CELT

:D :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Link is whack .

I love " Screaming Lord " Salba . :lol: And Phil Shao . wow almost forget about him . R.I.P. Anyone out there with any unused or ok looking Cellblocks...I want to buy em' .

Who were , are your top 5 influences of skateboarding ? These are mine in no particular order . Jason Jessee Duane Peters Christian Hosoi Steve Caballero Jeff Grosso

Oh yeah those , yeah I know what you mean now . ;) I was referring to the solid metal ones , that had shitty kingpins .

Those were pretty gay . But they're worth a fortune to collectors these days .

Gullwing were heavy as fuck as shitty to the max , no trippin' here . If I couldn't get Indy's then I went with Thunder Trucks , about the only other company that did me right .

I still want this , maybe for Christmas from the lady .

LMAO ^^^ :lol:

18 , Jesus consider yourself lucky . Yeah well last week I watched a 9-10 year old kid completely own Chenga World , an indoor park here in Cleveland , OH . But...when I busted a 360 Boneless over a pyramid , he looked puzzled . He asked me what I just did so I taught him Boneless's , and the 360 Boneless , could never do a switch one to save my life . So it's all relative . See , this whole video-game skateboard generation kind of bugs me . If you watch most of these kids skate exactly alike , nothing but robotic and dull . But for every 1000 of those kids there's the 1 kid who skates fast as fuck with his own crazy style . That's the younger kid I'm rooting for .

Ever ride Gullwing trucks made in the 80's or even 90's ? Heavy as fuck , probably the worst POS's made . :lol:

Where do you live ? I'm sure you can support your local skateshop instead of WalMart . A decent complete can be had for around $100-$120 . Kryptonics makes those pre-assembled completes and spending $40 might not be a bad idea . That one is up to you . The key at least to me in skateboarding is to take it in all it's forms and make it your own . I mean shit you don't have to learn crazy technical tricks , carve a cement park , ride vert , etc...sometimes all it takes is just cruising around town thinking about nothing . That's how I clear my head . I'll grab a setup and go downtown Cleveland and cruise around for hours . It's my therapy I guess . Learn to ride anything skateable , every terrain , it's a lot more fun in the long run that way . Everyone that skateboards has their own outlook on what it is , what it should be , etc...I'm an older guy I guess , at 31 . And I have conflict between what I know of skateboarding from when I started in the late 80's , to what skateboarding has become in my opinions . Sure I joke and make fun of modern street skating opposed to the old school launch ramp / half-pipe / pool scene I'm part of , but it's all in good fun and sarcasm . The funny thing is you can skateboard for 5 years or whatever , stop for a variety of reasons , and then one day your ass gets stung by the skate bug . And then you fall in love with it just like you did in the firstplace . Not to sound all emo & gay , but it's a beautiful thing . My best wishes in your lost love of skateboarding . :cool:

I've sworn by Independent 169mm's forever , never let me down . Cool find .

My favorite new wheel company..... http://www.pinkskateboards.com/Pink-Wheels-Polkadots.php Not bad for $35.00 I like what Hosoi has done . I always loved Ventura & Mulder . http://www.hosoiskates.com/products.php That Mulder Anchor deck would make a killer street board .

Liked Powell Swiss , a bit expensive . Not as expensive as Ceramic ones . I've been told that Ceramic are the way to go especially if you ride concrete . Maybe I'll try em' when I have some extra $$$$ to burn .

I just rode one of these decks the other day , very nice . http://www.shutnyc.com And you guys need to try out these bearings , it's amazing how fast you can skate with em' .

I have a set on just about every setup I ride . I can't help it , they're pretty dinosaur but it works for me . :lol:

That's Filtydelphia for ya' . :lol: I still really don't like that city . It's everything about a major city I hate . Plus it was proven they have the ugliest goddamn mugs across this land . :lol:

I was there , and watched a local pull a gun out on my friend . The fact I liked a lot of older Hardcore bands and was able to talk to the kid probably saved his life . It's amazing that talking about The Cro-Mags , Last Resort & Agnostic Front made the kid put the shit away and actually apologize to us . My friend was a dumb-ass and should've kept his mouth closed in the firstplace . A lesson I learnmed a long time ago when skating places I don't live nearby .

I might actually check out this before it snows... Rob D's DC Skate Plaza in Kettering , Ohio . 3 1/2 hour drive but it looks fun . Oh wait Celt skates street...? I'd try and heelflip the shit out of everything . :lol:

This was the place . http://www.skateboardpark.com/skateboardpark/viewpark.asp?ID=680

I might be coming back to Phoenix this Winter for 3-4 days . I'm bringing a few setups . I only had 1 day to skate PHX and it was actually raining , go figure . :lol: I did spend like $25 to skate this cool indoor park....can't remember the name . You guys are lucky because I miss Sonic , In & Out Burger , Whataburger .

Oh yeah , read an interview on the plane about Nick Trapasso . Fucking awesome skater . I believe he's from Phoenix?

Thanks guys , yeah I've been watching the fires in Cali on tv like everyone else , fucking nuts . I got called " insensitive " on shitty myspace because of my song from Smoke Or Fire " California's Burning " . :lol: Chenga Worls indoor park opens up in 15 minutes . I might go there for an hour or two . :cool:
