I rode before freestyle really started to take off so I did "pre-freestyle" stuff. And still do!
This was taken 2 months ago.

I'd have to agree with Sean - my avitar on the left is me scaring myself on my recently found 1983(4?) Haro Freestyler in Devonshire Green in Sheffield about 6 months ago when I got back into trick riding.

When me and my brother were kids, we built some crazy timber ramps but never rode in a skate bowl (I gave up riding when girls got in the way about '83) so it never fails to make my heart skip a beat everytime I launch out the top nowadays. For some reason I'm still having trouble with drop-ins onto concrete at the moment - maybe it was the fractured skull that stopped me riding 24 years ago that makes me hessitate! Must dig out an old photo my dad took of me and my bro on the ramp we built in the garden afterwards - apparently grass is softer than concrete (apparently !)  ;D     It still bloomin' hurt though......
