Like I said before, all of the stuff I've read about tailbones is that they actually give you more of a pop. I barely used my one board and it wasn't long before the tail totally grinded off. Certain boards are $50, but the one I want to get is around $70 and it's on sale at the moment. If I have to buy a new skateboard every two years or a tailbone every 3 or 4 months then I'll pay $140+ on skateboards every two years or only $30 to $40 every two years on tailbones. LOL, do you really think I give a shit if people think I'm a "poser skateboarder"? I find it funny that part of your definition of a poser includes having a tailbone on your board. Apparently skills have nothing to do with your "skateboarder status" as long as you pull off the look. I personally don't skateboard to have any particular image, I skateboard to have fun with my friends and I'd rather not spend a whole lot of money to do so.

Is the PC version the same as the console version? I have a way of doing it in Photoshop. You could just have two layers, one being the actual image and the second being a cutout of the piece you want to sort of zoom in. Then you just resize that layer little by little and save the bunch and import them into Image Ready to save them as a GIF image.

Well when I play games I usually have one of my newest CDs in and I remember the games when I listen to those albums. For example: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City ~ Pantera - The Great Southern Trend Kill Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas ~ Slipknot - (self-named album) Resistance/Resistance 2 ~ Mudvayne - Lost and Found & The New Game Sims: Bustin' Out ~ Stabbing Westward - Darkest Days Those are the only ones I could think of...but there are a lot. Sort of an ironic topic because I constantly think about how my albums sort of match up with certain video game I have, whether they fit the game or not.

Why put them away? I'll shoot them in the face or something.

In a sociological perspective, gay marriage isn't considered one of the norms in our society at this particular time. Although, it's not considered a taboo, but more or less in between mores and folkways. I think within the next 10 to 20 years it'll be considered a folkway. "Normal" can be perceived in many different ways depending on our societies culture and the views of those giving such opinions. "Normal" to one person might not be "normal" to another person, so you can't really ask, "What is normal", because "normal" could be many different things. You're view (not definition) on the word "normal" is a very open view and if more people thought that way then I think society would be a hell of a lot better, but society's ignorance doesn't allow certain people to think that way until they're faced with some sort of social conflict such as this.

I think I will...but won't buying a shrink further my problem?

Every day I visit Woot.com to see what they're selling and today they're selling these (shown below). It cost $35 for two of them, plus $5 for shipping. Am I wasting my money? I have a really bad habit of buying a whole shit load of worthless crap. I think I spent around $800 on GTA shit last year...it's pretty pathetic...I think I have a problem.

Yep, I have to do a narrative of some sort, about what I've done and stuff. Most of the thesis' I've had to write were about proving something and later on in the conclusion I had to restate my thesis explaining that the material in the paper proved my point. So a thesis for that might be either proving whether or not the job training was good or bad for you and then throughout the paper you'll have to explain why it was good or bad for you. An example could be, "Job training for this particular job has been a very helpful experience that I feel should be a requirement for those trying to obtain such a job." It's a little wordy and might not be as detailed as the instructor wants, but hopefully that helps you out a little bit. Just keep this in mind...I was horrible in my English classes. So you might want a second opinion/suggestion on this.

It's for my on the job training report. I do have an introduction and some stuff, but I'm still puzzled at filling it up with useful info. Yeah, of course, I won't mention crap in my report, but I'll definitely add you guys to the acknowledgments/special thanks page... Ok, you've already said that it's for your on the job training report, but what is the point of the paper? Do you have to explain what you do, how you did...what?

I think I've seen this before, possibly from a link on here, but I just thought it was hilarious...SO WATCH!!! EDIT: I found another one. Check out 1:29-1:36 FUCKING HILARIOUS!!! Angry Catholic Priest vs Skateboarders

I'd probably have to agree with you. Although, in this case, the design and idea popped in my head before I even started working on the actual image. I think I was watching Rob & Big when I thought of the idea. It was the episode when they made their own cereal box. How creative am I!

Yeah, but the shoes get worn out a hell of a lot faster when you grind them on the ground while moving. When I was younger I flew down a hill, sitting on the board, and the sole of my shoe almost grinded all the way off. I'd rather pay $5 for a tailbone every 3 months than pay $20-$30 for a shoe every month.

Do not mention anything about Shirley Temple, Strawberry Shortcake or anything like that. I'm not too sure how to give you tips on how to write your thesis, but I'm just gonna assume that you know what a thesis is. Just make sure that you're explaining what the point of the paper is or possibly what you're trying to prove. Basically try to summarize what the paper is about in one sentence. If you give me a little more info on what the paper has to be about exactly, I'll be able to give you an idea for one.

I might as well explain it here just in case anyone else wants to know. I think it's still considered on topic. After I got the measurements on the three different sides that would be seen; I went to file, new and then typed in the dimensions of one side in inches and repeated that for the other two sides. After I did that I colored them in with yellow (the same yellow as the AWESOME smiley) and then added a 5px stroke to each of them and placed them together in a relatively large PS file to move them into position. Once they were in position I then added a skew on the top and side portions of the box as needed. The rest was pretty easy after that. I opened the large AWESOME smiley and moved it over the box and resized it accordingly. After that I found a picture of a bowl on google, cut it out and then placed it over the box. As for the little tiny AWESOME smiley’s...well I just added a ton of them in there...I think there were close to 300 layers. As for the text, that's pretty easy, I'm assuming you'd know how to do that. Then the last bit is the nutrition thing that I added on the side, which is also a picture courtesy of google, and gave it a skew to match the side of the box. Over all it was pretty easy to do. You just need to use some of your creativity along with having some knowledge of Photoshop. Here's a userbar that I made.

dude that is sick...how do you do that....photoshop Thanks. Yeah, I used photoshop. I actually measured a cereal box to make that. Making the shape of the box was probably the most complex part (twas easy though), but adding in all the little "AWESOME O's" was very tedious. I bet someone else here could make a cereal box 100X better than mine. I made some signatures and userbars that I'll post once I make a few more.

Isn't that the same guy? But yeah, that's amazing. I wish I could do shit like that. I struggle with just plan old kickflips.

I'm talking about the sole of my shoes because they're suggesting that I use the back of my heel to stop. Whenever I do kickflips my shoelaces usually start wearing out, not so much the toe area of the shoe.

Skateboarding will shred your shoes, it's a fact. Get over it! Tailbones may save your tail, but it will only prevent you from progressing, trust me it will get in the way. But hey if you want to slap something on your tail it may as well be a tail devil spark plate. I'm not trying to be an ass, but really... don't bother with the tailbones. Wow, you're not trying to be an ass? You fooled me. (I jokes) All of the stuff I've read about tailbones said that they actually help the pop of the board. How else could shoes get shredded? "tail devil spark plate"

No, in the forum rules it strictly states that there could only be one(1) skateboarding topic.

At least six thousand of your post are spam, so you only have, at the most, three thousand legit post...Which means I have more post than you. (I jokes) EDIT: Is that gap too big? ^

There's already a Skateboarding topic for this exact purpose... I find it really ironic that you made this topic right after I post this in my topic.

If you're doing power slides on a rough surface, your wheels will get flat spots very fast, believe me. Your shoe will be fine. ...I've already ruined three pairs of shoes from doing shit like that. Like I said before, buying tailbones is the best financial way to go. Ok, thanks. That video was pretty helpful.

AEE on G4

Powersliding isn't a great way to stop, you'll just flat spot your wheels. A better way to stop is to let the heel of your back foot hang off your tail, and use that to slow you down so you don't get razor tail. I prefer to slide one foot on the ground until I slow down enough, but that's just me. If your wheels wear out from power slides then you'd have to be doing power slides a shit load or the wheels are just shit to begin with. If I use my shoes to stop then I'll wear them out. They would wear out a lot faster than wheels would from power slides. Which brings me back to tailbones. It's the best financial way to go. So should I put it together in that order? EDIT: Didn't see your post Nate. That's sort of the problem. There really aren't any skate shops close by. I was gonna just have Skate America do it, but it's very expensive to have them do it. The grip tape is, in simple terms, just a huge sand paper sticker...right? Do I just lay it on the board as best as I can and cut the last bit off? EDIT: I just found this video. I've never seen this done before.
