Hey.

 

Just so we have something to disagree about.

 

I dont like skating switch either. In video parts sometimes I dont even notice when someones skating switch. It would be a lot more impressive if it wasnt done to frequently, so it was obvious they were not skating regular.

 

Some people I "skate with" are learning all there tricks switch. I dunno, maybe I should jump on the boat. I just dont see why.

 

Its my least favorite stance. It LOOKS exactly like regular, its just harder... Im all for challenging myself. But... maybe im just lazy.

 

do whatever you want dont diss skating switch though that just means someones steppn up their game.

small rant - anyone been to rye airfield skatepark in NH? Fucking place is amazing, but i smashed the shit out of myself (knee is fucked, probably going to go in for x-rays today when i find how much my insurance covers) trying to skate there yesterday because of some goddamn 5 year old whose parents were NOWHERE to be found. this little kid jumped in the middle of the mini ramp transition right as i tried to transfer, took him out and also my right fuckin knee. then happened a SECOND time skating the combi-bowl and three little kids around the same age with no parents whatsoever around throwing their skateboards in the bowl while dudes are skating it, and laughing their asses off. i'm sick as hell of parents using the skatepark as some sort of 14 dollar-for-three-hours babysitter, the first kid i see get in front of me next time, i'm not going to hesitate, i'm just going to try to stick my fucking trick instead of baling.

 

anyone agree? god knows this is all over the place. the only park that i haven't seen it that bad in is skaters edge in taunton (MA), most other parks are pretty goddamn bad.

but you gotta wear a helmet [and elbow pads if youdont have long sleeves on] at the sole tech park....wack.

 

What ... so many parks in the same area are manditory full battle gear or face tickets ... you show up to Lake Forest and rock pants, sleeves and a helmet. Thats no big deal ... unless you need to bitch about lame shit.

Shit my drive there used to be my daily commute (for 6 years) ... to do it a few times a week/month for skating and its no worries.

 

Plus its only 25 minutes for me no traffic.

So from futher out it would lose its appeal real quick, like me going to Chino. I only skate there after visiting my cousin in Chino Hills.

chino park is fun as hell.

the concrete is a bit too slick, but the hips they got are fun.

plus cops dont sweat you for not wearing pads.

 

i skated some lame park in laguna niguel yesterday,

kids went running when a cop drove by.

all those transitions sucked.

 

Chino is super fun I just dont get out there too often.

 

was that the Pink Park ??

 

If so ... I didnt have much fun the one time I went.

Dawgs I feel you!!!

 

I don't know what the fuck's the matter with parents these days.

Half the time they're standing right there watching their 30 to 40 pound 2 and 3 year olds running around getting in the way, using banks and quarterpipes as sliding boards without a care in the world.

Like it's a fucking playground.

As if the kids ain't in harms way with a bunch of 150 to 200 pound full grown adults flying around at full speed.

 

WTF???
