ohnoone Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 im curious.. so is all your momentum from just running and throwing the board down? also what kind of shoes do you wear. seems like your feet would be wet as hell. and whats up with the griptape?

oh_snap Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 a lot of the momentum is either running or spots that are downhill. i've always just worn skate shoes and haven't had much problem, but i actually think some company is making snowskate specific shoes now. and the griptape on mine, which is older, is this foam kind of stuff. a lot like what's on a wakeskate.

Edward Orenthal Norton Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 skateboarding is always best in the street. and rarely in parks. yes some parks are epic and are some the best things in skating. but nothing beats finding a nice skate-able pool, a smooth ledge, a ditch with a great hip in it. you cant replicate those things in a skatepark it just doesn't have that soul that it has in the streets. /incrediblystonedramblingoner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERIZENO Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 I will . :lol: That is just some old man bullshit. The kids have a point. If you are 27 or younger and you put out a video part you better not have more than 20% of your tricks in a park. As for day to day riding, to each their own!!

CELT Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 This old man loves to push around the city . I just don't think spending an hour trying to do a handrail or a stair set is worth it...pretty silly to me . Day to day riding , Cleveland was just voted #1 Worst Weather for a city to live in . If I can hit up a rad park in Southern Ohio , so be it . The weather makes for some amazing warehouse/mini ramp/bowl setups you'd only find in the Midwest because of the shitty weather .

DrPiddlesworth Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 For the snowskate thing I don't see why they just don't totally shovel out the area and the just skate it. It seems warm enough at least in that video. The only reason why I don't like to skate in the winter is the cold. You can move snow. Speaking of that I was skating a pool that was like half filled with snow today because there was nowhere else to put it and the walls are too high for it to easily get pushed out. It was still a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CELT Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 This poor man died giving a passionate speech in favor of a new skatepark in a town where I live nearby . Bay Village not only needs to build this park but name it after Randy Stang . There is an audio link to his speech . http://www.cleveland.com/brett/blog/index.ssf/2010/02/bay_village_mans_last_words_we.html The PSG ( Public Square Group ) http://www.publicsquaregroup.com/thank-you-randy-stang For his final statement he pointed to the overhead photo of the park and highlighted his house on the map…. “You can put that skatepark right in my back yard.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if a Japanese dude named Hiro used to skate for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CELT Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Hiro does indeed skate with them , and is more or less their liaison in Japan when the team comes through . Hiro got some footage on Hesh Law which was nice . Hiro's myspace page ---> http://www.myspace.com/1004496269 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
