I have been skateboarding since I was 14 (20 now), and the only board I have now is an Enjoi 70's style board. It has bigger wheels, but isn't quite a long board. It's the perfect riding board - just going from place to place, hauling ass... so much fun.
There is a skate park in my neighborhood and I used to just ride the mini-bowl late at night when the place was empty for hours on end. ...I do see it as a 'lifestyle' thing only because you have to invest a lot of time and effort into being a decent skater, or at least good enough not to eat it on weekly basis.
