STUFF SKATE PEOPLE DONT LIKE

spitting on the concrete at a skatepark is grounds for a beatdown dismissive glare

Yeah, fuckers will sit on a ledge and just spit a huge pile of spit right on the ground in front of them right on a runway to a ledge or what not then you step in it and it gets on your griptape.  Then you're bummed.

If I see someone doing that I always confront them about it.

At the park i skate the most, the back of the miniramp is where you stand if you're playing skate, avoiding repressive sunlight, or just hanging out, and motherfuckers sessioning the miniramp just absent mindedly spit all over the back wall that so many people lean against, I've even seen people just spit before looking and hock a goober directly onto people hanging out.

say word!  i don' t know anyone that likes funk on their grip.  if you're going to spit why not find a spot that no one can fall onto, step into, or roll over?  its just common sense.

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.

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.

[close]

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.
