I have a bunch of friends that BMX, but I do hate on the street-freestylers of whatever you call that facet of biking. I really hate that these dudes chipped and chunked out ledges that have been skateable since I was a kid, and in no time these guys just jackhammered some of the best stuff in Baton Rouge. Luckily the only real biker in Hammond strictly keeps it on flat.

older guys who assume they are older than you because "when you get too my age you'll see, you won't be able to skate like that" when you know that your older than them and that you actually "don't skate like that," it's just that the guy is so out of touch and has no idea.

-other skaters who use "it might rain later" as an excuse not to go out skating; well shit then, let's get out skating and have a session before the rain comes rather than sit around because "it might rain later".

Oh holy fuck man, that's on point!
Granted, if I'm clean shaven and I've had enough coffee, I can probably pass as someone in my mid 20's, but I've gotten that same damn schpeel from dudes that I was at least 3 years older than. I almost love it as much as I hate it... I mean, I hate it when people pull excuses out of their ass to stop pushing themselves on their boards (I understand if that's just not the way they skate, but don't come up with bullshit, y'know?)...
Also, I hate getting busted by cops that are younger than me.

Actually, I think I actually like the fact that I get busted by cops that are younger than me. The more I think about it, the more I feel like a kook in a good sort of way.

My dad, kids at my school, assholes in cars that scream out of the window at you while driving by, rocks, burnt out shit, small wheels, talking about skateboarding with people who dont skate, people who "used to skate" who are only like 16, brunt ass axle nuts that won't go back on, dirty ass bearings, not wanting to skate for no good reason, the humidity, there is no where to skate, not having money to buy skate shit with,

Up until Sunday I thought losers only did this to skateboarders. But me and my friend were hungover, goofing around playing tennis. Some dude drives by the court, slows downs and is like "YEaeeaeEEEEaaaaaa TENNIS, FAGS!!!" and drives away. How awesome is that.

It really pisses me off when some of my friend and I clean up a spot or even better build something and when we finally get to skate it, someone invites a fucking kook who does nothing but complain, "you guys said you swept the ground?, this ledge isn't really that buttery! I keep sticking!"
I now alot of these dudes, even if the scenario is perfect they will blame their shit skating on something else. I personally say "Wow, I'm skating like shit today, I should probably practice more so I can win the Dew Tour and have steezy style like Jeremy Rogers!"

It's probably happened to me 100 times while doing everything from skating to riding my bike. I do not understand while assholes do that. They don't even say legible words sometimes they just go "BLEEAKKAAA!!!!!" and startle me. I feel like an ass for being startled because this is the reaction they were hoping for. stupid fucks.

cocky skaters....they should just join the basketball team or something.
kids who say they're core but buy their stuff at a chainstore, online shop, or a mall store.
BMX'ers. we do all the legwork in getting a park built, only to have these assholes destroy it, then we get blamed for it.
i'm guilty of being the it looks like its going to rain guy.
i hate riding out to some spot and it starts raining.
theres nothing i hate more than getting my board wet.
rain is like skater kryptonite.

How does being black make this behaviour better? being "hard" and mean is lame, no matter what color your skin is...

That shit is the worst. Straight up jock skating. What goes through someone's head when they do that? "Oh, I can do that trick first try. Fuck this dude, I'm so much better than him. When I land it I'm going to stare him down just so he knows who the big dog here is. That'll show him for trying a trick."

i left out one of my biggest hates
kids who do tricks right in front of/right next to you when you're sitting down.

I also hate getting my board wet but I would rather get some skating in before the rain. If it looks likely it'll rain i'll sometimes bring a garbage bag to carry my board in protected from the rain when it starts. If I have a back pack when I'm out skating there is usually a bag in there no matter what.
I can get really frustrated with scoaching. Seriously at least half the fun is figuring out how to do the trick your trying to learn not having someone give you tips without you asking. Scoaching is whack, but a little encouragement such as "this try" is ok.

you and i are a lot alike. i also carry a plastic bag if theres even a remote chance of rain.
haha, scoaching! i've probably been guilty of this without knowing it.

ill add then:
when im thinking about doing a trick, and someone tries it before i do.... so many times ive been thinking "im gonna try this next" and someone im skating with will try it. then i feel i need to wait till at least they land it or give up before i can try it... unless its a friend, then ill ask em if its cool, or tell them im gonna try it with them.

burnouts that ask to try your board. It's fine if they have some remotely interesting input, and I won't even get annoyed if they try to give me a tip, but some of them just straight up piss me off. They get mud on my grip trying to do a stationary kickflip in the grass, or ask me who the little condom man on my deck is - they only skated hook-ups "back in the day".
As previously mentioned, people that try the same trick you are. I either go on to something else, which makes me feel like I'm the skatepark bitch, or I just ignore them, which brings with it some strange vibes.
Little kids that come out of nowhere and tell me my nollie 360 doesn't count because I pivoted at the end.
Pretty much anything little kids do while skating.
Pretty much anything people my age do that don't skate, which ranges from sitting on their bikes and watching me to trying to intimidate me.
Older people who try to stop skating for the good of the community or something, not because it is directly harming them. There is this guy that rides around on a bike and kicks me and my friends out of any public place, regardless of whether or not we're skating or how much noise we're making. He's threatened to call the cops, and then when we tell him to do it, he decides to "let us off with a warning."
People who sit on the ledges at the park. I guess they just like role reversal. Skaters enjoy skating things that weren't meant to be skated, so they sit on obstacles that are supposed to be skated.

kids who only skate 4 feet of a 30 foot wide ramp

I hate when there's a lot of people around.
I also hate when I'm skating with PopwarOfGuns and he goes : "hey, no offense Christopher, but you can't do that. Thought I'd tell you now when you're still in a good mood. I mean, you can go on trying, it's cool, but I'm just saying it's not gonna work. You're pretty far from landing it actually. We can come back later and you'll totally make it then but right now I don't see how you could possibly make this within the next couple of hours. Its all good though, I'll just stand here and wait and stare in the sky or whatever, you just mind yourself, just thought I'd let you know."
I'm not sure if I made it in the end, probably not, but it was annoying. See how much you hurt me Popwar?!

I think the worst is people who see you skating and go out of their way to stop it. The ones that call the cops and then come over and tell you they are on there way. And then when you get mad they act like it is not their problem. Which it isn't but they called the cops anyway. Far too many of them in this old folks town I live in.

I feel your fucking pain dude. Moved away from my home town to some shit hole in terms of skateboarding. No one to skate with, no where to skate (that's within skating distance), just sucks here.
Friends who I used to skate with dropping off one by one, and those who are still down for a skate sesh are either working all the time, or doing shit like going to "shows"...
back on topic, this may only be something I experience, but I tend to have to get used to new decks for a day or two before I feel comfortable with them and can land stuff normally. I hate it.

injuries, especially when you are travelling to certain cities solely to skate.
the lack of etiquette at a skatepark, ie. taking three runs before another person gets one.
kids who learn early grabs and therefore think they never have to learn to ollie. early grabs in general lately
lakoston nuibuck leather shoes and a lack of decent flat, pretty much losing all will to skate street. and all of my limited tricks too.
spending an hour on a trick only to get kicked out/rained out when you are getting close.
getting hurt while not skating
eating shit doing a basic trick, also when you are sure you've got something and die unexpectedly, always the most painful for me.
losing tricks
im sure they have this shit at home, but the park im near has only one entrance and its kind of a bitch to even walk through, im assuming its to keep bikers out. its a great idea, 10 foot fences too. i think hastings is like that maybe?

The worst part about it, at least in my experience, is that they don't leave even if you ask. One of my friends pulled a juggaboo off of a 6 foot quarter straight onto her ass, and she was still there the next day.
So, as often as you can, shoot your board into their ankles. It sucks enough when it happens when you see it coming, imagine the joy it's going to cause a non-skater. Or hit that kicker at the right angle, and launch a huge "no comply" into the crowd.

ugh. thats the worst. i get it all the time, i usually just do a really lame attempt of a kickflip on flat that barely even rotates, or just straight up tell them that it's fucking annoying.

The fact that pedestrians are always compelled to sit on the skateable parts of ledges.
Elitist skateboarders from the east coast.

I don't mind when people tell me to do a kickflip, I just try to pop the highest one possible, and if I fuck up who cares what they think..
I don't like how some dudes try to look and act all thug at the park like they're Kelch at EMB. It's like they're the Anti-Slap.

what about kids who just stand with their board sitting on the coping at the park and never drop in, and dont move when youre coming... love that. only solution is a bs ollie as close to the face as possible. they stand back with a quickness after that.

there's this one park I just don't go to because of a certain "jock" skater. He'll do every trick I try regular and switch in half the tries, then asks me if I'm sponsored in a real intrusive manner (every time I go there?), I wanny lie, but I don't, and he gives me the look like "Man, what you got that I don't!?" and I then give him a brief lecture from skate politics 101 and tell him he's sick enough to get hooked up (like the skatepark king needs any more of an ego)
Shortly after I recover from the self-esteem implosion inside cry session I have with myself, I talk my friends into going to skate an actual spot, and start actually having fun for the first time that day.
.........
Skating a miniramp with one or two dudes you don't know who're both wearing headphones is pretty lame. Nothing makes me want to just go back home and eat fatty foods than skating the funnest terrain in skateboarding and having absolutely no fun.
Lurking juggalo/limp bizkit enthusiasts. The park I skate the most is in the parking lot of a highschool, it fucking sucks durring the week. Even durring the day when school's in session, there's a group of a dozen 16 year olds smoking on the deck of the miniramp, and they're all such fuckups that they're on a first-name basis with the truency officer chilling in the parking lot, and he doesn't even bother heckling them anymore, but the douchebag still comes over to ID me to make sure I'm not skipping school to skate the skatepark, I'm just like "fuck you, pig, I'm 23, I'm not in highschool". There was a period when the treuncy officers were actually kicking skateboarders out of the skatepark durring school hours, even though the park's ran by the park's department and is in no way connected to the school
But yeah, Juggalo's are the worst
I'll be skating the ramp and one will just fucking slowly walk across the flat bottom while I'm riding it, and I gotta reach deep inside and find that young Rollins that lives within all of us and just push the fucker to the ground and tell him to leave the park before I fucking ruin him

there's this dead skatepark i'm a regular at, and this family with like 4 kids that all look the same, but 3 years apart from one another have been recently showing up every day. the parents show up in lawn chairs and just watch for hours. the smallest of the kids always skates into me and constantly runs his mouth. "what kinda boahd is dat?" you ever notice how all 4 years olds have a brooklyn accent? fuckin annoying. the oldest of the kids, 13ish, always yells to his brothers, "yo imma ollie this gap" and continues to kick his board 15 feet away. and their mom, oh my god. "how did you guys get so good, do you have a coach?"
a fuckin coach?

last time i was at North Park skatepark it was a strange day. First this girl showed up with 5 children under the age of 10 who were riding bicycles, rollerskates, and skateboards. She held a chain leash with a pitbull on the end. She was actually trying to be cool about her kids running around, yelling at them to stay out of our way. But she was screaming shit like "aye you little idiot, get outta his feckin way." Then this girl started riding her apparent son's bicycle around, trying to ride up the 2 foot quarters to the low box, all the while the pit bull is chasing people around the park. Then 3 of the kids run up to the top of the 7 foot ramp and start yelling shit like "yo man you can do dat shit." flashing gang signs while their doing it. This goes on for about one hour, then they leave.
Me and my buddy left to get a few 40s and some smoke and came back. Now there were a bunch of other little kids there, this time without their mom or whoever she might have been. It's dusk at this point. This dude scoob who doesn't really skate but is a sick ass graff writer was drinking a budweiser and began encouraging the little kids to make flame throwers out of nearly empty paint cans. The little fuckers started lighting each other on fire. Then they lit the trash can on fire. That ruined the night at the skatepark. i hate that shit.

I do that. More often than not the response is "What? Yeah, whatever, you don't have to fucking ask."
I've seen a skater or two defend even the worst of the Mtv reality shows, but we all seem to fucking hate that show "Scarred," and its douchebag host.
And I fucking hate "used to skate" motherfuckers more than anything. You actually gave skateboarding a genuine try and decided to give it up? I have nothing in common with you. Nothing.
And a sidenote to you guys complaining about friends dropping off from skating: Are you guys teenagers? That happens at a certain point to everybody, like in the later high school years. Hold strong though! A lot of people fade off, and what happens next is that all the lifers that saw everybody they knew drop off meet and start skating together and it gets real.

Mullet Man-like old skateboarders,
Flatground kids, the 13 year olds with big shirts and flat-brimmed hats who skate nothing but flatground, all day. The only space in the park where they can do this is usually on the run-up or landing of something fun so they are constantly in the way. Why they come to a park to skate flat ground is beyond me.
So-cal white trash, the california version of juggalos. They love to ride their cruiser bikes around the skateparks with their clothes and hairstyle straight out of a Mest music video, obese bro-hos in tow. They are usually seen sporting a goatee and orange county tattoo. These people are why i hate southern california

hahahaha I love you both for bringing these points up because last summer that exact same thing happened and the fags in their raised Ford almost got into a head-on collision and it would've been their fault completely because they (including the driver) were yelling shit at us. Jokes on them

kids who all they skate is a skatepark. every time you go there, you see them. hit the streets, boy.

It's annoying to see little kids be able to out-trick me yet not know how to push properly. Actually, a LOT of skaters today have this problem.

AHAHAHAH wow like less than a month ago, I was skating flatground, and this dude on a long board comes cruising up next to me. I had my headphones in and didn't even notice him til he started shouting because I did a 360 flip(it was super shitty too).
He was like, "yo man whats your name? What's that move called? Are you sponsored?" I was like "uuuuuuhhhhhhhmm no?" and he was like "oh man that's tight!"
then he asked me to use my skateboard thinking it was the same thing, needless to say he couldn't do shit let alone look comfortable on the damn thing while pushing. Then he told me he was making a longboard video (don't ask me what this is, I have no idea either) and that he was "kind of a big deal" and that he took pictures for Paul Mitchell or whatever it is. He went on his way and it was all fine, I was weirded out though.

-
^^YES. Unless it's your skate friends, it's uncalled for.
Niel and I were just discussing i-used-to-skaters.
Longboarders or snowboarders who think we have some common ground cause' I skate. I try not to be that cynical about it, but it's just an awkward approach that rarely goes anywhere. Whether it's an i-use-to-skater, a longboarder or a snowboarder coming at me all I have to say is "you should just skate..." and the conversation ends.
Strange enough all the above incidents typically take place in a pub, I guess that's the only place I end up talking to people that aren't already my friends or active skateboarders.
-
yeah, but the second one should never be spoken. i usually hear it when i'm with a skate friend and a non-skater and the non-skater asks which of us is better. always an awkward situation.
-
I always just say, "he is" and start skating again. I never thought that I was better than my friends, so it's not really awkward at all.

well my friends and i all started skating roughly around the same time, so we're all about the same. so then it ends up with the two of us saying the other is better, which is pretty awkward. and if you're not skating but the person knows you two skate, the option to just start skating again isn't there. so the whole question just lingers...

to the kids who beam a lot, i purposely look away whenever they go for a trick. sooner or later they'll figure out that they should skate for themselves and not try to put on a show for others.

People who only seem to want to talk to me to say "Can I hit that?" or "Is it cool if I get a square?"
Rolling up to the park to lace some shoes up and hearing "Are those any good?" Well, asshole, I might be able to tell you if I can skate.
I think it's kinda cool to get asked if you're sponsored, it's kind of a compliment.
"Man, you got a lot better. I remember when you used to suck." That came out of this kid I used to skate with's mouth.

My buddy doesn't have a job, hangs with his gf and the same friends every day, recently got a skate tattoo.. yet I have to bug him for 2 weeks and send him a bunch of sick new parts to get him out on the board.

unless you've been consistently buying girl/chocolate, darkstars or blanks, then i don't think you can really blame your board for you snapping it ollieing off curbs. no offense, but you're probably just one of those dudes that stomp their tricks down super hard (i used to be one of them and would go through a ton of boards) or you're fat. but i'm guessing it's the former (2nd) so i'd suggest trying to be a little bit more light footed on your landings.

One time this big ass crip was coming my way but on the opposite side of the street, he eyes me for a bit and then all the sudden made a b-line towards me.

I think I prefer that to hobos and/or drunks wanting to try my board and eating shit.

^^yeah like three years ago, i was on an island in the middle of the road crossing a busy road when some thug and his thug friend cross the street towards me shouting something but i couldn't hear over the noise. i got kinda scared that they were gonna try to jack me (such a situation is not a rarity where i live) but instead the dude just wanted to prove to his friend that he could ollie. his back foot came off a good 6 inches from the board, but he did ollie, stationary on that island. i was still a little shook up after they left though, they were grown men and i was like 14 at the time. thought it was bad for me for sure.

Certain members of my family asking at family parties or gatherings "isn't it about time you stopped skating?" and "maybe you should take up golf instead."

yeah, i hate that too, but recently relatives ask me "do you still skateboard?" and then they say that they are proud that I've stuck with something for so long, im almost 25 and skating for 13 years, im sure when i was 16 they thought i was wasting my time. i think now they see that skateboarding has actually been the reason that ive traveled so much and has in a way kept me in school. like, people love basketball, but at this age they never play basketball, they just watch it on tv while drinking beer

I weigh like 170, I'd say that's about average? I do stomp my shit kinda hard sometimes, but I'm paying 60 bucks for a piece of wood I should be able to land on the tail a couple times before it starts to crack. Decks are a rip off unless you're a twig yourself.

Most memorable game of skate I had was at Ewa Beach skatepark (1999-2000) against some annoying kid who could only ollie, pop shuv, and kickflip. I forget what trick I was trying to land (I'm thinking it was a frontside nollie heel on the quarterpipe), but this kid interrupted me to play a game so I just did a basic 5 trick run that didn't incorporate any of the tricks he knew and just went back to trying whatever trick I was doing without even bothering to watch if the kid landed any of them. Needless to say that kid never asked me to play ever again.

Not being able to skate 24/7

Fighting with the above parents after you politely explain that this may not be the best place to learn skateboarding

yeah i am kind of sick of it too. i always do the same tricks, heel varial, half cab heel, fakie fs heel, half cab flip, bs bigspin, double flip, fakie double flip, fakie big heel. if they are still in the game ill usually get double heelflip on the 2nd try and then sometimes i get lucky and get fakie double heel and then if they are not out by then i will be too exhausted to win or simply will not be able to produce enough difficult tricks to get said party out.
if you ever want to beat me at skate just do switch flip, switch heel, nollie flip, nollie heel, switch 360 flip. i might get the switch heel but that is like a 1 in 100 chance.

Imaging the horror if all of things in this thread are putted in 1 movie. My god.
Games of skates are really fun to do against friends. You just try tricks that you're not very good at instead of all the basics. If you do this you learn and re-learn nice tricks everyday.
I only do this with friends, because if I now the guy you play against just tries to win, you try it too. I can be a lot of fun, but the game has its down sides, i agree.

when we play, we allow whoever's about to be out to choose whether it's them or the person who set the trick to "prove it." if the person who set the trick fucks up on it the 2nd time around, the game goes on. I think it adds to the fun, especially if you really know your friend and what he's really consistant at. You also have one in-game "chance" allowed, where you get to try something you fucked up on that you're certain you can do 2nd try. If you make it, you don't get the initial letter, and if you fuck up your chance, you still only get the one letter you were going to get anyway.
it's a very forgiving and light-hearted set of rules. we also accept almost any amount of sketchiness so long as the feet don't touch the ground completely or you turn 3/4ths the way/still land with any momentum for any rotating trick.
only down side with these rules is that sometimes the games will go on so long that it'll just desolve into a "try this trick with me!" session, which is also sort of an up-side

I forget what trick I was trying to land (I'm thinking it was a frontside nollie heel on the quarterpipe), but this kid interrupted me to play a game so I just did a basic 5 trick run that didn't incorporate any of the tricks he knew and just went back to trying whatever trick I was doing without even bothering to watch if the kid landed any of them. Needless to say that kid never asked me to play ever again.
next time just do every single shove it variation and then the kid will be even more upset that he lost without even a single flip trick being done.
haha, i usually just do a bunch of 180/360 ollie variations.
i don't really get SKATE?, we played copy cat(for a lack of a better term).
you had do as many tricks in a row as possible and the other guy had to do them right behind you. you'd continue to go(non-stop) until you bailed, then the other person would move to the front and do as many tricks in a row until he bailed and you kept it going like that until you were both tired as shit. it wasn't really about winning or anything, it was more about who could do the longest line and building your consistency. i remember watching 2 of my friends battle it out and they'd average like 14 tricks in a line! it was sick.

unless you've been consistently buying girl/chocolate, darkstars or blanks, then i don't think you can really blame your board for you snapping it ollieing off curbs. no offense, but you're probably just one of those dudes that stomp their tricks down super hard (i used to be one of them and would go through a ton of boards) or you're fat. but i'm guessing it's the former (2nd) so i'd suggest trying to be a little bit more light footed on your landings.
I weigh like 170, I'd say that's about average? I do stomp my shit kinda hard sometimes, but I'm paying 60 bucks for a piece of wood I should be able to land on the tail a couple times before it starts to crack. Decks are a rip off unless you're a twig yourself.
all good in theory, but that's just not how it is. what i'm basically saying is you're gonna have to adapt to the boards you skate rather than hope for them to adapt to how you skate. like i said, try to practice landing more light footed, your boards will last a lot longer. i used to not be able to make a board last more than a week when i stomped my tricks, now i make them last so long that i just decide to stop skating it and get a new one. and i rarely ever feel like i'm in a position where i wanna try a trick but afraid i'll snap my board because of it.
people who play down the difficulty of a trick they did to make themselves seem better, or to get compliments from the person they're talking to, or both. "yeah man, the other day i did a hardflip back tail on that ledge. i thought it was a pretty okay trick to do." i usually just respond with a "hmm" or "that's all?" or something of that nature.
people that brag about something they're gonna try before they've even tried it. "this weekend, i'm gonna nosegrind that handrail, gonna be so sick." typically, i'll assess the trick and if i think they can do it, i'll play it down like it's not even worth doing, and if i don't think they can do it, i'll hype it up to be amazing so when they bitch out and make excuses i can get a good laugh.

A game of skate isn't nearly as fun as playing add a trick with someone the same stance and close to same ability as you. Helped my skating more in the long run.

You are basically replicating each others lines except you tack on an additional trick when it's your turn (obviously only if you've successfully completed the other tricks in the line). I think it's more prevalent as a mini ramp thing, but it's fun nonetheless played at a ledge spot or manny pad. Helped make me more consistent for sure.

sounds like a good time! i'll be sure to play this with a friend next session

I hate robots. They're always all like, "That does not compute" or "Danger Will Robinson". They're so damn negative. And those are just the ones that can actually speak. Some are just all totally, "Beep boop Beep bip". What kind of shit is that?

It's the worst when they seem really nice at first and you become super good friends, then they just decide to slowly lower themselves into extremely hot liquid steel. What the fuck?

got the idea from a post in this thread's counterpart--
when you see a potential new spot being skatestopped as it's being constructed, before you've even gotten to skate it.
they knocked down this five stair at a spot where people would do lines and put in a 6 with shoulder high handrails with kinks at the ends and knobs. funny because my grandma goes to that church for bingo and she was complaining to me about how they make the rails so high and have the bumps on them, and says that all the senior citizens are complaining too.
also, my school is under construction and they put it like 6 new hubbas with like three chunks taken out of them. my friends have plans to try to fill in the chunks with wood then wax up the hubbas, but we'll wax up the hubbas regardless, just to spite the school for ruining perfectly good hubbas. and it's such an eye sore.
