Skateboarding, anyone?

[-DarK-]

I used too. I don't any more.
I was never great at it though :/
If my skateboard wasn't wrecked, I would start again.

You can always buy a new one though... A full-set here costs approx. 180€ (depening on what you buy, how much it costs, etc). In usa that will probably be around 150$.

360... Pretty hard trick :/ Tried it alot but can't get over 270 :(

I almost mastered it, took me 4 months of trying. :)

Oh well, it is worth the time though. :P For me, it took around 6 months to master Hardflip, and the results are... Great :D Impossible however, took me less than an hour to get down too o_O :D

I'm street/regular, though some mini-vert sessions can be quitte fun too :D Closest skatepark here is about 10 - 15 mins away. My faves (and currently best ones as well) are Hardflip, Fakie Hardflip and Impossible :D I've been skating since... Uh, I think january 2008... Makes 1 year and about 8 months :P Skating this summer is a pain in the butt though, cause the weather here can get so hot that you're tired in no time, even when doing easy stuff. :/

It seems everyone I know who skates is street/regular.

Speaking of skatepark (well.. I guess no one was, but still) I always found it weird that most of the people at the skatepark are really nice.

Well, that's simply the nature of pretty much all skaters. We help each other out without actually thinking about it.

Booting this thread over into OVP~

-DarK-, take a look at the sticky thread here in Other Voting Polls, it'll help you decide where to put this kind of thing in the future. :3

Aye, thanks. Still pretty confusing though...

 

[Gary the Magic Fairy]

Nope. I can barely walk without tripping. I would be dead within a week.

Besides, there really isn't any place around here to do it.

 

[Empty Pot]

I haven't been able to skate much as of late, but I enjoy skating quite a bit.

I'm more of a manual kinda guy. I'm best at manualing because I have sick balance.

My favorite trick is probably the handstand. It's hard to do, I've busted my head a few times, but it's flashy and fun.

My favorite skater is a tie between Rodney Mullen/Chad Muska.

 

[-DarK-]

Hehe... Almost landed 360 Hardflip and Double Hardflip today :D

 

[chevelleROCKER]

^Nice, man.... I still haven't skated in quite some time xP But I'm positive that I can still land an Ollie.

Me + Skateboard would definitely = Hospital. So no. I don't skate at all despite the fact that I have actually never been to the hospital. I think it's really because I'm a coward to such things -shrugs-

 

[chevelleROCKER]

^I thought that too, when I first started. But I started to practice more and it became less... "scary" I guess you could say... Idk

 

[Ru]

Well. If I ever did try skating, I certainly wouldn't be able to do any tricks. I'm a slow learned to those things. I would do simple skating down a street (or rather down the long driveway I have, since the street isn't skateable.)

 

[chevelleROCKER]

^Well I'd be just happy to do that aswell... But my driveway is all rock =[ My road is very long and has a lot of hills, so I don't exactly know how fun it would be.

 

[Charizard★]

I used to but now it seems like people in my hood don't skate anymore lol xD

 

[.little monster]

In my opinion, I'd rather roller blade than skateboard..maybe that's because I like my face intact..so I don't.

 

[Citrinin]

I once tried to skateboard.

I failed miserably. XD;

 

[jaimelectric]

I skate sometimes. I've been doing it off and on for about seven years, so I'm pretty good. I've got a couple of different boards and a huge kit of parts for hybriding, but I usually stick with 'Klondike'. Klondike is my Baker, and has my favorite trucks on her. (:


We have one of the best skate parks here, too.
Skatepark of Tampa ftw.
