Used to be sponsored by a local shop but became too much, now i just skate every other day or so for fun.

wish i still skated, had some great memories of it.

was never that good though, always been more of a bmx guy

been casually skating for 2-3 months now. Everyone's switching to longboards though.

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.

dont really skate that much, everybody thinks ive quit. nahhhh.

i skate everyday going on four years. i hate longboarding. i mostly skate bowls and shit.

skated once when i was like 12. said fuck it and played some basketball instead

Just learnt 360 flips.

Me too but I'm beginning to think I got it by luck

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.

i started skating again after a 5 years break i can do my kickflip, olie and bs 180 and a half cab again.
and i almost can do my heelflip, Fs 180, pop shovit, nollie again
i'm going after some new weels and trucks today mine are all rusty atm and to lose, i can't put them tighter.

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 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

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

used to skate.
really would like to start again but i snapped my trucks when i dug my board out the shed a couple months ago,
maybe once i sign on i'l get a new pair
used to be well skinny when i skated too...

might get some skate vids to get me some inspiration... any recommendations?

i like to street skate but a good bowl or pool is also fine

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.
