I rollerblade, but mainly as a means of trasportation, I don't have the courage to try anything other than moving forward... I've landed on my head enough creative ways in Amped 2 and various Tony Hawk games to know better.

Tried it, decided cycling was better, more fun, and easier.

I'm with Billf, but now I've moved right next to a highway, so travel is out of the picture. So, maybe i'll start trying it when it get warmer.

I can skateboard. Used to be quite good at it. Haven't had a need to for a while so I am probably fairly rusty. Last time I really gleamed the cube was in 1985. I could do jumps and turns and such quite well. Almost got a speeding ticket once for going 35 in a school zone. Only reason the cop let me off was because I was 13 and had no ID or license.

I skateboarded all throughout high school and a little bit after. I still occasionally go, but that is only on rare occasions where I get to video tape my friends (who are rather good).

Oh, and by the by, Gleaming the Cube is one of the coolest movies.....ever.

I did for about 7-8 years when I was a youngster ;)

Yes it was, too bad it came out after I had stopped 'boarding.

It came out years before I even started skateboarding, I only saw it once while I was home sick from school. Many a times now my group of friends have rented it on a lone saturday night. :mrgreen: I just love the earing Christian Slater wears.
