4711	Article	Dalek227	Thank you for the comment! I absolutely agree that it's made us more compassionate adults. At the time it sure did feel like a big deal but as an adult now, seeing the severe bullying that teenagers face today, it's nothing compared to that. However writing this is kind of like therapy. I don't dwell on the bullying, it was only a little blip in my life. However when I'm reminded of it I like to gab about it haha!		Dec 14, 2018

4714	Article	Hoju Koolander	Great read. I wrote an article from the male perspective of a fat kid during this same era a few years back, so it was interesting to read your experiences. Thanks for adding your voice to the site.	Being An 80's and 90's Fat Kid Part 1	Dec 15, 2018

5025	Article	Raelgoth	I can totally relate to this. It's good that you don't blame your parents, though I probably would. Growing up mentally is hard enough as it is. Having something physical added to that can make it super-difficult at times. I'm assuming that you embraced and learned from your experiences, aren't an axe-murderer and that you did in fact turn out ok.... which is very cool.

4790	Article	Vaporman87	An epic piece as usual. What an amazing look at how skateboarding was a sort of "rite of passage" for your family for decades. I wonder if your boys have any interest in it? I had a couple boards growing up. We had an extremely long concrete driveway to practice on, but the divisions in the sections of concrete made it hard to enjoy unless you had some really good speed going. I think of some of the dumb things we tried (tame in comparison to what you attempted to learn) and all can imagine now is breaking every bone in my body. LOL. Funny how our physical limitations progress and affect how we even imagine performing crazy stunts. This all puts me in mind of our local skateboarding utopia, Skatopia. I wonder what those maniacs are trying to come up with as we speak. Living only a few miles from that place is not far enough. LOL	Skate or Die Generation	Jan 14, 2019
4791	Article	vkimo	Nice piece! Brought me back to my short lived skateboarding days. My older brother was a sponsored pro back in the 90s and rode for Anti Hero and Real Skate teams. I believe he was in Thrasher magazine at one time. My first foray was in the form of a little blue cartridge on the N64 - THPS was such an integral part of my video game days. I would also get the CCS catalog and look at all the cool decks from World Industries to Hook Ups...I read that bio you got signed for your brother, nice read. I still have my Element Deck with Venture Trucks, Quickies bearings and Kryptonics wheels. Recently I picked up an old 80s skateboard at a garage sale, listed it on Craigslist only to be contacted from the original owner who said it was stolen from him as an adolescent. Crazy story, but I gave it back to him.	Skate or Die Generation	Jan 14, 2019
4793	Article	NLogan	@Vapor I know right? Regular access to skateparks, the helmet and knee pads allowed my brother to do insane things that we shunned or only dreamed of due to instinct of bodily preservation. My boys have boards but since we live on the foothills of the mountains don't skate much. Too steep. They play video games instead. @vkimo Whoa! Brother a pro skater that is rad! My little brother played THPS to death and unlocked everything. I managed to finish a few boards. Can you find my board that was stolen from me? Thanks in advance!	Skate or Die Generation	Jan 14, 2019
