imported_YEAHMANWORD Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 That toy machine video was insanity. What was that like 1996? There was a maple video that came out around that time that was terribly underrated. I remember I found a copy of 411 volume 1 in some bicycle shop back in 96'. I wigged out and bought it. It was like 90 minutes long and was pretty entertaining. Featured a contest at the brooklyn banks with kids going nuts. there was a scene of them hopping up on a moving bus and hitting it up. Damn what else came out back then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isor357 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 yeah jamie Thomas is infuckingsane. That Toy Machine video is savage. Ramp building used to be fun. We built a 4 foot miniramp with a 5 foot extention and a flatbank in the middle. It was massive. Nearly 24 feet across if i remember correctly. There are mad skate parks in metro Detroit. Nothing in Detroit. Detroit sucks for everything but there is alot to write on. Hard to find origional spots these days but still tons of shit. I found a huge abandoned factory yesterday that has yet to be touched. It probably runs a half a mile deep. Its hard to find a good origional spot. You can always get some sloppy seconds but i likem fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isor357 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Whats that mall called in LA where the origional vans Skatepark is located? I hate the skate park these days. I'm 22 and i dont want to get hurt. No medical insurance. I go to the park and theres all these 12 year olds ripping and i feel like such a punk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isor357 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 yeah no shit. I float a kickflip over a pyramid ramp and im stoked then some little shithead goes and switch hardflips the same pyramid right after me twice as savagely. It almost makes me want to beat the youth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF1 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I hate Vans parks too. I got banned from the one in my area the only time I went cause I refused to wear pads. It was mad fun getting chased around the park by the 40 year old soccer-mom manager ignoring her screaming at me and just skating like she wasn't even there... Till the cops showed up. :haha: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isor357 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 i tried to get a job at the vans park out here. I would love to session it up after hours at a place like that. Nobody but my friends. I worked at a park for a little while and thats all we did until they closed. Skating all night long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manifesto Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 yeah the groms have balls and a lot of tricks, but they have no style....yet, plus kids like Ryan Sheckler will have the worst bones once they hit like 16, if they dont take it easy on the huge gaps and stairs... when rodney, tony hawk, and all those OG's were skating at the same age... nollie flip to crooks down a 20 set, then switch hard flip off the side of a building wasnt what they were used to... which is why they are still skating past the age of 30.

ERIZENO Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I was watching "wheels of fire" and "streets of fire" the other day, and came to the conclusion that part of the reason the little kids rip is what they have in front of them. They watch new videos and want to emulate them ... I watch them and shake my head at what I see as sheer madness. We had to invent new things and didn’t have that much to work with. Go back and watch animal chin ... it was a different world. Any super old schoolers in here ... pre-double tail boards?? Remember sessioning on a curb for hours ... busting Ollies down 10 stairs was super bonkers. A kick flip was mad effort due to the shape of the board. To expand on this thread.... How about we list your favorite movies in timeline order and the most revolutionary trick from each one?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted post Ha,ha, no doubt! That shit was a full-time obsession. 99 cent Whoppers was the daily diet. I'm lucky to get in an hour at a time too. Probably cause I hardly ever skate anymore.

I have been running on the regular to try to get my stamina back up just for skating. Old men trying to hold it down. back in the day we used to hide a Del Taco cup in Sears for the group of skaters and load up on $0.49 tacos and burritos .... fuck you guys are bringing me back to this shit.

Manifesto Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 also..i havent skated in like 5 years, so i have no more pop. my kickflips like roll on the ground...its embarassing. i think i can ollie like 3 decks only now...ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERIZENO Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 i used to be able to pop a full size rubbermaid trashcan off flat ground ... these days i would be lucky to get an ollie over knee high. so feel better knowing you can still get on a board ... i see all these young dads at the parks talking to the little kids like "did you see that movie Dog Town and Zboys ... I skated back then" to me its like fuck i stared about 5/6 years after that era and i still get on a board fucker, if you want to re-live those glory days get back on a board and stop the story telling.
