ever had to keep your board somewhere esle?

[BL0B]

i was just thinking about that. when i started skating, i had a bunch of friends that had to keep boards at friends houses or hide them in their bushes, garages, backyards, ect... their parents wouldn't let them have skateboards and not like they wouldn't/couldn't pay for them, it ass woopin time if you brought one home.


probably/hopefully that doesn't happen as much now.

some times when its real cold i put my board inside instead of in my car

[Urtripping]

Never but for a while when I was first getting into it, my own house was a hair away from having a no skateboards rule. In fact, I skated a friend's extra setup for two years bc my parents refused to buy me my own.

not the same shit but it at the moment, I left it at my mom's house, there is a cool cement bit in the backyard plus it's a good reminder to visit her.

Other than that no I never had to worry about it, but I got into skating for real pretty late like when I was 18 or so

I tore my ACL at 15 in 1993 and had surgery a year later. My parents tried to ban me from skating and I wasn't supposed to have a board. My dad always said we're not paying for another $20,000 knee surgery (I was on his insurance though, and I know he paid very little out of pocket). I also got the old family Camry around this time so my board stayed in the trunk, usually under a shirt or something. I actually had more skate friends than ever at this point and my mom at one point opened my trunk and found 5 boards. I then kept my board in a friend's car after that. By the time I was a senior it didn't really matter anymore. They knew they had lost the battle.

There was this one guy who would leave his board in a garbage bag either up a tree or on the roof of a bus stop and skate before school everyday. For like four years I managed to resist the urge to steal it on the walk home.

On days when I wanted to skate after work I'd keep my board and shoes in a duffel bag and hide it in the janitors closet. Not that my boss or colleagues would mind, but I don't want to have to explain why a man in his late 30s is still skateboarding.

In my previous job a colleague saw me with the duffel bag and I said it was my squash racket and I made up some story about playing at a court near the park. Turns out he played squash too and suggested we get a game in after work some time. Good thing COVID happened and we were all stuck at home for 2 years if not I'd have to learn to play squash.

Haha sounds like something out of a Seinfeld episode if he skated

Ha, I actually played squash for a while when I had a membership to a private racquet club in Philadelphia. It’s an ill workout.

I keep a different setup and pair of shoes in the trunk of two different cars.

oh, no. the 5 boards in the trunk is hilarious. broken wrists were an instant ban from skating. i can't imagine an ACL back then.

In my town growing up skating was fine but dancing was illegal.

I’d be much more worried about extreme heat than extreme cold.

[Síota]

I broke my wrist trying to learn back side board slides when I was 12 or something and wasn't allowed to skate. Told my parents I sold it but just kept it at my bro's house.
Funny enough I never fell on it once when skating with a cast, but the day I got the cast off crashed my snowmobile and re broke it.. was baned from driving it then..

I’ve kept my board in the DJ booth.

I was once "grounded" from skating after school. The itch to skate was so bad that eventually I ditched school to skate during the day. After getting caught, board was locked up, so I had some shit setups stashed at friends houses.
