Nice.  My friend's little brother is endorsed by Mystery.  He's 13 too and already on a local skate team.  He's met Rodney Mullen, and one of Team Almost's members actually gave him their board.  How long have you been skating?

I used to about 3 years back, with a Blind. I broke the nose off, rode without grip tape and then snapped it in half. I kinda lost interest after getting my Cougar(hehe). Right now Im back into it riding my brothers Walmart board. Ive been wanting to order one for so long, it just finally happend that I ordered it. I still gotta get trucks for it. Ill give myself alittle credit, but Im not great. Im average.

Nope, I respect all the guys who do it though.  I used to ummm "Fruit Boot" as you guys called it, but got out of that.  I never quite had the motivation to get into Boarding.  His name is Nick Podojil. I'll as him for the website to the skate team he's on next time I see him.

Well I have never heard of "fruit boot" so I have nothing against you. I tried bmx once, not my thing. I royally wrecked. Anything to do with wheels or motors and Im game. I work on my jetskis all the  time and I wakeboard too. I try what I can.

I used to longboard and skate alot. Its harder then most people think. I just liked to carve and things of the like. Being almost 200 pounds, skateboards never really lasted me all that long. My long board only lasted me acouple of months.

Just get blank boards at a skate shop for around $40. Those k-mart specials only last acouple of weeks anyways.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
