Screw 8 year olds and 11 year olds. There is like this 6 year old kid in the area that can get huge airs, ollie like 10 stairs, and just show me up. I was in awe, kids these days . . . I wonder what's in the water.

It doesn't seem cool (to me) when small kids are pros like sheckler and stuff...the older people i tend to automatically respect more.

wow..awesome..i think the reason these yungins can do this stuff is cause theyre all like fearless. I was when i was 8. I was jumpin off of houses. Now im like "holy Sh!t thats too high for me!"

^^ Yeah I agree with that. When I was 6 I'd be doing insane stuff on a bike or skateboard and not think twice. Now it's like "Hmm, I don't know if that's such a great idea."
LOL, funny how that happens.

You just think to much about it when you get older....you sit, look, THINK of what can happen and then chicken out :rolleyes:

Aright, I'm not sure how old you guys are. I'm 21 and once you graduate college and get a job that isn't just a summer job and you have to pay for rent and plenty of other things, you value your job a hell of a lot more. Thus resulting in a little less balls. You just can't do what you used to, unless you plan on becoming a pro. Which for me isn't realistic and probably for most people too. I'm not taht good at skateboarding and it pains me to even see like 16 year olds that are wicked good, but I have one hell of a time skating and i'm not going to let some 8 year old grommit ruin it.

Who doesn't these days?
That quarter doesn't look that wide. Wouldn't be the nicest thing to do that on. Has he had an article in Sidewalk/document/kingpin?

He has got a few mentions in sidewalk and i'm sure that it wont be long till he has some sort of add in there.
