So after 2 years of having my board lean against my wall I decided to go outside and do something.

I've been on my board the day I got it, but aside from that I didn't do much. So I'm basically relearning how to stand on it without falling. Which is as far as I got 2 years ago.

I put that board down on my driveway and put on foot on it and it was shooting every which way. I got freaked out so it took me about 15 mins to actually stand on the board. Then another 15 to stand on it with out eating poo poo. THEN 30 mins to push straight without falling.


By the end of 2 hours of almost tripping and going no where I was coasting down the road for about 50 feet at a time till I have to stop. Those 50 feet of just being on the board was pretty fun I gotta admit.

How long did it take everyone to finally get "skating" down? forget tricks. I just wanna get a burger then hit the beach and play with some dogs :smugdog:

I watch skaters all the time. I see one every day here in southern california. I see people skating every which way, but they're skating. That's more then I can say I've done.

I see lots and lots of people push mongo. That's the way they got thought so they're great at it. Pushin over cracks and up hills with out falling on their face.

I'll have to remember to try tic-tacs. 2 years ago I could do a 180 on the board even a 360 with out falling. I have no idea how I manged to do that. I saw some kid doing tornado spins on a board it was nuts. So I tried it myself. Got dizzy quick. I'll be sure to try and do that again when I feel ok on my board.

Andy posted a pretty heartfelt tribute on his insta last night. I just happen to be awake late enough to even see the post and today in the morning I saw that everyone had woken up to the news. Pretty much anyone who skates, has skated, or is a skateboard brand left tributes.

Was this because of his slammer he took a few months back? Kinda kept in the dark here.

Congrats to team USA, you're reviving the idea of an olympic dream team again.

The responses from the rest of the skateboard community was pretty negative lol.

"Selling out" was a hot term. Or "this isnt anti-establishment".

Long live skateboarding. I don't skate much at all(you can see with the last time I posted here years ago) but I'm a big fan and it's super fun to watch a promo video/internet video or in person. So it even getting any recognition as an Olympic sport crazy. Never thought I'd see the day.

poo poo, might as well throw surfing in the Olympics as well.

One of the youtube comments was, "So, Rib Man didn't even show up dressed up?"

lol

This is a pretty hype video. Even as for a non-skatin goon like myself.

Here's a short but sweet one for today
