My personal favourite is "can you do a grind" even though I've clearly been grinding the entire time you've been watching me. Or doing a bunch of kickflips and then being asked if I can kickflip. I think the dumbest thing I've been asked repeatedly is "eeewwww why are you wearing tramp shoes. Can't you afford shoes without holes in?!"

”Can you get laid doing that?”

”You can, but I can’t”

how do you make it stick to your feet?

getting advice can be annoying too, such as just spin the board harder to get it all the way around for a 360 flip. it makes you wonder if the person skates or is just a know-it-all.

Why do you call it street skating? Why not urban skating?

"Oh my god I love that one guy...what's his name? He just flies through the air and does twists and spins! Do you know who I'm talking about?"

"Tony Hawk?"

"THAT'S HIM! He's amazing!"

once a random pedestrian passing by saw someone do a fliptrick and was convinced we were using magnets in our shoes and looked bewildered when i explained that we weren't.

"Land it and do that thing that guy on TV with the black guy does" was another good one for me recently. I'm hoping he meant Rob n Big...

One that always stands out to me was, "is there a track around here for that ?"

My mom asks me this anytime she sees a photo or video of me skateboarding.

I had a guy ask me if i make my own wheels. I said no, I don't think anyone really makes their own wheels.
Well fuck me because this guy was baiting me. Turns out HE makes his own wheels for his longboard, HA! That sure showed me.

How about the stupidest question a skater has asked you?

I bet the Onstar employee Muska asked where the handrails were was very puzzled.

It's been almost 20 years and I still answer the phone with "Muska" at least once a month.

If anyone else told me that I would doubt them with my entire being.

Are you a "gangster sk8er" or "rocker sk8er"?

"you can do all the rails and stuff?"

yep, all of them.

Not so much of a question but more of a statement.

Long story short, recently had a guy argue with me that the shoes we carried weren’t real (in this case he was singling out the Bruin Max Vapor). When I asked what he meant by that, he said that because the sole is mostly foam that “they aren’t real shoes man, where can I get a fuckin’ real shoe with full rubber and leather”. He concluded his near ten minute argument with “bro have you ever skated in fitted boots? That’s a real shoe, those are what you should be skating in.”

this. from people who are at least remotely interested.

"don't you have a track to ride?"
from people who are not interested.

"aren't you too old for this?"
from people who don't have any clue.

The other day a drunk guy gave me shit for not being able to land a 360 on flat.

I told him they are hard. He told me that they are easy and that I was making excuses.

He then asked if he could see my board so that he would demonstrate. I obliged.

The nanosecond he put his weight on the board his feet went straight into the air and he hit the ground like a sack of potatoes. Luckily he didn’t crack his head open.

My aunty told me skate shoes were a waste of money and then asked me why I don't skate in steelcap work boots because they would last longer
