Title: best city to skate in all year
Post by: jjevansholla on August 06, 2006, 04:24:23 PM
whats up everybody, im livin in jersey right now and havent ben skatin lately but all ive been doin is stashing money to move somewhere in about a month, all i wanna do is skate all year everyday and i just cant decide the best city to move to

ive skated philly/nyc and all around here forever and there are some great spots but its not like it used to be

i kinda wanna stay on the east coast but florida is out of the question (long story) and theres realy nowhere warm enough to skate all year comfortably

i also lived in portland, or before which is a great city but it rains all damn winter

so i dunno im thinkin san diego? arizona? sf?

anyone got any ideas?

Seriously you should head to Oz as you'll get more money for your Dollars than you will in Europe

Or what about South America, i'm sure there's a bunch of sick skate spot there that you can chill at for a year and learn some Spanish while you're at it

Or maybe look at doing a language course some where, where you can skate and chill and get some cash all at the same time

There's lots of suburbs around greater shanghai area,

I mean all around the mainland,

even across the strait to Taipei,

but singapore is just singapore,

nothing else.
Title: Re: best city to skate in all year

And Singapore is hot as hell in the daytime.  Malaysia would be pretty sick and cheaper than Singapore, but still hot in the daytime.  Also, there is monsoon season.  San Diego is pretty expensive, I mean you might as well move to Hawaii, really.  At least the parks are free and you don't have to wear a helmet and crap unless you skate Hickam.  But, I know you want to skate ledges and street, and Hawaii sucks for that.  Actually, San Diego would have you skating parks during the weekdays, then schools and other stuff on the weekend.  Shanghai is pretty dope and cost of living seemed to be really cheap from my conversations with the few chinese that could speak decent english that I ran into.  I'd say Canada since global warming is going to fuck up the climate of all the southern states soon enough making damn near impossible to skate in the summer months.  By the way, I'm living in San Diego right now.  I'm pretty sure we're paying some of the highest gas prices in the country right now.
