Nearly every day.

Learned halfcab flips (the hard way) yesterday, never thought I'd get those.

Naa, it's part of the hipster/skate conversion, the Route1 I got through the door today was straight hipster fashion with two whole pages of long boards.

Its weird, I can barely do any flip tricks myself, but know the foot positioning and leg movements like the back of my hand.

Last tricks I learned were backside nosegrinds and backside overcrooks on transition! Definitely more of a "go fast and go big and hope for the best" kind of style than trick in, trick out ledge technician style.

Possibly the best photo of me skating

5.0 fakie. Ate shit sooooooo many times trying it.

It's about dropping a track at the wrong speed, and it sounding better than the real thing.

If anyone has any spare trucks i'll swap my independents for them. theres nothing wrong with them its just my deck is 7.5 and i got the trucks from an 8 inch complete so they stick out the side a bit.

that's what I was like when I used to skate :lol: just race at stuff as fast as possible and hope that I don't die. all my mates just played skate all day long, I'd always be out first.
quit last year.

Transition>Street :twisted: :twisted:

But seriously, tried the whole ledges/rails/etc thing, and it wasn't for me.
Now, I find the most joy in a perfect bowl/pool/etc 8)

I used to skate. Reaally sucked at it but I dug the social aspect of it and meh, it was really fun. Was more into vert, though.

I did see my old skateboard in my shed the other day and did some ollies for old time's sake. It's the only thing I can still do on the damn thing.

Use to skate religiously in my early teens. Thinking about buying a new set-up and skating again.
This is cool.
