How often do you skate together with BMX riders on a vert ramp?

Do you bond instantly because you're both using the same tool (the ramp)?
Anthony Furlong: I do, but over the years not all skaters did like I did.

Do you understand BMX tricks on the vert ramp?
Anthony Furlong: I'm a fan so I know most tricks and understand how they work.

Do you drop in on a BMX bike every now and then?
