Hey everyone, my name is Charles. Im from the 540 of VA. Im 20.
I started skateboarding back in July of last year (2007), yea i started late in life. I skated religiously for several months, but the winter in VA is cooooold, and i just could bring myself to skate when it was 20 degrees and the wind blowing. I would skate for like 5 minutes, and say, "to hell with it, i'll wait till its warm again".
well, now its warm again, and im anxious to get back on the board.
My current setup: Paulie's Skateshop 7.75 "shop deck", Indy stage 9's, Bones Reds, and some autobahn wheels. With Red and Blue hardware.
I also used to have an account here but i dont remember it, so i just made a new one.
When i stoped skating last winter my trick list was pretty decent for a only a few months of skating.
I had:
ollie
kickflip
shuvit (not 360 tho, just 180)
pressure flip
Rock-to-fakie
rock 180 (not to fakie)
i could ollie as much as a 4 stair down, and like a 2 stair up
Now all i can do is ollie, kickflips on occasion, and shuvits on occasion. and i can still do rock-to-fakie's
But anyway, im gonna stop typing before this post gets too long. I cant wait to get back into skating again, i love the freedom and sense of accomplishment when you learn something new. Im hoping to have a few tricks back by GSD, even tho there arent any events going on where i live, i know there are a bunch of skaters, and 3 skate parks, so it should be interesting.
later guys. (and gals)
