that sucks

 

then you go full thug and rack all ur gear

 

This is probably really obvious, but do you all just walk the rails until you get to the bridges or do you all park somewhat close? There's one near a back road with a nice gravel spot that would be easy to park, but I don't know if I'd want to park so close. By the way, I live in a real rural area where everything is pretty spread out.

 

park? with a car? dude i scoot to my spots

 

Scooting is the way to go bro, Razor is the best without a doubt.

 

Nah bruh it's skate or die. Leaves your hands free to fuck wit your tools too.

 

I only drive to a spot with car if it's on long distance. Otherwise I'll scooter, walk or even use a (stolen) bike. Last is my favourite, easy and you can leave it behind if there's trouble in paradise.

 

Skating is what i normally do, I'd only drive a car if I was exploring unknown parts of my city.

 

Or you know sometimes I jog long distances with my 2 dogs to the spots to be as stealthy as I can. Having hands free to give treats to my dogs so they dont bark and pass out from the paint

 

I was wondering, for my first can piece should I do a throwie? an actual piece? I got a chill spot, so that part is already decided, and one more thing, on the throwie I'm kinda sure I should use fat caps, what about the piece?

 

For a piece if you have just like a one color fill use a fat cap. Or whatever ya know. Just experiment and you'll find what works and what doesn't.

 

Aight man thanks and i should try throwies before pieces right?

 

tags come first, then throw ups, then pieces. You don't wanna have good pieces with trash hand styles and throw up. Master the correct order

 

I should actually get to doing throwies lol. Mine are actually garbage.

 

I have been doing tags, but this opens up one more question, anyone here who can't use square tip markers to tag? Idk if that 's me or the markers, but the only thing I've used so far is square tips and my tags are shit with it. And that 's frustrating because I think I 've been getting a lot better but can 't do proper shit in the actual street. And when I say the tags look like shit I mean it

 

When you do tags in your blackbook use your arm not your wrist. If you get used to writing by bending your wrist it won't translate into doing large tags.

 

thanks! maybe it's about that, it's like my arm's stuck when im tagging, like it doens't flow well.

 

^^

I'm the same. I just had to practice in blackbooks for a while and now its ok.

 

is a city with like 200.000 ppl considered to be big in a graffiti scence?
