I can't say it's had any effect on my skating, but wherever I travel I know there's a cat or two I can go skate with.

Not so much slap as whiteley, he mentored me for a few years. Taught me to work hard, then quit when things get tougher, quit for a major corporation.then use the remaining goodwill from my previous employer to spam the new corporations propoganda.

No but I can tell you the slowest rate, Ive been here for over 6 years and dozens of accounts later never been a pal, feel like the goddamn black sheep of this place.

You think too highly of yourself. Rawbertson actually probably had the longest wait since he was continually reset for an offense.

I tried to cruise without doing the fairy foot(feet kinda close together near the middle of the board) foot position that some people on slap hate but it felt awkward so I started fairy footing again.

slap has made me more cynical and more critical of things in general. I am not complaining.

SLAP was a culprit in me nearly jumping out of the second story window. But also it has brought the lolz, and has made me fall in love with skateboarding again because people here are in it for the love of it, and not to talk about how you want to get sponsored and shit like that.

My setup is DLX all the way. I do nothing but slappys, and I will never ever do yo flips

finknoos · « **Reply #55 on:** March 06, 2012, 04:11:30 AM »

dont even know what thunder bushings feel like because of bones hardcores

have more shoes than space to store them

actually started doing yo-shoves and flips sometimes because now i see how much it annoys people, and that makes me laugh

never take anything seriously, especially skating

always do something to my grip out of the norm

always think of alternative ways to hit spots before actually hitting it normally

Slap brought the mallgrab to my conscience,
it also made me buy a Zip Zinger.

Seamus_McShamebag · « **Reply #57 on:** March 06, 2012, 07:24:35 AM »

I used to put my foot back on my board immediately after pushing. Slap inspired me not to rush it as I realized that it's an aspect of your skating that really affords you the opportunity to express yourself as an artist. Now I try to hang my foot in the air or to the side as long as possible. If I really want to burn some retinas I'll announce "Hey look everyone!" before I do it and then proceed with my push to one-footed skateboard ballet for as long as I can maintain it and keep the attention of the onlooking admirers. Occasionally I'll toss in a pelvic thrust followed by a stare-you-the-fuck-down. This is purely an act of dominance though.

Before I stumbled across SLAP I used to THINK that everyone was making fun of me when I skated. Now I KNOW everyone is making fun of me when I skate. Thanks SLAP!

Samuel Gorgompus · « **Reply #59 on:** March 06, 2012, 11:28:23 AM »

I still can't wallie and I've never owned a pair of dickies, but thanks to Slap I probably pay more attention to style than to tricks and want to puke every time I see a yo flip.
