In my case we are talking the second half of the 2000's. Mind you, I was significantly more interested in the skating from the late 90's and what was "modern" back then didn't have much appeal to me. I mean even the photo on that deck is from 1999 iirc and I can still hear the music from the video in my head every time I look at it. I really can't express how happy I was to get my hands on a limited edition deck, signed by both my favorite skater and the photographer.

Pretty impressive you are still doing it 20+ years later. I didn't want to stop but certain life events came into play and eventually it just became one of those things I used to do. For multiple reasons I have no intention of getting back into it but I will admit, I am somewhat curious to give it a try once and see if there is anything left in me.
