I'm Scott and I have an addiction to skateboards and bikes. I guess there are worse habits. Like Crack!

Nice Scott, Where are you from, what do you skate if you skate, what do you collect, how long have you been skating, how long have you been collecting, how big is the said collection, how many kids do you have, are you a brickie or a scientist, do you prefer Tequilla or beer....you know, when someone said 'introduce yourself' what they really meant was, 'is this guy a complete douche or not, and if yes, we probably don't want him here.' Welcome from (not so) sunny Sydney.

So I was born and raised in Sacramento, California. I'm 51 and started skating when I was about 8. I still own some of the boards I had from the 80's. Most notably my PP Cab. Still hangs on my wall. Had my own half pipe back in the day that sometimes a local pro by the name of Sam Cunningham would come ride and show us how it was done. Maybe you've heard of him? I've only been collecting for about 8 years now. My collection is not that big. About 34 decks and have 7 rollers. I mainly focus on signed modern boards from late 70's and early 80"s skaters. I still skate but took off about 25 years and focused on Mtnbiking. Use to race Downhill but got injured and had back surgery along with countless separated shoulder and neck injuries. Raced RC cars for a bit when I was injured and couldn't ride my bikes. Worked in the ski industry for a few year and also did some club racing in my younger years. At 51 I don't claim to be this rad skater anymore but still like to carve around at the skate park and have fun. And yes I wear full pads and will say that loudly in a room full of skateboarders. I'm not religious and am not political in any way. I have a 20 year old son that is a pot head(my fault) and still lives with me. Oh, and I drink beer. Not umbrella drinks with metrosexual names. I am Scott aka Sparky aka Mtnbiker67

I've done that trail too many times to count. North Berma is one of my trails there. Still ride with a flat spot on my rear rim from a launch into some of the big rocks that trail has. Blew my tire out and Stan's went everywhere. I can't figure out how to attach pictures to this. It doesn't seem to give me that option.

Hello and welcome from Maryland Scott. I'm from Sacramento as well. As far as the 30 day rule, that's for starting new threads in BST. Should be able to reply to existing threads there, as well as post new threads and images in other categories.
