    i suck at skating ive mastered riding officialy but i cant ollie over a curb ive been skating for 2 years off and on but didnt skate much threw all that time was really scared of falling for a year i have this little rail thing that i forgot about ive had it for like 6 months and i havent even atempted to grind it or pretend to evn grind it

    i youstu be alright at doing tiny ollies but most of the time now when i land my feet dont go on proper and my board always turns to the side a bit any yall get this ever. th only ting i can do about it is skate more i wish i had someone to skate with my friend has a long board and we ride around lots and sometimes on hills i ask him if he would want a real board and to get good at skating but he dont want to he just likes long boarding every where just like his brother and cousins that make vids

    Just learned how to 50-50 down a ledge today (downsloped ledges, aka hubbas or whatever you want to call it). I was always so scared to try, but after landing it I was so suprised why it took so long haha.

    My girlfriend's brother just came into the place that I work (it's like a skate shop) and bought a deck, so I've been skating with him showing him stuff. I'm so happy with the nice weather. All my time is usually spent out there at the parks or practicing flatground haha.

    I love skateboarding. :rolleyes:

    I WENT TO ZUMIZES 1nce and they had shoes in like idk if it was a used section er sumthing but they had shoes fer like $5 and they wer pretty good 2....

    but otherwise i would recommend koston 7's i think they were called they might be kinda expensive but they last like 999 times as long as most shoes do and is worth the extra money

    also nikes are pretty good mine ripped the ouside layer VERY fast but ther is another layer that is like rip proof from wut ive seen so far...

    find an outlet store in your area, it sucks but usually theres a zumiez that sell 80 dolla shoes for like 30, i fucking hate zumiez to death, but when your broke there ain't much else to do, or bumb shoes off your friends like i do.

    yea, flatbars actually help you a shitload. basically any trick you're going to want to do down a handrail, you're going to have to know how to do on a flatbar first. i know you can get them from CCS, but if you know somebody that can weld, just buy the materials and have them weld you one. just google like "homemade flat bar" or something.

    and i haven't been able to skate for a little bit because i sprained my ankle. i sprained it like 2 1/2 months ago, but it's still hella fucked up. i managed to learn nollie nose mannies and nose manny pivot switch mannies today though.

    yeah my friend has like an old car bumber, but its SO perfect, how it curves down at the ends too, its dope, but we dont have anything to weld it to...plus i just want a flat bar, just to fuck around with.
