^ No I wouldn't classify myself as a skater
I used a skateboard for transportation a lot, used to carry one around when living in the city, its super fun for going on adventures with a walkman etc. Doubles as a seat when you need

I am really comfortable on a board but never had the interest to learn tricks or play with it. I dated a skater girl for a few years though (a real skater girl, she was pretty good) and had some skater friends, I'd go skate with them sometimes but I was never really passionate about it.
I used to be a pretty passionate snowboarder though, and still longboard just to get my fix. The skate scene was good for a time because I liked a lot of the skate-punk music, and always liked hoodies and pants with lots of pockets, lol. Good kids just out playing, like to get high, fuck the man etc...
- going out bombed on skateboards at night on a summer night can be magic
A few months ago I stole a night away from the fam and went longboarding in the city by the water it was the most fun I've had in while
