carrying your board

[mushroom slice]

I had a job in skateboarding once
It sucked
One time I flew down to a trade show in
Orange County
John Wayne International
Jim Thiebaud  was on the same flight
When we got off the plane he
Skated through the airport
He didn’t give a shit.
My initial reaction was jealousy.
I couldn’t skate cuz I was carrying
A box of skateboards I was gonna
hang on a fake wall but
I could not skate through the airport
Cuz I had that damn box
Life is funny don’t you think?!

I hate John Wayne. My bag gets searched every time I go through there. Now I just fly into LAX at night. Driving the 405 South at 9 PM going 95 mph in an economy rental is such a rush.

Don’t even touch a skateboard if you’re not going to push uphill in the rain at all times.

[UselessAsshole]

Back in my day, we used to push uphill on a dirt hill both ways to every spot

How do you all carry your board on a bike, if you don’t have a basket or a skate holder? Shoelace tied to the trucks then across your back?

I have one of these

How many baguettes can you fit in there?

This thing works well if you’ve got a bike with a rack to mount it to. But yea, I’ve also just cruised one handed or with it sticking out of whatever backpack smacking me in the head.

My wheels fit under my handlebars and i just hold onto the wood of the board. Kinda sketchy but feels rad at the same time

[Hmmmm Nice Bike]

I just lay on my board and commute around like a turtle.

2 bungee cords vertically hold a board to a rear bike rack really well, no wiggle, no rub. Just gotta learn the way of the bungee

[clint]

Rack + bungies

Depending on how nice or not nice your city's roads are, the deck will rattle a little and rub the edges of the grip over time and distance. I got like $0.80 worth of this plasticy tube stuff from the hardware store and wrapped the outer rack tubes with it. It helps to minimize the rubbing, which isn't too big a prob in the first place.

I just slide my board between the handles of my backpack

I’d say a good five at least

[SneakySecrets]

If you don’t carry your board gently with two hands and give it a little kiss before you hop on it you are a poser.

[biaherl]

I like walking

[Yu Dum]

Idk about y’all, but my preferred method of carrying is to clench my board between my asscheeks and waddle my way home like a duck.

[Frank and Fred]

I agree with the OP. About 18 years ago, I had just got finished with a few hours long session and was feeling pretty spent so I was walking home carrying my skateboard. Then I crossed paths with Choppy Omega. He was wearing nothing but a tight pair of leather pants and had just walked from the airport (about ten miles) after flying back to PDX from Denmark. Anyway, he says to me, "Rumor has it, you actually ride that thing." He didn't know me but I got the message and its always stuck with me.

Incredible

Back when we were kids there was one kid in the neighborhood named Chip. Chip was from West Virginia, used to talk about going to stay at his dad's place in the mountains, and once jerked off at my friends house during a sleepover when he thought everyone was asleep. I digress.

Chip would carry his board like a musket, and march like a cartoon red-coat.

Once I was walking up a hill carrying my board and someone in a car yelled "Skater Not Skating!" which i thought was a pretty sick burn but I wasn't about to push up that crusty ass hill.

[Jewel Runner]

Nowadays I drive my car to the session but when I didn't have a drivers license I would carry it like so

[breezer]

I do cycle to the skate spot sometimes, but I'm too embarrassed to ride my motorbike with skateboard. what am I gonna do, sling it over my shoulder on a strap like a rifle?

[HyenaChaser]

Oooh look at me, my city has smooth streets and sidewalks, I never have to walk, lah dee dahhh

There's all this leftover coarse sand from the winter, the streets and rough, the sidewalks are cobbled, I'm old. It's a lot of effort at this point and how can the clouds hear me yell at them if I'm making a ruckus on the streets, I'm not a young Dagger anymore.

Dunno but i feel like a backpack with a board catcher is acceptable and somehow looks rad on a motorcycle.

nothing matters anymore

let me clarify, I wasn't talking about me skating everywhere ( I drive to the skatepark ) - its based on my observations of other skaters who I see in the city and they are more often than not carrying their boards, rather than riding them.
