Hello.

As the topic says, I just wanted to know if there are some "skaters" out there.
I for one pretty much took my life to the skateboard a few years ago. That was the best time of my life, going out every day, regardless if it's sunny or rainy, only thing that counted was my wooden board and my friends. Right now, after several years of non-skating, I found out that I'm still able to do a few tricks. But mostly alone, noone really cares about skateboarding at the moment.But, It also helps me to relax a bit. So, is anyone of you doing some skateboard stuff? Or, as I said some BMX/Inlining?

Yeah I actually just got a new board a few weeks ago. I wasn't ever any good in the first place, but it's still so much fun to ride around, especially that feeling you get going down a huge hill when you're not sure if you'll be able to stop successfully. The biggest thing about me riding my skateboard is that the university I go to is very proper and generally doesn't approve of things like that. I even have one of my friends begging me to stop riding in public, but there's no way I'd ever listen to him. I guess for me, it's more about not abandoning everything I loved as a child and avoiding turning into the stuck up people at my school.

Skate or die!
I love skateboarding. I brought my deck with me to my university too. People do look strange at me when i reply on question like 'what were you doing yesterday?' with 'I was skateboarding till it got so dark i couldn't see'. My girlfriend wants to learn to skate so i have to ride a lot to remind myself all those tricks. (i started skating a long time ago, then quit, then came back to it). But unlike You Surf Solar- i barely can do anything, i olie a bit like a noob. Cant kickflip yet got old i guess.. But its a shitload of fun so i'm gonna practice. Great to have some skaterz here   btw- have you tryied BMXing?

Eheheh, good to read some similar stories to mine.

Yes, I just love the feeling, moving through the city, or even down a hill, feeling the asphalt under your wheels, it gives a bit of "freedom", even if it sounds silly.

And no, lol, I'm far away from beeing good. I'm just able to do some average kickflips, some Shove Its etc, if I have a good day I'll do a heelflip from one out of 100 tries...
Also, I'm more into "oldschool" skating. Jumping down everywhere you can (even though I've never made it down more then a set of stairs of 5 steps), making wheelies for long distances, doing flat tricks etc. Doing downhill sessions while sitting on the deck, w/ 20 friends was insane fun. It felt like the street belongs to you. Doing ollies out of little handmade ramps was also awesome.

I guess for me, it's more about not abandoning everything I loved as a child and avoiding turning into the stuck up people at my school.

Exactly. It's some type of "attitude" people who never skated'll never understand.




And yes, I tried the BMX, had some good times, but compared to a skateboard it was too clumsy and not so comfortable for me...
We even took our old skateboards, dismantled the trucks from it and went to some hills at winter. The one who made it till the end of the snowy hill was a king, I never managed it to get down there. :/

I skated years ago, i was what you would pretty much call a gutter punk, skateboards and 40 oz's of mickeys. my deck got stolen a few years ago but even then i had pretty much stopped cause i couldnt afford to keep fucking myself up with no insurance. fuck man, i even inherited an old school tony alva deck with original indy trucks from like forever ago, ahh bombing hills was so much fun.

I somehow found it cool that people here are talking about some activities that are NOT connected to gaming. Feels refreshing

And no, I do not skate...

I thought the offtopic board could have a bit more use, since here people discuss about no FOnline connected things and (maybe?) talk in a proper way, it just helps to calm down a bit and to know each other a bit better.

Yeah, I think you hate someone less if you know him more:) (when you're on the internet)

[Aricvomit]

well i agree and disagree, while knowing what someones about helps you understand them more, it does not mean your going to end up liking that person.

Enough of this fooling. Never thought I have to delete posts even in such harmless topics.

the rivalry between bmxers, skaters, and bladers runs very deep. growing up if the wrong person said something to the wrong group it was instant beat down, skateboards always tended to be the easiest to use to mess someone up.
