I wonder if I can find any old pictures... I wasn't bad haha
I got a Toymachine complete for ya, free pick up. Optional Girl deck.

This house I used to live in was at the top of a big hill. The street in front was nicely paved, and very smooth at a low gradient that ran for two miles down the hill. My housemates and I would drink some beers, grab our longboards and go ride that shit at night. That was some soul skating, just like riding a perfect bowl.
You little kick flippies wouldn't understand......

I used to mostly skate bowls too, here's an old picture I found of a fs air over a hip of something. I think I was 14 or 15.

Whoa, that's awesome. I feel like skateboarding has advanced so much since I stopped paying attention to it, something always ends up blowing my mind every time I watch a new video part or pick up a new mag or whatever.

I don't get it either. I mostly rode bowls and skateparks but it was fun to sometimes pull out the longboard and go for a cruise by the bay. I own 4 different skateboards, all different sizes and all used for different purposes.

Its worth taking a trip. Bit shit for BMX, but you'll love their dirt track/race track.

To be fair that 1/4 alone looks mint. The park we managed to get built in Lenham (nr Maidstone/Ashford) is abit rundown now and for some reason they built everything about 2/5ths smaller than we expected
Id dig up a pic if i was at home!

Oh random! didnt know about that. I was going to go to Source to see Miguel Cambell but hes not playing there now.
Not been to a dubbed out night or the loft actually. Might have to go.
Edit: Apologies for going off on a random tangent in the skate thread
