Well here goes my history. I was born in 71' and jumped on a board in 77'. It was this old green flexy board with small ass trucks. At first I could not stand and ride, so I used the old one knee on the board and one foot to push. This worked well for me until I hit a little thing called a ROCK. As I flew face first into the asphalt, I had a pretty nice scab going from my eye to my lips. The next day I went to school and all the kids were like what happened. I said I did it on my skateboard. Now I was not a popular kid just very quiet and introverted. But all of a sudden I was the center of attention all because I fell off my board. I was like "Injuries are cool". Thats where it all started and I am still going strong. Check out this picture of me at www.mayaskates.com

I am the last of all my friends to keep it up. Now I do (vert) blunts, 270 board shove its to B/S 5-0 and a medley of other tricks. Skating is and always will be a part of me.
Thanks for your time
