my best skate years were round this time , i think this was age 15 or 16 i have always been a loner, skating has been one of my main interests from age 11 till id fukig say now, but i cant skate no more with my knee's. (31 years old now 2020) I almost never went to a skate park, I did not like it when much people look at me. I was a street skater. Biggest staircased I ollied was 12 steps. I dropped a vert once and jumped off my skate when going back up, I never dropped a vert again, fuking eeejl, it goes down vertical in the beginning, thats why its called a vert. but when going back up, that vertical piece launches you in the air. ( a vert is a couple meters high, like 3 to 5 meters ).
