Thanks, but nah, I'm just an old skater! LOL!
Well, skateboarding literally came from surfing, (it was called "sidewalk surfing") so most of the earliest skaters were from California and they were surfers before they became skaters.
When skateboarding went to street, it became much more technical and a lot of skaters lost the "surf-style".
When I skate, it's not about tricks, it's more about speed and flow and grinding in the bowl. I love that feeling.
