Being a kook 101

[Ankle_Lift]

Why would drugs turn you into a kook if half the people we consider legends were addicted to at least cocaine at some point in their lives?

switch mongo pushing is legit

When I’m at the TF, I yell out every trick I’m gonna do right before I try it…

I cheer myself if I land it.

I’m going for full on kook status

I've never done a fly out benihana. I feel I am missing out on one of life's great pleasures.

For those lucky enough to have flown with eagles and done this trick, does it feel good or does it feel as stupid as it looks?

Being a kook 101:

-Mallgrab

-Shop from sports stores and skateshops at malls

-Skate once every couple of months or less (dude I'm a causal skater, no you're a fucking kook)

-Do drugs (or at least talk about your experience as a pro drug consumer, giving tips, etc..)


What are other things?
Shalom

Level 4 kook here.

I don't really care too much about how I or others hold their boards.

If I can get the same product for cheaper from my local mall rather than drive 30km out to the city to a legit skate shop, then I'll do so.

I'm much better at music than I am at skating and after having taken a bad wrist injury earlier this year I don't skate anywhere near as often as I once did unfortunately.

I do enjoy drugs, definitely not the type to base my personality around them though.

If they only skate every few months how can they be good enough to beat everyone at S.K.A.T.E.?

[pro club blanks]

Bring like 15 dudes to a spot and playing loud music for only like 3 of them to actually skate

Bringing your non skating ass friends to smoke weed at the spot when its in a school zone or otherwise requires some sort of discretion

Bringing your tagging ass friend to the spot who procedes to catch tags in the entire general area

Serious ass filming mission vibe that dominates an entire spot/park and not being respectful to the dudes just trying to skate on a day off of work

Throwing your board around/ tantrums, dog you aint AVE and this aint the DC video, settle the fuck down

[ok boomer]

Doing this at the spot

i hate that. kids who spends 5 minutes on the board then scribble the shittiest hands in 20 pointless places everywhere at the spot

[chrisskates808]

heard this come out of someone else's mouth directly, but they called learning how to skate "boot camp". heard them yell to bend their knees as if this is military training.

these people who were trying to teach are posers

[chrisskates808]

Skating once or twice a month doesn’t make you a kook, especially when life gets in the way.

i wanted to say something about that too. you cant always be skating often

people doing embarrassing waste things like drunk hollering chicks. people doing dumb things like bringing a bb gun and using a section of the park as a range. then leaving their expended now pebbles scattered about

I got called a anti cool guy from the hometown hero. Still don’t know if that was a compliment or a diss.
