It's a good landing when you get right up and run after your board as if nothing had happened. A friend from the pool hall in the 1980s was one of the first skateboarders to be in commercials. Some of the shots in this video are probably on my street.
LOL, yep, I learned to crash a long time ago
That's cool about the skateboarder thing, I wasn't too much into those, I preferred BMX. Back in the early 80's I met some older guys (they were early 20's, I was 12'sh) from California on a local sledding hill in the winter, they were using converted surf boards as snowboards and let me try them. That was pretty cool, none of my friends even knew what it was when I told them, I didn't know until I saw them.
