Ivan Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I used to skate, I still have my skateboard, maybe I'll give it another try someday.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Pie Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I don't skate, but I sometimes watch skateboarding videos from the X-Games and the like. On a serious note, condolences to one of the skateboarding lads out there, James Street, the former voice actor for the Strawberry Shortcake series, who died last year due to a skateboarding accident... May Almighty God bless him and his family... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I skate quite a bit, I can do an ollie and the occasional kickflip. I tried dropping in the other week, I did it but fell off right on my arse after I got to the bottom. My trucks weren't tight enough. Hurt like fuck.

Mpilk901 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I don't really skate anymore but I still like it. Bought a new pair of Fallen the other day and they look pretty sweet. Is it just me or whenever someone learns how to ollie they take a video of "How to ollie". Haha I remember ages ago when I did that, so lame.

My trucks weren't tight enough. Hurt like fuck. Haha, I remember my first time dropping in. It was just 8ft. but when you get on top, it definitely feels higher. Yeah, I just fell forward and now I've got a little scar on my lip. I tried it again though, same day and prevailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all pretty much say to start at the bottom of the ramp and pump back and forth to get use to it before you drop in. I was skateboarding earlier and I'm getting a lot closer to landing the kickflip. I just need to kick a little harder and jump a little higher.

Connor Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Yea but I really don't give a shit if I fall, I just wanted to drop in. It was funny anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I can do it fine now..... I almost did a disaster on my friend Ross's halfpipe which was cool. Idk, my board is officially wrecked these days and it's tough to do anything. The griptape is all dirty from the 4th of July when I was drunk and trying to ride the bmx jumps. Also I was checking out my board today and realized that it's warped?! Wth.... Basically I'm going to get a new board sometime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, since your bored is trashed, what kind of board are you gonna get next? On a side note, out of curiosity, who is your favorite pro skateboarder?

Nate10 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) I've always been in love with Rodney Mullen's Uberlight board but it's fu**ing expensive. I figure I'll look around the internet and see what looks nice... but since I haven't had a birthday party yet coz I've been hellah sick, I've only gotten a couple presents so I wonder if my parents'll pay the $100 for the Uberlight. They probably won't. That would be Corey Duffel, he's one of my favorite skaters but I don't really have A favorite skater. Otherskater I really like are Jerry Hsu, Louie Baraletta, Ernie Torres, Daniel Shimizu, Chris Haslam and Chris Cole and Darrel Stanton but yeah technically I don't have a favorite skater...

Harwood Butcher Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 (edited) It's funny that you mentioned Rodney Mullen's skateboard, because he's my favorite skateboarder. His tricks are fuckin' crazy. EDIT: I'm watching that video you posted of Corey Duffel and it seems like he skates hard, which I admire but I'm not as impressed with hardcore skateboarding than what Rodney Mullen does. His tricks just amaze me. Edited August 12, 2008 by Harwood Butcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Really when I skate, I just mess around in the town centre with my mates, lol once me and my mate got on my skateboard together, and flew right into an advertisement thing at high speed, fucking hurt. xD My mate nearly broke his arm and cut his elbow open.

Nate10 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 It's Hardwood Butcher on yotube xDDDDDDD Anyway, nice video. I've never been told to have it behind my back so I'll try that out...... Lolz at the goofy caveman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harwood Butcher Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 Well hopefully that helps you out. Let me know if it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate10 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Landed a couple cavemans today believe it or not. The 'board behind the back' thing seemed to help I think. Thanks HB. Over the years I might of been able to figure it out but I just hated it A LOT so I just never tried to learn. Tomorrow I think I'm going to see if I can feel comfortable enough doing them and try to caveman off stuff.... Oh and today I learned how to fakie 360 shuv-it pivot.

You're riding fakie, then you do a shuv-it but it rotates 360degrees, then you pivot out.... Just some footy of the 4duos crew out of Texas. Some pretty steezy stuff, and I love the filming.

Mpilk901 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I remember the first time I dropped in, it wasn't a quarter-pipe but just a steep edge to flat. Took me a while to get the balls to do it but I just thought "fuck it!" and went for it. Guess what, I did it! It takes a bit of courage but when you finally feel up to it it's actually not too hard. And if you fail? Dust yourself and try, try and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
