Hey man can I join? I have 2 boards: a Black Label deck with Venture trucks and Bone Swiss bearing and some crappy blank wheels and hardware. My other board I don't ride is a Heroin deck with Thunder trucks, Darkstar wheels, Bone Swiss bearings and Shorty's hardware. What number am I? Can I be 12?
Here's my Heroin board if anyone wants to buy it for like $200 (it's worth about $350)

Yeah. Join. No one does number. We show videos, discuss the culture of skating, and just chill with each other. In time, you could be apart of the crew's family. No one really posts here anymore.

Glad to see you have no board problems. How long have you been skating, dude?

umm on and off for about 3 years, started getting into it more over the past year, though theres not many people around my area to skate with. How long have you been skating?

*sigh* this clubs so dead.

I stopped writting, to much life risking and whatnot, and the injuries keep me down to. So i stopped all together, im sort of getting over running from gangs and all. Still enjoy the art though.

Not long. About a year on and off.

Rough man. Well, maybe someday, you can get into that shit again. Time will tell. Glad to see you on, again, too, buddy.

Hey to all again :)

This club should get more posts of found videos, that should keep it more entertaining ;)

Me just made a new edit, all skating in done on a days afternoon. Kind of rushed the edit as everybody kept asking me to finish it faster but still turned out alright I think..

Got my board runed over by a car the other day, new deck snapped, and one of the bearings actually went through the wheel, and the woman just barked at me and sped off...
Rang the police anyway, they said it was my fault as I was skating on the road so no chance of me getting any money for the board, but I decided to press charges against her for for speeding in an estate and dangerous driving (nearly knocked me down as well even though speed limit in the estate is 20 km), so at least she'll get a fine or something... Usually court cases take weeks before anything is even done though :(

Nice edit. I love watching sponsor me vids, so cool. Anywho, i hate people like this refer to my comment i left on the vid.

Hey sure Ill join, I am by no means good at skating, I have a skateboard wich is like 4 years old and I just like to skate up my road early in the morning every day. We do have a skatepark but it is way to overcrowded. I can almost do an ollie but I find it hard. My technique is to get both feet near the tale end kinda lean torwards the back jump and flick my front foot of the front all the time jumping of, but it never seems to work, I am goofy stance.

Kind regards -
Sirtom93.

p.s -
This is the skatepark I occasionaly go in - http://www.owenmathers.co.uk/overboard/o penday.htm

Nice vis. I know so many places with epic banks like that, except i have never tried skating em because im scared ill just roll up and fall into it rather then ride up/down. Any tips?

If its a steep bank then you usually have to try to pop on to them or even a little manual on, but then most likely you'll have very little time to place your feet into a flip position when you're on the bank. Falling on to the bank isn't really that bad to be honest, its coming down that can cause more pain ;)

First time I did a bigspin on that bank I was coming down hit a tiny stone and went sliding on my chin, the rough ground didnt help either :\

Check this guys sponsor tape, seen him skate a few times, unreal, he got on zero now I think.

I'm guessing those are risers? You don't need them. I, personally, think a board rides better without any of that shit on it. Just takes up space and adds a bit more weight. Your board will flip faster without the pads, I can tell you that.

How's the crew going?
I got my shoes signed by Torey Pudwill at a DVS demo.
Shit was SO cash.

Woot new edit, in just 2 days of skating, this one pretty fun :)

Ah all you have to do is get a small crowd of skaters and go exploring :D Always works, especially when there are new parks near by. Also helps if you have a car :D

Started doing a lot of weird combo tricks yesterday (probably cause I cant do big sets/gaps now), got a nice 360 shove it to pivot to pivot :D And hippy jump airwalk :)
Going to try making an edit of it sometime nxt week hopefully)

Finally skateboarding again, after a break of 2 months.
It seems that I have lost all my nollie tricks, and that numerous of my other tricks got much worse.

Also, I believe that I have found the worst team skateboard video on YouTube.

Finally got those nollie BS bigspins :/
They were a pain in the ass.

I'm better nollie than fakie.
Discuss.

So am I.

No one really posts here anymore, we talk more about skating at the sfc, but yeha how can you be better at nollie then fakie that means your nollies are better then ollies, cause fakie and ollie is the same thing, maybe your skating the wrong footing??

Haha true, although I suppose if you doing a nollieflip down a set it be easier to roll away from it since you wont be landing in switch :)

This forum is so quiete most of the time :(

Me made my first real After Effects edit :D Check it out:

Skelly Shoes Commercial

Lolno.
What I mean is that I am able to do more nollie tricks than fakie tricks.
And I do them much better and consistent.

How is that possible?
Maybe your balance is incorrect in switch position.

Anyway, I think I'll start to keep this thread alive now, I havn't posted here is so long, but we need a skateboarding thread, so lets keep it, kay? :D
