Are you a skater?

umjammer atomsk · 06.11.2006, 03:05 AM

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?

CHOUT · 06.11.2006, 03:07 AM

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.

youthoftomorrow · 06.11.2006, 03:07 AM

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

CHOUT · 06.11.2006, 03:14 AM

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

John Violence · 06.11.2006, 03:21 AM

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?

Trasher02 · 06.11.2006, 03:25 AM

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.

Trasher02 · 06.11.2006, 03:33 AM

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

John Violence · 06.11.2006, 03:38 AM

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.

CHOUT · 06.11.2006, 03:41 AM

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.

John Violence · 06.11.2006, 03:45 AM

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.

king_buzzo · 06.11.2006, 04:24 AM

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.

High not far. I'll post a pic sometime.

nomadicfollower · 06.11.2006, 09:53 AM

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