skateboarding

[MRP]

hey does anyone here skate, i used to skate for 2 years but then quit , i havent skated in 1 year ive just been chillin, question is i wanna skate again but dont think i have the motivation or even want to. tommarow i get my skate shoes i-path so i gotta decide right now.

[funKinGwaFd]

dude i used to bmx, gave it up for year, then tried again. it's frustrating cos your used to being good then you try and suck! demotivates you alot dude! but if you really want to get back into it then go for it!

[MRP]

hell yeah, i used to be real good but all my friends started to quit so i was like fuck it.

[soxsuk6432]

I skated for about a year then cracked a disc in my back and am still in rehab but I'll be skating next year.

[Baker420]

yah, i got a sponsorship offer, but i just lost motivation after all my friends quit.

[soxsuk6432]

I had a shop sponsorship I got kicked off the team when they found out I smoked weed.

[officerleeroy]

I've been skateboarding 6 years but haven't really done it in the last few months...it does suck when you start to lose some tricks that you used to have on lock and feel like you totally suck now..

[TipTIP]

recently i just started doing it hardcore again.

i did for about 2 years then started smoking then only did it now and then, now since i started up with coffee in the mornings i skate a lot again.

i like to skate high. i used to suck when i was high but now i skate just as good but, differently. :S

[homemade]

i skate but its f*cked up now how everone and there mother is skateboardin around the street like im cool i skate... its knid of a joke...too many posers

[yoda]

i broke my deck a few days before 420 last year, and i havent gotten one since. i still skate when im out and someone has a board. i tried last night but it was on brick and it just wasnt working.

[420purplehaze420]

rodney mullen is AMAZING. he's the godfather. you've seen globe's opinion right? his part for that is amazing. i wanna check out the rodney vs daewon song videos too.

[dopesmoker]

i used to skate, but the past few years my ankles and knees have been bad so after just a few minutes the pain in almost unbearable, so i stopped.

without rodney skating would not be what it is today he invented so many tricks that we all do now. I suggest to anyone with limewire or something like that to do a vid search for Rodney Mullen and then download one thats called i love skateboarding, its a couple minutes long and he does some amzing flatland and manuals in it.

[yzstoned]

i used to skate for like 3 or 4 years.. i was decent but i got into motocross. altho i havent done jack shit lately cept snowboard and smoke come spring i may start skateboarding but longboard cause they wud be sick to cruise around on high as fuck.

[spatte21]

I used to skate when i was in middle school/early high school then gave it up. Since ive gotten to college ive taken up long boarding. Its a hell of a lot more fun than skating and you get places pretty quickly.

i love rodney, i think most skaters forget about him, but hes fucking insane

[hempsmoker25]

i did for about a year and a half, then i just drifted away from it and decided i would chill, i thought about takibg it back up, but i liked getting stoned more

[soxsuk6432]

Try getting stoned then skating I like it. Back when I skated I had trouble getting bigspin front boards and I got high and realized it was all mental and got it in 3 tries. It made me braver, but it's alittle harder at first to skate stoned but when you get the hang of it it's really fun.

[so out of it]

who gives a fuck

[MRP]

rodney mullen rips but my favorite skater is tom penny in flip sorry , and flip really sorry was awesome he has such flow and a style like im drunk and high and if i bail i dont give a fuck. im defintley starting again but this time im not gonna be scared of nothing ill try everything that stands in front of me. i was supposed to be getting my ipaths today but the shop was closed.

[JiGGabOo]

ive been skating for awhile now.... iam not that into it nemore cause it gets boring.... i can kickflip a 9 stair and ollie a 11.


...... in my opinion, rodney mullen is a really bad and boring skater...... all he does is the same shit over and over again. the best skaters now days are leo romero, dustin dollin, corey duffel, etc.

[JiGGabOo]

wow u guys have no tastes in skate style at all.... rodney mullen is so boring and in my opinion i think he sucks asshole.... if u want style watch videos like foundation-thats life and baker3

[420purplehaze420]

without rodney this supposed 9 stair kickflip you can do wouldnt be around, he invented the kickflip he called it the magic flip for awhile, i like all the skaters you mentioned but i like rodney the most because of his accomplishments, if you dont like him i couldnt care less

[MRP]

i fuckin hate baker and anything the have to do with. with there super tight pants and sketchy so called style they have no skills, rodney mullen is the only reason skating is the way it is today, and tompenny rips..

mullen, tony hawk, mark gonzalez, and the z-boys

rodney mullen is really innovative, very unique, and very precise. although my other favs include kanteen russel, daewon song, chris haslam, geoff rowley, and jamie thomas.

[da haze meister]

yeah i skate, i have a chocolate board, and i jsut got a pair of i-paths and es accelarates.

[yoda]

dark star was my favorite deck(oh yeah, chet thomas is one of my favs) and i normally wear DC's, but i have circa rodrigo lopez's right now.

[Pete Rock]

I've been skatin 5 years, everyday the first three and only every now and then the past 2. All my friends quit but I kept on skatin, but skating by yourself all the time started getting old and the few spots in my town kept getting busted. Recently I've actually been tryin to get back into it. I got on my board after several months and could still do shit like kickflip, so I still got potential.

[VoidLivesOn]

I skate a BE40 gravity longboard, then I have a 38" sector 9 thats just fun to ride to 7 11 on, then I have a 27" bamboo s9 mini that can tear up a ditch, or embankment.

[Funkamander]

I skated a lot with my brother, but he's in college now. But, I'm moving in with him, so I'll be shreddin' once again.

But yeah. I hate street skaters. The faggots who just fall all day and get pissed and break shit. Then, they piss everyone else off, so it's that much harder to get a skatepark in my town. Plus, they all wear fag clothes.

[MRP]

street skating the shit, vert or whatever you do is gay, up and down up and down all fucking day long.

[miraz]

Yeah i skated for 2 years then quit due to my friends quitting. I would liek to start soon. But no one really skates here in the winter. (i live in Pittsburgh, PA) But come spring i wanna start. My uncle was a big skater in the 80's and has help open/design 2 skate parks and has his own skateboard company. So i can skate at parks (although I dont like goin too much) for free.

[Pete Rock]

Vert skating is mad gay. All that x-games shit is just some boring ass vert.

[officerleeroy]

Although most people think vert skating is gay I'm sure they are having just as much fun as we are skating street all the time...they probably think street is gay...but I bet its fun as fuck feeling spinning in circles way up in the air like that...I know I'd get dizzy and throw up haha

[420purplehaze420]

when you live in bean town all you can do is street

[uncle john]

i skated seriously for awhile then stopped and pretty much go on and off now. cept i have rugby practice now and we practice RIGHT next to a skatepark and i get distracted as fuck. ill pick it back up after rugby.

bastien salabanzi>all

[poiuyt]

[officerleeroy]

between ages 11 - 13
:confused:

bastien used to be one of my faves

[Pete Rock]

bastien is sick. Mu' fuckin cab flip lipslide on a handrail. I don't even know whose hot these days but back when I was skating serious it was all about p-rod and koston. Gaelila Momulia and Josh Kalis are mad sick as well.

[officerleeroy]

I know what you mean...P-rod was my fav skater and Galia Momalu was tech as fuck...now there's all these new kids blowing up and shit...this guy I know that lives about 30 minutes away just got back from the Tampa Am and got first place and $10,000...he's already gotten a few big company's coming up to him and I think he's about to get on Plan B

[uncle john]

forgot about koston. hes sick as shit. no matter how many video games he gets in or whatever happens, the dude is flat out sick.

[420purplehaze420]

anyone got any good skate videos to recommend? something that isnt all stairs?

[3rdEyeVision]

I've bein skating since i was 7 and I mostly skate street.I fucking hate it though all my lazy ass stoner friends quit so the only time I skate with people is like once or twice a week with people 5 or 6 years older than me but at least i learn more frm them

[da haze meister]

bastien salabanzi>all

i frequently skated with bam margera, terry kennedy (i was his filmer), mike maldonado, evan hernandez, and a few other cats at BoarderLine skate park, when i lived in Philadelphia. i skated with bastien once for a few hours before a demo. he was getting angry about the slippery floors, so we went across the street to a junk yard with his filmer and another dude and they blazed a blunt. that was the first time i ever hit a blunt. im not lying at all. they only gave me one hit though. i coughed and coughed. he came in, and landed the trick first go. i still have that film. 270 to lipslide.

[3rdEyeVision]

Bullshit man...thats one fucking big story,terry's filmer.....may i ask what ur name is???you dont have to answer your name but i'd like it lol

[yoda]

is galia momalu still on darkstar? thats the last ive heard of him. ive gotten out of checking up on skating news.

[da haze meister]

Bullshit man...thats one fucking big story,terry's filmer.....may i ask what ur name is???you dont have to answer your name but i'd like it lol
i swear to god... i have it on digital 8 video, but i send most of it to a PO box cause terry asked me to... i filmed him for like 3 weeks every few months cause he was up in philly to do the whole compton ass terry viva la bam thing... im not lying at all, but my name is pointless cause i was a minor so they didnt credit me in any vids... i havent seen any of my footy yet, but it was good. i have a Sony DCR TRV series with handle and Century Optics Fish Eye 0.3x, aka the death lens, i used to be way into that stuff.

[Funkamander]

Oh shit. I forgot about the best pros ever. Arto Saari and Louie Barletta.

[officerleeroy]

[da haze meister]

I skated for about 8 months and then squihsed a disc in my back and still am not supposed to skate or even run. I'll be skating next year when I get out of rehab though.

i saw an interview of him on MTV and one in a magazine, he said some motherfucker just pulled a gun and shot him in the face and the hand... i saw a pic of it by Atiba and its still in his jaw.

[Paige]

haha its funny how everyone USED to skate... but sadly i did too. i was friends with all the skaters and when we hung out that is all we did.. but since i have no hand-eye cordination at all.. all i could to was ollie and kickflip. but i stopped when i moved for 1. i didnt have a skateboard 2. everyone in tooele skateboards and i would just be following that fad.. but o well.. sometimes i use a skateboard to go places faster, but ssparingly

Regular boards or longboards?

[soxsuk6432]

Regular but I used to mess around on long boards. Never took it serious though.

Sadly enough its always easiest to say you "used" to skate and not tell anyone that you really just sucked ass and then quit.See telling people you "used" to skate makes you seem like some sort of veteran making it clear to the other persons mind that you were probably good.And even if you wern't just name some tricks off from tony hawk, or your favorite skate videos.Its not like they will be expecting you to prove it...I mean afterall you USED to skate.:cool: Heh, I'm not saying everyone does it but...yeah...pretty much everyone does it.So tell me you used to skate and name off some tricks that you used to be able to do..see if I give a fuck.:thumbsup:

Oh this wasn't to you in general.

[420purplehaze420]

dude, rodney invented the fucking ollie
No. He just perfected it, it was invented by was Alan "Ollie" Gefland in 1977
