Song was embarrassing. Good kickflip though.
Now, we used to say we put on our tights to put on the world. So I don't think it tarnishes the image at all.

This is called humblebragging, where one claims footage of a textbook backside flip on a bank is "embarrassing"

I'm happy with some of the tricks in here for sure, the shame comes 100% from the song! Didn't pick it or edit this but still...

Hahah this thread brings me back. My friends wanted to make a video after I had only been skating a few months. I was always very self conscious about my skateboarding ability and took no part in it though. Probably a good call. These are probably some of the older pictures of myself skating that I have seen. Apparently I was not self conscious about those funky orange pants haha.

You guys made that park look waaaay better than it is. Psyched to see old Galloway trying his best and mccomb has been my lil homie for 25years now. He's really fuckin good at manuals. I miss all the old trips we took together.

Was that the I falls park?

Your kickflip was dope!

We'll go skate as soon as this shit weather is done

these are the first tricks I ever filmed. I was 13 or 14. so like 2003 era in my parent's driveway with a digital camera that used a floppy disk. It could hold something like 5 5-second video clips. There's a plug for my old geocities page in there that i guess i editd out before i put it on youtube.

that setup was an

Silver trucks when silver was still "new"
54mm autobahn wheels
vans ethat fowler "Nova"

Pretty sure this is the only photo of me skating. A flatground rocket kickflip at a parking garage during winter from about 20 years ago. I did not land it.  :-X

Props to my best friend for taking the photo and holding on to it. Dude sent it to me a few years ago. Had completely forgotten about it.  :)

that was rad! i remember we had one of those floppy disc cameras in one of our classrooms in 8th grade. it was cutting edge at the time.

this thread rules. (minus the dragonforce song in SOTYs video. didn't need that shit stuck in my head).

Loved that qp. My dad built it after I had been skating for a solid year or so and it lasted for years.



There's one other photo I can't seem to find of me ollieing off the miniramp at my local park, which in itself isn't a very cool photo, but somebody on MySpace stole it and posted it on their own claiming it was them which was pretty funny.
