I'm not even allowed to do 360's to teach my daughter to skate, and Greenwood has that little park near my house, with a mini spine no less. It hurts as every summer I see it and totally want to session it. I know those little sticks are mad for ollies and flips with such low centres of gavity. I used to do this thing in 85-86 where I'd go from say a casper then i'd do like a 360 shove it impossible, so many times I'd smash my shin getting it right (on a powell ripper). I wish I'd had one of these new sticks back then, I loved doing freestyle tricks on a full sized street deck. nuff' skatin. makes me sad...... Shiz, has the mad mad skilz.
