Are you a skater?
 

Well, are you? I've noticed that many of you wear sk8te company clothing and like the 100% video but just how many of you syg members are skatepunks? How many of you got into the yoof through skateboarding? Your opinions on the matter? Personal skating history? I'm just curious. Vote now, yes?

I grew up skating. Started at about 9 now I'm 28. As I've got older, I've done it less, but I'll never quit. I sprained my ankle at a concert recently, so I won't be skating most of the summer. I'm bummed.

i tried to be when i was younger (sixth grade, maybe?). i was never able to do any tricks or anything, but i could at least ride the board and ollie. i don't anymore.

Sketchy ollie



Bs smith

I hadn't seen that ollie pic before - cool!

I swear I'll load my part on youtube soon. Yeah as of late it's been really fun skating. I just filmed a manual Hensley flip (no comply shove it underflip) out on a little pad yesterday first try. I got pretty lucky. Has anybody seen that footage of Neil Blender at a contest where he pulls a spray paint can and paints a picture on a vert wall in his run?

Manual hensley flip first try... that's sick! I'm having problems doing a manual pop shovit out!

Manual shove it has always been a hard one for me. Have you ever tried manual frontside shove it out? Once you get the foot positioning for it then it's not that hard.

Could be, but i'm not quite the tech skater anyway. gimme stairs and handrails and i'll be happy.

I feel stupid asking this, but I must know, how many stairs have you ollied? I barely made it to the double digits with 10.

EDIT That ollie is rad Thrasher! I like the ghetto ramp.

My most was 3...they were long though.

I vaguely recall that Blender run you mentioned. I probably saw it years ago. Search him on youtube - I found some footage of him there once.

If you can ever find the G&S video "Footage" you should buy it. Neil Blender has one of my all time favorite parts in that vid. It also has Doug Smith who rips, and a very young Rob Dyrdek skating in it.

i skated only once with a really small board and broke it...

For those who know me, you know how I voted.

The most I ever did was 5, & like CHOUT, the stairs were wide, & the drop off was far.

11 :D
High not far. I'll post a pic sometime.

I used to. I was big into it, it's all I ever did, then I quit.

whats the hardest thing about skate boarding?
Telling your parents your gay!!!

HELL NO

nope, ive still got all my original ankles!

I have only rolled my ankle once skatboarding and i've been doing it for almost six years.

I live down the street from a skatepark. But i dont skate.

Fuck no, that would be an accident waiting to happen.

Yeah, I skate.

ICE skate.

Do you really have that? That's kick ass.

Do you know how wide the Goo board is?

I used to play rollerhockey, so I used to be really good at rollerblading. I haven't done it in years.

Never been a skater, though.

Yeah ive seen those decks, Most of the other band decks are gay.

Example

Ha ha ha.

Now I know what new board i'm getting. It's probably only 85 bucks just for the deck!

i had a world industries and a zero a few months ago. The first one snapped and the zero got stolen.

I like to buy the tiny boards with the plastic trucks and fuck around on those. It's a really easy way to get laughs and shinners.

I kind of stopped back in 2004. I still have my deck (element fiberlight) but it just sits in the garage right now.

I am riding a Bootleg currently. I like it.

I grew up skating in San Diego, and now in college I don't have too much time. But its funny some of my friends that stuck with it, are now making it pretty big in the "industry". I don't know if any of you guys that skate on here know ryan bobier, from zero skateboards(i guess he's on mystery now), well he is one of those guys. But yeah, when I have the time i head over to the skatepark or a little ledge or soemthing. Its fun. My ankles will forever be fucked though. I have already accepted the fact that im going to have arthritis when i get older

I used to skate in like 7th grade because I thought I was cool. And by skate I mean standing on the board and going down the hill. Haven't skated since.

I used to skate alot, for maybe two-three years, my signature trick was fakie bigspin.
