Skateboarding: Kick Push and Fall

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

:rofl:

"Do a barrel roll!"



Niggas are wild off of that Tony Hawk game.

Anyway where were you at?

(As a side note,I'm trying to find a place that has Kamen Rider Kabuto).Weather was good for a Chicago winter I guess.

forgive for I do not remember which side of town i was on :p but it was like around some 79th street? I went to like this burger shack called "Baba's" I got a fish sandwich and some cheese fries....



anyone ever rode some halocore wheels?

[Biolink]

Oh 79th.That's reasonably close to me.Just 5 minute train ride.

What you were doing all the way out here?Got family living out here?

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

Oh 79th.That's reasonably close to me.Just 5 minute train ride.

What you were doing all the way out here?Got family living out here?

oh I was out here with my youth group giving some drum lessons to the kids at a local church (shiloh).

I come out here alot when I mean alot I mean ALOT. Yes I have a shitload of family out here too. especially on summer weekends we come up alot too...


whoa just 5 mins:looney:...

whoa just 5 mins:looney:...

How you get out here?Folks drive you?

And damn man.You doing it big :rofl:

Good that you give back though.Especially to these kids.Were they receptive to your teachings?

5 minutes to get to the actual 79th Street,but I don't know how far down that street you are talking(The street goes down quite a ways).

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

^ yeah my folks drive me. Ill be getting my license next month anyways...

:lol: i guess I am


yeah the kids are some pretty good learners they listen attentively and stuff and pick up stuff really good. I should teach em to skate.

[Biolink]

Just what I was thinking,though we wouldn't have enough Completes.

When you get your license,you think you'll be getting a car or something?Cuz your folks are cool as hell if they allow you to drive like an hour out here to Chicago.

[tindiamond]

Finally I could almost get 360 flips. It just need to flip it more and I got them.

[Biolink]

That's good.Real good

[Biolink]

Mike Mo got a new line out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY0t1pqDN3w

Be prepared to be disappointed at the end though

[tindiamond]

That's a good line of flat tricks but he should of gone for something on those steps or handrail.

[tsukihimeblood]

yeah the kids are some pretty good learners they listen attentively and stuff and pick up stuff really good. I should teach em to skate.

do it, one of the most rewarding experiences i've ever had. our high school required us to do like 40 hours or so of community service in order to graduate and i was lucky enough to be able to be in charge of the skate club at the middle school. every tues + thurs after school i'd go down and we'd all just skate in the school parking lot and i'd help the kids learn stuff.

on a side note i'm going to be picking up rollerblading again this spring. don't know why i stopped, thinking back it was just as fun as skateboarding.

[Biolink]

The steps at the end?

Cops and/or random people were at the bottom of the stairs.

[tindiamond]

They were cops? I didn't notice. I just watched it really quick. I'll watch it again later.

[Biolink]

At the end there were people kind of close to the bottom of the stairs

[Biolink]

Rollerblading is fun.I do respect those guys a lot,because if you bail,most of the time you are going down hard(Depending on what you do).

[AmbiguousCrosup]

I got my backside flips down sick now. I'm so happy!

[Biolink]

I got my backside flips down sick now. I'm so happy!

What does it look like?

And Mikey said this at the end

"When I finally get here, theres a cop waiting for me at the end!.."

Sean Malto got his line in though :rofl:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPkliTvLm4U

[AmbiguousCrosup]

It's a 180 kickflip. I skate normal so it's a 180 and a kickflip where I rotate my body to the right.

[Biolink]

So you just kickflip and rotate your entire body 180 degrees,or does the board go180 as well?

[AmbiguousCrosup]

yeah both your body follows the board. I would find a video for you but youtube is blocked here at work. just search for backside flip or 180 kickflip.

[Biolink]

Ah I see.

So after you land that move you would start SKating Goofy.

[otter]

Mike Mo's flips are pretty amazing. Check out that STOMP!


I can't do backside flips at all. Turning backside all the way is so wierd to me, yet front boards feel really natural to me....sillyness.

[Biolink]

Yeah some of that stuff does feel pretty funny.

I'm just more afraid of busting my head open.Yesterday I bailed pretty fucking hard trying to ollie.

[tindiamond]

What did you try to ollie Bio?

It took me awhile to learn backside flips. I just recently got them down. I just changed my back foot position and it felt alot easier.

[Biolink]

I was just TRYING to ollie inside of my house.I couldn't successfully do one AND I freaking bailed hard at the same time :sad:

I need to Skate a lot more.Get accustomed to moving fast.I Skate goofy so first I am going to get accustomed to that stance,and then Skate Regular and try to get used to skating that.

Then learn kick turning,reverts,and manuals before I go on to Ollies I guess.
---
Oh and do you have to wax a rail in order to grind it?

[AmbiguousCrosup]

/\ Rails no, concrete ledges, yes.

[tindiamond]

I see lol

Well I recommend waxing it. You have to test it out first to see if it slides or not. If it doesn't then you wax it up. A little bit of wax never hurts.

[Biolink]

Where can I get wax?

Or can I just make that shit(And if I can ingredients?)

[AmbiguousCrosup]

I use scented candles.

[Biolink]

Just a big jar of Wax,scoop the stuff out,and then apply it to the surface?

[tindiamond]

Just use a regular candle and it should work fine. Unless you want to waste money and buy some Ledge Butter or Pig Wax.

[Biolink]

Okay.

Can anyone explain the Nollie to me?

[tindiamond]

This video will explain it alot better than I can. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=B-QPhI8Be7A)

[Biolink]

Thanks for the vid

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

Just use candles seriously go to the dollar store and get a whole bunch of em

[Biolink]

So damn they are actually required.

So for example if I wanted to slide on an ordinary curb,I would need wax.

Thank God I found that out first,lest I snap by board

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

yeah it helps alot.
unless you want your trucks to look like a zoid took a bite out of it :wasted:

[Biolink]

yeah it helps alot.

Randomness

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

:rofl:

Randomness

yep :lol:

today at school this girl came up to me and was like "you skateboard?" and I was like yeah :wgrin:

















randomness ftw

[tindiamond]

lol I remember once this chick was like "If I buy you a skateboard, will you date me?" like WTF?!?!?

[Biolink]

yep :lol:

today at school this girl came up to me and was like "you skateboard?" and I was like yeah :wgrin:

















randomness ftw

She wants to choke your chicken

lol I remember once this chick was like "If I buy you a skateboard, will you date me?" like WTF?!?!?

LMAO :rofl:

Was she cute?I would have gotten me a Girl complete.

Can someone tell me what an Ollie Bigspin is?

[hawaiigamer142]

Man I've been trying to tell my friend that chicks dig skaters, but no...he'd rather not listen to me.

Also, I've heard amongst my friends who skate that people who skate goofy (I suppose who are also naturally right handed/footed) have a hard time doing kickflips. This is kind of true with me, I have a really hard time getting a nice clean kickflip, but heelflips are no problem. Anyone else?

[tsukihimeblood]

Can someone tell me what an Ollie Bigspin is?

isn't that just a regular bigspin.. but with an OLLIE?:wgrin:

like a 360 pop shuv-it and 180 body variable going the same way as the board
really easy to do fakie

[tindiamond]

Man I've been trying to tell my friend that chicks dig skaters, but no...he'd rather not listen to me.

Eh, she was ok I guess. But I felt bad for her so I said no. All my friends were like "Just go out with her, get a free board then leave the bitch." I just didn't want to take advantage of her like that. lol

I kind of understand what you mean. I have friends that are goofy and they have a hard ass time doing frontside flips but backside flips, they have that shit on lock. For everyone else that skates regular, we all have frontside flips but can't backside flip for shit. Idk, its weird, I learned switch backside flips before I could regular backside flip.

I just remember that there was going to be a skate comp back in my home town. Thinking of entering it. I'll probably go for it. Fuck it.

[Biolink]

What does a pop shuv-it crooks look like?

[otter]

I have friends that are goofy and they have a hard ass time doing frontside flips but backside flips, they have that shit on lock. For everyone else that skates regular, we all have frontside flips but can't backside flip for shit.


That's exactly right :rofl:

When I was comming up I had one good friend I would skate with and I am regular and he is goofy. I could only front board and he could only backside board. I could frontside 180 and he could back. He could only do backside 50-50s and I was the opposite. It made it really hard to skate spots together.

Frontside flips were one of the first tricks I learned, it's always been one of my favorites. I remember looking in magazines for weeks after I landed it to find out what it was called.

[tindiamond]

lol It's crazy.

[Black Chanler]

Whoever does the production for the LRG skate videos do a good job making the sport look fun without the toilet humor that is in a lot of other skate related vids.

Yeah looks hella fun.I hear Barca is like a haven for many Skaters.Good spots and the people don't really sweat you as much.Would have loved to be their with them.

[hawaiigamer142]

Eh, she was ok I guess. But I felt bad for her so I said no. All my friends were like "Just go out with her, get a free board then leave the bitch." I just didn't want to take advantage of her like that. lol

Man that's so true. I have backside flips on lock, but I can't frontside flip/hardflip for shit. :arazz:

[Biolink]

So a Frontside Flip is a hard flip,and you body turns 180 degrees?


And can anyone tell me what a Pop shuv-it crooks looks like?

[tindiamond]

lol It happens. I'm currently learning backside 360's. I got the 270 down but damn that extra 90 degrees.

I couldn't find a pop shuv it crooks on youtube. :(

[Biolink]

Aw crud.

And you say Backside 360's,so do you skate reg or goofy?

[Biolink]

If any of you are going to buy something from www.Utilityboardsupply.com type in

VIP15

When it asks you for a coupon and you will get 15% off of anything you buy.

[tindiamond]

Awesome thanks for the code.

I skate regular.

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

Bio you reg or goofy?

[Biolink]

Regular feels so funky.I bet I could do it with more practice though.

I skate Goofy btw.

How good do you guys do out of the switch?

[tindiamond]

I do pretty good switch but my switch grinds are weak though.

[Biolink]

Hmmm.

How are your switch ollies,kicks,and heels?

[hawaiigamer142]

Frontside flip is just a shortened name for frontside 180 kickflip, so yes you turn your body 180 degrees front side. What's really dope is when people can get the frontside flip to spin vertically, looks sick! :tup:

[Biolink]

So as a goofy skater I would kickflip and then torn my body 180 degrees to the right for a frontside flip,and if I was regular I would kickflip and roatate my body 180 degrees to the left.

No?

[tindiamond]

They are fine. I mostly have problems with my switch heels.

I wish my frontside flips looked like that. lol

You're right Bio.

[Biolink]

Cool.Kind of figured that.

As far TreFlips are concerned.If the board goes a different way will it be called a different move?

What about kick and heel flips?

If I am goofy and do a kickflip the board is supposed to rotate to the right I think,and I think to the left for a heelflip?

[AmbiguousCrosup]

So a Frontside Flip is a hard flip,and you body turns 180 degrees?


And can anyone tell me what a Pop shuv-it crooks looks like?

Frontside Flip:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=UyCHyFTY0OY

[tindiamond]

A kickflip rotates towards you, and a heelflip rotates away from you. That's the best way to recognize them.


Check out 2:52, that's a pop shuv it crook (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Bos4GRiOBXs)

[Biolink]

Frontside Flip:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=UyCHyFTY0OY

Those are some good flips.

A kickflip rotates towards you, and a heelflip rotates away from you. That's the best way to recognize them.

That's a bit hard to understand.

So for example if I was goofy,a kickflip would be anything that that went to the left of me,and a heelflip would be to the right of me.If I was regular a Kickflip would be to the right of me and a heelflip would be to the left?

Thanks for the video btw.I wonder how you found it

[tindiamond]

lol Idk the way you to put it makes it a little hard for me to understand.

I was trying to remember what video does someone too pop shuv crooks, and Rob D just popped to mind.

[Biolink]

lol Idk the way you to put it makes it a little hard for me to understand.

I was trying to remember what video does someone too pop shuv crooks, and Rob D just popped to mind.

I skate Goofy.

So for example if I kick the board and it rotates to the left of my that would be a kickflip.If I kick the board and it rotates to the right of me,that would be a heelflip?

[J Flo]

Last Friday I skated for a bit and almost landed some tre flips.... It was the last trick I was learning before I quit a couple years ago. I'm gonna try to make it my goal to try and land one by next weekend.

[Biolink]

Land just ONE?

Seems pretty tough

[tindiamond]

He's goofy and that's what a kickflip looks like from the goofy stance. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=a7pu3Okf-IY)

That's a heel from the goofy stance. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=EDOZ5BnNC24) Tony Hawk is the goofy one.

[Biolink]

They look so similar to me

[tindiamond]

Pay close attention to the way they flip. You'll understand a lot better once you start doing them. Don't stress over it too much.

[Biolink]

Yeah.Still studying them.I heard that to untrained eyes they do look alike.

Anyway those kids ever respond back to you,about the Skate spot :rofl:?

[tindiamond]

Oh nah, they haven't said shit. Bunch of pussies. lol

I met up with some other guys that skate. One is like crazy good. Heelflip indie grabbed this huge ass 8 and kickflip roastbeef them.

[Biolink]

What's an indie grab and what's a roastbeef :rofl:

[final_cut]

Kickflip roast beef? Is that dude like Dhalsim or something?

[tindiamond]

lol nah, idk how this dude does it.

[Biolink]

?

Roastbeef?

[jimmy1200]

so i was just skating to safeway, and some dude that i passed at the bar was like, what kind of board is that, i said, i dont know, its been a while, and he said, you dont know what kind of board it is, and i said, nah, been a while. wtf

i got it over the summer trying to get back into skating, but it got cold obviously, and i have not gotten the chance to get back on, and i didnt have alot of time to do it over the summer, but i do enjoy just hopping on my board and cruising around sometimes. no tricks or anything, just enjoying the ride. maybe he didnt mean much by it, but i dont feel like im an asshole for not remembering the manufacturer of my board. are skaters still on some kiddie shit, like, you dont know your board, what a noob, poser. come on. some people do flat, some vert, some street, and hell, i like to just cruise, enjoy the breeze and the freedom. i would love to be rodney mullen, but im not, and its just not one of my dreams, or wants, to be the best skater. no big.

i just feel like him saying, you dont know, was suppose to make me feel like an asshole for riding a board and not knowing the manufacturer, like im not true to da game because of that. i support, and supported my local skate shops. but whatev, those are stupid cards to pull. i just had a moment where i thought for a second, is this dude on some early/mid 90's bullshit, like if i cant grind a rail, know every name for every move, and every manufacturer in the world, im lame, and posing.

its all good though. whatev

its a zero thomas board by the way. are there any famous mongol skaters?

[tindiamond]

Roastbeef is a grab. Since you're goofy, you do an ollie and grab the inside of the board with your left hand.

Some people are like that but fuck it. Any famous mongol skaters....hmmm none come to mind right now. If you ever look at older skate footage, you'll notice some of them pushing mongol if I remember correctly.

[Biolink]

An Indy Grab?

[tindiamond]

An indy grab is you ollie then grab the outside part of the board with your left hand if your goofy.

[erikstanton]

are there any famous mongol skaters?

its mongo btw. and not really. the only time youll ever see someone push mongo is if they are riding switch and need to push. its a bad habit to push mongo in a regular stance.

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

indies are fun

[Biolink]

An indy grab is you ollie then grab the outside part of the board with your left hand if your goofy.

Just touch the wheel part?

[erikstanton]

back hand to front of the deck.

[final_cut]

I don't even know the kind of board I'm riding half the time, thats not lame. I mean I don't really spend money to buy boards too often but even if I did, I don't think it's that weird. I think when you get older you stop caring about that stuff, cuz they all seem the same after a while.

[erikstanton]

I don't even know the kind of board I'm riding half the time, thats not lame. I mean I don't really spend money to buy boards too often but even if I did, I don't think it's that weird. I think when you get older you stop caring about that stuff, cuz they all seem the same after a while.

yeah if youre just riding around it really doesnt matter.

everything else is just preference. i dont give a shit what my skateboard looks like, as long as it feels like how i want it to feel.

[tindiamond]

How's the weather guys?

I think I'm going to start skating my Birdhouse already, fuck it. My almost is all beat up and the tail almost has no pop.

[final_cut]

Too hot to skate.

It was too cold to skate over the weekend.

[AzN_Skater]

Still snow on the ground. ><!

[tindiamond]

That sucks guys.

This is Bio in a couple of years. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3pdy41xr08&feature=related)

[final_cut]

It's all good cuz TAMPAAAAAAAAAAA
is in 2 weeks!

[Biolink]

That sucks guys.

This is Bio in a couple of years. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3pdy41xr08&feature=related)

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

This guy was probably another baby skater that started like super early though :sad:

Dude's got some style though.

Those Nollie heelflips(I think a few of those were nollie heels) to grinds were sick.

AND YES NIGGAS!!!!1!!

Tampa Pro in two weeks!

Depending on my college situation hope I can make it down there next year,though doubtful since my parents won't just let me abandon school,especially when they'll be paying for the tuition and most of my stuff.

With any luck I can find some like minded people and we can make the trip down there

[tindiamond]

Tampa!!! Do you guys know who's competing this year? Pro and Am?

[Biolink]

As much as I am on Skateboard forums.Nope.

Who's that hippie guy with the red afro that rips every year though?Would be nice to see him

[tindiamond]

The only person I can think of is Jason Dill.

[final_cut]

I don't think I've ever seen Dill skate at tampa. Judd Heald maybe? He has curly hair thats like dirty blonde, he always launches out to nosepics on the railings and shit. always doing really big stuff. Only one I can think of. Tampa AM is already done, son!

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

I wanna go to tampa am :sad:

on the good side skate season has officially started today for me. no snow on the ground I just came back from a little session. ill be out again later too.

this is me except with waaaay tighter jeans on. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQklGvvX6Dc)

[tindiamond]

That was one sick ass part.

Epicly Later'd: Jason Dill (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT_Kljydo5A) He seems like a cool dude.

[Biolink]

I don't think I've ever seen Dill skate at tampa. Judd Heald maybe? He has curly hair thats like dirty blonde, he always launches out to nosepics on the railings and shit. always doing really big stuff. Only one I can think of. Tampa AM is already done, son!

Yeah Judd Heald.

Damn I haven't heard of the madness this year.

And yeah Dill rips.My speakers are broken so I can't hear what he's saying,but I've watched tons of other videos of him when my speakers were working,and he's damn good.

[hawaiigamer142]

Shit I landed like a half frontside flip today. I'll be even more stoked if I could only get that last 90 degrees to turn... =P

[tindiamond]

I use to have the same problem. Watch this video and it will help shit loads.

Andrew Reynolds the king of frontside flips. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=XgmLV-7srMI)

[erikstanton]

I use to have the same problem. Watch this video and it will help shit loads.

Andrew Reynolds the king of frontside flips. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=XgmLV-7srMI)

yeah once you put your back foot down more, like youre gonna front shuv its so much easier.

[tindiamond]

That was a good part.

Does anyone have any footage of themselves they are willing to share?

[otter]

Andrew Reynolds has always been my favorite, simple shit done right.

[Biolink]

Basik_Teknik so he had footage of himself on others people's camera.

I might need me a camera too.Cuz remember people.If it ain't on camera,it never happened.

[tindiamond]

Reynolds and Saari have been my favorite skaters since I started skating.

lol If it ain't on camera, it never happened. Some of my friends are like that.

[Biolink]

Arto Saari?

And yeah that's going to be a new policy of mine whenever I team up with some more guys.

[tindiamond]

Yeah Arto Saari, haha.

All bad ass lol

I just started skating my birdhouse and I love it. It feels wayyyyyyyy better than my Almost.

[Biolink]

Does it feel any different?

[tindiamond]

I feel a difference in the pop and the shape. It just feels a lot more comfortable. :)

[Biolink]

How much it cost you?

[tindiamond]

36 bux, got it on sell at Active.

[Biolink]

Not bad Tindia.

Can you skate good Street with those decks though?An anonymous website told me they are better for Vert

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

me and some buddies might make a little skate vid soon :wgrin:

[Biolink]

me and some buddies might make a little skate vid soon :wgrin:

Soon :amazed:

It's still kind of cold.

What's the coldest that you would go outside?

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

Soon :amazed:

It's still kind of cold.

What's the coldest that you would go outside?

yep it is still cold :sad:
im not sure when the coldest I go out :p
but we usually just hit up a session after school in the indoor parks.
Today I was in Grand Rapids michigan and I went to the mall there and guess what they have this huge ass indoor park in the freaking mall!

[Biolink]

Indoor Amusement Park or Indoor Skatepark?

And you guys have indoor parks close to you? :P

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

Indoor Amusement Park or Indoor Skatepark?

And you guys have indoor parks close to you? :P

indoor skatepark.
yeah I have an indoor park close to me :wgrin:

[Biolink]

indoor skatepark.
yeah I have an indoor park close to me :wgrin:

Lucky bastage.

Is it close enough to walk?

And did you bring your board with you when you were in Grand Rapids?

And I've finally found me a good Skatepark that I know how to get to :woot:

Hope the guys would be willing to teach me.

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

I guess it could be close enough to walk to or skate too :wgrin:

nope I didn't bring my board but luckily they had rentals ftw

there are random folks here and there that are willing to help

[tindiamond]

Yeah I could skate street with it.

I was trying to make a skate video but I have no time and no one to him me record. I just got a couple of tricks on tape. Hopefully I'll get more footage during spring break.

[Biolink]

I guess it could be close enough to walk to or skate too :wgrin:

nope I didn't bring my board but luckily they had rentals ftw

How was the flow of the park and where there other people there?

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

How was the flow of the park and where there other people there?

the flow was decent I guess about 20 people. there was about 7 teens my age and the rest were younger and about 2 or 5 grown folks.

[Biolink]

What kind of Board did you get?

And did you talk to any of the other guy's there?

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

What kind of Board did you get?

And did you talk to any of the other guy's there?

it was a reddish blank deck. look like it had some mob grip. everything else was generic.
yeah a few folks were friendly. but most skateparks I go to people are really social.


I need to take my black behind to bed. feel free to ask much questions. ill get back at ya.

[Biolink]

Peace Alo

[OJ4]

mike mo is the sickest flatground skater as of now

[Biolink]

Yes I agree.

I want him to torch Sheckler to shut all of his fangirls up.

[OJ4]

Yes I agree.

I want him to torch Sheckler to shut all of his fangirls up.




i actually like sheckles but dont like the fangirls and boys. i guess he can appeal to the younger generation.

i never was a fan of bam, even when he was on toy machine, before jackass and all that jazz.

i was a fan of rob dyrek before he got the show.

but sheckles gets overlooked because of the stupid y generation.

...mike mo still has a beasting style

[Biolink]

I can't stand Sheckler sorry.

Sick skater.

I can't stand his ME AGAINST THE WORLD personality,which they say he acted like even before the show started(So I guess he is a consistent jackass).

A reputed member over at Skaterscafe said that Sheckler knocked him off of his board and didn't even blink an eye.Later on he returned the favor to Sheckler,and then Sheckler started cursing and making a scene.

[OJ4]

yeah his personality is kind weird, i agree with that.

[tindiamond]

Sheckler is good as fuck, but since he started his show. He came out more like a pussy. Crying over girls and stuff.

lol What did that dude at skatercafe do? He should of popped him on.

[Biolink]

Sheckler is good as fuck, but since he started his show. He came out more like a pussy. Crying over girls and stuff.

He said that he intentionally bumped Sheckler off of his board

Then he said Sheckler got up all like

"Dude What the fuck is your problem?"

"Dude WTF was that?!"

"Do you know who I am?"

All the while everybody else that was Skating is watching it go down,so maybe a few walked away with bad impressions of the Skaterscafe member even though,Sheckler knocked him off of his board earlier and kept on riding.

Im remember when he was like 7 years old...crazy stuff...

[Black Chanler]

Sheckler has too much money to be a bitch over these girls IMO, if I was a pro skater I'm going smack at Rosario Dawson or the bitch from smallville. Fuck them neighborhood girls.

I hate how my skateshop closes at 7, what kind of gay shit is that?

fuckin 6:00 for me :arazz:

[tindiamond]

lol shit, I would of fucken popped him one. Just cuz he's a professional skater doesn't mean shit. You still have to respect the people around you.

Exactly Chanler, he can probably even get himself one of those nice Asian chicks from Japan or a Spanish chick from Spain.

[Biolink]

Does Skateshop=Skatepark?

If not does the Skateshop double as a hangout spot or something :rofl:

I can't stand that guy.He's whining over Girls next door types when he could be pullind Super models.Ugghhhhhhhhhh.He rips it too,but god I can't stomach him.

[OJ4]

yeah true, like hes a good skater, cant knock him for that. but that show really is making him look stupid

Ah.Well 7:00 for me.That's roughly when all the fun of the day begins.

[tindiamond]

In our skate shop, the owner would let us skate this box and quarter pipe in the back room late at night. He was kool as fuck, and he was pretty damn good at skating himself.

[final_cut]

You know, I never watched that sheckler show, but people clown that guy so hard. Is he really all that lame? I mean back in the day people were cool to him, like Schaffer at the park, cuz his mom would hang out in the booth, so sketch. Those enjoi ads were kind of harsh, talking about his back tattoo and all that, but like 6 years ago, like 10 of the top pros had the same shit, like Jamie Thomas, etc. I mean he probably is a lil shit but whatever. I used to know his filmer, didn't seem to think he was all that bad.

I've watched Rob and Big, though and somehow that show trips me out. I mean it seems really gay when I tell people about it. But those guys just have personality. Half of this reality shit on tv is either people being retardedly dramatic about stuff, or trying to be a rock star.

and about sheckler. they made a ad dissing him?

[Isaiah7]

Soon :amazed:

It's still kind of cold.

What's the coldest that you would go outside?

We got some nice weather coming all this week, it was in the high 40s today. I plan on taking advantage and heading the parks up.

You watch his show and decide

It's not really my cup of tea.More like Teenage drama.I could see how some Girl's could get into it I guess.I watched two episodes,and the only reason I would watch any more episodes is to stare at his milf mom.

It's just the way this guy acts I guess.It's like he wants everybody to hate him,and so we hate him even more.

Rob&Big on the other hand is quality of TV.Those guys have crazy chemistry.

[OJ4]

shecklers show is like a skater version of the hills. lol its filled with him going thru his parents divorce and him having girl troubles, trying to spend time with brothers. etc.

and rob and big show on the other hand is much more entertaining, like biolink said, their chemistry is great.

[OJ4]

I can't stand Sheckler sorry.

a very long time ago. on fuel tv their was a show that mike vallely had called "drive" and he ran into sheckler and he telling mike how ppl hate on him and dont like in in the industry. and that was when he was younger than he is now.

i guess he feels that he gets no respect cause of his age, but theirs other youngins that get respect *coughs* sean malto *coughs* nyjah huston.

[hawaiigamer142]

Rob and Big is fucking good. They're so hilarious; I always crack up when they use their catch phrases in every and any situation they're in.

And Sheckler is a dope skater...but everyone is right about his show. It sucks balls. To put it in critic terms, he's a dry character and isn't dynamic at all. The WORST part of the show is his FUCKING BORING MONOTONE NARRATION.

Anyway, getting close to getting my frontside flip.:lovin:

Oh and also, when I was in Cali for Christmas, I hit up this mall in Orange County (I think) and behind the Van's store they had a really big skatepark. Think anyone can remember the name of this mall? I'd like to look it up.

Back in my home town our shop would just play skate videos all day and they had couches and shit. When we actually did buy something the prices were kind of random cause the owner was always high.

[AzN_Skater]

I think winter is finally over up here! Couple more weeks and it should be the start of another skate season for me. So happy.

[OJ4]

our skateshop here is a hang out spot. and the skatepark runs alot of events to help the scene aswell.

its called cardinal skateshop, its owned by kyle berard and his family.

Hmmm,Mike Vallely.That guy is angry.

Anyway yep their are other Young Skaters that are liked.It's just his shit personality IMO

[tindiamond]

Mike Vallely is nuts. I love watching the video of him beating up those guys in the parking lot.

[Biolink]

Yeah that one was classic.They called him a Skater *** or something.Then the rest is history

[tindiamond]

His no-complies are god like. I think it's Labels Kills when he just hauls ass down the street just doing random shit, shuvs, no complies, boneless. I thought it was pretty tight.

[Biolink]

What does a No-Comply and Boneless look like?

So yeah,we are finally getting decent weather.Tomorrow I may go out.Bout time...

[tindiamond]

That's awesome dude. I haven't skated in 3 days because I've had tests all week. I can't imagine not skating for months and shit.

[erikstanton]

got nollie bigspins, switch back 180 down yesterday.

almost got fakie front bigspin.

[Black Chanler]

sprained my wrist trying to learn some freestyle moves, so im out of commission.

[tindiamond]

That sucks man, you can still skate though. Just don't fall on that wrist and you'll be fine.

[hawaiigamer142]

I tried a no-comply for the first time in my life and now I've got bruises on my shin. Haha. Fuck Mike V making it look so easy...

[tindiamond]

lol I hate it when my friends bust them out during SKATE.

[Biolink]

No Compy's look tight

[tsukihimeblood]

Oh and also, when I was in Cali for Christmas, I hit up this mall in Orange County (I think) and behind the Van's store they had a really big skatepark. Think anyone can remember the name of this mall? I'd like to look it up.

oh man, i went there while i was in cali too a few years back. that place is great. can't remember the name though :confused:

[ShinAkumax]

Tindiamon & Biolink, thank you very much.

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

ahh today was a good day.

[noober]

i brought a complete today, i dont know if i still want to skate. (been skating for years thou)

[hawaiigamer142]

oh man, i went there while i was in cali too a few years back. that place is great. can't remember the name though :confused:

I can't believe I forgot the name cause I remember initially thinking "WTF is this place we're going to?" It's called Block of Orange.

I also bought my current Enjoi board from a shop there and took it with me on the plane home to Hawaii. I landed my first tre flip and backside flip with that thing. :lovin:

[Biolink]

When does Tampa Pro start?

I wish it was televised.

Freaking World Series of Poker and The Spelling Bee can be televised,but not an actual sporting event :mad:

[final_cut]

Practice starts friday, rider's meeting and prelims are saturday, I believe. vert in ybor is also saturday (night).
I think it's as televised as they want it to be, and I don't think they would really want to consider it a 'sporting event'. Just the way those guys are, I mean I pretty much agree, the last thing we need is another xgames/gravity games-type of event.

[Biolink]

:sad:

So the Street tourny I am assuming is Sunday?

[otter]

And even when they show X-games/Gravity stuff on TV they refuse to show street. Back in the day I use to watch that shit all day and they would just give me one clip of Ryan Sheckler and then it's back to vert :mad:

[Biolink]

Now that I think about it...That is true as fuck.

I can only ever recall seeing Vert skating when the X-Games are on with a random amazing Street clip thrown in.Why won't they put Street stuff on?

[Darkside3024]

Any good videos been released lately?

[Mr PH]

How were you guy's first halfpipe/ramp experience. It feels so weird going backwards after going up.

[final_cut]

:sad:

street is friday saturday and sunday. friday is just practice.

[final_cut]

How were you guy's first halfpipe/ramp experience. It feels so weird going backwards after going up.

I did a roll in on a ramp because I was too scared to drop in. Please note, this is a big mistake because the roll in is there so you can go WAY FASTER. lol. Concussion! but the only problem I have going fakie is when I come at the wall too crooked, then I fuck myself up trying to straighten out at the lip. I don't think I ever really had a problem going straight backward though.

[Biolink]

So all of it takes place this week if I am Correct?

Depending on how long I get out for Spring Break in College(Do College students even get Spring Break?)I'll definitely be able to go next year.

The naked 540 guy should be classic.

When you ollie, as soon as you pop, pull your feet up as high as you can, especially your back foot. Graze your nipple with your knee, you'll be the next Donger in no time. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but once you learn to pull your feet up and how to pop your board to stick to them, your good.

"Pop Shove-its" require an ollie, but I mean you can just scoop your foot without even really popping your tail to do a shove it. sometimes if I do them as a setup thing, I notice that my wheels are skidding around against the ground before I land on it. but if you are doing that trick over something, then yeah, you definitely need to ollie.

jesus those flips are so shit, you will get ragged on so hard if you go to a contest doing a hardflip like that, between your legs. I have a friend who is sooo good, but this is his fav. trick and he just won't quit doing these things the ugliest way possible. He had a perfect run at tampa pro a couple of years ago, but didn't place at all, because he 'donkey flipped' them. (I guess clyde singleton made up that term on the microphone). Seriously, he hardflipped over the pyramid, frontside pop shuvs on the roll in (half of a hardflip, lol), k grind the box, setup 5050 on the quarter, up the platform, backside lip on the handrail, donkey ass frontside flip on the quarter, donkey hardflip to 5050. That is a whole lotta ASS. If you replaced all those hardflips with just regular kickflips, you got yourself an ok run.

I mean... skate how you want to, but popping your board straight up and flipping it over neither hard or hardflip, and people will criticize you for it if you try to brag about it or do it in a contest. I did them that way for a while too.

Yeah, if your nose is grazing your nutsack, yer doin it wrong. haha

yeah I feel bad about talking about people's style so much, because there is so much more to skateboarding than just doing what the pros do, the way they do it. I got ragged on pretty bad for donkey flipping a fs flip in a contest though, so I just started trying to do them differently.

Just think of it, you're doing a frontside pop shove, then a kickflip at the same time. so technically, there is no reason for the board to be up there in your groin.

[hawaiigamer142]

Hmm haha that last sentence is a good point.

I can't get the board vertical anyway, at least when I attempt my frontside flips. My board goes parallel to the ground.

[noober]

you flip the board when its going up. thats all

are your kickflips mob? like you flick down instead of flicking up.

watch andrew reynolds.

[tindiamond]

I had a hard day at the office.

I FUCKEN HATE PRIMO! lol

[Mr PH]

I've been practicing those kickflips, its been random though. Sometimes it does the full spin and sometimes it barely spins. Whats the cause that effects the spin of the board?

Also need help on those 180s. =[

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

ahhh the 180 I learned that in 20 minutes.
ok when you do your ollie and turn make sure your shoulders are aligned with the board. It helps alot. are you having trouble just getting the 180 turn as a whole?

[Mr PH]

Yeah as a whole. I want to learn kickflips and 180s because I think 180 kickflips look nice.

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

lol any one in so cal need a complete.

willing to ship? :wgrin:


hmmm alot of that power that goes into the turn is from the swiveling of your upper body. (let me think on how to explain it)

Finally starting to thaw out here, 45-50 out now. Hopefully family will leave early enough today so I can go for a skate later.

Do they allow random skaters to go out there inbetween after each Heat?

yeah

[Biolink]

yeah

Oh :rofl:

That's cool I guess

[tindiamond]

WTF?!?!?! I was getting switch hardflips. They're easier than what it seems. lol

[final_cut]

Just got back home from tampa. Results as far as I can tell:

1. Greg Lutzka
2. John Rattray
3. Mike Peterson (my homie from J-Ville!!!)

Best Trick:
1. Adam Dyett, showing up with a hangover at 2 pm and ripping the rail to shit.

Vert:
I don't know anything about this occasion.

In my opinion, John rattray should've gotten 1st. He fucking ripped, and did twice as many tricks in his run. Sheckler was bad ass as well, so was Jereme Rogers and Erik Koston. Billy Marks did a 3 flip to noseslide up the rail, Kyle Berard didn't do so well but had an awesome first run with a huge disaster onto the vert wall. I'll post more when I get the chance.

For me, the weekend was mostly shitty. Got 2 nails in a tire, used google maps to NOT find a tire kingdom to have it fixed, almost missed band of horses, and had to bail out Nate Johnson from jail, but antuwon dixon is still waiting to make bail in the county jail. The whole contest went well, and so many top-tier pros were there. Matt Beach, Jereme Rogers, my new best friend Brian Anderson. good shit.

Not really random skaters, just people in the contest. usually everyone rushes the course on the last trick of someone else's run, they have around 15 to 20 seconds to skate before they call the next guy. It's the only way to stay loose when waiting on your run, really. Seems disrespectful, but there isn't really much you can do to stop it.

I haven't skated in a long time. I skated all growing up. I was pretty good at one point in time. Nothing bigger than local shops for sponsors (which boils down to discounts, more or less), but then at age 19, I fucked myself up pretty bad. Started filming a lot more around that time, and probably because of that, started doing much bigger shit. Long story short, I wasn't quite good enough for handrails and huge sets, and I ruined my back. Still aches all the damn time, 7 years later. Or worse, it goes completely out on me. Not to mention my wrist and my knee, which I fucked up pretty bad as well.

But I still miss skating. And I watch videos from time to time to torture myself. I saw the "This Is My Element" video not too long ago, though, and it made feel better about quitting. Especially when I saw what this 12 year old was doing:

My fucking goodness. His style isn't perfect, but that shit is just ridiculous.

I also saw the more recent DVS video, and Jason Dill is still killing it. He's always been one of my favorites. Glad to see he's still at it.

[OJ4]

jason dill is serious business, i just got finished watching a video part from him. the dude is too sick.

[bear]

For sure. I love his style.

And Marc Johnson is another favorite. His part in "Fully Flared" is so good it's disgusting.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGob8hKF6f8

And his style is dead on. He makes crazy shit look simple.

[BaSiK_TeKniK]

same here.

[Biolink]

Nyjah is only 10 or 11 years old?Whhhhhhhhhhat?

Anyway going to the outdoor Skatepark today.

I know next to nothing at all.

Wish me luck.

EDIT

I just looked at a closeup of Nyjah and breifed over a 2006 interview with him,and he had just turned 12 years old then,which would make him 13 or 14 now.He looks like a grownass man from far away to me.

Which one? the one on the lakefront or the one in Wilsone Avenue?

[tindiamond]

Go Bio! Have fun man.

[Black Chanler]

I wish there was free public skateparks around my way :-(

[Biolink]

I went to the one on Wilson.It's up North.You can see Lake Michigan from there.The other one that is by the Lake is Burnham,and that Skatepark is gay from what I have heard.Do you do any Skating?

Go Bio! Have fun man.

I did.Believe me.

I wish there was free public skateparks around my way :-(

That sucks man.I did travel a minute to get to this Park,but it wasn't too bad I suppose.

Anyway my story.You guys can skip right to part 3.I made this for another Chicago local,that I will meeting up with soon.


Anyway I got down to Wilson Skatepark today.Chicago's finest that is Chicago's finest Construction and Maintenance group tried to do everything in their power to make me not go,but it wasn't happening

1)The ride:

It took about an hour or so on the train,a few more minutes or a few less.As I mentioned there was construction going on,so the Train took a few different routes,and was even delayed at some points.I imagine it wouldn't be that bad if Construction wasn't going on.Eventually the train got back on route,a stop or so before Wrigley(The Adison stop I believe).Two stops later I made it to Wilson

2)The Walk:

The Walk wasn't nearly as bad as I had originally thought it would be.I got out of the Train Station,crossed the Street and headed due East towards the Lake.There's restaurants like Popeyes,El Pollo Loco,a McDonalds,a CVS Pharmacy,Bodega's(Corner Stores),a Hospital,and tons of other stuff going on,on Wilson Street.It was about a 8-10 minute walk to the park.The Park is a straight shot,so all you have to do is walk directly East towards the lake,walk under a vidock,and then cross Lake Shore Drive,and the park is right there.Can't miss it because you will see the Skatepark's Lightpole before you even get there.

3)The Park-

I got there at about 10:30(Left 95th Street Redline at about 9:10)

The Park was everything I expected and more.It has two Bowls(Both look like BIG Drops).One of the Bowls has a spine,and some other stuff in it.There is an 8 stair set,two handrails IIRC,Slopes so that you can get Speed,and plenty of Benches all around the park.Really the place is NICE,and has a really sweet flow to it.If you are a beginner,I wouldn't reccomend coming here just yet,but if you don't have problems turning,or keeping your balance or anything like that,then let it rip.

4)The People-

The Skaters there were a lot nicer than expected.It was mostly a lot of older people there with the exception of two little kids that stayed for about an hour.There was one guy that looked like he was in his 40's,dropping in,in one of the bowls.This Black Teen came in about 15 minutes after I did,and let me tell you.This guy was phucking ripping it,which was a shocker to me,because let's be honest.Most Black teens would rather be doing other stuff.Ollieing up the benches and doing Kickflips off of them,and he even nailed a few Tre Flips.There were some guy's in their 20's that came in and they were all cool.Talked with them for a bit.There were also about 6 or 7 BMXers there(I chit you not),and there was an Inline-Skater there as well.At it's peak there were about 18 people there.A security officer came,and walked around.Chatted up with a few people.He seemed pretty chill,because as I mentioned there were about 7 BMXers there,and Bikes aren't supposed to be allowed in the park.

5)My Experience-

As I expected I would, I absolutely stunk.Couldn't do anything.One of the twenty year olds tried to get me to drop in,but I chickened out.He said that it was probably a good thing though,because I can seriously injure myself,especially since I wasn't committing(I didn't have a helmet or any other pads).He said that not too long ago,he got a concussion WITH A HELMET ON.He said that if he didn't have it on,God knows if he would be Hospitalized or even Alive.I tried riding down one of the smaller slopes,and bailed hard as hell {po). Still had tons of fun even though I was the 2nd worst person out there(Behind this little girl 4 or 5 year old girl.Even her brother who had to be about two years older than her,was better than me).

Ended up leaving at about 12:30,so I got about 3 hours in.I could see myself staying longer,but I know next to nothing at all about Skateboarding,so I didn't want to be there just standing in the way.

Yeah.:sad:

It was super rough for me.I'm like a Raw piece of meat out there.I did have hella fun though.
