i kept my first board for the longest time and would bring it with me when we'd go either street-boarding or hiking the woods around my house for some fun tree runs. Boards that you're not afraid to rip up make riding a shit ton more fun.

but now, my powder skis are so good in the park that i pretty much only take those to the mountains. Everyone i used to ride with has since moved away for school/work/etc so street-skiing is on the decline.

hit me up if you're ever out this way to ride, i'd be down to meet up at holiday valley, bristol, swain, or anything in between for a good day of ripping. got a couple boarder buddies that would go and i'm sure be able to help you out at learning some of the techniques. I can ride, but its been so long my teaching abilities are minimal.
