View Full Version : *Official* Skateboarding Thread
Since I noticed many people like to skate, or used to skate, I thought it would be nice to have a thread like this...
so, if you do skateboard, what board do you have, do you have any favourite skate spots? Goofy.. Regular.. Vert.. Street..(I basically don't have any skatepark in a wide area)
What kind of tricks can you do?
just talk about it in here.. make it a nice chat about skateboarding :)
(I first gotta see if someone replies.. Dunno if this will work out, then I'll contribute aswell....)

a Birdhouse Board, Phantom trucks, birdhouse weels and bearings...
I used to skate, i give it up, maybe in a future i'll continue...I'm goofy footed, and i like the street stile
My Birdhouse Board, it's really damn new in this pic, I think I've stand on it in our room for like 10 seconds, that's all.

then this is my old one, A Revert 10 Deck, as it's called. All standard trucks, wheels, deck, everything, it's from a local skate shop. it's good though, Only i've destroyed it quite a bit

lol, ^this board doesn't even has those things in your wheels that make you ride, bearings I thought.. forgot the name. (tiny little iron balls :D )
somehow I lost those once.... This was my first board though, so i didn't know how to handle it correct in the beginning

Board: ATM Blank
Fav. Spots: No favorite skate spots
Stance: Regular
Type: Street
Tricks: I can Casper, ollie, nollie, pop shove it, revert, handstand, manual/nose manual, FS,BS boardslide, BS tailslide, and that's only tricks I've landed. Yesterday I got lucky, and while trying to 360 flip out of a caspe for funr, I accidentally landed primo (to rail) and went back to normal stance. Greatest thing in my skateboard history. :)

Yes those are bearings. I think. Oh man you should see the reason I quit. Broke 3 different Zoo York decks. I know I should switch brand but...
Oh yeah.. that info:p
Board: See above, Birdhouse (dunno the type for some odd reason)
Spots: Spots through my neighborhood, like benches, home-made rails, sidewalks (I like to trick off them:) )
Stance: Regular
Type: Street
Tricks: Ollie 3 decks, almost 4, but my wheels on the back seem to hit the top of the 4th deck if I do so.
Heelflip
fs/bs shove it
FS 180 Ollie
FS Boardslide
Shove it - nose tail - shove it :) hehe
Varial Kickflip
(Nose) Manual
and some random stuff like
shove it -body varial
½kickflip - Casper - Anti Casper and back on wheels (not hard at all, give it a try)
Primo - ¾ heelflip
Reemo - Reemo 360 Flip (or whatever it's called. Just kick on the tail really hard and that should do the trick)

I'll show you why I quit skating. I have some old pics on the comp of way back when I skated:
This a pic of an old deck I had that I sent to some site.

I have no pictures of my bloody scars because I didn't hurt myself.
i used to have a toy machine deck (blue background with red devil)
venture trucks
FLIP wheels and bearings
i dont skateboard anymore im more into snowboardin. Its alot faster
They main reason i gave up is that my town sucks its got one place in the centre o town wit some steps and thats it theres not even any good secret spots
although being from scotland i have been to the world famous Livingston skatepark and it kicks ass

2 year old featherlight, rusty indep trucks, spit wheels, shicey bearings, some random company's bushings, and random hardwar...
HELL YES!
now... ive been skating for 3 years... right? have i accomplished shit? no. like. nothing. the greatest thing i did was jump this little two stair thing and without willingly kinda flip foward... (no, not with my board, i hit dirt and kinda rolled)
my friends can actually skate which is a plus though...
edit:
i should throw in my disability of not being able to fall softly. ever. i go off a kicked, level out 4 feet in the air, and bust my arse so hard i couldn't walk.
friends rail went up my arse on a boardslide...
meh... skatings the only thing i can do without pressure... kinda dont care whether or not im good...
favorite spot: the shopping center cause you can get the guards to chase after you in golf carts, hell yes! and the 6 stair in the private property place...
