    Yup still do. I havent tried a pool in about six months. Sprayned my ankle showing off to my kids in a skatepark pool and lets just say the pool won. Giving it another try during the summer after my house is done remodeling. Then I can afford a little pain. Have a reissue rob robskopp and a double tailed newer style board. Like the reissue the best.

    Does anyone still skate? I do, but I broke my arm super bad a few years ago so I'm a lot more timid when it comes to skating these days. I have a Gravity street deck and a Sector 9 long board. Usually I'll just get on my longboard and cruise around. No tricks or anything, just good 'ol sidewalk surfing.

    Used to make my own boards with either red or green kryps and california trucks back in the days of Lief Garret..lol..even made a 6 foot "speed board" to zoom down the giddy hieghts of greenwich park hill (london), knocking pensioners and courting couples into the air....

    About 1976 I had a pretty cheap yellow plastic "bannana board". I always wanted one of the aluminum Banzai boards but never got one.

    I just had crappy ones. Now I have a Jason Ellis Powell one and another with Indy trucks and Red Dragon bearings. I live just up the road from Tony Hawk's favourite Aussie skate ramp...but you won't find me on it these days.

    Still got these two hanging around, blue one cost me over 40 bucks in the seventies. GX Caliber with California Smokers I think? The Nash was a Target special.

    Hmmm...I think it was a custom Super Surfer Endless Summer board. It had Pro-class trucks and Big Mac wheels. I still have it, taken apart. Parts of the trucks are missing and some of the ball bearings have come out of the wheels.

    I only had a few boards: 1st one was Roller Derby steel skate cut in half and attached to a board. Mom said I couldn't have one so I made it. The mid west circa 1977 was not skatebaord country yet.

    I had 2 K-mart cheapee boards a Blue one that shattered and a deluxe Red one. That was later replaced by a Makaha(sp?) It had sealled bearings and soft wheels, and great trucks. Very cool back in the day! I went in to get a drink of water on a hot summer day came back out 30 seconds later and it was gone!!! No one was no one insight anywhere outside or down the street.

    I had few others but I was older and there was less time.(girls)
