I rode a skateboard down a steep hill when I was 10, hit a tree on the side as I swerved away from it and flipped over into a laundry rack. Sprained wrist and gashes down my leg. You tell me if I still skateboard today.

When my friends and I werekids we all had a brief stint pretending that we could skateboard because we played Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.  That didn't really last long for any of us

I used to long ago. If I remember correctly, my last config was:
 

  • Deck: Element
  • Trucks: Either Tensor or Independent
  • Bushings: Doh-Doh
  • Wheels: Spitfire maybe?
  • Bearings: Bones
  • Idol: Rodney Mullen
 
Best trick before quitting, maybe a 360 flip off a 4-stair.

I did when I was in junior high school.  Then I broke my wrist, said "screw this," and quit.
 
Best trick before quitting, a Christ Air 900 off a 25 stair

Haha, I totally hit that phase back in 2000. Poor attempts continued throughout the next 7 years for me until I finally dropped it. It was okay stumbling around on a skateboard at 9 years old, not so much at 16.

I remember we would all try to do the most basic of tricks and fail miserably while trying them, though the one time we did go to a skate park and dropped in for the first time we thought we were awesome

I do, I'm not particularly good at it though. I don't remember the setup of my last skateboard, I haven't skated since it got crushed by a car in January.

Man, the last time i was on a skateboard i must've been age 16/17. 
That was fifteen years ago. 
It was a cheap-ass generic board.

I skated properly for about 8 years, was good fun. I could never get into Vert stuff though, I focused on old school flatland and natural obstacles. Rodney Mullen was far cooler than Tony Hawk ;)
 
I think my last set up was: 
 
Alien Workshop 'Bear' Deck 
Kreeper Trucks  
Spitfire Wheels  
Bones Bearings

I skate from time to time. My best trick I guess is heelflip. I'm not good :P
Deck: enjoi. Don't remember the width. A little under 8.
Wheels: I forgot the name... they got a creamy white color. Pretty known, so maybe you understand which I mean :P
Bearings: Bought them off ebay from a factory.
Trucks: Independent
Bolts: Have no idea. Didn't read it... didn't know it mattered.
