Skateboarding

[millencolin]

today i managed to pull off a roll-rock and roll. i was quite proud. i usually get the roll-rock part, but never the second roll as the halfpipe i usually skate in is lumpy at the top. different (albiet smaller) halfpipe and landed it first go

I havnt done anything good for a while because I havnt skated much. I plan on skating tomorrow.

 

[toyomatt84]

Yeah, well my board is in Wisconsin, and I'm here in Iowa. Kind of hard for me to get up and go skating. It's starting to suck, I want to skate.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Ever since I started high school I havn't had as much time to skate.

 

[toyomatt84]

Same here, but only college instead of highschool.

 

[millencolin]

same ere, instead its senior high school instead or yr 8,9 and 10

 

[Cap'n Jack]

My goal for this year is to skate atleast 3 or 4 times a week after school.

Last night I was skating in my garage until about 1 am trying to get that combo I did it about 3 times i think, thats in about 2 hours. Here's my local skatepark, I rarely go there cos I dont like it much and its better if your goofy. (which Im not) I prefer going into the city.

Well Im in yr 10, actually theres stil another week of holidays but I am gonna sakte heaps when school goes back, It'll mostly be in my garage until I finish my funbox (I've made blueprints and bought the materials already) in a few weeks. Id love you guy to come for the christening of it, but I guess thats a bit hard from 1000+ km away.

I was supposed to build a ramp in my back yard but it didn't happen. All I have is a crappy 1/4 pipe.

how bout i just book a virgin blue flight down there and christen it with ya.

weve been getting a lot of storms in brissie lately. time to whip out the old crappy decks for some sess slide action. i stacked it pretty bad trying to 540sessslide. all in good fun though (until you hit the massive hidden pothole filled with water and get covered in mud)

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Im gonna go skate tomorrow after school, because I havnt skated for so long. I hope I can still do all my good trick's!

 

[KosmikFool]

Well, my friends and I are just about done with our Quarter Pipe. It's 4 feet tall and 4 feet wide. Once we're done with it, we're building a tabletop/funbox for my Ramplogic slant ramp I got for Christmas. Oh the sweetness.

How? And especially, was it on purpose?

 

[Cap'n Jack]

I think I have got bored of skateboarding! I recon I should skate more to get back into it. Anyone else got any good idea's to get me back into skating.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Hahaha, I just saw a kid riding down my street on his skate board and he stacked it, he was on the ground for about 5 minutes.

Crazy gaps. Just get two pieces of wood and start increasing it until you can't do it anymore. Do some handrails, ollie some stairs. Make a video. Anything!

 

[millencolin]

go down an insane hill and get awesome speed. thats what i do when im bored

 

[KosmikFool]

Man, I'm pissed. We can't get the plywood to bend right on the Quarterpipe. Meh, we'll figure something out.

 

[millencolin]

i saw the worst stack today at my local. this kid was trying 50-50 stall the halfpipe and he slipped foward and smacked the back of his head on the coping. blood and everything. i t was awful.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Ouch!

I fell off the kicker at my skate ramp which is about 2m high and I landed on my head, I didn't bleed or anything, all I got was a lump and I blacked out halfway threw falling to the ground.

 

[millencolin]

noice stack that.


im so cut. i tried bout 300 times today to try and land a double primo flip. landed it one footed bout 15 times. its so hard. ill get it one day

 

[Cap'n Jack]

I can't do premo flip's but I can do premo's the jump so I'm facing the other way then I go into a casper stall thingo then flip back, and sometimes flip back with a little shuv-it kind o thing.

 

[toyomatt84]

When I want to exit a Primo with a flip trick, I make sure my back foot is past the rear truck on the edge of the board. This way, when I throw the move, the board gets a little rotation into it, making it easier to invoke the flip and also adds some shuvit flare.

Basically when I'm ready to throw the move, I pump my body down, then flip on the uprise, starting with my rear foot. It tosses the rear of the board into a loop and then I throw the front foot to make up for it on the other end. After that, try and make the board get stable under you and land the shizzle.

I got a skateboarding DVD with my cereal, maybe that will get me back into skating. I'm gonna watch it in a minute.
