I hear ya. I'm 40, haven't skated since I was a teen, but the skating STYLE in Powell-Peralta's *Ban This* has never left my mind. Check out Ray Barbee's flow... [VIDEO] ...the balls to the wall opening segment with Frankie Hill... [VIDEO] ...Diaz, Johnson, Rodriguez, and Mariano (the LA Boys)... [VIDEO] ...and this segment with Lance Mountain just made us embrace doing goofy shit as long as it was fun. [VIDEO]
