Harpo Marx Posted July 18, 2001 Author Share Posted July 18, 2001 skateparks are starting to attract so many posers now. and they're impossible to cruise around at. i like finding my own spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest professor poopatronic Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 i'm really into transition, especially bowls and mini ramps. street is incredibly fun if you've got good spots, but they are few and far between around here. we just got a new concrete skatepak in town, and it's pretty sick. great bowls.

tue skinny Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 i hate parks. around where i live its either fulled with kids that cant skate or people who just chill in the middle of the skatepark. i like finding spots like stairs ledges and so good street skatin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raels Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 Personally, I'm all about ledges & trying to pull off clean shit/hard tricks. I've messed with handrails and paid the price a few times -- not my steez. Street skating is the shit -- just jumping on a board and roaming the streets hitting stuff as you go. NYC for sure .. Skatepark of Tampa .. SF has so many spots. [This message has been edited by Raels (edited 07-17-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Step8 Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 parks?? what the hell is a park?? i started and always skated the downtown landscarpe... the marble ledges... to the court house benches.... getting chased out by security, which was pretty stupid compared to when i was doing graff.. fuck running from a security guard for skating??? stupidest crime ever..... i feel so stupid for running.. i shoulda stayed and told off the toy cop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graffitiSUX Posted July 18, 2001 Share Posted July 18, 2001 i miss the park at home (melbourne australia). it's in the dead centre of the city, so when you get sick of the transitions and ledges, you can head out to any of the zillion spots around the city. fatness.

alkaline Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 My favorite terrain to skate is ditches. My friends took me to a ditch, which I had never been to before, the other day. It was quite possibly the coolest ditch I have ever seen. It’s very secluded, and some BMX guys have built a couple of concrete transitions and ledges. But the best part, by far, is the fact that this particular ditch is right next to a train track. Now I can skate and bench at the same time. -Al Not waving, but drowning.

Retired Hasbeen Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 The streets of SF... Downtown manhattan, brooklyn banks before the fence, good cement parks, and a nice big driveway bump. I brought my board to work today..I think a session is in order.

garcia_vega Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 i skated a sick pool last month. went there and bucketed that thing out, swept it and skated it. that was the first time i ever worked to skate a spot so i really appreciated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipples-galore Posted July 19, 2001 Share Posted July 19, 2001 i started skating way back in 87 or 88.......my favorite will always be legdes and banks. curbs will do, but they get boring a little too quickly. manual pads.anything street. i was never really too into parks and shit....too many little kids, and the public parks usually blow (where i live anyways). street, street, street.........but i would like to work on my park skating a little more...make myself a more well-rounded skater.
