I hadn't skated in about 5 years until a month ago when I racked a complete World Industries setup... which seem to have seriously gone down in quality since I last payed attention; they're almost mass-produced Nash-like quality completes with better bearings if you ask me. I guess that makes sense since it came from a mall.

 

I used to rollerboot, and I could give a fuck what ya'll think. As soon as you can top my mistyfilp 6-step gaps from back when I took it serious I'll concede that I suck for having rollerbladed. Until then, keep kickflipping 3-steps, trying to smith knee-high ledges and holding your quietly talking shit.

World industries recently got bought out by some department store chain, which is probly the reason of the lack of quality

thats absolutely ridiculous. you could substitute all those things in the bike category into skateboarding a million times over. plus blinged out urban skaters, plus hesh tight pant van halen skaters. plus every other dumb clothing/music related label in the world.

 

and besides most of the bikers on here are not goatee peircing people, they are track bike fixie nerds, with indy rock hair and messenger bags. or i would assume.

Been skating since 1995 but got into it a little late in the game. I can rock a few tricks but there's a time you get to the age where a broken bone or similar injury can really screw up your life.

 

But it's still so much fun to just riiiiiiiiiiiiide

I used to skate every single day for years and years, but I've hardly skated at all in the last 10. I still have a modern set-up though. Santa Cruz deck, gullwing trucks and some Alva Speedskins from back in the day. Snowboarding is my thing now though. I've booked two trips for this winter and I can't fucking wait.

I have a whiskey drink

I have a lager drink

I get drunk

and piss in the kitchen sink...

 

 

 

 

Got my first skateboard at age 6 and even though I rarely ride now,

I can still grab a board and stick a heel flip in less than 3 tries.

Plus I have insanely good balance from it.... and a creaky ankle

from rolling over my own leg after a nasty missed 8-stair.

My all time favorite skate vid.

It inspired me to find a pool to ride.

Mickey and Steve Alba (pool ripping legeneds) are Jessica Alba's first cousins?
