DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Cargo pants are dope to skate in. At least the real ones from the army/navy store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew Blum Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 whitehalls still around, and pretty fun although alot of the stuff is seriously crumbling. the one funbox thing is seriously a pile of broken wood now. the ground there is perfect, thats one of the main reasons i like it. and it seems to not get as crowded with little kids as FDR and pops park has been getting, although there was one day we were up there dodging bikes, razor scooters, snakeboarders, and even a kid on rollerskates. it was redicullous.

makineasykills Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 i haven't been to whitehall in awhile...if its still around i'd like to get over there for a session. The township i'm in built a decent park accross the street from my crib. I've been going there a few times a week now after work and shit. Its not bad, lots of local rippers.

ERIZENO Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Just wondering ...if any of you under 25 ever wear shorts when you skate ?? Old men I'm curious about your input as well. It seems like it used to be more common and no big deal but these days no one likes to do it. Worried about getting shinners wearing shorts, does a thin ass layer of fabric really buffer that much shinner shock out ??? Even the TPWF's in Arizona seem to only wear full pants in that 120 degree heat. I love wearing shorts skating ... during the summer only time I rock pants is at parks that let you roll no knee pads if you are in pants.

JBchit Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 i'm a youngin and used to despise wearing shorts. under no condition would i ever decide to wear them despite the hot humid heat the day offered. nowadays i could care less and wear whatever. as for them tpwfs you speak of, i'm pretty convinced that it's just a style issue they're dealing with.

johnneh7 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 i dont get dressed to go skate, i just get dressed in the morning, when i wanna skate i open up the back of the car grab my vans and deck. unless im wearing like a suit. then i guess i would go home.

pissdrunkwhat?! Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I DONT REALLY ROCK SHORTS EVER SO RARELY WOULD I BE SKATING IN THEM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAL Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I own one pair of shorts, and only wear them when it's insanely hot outside. Otherwise i always wear pants. Just personal preference. I don't feel like a layer of fabric will protect my legs, but shorts just feel weird when skating. I look damn good in a pair of khaki shorts, though. Back in the early 90's everyone wore shorts. They were basically clamdiggers back then, so I'm not sure if it counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedicineCabinet Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 wind flowing around your junk while skating in shorts is great less sweat less stank hitting your shins hurt, but way worse things can happen anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papi Drew It Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 this is the skateboarding thread yet but most of the talk is centered around what kind of pants and shoes other men are wearin...cut that bullshit out my era peep the old school bus at 0;59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigmatic Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 If its over 90 im not fucking skating haha. Im at the beach. Anyway not wearing shorts because your afraid of shinners is some bullshit haha. Just dont do flip tricks. Ill skate ledges and transition all day erry day in some shorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERIZENO Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I wasnt asking on a style level at all (Oh I wear ____ when I skate)... I could give a fuck about my own, much less anyone else's personal taste in clothes. I have just heard comments from other skaters when I'm out about how they would never feel comfortable skating in shorts. They tend to cite shinners as the reason why ... So I thought ch0 would be a good slice of views on the subject. I couldn't imagine choosing pants to skate when its over 70degrees out. This whole thought was solely on the comfort level, not appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERIZENO Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 See ...thats some bullshit, pussy fear ...I cant believe people think a piece of fabric (even denim) will dampen it that much that it looks uncomfortable on others and or changes your trick selection. Some in the new gen are pussified about some silly shit ... but at the same time going way more crazy in other ways. I was glad to hear how many oz'ers are down to be comfortable in the heat.

Twinkie singled out again :D im not a pussy for not wanting split shins. if i thought wearing pants over shorts wouldnt soften the blow on my shins, then i wouldnt wear pants when i shred. this topic is like any other topic that would be pitting comfort vs possible harm that can be slightly reduced based on wearing something else. would you go into a war without a bulletproof vest on just because it was slightly uncomfortable? either way. call it a personal preference, if you will. this whole topic is pointless.
