Yeah it is crazy. It popped up and then a podcast talk with Mike Vallely that was 5 hours long. I listened to the first hour and a half and I was super into it. It was crazy. It was almost like I forgot about Mike because when I was really into his stuff and a documentary series he did was about 2008.

funny story. Way back I had an old skateboard from the 90s we found at a garage sale. I was able to ride it a little here and there but I really didn't have anywhere to ride and no one else had boards around here.

Then in college I really wanted to get a board even though that was probably the worst idea for someone who was a college athlete and didn't need to be risking my ankles....etc. there was no skate parks or anything around but I was super into the idea of skateboarding. I always respected it.

Then when I moved to Arizona I was so excited there were skate parks I started hitting all the skate parks in Tucson and one time I was at one park all alone basically in the middle of the day and I tried to go real fast and shoot out of the bowl onto the deck but my wheels got hung up on the coping and i slammed my femur into it and seriously thought I broke my leg. I was down for awhile for sure.

Honestly I never progressed that much from not really having it growing up and then being 200lb once I was really trying to work on it. I never really had the right board or the right trucks either.

That Andy Anderson board really makes me want to ride but it is likely a bad idea. If I had kids I would be more inclined to get a board again and skate with them.

Do you still skate?
