    Bands that should fall apart

    in Music, Film, TV & Sports

    Posted · Edited by Ice-T3A

    Linkin Park. [You fucking pieces of shit fucking redneck gay commercial musicians], even though they aren't rednecks.

    Okay, I have serious issues with this statement. They're gay for what reason? Because last time I checked, every single one of them (excluding the drummer) is married. Why, because their lyrics are pretty angsty and speak towards their fans? And commercial? Big deal, their debut album sold 24 million copies, which is a hell of a lot more than most bands formed in the past decade can say.

    I meant gay as in lame. (no I dont think being gay is lame.)

    Angsty? Sure, if your a 9th grade emo chick who's on her period.

    And yeah they are commercial and over rated.

    oh i thought you meant gay as in homosexual lol :P

    Skateboarding

    What I'm trying to say is I've been skateboarding for 8+ years, been to countless skateparks and street spots, and yada yada yada...I have yet to see one Pro, Am, park rat, street skater, or even a poser use tailbones.

    Ok...then that means I'm not a poser.

    Why do you think nobody uses them? Do you think the majority of skateboarders are just illiterate? Nope. We don't need or want them, they only get in the way. If they work for you then great, go for it. :cheers:

    I don't go along with the crowd, I don't give a shit who uses them or how many people do use them.

    But for kicks I'll ask Mike Maldonado what he thinks of tailbones. I'll let you know. :hurrhurr:

    How many times do I have to tell you that I don't give a shit what people think?

    Check out this bullshit.

    that cop go what he desereved, he go fired for a while or something. they say the kid had his earphones in thats why he couldnt hear him....STUPID COP PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE :lolbounce:

    yea there royals :)

    I would if I could do power slides, but the board I have now doesn't have the best wheels for it...plus my balance isn't perfect.

    I've just been skateboarding in my basement because the weather is shit. I can't wait until it gets nicer out. I'd be happy with 45 degree weather at this point.

    I'm still trying to pick between an Alien Workshop board or Rodney Mullen's "Uber light" Almost board. The Almost board dropped from being $110 to $70...so I might get that.

    Does anyone here have any kind of experience with putting skateboards together? If so, how hard is it to do? I'd assume it's not that difficult, but any kind tips would be great.

    EDIT:

    IDEA!!! For those of us that skate, we should post pictures of some skate spots that we go to. I guess non-skaters could post some pictures too if you find a spot with a potential line. I'll probably get to this when the weather gets a little nicer...although I do have some videos that I haven't put together yet...hmmm <_<

    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.

    Grip your board, put bearings in your wheels, screw the wheels to your trucks, bolt the trucks to your board. There's not much to it. :cheers:

    So should I put it together in that order?

    EDIT: Didn't see your post Nate.

    Yeah, I'm with sallpancake. I just dip my the nose of my back foot on the ground to slow down if I'm gonig pretty quick. Taking pictures of fun skate spots sounds cool I'll have to take a couple in the next couple of weeks.

    @ HB - Yeah making a complete isn't difficult at all, well, gripping your board might take a little experience but other than that it's easy. Just go to a local skateshop for instructions if you need any.

    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.

    this guy is sick check this out
