This thread (and needing a better way to get around campus) has inspired me to get back into skating. I used to be really into it from 5th to 9th grade, then I just got caught up in other things. I was never any good, I could ollie fine and do sloppy half-cabs and the occasionally noseslide, but I was also scared shitless of hurting myself. It's weird looking at all the stuff that has happened with the skate scene. Ali Boulala had that accident that killed Shane Cross, Pop War went out of business (which sucks, I loved their decks) and there's all these kids I don't recognize. Corey Duffel still wears pants that show off his scrotum, I noticed. I'm pretty excited, because I was able to find my old Thunder trucks (Mark Appleyard's.  ) with Ricta wheels attached, which saves me a good 70 dollars. I just need bolts and a new deck. I'm probably going to go with Alien Workshop or Girl, mainly because I've always liked the teams both of those companies sport.Has anything else big happened in the skate scene in the past 4-5 years? Also, I never stopped buying Nike SB shoes because they're so comfy, so that's covered too.

We're not talking two feet obstacles, this happens with a piece of wood as well. Unfortunately, C is what happened with me most of the time.

Have you guys seen Billy Mark's Battle Commander video at the Berrics? http://theberrics.com/batcom090926.php I've watched it ten times and I'm still blown away.

So I had a free afternoon today, so I went and rolled around at local park today. I decided I might as well go for some tricks because I don't need my body for anything, and I ended up ollieing down a 5 stair. I felt really cool.  Also, what decks are you guys riding right now? This is what I'm on:  I love looking at decks. Heh. foastwab fucked around with this message at 08:34 on Oct 15, 2009 |
