I started skateboarding just a few years ago, can't say I'm very good at it but its enjoyable. Does anyone else here skateboard?

§pearhead
I do in the summer but I'm not very good at it.

SAtown_punk
I started skating in he 8th grade, so It's been 4 1/2 years. I took a break for a little while to focus on music, and because I moved away from all my friends and I didn't know anybody here when I first got here. But I'm starting again. It's a great way to relieve stress, and it's a great sport. Takes a lot of skill.

total metalhead
i been skating almost 10 years. last year i actually got a sponsorship and was on the verge of going semi pro, but i honestly dont think im good enough to go that far. plus i injure to easy.

DaRk Jester
i just quit it cuz i am tired skateing for my frends team sad

Dexx
awh...i'm terrible at it....caught quite a few nasty falls and gave up.
almost broke my ass (well...at least as much as you CAN break an ass, in th first place smile )

dragonpisces272
yeah you can never technically be a good skater unless you've fallen...hard.

SAtown_punk
that's not true. A lot of people can go a long time without falling. But it's impossible to never fall.

forumcrew
so ur saying u got sponsored at what 16? and quit... and if u were sponsered how were you on the verge of going semi-pro thats how u go pro you get sponsered and compete

sexybeast99
I skateborded since I was 4 my friends say i kick ass but i think im not that good!!!! sad

SAtown_punk
Just because you are sponsored doesn't mean you are pro. It is very common to have sponsors that don't necessarily pay you, but they give you merchandise. To become pro you actually have to declare that you are pro. It's actualy a legal term.

total nettlehead
i got it the wrong way round yes

and people much younger than me have got sponsorships, in fact i knew a 13 year old kid who got one. its a big thing in my community.

cgtuna21
skateboarding sucks... it's for punk rockers and gothics

total nettlehead
really? wow no offence but you are dumb.

cgtuna21
how

Linkalicious
you can't classify skaters with punkers and goths....they are totally different kinds of people.

And regarding the "groms"...i think there is a 13 year old kid that's actually pro. He kicks ass and gets wicked scores partially because he pulls technical tricks, and also because he's got killer balance on rails and coping.

SAtown_punk
There is a 9 year old boy who is sponsored. His name fails me right now, but he's very good.

Not all punks and goths are skaters, and not all skaters are punk or goth.

cgtuna21
skateboarding is a terrible sport. skateboarding is 4 dumbasses who can seriously get hurt. i'll just laugh when tony hawk tries 2 do a stunt and then falls and breaks his neck(not really) but I'll laugh if he breaks his arms or his legs

total metalhead
well if you've got such a problem with it get the fu'ck outta this thread

cgtuna21
how bout no this is a thread 2 talk about if it sucks or if u like it

DeNiro
I boughte a skateboard when i was in 5th grade i went out with it for about i would say 10 minutes came in threw it in my closet has been there ever since

shortieSarah07
i like skateboarding, i think its cool and fun...bam is my favorite skater

Chadman
hey cgtuna21, if I ever met you in person, I would get all my friends and we would beat the crap outa you. You can't classify skaters as anything, you are stupid jock. I have been skateboarding for about 3 years now. Through skateboarding, I have made friends because we love to do the same thing, Met new people, had amazing fun. Nothing is better than landing a sick trick. I don't know why you would say crap like that. Don't ever say crap like that because you have no idea what your talking about.

sk8er lad
wat up skating is gfreat and u dont like it coz u can barely olie and gave up its a sick scene to be a part of

sk8er lad

Australian_Sun0
Im just starting to skateboard. Its helping me to relieve stress and I think its a lot of fun. Though I get critisized a lot where I live because I am a chick. Does anyone have any tips for beginners? Or what you guys did when you first started out. I practice ollies and stuff on my street and curbs etc.. because im nervous about going to a local skate park because here skating is a satus which doesnt include a chick. And i hate people watching me and making fun of me because im not so great at it. Any pointers or tips please leave some. thanks.

RYO
**** yes I skate and i'm gay to,my favorite skater is bam.

RYO

Ya Krunk'd Floo
I'm an avid board-rider - surf, skate, snow, whatever - and I bumped into 'The Wave Board' at my local surf shop on Saturday. I had a 20 minute play on it, and I'm hooked! I plan on getting one latter this week. Once you get the hang of it, they are so fluid.

Anyone else had a play?

Street Surfing - The Wave Board

darth_dracus
wow looks no 1 has been here for a awhile.

darth_dracus
some 1 shuld come talk about the greatist sport.

Ya Krunk'd Floo
This is what I roll on. I've been at it for about 4 months now...It's so fun.

If you can find a long down-hill with not much traffic, you'll be loving the carves you can do. The only problem with the board is that the wheels don't last very long, especially the back wheel. The nature of the self-propulsion means that this is something you just have to accept. I usually go through a set of wheels every 2 weeks. If the weather is hot, then you can halve that time. It burns rubber, duuuuuuuuuuuuude.

darth_dracus
thats pretty cool.

Disturbed Angel
Hmph, I've been searching all over for a skating thread and couldn't find one. No wonder, the last post was posted over a year ago.... rolleyes1

Anyway, I'm quite amateur and would like some advice....

vandalworks
make sure you have good balance or you're screwed.

if you wanna get serious, have no fear. try whatevers out there and learn to fall.

Yes, have good balance, and don't try to do tricks that you know your not ready or aren't able to do, and skate everyday.

Disturbed Angel
Thanks, there aren't any skateparks here though, so it's gonna be quite some time before I can really get in some serious practice. But I wanna get really good. I hope to be able to do major street and vert tricks eventually.
