Skateboarding
 

Who here skates?

I have been skating for a while but i have just started to somewhat break through...

Any way here is my latest skate vid.

YouTube - skating

i stopped skating sophmore year in high school when i got a car tried to get back into it a couple months ago it was depressing

Skated for a while but you skate like a beginner? landings are sketch and your doing basic tricks on a 2 stair...wooooo. i can go on and on. skate faster.. shit is slow. lol

i skate but only whne i am really bored and have nothing ot do.

I dislocated my hip and never got serious about it again.
I'll ride one here and there, but yeah not anymore.


^^^ wha? video wasnt that bad.

You don't have to tell me Bobafreak, I am not great but this is after not skating for 2 years or so.

i agree. skate faster. it makes it look much better.

im not great either but i havent touched a board in a while and it only takes a few flicks to get rockin again. skating helps that way when your learning a new trick or playing skate. But not getting footy.

The aim was not to create a masterpiece....The goal is to get better with each video you make, whether it's filming technique, skating, editing...Why be so negative? I think it's a pretty clever video with decent skating.

I am by no means trying to get sponsored with this or any other video I make or participate in, it's fun.

I am just beginning to skate faster regularly, for some reason I skated for years and stayed at a relatively beginner level, while maintaining a large catalog of flip tricks. I finally understand how to really skate.

I always wanted to learn how to skateboard cause of my brothers but they both broke bones and i never really got into it so i just ride around no tricks. Then i found snowboarding.. never went back to skateboard but a long board is pretty damn fun. Snowboarding>longboard>skateboard. Post some videos up of you skateboarding.

:D

YouTube - flip

man...... Huntington Beach HS skatepark is dead.

:(


I went to take pics 2 weeks ago.
what a bummer

i sk8 and im all bout death wish n baker yall!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yah, but i cruise with an old 1970's mini plastic skateboard ;p. I'll just learn how to do old school tricks :keke:



Watch the ending...its epic lol

I just got back into it after 4 years of not touching a board....it took me 6 hours to feel comfortable doing tricks again....

What's everyone rocking for setups?
I have..
Deck: Real Johnny Romano "Ramones" deck...I think its a 8 or 8.25
Trucks:Royal glow in the dark
Wheels: Black Label
Bearings: Black Panther Abec-3
No Risers
Misc. Hardware left over from previous decks.
Griptape: Eastern Boarder Shop griptape

I can't skate anymore.

I tried to not TOO long ago with Dr. Baby and Ross Dead Priate Productions.

We hit up a couple skateparks around here.


It is so strange watching kids skate NOW compared to watching them skate 5 years ago.


WHat the hell is going on with everybody having white cords dangle from the ears.
ipod? whats that?

The Berrics - The Best Skateboarding Site In The World
theres some locals to san diego (where i live) on there, they are really good and I have been out skating with them more than a few times.

here is a panoramic i shot with my phone

Somebody already cut out the flat bar and kept it as a relic.
Geoff Rowley also tageed up the bank (which you cant see in the picture)
This was just a couple days before they tore the whole thing out

i skated for about 8 years then one day i just stopped earlier this year but once it starts coolin down i might pick it up again cuz here in nola its hot and humid as hell

and my setup is
deck:enjoy panda 7.5
trucks:black and yellow tensor lows
wheels: darkstar 53mm
bearings:reds
hardware:shortys
grip:generic jessip

Real Skateboards and 88 footwear was all i skated.

8x32 because i'm pretty tall. I haven't picked up a skateboard in like 3 years though.

i have 2 setups.

marc johnson 7.75 grind king trucks 52mm autobahn wheels bone swiss bearings
habitat 7.75 52mm autobahn wheels grind kings, black panther bearings.

shoe of choice. its old school but i love the feel. dvs revivals. Im currently looking apon a rowley shoe. im very picking on material of shoes. i like those that last long.

I started skating 12 years ago, broke my leg really bad in high school and ever since then it's been off and on. I'm definitely better now than before at flip tricks, but I was crazier when I was young.

dude that was pretty good!

nice frontside flip of them steps, switch hard flip, and i like that bank you did that flip body varial +1 sir!!!

ill post up some vid's of when i skated a few yrs back when i get home from work today..

i was pretty good (not to toot my own horn) lol

ready for this one?

I've been skating off and on since 13, im 23 now.....and i have never landed a flip trick.

its a pretty good basic skate video

camera man needs to catch you landing the tricks not shooting you from behind and wait til' you complete the trick

agreed on whats been said before skate a little faster it'll definately help your technique and landing

thats pretty good for 2 years though keep skating and refine your style

i've been skating for almost 8 years i rolled my ankle about a year ago and it hasn't been the same but i still love to skate just no more loading docks or big set stairs for me anymore :hs:

pussys lol. i kid i kid. i been skating since i was 10 im 24 now.. I can hammer some rails but im more of a tech flip, gap guy. skated for jers board shop aka utility back in the yay day. Thinking about skating some more for 71 in chino but i need to talk to my ol boy tim.

:rofl::rofl:

dont feel so bad it took me forever to get that trick on lock..... but i lost it now so.........

i had a nice backside 180 kick flip... HAD....

one trick i have been working on is a frontside 180 casper flip. i can stick it but i dont know how to position my foot to ride it out. that shit has been eating my laces.

Always.

When Im bored somewhere waiting on a girl or at a car meet, (I get tired of looking at cars)
