The Marine Corps tested a skateboard unit in the 1990s

[Billy Bitchcakes]

was thinking wouldnt rollerblades be better but no, definintely not. i am forgetting the practicallity of being able to ditch the board at any given moment. it is actually a pretty fucking sick idea considering you are a moving target but you can basically remain still and while firing on your enemy with precision. but pretty impractical considering the amount of time it takes to get decent at skateboarding. you could have big ol soft cruiser wheels that are hella silent too and deal with bumps and shit bettter. but yeah if you are in an area with shit ground it seems pretty useuess just extra shit you gotta carry around

But what if you're goofy footed and the enemy is to your right? Do you think they'd have the oversight to train the soldiers to skate switch

This is a valid point for combat blading.

if this happened now, what companies would supply their setups?
boards - darkstar or whatever paul hart's board company is called
trucks - independent for sure
wheels - bones/ricta

the medics ride Revive boards

Is the black tape over the kingpin nuts so the "enemy" can't tell how tight he rides his trucks?

I thought that, but I imagine it’s to conceal the tightness from his superiors.

Marine corps doctrine is where ace got their motto from

loose trucks save lives

Everyone’s flowed five oh shop decks.

You had me dying  . My parents live down the road from there, Ive never seen anyone in there. No one around the area fucks with them. I thought they closed, but still going somehow, unfortunately.

Hopefully his superiors won't notice his lack of wheelbite marks or he's gonna catch hell

[Masshole]

tactical boards with bayonets and laser sights mounted on them, did they use camo grip or plain black?

[ChuckRamone]

What if they set it up so certain tricks would trigger certain weapons to fire from the skateboard? When you ollie, bullets would shoot out from the trucks and whatnot.

I might have the name wrong but that firefight game mode in the Tony Hawk games where you would kickflip to shoot a firreball in front of you and heelflip to shoot one out behind you

Cannot speak on the validity of the article, but it looks like it was sourced from here.
