          I think skating was hardcore in 1996. Thats when I was with the pros in Huntington Beach, CA. Now, skating is just a small thing I do every special occasion. I drive with my skateboard in my trunk, but barely ride it. Skating was definetly the best back in the good old days. Now its mostly just posers who want girls to like them. I could do a lotta tricky stuff a little varial here or there never hurt. I have old videos of my and my friends skating...it was much fun...they pretty much banned skating in a lot of places since then. I got free decks from Baker Boards easily. I usually rode on a world industries board.

          I would also like to add, I went to biking also. So now, I can do both which is really cool. Inline skating I came across and did some nice things, but broke my arm the worst you can going down a hill at litterally 50mph and falling.

            I started skating when I was 8. I haven't been doing very much of it at all lately 1.) because it's winter and there's snow on the ground here in Omaha, and 2.) I've found better things to spend my time/money on like computers and technology related things. When I was really into it, I was sponsored by this crappy local shop called World Wize. The place closed because the owner, Guy a.k.a. Wizeguy or something stupid like that, got busted for distrubiting drugs at the skatepark just right up the street. But yeah, I was pretty good. Like I said before, there's better things to spend time and money on. I may pick up my board and mess around a little this summer, though. I liked AWS, Element, Girl, and Status and used `es shoes most of the time.

              I skated once. Once. Only once, never again. I could stand on the board and move around (if given a push). I couldn't stop, turn, do anything. This was last year, btw. A guy (my sister's boyfriend at the time) was trying to show me how to do stuff. He told me to go off of a curb. He said it was easy. He told me if I moved fast enough I'd be able to make it off no problem.

              I kicked off, went off the edge of the curb, my feet went forward and the board flew out from under me. I did my normal catching method (which works well usually. I've fallen a lot in my day and can catch myself quite well), which involves putting my hands down at about waist level and rolling with it as I fall. Well, the curb was there, so my elbow hit it before my hands hit the ground, and it give me a bit of a scrape. Haven't skated since =\

              I've always been able to skate, though. I can't go very fast or anything because I haven't really tried to get better, but I didn't have to learn. Oh, but I can't ride bikes. I grew up living on an uphill street, with a dead end at the top and a busy road at the bottom. I never had anywhere to learn how to ride. Oh well.
              So I've gone completely slack-ass and haven't done any work on creating games. =(

              In less-depressing news, I got a job for an online business (which sells non-electronic games, of all things!) which has taught me a lot about marketing online and all that jazz.

              So now I'm on Twitter @NoahWright.
              And I write the blog for their website.

              Plus I do cool programming in-house that you'll never see. =O

                      I used to skateboard everyday. zero was my first board too. But the snow keeps me from skating all the time. And there aren't any good skate parks near where i live so it kinda ruined it.
