Sup slap?

Finally reached this level of my skating and was able to land a boardslide down a handrail! (skatepark stairset rail). This has been a goal of mine for so long! Get wrecked the first time, but finally got it down. Also landed Nollie BS 360 Shuvs as my newest flatground trick! Made this vid of the progression to land these tricks

I've had a better understanding of what is happening around me while smoking Salvia as a passenger in a moving vehicle than reading your post

Not much of a fan of the video, but I am a fan of you having fun and going for it. By the looks of your skill base, that's a pretty awesome day and I bet you were stoked!!!

Congrats, friendo. Echoing others to say please post clips of yourself in the post your skating thread but we all make mistakes. Lemme try and do a friendly little thread derail.
My first handrail:
Boston area skaters maybe you're familiar with the old two stair double rail inside nestled in the mini plaza on the corner of  Oliver st and High st.
Maybe one of the best days of my life was bs boardsliding and bs nosesliding it at age 15.
I wonder if any skaters have clips grinding or sliding up that thing? Any of you ever skated my dear 2 stepper?

@IusedToSkateMore I think there are two sets leading into it - one on Oliver and one on High. I think that they are both longish 6 stairs but one of them may have been an 8. I wish I could remember what videos had skate clips there. I think the handrails were kind of tallish and as skinny double rails you could really lock into slides but they were sketchy.
Wait - did he not like Bad Brains?

I'm thinking of those bigger sets and for some reason remember an 8. We lived about 45 min out of the city and would get up there as a crew sometimes. Anyways, this kid I skated with was doing back 360s down the set and 5-0's. This was a really memorable day actually because these guidos in a Mercedes started fucking with us somewhere over near Newbury, following us and yelling shit. We all get to a stop sign to cross and the guidos are trying to cut us off/hit us and the dude who destroyed that set hucks an open Red Gatorade right into the open window as they're driving away. Couldn't do anything on the one way.

I was a 15 year old with a brand new bad brains shirt, UPS dude was calling me a poser because the shirt was new and I was like "fuck you dude. starting a fight with a 15 year old? you're a real tough guy." ha ha ha I used to pull shit like the when I was a kid.

Cool it with the exclamation points there, Daniel Haney.

1. my bad, didn't realize
2. Thank you!
3. I've needed staples on my head from skating on flat without a helmet. Landed primo and hit a concrete ledge. (plus if you watch vid, I drop in on an 8ft qp for first time)
4. Probably. Idk why so many haters on slap. Chill guys, we all love skating, be cool to eachother. Is it worth the inner stress to feel like that towards everyone?

i´d ratehr hear suciu talking about finesse and lack of tastefulness than to anyone using "achivement" and "goals" in context of skateboarding.
