[snakelover111]

Not a skater... all through high school a lot of my close friends were skaters... me though, I can hang off a car on a board or I can just go on my own but not make any sharp turns, much less any tricks...lol :p If I did have a board of my own it would definitely be a hookups board. I'm a hookups freeeeeak :D

[jaybox_reptiles]

I used to be a skater ( got boring ) but i could do just about every simple trick ( oly, kick flip grind etc... ) but ive had any where from a bird house to shortys,element, hook ups, just about every thing lol

I'm a skater, but I do not push a board..

[snakehunter]

wood pushers, and fruit booters! i used to do both, and sucked at it, i was friends w/ alot of the local sponsered am.s, but quikly broke off that relationship b/c of the things they did stole, broke, vandalized....... the list goes on and on, i have a nice grind bow if any one is interested in it

Umm I don't skateboard but I wanna learn. I either want a Shorties deck or Girl.

I thought I'd share a pic.. I got Nick to take this pic of me pulling this off, sorry for the quaility - batteries are just about dead. This trick is either called a Brainfish, even though I did use the opposit hand or a brainfish fakie because the trick is set up (according to the pic) that I skated in the way I am facing on the pic. You jump up and do a 180' turn and land on the closest foot to the rail, while holding the other. My other arm is flairing but it looks good.. I think. I never was up to date on the whole lingo of the tricks, I just pulled them off to the best of my ability.. Also, the rail is low because I was just learning the move and getting boo boos isn't cool..

I skate, I'm at Londons SkatePark every day after school (around 2:45). I'm pretty good, but I have a broken, or badly sprain wrist right now, not that its stopping me. My setup= DNA MindProbe Deck, Tensor Lo's, Girl 54MM Wheels, Pig SpeedStar Bearing, Dooks Shockpads, Circa "Adrian Lopez" Shoes. the red ones. Some of the tricks I can do.. although not all... Flip Tricks : Kickflip, Heel Flip, Varials, Varial Heelflip, Big Sping, 180-360 pop shoveits (normal and fakie), Tri-Flips.. ugh.. basically every truck grind and basic grabs.. I got bored of naming tricks, so if you live in london area drop by the skatepark and I can show you haha

[ChokeOnSmoke]

I'm washed up to but I've rode alot of different boards powell blanks, birdhouse, shorties, planet earth, toy machine and probably a bunch I forgot. For trucks I used whatever normally independent or grind kings. Skating is a lot of fun but is really expensive and really hard on the body the shins and hands/wrist in particular thats why I quit. I stick to hacky sac now.

[snakelover111]

oh yah if any ones wondering i keep shorty decks and toymachine mostly toy machine.

General Discussion is available for off topic threads such as this one. It's nice to see what other hobbies and such everyone else has besides herps, I guess this is one of the things that makes ssnakess more of a community than the other sites... we get to know eachother more personally :)

god i wish i could skate!!!
i can just about walk on two feet!! seriously! i have crappy balance! sometimes i just fall off the curb when im walking down the street!! XD im such a dork!
i envy all you people with balance...

[katev17]

The biggest thrill I get from 'skating' is playing Tony Hawk (any) and spelling KATE instead of SKATE... I save the S for last..

That's about it...
