Ah... the memories come flooding back.... that was around the time time I attempted a hand plant on a huge spine ramp and ended up with concussion..

this always amazes me.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnNwR...elated&search=

and Felix... I am 30 in a few weeks... and I think I may be having a midlife crisis.

Excellent albums. I have blue train on viynl as well as "whats going on". You mean 40 degree Celsius? I love having a few drinks on the porch in very nice weather with some friends and some music. I typically like old school country or blues when hanging on the porch, but anything will do. I tend to play the motown stuff when I am cleaning house, or chilling out with friends, or when women come over to my place;)

Yeah celcius. I forget 40 degrees means something else in the states. Not quite as summery. Probably the closest I get to country is Neil Young, Johnny Cash or Lucinda Williams. Aussie country always seems a bit wannabe, like they've watched one too many cowboy movies. I think country combines well with punk when it gets a bit more subversive.

word, that thing was a tank compared to the boards today. I think the deck I had was from his Powell Peralta days...the brief stint he had with them. My memory is pretty faded.

Thankfully I have a dad that took a boat load of pictures, of everything. I need to go raid the album and scan some of those.

Yup that is country. I don't count that crap they try to pass off as Country these days but is really just a form of POP music. Cash, Waylon, Coe, Patsy Cline, Hank (all 3 o them), the outlaws, June Carter, Tammy Wynette, Willie Nelson, etc. - that is what I call country.

Are you saying that skateboarding is a lot like chasing women? :eek: :D

Not really; skateboarders wear padding on the spots most likely to be injured.

For me, its way easier to get a girl, then to skateboard.. :D

Hehe, Im also a long time skater (over 15yrs)...seems like a lot of skaters use macs, at least all my friends do.

Wow, just read the rest of the thread, lots of skaters in this mac forum....must have something to do with being different and creative :)

I have a giant toy box full of old boards that I saved. My favorite relic is an old school Mike Mcgill graphic with the snake in the skulls mouth. I'll try to snap a pic when I get home.

Currently Im riding a Girl Rick Howard, Indy trucks and 54mm wheels.

Perhaps, but as you get older, I think you'll find that it is FAR cheaper to skateboard.

That should be FAR, FAR, FAR, FAR....

I kinda already figured that out. Each day at lunch I have to (well not really have, but I get 'rewarded' if I do) buy my gf soda and cookies and what else... Since the beginning of school this year I already spent half the money my Simple Tech external hard drive costed me...
Why is love so expensive? Lucky I get money from Google Adsense, otherwise, with the allowance my dad gives me, I'd be bankrupt..

lol... made me laugh out loud..

maybe someone should make a thread on skateboarding, and to photek, i think at the moment the jose parody is funniest :D

yes and yes.

'Joooooo oooose... I'd marry myself if I was gay'... ...... genius :D

lol did you hear when they made carrie cry, i think its on the podcast

Have you boarders come across something called a rip-stick? My 19 year old got one, and my 16 year old was actually using it more, and became pretty proficient on it until fracturing his tibia in a football (US soccer) match.

Now he's relegated to crutches and wheelchair for a couple months.

This year I turned 56, and can still relate so well to fazstp's smiley. Although many my age have granchildren, starting a family when 37 hasn't been bad.

As in my User CP public profile, I make my living as a physical therapist here in the Albuquerque area. Next year makes thirty that I've been doing this, and it's still a gas. I can't imagine doing anything else for a living. As I tell my patients, it sure beats working for a living!

I had stumbled into the mac when I was trying to put together educational CDs that would be cross platform. I was using a hp pavilion running win98, using Adobe Acrobat. When my parents passed on, and there had been some extra money, I figured I'd try the mac, as it had the reputation for graphics.

Given my interests in movement, anatomy, martial arts, and drawing, I still think it's odd that I spend so much time in front of the computer. Photography has much to do with that I suppose.

I had felt I was losing touch with the mac's directions in late 06, and decided to try out os x, by getting a G4 mini. That in turn led to finding this forum. I'm very glad, as I find the folks here very congenial and knowledgeable. It's a very nice community.

I often click on poster's User CP to see what they've written for their public profile, and often wish that more had been written there. It's nice to see folks posting here.

Best wishes to all.

A brief summary...
I live in Moscow, Russia. I speak English and Persian fluently, a bit of Italian also (but it escapes from my memory day by day). My profession is interpreter and currently I'm searching for a suitable job.
My main hobby is music - heavy metal and hard rock as well as classical operas. Russian opera is very good, I assure you:)
I also like reading a lot. I'm fond of classical literature, written in English. I read a lot now to better my language skills and vocabulary.

LOL. Do they teach that at school these days? I get the impression that even quantum physicists don't understand quantum physics.
