what're some of the pals moves to fit in at a new park/ scene? Tonight, I hit the nicotine vape pen of someone close to half my age, pretty sure it was an HQD, and found myself saying, "let's go," even though I'm in my early 30s. I asked one kid if he knew who Steamer was, he said no, and I asked a chick sk8r who was trying tre flips if she has ever seen Mark Appleyard do one in 2001.... She also said no.
Pals, if you were in your early to mid 30s and were at a new skatepark, what would you do to fit in? Are you as broken as me and need validation from children? If not, why not? If so, why haven't you healed from your trauma?
PS - you're never gonna make it
PPS - hang it up.
Looking back on it, I probably should have just left.
-
roll around the park once and then stand in the corner feeling awkward for 20 minutes psyching myself up to 5050 the small ledge
-
“Yew”
-
snap my fingers to get a fist bump
highly ashamed of this
-
Get hungry on it.
Just find an obstacle you can skate half decent and get to work. Once you knock out your warm up tricks and legs are telling you they are working today, find another thing you want to work on.
If the kids want to talk to you, let them unless you don't want to. If you're not there having fun, I would think you're a narc.

I was at the shrimp blunt premiere and someone did a trick. The teenager next to me said “xxxx did it better”. I agreed. Even tho I didn’t hear who he was talking about.
I honestly didn’t even know what the trick was.
At the skate park I don’t really care. I don’t need validation. I just skate. It’s seems like the more washed rippers have more attitude than the youngins. I was at a park with what looked like a post frozen in carbonite version of Brian Delatorre, same kit and man bun, was not saying a word just smirking at people as he rode by trying some nose blunt variation on the quarter pipe. That’s dude was lame AF. The occasional, everyone is getting g in my way look. Dude was lame. Only because of his BS Vibe not because of the 20011 kit and man bun.

i am guilty of using the terms "of", "mud", and "shalom"
-
I show up to my local with raw shrimp and a blunt, place the shrimp on it and just yell “pew pew skreeeeeeee!”
-
Leave
-
The second I open my mouth I kook it so it is imperative that I remain silent. Also
You a stupid ass bitch
-
Roll a ‘shrimp blunt’
-
Absolutely don't try to fit in at all anymore and actually try to skate when no one's around. But tactic for when I was young was just talk to people like you've already been talking to them for a couple of hours. Skip the awkward start part. Obviously this can backfire but those people are probably assholes anyway
-
I usually go directly to the ten stair rail and do a sw flip back lip down it first try. Then everyone wants to be my friend.

I recently bought a Dewalt portable boom box that's got the Bluetooth connection password protected. When I show up to a park I throw my tunes on full blast. Normally the kids stare at me for a few minutes and call me crazy. Take a few runs, sometimes they like what I'm playing, sometimes they request some of their music (Never grant the first request).
The music playing throughout the park changes the whole vibe. People start opening up more and talking, both amongst themselves and to you, for better or worse. This seems better than just plugging my headphones in and not speaking until I'm done skating.

everyone at the park probably hates you for this

I feel like the park is the place you don’t want to fit in at. Just be cool and say what’s up/acknowledge anyone else. Parks are for warming up and learning new shit. Business only.

I used to share my beer thinking it was a nice thing to do out of camraderie and if one day i needed it they would hook me up too. Was not the case they turned out to be leeches who did mind sharing.

Yeah... A guy showed up and busted out a speaker when it was just me and one other guy there.
I don't know what music they were playing, but it was like a bad 2010s folk rock band with Imagine Dragons pop-rock production. It was very annoyingly bland and boring, made worse by it being on a tinny sounding speaker too.
If you're going to play something, at least play something interesting. Not bad 2010s radio rock.
-
Introduce yourself as “Benedict Thundersnatch”, disappear for a moment only to emerge naked on your skateboard. Get in everyone’s way and say “did I do THAAAATTTT???” as a really bad Steve Urkel impression.
-
I mock terms that people use and say non PC things a lot. I do not fit in and people don't like me.

You bring a medium-sized bag of really nice pears and you share your pears. And if anyone complains the pear is a mild fruit well-suited to the coward's palette, you smash all your pears on the ground and ask them who's the coward now?! Everyone knows this.

I’m also 30 I just want to be left alone. I hate being mid trick and people start doing the yew or clapping that shit drives me insane.
Fuck ur music get some EarPods
I usually bring extra old gear cuz there’s always that rando kid with the jankiest set up. I guess this is my one way of fitting in but it’s more just guilt of having so much shit while others have nothing I don’t care if the person I give the shit to likes me. The last board I gave to this super annoying kid that always complains about being broke but when I bring him job applications to places he’s like nah man fuck that

i ask who the new hot shit skater is even though i dont care

And what’d you do when she’s better than you?

I just be myself but tone down the dad aspect. I go to the park to see tricks go down. Im totally fine with street skating alone for myself. I have homies from my last park I can hit up too.
Dad shit.
It sucks when I overhear some shit about like drugs or whatever when I’m at my new local. I just stay in my lane do some tricks and try to show that skateboarding can be forever if you really want it. There like 2 kids that are bound for bullshit tho. They seem like they trying to take everyone down with them. I just gotta see how it goes as an outsider because I would never step in that shit willing.
It’s known that I can point the was to freedom tho. Ive let everyone know about my recovery by now I think.
Once I’m like in with everyone I try to get them to switch to ventures and I talk recycled boards and USA products.
I try to get them to do their own thing but buy the right shit lol.
I see if they know about Kalis and Henry Sanchez. Sean Young. Carroll. Let them know Fred Gall correct is the answer to all questions. Malto hard flips. LLopez is top dog. Dilo. I’m definitely going to be talking shake junk. I’m switching my grip. I wish I could get that magik carpet stuff so badly.
I have people ask hey are you on slap. Yes I am uncle flea lolol. Let’s go!!!

If you are so curious about my mental health, I had ADHD as a kid, just like about 25-30% of the US male population.
I medicated for it until about age 18, then stopped as I felt it was inhibiting my creativity. Despite still struggling with a lack of focus, I still managed to complete a bachelors degree, get married, have a kid, start my own business etc. I dont feel like my ADHD is really holding me back in life.
And no, I dont think its fucked up to call dumb things regular. If you are regular and are offended by that, I ask you one single question: which word is acceptable to call people who act stupid? Because if you break it down, every single word you use to describe moronic behavior is loaded with an ableist context. There is not a single non-problematic way to call someone thick in the head.

Last time I was at the Salem skate park I just skated and the young’uns ignored me but I noticed that one of them started having serious shoelace issues when I was leaving so I returned to the park with a new set of laces I had in my bag. Hoping I got us old guys some park cred with the kids.

You’re fried dude. You’re not special(well…).
(it’s absolutely more than 25-30% most people will just never get themselves evaluated. There’s a lot of high functioning people that never realize it).
You should try meditating. Seems like you got a lot of built up stuff you might want to work out.
Show up wearing a late-90s WWF/WCW shirt. For some reason, that is the great unifier that all seem to be good with.
This one is actually weirdly good advice.

Never cared about fitting in. Randomly made toast. I’m such a freak lol

initial scan:
if locals = present, then fistbump, talk some bs
if locals ≠ present, proceed to place stuff in corner not to be fucked with
stretch/do your warm up
equal parts skating and watching
form connection with fellow skater skating _______ obstacle
skate together for 3 hours like you are best friends
never see them again until you show up to the park 4 months later at 4:45 pm on a wednesday after taking an impromptu day off, fist bump like you saw them yesterday still not knowing their name
-
try shit that's a challenge for you until you get it.
as long as you're only moderately kooky off the board, that'll usually be enough for base level acceptance.

Stop caring so much about shit that doesn’t matter. Don’t take life so serious homie.
If you are so curious about my mental health, I had ADHD as a kid, just like about 25-30% of the US male population.
I medicated for it until about age 18, then stopped as I felt it was inhibiting my creativity. Despite still struggling with a lack of focus, I still managed to complete a bachelors degree, get married, have a kid, start my own business etc. I dont feel like my ADHD is really holding me back in life.
And no, I dont think its fucked up to call dumb things regular. If you are regular and are offended by that, I ask you one single question: which word is acceptable to call people who act stupid? Because if you break it down, every single word you use to describe moronic behavior is loaded with an ableist context. There is not a single non-problematic way to call someone thick in the head.
oh deff let him do his thing. hes 12 now and better than I am.
I have a different standard of decency with my son vs in slap forum haha
That’s sick! My dad raced dirt bikes and that shit is terrifying to me but I wish I had that bond
U guys def gotta make an edit

Don’t ask someone for a lighter as soon as you walk up. Also, don’t be the old dude just smoking at the park. Also don’t walk up to the park holding your board. If you drove there I want to see you pushing from the parking lot. (Maybe I’m just projecting from a bad experience I had)
“First, you must love yourself…then the homies will fuck with you”-God
If you’re an older(20’s even if they’ve never seen you) person that shows up to the park nervous people are going to think you’re a narc. Really kills the vibe and you’ll get labeled. That shits not getting dropped.
Show up, just push around a couple times(if you got a wack push try skating tranny(is saying tranny not okay anymore? There’s gotta be a thread on it.), do your shit and don’t get in people’s way.

Keep that to yourself dawg you’re making it too easy. Only time you say free on here is in shoes/gear.
This was purely gentlemanly respect thing at this point gawd. (My bad for being a dick btw that’s just the game)
(I think I need to take a break from slap. I get weirdly more aggressive on here then on anything else even as anon)
-
If I'm there by myself, I avoid people are who slightly better than I was at my peak and people who obviously think they are "cool." Everyone else of most ages are super chill.
Also, I've learned (and known for a long time), depending on who I show up with I will make "friends" really quickly. It is amazing how many random people will start a conversation with the mediocre skater when he is there with someone who is super good. ::)

someone offered me their joint and, given that i was self-conscious about looking like a narc, i thought it might be funny to say 'nah, can't i'm on duty'.
it was a set back, lol.
are narcs a big thing at parks in the us?
at my local people smoke constantly and even deal quite openly, and i've never seen police even bother coming near the park.

Show my hiney to the locals

Show up wearing a late-90s WWF/WCW shirt. For some reason, that is the great unifier that all seem to be good with.
One of my favorite skate t-shirts is an old XL white tee from the early 2000s that just has a big headshot of a golden retriever and the Invisible Fence logo on it in blue lettering. Puts people at ease and is a great conversation starter.
I always try to show up with extra grams of weed I've picked up that I'm not a fan of and just gift them to the most appropriate person. It's Portland so there's a lot of weed to go around.
Just try to crack jokes here and there and keep it light with fun energy. No one wants a debbie downer.
That said, I still hate showing up to the park and it's packed. Mornings before 10 or 11 are the only time to go.
-
When I want to fit in at the cool park downtown I’ll throw my board, scream, spit, and drink alcohol from glass bottles. The kids love it and accept me right away.

Develop a long-lasting, tender loving relationship with the best skater at the park.
I'll forever cherish our unbreakable bond. Love you always.

past 30 when in a new spot or city the protocol is to be baseline friendly, so hellos and nods are fine. but no small talk, no introductions and shit. no one gives a shit where your old ass hailed from (yet). generally interactions should be focused on people of similar age. just be a normal person skating the park. if you become a regular you will get to know some locals fast enough.
only creeps focus on being cool with the kids, sure way to make yourself look like a weirdo. treat anyone that is ten or more years your minor with maximum contempt, as is the norm in our society. now at 36 i basically act like teenagers don't exist. when some teen skater asks me something i either act like i didn't hear it or i do the thing where i stare through them as if they weren't there and was actually slightly looking past them, but in a way that they aren't sure. it makes them uncomfortable and makes them never ask me anything ever again. it's perfect.
alternatively you could make a t-shirt that either says "hi, my name is fineslime, how are you doing friend?" or if you are like me it could say "don't talk to me motherfucker"

the first person i ever hired was Nate Broussard. he was a good worker too.
I’m intrigued… what job did he preform? Was this during adio/bueno? How are his nuts after that naked lipslide?
he mostly used a machine to fill bottles with liquid skin care products. Adio days for sure. Wayne Patrick was another employee of mine also. he worked with me the longest and also was a good worker.

I don’t want to fit in in my late phase II of skateboarding and it would be pointless to try. A lot of the stuff considered cool in skate culture (baggy pants, light blue jeans, beanies in warm weather, smoking weed randomly in public, having the stunted sociopolitical views of a gender studies major at University of Vermont, pissing off random people while they are trying to work an actual job/get some sleep between shifts, etc etc) will get you kooked everywhere else in life, I promise you.

bring a case of beer and offer out cold ones to anyone that looks of age or relatively close. never fails
but fr if ur a grown ass man its kinda sad to be seeking validation from teens/children. i mean this in the least judgmental way possible, but u should probably talk about this with a therapist if its something that keeps persisting.
plus like it was mentioned earlier, fitting in at the skatepark isnt exactly always desirable imo. a lot of fried individuals at my local parks lmao, i pretty much stick to my homies/self and thats it.
if ur lonely tho just find people who you routinely recognize (someone you see a few times a week) / skate at a similar level as you (or not) and say whats up. 8/10 times people will be down for convo as long as ur personality isnt complete shit :)

I feel like the park is the place you don’t want to fit in at. Just be cool and say what’s up/acknowledge anyone else. Parks are for warming up and learning new shit. Business only.
why would anyone whos not pro approach skating as a business
that is the most regular thing i have heard on this forum so far
Also, cut that r-word shit out. You seem to be somewhere on the perger’s spectrum.
Stop caring so much about shit that doesn’t matter. Don’t take life so serious homie.
If you are so curious about my mental health, I had ADHD as a kid, just like about 25-30% of the US male population.
I medicated for it until about age 18, then stopped as I felt it was inhibiting my creativity. Despite still struggling with a lack of focus, I still managed to complete a bachelors degree, get married, have a kid, start my own business etc. I dont feel like my ADHD is really holding me back in life.
And no, I dont think its fucked up to call dumb things regular. If you are regular and are offended by that, I ask you one single question: which word is acceptable to call people who act stupid? Because if you break it down, every single word you use to describe moronic behavior is loaded with an ableist context. There is not a single non-problematic way to call someone thick in the head.
regular isn't even a disease anymore, the meaning changed completely. The only reason people complain it's because it's trendy to complain about every halfway offensive thing to a "group" who has it "bad", group being in quotations because regular isn't a group of people anymore and bad because you obviously got your shit together despite your shortcomings. Also people who complain about being called regular are probably touchy about it due to their retardedness.
-
If you want to fit in then cut all your shirts into crop-tops, tye-dye the fuck out of them, only wear ankle socks and cargo shorts. Children love pockets and the mysteries they hold. Make sure you carry around hard candy in MOST of these pockets. The memories of grandma will come flooding in, and sentimental teardrops will begin to make the skatepark ground wet. Once the floor is nice and saturated, show the kids what a "primo-slide" is, and from that point on you're a made (wo)man.

I feel you homie.
The “r-word” thing is just a joke about a stupid comercial from years ago. I’ve used my fair share of derogatory terms and will most likely say another one at some point in the future. Words are sounds you decide what they mean.
-
This is easy. Ankle bracelet, hairy legs, and some crispy Nyjahs always command respect at the park. I learned that once here.
-
Say what's up to the locals, then stay pretty quiet and skate without getting in anyone's way. Give props if someone lands a trick they've been battling. If I see someone a few times at the park and they seem cool then maybe I'll start a conversation, but only if I have something relevant to say
-
I started sagging my pants in '93 because everyone was doing it, now I can't stop (and don't want to).

regular...
that explanation makes zero sense. it would have been enough if you just said you don't care about modern sensibilities because you love using the word. you clearly love using the word.

If I don't being a cooler to keep the beer cold is it ok to distribute Luke warm ones? Give them a good shake prior to ensure the ingredients are properly mixed.

i guess i’m obsessed with cameras and i thought it would be funny as fuck to have a flag of a vx in my room. i made it on some website but i’m the only one in my residence who thinks it’s funny. not even sure why i chose the 1000 cause i own a vx2000 instead.
i love the fact its almost a stock image you had paid for to have expanded onto a banner you could box fold / frame it around the camera imo

that explanation makes zero sense. it would have been enough if you just said you don't care about modern sensibilities because you love using the word. you clearly love using the word.
Dude, you fucking hit the nail on the head. It would have taken less effort if they were at least honest and said some shit like “sorry snowflakes, I don’t care about your feelings. Words are words and if you don’t like it, we’ll too bad.”
This thread is really bringing out the pad dads in full force. Here’s hoping they focus. Either their accounts, their boards, their livelihood, their life…. Idk I’m just spitballing here.

I feel like the park is the place you don’t want to fit in at. Just be cool and say what’s up/acknowledge anyone else. Parks are for warming up and learning new shit. Business only.
why would anyone whos not pro approach skating as a business
that is the most regular thing i have heard on this forum so far
Also, cut that r-word shit out. You seem to be somewhere on the perger’s spectrum.
Stop caring so much about shit that doesn’t matter. Don’t take life so serious homie.
If you are so curious about my mental health, I had ADHD as a kid, just like about 25-30% of the US male population.
I medicated for it until about age 18, then stopped as I felt it was inhibiting my creativity. Despite still struggling with a lack of focus, I still managed to complete a bachelors degree, get married, have a kid, start my own business etc. I dont feel like my ADHD is really holding me back in life.
And no, I dont think its fucked up to call dumb things regular. If you are regular and are offended by that, I ask you one single question: which word is acceptable to call people who act stupid? Because if you break it down, every single word you use to describe moronic behavior is loaded with an ableist context. There is not a single non-problematic way to call someone thick in the head.
The “r-word” thing is just a joke about a stupid comercial from years ago. I’ve used my fair share of derogatory terms and will most likely say another one at some point in the future. Words are sounds you decide what they mean.
get the fuck outta here you dork ass chuds. brguy what you said is 100% inaccurate. to be such a vile person - can’t even imagine it.
max id i can say this honestly - there is not a single person on slap i dislike more than you. are you 7? words are sounds? i had that opinion around that age.
focus and go start competing telegrams you fuckin losers

i've decided that means you're a fucking idiot, lol.

if you wanna fit in don't use r word
-
whenever i do a trick a look immediately if anyone has seen me land the trick and then i cheer for my self a little and want them to join. feels very good.
i want a nipple piercing

If you have a filmer look directly at him for approval the moment your wheels hit the ground landing the trick. Only break eye contact to glance at the camera lens.

I just be myself but tone down the dad aspect. I go to the park to see tricks go down. Im totally fine with street skating alone for myself. I have homies from my last park I can hit up too.
Dad shit.
It sucks when I overhear some shit about like drugs or whatever when I’m at my new local. I just stay in my lane do some tricks and try to show that skateboarding can be forever if you really want it. There like 2 kids that are bound for bullshit tho. They seem like they trying to take everyone down with them. I just gotta see how it goes as an outsider because I would never step in that shit willing.
It’s known that I can point the was to freedom tho. Ive let everyone know about my recovery by now I think.
Once I’m like in with everyone I try to get them to switch to ventures and I talk recycled boards and USA products.
I try to get them to do their own thing but buy the right shit lol.
I see if they know about Kalis and Henry Sanchez. Sean Young. Carroll. Let them know Fred Gall correct is the answer to all questions. Malto hard flips. LLopez is top dog. Dilo. I’m definitely going to be talking shake junk. I’m switching my grip. I wish I could get that magik carpet stuff so badly.
I have people ask hey are you on slap. Yes I am uncle flea lolol. Let’s go!!!

I get you into detox kid? Oh god
i really liked the rough cut of his red tiger part that came out recently
Dilo is the truth. So much style and I love manny stuff. He’s able to make the hard ones look easy af. The style is omnipresent. Sometimes people do something so easily that the style evaporates. Not Dilo. I gotta see that irl someday.
Maybe I’ll figure out how to make a dope charity event and I can invite my favorite pros to come. I would invite mad Fla Heads.
Not trying to shit on other states but Fla has been pro skateboarding’s rock last few years.
Nj always is on my radar too though. I feel like Fla has edged out NJ recently.

bring a case of beer and offer out cold ones to anyone that looks of age or relatively close. never fails
but fr if ur a grown ass man its kinda sad to be seeking validation from teens/children. i mean this in the least judgmental way possible, but u should probably talk about this with a therapist if its something that keeps persisting.
plus like it was mentioned earlier, fitting in at the skatepark isnt exactly always desirable imo. a lot of fried individuals at my local parks lmao, i pretty much stick to my homies/self and thats it.
if ur lonely tho just find people who you routinely recognize (someone you see a few times a week) / skate at a similar level as you (or not) and say whats up. 8/10 times people will be down for convo as long as ur personality isnt complete shit :)
If I don't being a cooler to keep the beer cold is it ok to distribute Luke warm ones? Give them a good shake prior to ensure the ingredients are properly mixed.

yes, its the thought that counts

If it makes zero sense it means you're regular. And yeah I like using the word, is the best word to describe stupid, ignorant people, even though in the end I use "imbecile" more often, just rolls out of the tongue.

No one really cares about it, it's just virtue signalling. A mentally deficient person would be sad on the same level if I called them "regular" or "dumb" because it isn't the old meaning of the word that hurts, it's just that they're being belittled and you could do that anyway you want. And again, "regular" isn't used to describe a medical condition anymore, most people don't even know that words like that and "moron" were once used as a way to describe "mentally under-developed".
-
It's always been a condition, and medical professionals still use the term MR as shorthand for mentally regular to describe their client's condition. There are varying degrees of MR, and if you don't think using that word hurts people, you should really ask around. My lil bro works at a house with clients how have varying levels of MR, and they overhear people insult them. You'd be fucking wrong if you think they don't understand the connotation and are hurt by strangers cruelty.
I don't want to come off preachy because I used to use that word as an insult as well. I knocked that shit off, and you can too, it ain't hard.

seeing as you’re a sufferer of the condition i’d like to say i see you and i hear you and you have my support to call your friends whatever name you see fit :)

if i have to fix more of your dumbass posts in the future i'll send you an invoice or some shit. now shut the fuck up about how edgy you are, no one gives a fuck you wannabe badass. you literally act like a child.

i've heard a major problem with the people who actually fit the definition become addicted to spanking the monkey, so much so that it can become raw and infected especially as they can also often have difficulty when it comes to consistently performing proper hygiene maneuvers.
-
I'm pretty much at the point where I actively try not to fit in. Even when other old dudes show up at my curb spot, I'm out. I got called out on this recently. "So we show up and you bounce?" Yep. Can't do it. Seen the same dudes at a few of my spots. Seem like nice people, who'd I'd likely get along with but I think skateboarding for me is mostly a solo activity at this point.
-
Man I feel the opposite. Nowadays I’m juiced to have someone else hyping me up trying stuff i wouldnt go for otherwise. A lot of years lurking cities solo finding spots and I wonder if im having more fun now than ever..
-
Pretend I care about things that I don't care about
-
to fit in I drop fire emojis on the gram.
-
Ignore the tweakers that sometimes walk through the park
-
I’m over 40. I just skate. If anyone approaches me I’ll be friendly, if someone does a trick I’m working on at that time, I might ask about how they did it but I don’t smalltalk with people way younger than me because it’s weird. I’ve been too old to care about fitting in and it’s been liberating.
-
Whenever I hit a new park I usually bring a charcuterie board for all of us to enjoy as we bond over our favorite skaters. I select only the finest organic cured meats and local unpasteurized cheeses for the spread. This usually works without fail and they will not think ur a creep
