I was pretty average. I got on my nefews board the other day to show him a few things and yeah..... it's been a while. 
After a few minutes it came back to me but just didn't seem like I was as good as I once was.
I was average too. I was a street skater, I didn't like vert. I was able to olie up 5 steps, rail slide planter boxes, tail slide curbs etc. Now I stick to the basic olie. I need to be able to goto work now. Not like back then you get hurt & stay home from school. Gotta make that money.
