damn; that's gotta suck. The only thing I have to remember skating by is the constant cracking sound of my ankles when I walk down stairs. No, I never broke 'em, never sprained 'em, only rolled 'em. I still take my board out to bomb hills (dangerous in itself!) or longboard around big parking lots. It's been about three years since I quit skating,
