Biggest pet peeves while skating.

[idealhandmades]

7-headphone kid sitting on the ledge, not hearing you asking him to move from across the park.

Having to deal with this every fucking time I go to the park.
There's not 1, but 2 full sized bleachers just on the other side of the fence. if you wanna sit down and take a break, do it there. Don't assume that just because you and your dumb buddies don't skate it, doesn't mean no one else wants to.

and I'm not talking about dudes that'll just take a quick sit to catch their breath or whatever, I'm speaking to the tea party picnic'ers and bike seat warmers that are content to take one try at something every 45 minutes and then just squat the rest of the time.

This beer isn't gonna sweat itself out of my body, and you're blocking up my cardio bro!

at marginal, we have 2 benches bolted to the main deck. about 5 feet from where everybody actually sits.... right on the ledge, with their feet right in the rollin line.

and when you point out the benches where they could sit and NOT be in the way, they act like you're the one who's being inconsiderate.

If the bottoms of my pants fold over the tongue of my shoe it really grinds my gears for some reason.

[poor alice]

people trying to talk to me when im listening to music when i skate

[clamy]

People who tag along to spots who don't even skate.

people trying to talk to me when im listening to music when i skate

then why don't you skate alone?

[raunchyrick]

I don't know if this has already been said but.. when someone lands a trick then walks up to YOU and tries to give you knucks for it. Self knucking is kooky my uncle tries to get me with it in bowling when he strikes all the time and it pisses me off.

[metamachine]

people who try and prevent me from listening to music while skating, telling me my music sucks when even though they dont know me and have no idea what i listen to. They seem so interested in me they feel rejected when they dont have my undivided attention

[chillout]

- underwear that rides up
- messing up on your go tos
- people who rag on you for not being able to do some trick thats easy to them. I can do more tricks that you cant do than vice versa, come on
- trying some trick that involses a 180 and you have a misfire and you just do the trick without the 180
- misfiring your tricks in general, you set up for nollie bs flip and do a floppy fish in midair
- rocks in shoes
- messing up your perfect grip job

we are the same person

[shrimpwhitewine]

Dunno if ABP, but when my dick falls through the opening in my boxers.

[marginal way]

i switched to boxer briefs awhile ago for that very reason.

griptape thats peeling off, or gets dirty grrrr 

[poor alice]

i dont like skating alone, but when im at the park and kids try and talk to you but its OBVIOUS you got music on etc, i just straight up ignore them, unless its my friends ofcourse, im not a bastard

[jkorzo08]

-when my setup isn't working properly, not saying i need new stuff all the time, but i need everything in perfect working order.
-when people wax the top of a metal box for lip slides. seriously? its metal it's gonna slide
-working hard to film a single trick and the filmer tries to turn it into a line after you spent an hour on the first trick with no intentions of doing anymore.
-filmers who film everything fisheye

[crackrazor]

People that don't even acknowledge you at a park. I don't need a hug and a coffee, but returning a nod should be standard.

[Facehead]

People listening to music with headphones while skating at a skatepark.

The rollerbladers who decided to wax a metal ledge at a skatepark last summer, which resulted in me getting the worst scar (on my leg) I've ever had.

add to that the folks that don't even acknowledge it when somebody lands something cool. i'm in the midwest visiting family right now, and at the local park here the other day, and it was like a church. kids even looked at me funny for giving a few claps every now and then.

Having empty cans of red bull and monster all over your diy spot. Kids suck

wasps love that shit, some kid spilt dr. pepper all over a hip and every time i skated it that day i was scared of getting stung, mustve been at least 50 wasps having a meal on that one hip

[vince the stud]

[finknoos]

Yeah, the wasps suck but the sticky ground is even worse. Nothing like skating for 10 minutes and end up having loads of dirt glued to your griptape

[apad88]

Trying a trick and someone showing you up on purpose. also when dudes bring their girlfriends to a skatepark

Me too, but she lives probably 2 or 3 minutes from there, so It would be kinda stupid from me not to call her.

[cringe.]

the bolt that will not stay on my truck, ruined my session yesterday after 20 minutes!

I really need to rethread my axle, or better yet purchase new trucks...

[chrisathans]

headphones suck
and sideways hat wearers bum me out.
i cant take anyone who wears those hats seriously. typically cause its a fox or dc hat though

i dont mind em when someones alone at the park but headphones when their STREET skating with a bunch of friends.

when my nose/tail get flimsy. i fucking hate that shit. i dont care about shape, barely care about deck size & i get used to shoes in like 10 minutes, but a flimsy board drives me nuts! thats the ONE thing im super picky about with my setup.

these lame ass neighborhood kids who "skate" this abandoned lot with a loading dock & DIY ledge by my house. these fuckers will come in big ass groups with ugly bitches and little kids on scooters. theyre loud as fuck and im sure its only a matter of time before someone in the neighborhood complains about it. they dont do shit either, they just push funny and flail their board in the air or at the obstacle and never get close to what theyre trying. fuckers even brought a shitty ass quarterpipe there! steep as fuck and you catch the bottom super easy. fuckin pisses me off whenever i just wanna be mellow and work on a few things then i go there and its like a fucking playground.

also groups of SKATERS sitting on this tall bike rail at one of the local parks. people barely skate it except me so they think its aiiight to sit there for 20 minutes. just cuz yall whack asses cant ollie that high doesnt mean you gotta ruin it for me!
