I forgot to mention this when skaters get in the way of cars, like we get it youre Ricky from EE3. Im sure anyone who drives loves it when pedestrians just randomly jump out infront of you, and then look at you like you are in the wrong.

I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned in here but skating shirtless when it really really doesn’t require it, it’s the middle of winter here and some oski lookalike clone decided to show up and shirts off 10 minutes into skating. He hadn’t even landed anything yet

the plastic water bottles... just get an actual reusable water bottle, far more practical & in the long run, cheaper.

You giving them more of a pass if they are landing stuff is equally troubling....

That sucked so hard. That whole video was pretty awful. No one landed anything and everyone looked pissed. Awesome.

"Teach" parents of little shit scooter kids the lessons of "skatepark etiquette" like it will make a difference.

I absolutely hate it when someone is getting pissed of at a trick and screaming obscenities when there are little kids at the park.

  I generally have a psychotic meltdown every time I skate, but at least I have enough self-control to not scream “FUCK!!!” 10 feet away from a 6 year old kid and his mom.

 Somewhat tangentially related to this why no matter how much I admire his skating, it’s hard for me to be a fan of T “what the fuck!” Funk.  I feel like Heath and Kerry Getz’s freak outs had a bit of class to them.  They are to Johnny Carson as T Funk is to Jerry Springer.
When nothing in society deserves respect, we should fashion for ourselves in solitude new silent loyalties.

When they have every flatground trick but cant skate a not small ledge, rail, or do anything at all on transition.

only hitting the last foot of a ledge
having shitty pushing style
I started getting a lot better when I went back to college and started taking a lot of math classes when I was 31.

I figured out how to figure things out better, if that makes sense.
