle makes my mustache hair look strikingly uneven. Hahah.

How long you been skating raum? I stopped a few years ago (2 years ago, and i'm only 16 now) and was thinking of picking my board back up. Only problem is your immediately a target if you've got a skateboard round here, that's why I had to stop before.

I'll edit this in a second with a pic of me, I've click quick reply instead of add reply *sighs*

I'm the one in the white hoody.

That's how it is here, every place in town has a no skateboarding sign. Been written up for it more times than I can count. I've written about this in my blog before, how it's annoying how oblivious people are to the beauty of skateboarding. I can be riding past my grocery store and pop a nice 360 flip, and people who can't even stand on a skateboard to save their lives could care less. Meh.

I've been skating for nearly 6 years now. I'm thinking about trying to go pro and so forth. Whenever I get a job and can start going to my local indoor park more ( www.skateevolution.com ) I'm gonna start putting together a film, and I'm gonna get tons of footage during the spring.

Regardless of what happens with sponsorship and all that BS though, I'm going to love it. Skateboarding is jsut the most important part of my life to me. Some view it as just a hobby or something....to me it's more of a lifestyle. Not saying the other way is wrong or anything, everyone does it for different reasons. Either way, I'd strongly advise picking up the board again man, it's worth it. If cops are too big of a problem, maybe start looking for skateparks to frequent, or bug your city council to make one?

Cops aren't the problem. We have a local skatepark but it's owned by a group called 'white city' who'll kill you for your board, literally, and round my local area isn't a great deal better. There are places where it's safe but they're quite a journey away and it's all very artificial whereas I was very much a streetskater, making use of what I could was part of the fun.

Plus I wasn't that good, my ollies and pop-shuvits were quite high, my kickflips were low. My rodney mullen impressions were quite respectable and I'd only landed a few varial flips.

It's alright, as long as you enjoy what you're doing. ****ty that you live in that type of area though =/

There are days where all I do is bomb hills in my neighborhood, sometime spopping an ollie over a sewer. Just cruisin is fun to me.

Streetskating was real fun, but our area isn't too great for it. We have sidewalk curbs and that's about it.

I think I have you beat.

Also note the 13 stitches in my upper lip, breaking 4 different fingers (2 of them broken twice), fracturing my thumb, breaking a wrist or two, spraining every sprainable joint I've got in my legs and hitting the pavement more times than I can count.

The fact that I still skate should tell you a little something of how much I enjoy it. :):):)

    • Can you still click his nose in the about box?
    • In that case this product has no value to me. I'd rather use older Creative SB that were better in my opinion or onboard audio chip.
