I always thought the Veriflex and the Nash boards were the best, they had that safety breakaway feature in them, If you landed too hard, They broke in half........

Re: What was your first extreme sport? Well I would have to say that definitely my absolute first love is without a doubt motorcycles!! I grew up with a biker family and I was strapped to a gas tank before I could even hold on to one! My mom, dad, and whole family were and are still bikers! I have always loved them! Growing up me and my dad ran a bike shop but when I was like 14 years old I got busted in DC running from the police and my parents sort of took the wheels out from under me ?!... so I guess given the options my answer has to be BMX because that is all I could afford so I rode flatland, street and park until I could grow up and move out of my parents house !My dad could see it coming and he was like u cant have a street bike if u live in this house! So I moved out and bought like three right off the rip! Now he has one and has give in to the fact that this is what will always be! I am now 27 years old and have been stunting since 2001.
