HAHAHAHA you're such an idiot. I'd be willing to bet money I'm way better than you at transition and skateboarding in general. I actually said the reason they're grinded down was because they skate transition. gipper You talk all this shit online but whenever i say see me in person you make some excuses or give me the run around. you're a faggot.

I posted a sequence of me doing a backside 5-0 270 out on a miniramp in the post yourself skating thread. You got that one? Why would I want to go skating with some dude who is just going to be competitive and hate the whole time? Especially when you actually live like an hour away from me.

My last trucks were almost there.

I remember being 11 and my cousin showed me his old board that had trucks that were ground down all the way down. I thought it was super bad ass and set out that day to learn to grind ledges.

I don't live quite in culver city, but still, maybe it is closer than I think. Also, you said you are never at stoner, I thought I saw you there one time and you told me you had only been there a couple of times. I'm down to skate if its not going to be a hate-a-thon, but as we've talked about (and you've hated on me for) with my schedule lately all skate session time is hard sought and difficult to come by. If you want to go out, and have a fun session, I'm down. I'll teach you some shit on tranny, you show me how to do proper nollie heels.

You know why you never see this shit anymore? Because kids stick to skateparks and plazas now and everything street is withering into the memory's of older kids who did their first 5050 on a ledge in their town and not a box at a park that dad brought them to. That's just my theory at least.

most of these dudes skate 90% transition. and to grind to the axle you have to keep trucks for a long time, which a lot of people don't do.
[close]
You fucking suck at transition. Don't talk shit. Especially considering grinding unwaxed pool block (which you have never done) will grind your truck down like a motherfucker. But again, you entered I $100 bet and had a year to learn it, and at the end of said year had 3 tricks, and appeared to be unable to keep your speed on a 3 foot mini, so don't act better than it.

And to the person wondering why somebody would grind to the axle of a truck- new trucks are the worst fucking thing ever. It takes too damn long to get them feeling right, and I don't go through that unless I have to.

i don't know if that's what he intended to do, but i don't see how anything cotg posted was talking shit on transition, read more like a counter-argument to bobbito's theory, and it made sense, considering the majority of the posts i read at least on that page consisted of people talking about how they did it through 5-0s and smiths on transition, and most of the newer generation of skaters don't really skate transition like that. in my local park, the only time the bowl really gets any attention is when kids are launching out of it, i've seen like two dudes actually grind the coping. i've had my same trucks for about two years now, but i know dudes who are down for new completes semi-regularly.

I've never gotten all the way to the axle, my trucks always end up breaking or fucking up somehow before I could even get close to grinding em down to the axle, so I replace em.
And I think i might be the only person here who actually doesn't mind breaking in new trucks. It's really not all that bad. I will admit though I hate it when I break a set of trucks just as I get them feeling right and turning the way I like em to.

I want to note how gipper changed when meeting me in real life was a real possibility. It went from you're a bitch and an idiot, to teach me nollie heels.

peacepappies · « **Reply #106 on:** January 25, 2011, 05:35:39 PM »

always nose/tail slide till the pivot cups blast out. Currently on my second baseplate, front truck on the axle, back truck is brand new cause my axles bent too bad.

The key is putting theory into practice. Want to meet up then go to venice park? I'd be curious to see how your claim that everything in the deep end of bowls pro tranny guys are doing is lame is based on practice.
