i used 2 skate but i just kinda got out of it... plus i had no money to fix my board zeros blow!!!! board broke in half on a freakin board slide how fed is that!
03-07-2005, 10:33 AM
Yeah my friend has a zero and his boards chipping all up on his tail and stuff...
We were skating today and I was doing a wrap around and trying to do a pogo. (Yeah...). So I told him to try and a huge chunk of his board ripped off... some funny shit. Anyone ever try a handflip? I can get into a handstand moving and I can land just a normal handstand, but handflips are damn hard.

Nice... I'm riding a world industries board, phantom 2 trucks, bone swiss bearings (ceramics I wish), and somehow I forgot what my wheels are... Some 52 mm kinda lightweight ones.
My adios just ripped completely in half today though. So I have Emericas on the way I think, Tilts. I was gonna get Reynolds 2 but everyone says they aren't durable at all...
03-07-2005, 11:44 AM
LOL you used adios...omg...
etnies have proven best for me but i dont know about others...i skate a blind board with lucky+ berings and 52mm spits...i also am very good at grinding and varials, i usually skate street but i can skate vert when my friends want to

I used to skate.. alot. Then, I realized that very few chicks liked it and I sucked at it, so I started drinking, smoking, and playing guitar.
No, but seriously, I used to skate a hell of a lot. I lived it from my Freshman year to the end of my Junior year. It's pretty crazy, most people wouldn't even guess I skate. I guess they are just wrong  I actually thought about doing it sinse a recent event happened. I need some money so I can get some quality gear. I don't skate element or any of that shit, though. I support my local scene; get out, go to your local surf/skate shop, stock up. Rep yo hood, fools! I don't like the whole cliche skating thing, though. I don't skate to be like Bam Margera or to make it big; I do/did it because my cousins did and I tried it and it was fun. I entered a few skating contests at the OLD Inland Surf Shop in Gainesville, Florida. This was before Bill died. Actually, I don't expect any of you to know about Inland or Bill, as I doubt any of you live in Gainesville. Inland is now 'Freeride Surf Shop.' I despise the place. Yeah, I'm a skater at heart

I used too, just had a cheap ATM board with red's bearings and blank trucks. It was better then my buds Blind or Darkbattalion thingy. Still have it in a matter of fact, I bought my ATM board after I almost cracked my BAM board.

03-08-2005, 08:29 AM
This is what I have to work with as of now-
Deck: Black Label Script Deck Trucks: Ventures Wheels: Spitfires Bearings: Zero Black Widows Hardware: Monkey Nuts! Also, I wear Adios as well and they seem to hold up pretty well for me.
03-08-2005, 10:02 AM

03-08-2005, 10:16 AM

I never had bearings that were as quick brand new as they were when they were worn in. I've had them for months now and they're still holding up just fine. I'll never ditch my zero bearings.

im pretty good at skating...i participate in competitions at the local skatepark in my area....
right now ive got a: girl deck royal trucks speed demon bearings and blind wheels
03-09-2005, 10:38 AM
yea i do competitions but they dont really let me win...LOL...its normaly for amature skaters not vets like me...i've been skating for 8 years..wow long time now that it think about it hmmm
well tell some tricks you guys land i landed a 360 flip off a 6 foot ledge and pressure cracked the hell out of my board doing it alll that day
03-09-2005, 12:01 PM
the last thing i landed was a double heelflip off a kicker.....that was an accomplishment for me.....ive also landed a 360 flip once or twice...im not too good at spinning the board as fast as i like
i still enter myself as a rookie...most of the ppl there know im not but i still put myself as a rookie to see if i can get away with it...if so ill just give other ppl the win ive gone thru about 3 decks so far....one was a blank board, the other a blind board and im on my second girl board....the royal trucks have lasted for a while ^.^......but i always kill my bearings doing a primo..killed about 5 sets so far..i love that trick, its great in horse
03-12-2005, 10:45 AM
At one of the elementary schools that I live near, we always skate on the roof of it, and bring a little kicker my friends and I made and just play around in the parking lot.
I hate where I live... There is literally NO place to skate that's half decent. There's the sucky skatepark which I wanna raise money for, the church, schools (not so great), and my friends garage. We're always looking for new places to skate.
03-14-2005, 02:30 AM
i know what you mean about no places to skate:confused:....i skate in my basement and garage because the nearest paved road is like a mile or two away from my house
 may michigan be damned:mad: well yeah my abilities on my board are being able to pop about any flip trick that you can think of...not being able to land any of it thoughi can only land fs and bs 180's:confused: i can do an occansional boardslide, maybe a 50-50 if im lucky....i leave grinding to my snowboarding bag of tricks...but yeah, im only good at street, all i can do on vert is drop in:confused: ill get better at that though when all the snow melts...board: enjoi trucks: tensors wheels: no clue...generic brand wheels:blank: grip: black magic (that should be everyones grip) bearings: flip hkd's stickers: too many
