I haven't checked it out. I should.

I only skated for a few years in Middle school and never got very good; I could barely land a kick flip. I was a wimp. I got tired of f'ing up my knees and elbows and pretty much stopped skating once I got to high school. . :lol:

I started skating in about 5th grade when I lived in Springfield. Skated allot for about 3 years until we moved to the burbs in 8th grade. I was also kind of a preppy kid and played baseball and soccer. I learned quickly that in my new town you were either a skater or a prep but couldn't be both. So my brother and I became closet skaters. Eventually gave up getting hurt on a skate board for a getting hurt on a bike around 10th grade which was more socially acceptable in my new town.

By by the time I stopped skating I could do a passable kick flip and rail grind. Part of me want to go buy a board and give skating a go again.

That was a cool video. The guy dropped into that bowl like a pro at the end of that video.
