So would you say a skate feeble and skate smith and like a boardslide or lipslide that you dip super far or is there more to it?

For it to be a skate smith/feeble the back dropout has to be locked onto the rail, just like a feeble on a ledge.

your drop out is not completely locked, its more of your wheel sliding against the rail as well as you dipping the front end down and completely straightening your arms, a duster or a "Derek duster" is done by doing the same motion but your peg and wheel are against the rail rather than your dropout and wheel

Hey Parrish. Just went through all 13 pages here and had a great time. My question is regarding Kerouac. What did you really think of on the road and big sur? OTR to me was really cool in that being able to go out there and live seems rad but on the other hand, they are straight up horrible people, which just kind of left a sour taste in my mouth. Big Sur was a little harder to get through for me. It seemed a bit incoherent at points and to me only serves as evidence to why to avoid the "beat" lifestyle. People glorify Jack like he had it all figured out when clearly, dying an alcoholic in his 40s, he did not.
tbill I've been rad dude! working on park crew at my local ski resort right now so not too much scootering with endless snow everywhere, but I'll be back on dem wheels soon enough. (if he approached backside which I believe he did) Its a back smith without a peg a back duster with one I believe. I stand strong on it being feebles/smiths so if you think otherwise you are treading pancake batter (thats on the stove!)

comishnar Well firstly I've never read big sur, its sitting in my bookshelf collecting dust to my emberrassmet haha. I think people glorify him as an artist, I don't think people expect artists that good to exactly have it all figured out, and live it. That kind of has a lot to do with the other subject you brought up with how they are all fucked up people, and its kind of like, look at all the people you scooter with, or work with, or whatever. You might respect some people for what they do, but I think in reality the majority of people, regardless of their views, are fucking the planet up, pushing our fragile and perfect ecosystem to its edge. being dependent on gasoline, eating mass produced food and using mass produced products are all examples of this, but relative to the normal functioning of a person in our society these are all "normal" and do not give us the right to describe a person as "terrible", although we know these things are constantly mutilating other creatures, making their lives living hell millions of times a day. I think people just put things in their own little boxes of perception and go around being that, their own little box of what they think ought to be or how they think it ought to work. In reality, there are infinite possibilities, but most of us, by chance, get stuck in one little set of perameters we have ascribed to the world around us, and ourselves. I think that art is all about changing these perameters and opening them up, and I think thats why you noticed that and questioned it. Its not really about anything going on in the book, or the painting, or the video part, or what the fuck ever. All that is just opinions and specifics, like what trick you did or if your heel dragged. We have lots of these tools to change the way we see the world, many of us describe them as art and many of us have redefined and changed that word. I think a book like on the road is one that makes you think about the people in it, think about the way kerouac writes. It taps into something we're all connected to. Its like when hes talking about the dude playing guitar and he just keeps on saying and he was doing IT IT IT IT, you remember the part. IT is that, the stream of consciousness, the ever flowing, ever changing thing thats always going on that we can be lucky enough to listen in on and share with our peers. I think on the road does a fucking awesome job of changing the way people see things, I think its a strange thing to read sometimes and I think it solidifies itself as a major novel in the shift in human thinking. The events that followed the presence of the beat poets are those that, in my opinion, have shaped a large portion of what we will see as the evolution of our species to live harmoniously on our earth by the members of our society.

By "terrible," I was getting at how dean goes through countless women, promising to marry them, proceeding to marry a few of them, knocking them up, and ditching them with no money. Also ditching jack in Mexico when he was sick. The general treatment of women in that book is deplorable and nobody seems to care.
Another question: you were talking earlier in the thread about style and how you can tell sometimes the riders who aren't into it doe the right reasons. This comes very close to some ideas I have about scootering. Have you ever read zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance, because the underlying theme of my thoughts comes from that. the author speaks of "Quality" and how it applies to certain concepts.

Nah I've never read that, but I have heard a lot about it. I think style is a manifestation of intent, like why you are doing what you are doing, and anyone who has skill in doing that thing generally has a pretty good grasp on the way you are working with your body. There are some people whose bodies might not be so great for super hard tricks, who could still have great style, but choose to push for keeping up with their peers for egotistical reasons, thusly putting a dent in their style. Of course it isn't black and white, and I know nobody could claim they don't get stoked when someone is like "holy shit how the fuck did you just do that trick?". I also think style has a lot to do with your trick choice, how much you choose to do tricks, and why you do those tricks.

LTS and Srsucksbl were troll accounts run by the same person. LTS was just a jackass and the other was an account pretending to be a member of the KKK.
LTS was some annoying kid that joined while you were gone... SRsucksbl is the second account LTS made to troll us because he got so butthurt...
