I started skating in 1985 and started snowboarding in 1988. Yep - I'm old . . . hence the reason for being "retired". Well, that and I have four kids. Used to skate street mostly, but some vert when it was available. Every once in a while I'll still break out Animal Chin for a good laugh.
Oh I miss it. Remember when you had plastic side/nose/tail guards? And truck risers! The first everslick decks? Good times man. Back when Mike Vallely beat everybody up? Classic!
