Things passersby say to you when you're skating

[finknoos]

last year i was getting kicked out of a spot by some female security guard and was trying to reason with her to let us stay.
Then a white van drove past and someone leaned out the window and shouted "LEAVE EM ALONE YA OLD HAG"
We all laughed...except for her

[Seamus_McShamebag]

A security guard came to kick us out of a spot and then started reciting random numbers. Or to me, they were random numbers. My friend who I was skating with wrote them down (he's a certified genius), then took us back to the spot a little later. Sure enough, those numbers were times of shift changes and breaks taken by security guards.

I kinda wanna go back so I can high five that first guard.

I know I am not supposed to ask but, is your name Tyler Durden?

Who are you

[Baron Samedi]

An old classic, "Do you skate more street, or vert?"

[handsclapanin]

here's another funny one. there was this mini ramp. and i decided i wanted to roll in off this roof into the ramp. about a 5 or 6 foot drop. and you had to go sideways. it wasn't behind the deck. so i climb up on the roof and i'm eyeing it up. there was an apartment complex next door. this guy sticks his head out of the 2nd floor window and sees what i'm doing. he yells out "if you even try that, I'll buy you a 40". right after i tried the first one; he asked what kind of 40 i wanted. i told him MGD. and he went right off to the store. came back about 5 minutes later with my drink. took me about 10 tries, but i got the roll in too.

[ricky]

after having stupid trick ideas yelled at me too many times I started yelling at kids to just do really really hard tricks on curbs like "HEY KID! hardflip back tail front bigspin out on that curb! ........... most kids dont land the tricks

[Pike St]

Best one this past summer, "Did you go this weekend!" "Baker?" "Yeah!" "It closed?" "Yeah!"...She was hot as fuck. Super random to blurt out, but what she was wearing was not that random for how she was hollering. Black mini leather skirt, black blouse, sexy as fuck blonde. We were in the midst of stacking too. Straight Vidal Sassoon commercial.

At least I don't hear stupid fucks trying to parent me like I do on here...sounds like some of you hear strangers trying to parent you on the streets. That must suck in person. I highly encourage you to tell them to fuck off.

i was bombing a hill today and a car slows down next to me so thats its going the same speed. i wasnt in the best neighborhood so i was a little worried at first. i look over and as soon as i make eye contact the guy starts singing "kick push" and continues to all the way down the hill. i was pretty hyped

[papasmurfsdog]

Someone said this to me when I was skating along and did a 360 flip on flat ground.

"Wow, bro, that was sick. I'm filming for a long board video, you want to be in it?"

[codithou]

Nobody bothers me when I skate. I occasionally get the "Do you got a lighter/smoke?", to which I reply, "No."
Maybe it's from growing up in southern California where skateboarding is really common.

a few months ago I got 'skater weirdo' and last week I got 'wanker.'

one time some bros in a truck yelled at me saying "faggot"
SO I went near their car and yelled back at them, "so what if i am gay." they drove off with their jock tails in between their legs.

[Jive Turkey]

^You showed them.


In Japan every bonehead walking down the street dramatically jumps out of the way when you skate by, regardless of how fast or close you are to them, and mutter "abunai na" (that's dangerous). Yet they don't bat an eye at hundreds of the reckless idiots on bikes riding around like they're drunk while texting.

[mooraga]

"do a flip-flop!" (or some kind of shit like that, refering to a kickflip in the most stupid way possible)

[waxhead]

dunno about you guys but every time i see another skater regardless of anything else i yell at them poser

[formeitscrazylike]

Probably ABD, but I absolutely fucking hate it when people say "Oh I used to skate!" Used to is past tense, meaning you don't skate, so who the fuck cares?

Spent a little time in Osaka/Tokyo/Kyoto this summer and I noticed that. Sometimes people jump into the way even. Like they thought I was gonna cut right at the very last minute, so they jump left... right in front of me. Happened a few times.

I never understood what pedestrians are thinking. I see you, fool, just keep on your current trajectory and everything will be fine. People get all jumpy and shit and then it becomes a hazard to go through crowds.

But oh man, skating down Market St in SF. The noise a skateboard makes on those bricks relays:

1) Roughly how far away you are
2) Approximate speed
3) Whether you are coming up on the left or the right.

Sometimes cruising down Market made me feel like a fucking great white shark casually swimming through a school of fish. Hundreds of people just parting the way in front of you and then closing in behind you again. Fucking awesome.

"aren`t you too old for this?"

Right?! WTF?! Happened to me 3 fucking times last night in 10 minutes just skating from work to a spot in Namba. Afte which my friend fakie-flipped right into a cop on patrol.
Good times.

"aren`t you too old for this?"

A guy at a bus stop shouted "GROWN MAN ON A SKATEBOARD!?!?!" at me yesterday as I skated past, and I returned "YOU'RE WAITING FOR THE BUS BITCH!"
