Who doesn't have a spitfire sticker on their bike? I think I complained about that in my rant too originally, something about a spitfire sticker there and an antihero eagle on the frame but cut it out. I think I compared it to fucking another girl while telling her how much you love your girlfriend.
Gipper I love ya man, but I disagree with you 100%. If I want to skate I will go skate, when I lived in SF I skated every and use to go to the store etc... here in Portland a lot of the streets and sidewalks are rough as fuck and worthless for skating on, I would rather ride my bike to the store then walk holding my board.
I like riding my bike and I like skating, I don't care if that makes me uncool.
Lets say 50% then. You disagree with me that biking is lame. But you do agree that where I live, its not too off base to just ride a board and nothing else, right? I did point out when Grim said something that it may have a lot to do with where I live- a skateboard works as well and is more fun, given the amount of stupid little spots that you would never stop to session, drive, or ride a bike to, but can be cruised through. Shit, I got a lot of routes that I created specifically because of the spots, I'd feel like an idiot bike riding past them.
The hipster shit is not why I think bikes are dumb. I see too many kids cutting out on skating to go ride bikes and shit, and it just annoys me, and I don't understand it, which probably annoys me even more.
Maybe my perspective caused me to be a little harsh on the bikers here. As long as you don't tell your friends that you can't go skate because you are going on a bike ride (unless its a bike ride with a girl- that's cool) its all good I guess. I'd still rather have a cruiser set up than a bike. I guess biking to a skatespot is at least getting you to a skatespot, though I'd be embarassed to do it
