Naa, it's part of the hipster/skate conversion, the Route1 I got through the door today was straight hipster fashion with two whole pages of long boards.
Its weird, I can barely do any flip tricks myself, but know the foot positioning and leg movements like the back of my hand.
Last tricks I learned were backside nosegrinds and backside overcrooks on transition! Definitely more of a "go fast and go big and hope for the best" kind of style than trick in, trick out ledge technician style.
Possibly the best photo of me skating
5.0 fakie. Ate shit sooooooo many times trying it.

i started skating again after a 5 years break i can do my kickflip, olie and bs 180 and a half cab again.
and i almost can do my heelflip, Fs 180, pop shovit, nollie again
i'm going after some new weels and trucks today mine are all rusty atm and to lose, i can't put them tighter.
It's about dropping a track at the wrong speed, and it sounding better than the real thing.
If anyone has any spare trucks i'll swap my independents for them. theres nothing wrong with them its just my deck is 7.5 and i got the trucks from an 8 inch complete so they stick out the side a bit.

that's what I was like when I used to skate just race at stuff as fast as possible and hope that I don't die. all my mates just played skate all day long, I'd always be out first.
quit last year.
used to skate.
really would like to start again but i snapped my trucks when i dug my board out the shed a couple months ago,
maybe once i sign on i'l get a new pair
used to be well skinny when i skated too...
might get some skate vids to get me some inspiration... any recommendations?
