DAMMIT WILLIAM POST IN THE RANDOM TALKING THREAD THAT'S WHAT IT'S FOR

Originally posted by jupiterone i saw some kid go face first into road pavement on hollywood blvd on thursday. no shirt on, raybans, lime green shorts that cut off really high. he tries doing one of those things where you brake/slide on pavement and i guess there was a chunk of road missing and just nails the fucking road face first

that happens a lot due to people doing tricks on that same slab of concrete over and over. To bad you didn't have your camera phone ready

I'm still a Mullen fan but Dawon does his tricks faster,wider, and more crazy than Mullen...Mullen is a flat land skater.

I agree but then they started making all boards skinny and that gave Mullen an edge above everyone else because he was already used to that style of board...go into any skate shop and you don't see boards like that for sell anymore and if you do they are worth alot..if you have one ... eBay the sh*t out of it.

Longboarding is very popular at my school right now, moreso than skateboarding.

I used to skateboard all the time in middle school but then I stopped doing it, for a couple reasons:

1) I could never do a fucking kickflip...I must have spent the entire summer one year trying to figure it out, and I never got it. I can't tell you how many videos I watched, tips from people I got, etc...I would always land with only one foot on the board.

2) There were never any skateparks in my area until a few years ago, so skating the same curbs and other boring shit got dull quickly.

I still have my old skateboard, and there is a decent free park 10 minutes from my house now, but I've learned all that I can there without getting hurt.

I can't drop into a quarterpipe. I can't grind any surface. I can't ollie over anything or off anything. And I'm afraid to learn any of those things, because I don't feel like breaking my wrist or ankle trying to do so. I know part of skateboarding is getting injured, but it's easier to nurse a broken bone when you're in high school and all you have to do is sit in a desk for 8 hours a day listening to some math teacher ramble...and not work a full time job or commute.

Skating culture is not what it used to be either. Ten years ago it wasn't so much about how you looked, but today every kid is trying to conform into some image that's a cross between a Hollister prep and emo kid. And a lot of them smoke weed too (gay).

I still enjoy the music (MxPx, Millencolin, Pulley), and I'm playing Skate 2 on Xbox 360 right now. But I don't have the patience anymore to get back into skating full time.

Originally posted by d_Verge I used to agressive inline skate. Got no love from the skateboarders, they called me fruit boots. I got pretty good though, was sponsered by some local shops and placed well in some comps. I don't think anyone blades anymore now.

Same, although my friends got sponsored, I never did. It was fun to go out with them on Sat. and tool around.

I'm pretty sure Rodney Mullen is responsible for the modern skateboard's design (just a bigger and symmetrical version of a freestyle board).

Mullen is my all time favorite skater, but Owen Wilson is up there too:



Can't wait to go skating again tomorrow. This is my deck; I switched over to 8" last year from some 7.x" pinner board:

When I ride I ride 8" also...sometimes I can get away with 7.75"

that's exactly what she said cause I ride with my 8"

Yeah my bf worshiped Mullen, too.

didn't he basically invent most of the major basic flips back in the 80's?

Like, look at this shit.

Yes, very true !! But in the early - mid 90's I think it where he started inventing new tricks like the late flips when right before you land a trick you kick it to do another flip trick before you land it...very hard at the speeds he does them at...also the dark slide where you slide on your grip tape instead of the graphic of the board. Some of his tricks are so complex you sometimes need slow motion to see all his foot work.

i used to skateboard all through high school.. i still do once and a while, well i did before eli hid my skateboard outside before winter so i wouldn't skate while pregnant and now my bearings are shot from all the snow and melt



me in high school.. i got made fun of alot, apparently skateboarding wasn't cool in 1996

Rodney Mullen should have some new footage when Almost puts their new video out...whenever that is.

Pretty psyched.

it's all way more fun to do the stuff on bikes. bmx or even mountain bikes produce epic lulz

Danny MacGaskill for example can do mindblowing things. The 360 off a tree was particularly immense fun to watch

Tonight I hung out behind a Food Lion loading dock skating on pallets.

Sure is a lot more fun (and safer) when others are around.

He's not, Koston is doing the skating whilst dressed as Wilson.
