that kalis video is sick for sure. something that bothers me though is when dudes push mongo when

they're switch. fool's about to do a switch backside bigspin and can't push normally? lots of folks do it,

and everytime i see it i think about how long they practiced to get good at switch, just to look retarded

when they push.

 

 

 

I think alot of people do that just to make it known that they're skating switch.

When skating switch first started out, I made it a point to learn how to push switch too.

Everybody else just pushed with their normal foot when skating switch (mongo).

And as a result people would always get confused as to which way I skate.

I was the first person I remember doing that, but I'm sure there were others doing it at the same time.

 

As if anybody gives a shit. I'm sure yall don't.

I don't remember who it was, but one of the older folks in this thread (i'm thinking it was DAO) was talking about how back when switch was way more of a big deal and new(er), people were pushing like that so people actually realized their tricks were switch. I have no idea of the validity of this, but it does make a lot of sense. Any of the other older folks in here want to confirm/deny this notion?

 

 

 

I have no recollection of this conversation, but it sounds like something I'd say.

And it's the truth.

I planned on working today and yesterday for like 5 hours each day so I could grab a new setup and my boss only had me in for 2 hours yesterday and nothing today. So, no new setup for a while. It was my last days of work there and my last day at my other job was yesterday too. Fuck! It's gunna be like 2 weeks before I have another job and my board/ setup is shit.

Someone recently posed a " what if ? " question to me at the skateshop . If you had a skate company , who would your team be comprised of ? This is mine :

 

Pro Roster :

 

Darren Navarette ( Creature )

Matt Beach ( Skate Mental )

Peter Hewitt ( Anti Hero )

Peter Ramondetta ( Real )

Omar Salazar ( Alien Workshop )

Brian Anderson ( Girl )

 

 

Am Roster :

 

Lem Villemin ( Chocolate )

Taylor Bingaman ( Creature )

Ben Hatchell ( Powell )

 

 

I'd do a " Guest Board " for John Cardiel just out of respect . :cool:
