I started skating back in the mid 80s. Slowed down towards end of high school as I became a jock and joined the football team. Started again when I went to college as I had to take a crosstown bus and would skate from my place to the bus stop and from the bus stop to school. Found out last year that the City of Nepean (Ottawa) built a free concrete skatepark near the college I went to, of course many years after I had graduated. Now, in my mid 30s, I've got 4 boys who are into skating and we are planning on building a 16'-20' wide, 3.5'-4' tall miniramp in the backyard. I remember when I first was able to ollie...over another board. I was so happy! Or taking the bus into downtown from the burbs and skating all the cool spots! That was the life! Eat, sleep, skate. Skating these days is sooooo technical and huge!! Daewon vs. Rodney? Damn!

What was the OPs question again? Oh yeah...I used to skate and now I ride an FG. I also snowboard too.
