Skateboarding

Buzzov*en · 01-31-2011, 11:25 PM

Right now I'm using an Alien Workshop deck, Darkstar wheels (got em in bulk years ago from the local skate shop), thunder trucks, bones bearings, black magik griptape, vans shoes (classic style.)

Can only do a few flip tricks (kick flip, heel flip, varial flip, used to be able to 360 flip, shove its, big spins, bs flip, fs flip), few grinds (5-0, 50-50, fs boardslide, fs lipslide, smith, bs fs tailslides, fs bs nose slide, bs blunt slide), and that is about it. Boneless is probably my favorite trick. Favorite thing to do is just bomb big hills though. Nothing IMO can equal up to that.

Stopped skating for about 2 years. Started up after I moved down to Tampa and visited SPoT (Skate Park of Tampa) for a job there. Moved back to the hell hole I am from and was skating just about every day got some of my tricks back.

I got some picks from over the years some where on my comp I'll look for em and post em.

Skating in the winter sucks. Used to do it alot, but falling down a set of 6 or higher hurt like hell.

Used to go into some abandoned buildings around here when I was younger and skate in them. Most of the skaters around here did the same so we wound up having grind boxes, pyramids, kickers, and some rails in there. Only bad thing was dealing with the cops that came around alot after some of us got busted a few times.

Trying to get back into skating after a 5 year hiatus. Pretty much just sticking to flatground for now. I'm riding a Mike Mo Girl board...digging it so far.

I've got a Duane Peterson and a GATOR. Both have Independent trucks and oj 2's with swedish bearings. My favorite skater is Mike Vallely for street and Hosoi on vert.

**** yes, snow is finally melting. It's skate time boys.

Skated a little bit this summer on an old Flip deck. Since buying softer wheels I have found it much easier cruising around on rough surfaces/pavements.

Anyone here been watching the Epicly Later'd series' on Vice/VBS.tv? Ricky Oyola - Part 1 - Epicly Later'd -- Season Three | VBS.TV

Had to add this, I love the song and of couse the skating. Keith Hufnagel & a few other guys I dont recognise, anyone know who the other guys are?

Skateboarding should be about skateboarding and not about trademarks.
That's not the spirit.
