Cringiest Thing You’ve Ever Done in Skating

[Easy Slider]

When puffy shoes were in we stuffed several pairs of socks under the tongue and often would lose the shoes while skating with the socks getting spread all over the place. I still can‘t comprehend how I managed to skate like that, but it worked somehow.

I used to do switch boardslide back 180 out and front board nollie 270 out on wide ledges when those types of tricks were trendy in the early 2010's. Still whip them out if no one is around to judge me. They're lower on the list of illegal tricks but still cringey nonetheless

thanks for reminding me of this crime.

i un-stitched old tongues and stuffed those in my shoes, they would fly out all the time. was the equivalent of having the sock fall out of your pant leg. i stopped doing that pretty quick.

We started out with the unstitched tongues but they were not puffy enough, hence the socks.

Perhaps calling it cringe was a bit harsh. You're right

I cut the tops of my enigmas. Then I did it again to several other shoes.

I wore a XL crimson shirt with the faces on it with red kr3w tight cords and some és. At least I wasn't one of those kr3w pacman hoodie kids

Being too into late flips for like 1 year, it's cringe but not the cringiest thing. A better thread would be 'cringe thing's you'v done[..]'

when i was really young i loved muska and would wear my shoes super loose so that if i did a trick (terrible ollie) i could run out of my shoe like he did in fulfill the dream

That's just wholesome, well maybe depending on how young you were.

beamed Bobby Worrest at Pulaski after landing a back 180 over a cone on flat and made eye contact on my first trip to DC after I spent the whole day fanboying over the fact I was watching him skate. I will never forget that.

Those are fun tricks, slappy boardslide type shit with the spin out. Prob not the most impressive

Picking out a skateboard from K-Mart, and then another from Freewheelin’ n Calgary.
Powell Swird and Skull in a Weilender-ish shape, Indy’s, orange Crossbones, orange rails rails and tail skid. AND orange grip.

 And it went downhill from there.

I won't tell you because I want to keep my anonimity but let me just say this; I ollied into a fifty-fifty grind on a curb wearing tight jeans. I will learn to slappy one day.

I didn't beat up the kids who burned down my ramp to make room for a trampoline.

It was on their property and that NEVER should have happened.

Making Ben Gore hunt for my size in like 3 or 4 different shoes at FTC. I was already acting awkward as hell because I had never met him, and every time he went into the back I was praying they'd have the 9 so I could pay and dip.

Sometimes I imagine he was just going into the back to stand there and pretend to look, just like I used to do at my old retail job when I knew we didn't have something or if I hated the customer. That makes the memory way worse lol.

From my teens to 22 years old I only wanted to date girls who were into skateboarding (although they didn't skate) and punk/metal/emo/hardcore music. I thought that if I dated a normie, we wouldn't work as a couple. I even dated a goth girl for 4 years and every time I wanted to go to skate, I had to tell her I'm going to skate. The funny thing is she was thinking all the time that I wasn't skating, but dating other girl. So she came with my every time I went to skate. It was a nightmare. Now I've been married for almost 11 years with a normie who doesn't care at all about skateboarding or my music taste. Surprisingly, she is really supportive with my hobbies and I can skate every time I have free time and she doesn't care our 5 years old son come to skate with me. Even her parents bought skate things and protective gear to our son. Normies win. My young me looking for skatepunk girlfriends was cringe.
