^Sick! That kind of stuff always puts a smile on my face. I remember sitting with my mates at the top of a miniramp when I skated, and a 6 year old kid rocked up with a skateboard nearly as big as him. He scaled up the ramp and his dad passed him his board, we were looking at each other thinking 'Is he going to try and drop in?'. Having witnessed many inexperienced skaters attempt their first few drop in attempts I can say it's rarely a pretty sight and we were guessing probably even less so to see a small kid horrendously stack it. Anyway, he popped his deck on the edge, and dropped in clean as a fucking whistle, rolled up the other side and rocked-to-fakie, rolled back and tailstalled, rolled back again and rock 180'd.... commence massive 'smack your boards on the coping' applause and the kid was so fucking hyped up he tried airing off the side of the ramp and so nearly landed it!
