Heh, at my school, everyone went through that skater phase. I skated for two months, then stopped because I wasn't any good. I could just ollie and that's it. Every time I tried to do a kickflip, I would hit my shin. Ow. :-\
I aggresive skate, though. I like going to the empty ditch that looks like a big V to just skate around and catch speed. It's right behind my house, so I'm lucky. ;) When I went to Vans, I tried out the halfpipe, and it's actually not that hard to catch air. But skateboarding on the other hand, takes alot of practice I would guess.
It seems like most skaters now days are jerks, though. Not you, though, because I think you're pretty nice. :)
