great weather
skated with all of my homies rather than just some
landed some nice feeling tricks
skating in new shoes that felt great
sessioned for about 6-7 hours both saturday and sunday
good vibe where i was skating
after i was done "getting tricks" i skated some flat and worked on making some of my tricks nicer, always had weak reg pop shuvs so i spent like an hour just re-learning them and now they feel noice

Having a lot of fun skating terribly. Couldn't land shit today, but neither could anyone else. One of those days.

Bombing hills on the way home from work , running some lights trying to see and hope I dont get hit . Sydney is prob alot like San Francisco in the hills department , super fun and scarry hills everywhere

Not worrying about what spot to go to or where your going to end up. Just skating, crusing through the streets. Going crazy fast and doing an ollie.

Just fucking around at a park with my friends.

Filming a buddy who was straight killing it.

Filming, having the cops called and bombing a hill. I'm pretty stoked on all three.
-The shit i filmed was just throwaway garbage. No comply up a little bump then Boneless over a tiny gap.
-Haven't had the cops called in a year so i forgot how exciting it is.
-I bombed this hill that leads to my house and a blue jeep pulls up. It does the jerky motion like "should i stay, should i go?" so it decides to go while im 10 feet away and i have to swerve massively to avoid getting wrecked.

Today made me realize how much i missed skateboarding.

Loose trucks, cutting through traffic, with a tailwind.

blew my knee out 5 days ago. Thought it was over for me finally. pushed around at park today and feel like ill be back full in a week. The more I skate the easier my body deals with injuries. gotta love la weather. no more forced haitus like back east. It is seriously the fucking fountain of youth.

Cruised down the streets of Buenos Aires today. Came so close to getting hit by a truck, but swerved out of the way just in time. My buddy said my backpack was actually touching the truck. Skitched a cab and the door started to open. Best feeling ever. Then we skated the most amazing empty fountain ever. It was awesome. Tomorrow we're heading for Uruguay. Who knows if there's anything to skate there but we'll find out tomorrow I guess.

i was in the parking lot of the supermarket so i took out my board, did a crispy tre flip first try and then put it back and went about my business.

YES! thats the sickest man, getting tres somewhat on lock is the greatest accomplishment of my life, fuck school or work, people dont understand, you just walked into that grocery store like a boss!

and that whole progression to warm up, thats what tres were for me, and ya, best feeling ever.

i will have to say like when you just get warmed up, and you do the first kickflip (which for me is way harder to nail than tres), as soon as you pop you know its flipping around leveled and you just stomp it, FUCK theres no drug that beats this shit!

This my man is troof

I just recently moved back to my home city, so skating and givin'r with the homies is also the best! unfortunately ive been on afternoons and havent really had much chance to skate all week, but i got an appetite for destruction and i don't think i'm starving this weekend

I don't like super loud firecrackers off curbs. I like these: YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Had a couple good slams at the park yesterday. I'd rather not be good than not be trying.

people like zach lyons make skating so much more enjoyable for me

Today the weather was absolutely perfect, and I've been stressing about stupid stuff lately, so I went to the park to unwind. Ended up skating a lot harder than I intended on and wore myself out like I used to when I was younger. Although I mostly skate by myself now, at least that part of me felt like I did when I skated with all my friends in middle school.

Being in a more rural part of Kansas has been amazing, too. In Kansas City, everyone takes skating so seriously. No one claps for each other, and it's actually intimidating to not be the best skater in a park. Here, everyone is psyched on everything and cheers just when somebody tries a trick. Incredibly refreshing.

My roomie got a bicycle, so I tried to follow him around parking lots, ollieing up and down curbs along the way.

First half cab flip in 10 years, then board slide to tattoo destroyer on dodgy asphalt.

this weekend i got to skate something i helped build. its hard as fuck to skate, but being able to skate something that you had a hand in creating was as gratifying as skateboarding can be...its the feeling of being part of something, which i feel has been lost a bit in skateboarding these days. it still exists, but i feel like its not as big a part of what skateboarding used to be. i guess is just comes with the popularization/homogenization of anything....

speak for your mother fucking self. I build shit to skate all the time, as do a fuck ton of other people. its awesome that you created something and skated it, but when you talk about it like that, it comes off insanely self-righteous.

Yeah I feel there's more DIY today than in the last 10 years, but this is a happy thread so I'm not gonna knock him for it.

I particularly liked not having to skate solo today, despite still being freezing cold out. Most people around here are really picky about when they skate, and I guess that's just part of getting older. But solo sessions make up about 90% of my skate time, so when the homies come out, I never take that shit for granted.

whoa...by NO means was I trying to come across as self righteous. i think what i said may have been taken out of context....what i was talking about had nothing really to do with building something. it had to do with skateboarding becoming super watered down, and popularized. when i younger, if you saw someone skating you had an immediate connection with that person. thats what I meant when i was about being part of something...that's all.

won a 6 man game of skate while stoned (everyone else was sober)

and had a long seshion on a wally wall (basically like a super steep bank, almost 80 degrees) which was great fun

laughing at this dude who was getting propper stressed over a trick for about an hour, throwing his board everywhere and screaming, at one point he even told a kid that if he got in his was again hed rip his fucking head off and feed it to the birds

finally got my pop shuvs and nollie fs 180s looking/feeling nice and propper

and generally it was just a beautifull day
