The last time I was on a skateboard was around 8 years ago with my ex-girlfriend's son who was about 14 at the time. He bought a board so I got one with him. I was big into skating all through high school and my first couple of years in college. I used to skate with a guy who claimed to be Rodney Mullen's cousin. He was really, really good and had some Mullen-esque qualities about him, so I'll go with it. When my college roommate flunked out I built a small quarter pipe in my dorm room.
I was able to land my usual bag of tricks with my ex's kid; kickflips, heelflips, fakie 180 kickflips. I couldn't quite get my 360 kickflips to go so I settled for some varial kickflips. I went back a few times with him but my knees are pretty shot so I had to give it up for good.
Cool thread!
