Haven't seen it, but it sounds in line with much of what I've read. Though I don't put a whole lot of stock in testosterone sampling -- I'm guessing they were salival samples and they weren't out there giving spinal taps to skateboarders. Testosterone is the precursor to a number of neurotransmitters and the most reliable way to test for it in the brain is by lumbar puncture, but that's obviously not an option in many cases.

They were skater dudes, and as such, I think they should have had to endure their backs being poked. :-)

I hope you have a lot of skater dude friends.

Both my nephews LOOK like skater dudes. but i suspect that has more to do with the way 18 year old boys dress today than anything else.

Though they both snowboard, is that the same?

(I not only have fallen down on the job, but i can't get up by the way)

Snowboarding is much different -- though I guess it would be similar to longboarding, but not regular skateboarding.

Skateboarding was all the rage when I was 8 or so. If i wasn't a chicken, i'd have been good. ;-)

Now, i'm the old man with the lawn, cept it's my "sleep in". "Damn it you kids, stop skating out there in front of my window. It's not even 10 am yet". ;-)
