One In A Million NYC

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

Really? D.C. is the only place with smooth pavement and marble? Is Manhattan the midwest now?
Also, I am referring back to the original "OIAM is going to be in NYC!" thread where half the posts were about how west coast kids were going to come to New York and sit on their asses half the time because they couldn't skate the super rough east coast spots, and also the real world outside of the message board.
As for why I have to do you like that? Shit man, finals then spring break. I'm sitting in a room all day and occasionally saying "eyes on your own papers only please." I'm bored and feel like boiling some blood, so I figured it would be fun to see if anybody who was claiming NYC was too raw for people from the west coast still want to defend that point. Guess not.

[jackherer]

so are you just bitter and angry on slap all the time because all you were able to do with your life is become a teacher?

[floop]

i grew up in Orange County and the skating there is about as raw as it gets

Maybe you should address that to the people who said it, not to people who never shared that viewpoint in the first place. I'm proud of the east, but half of my skate family lives in SF. I love the Bay. It's my favorite place to visit. But I never had a sense of "fuck you west coast guy" til you said "east coast loosers.".

Whatevs. I still like most of your posts.

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

^ Fuck you, I spelled losers right. I am addressing the messageboard where the point appeared and seeing who will come forward and still defend it.

oh, and  I could talk shit about any other region and they wouldn't get as butthurt and defensive. I talk constant shit on Southerners, Europeans, and Arizona people and they deal with it. East coasters flip out and try to argue me down instead of ignoring it and realizing that their impression of the place they live is the only one that matters.

You are named after a strain of weed. The shit you talk about others, especially their accomplishments, is invalid. I guarantee I have a better job than you, and there is no greater accomplishment than teaching youth.

God...you guys write so much. It's like a fucking dissertation...

I'm not reading all that shit

Oh, you!

[jackherer]

lol i just wanted to see how mad you would get...but im on my 2nd year of law school, already did 4 in uni... ill be a defense lawyer pretty soon, so you can bring up my user name all you want if it's any consolation to you, but that won't change the fact that ill be making a lot more money than you.... actually i probably already do, not that it really matters anyway.

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

Of course somebody stupid enough to go into LAW for the money would think I am ashamed of my job...Keep talking and I'll Diego Menenddez your dreams with pleasure.

[jackherer]

lol, it just seems weird to me that someone that goes to such great lengths to prove their intellect on a skate forum would be content with being a teacher....of course there's the possibility that you are not as smart as think, and you simply could not have made it in more intellectually demanding professions such as medicine, engineering, or....law! so you went into teaching and rationalize it to yourself with bullshit statements like "there is nothing more rewarding than teaching youth"

did i go into law for the money? yeah, I did, and I'm sure as shit not ashamed of that. But my sister went into medicine, and not for the money. she moved to africa and is working with Medicins sans frontiers..just to show you an example of what people who are actually intelligent, and also want rewarding jobs can do... what im trying to say is, if you were half as smart as you think you are, you would not have wasted away your potential teaching...

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

Going into law for the money? hahahahahahahahahaha. SO stupid.
Also, I've never said I am smart or think I am. Others think I am smart, and jealous cats claim I push the idea on people, when actually people just say I am based on what they read. Are you mad nobody says you are smart?
Oh, and how does it feel to always lose arguments to people with no legal training after 2 years of law school? I would be pretty embarrassed.

No, who are you trying to kid? You obviously think you are smart, it does not matter if you haven't explicitly stated it. I base that on not only the tone of your posts, but on the often ridiculous length of your posts.

And what arguments have I lost exactly? We are not arguing anything here. That is the difference between me and you, I've put effort where it counts, and that has resulted in me basically going to university for free, and having a guaranteed job at a law firm upon graduation. You have put all your effort into meaningless "arguments" on the internet, and that is why you are only a teacher, and I will be a lawyer, making substantially more money than you. You can say that teaching is the greatest job in the world all you want, but I have yet to meet someone who had the grades to get into law school (or medicine, engineering...whatever) who turned those options down to pursue a career in teaching.

Anyways, I have to go offline now, and chances are I won't be interested in this thing here that you think constitutes an argument come tomorrow morning. So just remember, winning arguments on the internet won't make you more successful or intelligent than me, no matter how hard you try to believe it. Just like "losing" this "argument" by leaving won't make me any less of a successful soon-to-be lawyer

What do I do when my teacher and my lawyer start fighting?

[ice nine]

Shut the fuck up jackherer, no one cares about your shitty life. you're a terrible poster regardless of your job.art hellman was a lawyer 5 years ago and wasn't a complete moron on here, so you can't use a stupid job as a fallback.

Man... I'm dating this girl right now that has the same exact delusional thinking as you. you live in L.A., right? Let me know if you want to me set you on a blind date with her when I grow tired of her bullshit. She's real cute and crazy in bed. You'll just have to deal with stupid comments like yours above on occasion.

[teets]

East coast niggas are better than everyone else, and im living proof ya fackin mark...

My last post must have been deleted. Were they slaves or employees? They chose money over respect, and now they have to live with their decision.

As for you guys saying I haven't been to the east coast, I go there regularly. Can an of you explain why I am wrong? Why is it the east coast is the only region in the U.S. that has special teams that only put on east coasters? Why is it a region that is filled with marble and smoothly paved sidewalks, but always bitches about how "rough" the spots are. The spots in the midwest are 1000 times rougher, but nobody says a damned thing about it, just east coasters. Then when people from away from the coast skate there, they kill it

hahaha so your bitching about how people on the east coast brag about shitty ground, then you go and say the exact thing but for the midwest? Then you said they have special teams with only people from the eastcoast, care to name some? If your thinking 5boro and zoo york your wrong. dave abair is from CA, jordan trahan from CA, forrest kirby from FL, chaz chicago.
 ? 
These OIAM kids arent "killing NY" besides them skating every skatepark in the city they got almost all there street footage at the basic downtown go to spots. Im not saying NY is tougher to skate but with most spots being at big office buildings the chances of getting a trick with security at it and pedestrians everywhere are less then a cali schoolyard. And please show me where all these people are bragging about shitty ground.

There are nice / shitty spots no matter where you go.  Can't we all agree on that?

pretty sure dave abair is from either maine or massachusetts

[Councilman Doug]

when does everybody walk off the show?

[Mad Lauder]

Instead of immunity for being able to do some task that is cool (high ollie, quick board set up) but very minuscule on the path of becoming a pro skateboarder. They should instead offer a large product give away (im assuming that they only got free product that one time) for being able to do these tasks. That way it still makes the contest seem fair and it makes the guys there feel like they actual got something out of they poorly orchestrated contest. Because we all know that board companies aren't looking to hook someone up because they have good narration skills, their looking for someone with good footage, which they failed to show until the 9th episode.

[cringe.]

by the sound of the results they should re-name this year's show 'None in a million'

i'm kind of doubting that the producers are going to put that in the show.  while they may have walked off, and tough-guy Lurker Lou may have gotten in a fight, i will bet you they will use whatever footage they have to try and make it seem like a normal show

[grimcity]

^ Man, I hope not... seeing the implosion would be entertaining as fuck!

Also, east and west coast heads, come visit the dirty dirty! NOLA's pretty rough and fun, and Baton Rouge's downtown is just like a big skate plaza. Bonus: everything's cheaper here... and they're barely over an hour away from each other.

[Eschaton]

Being from the East Coast and having skated the Gulf Coast (MS) pretty hard, I can whole heatedly say that the South does dwarf us on hard shit to skate. You guys have even less than us, worse ground, and insane humidity. Only up side you guys got is relatively mild winters. PS: I don't understand why there arn't more DIY spots on the Gulf Coast. After Katrina it seems like there are an endless supply of foundation spots in the form of leveled houses. We used to skate like people old steps and shit where there houses were, but I never saw anything get built.

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

I'm just fucking around for the most part. New York, Philly, and DC are some of the sickest skate towns in the world. Philly had particularly cool skaters.
I still do find it funny a second year law student thnks he has a guaranteed job out of school though.

[burm]

A student boasting about the job he's going to have is pretty funny actually.
