USELESS WOODEN TOY BANTER / Re: Biggest Skate Reward?
« Last post by Coffee on Today at 05:43:54 AM »My 11 year old daughter filmed me board sliding a flat bar at the park last week and told me it looked sick and was genuinely hyped she got to film it.
When I was 13 one of my asshole friends went away for the summer to stay with his dad and I got kickflips on lock that summer. When he came back we were at the park and I did one off a launch ramp first try and when I skated back up to him he asked if I saw someone kickflip off the ramp. I told him it was me. His response was “damn. I thought it was someone good.” What a dick. Then I beat him in a game of skate and not long after he quit skating and hanging out with us. Might have been the best kickflip I ever did. Definitely top two or three.
Around the time I was 17 I had a friend who had been sent to military school for getting in trouble move back to our town. He was by far the best skater in our crew and still rips to this day. Our first session after he got back to town I ripped a long backside 5-0 on a curb and he told me I had the best style of all our friends. That one made me feel pretty cool.

Can’t comprehend some of these overly vocal MAGA republicans who promote skating as part of their “image”. Between Paul Hart, five-oh Skateshop and now this guy… don’t get it.

MUSIC / Re: Punk Rock
« Last post by Gray Imp Sausage Metal on Today at 05:31:10 AM »Any other Hickey fans? I feel like they epitomized the whole do-gooder dirtbag concept more than any other Bay Area band. They were absolutely unbelievable live.that split with voodoo glow skulls though! Lol
I’ve heard a lot of good things about this band, but they sound like the type of group where you really had to see them live… any good entry points in terms of albums?

Shoes & Gear / Re: Post UPCOMING/RECENT shoe releases thread
« Last post by ashleytron on Today at 04:59:46 AM »i wrote a few articles for them too, was fun.Expand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteFor nostalgia sake I checked rippedlaces.com and sure is somebody who has nothing to do with the OG.Expand QuoteExpand QuoteExpand QuoteSince he joined Cons, it looks like he's a lot more willing to skate their vulcs. He was skating his Jack Purcell colorways for a while.
I wish that Gravis shoe had come out...[close]
I was a gravis fiend but do we have a pic of this shoe that never came out? never heard about it somehow[close]
When they were around Ripped Laces had an article on one of the first shoes he was skating on Cons. Once he started getting shoes.
I think they even had photos and shared that he bought all the stock of his shoe or something.[close][close]
Before slap I used to check them and wear tested religiously.[close]
So trippy to see my old workplace here. Wrote and skated and etc for rippedlaces for a few years in their heyday. Wish it was still around![close]
❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🥲🥲🥲🥲, I asked to restart a few years back before I saw the site transfer occur. 😓 Good times, hope you both are thriving and doing well!

I am 2/3s the way through the first video and it is a wild ride.
Mental health is very serious.
Fuck me that first video is a trip. I was skipping through it, and there's no possible way to guess what he'll be talking about three minutes later. There's flying toads, his grandmother escaping Mussolini, Bible verses, MK ultra, eating ice cream, a varial heel wall ride, the Federal Reserve, marriage = disappointment.
At some point he's talking about episodes of hypomania, a never-ending chase of a next catharsis and illusions of having the sole key to truth and human salvation. I hope he finds the help and medication to restart his own diagnosis there, and take a different turn.
