[Bobafreak]

robby skate that deck. by the time i see you, that shit better have some scratches lol.

[240sdoitsidewyz]

when i wuz still skatin my favorite tricks were either pop shuvit late flips or nollie bs flips but since i havent skated in months i believe those tricks are long gone lol

[sillydrift]

I skate just got back into it also, about two months ago, i had stoped after I rolled my ankle bad off the sylmar high 9 stair about a year ago. It feels good to skate again!

like everyone has said I would skate faster, and work on your kickflips, they look kind of MOB flick up and out, not down and to the side

[woodchuck]

i started skateboarding in the early - mid 90's, then i gave it up when i hit high school. i picked it back up in college and have been skating off and on ever since.
i'm 29 now and i don't have much time to skate anymore because of work. surprisingly, i get a ton of encouragement from my wife to keep skating (God i love her!) and she even shelled out for a DLSR camera to get some pics of me skating. i think the camera is more for when we have a baby but for the mean time she takes pics of me just messin around on my skate.

set-up:
Chocolate Kenny Anderson deck 7.75
fury SS trucks
shop bearings
darkstar wheels
shop hardware
shop griptape

[shmiddy]

evryone should post pics or you decks!!!!!!!

*thinking to self :what a good idea!!!!**

[Bobafreak]

better idea vids! coming with one soon! shopping for decks as we speak.

my favorite trick other than my fakie ollie/switch smith/switch180 out is my fakie frontside bigspin. I cant do it off of anything, but its fun on flatground...

also, I cannot skate rails, but I LOVE funboxes with square rails on the sides.

another weird thing about me....i can only manual switch, i cruise/push off switch (goofy) but i ollie regular. I'm all messed up.

oh and i do switch boneless tail stalls on small quarter pipes. I'm weird.

[CrimsonRockett]

I had been skating since I was 10.

Stopped at 18 when I noticed how fucked my ankles were when I was at work trying to lift things.

Set up:
Flip 7.5 deck
Independent Stage 9 trucks(light)
Swiss ceramic bearings
52mm Spitfires
Black Magic grip tape
Independent allen bolts

I would start skating again, but with car builds, girlfriend, and work, I don't really have the time.

[Touge_Monster]

I started to skate agian when I got a job working for fallen footwera, zero and mystery. Now I skate our skatepark on my lunch breaks

you push mongo. my brother is the same way.

[Antihero983]

Yep I do!

they used to call me Mongo Joe at the skate park lol

People hate on it, but I don't care. I do don't alot of "mainstream tricks" , and people hate on it. I just skate for fun.

[s13dan]

I skated until i got my car, then shit changed. Cars where more fun but ill still always have a skateboard!

[Brian]

You know what I never got...

Why did it become "ok" to push mongo when you skate switch?

what the hell was that about.


When I would skate switch, I would push the correct way.

Its NEVER ok to "penis push", EVER !!!

I have skated for 12 years, want to play a game of skate for cars ??? lol

Skating is great fun and exercise. Plus when you sack a rail you pee blood... Whats not to love about it.

[Antihero983]

Hey guess what, fuck you both, I push both mongo and regular depending on what im setting up for. Don't hate cause you can't do it efficiently.

[bt2s14]

I use any blank 7.75
Grind king trucks....some may say lame but they are light.
Blank wheels
Bones Swiss that I got for free 7 years ago and they still run strong

[adrians_s13]

I used to skate A LOT back in highschool.... I used to know practically all the Long Beach skaters.

after I got into cars, I kind of fell off (basically right after I left highschool).

I'm always thinking about getting back into it... if anyones down to hit up some ledges, I'm down. But damn, its been a long time...

[Boostin on you]

YouTube - MUte Team PROMO!


mute team bitch.


get better at skating then make a video

[Antihero983]

one thing that sucks about skating now too is that being 24, I have bills to pay and I work with my hands, so I cant afford to fuck myself up too badly.

Ah well. hopefully i can shred this weekend.

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?

Little kids are nuts these days. It boggles my mind to see some of these kids skate.

I was never good at skating, then I dislocated my knee and that was it for me.

I just stick to filming it now haha.

Oh, and on that video that the first dude posted...Whoever is filming it needs to be closer. You can't have a fisheye and stay 10 feet back. 1. it makes the footage look SLOOOOOOW and 2. it makes it very hard to see whats going on because everything is too distorted at that distance. Fisheyes are made to be able to shoot in tight spaces, I.E. close to the subject.

[Antihero983]

just got back from 2 hours at the park. yay!

So true. I'm 32 and still skate, not as risky as I use to be when I was in my teens.

[krzy]

I skate too. I work downtown, so it's easier to skate around rather than trying to find a place to park.

[jdm538]

i broke my wrist snowboarding and then messed it up again doing a kgrind down a rail at cerritos skatepark. 2nd time i got surgery + cast for 6 months, so now i just skate to get around.

[ESmorz]

Fuck Skating

I broke my elbow, then I broke my knee, then a few sprains.

Then one day I got hit by a little honda civic going like 40. Snapped my arm in half and got a fat concussion.

Gave up on skating for about 3 years.

The next time I get on a board like a year ago I was filming while rolling, I set the camera down for a water break and was just fucking around on the board. Fell and got a hairline fracture in the funny bone deal on my elbow.

Tall people shouldn't skate.

[az_240]

I skate all the time...been doing it since 6th grade. I hit up the gilbert park here in AZ like every other night.

[thesimpleS13]

started skating at age 8, gave it up at 14 - 15 beacuse i was never able to land a kickflip -_-. now i jst like to cruise on my longobard

[jskateborders]

I used to skate hardcore back in the day, then I got a 240. Now Im trying to get back into it. Its kinda depressing, I used to have all my tricks on lock, now I can either do a trick reg or switch but not both..
