I too have had my share of fractures and broken teeth. But I wouldnt trade those days for anything. Skateboarding has certainly come a long way since then. Wanna hear a laugh? My first skateboard was a piece of wood with metal roller skates nailed to it. Ancient huh! Great article. I too have had my share of fractures and broken teeth.

It is a strangely dark place for me, maybe one day I will blog it, but I don't know when, not sure if it is in my foreseeable future. But, as a consolation for the fact that you actually commented here, I think it's high time to write up part two of this post, which I'm glad you dug because it is a personal favorite of mine. I have a really bad nostalgia problem. Brad,

Haven't watched the videos yet, but this is great stuff! Regrettable lawsuit?! There's gotta be an amazing untold story in there somewhere. I was always the kid who carried a skateboard around & never wanted to take the time to learn how to use it. So my own history with skateboards is regrettable as well. What could have been...
