I used to skate alot when I was younger and I'm 20 now, I decided to take up skating half pipes again, but i feel a bit of a loser doing it at my age. I know this is a pointless thread, just wanted to know if anyone else skates?

Used to up until around grade 8/9. Just snowboard nowadays. I always wanted to build a pipe in my backyard and skate vert though.

I'm 21 and I skate up to five nights a week. I feel more like a loser when I get stoned and look at the shroomery.

Yeah I agree I feel more of a loser because of my obsession with drugs.

I built my first skateboard in the early Sixties. I think the last time I was on a skateboard I was close to thirty. I still windsurf, though. A lot of moves done on wavefaces with a windsurfer are derived from skater moves.
The thing is, when you fall off a windsurfer, you don't get roadrash or broken bones.

You feel like a loser skating at 20? Most pro skaters are well in their 20s.. shit look at tony hawk how old is that guy like 45..50.. and he's still shredding the half pipes. But don't listen to me.. I skated for about 6 years when I was younger, but gave it up when I was like 17. Now I just prefer snowboarding.

I love wakeboarding and snowboarding still. Higher speeds with less chance of getting hurt.

Yea wakeboarding is fun shit, I love when my ride is done just hitting the wake as fast and hard as possible and just let fly and let go, although a lakewater enema usually ensues.

yeah that's more or less why I quit skating. Too many injuries.. concrete is extremely unforgiving. I never hurt myself seriously but I saw enough of my friends shatter ankles and stuff. Painful business that.
