every shesh when i get hyper focused on a trick, get angry when i cant land it and proceed to skate 100mph at everything trying to get my hit of dopamine

haha just did this last week trying to battle a crook down a hubba - couldn't lock for shit, got pissed, skated Mach 5 at a QP and tried to do a fly out to the moon. Calmed down after I almost landed on my neck lol

[DirtyCheddarKids]

Anything considered cringe, I’m probably guilty of it at one point or another. A very particular day stands out to me where I couldn’t land whatever maybe a Lipslide on a park rail or something and I had a full mental breakdown and started beating the rail with my board until my horrible neon green trucks were so bent that I had to get new ones. Fortunately enough that was 15 years ago and I neither have coloured trucks anymore nor do I l get upset from not landing tricks, but being honest about myself, I was definitely Kerry Getz hockey tempered for a while.

I was the boneless kid and did a bunch of street grabs, but my worst offense was doing grosman grabs down gaps.

Dookie braids had to be the worst hair decision I've ever made. Not because of Mike Carroll, but for some reason, seeing Adam McNatt with them misdirected me toward some hope that I might not look like a complete fucking idiot. I went to a private school and didn't even make it through first period before being sent home to take them out. Super grateful to the sisters for that. This was around the time I was doing equally stupid shit like pressure flip lipslides. Just heinous all around.

I brought tuna sandwiches to the sesh and they sat in the sun a little too long.  Ate one during a break and like half an hour later I threw up on a ledge and then pushed to the public bathroom with my hands pushing my ass cheeks together and had an immediate and explosive shit in a stall with no door and no way to wash my hands. Amazing day

The red iron cross one? I had that. It looked super tough with my Smiths gloves.

I coveted this very pairing.

[Ricky Vaughn]

I’ve had people greet me by my username in person. 😂

[Blind Fisherman]

Being a Bam kid, obsessing over everything Element the first two years of skating, thinking the shoes are what made you do the tricks resulting in begging my mom on a regular basis for new shoes when the ones I already had were perfectly fine.
Trying to shred my laces to make it look like I could kickflip before I could even ollie properly.
Had a Dylan phase (makes me feel even more cringe now because my name is Dylan, too).
Skating with a scowl on my face resulting in people telling me that they thought I would be mean or scary before getting to know me.
Drinking way too much for two years straight and losing all of my ability to skate.

I used to have santa cruz stickers on a  powell deck

You don't want Bobby De Keyzer staring straight into your soul anyway. You turn to stone and then he fakie manuals across your torso.

Not skating when Cardiel came up to me and asked why I wasn’t skating at this ledge spot, c.2003. He was like “come on” and I was like “I suck.”

Thank you, thank you, you’re far too kind.

I think my friend has a film of me doing the 1st try finger thing from Jamie Thomas's dying to live part when doing a Frontside Ollie down a 5 stair

I really had no excuse, I was like 13 at the time and could have at least 5050 and nose slid the ledge. My friend was skating with them, but I didn’t feel “good enough” at the time. It could have been a cool story too haha

[Terminal]

Pretty much every time I step on my board it's cringe..

Pressure flips. Had to tighten my truck and tried them for 3 days before I could do them. In my defense, it was to shut a guy I skated with up though. Loosened my rear truck back up and never did them after 5 in a row to prove I could do them.   

Mike if you’re reading this, Dressen had better style than Carrol.
*Edit
Street plants. That was just a poor choice and I’ll own up to it. It was the mid 80s and I was a kid but I still should’ve known better.

Fell asleep at the spot really wasted, more than once. Lost multiple setups too.
