People still board after they drive? I used to bmx and board. street and ramp… was fun. Got keys to my first car, I was driving to friends houses and doing it there. Only lasted until I got into cool cars and decided money is better spend on a good fun car. ---

support your local skate shop…fuck the corporations that hurt their own industry. i haven’t skated in years, but there’s something attractive about people that are just doing what they love. a lot of people on here shit on everything, but being out on a skateboard trying to enjoy life’s simple pleasures is a hell of a lot cooler then sitting online jerking off to 6000 dollar watches. ---

> [@cky89](#): > > It’s really not that hard. It’s just super persistent doing the same thing over and over again until you get it perfect. If you don’t get it perfect, you’ll likely end up on your ass(or face) > Just start off doing things not moving. Try to perfect them the best you can and then start to do it moving. First things you should learn are ollies and shovits. Try and find someone with a heated garage and learn in there for the time being if possible. Back 2 years ago me and a few friends(ldiablo too) used to go to places that had covered pieces of concrete(Like the west seneca soccer park) and skate there in the winter. We also broke into the unused half of former tops(now biglots) and built a huge kicker in there to skate.(I don’t suggest that since a few of them got arrested in there for tresspassing) > > Just have fun and learn at your own pace. > > EDIT: And beware of people in skateparks, Mainly the bikers. They don’t give 2 fucks if you’re in their way because they’re “bigger” than you (Bigger as in they’re on a bike they can run your ass over) Ha caz 8s nothing to ollie,landed the kickflip a few times but wrecked my board so bad it was no good,haven’t done the rail in a while though it alwasy is scary.I went to indy it just for shits and giggles one time and lets just say the deck went upright OUCH it hurt. Tops was awesome, if we didnt get kicked out it wouldve turned into like a bigass indoor park and mad people partying haha ofoucrse that wouldve turned into worse cop trouble lol. To the OP dont give up itll come to,plus girls who skateboard are hot:ohyeah: ---
