Skateboarding 2009, who's down?

niiiiice, my friends always trash my sector 9 deck but its outlasted all their boards and its just such a pleasant ride, can’t find a pic of it but its one of those real big surfboard shaped decks with no up curve in the front or back, love it

anyway this video always gets me pumped

i want a longboard

my gf’s brother has one, they live on a super long smooth street outside of batavia. i decided to give it a shot last summer, i could always push and turn a board without a problem but could never do any siiqq tricks, prob bc ive always been a fatass. it had been like 2 or 3 years since i had even stepped on one

anyway i hop on and start pushing and i just start ripping… then i realized im going so fast if i sketch out and have to bail i cant run to compensate for how fast im going hahah but i did ok… didnt kill myself. o ps this was right before i went to a wedding so i was in nice shoes tie slacks ect…

micah if you want i’ll put your griptape on whenever

I’m down to skate this summer as well, I skated the last nice day we had for like 3 hours

Andre PM me ur #

actually im gonna do the grip tape… i think its part of skating to be all excited putting it together, i don’t think i can F it up, just do the smooth down then make the outline, cut it , then rub again to “melt” the grip tape to the board so nothin peelsss

for the fucking win. I could never ollie so i gave up on skateboarding. Until I discovered the longboard. So much fun just cruising around.

around here i dont really care, but I guess out west theres beef between longboarders and skateboarders

me and my friend used to longboard about and jokingly make fun of regular skateboards, we never meant it but its amusing pretending to be elitist as dumb as that sounds

ironically that happens a lot, which is I think what sparks it. skateboarders think it’s funny, because longboards are like skateboards with training wheels for people who aren’t good enough to do tricks

lol dumbest beef ever

same as with how there is beef between agressive roller bladers and skateboarders. Kinda stupid.

no people who fruit boot are just :gay:

case in point.

I better not see any of those fggt inline rollerskaters around, or ill have to punch em in there fggt faces. fggts.

No diamond plate, no care.

it seems to me rollerblading has really died out

biking seems to be getting pretty popular. i never used to see any bikers street-riding but this past summer I saw so many.

I want to start skateboarding…

Road bikes, or 20" freestyle type bikes?

20".

road bikes are really popular right now, especially fixed gears. I have a geared bike to go on real rides but I cruise the city on my fixed. sunday night rides are usually 100-130 people

I need to get a board again and go skate ub again and run from the cops again only this time all my friends who went to college will get to see me run from the cops.

i think its great that the 20’’ biking is getting popular, help Buffalo lose some weight

anyWHO, im excited to skate, i am gonna get some different wheels though, any recommendations?
