    I saw this on the skateboarding.com website awhile back and thought it was a really good idea that I could do here... but I dont think there will be the same amount of replys!

    Heres how it works! You say "you know your a skater when"....(answer) and so on and so forth!

    So I will go 1st (theres not really a limit to how many you can put down.. Ill just do one to start)


    You know your a skater when you fall but get back up to try again!

    you know youre a skater when everytime you hear a rumble outside, you look out to check if its your buddies coming down the road on their boards.
    (its usually a pram or a plane going overhead)

    you know youre a skater when you own "video days"

    you know youre a skater when you look out the window of the bus and "mind-skate" every piece of interesting terrain you see.

    OR

    you know youre a skater when you look at EVERYTHING differently

    you know youre a skater when you keep a brush in the car to sweep up spots.

    you know youre a skater when it hurts to see the rain.

    you know youre a skater when the thought of smooth flat ground excites you ( people may disagree with this. and ive a few friends who wont skate unless theres an obstacle there. flat ground is where it all began)

    you know you're a skater when your body aches and pains too much to take it anymore but you still go at it because you have an appetite for destruction that cannot be satisfied

    talk about reading too much into things. Let's try again, you know you're a skater when you have a few spare pairs of crutches lying around the place.

    I just turned 18 this Summer and have been skating for 2 months. Thanks for clearing that up f.
