i've been skating non stop for like two and a half years now. i dislocated my toe about five days ago and it needed surgery and i can't skate for like two months and it's the longest break i've ever had from skating.

 

[CoryR]

Just watched the bones brigade, Rodney made me cry. Haha.

just got back from it, i agree with you, but i always thought he was some hyper person, but no

 

[RiccardoM]

It really pumped me to hear about these guys lives.
Rodney is such a cool, deep dude. Really inspiring.

 

[CoryR]

i know, and my dad went full nostalgia and remembered getting the magazine and seeing the car on fire ad and a bunch of other stuff

 

[Scott Trainer]

i have supportive friends

I know that feel. I snapped my phorx and started skating a little more, took my linx forks off of my spare and bent them in 2 weeks, so Ive been just skating lately. My friends used to make fun of scooters jokingly and say that some of the shit I threw down was sick, but now they just bash on it non stop when ever I pick up the old scoot.

kids at my school are neutral about scooters, but when they saw that i was gonna start skating they talk shiet about me, but none of them really know that i used to skate

 

[Scott Trainer]

Haha, same EXACT thing with me. Just replace school with skatepark. They all expected me to suck at skating, then I started doing shit and they shut up. Then they talk shit about scooters so I like to bring mine out and shut them up about that too. Kids really just thrive on any kind of drama.

 

[CoryR]

yes, and if somebody hates on me, i learned not to listed, everybody that hates scooters are posers with Kink or Fits and cant even 180. and then they all say skating and scooters are super easy.

 

[Zaηe]

i didn't really "switch", i quit scooters and then one day like a month later i started skating my friends board at the park and it all just went from there.
a lot of the people i used to ride with ended up really going somewhere, which is good. but i don't regret quitting at all, i've met so many cool people and done so much cool shit all because of skating, so it was totally worth it. sk8 4 lyf.

 

[CoryR]

just got my board and rode flat for awhile, go my ollies back, but i keep landing on the nose and tipping forward, also tried pop shuv its and almost got them. This is fun.

 

[CoryR]

so have had it for 3 days now, went to my park today and ollied the pyramid, also got kickflips flat once every hundredth time

 

[Ian P]

nice man i did my first handrail today pretty pumped on that

 

[CoryR]

nice, i went and rode "street" with my friend, he ollied this 2 1/2 foot flat gap and kickflipped down a 3 stair, i got ollies and boneless down the stairs, and almost a kickflip.

 

[Ian P]
