I went into the city today (bout 20 mins by train). I went to martin place and there this set of stairs thats like 3 bout 3-4m then another 3 then 3-4m and then a final set of three, me and a mate were just muckin around but we decided to play a game of horse after we'd got goin. The best thing i landed was like kickflip heelflip and then a 180, he won however with a backside 180 flip, frontside 180 flip and a big-assed melon to finish was good fun. Then we started tryin some "ol' skewl" moves like that one where you but ur hand on the ground while doing a powerslide. Heaps of fun.
 
Nice, Crayola. I wish we had some sites around here that had some cool step combos. It's just flat old Iowa though. :(

I'm in, I've been skating for 11 years. I skate mostly street, but I can skate ramp too. I used to be sponsored by "Supreme" which is a skate shop in NYC. I miss skating in NY, there's so much to skate, right at your doorstep. ;)

I would have to agree. I made a trip out there about 2 years ago, and man, that place had serious potential. You probably would find it harder to find a place that was NOT skateable.

I would sleep in the streets just to be able to skate there for a day. Housing is quite expensive.

Yeah, my last pad in NYC was $3,400 a month. ;)
 
Dang, Silvia. That's a lot of money. I don't have that kind of cash to fork around, so Iowa is my current residence. :D Des Moines ain't all bad, though. I get to go through the big plazas there for free. Not too many cops no what skateboarding is here. :D
 
i nearly got bashed skating today. these homeboys were threatenin me and my friend, just for skating at the park. throwin our decks round pushin us etc,etc. swearin at us and everything. he hit me, but we didnt say a thing or reacted. we jsut stood our ground.

its ****heads like that which gives skaters a bad reputation. i frickin hate them so much
 
what ass-wipes! My mate nearly had his $800 bike stolen by some stoners at my local skatepark.

Tossers...
 
dude our city is filled with asswipes. at another skate park, my mate, mikky, got mugged for his phone by these 2 guys with a bat
 
I remember seeing a skater down by the skate park near me in England get jumped by three 'townies' and he just got his board a walloped one of them with it. About ten other townies joined in attacking him an me and my friends just jumped in.

Before we knew it the whole thing was a huge riot with all the skaters trying to stop their mates getting beat up, and then the police turned up with vans and riot gear.

We ran over to the police an told them what was going on. They took our names and told us to wait at the vans.

41 people got cautioned, 2 skaters were arrested for having pot on them, 2 were charged with assault and 1 for GBH.

11 townies were arrested, 4 for assault, 2 for GBH and 5 for breach of the peace.
 
Dang! You'd think after all this terrorism shtuff, that people would kind of get along better. I guess you can't save the world from assclowns like those. What's the big deal with skateboarding, anyway, why is it so wrong to do? I would have loved to have been around for your battles guys. Not saying I'm God and would just punish them all, but I wouldn't rest, after finding out who it was, to stop their antics. They would find the side of me, no one wants to see. I have friends that vouge for this, they have seen me follow someone for 100 miles, before I got out and beat the living p1ss out of them. So, they learn to respect skateboarders the hard way. I can't take on huge groups, but one v. one, I'll smote them all.

Best of luck to you guys, in your quest to rid yourself of jerks like that.

Buy a taser ;)
 
I went skating again today, pretty much all I do now I got a new deck, i guess its better than playing CS though. Yeh anyway I managed to olly over 3 decks that were interlocked which is like a new record for me. since the decks are 8 inchges high Id say thats about 20 inches which is pretty high. Also managed an elusive heelflip to primo kickflip out combo, I getting alright at flatland which is fun, I wouldnt mind a good 6 or 7 stair set though.

edit: howd I manage to post this 3 times? lol
 
Bad luck, I guess. Well awesome ollie, Crayola. My best was I ollied over a folding chair once. I've been so out of practice, I doubt I could do it now. :(
 
lol how high was this chair? Its sounds like something I woulda liked to see. This guy I was with, jeremy can do 3 decks stacked to their full height and higher still, hes a bit of a freak.i surprised myself though, Ive really improved since my last dabble at the whole skating scene.
 
The chair is a typical folding chair, mid-back. I'd say total height would be about 3 feet. Just a guess though, not quite sure how tall. It was pretty amazing to me too. Didn't know I had it in me.

Me and millencolin will have to find Brisbane's local Tazer dealer and have a look! No more asswipes will be touching us then!

:)
 
Good idea Minimadness, no one should deal with anti-skater punks. They should be banned from life, if you get what I mean.

i got a better idea, my mate knows where to get illegal slingshots, and there is a shop in the valley that sell stuff like throwing knives:rolleyes: its the funniest shop. i think these throwing knives powered by an illegal slingshot will teach the ****ers a lesson:rolleyes: too far i know, maybe i should learn kung-fu or something
 
Throwing knives? Illegal slingshots? sounds pretty cool to me! Next time im in the Valley, i will look for that shop!
 
obviously its near china town


i had a bad stack trying to ollie this gap near me, grazed all up my arm and a knock on the noggin. thats what you look for
 
Nah.. I just take a BB gun out of my pocket and they alll s*** themselves.
:lol:

Fools, it couldn't kill a cat, let alone a human!:p
