zakalwe
01.08.15 | Skating in Cali is a dream I've had for years.
The reality is I'd step on the thing, go arse over tit and break an ankle. |
ChoccyPhilly
01.08.15 | Used to. I got really into it a couple of years back and I loved the feeling of rolling but I've stopped since because there aren't any smooth surfaces where I live and I'm not too good at it anyway.
I mean... rolling is one thing but then even attempting an ollie is so fucking hard |
Cygnatti
01.08.15 | yeah i never learned to do tricks. kinda scared to. |
Slut
01.08.15 | I can confirm it is indeed 9 degrees in joisey |
greencorn5
01.08.15 | I still skate but have given up the big shit, not trying to break anything w/o insurance. Still, flatground, small ledges, and parks keep me busy when the snow is gone. |

MO
01.08.15 | "had no idea that at least 3 people on sputnik are so massively ripped to the point that they can't set foot on a skateboard anymore"
well I mean, when you start weighing more than 210-220 you start breaking more boards than it's worth |
MuhNamesTyler
01.08.15 | Dude one time I kickfliped a 100 stair no lie |
DoctorDoom
01.08.15 | @Lethean More central than south. |
rockandmetaljunkie
01.08.15 | I tried once just for the fun of it. I fell and busted my face open. Didn't attempt to skate again. |
rockandmetaljunkie
01.08.15 | It was for me. |
Cygnatti
01.08.15 | I almost got run over a few times bc I suck at braking x.x |
Muisc4Life26
01.09.15 | Skating takes a while to get comfortable with, still learning how to drop in lol |
greencorn5
01.09.15 | Keep your weight forward and knees bent, once you get used to it, it's no big deal |
ChoccyPhilly
01.09.15 | lol fuck the half pipe. I was way too chicken shit for the drop |
greencorn5
01.09.15 | Ive never dropped a pipe larger than 8', Ive skated a few pretty good sized bowls tho. Street is where its at though. |
ChoccyPhilly
01.09.15 | Also, how did no one mention how fucking expensive gear is? |
Muisc4Life26
01.10.15 | Gear can be pretty pricey but you can probably get some for like $40 or so, depending on your stores. |
FlyheadMetal
01.10.15 | No but I ski. Greenland, remember. |
ChoccyPhilly
01.10.15 | I dunno about America but if you want some good wheels and bearings, that's gonna be at least 50 or so quid |
