The skateboard thread.<

Man....I wish I could still skate! I bodybuild and play rugby and I just got too fucking heavy! I kept hurting myself too, and I need myself for rugby!

Skating was fun though...my last set up was an enjoi (awesome pop and concave), Thunder trucks, Fracture wheels and Redz bearings....pretty good.

Wow, suprised about Kosten switching, I hope éS dont fade away. They make decent shoes, better than the lakais Ive had actually.

I have my local shops deck, Grind Kings with the canadian flags all over them, blank white wheels and Bones reds bearings. Its pretty good, i dont like paying for $90 pro decks so i just get the $30 shop decks, its all the same wood.

For shoes i just have a pair of some leather etnies, the right toe is all messed up from 360 flips and kickflips already and ive only had them 2 weeks.

My town is getting a skatepark next spring, it will be my second home. hardly anyone skates these days in my area, everyone quit.

I got a pair of zoom team edition dunks. I like them alot, they have a lot of heel support, and sadly my heels are getting bad.

I ride a Jamie Thomas Zero board, and I have a Pig setup.

Yeah like none of my friends skate here anymore, has anyone seen the new Enjoi video I heard it was the shit.....especially Jerry Hsu's part



Lots of you guys probably watch these already but if you go to video.google.com and search skateboarding or whatever you can watch a bunch of skate vids(full ones)

i saw part at one of the shops here it was really good plus they skated in my city which doesnt happen much.

I use to skate, I started when the wheels were huge and stoped skating
about 7 years ago. I don't know how many boards i had in all those years
My first was a powell peralta the last one i had was a toy machine, I
even had one of those carbon fiber boards at one time.

ive basically stopped skating. ill skate if someone has a board, ill ask to ride for a bit. i could do a few tricks, never went huge off anything. my favorite deck ever was a darkstar, i got great pop from it.

I just put together...............

A rereleased ZORLAC pushead........shrunken Skull

Jay Adams Grind kings

Spitfire wheels

Ill post some pics..................

^^^ did you buy that deck for the company or the artwork??isnt pushead or whatever an old tatoo artist or drawer or something????? lol I might be thinking of the wrong guy

whats the shape of that zorlac deck, does it have an oldschool shape too it or just the normal twinkie boards lol

It's good to see some skaters on here. I've been skating since the very end of '99 but I've kinda slowed down now but I still go out a couple times a week so I don't lose any of my tricks. I'm riding a girl deck with royal trucks and some blank wheels right now with some lakai's. Skate or die :D

nope you were right it was on the commercial for the first tonyhawk underground

it was something like: "so were throwin dice in the ally and officer leeroy comes up" and hes like "i thought i told you, and im like yeah WHATEVA cause this is my united states of".....

its a pretty sweet game, better than the second one

you dont have to be haggard and dirty or a punk to skate....

the new tony hawks project 8 or whatever looks pretty slick......Im hoping he made it as real as possible gravity wise and stuff.
