i love skateboarding, I practiced like 5 or 6 years when i was in highschool, does somebody skate here? This is my buddy Andrew, he moved to the US like 4 years ago and he is about to go pro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtOpCm8oI1Y
Cool video. I used to when I was little, could do several jumps and spins until I fell on my hand twisted my wrist. Haven't done it in over a decade. Whay kind of pro contest is your friend entering
He, I used to skate a few years ago when I was younger. I was a pretty awesome skate if I said so myself but I stopped because I lost interest in the sport. I still have my old skateboarding stuff in a box in my garage.
I've been skating since I was 12, I'm 18 now. I love to skate, it's a great way to express yourself and to stay away from things like gangs(there are tons in Long Beach where I live). I'd take bombing a hill and feeling the wind in your face over almost all sports.
