maybe now i can be that bad ass i always aspired to be

[wishbone]

while raiding the parents garage for some car parts, i came across my skateboard i barely used when i was younger.

I can't skate for more than a couple pushes without doing the arm balancing act.

I'm sort of tempted to learn how to ride it properly now. Does anyone else want to share this same passion with me and look retarded doing it?

AKA WHO WANTS TO BREAK THEIR WRISTS WITH ME THIS SUMMER

[tiedye]

I'm down. I used to ride but it's been years.

[wishbone]

i'll bring the volcom hats, you bring the anti-establishment attitude.

[Revolver]

for real guys?....ive always wanted to learn how to 'skate'.

id be down too...im not afraid to look stupid.

basically i look stupid everyweekend so ive grown to accept it...


how much dose a skateboard cost nowadays?

[project.one]

haha Ive gotten about as far as standing on one. I wouldnt mind actually learning how to!

[GSG9]

id be down but y'guys probably live too far from me. i grew up around a bunch of the skater types but havent really tried it.

[wishbone]

im willing to bet you can find something on craigslist for like $20, or pick up something new but crappy for under $50....

I'm sure I'd enjoy longboarding more as I don't really give a shit about doing tricks, but i might as well learn the basics on what i've got.

[cubed]

^less skateboard talk, more scrabbling!

[wishbone]

^
YOU'VE GOT A BMX, THIS IS HC SKATE TALK ONLY

(fine i'll make a move, you're slaughtering me this game :-\ )

[Revolver]

ok really now....lets do this, but for real...we need someone who knows what to do to show us and teach us.

at 25, im not getting any younger and who knows,....maybey im a natural at skateboarding(most likely not but im gonna hold on to the fantasy k?)

gs9 whats your story...where you live at? my home is in the valley so i basically cross alot of turf when im come to town

[miss.myra]

I've still got my skateboard in okay condition from highschool.

my friend just moved close to seylynn park and i'd love to ride the little bowl there some time. you should join me, it'll be FUN!! you could bmx in there too if you fancy that. It's been ages since I've rode my board, I definitely need bigger wheels and speedy bearings.

[mapleleaf4ever]

wow... all this reminded me that i've got a gently loved Santa Cruz PowerPly on Indys with AEBC 5's sitting at my parents place.

too bad it's gravel roads here.

this is an ispiring thread.

might be inspired to sell it to one of you if interested though.

oh and longboarding rules. but it hurts like fuck when you get owned by asphalt on a downhill. which seems to happen anytime i even make eye contact with the damn longboard.

[rawb]

LONGBOARDING IS A HUGE MISTAKE
ITS THE CRAZY RECUMBENT BICYCLE OF THE SKATEBOARDING WORLDl

[inside]

tons of trick tips on youtube. I wish I had youtube when I skated.

[NinjaBoy]

I wouldn't mind trying it out. I did it a bit when I was younger. But now I look like an old man, as I try not to get hit by cars.

[NinjaBoy]

My quarter life crisis rocks.

[ebbomega]

I'll happily sit on the curb smoking a doob laughing at you guys fuck up though. I'll even bring the 40-pounders of OE.

[Phrenetic]

I used to skate During my high school years, won a few competitions in Abby and Hope. Still have all my Boards, Plus living in Richmond its the best form of transportation.

I cant do any of the crazy shit i used to to back in the day but i still sidewalk surf from time to time. Its very interesting that you all want to learn.

Ill teach you all haha, after an hour ill make sure you never smash your teeth out or break your ankle.

[tiedye]

Well you guys can fall on your asses for a few days; I don't think it'll take me long to get back into it.

Oh, and I ride mongo so you might not want to take my lead.
