    pretty good skating for one year. kids and teens that start skating today, have it way easier and more of an advantage than the pioneers of skating in the 70's and 80's. I started skating real seriousely in 1985. right around the time Back to the future came to theatre. what we had back then were these heavy fat boards with little to no concave, barely any nose at all, with shorter tails you see today, and the trucks were huge and heavier and the wheels were twice the size you see most skaters skating today. This made most tricks you see today, very challenging. SO we stuck to doing bonelesses, power slides, riding ditches and ramps and ollying up curbs and picnic benches was a maximum for most. kick flips were especially difficult back then too.

    Much respect for skating for 23 yrs man!! Yeah I know the type of board u're talking about...I've riding them for a while as I begun skateboarding you know! Only lastly here in Mauritius (I mean like 3 yrs back) that the skate scene has slowly started developing. I got my 1st board (with nose

    Today has been chill man. I just settled a deal for a new car and i set up a filming board today. And by a filming board i mean it has 61mm wheels that are super soft so you don't hear them and you get tons of speed with one push!

    But i feel ya on the work man. I work full time as a baker. EARLY HOURS! lol I'm on vacation though until monday!

    But I'm pretty sure no matter how much we work, we just won't stop skating!!

    Cheers ;)
