Ramps weren't my thing either but still could ride them and do a few moves. The very first time is terrifying though.

I was actually quite good for my age. Nailed all the basic tricks like kickflips, heelflips, varial kickflips and other stuff. Rails also,

Skateboarding is crazy fun. I think there isn't as much satisfaction in any other sports as there is in landing a new trick you've been trying to land for hours or even days.

Growing up i would spend hours and days with friends at the skatepark or just in the front of the house trying new tricks. From when i got my first skateboard at around 8 years old up until about 14 i would always skateboard during the summer. I watched skate demos to pump me up before going outside and trying new tricks. I think by the age of 15 i had completely stopped skateboarding. Don't know if it was because of a change of friends, growing up or the sport dying down but i haven't touched a board ever since.

Recently i've went back to watching skate videos and it really light up a spark. I have completely ignored skateboarding for years but still feel so passionate when watching those videos. It still makes me want to go outside and skateboard. I actually feel like getting back to it but there's a little hesitation. This summer i'll be 24 and there's this part of me that keeps telling me I'm just too old for this,

Anyway, any skateboarders out there or people who used to skateboard?
