Having fun on a skateboard is cool, being a skateboarder is lame as shit.

lets be real man, the only people who say this have never been a part of a solid crew before

[close]

Never been part of a solid crew but being a skateboarder rules. It feels like you know a secret nobody else knows. You are secretly better than everyone because you can do a tre frip

i can never tell if youre being serious with your posts or are satirizing meta core skateboarding ideals

David Gonzalez fucking rules and he 100% deserved SOTY that year

Ha, I agree and he posts sick clips on IG. I can’t hate him.

Being a skateboarder is the best shit ever... you get to do exercise and get out in the sun in the funnest way possible, and you can make friends with people who you otherwise would never have talked to because your lives are totally different, aside from the fact that you both obsess over a useless wooden toy.

I can't stand the type of guys who are on that 'i love skateboarding but hate skaterboarders' trip. Just comes off as the type of guy who would be bitter about being vibed.

yeh, you can just target the dude you dont like and say "i hate the guy who established & promotes others to use the pee corner"

that dude fuckin sucks, but to say being a skater is lame doesnt make any sense

That’s the beauty of talking shit anonymously on the internet for no reason.  Whatever get houses means.  I’m doing my best to infer it’s meaning from my context clues.

I can't promise you'll get housed here. We're in a bit of a housing crisis and it's getting increasingly difficult to find affordable housing. I'm very grateful to be comfortably housed here.

Let me just say this, Im from the east coast but its a widely known fact between skaters over here that if you pulled up to One Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014 and slightly slacked your jaw talking about Tim Cook… well good luck

I think it's high time all decks come with full dimensions listed.
Width, wheelbase, nose length, tail length, overall length, concave descriptor (eg-flat, mellow, steep, etc), even a descriptor of nose and tail steepness. All these measurements make a big difference whether people acknowledge it or not and it's insane that some of these attributes are practically never disclosed.

Everyone has had a deck that worked really, really well but when you buy one you think will be nearly identical it's just not the same. You can say "I like an 8.38 x 31.875" but even if you find another deck with those exact measurements, the next one might have a longer nose and shorter tail, which will totally change the physics of the "identical" deck and it won't feel remotely the same despite being "the same size".
If you don't give a shit, you don't have to look at it. They already have all that info so it'd just be a matter of taking 1 minute to type up a label.

INB4 "just measure yourself".
I'm not going to stand there at the local skate shop counter with a tape measure and angle gauge asking to see every deck.
Also, having all the measurements would make ordering decks far less of a gamble.

the cool kids bringing back the early 00 fashion are gonna do the opposite. Just board width estimated to the closest 8th of an inch listed.

I know I'm throwing stones in a glass house here, but the skaters who are that neurotic about this kinda thing are a very vast minority. If you go to a crowded skatepark I'd venture that no more than 1/4 of them even know what a "wheelbase" is.
