Pics, please! Either action shots of yourself, or just your board with your bass! Old-schoolers are more than welcome, let's see those short shorts and VSW berets!
Here's a couple more recent shots of myself to get things started-
Miniramp backyard fun


And a prefab park boneless-


And my boards-

Longboards, Freebords, Flowboards, those little two wheel things, and even off road downhill boards, but I never could get the hang of a bog standard skatey.

Any particular reason for the hulk fists?

I tried skating when I was much, much younger. Cracked the old head a few times. Gave it up.

I know some guys into longboarding, they are also too nuts for me.

Ha! We had just finished building the ramp, and had (more than) a few beers after since we were waaaaay to exhausted to skate worth a damn, and my buddy handed me a ladybug hat and some hulk gloves and said "We can't get any decent skate pics, may as well get some funny ones. A backside grind was pretty much all I could muster.
