Anybody skateboard here?

[Thordic]

I did when I was younger, Im thinking about starting back up.

[coloBB]

doubt you will find many bodybuilders that still skateboard.

[karmazon]

I did for 3 years then i sprained my ankle bad, wore a cast, when i took it off i was too lazy to start again, but recently i got back into it, it's so fun.

[MantisShrimp]

i will ollie over your mother****in house champ

edit: ok so i am sort of a trick skater but more just street...
and yeah the urge to buy a board has caught me more than a few times.
i went through like 6 of em, always breaking them in half doing acid drops off picnic tables and ****

[blood vs. water]

i do

i actually havent been skatin in a couple of weeks, but when i get back from mexico ill be skating again.

once i started up again, i found all these new places that were built up that are sick for skating. a lot of my old places are no longer around. the brooklyn banks is back which is pretty sick.

[Big_Jim]

i used tto about 4 years ago... stopped because i hurt myself doing it lol

[Thordic]

yea Im about to order a new deck. Its going to suck learning how to ollie again. yikes

[eiker_ir]

i did a couple of years ago, stopped when one boring day of summer i missed a kickflip and my board broke slightly so i just finished destroying it for fun.

That was it

[blood vs. water]

surprisingly, after years of not skating, i got most of my tricks back withing a couple times of skating. grinding ledges and **** was alittle rough at first lol but i got into the groove again. i forgot what kind of angles you need to hit certain grinds at and how much pressure to put on the nose/tail. i also forgot how much it stings when the board nails you in the shin. much different from a bar. oh and after a couple times of skating, i was pretty ****in sore the following days

[Thordic]

post yo set ups suckas

[blood vs. water]

zoo york deck
indie trucks
spitfire wheels

i used to always ride this set up when i was younger but the quality of zoo york decks has certainly gone downhill over the years since ecko bought them out

i have a zero deck that i keep as a spare. i have a tendency to crack decks quickly.

[Thordic]

Im thinknig about building a pink and white skateboard. What do you think about abec 7 bearings? Or should I just go with 5's?

i dunno, those are the ccs brand right? i got shorty's which i like

[karmazon]

I use only element boards. Element wood is the closest thing to titanium, seriously, you will not snap it, even if you drop a piano on it.

my friend rides element and for some reason i never liked the shape of them boards

[Niyko]

I used to.

[Thordic]

I always liked my board to have a nice concave. and abec 7 bearings are the fastest bearings you can get.

[zdcisme123]

zero deck
Lucky hardware
Spitfire wheels
i forget the trucks... damn they were real good iknow that


something like that i dont skate anymore

[guest89]

Hell yes, been skating for 6 years on and off. Sometimes I'll get an injury that'll cause me to take stop for awhile ( about a year ago I fell on my back on a handrail and had to spend and entire summer sitting/laying down, then after that where I lived in the mountains there was too much snow/ice to skate much the entire winter). Then I fxcked my left arm and right leg snowboarding.


And right now I live out in the country and have to drive to town to skate+ my town has SUCKY places to skate so im not able to board everyday ( extremely annoying).

My setup (brand new board+trucks)

Black Lable Big Block board,

Indy Trucks,

forgot the name of my wheels been riding emm so long need new ones,

Swiss Bones Bearings ( my favorite bearings).


My last "new" wheels where Ricta Air Core, (hollow insides) but I crushed them over a BS 180 over a gap. (which is why I swaped back my old ones on).





As for those who might think they are "too old" for skateboarding THINK AGAIN. My brother in law has been skateboarding for over 20 years , (he's almost 30) And he's at the top of his game right now.

[bjjwraslter7]

I skated for a good 6 or 7 years...then everyone just sorta stopped and it's boring by yourself. Skating sorta stopped being cool when everyone discovered alcohol and weed.

[Thordic]

its been 6 years since I have stepped on a skateboard. oh well. I dont really have anything else to do. Lets see if I can end up in the hospital before the summer is over.

[Hesh]

its a great time man.

get back into it.
