STUFF SKATE PEOPLE DONT LIKE

[Mr_Friendly]

bmxers

even worse

9 year old bmxers

It really pisses me off when some of my friend and I clean up a spot or even better build something and when we finally get to skate it, someone invites a fucking kook who does nothing but complain, "you guys said you swept the ground?, this ledge isn't really that buttery! I keep sticking!" 

I now alot of these dudes, even if the scenario is perfect they will blame their shit skating on something else. I personally say "Wow, I'm skating like shit today, I should probably practice more so I can win the Dew Tour and have steezy style like Jeremy Rogers!"

Up until Sunday I thought losers only did this to skateboarders. But me and my friend were hungover, goofing around playing tennis. Some dude drives by the court, slows downs and is like "YEaeeaeEEEEaaaaaa TENNIS, FAGS!!!" and drives away. How awesome is that.

It's probably happened to me 100 times while doing everything from skating to riding my bike. I do not understand while assholes do that. They don't even say legible words sometimes they just go "BLEEAKKAAA!!!!!" and startle me. I feel like an ass for being startled because this is the reaction they were hoping for. stupid fucks.

when people try to show you up and start trying the trick you are trying. Worst is when they bust it before you.
People that skate for the wrong reasons. Those who practice their runs at a skatepark for a contest thats only in 3 months.
People that whine about not being sponsored.

[H8R part 4]

people(who haven't been skating very long)trying to tell me whats up with skating.
the bandwagon skaters buying into whatevers hot, then claim they were down the whole time. 
cocky skaters....they should just join the basketball team or something.
kids who say they're core but buy their stuff at a chainstore, online shop, or a mall store.
BMX'ers. we do all the legwork in getting a park built, only to have these assholes destroy it, then we get blamed for it.   
 




i'm guilty of being the it looks like its going to rain guy.
i hate riding out to some spot and it starts raining.
theres nothing i hate more than getting my board wet.
rain is like skater kryptonite.

How does being black make this behaviour better? being "hard" and mean is lame, no matter what color your skin is...

[Bill]

That shit is the worst. Straight up jock skating. What goes through someone's head when they do that? "Oh, I can do that trick first try. Fuck this dude, I'm so much better than him. When I land it I'm going to stare him down just so he knows who the big dog here is. That'll show him for trying a trick."

[H8R part 4]

i left out one of my biggest hates

kids who do tricks right in front of/right next to you when you're sitting down.
if you bail and shoot you board into me we're gonna have problems.
you can show me your bag of flip tricks from across the way.

Clowns.

rain is like skater kryptonite.

I also hate getting my board wet but I would rather get some skating in before the rain.  If it looks likely it'll rain i'll sometimes bring a garbage bag to carry my board in protected from the rain when it starts. If I have a back pack when I'm out skating there is usually a bag in there no matter what.

I can get really frustrated with scoaching.  Seriously at least half the fun is figuring out how to do the trick your trying to learn not having someone give you tips without you asking.  Scoaching is whack, but a little encouragement such as "this try" is ok.

you and i are a lot alike.  i also carry a plastic bag if theres even a remote chance of rain. 


haha, scoaching! i've probably been guilty of this without knowing it.
i've given out my fair share of tips but its usually the same tip....
"learn how to ollie first, when you mastered that, then the rest of the tricks will come".   

[skatemore,man]

cracked bushings

saying what's up or dropping the nod to someone else who is skating and they look at you, without even the nod and walk away

slamming first try of the day

older dudes at the spot/park purposefully negatively influencing younger kids with drugs

kids 7 years younger than me wearing wrist bands and skating tight trucks while giving me shit because black flag was rocking the spot

broken glass

My buddy jon is always saying things to the younger kids (he's 24) about how "you'd better skate while you can.... you're gonna get old like me and this dude (pointing to me) and then......) shit's embarrassing as hell. I always tell the kids that he's just a drunk and to avoid that. the dude gets pissed every time....

ill add then:
when im thinking about doing a trick, and someone tries it before i do.... so many times ive been thinking "im gonna try this next" and someone im skating with will try it.  then i feel i need to wait till at least they land it or give up before i can try it... unless its a friend, then ill ask em if its cool, or tell them im gonna try it with them.

burnouts that ask to try your board. It's fine if they have some remotely interesting input, and I won't even get annoyed if they try to give me a tip, but some of them just straight up piss me off. They get mud on my grip trying to do a stationary kickflip in the grass, or ask me who the little condom man on my deck is - they only skated hook-ups "back in the day".

As previously mentioned, people that try the same trick you are. I either go on to something else, which makes me feel like I'm the skatepark bitch, or I just ignore them, which brings with it some strange vibes.

Little kids that come out of nowhere and tell me my nollie 360 doesn't count because I pivoted at the end.

Pretty much anything little kids do while skating.

Pretty much anything people my age do that don't skate, which ranges from sitting on their bikes and watching me to trying to intimidate me.

Older people who try to stop skating for the good of the community or something, not because it is directly harming them. There is this guy that rides around on a bike and kicks me and my friends out of any public place, regardless of whether or not we're skating or how much noise we're making. He's threatened to call the cops, and then when we tell him to do it, he decides to "let us off with a warning."

People who sit on the ledges at the park. I guess they just like role reversal. Skaters enjoy skating things that weren't meant to be skated, so they sit on obstacles that are supposed to be skated.

[StabMasterArson]

Flatspots
getting old
kids who only skate 4 feet of a 30 foot wide ramp
people who use the flat bottom of the ramp as a mannual pad.

[Binomial Nomenclature]

people who use the flat bottom of the ramp as a mannual pad.

I give this one the ok as long as no one is skating the ramp as a ramp; but as soon as one person is skating the ramp as a ramp, manny time is over, no exceptions.

[nice weather]

I hate when there's a lot of people around.

I also hate when I'm skating with PopwarOfGuns and he goes : "hey, no offense Christopher, but you can't do that. Thought I'd tell you now when you're still in a good mood. I mean, you can go on trying, it's cool, but I'm just saying it's not gonna work. You're pretty far from landing it actually. We can come back later and you'll totally make it then but right now I don't see how you could possibly make this within the next couple of hours. Its all good though, I'll just stand here and wait and stare in the sky or whatever, you just mind yourself, just thought I'd let you know."
I'm not sure if I made it in the end, probably not, but it was annoying. See how much you hurt me Popwar?!

[TheKarmessiah]

-other skaters who use "it might rain later" as an excuse not to go out skating; well shit then, let's get out skating and have a session before the rain comes rather than sit around because "it might rain later".

preach

[GhostBusters]

I think the worst is people who see you skating and go out of their way to stop it. The ones that call the cops and then come over and tell you they are on there way. And then when you get mad they act like it is not their problem. Which it isn't but they called the cops anyway. Far too many of them in this old folks town I live in.

[Blue Fescue]

I scream "skate or die" at everyone i see skating when i drive by. It's kind of like a right of passage when you finally stop getting pissed about it.

When I was 14 or 15 someone yelled at us and we gave them the finger and yelled back.  It turned out it was
a older shop employee.  He was so proud of us.

I feel your fucking pain dude. Moved away from my home town to some shit hole in terms of skateboarding. No one to skate with, no where to skate (that's within skating distance), just sucks here.

Friends who I used to skate with dropping off one by one, and those who are still down for a skate sesh are either working all the time, or doing shit like going to "shows"...

back on topic, this may only be something I experience, but I tend to have to get used to new decks for a day or two before I feel comfortable with them and can land stuff normally. I hate it.

ME GUSTA CUANDO LA MUJERE DE VILLA MEYA QUIEREN CHUPAR MI ENE CUANDO ESTOY PATINANDO! 

[ice nine]

injuries, especially when you are travelling to certain cities solely to skate.

the lack of etiquette at a skatepark, ie. taking three runs before another person gets one.

kids who learn early grabs and therefore think they never have to learn to ollie. early grabs in general lately

lakoston nuibuck leather shoes and a lack of decent flat, pretty much losing all will to skate street. and all of my limited tricks too.

spending an hour on a trick only to get kicked out/rained out when you are getting close.

getting hurt while not skating

eating shit doing a basic trick, also when you are sure you've got something and die unexpectedly, always the most painful for me.

losing tricks


im sure they have this shit at home, but the park im near has only one entrance and its kind of a bitch to even walk through, im assuming its to keep bikers out. its a great idea, 10 foot fences too. i think hastings is like that maybe?
