gripping your board is actually pretty damn easy once you get used too it, what I do is use a hair dyer on high to take the old grip off if yer just changing it, then put it straight across from the nose to tail so the bottom isnt touching and then just press down from the middle out....o ya take the side of a screwdriver andrub it against the edge of the deck all around really hard so it'll cut easy
i use to play tony hawk pro skater alot..
does that count?
everytime i tell people my cousin jumped a 20 set no one believes me but one of our friends recorded it because when he tried again his board snapped
Uploading that video is the only way you'll ever get us to believe that.
Plus, you said "jumped".
I skate..........we have no indoor parks here and I hate skating in the winter....so I only skate all the time in he summer.....havent skated in about 2 weeks now though/...il
if you dont mind me asking. where are the slide marks on your deck? no tail slide? no nose slide? no board slide? just jagged marks like you were ollieing up on a rock.Quote:

24 hrs of skating and no grinds? seams a bit wierd to me.
i would have done atleast one 50-50 grind on my new deck in 24 hrs.
you will have some clean bearings though...
in high school public communications class I did a HOW TO CLEAN your bearing presentation in class. got an A.
I've seen someone do a ollie from about 20 or maybe a few more in an issue of CCS. It's possible if you've reached pro status or are really commited to that big of a jump.
I use to skateboard. All over Holland was the best. I managed to first buy an old school Alien Workshop deck, with Santa Cruz wheels, and Gullwing trucks, I think. After that, I bought nothing but Al.W decks. I had the Partridge Family plane deck that was made by Powell, but the cheap thing snaps on me 4 days after I buy it. I still have the half of broken deck downstairs.
I don't skate anymore as I grew out of it.
i have skated with Bastien Salabanzi, Bam Margera, Mike Maldonado, Terry Kennedy, and Evan Hernandez... i still have my helmet signed by all of them... i used to film for terry when he was in philly and then send the shit to a PO box in socal.. Bastien was gettin sick of the slippery floor, and he let me break his board, then signed it, gave it to me, and walked across the street, smoked a blunt, came back, and hit the trick first go
and what the fuck are you trying to get at?Quote:

if you must know there's None ,zip, Nada things to grind in my neighborhood. only a few curves here and there. and granted that was 3 weeks after getting it. now it's been about a month and a half with the front end o'most complete broken because of jumping off higher type of leges, and 180ing off stairs.
