Any time I watch skate videos in my living room my one roommate who doesn’t skate always asks why I “Dont do what they do”. Especially when I watched the GX video. I know its mostly sarcastic on his side but he thinks that its gunna make me self conscious or something. I finally told him that I dont get paid to skateboard and that I dont want to die.

Yeah.  That can be a weird one.  My wife will occasionally watch a video with me while she's on her laptop.  She likes a lot of the music.  This led her to believe that's how people skate.  That they make insanely difficult tricks first try every time. 

We went to our local park on a weekday lunch date a bit back.  No one was there.  She brought her rollerblades.  She does the rollerblade thing for fun and fitness, not the extreme type shit.  She was amazed I wasn't landing every trick first try or as good as the guys in videos.

It's the porno effect.

Huh, we do try turning tricks..

When I first got into skating, my friend who skated when he was younger insisted on giving me some "help". We had this conversation.

"So what tricks can you do?"
"Uhh...I can 180."
"Cool, show me."
does a kickturn

Not a question, but still made me want to throw myself off a cliff.

Also:

"Ohh, are you like Roy Purdy?"

"how does it stay with you"
"arent there parks for this"
"where do you get your abecs" and "whos got the best abecs"
"do a superdude"
"do you play skate 3"

was skating a carpark recently bunch of us and some random like 14 year old girls came up and asked us for a go of our boards and obviously everyone said no and apparently thats us being "spiteful" bitch keep your wet soggy fucking airmax away from my grip, and also "what do you get out of being in a carpark doing this" - girls walking around in the rain all night

Ate shit skating like 10 days ago, smashed my face into the ground and broke two of my front teeth in half above the nerves and split my lip. Was in a lot of pain, and of course it was a sunday so my regular dentist wasn't open, so I had to go to an emergency dentist that was open.
The dentist was a woman and she was super nice, but they didn't accept the insurance I have so they weren't able to operate or whatever. She basically bonded my teeth with some temporary stuff, prescribed me some pain meds, and numbed my mouth until the next day when I could go in to my other dentist.
She did tell me I was going to end up having to get implants, or possibly root canals and crowns, but either way said "you'll definitely have to wear a mouth guard when you skate from now on though, as either implants or crowns can break out again really easily." Then she asked me, "do you think you could attach it to your helmet when youre not skating?"

"Who's the best skateboarder???"

I hate this question.

[Molte]

"Oh so you skateboard. Are you good?"

[tortfeasor]

 asked us for a go of our boards

I've never understood this.  i cant imagine going up to people playing hockey and asking to use their stick for a few or walking up to someone listening to music and asking if i try their headphones.

"Hey artist dude- mind if i give your brushes and canvas a shot? I used to love fingerprinting when i was a kid"

I like when my boss asks me what the point of watching a skate video is

[Pigeon]

“Have you ever lost control of your board during a kickflip and gotten the tip of your dick sliced off?”

[TD]

On a similar note, "aren't you to old for that now?" NO I'M FUCKEN NOT! FUCK OFF GRANDMA!

I kinda miss the days when people said this. Doesn't seem to happen now as skating's become more mainstream

i felt so crazy in "roll up" when that kid asks if they're filming for thrasher

[ZEBRA]

Sorry if it’s already been said, but...

“What’s your best trick?”

Like if I told you, and then I did one for you, you wouldn’t know whether I did a Hardflip, or a Shuv It

[somethingmustbreaknow]

"how do you stop?"
