Then about a year ago or so I got some hockey skates to do some rec skating in. Then I skied my first double black diamond runs so inline skating lost the rush that it used to have. I ended up finding aggressive inline skating and it gives me the rush I want! ^_^; ▶ Reply to This

I then figured out that there were better alternatives and never looked back. Then I got hurt training for the US Extreme freeskiing championships and couldn't skate for two years. Back in the saddle now though.; ▶ Reply to This

But i just started skating again because a new skatepark just opened near my house. =D; ▶ Reply to This

Then when I was 14ish my friends and I converted our street hockey team into an aggro team, built a bunch of ramps and rails in my driveway and thus began my skating. Got out of it for a while after high school but the influx of skateparks popping up here got the blood boiling again.; ▶ Reply to This
