Cringiest Thing You’ve Ever Done in Skating
« on: January 11, 2023, 01:47:09 PM »
In middle school there was a solid two weeks after baker has a deathwish came out where me and my friend would ironically say “green room or die” or “for satan” before trying tricks, we acted like it was a joke but deep down we loved it.

Make lame excuses for not committing to a trick like “my set up sucks right now” etc.

I thought getting overly angry or throwing tantrums was the normal / cool thing to do like I saw my favorite pros doing (Heath, Boulala, Greco). Little did I know some of em were yeeked outta their minds anyways. Guess I saw it as some cool, macho-violent thing. Not to mention I dressed like Boulala and Greco, which could be a little embarrassing but I have minimal fashion regrets and that's not one of them.

But yeah, acting really angry and psycho when I didn't land something.
If my rep is ever an even number, please kindly throw me either a kook or a gnar in order to return me to my odd number equilibrium.

Being snotty to people who just didn’t want kids skating their property. I was convinced I got one of my favorite spots shut down and after that I decided to stop being an asshole.

I used to do beanplants to tail, and while I would sometimes do a proper quick smack on the reentry most of the time I would get back onto it carefully and sit there for a half second before dropping back in. Super lame. When I do footplants now I fully jump back in

Op, you ok man? Being real here, you doin alright?

Throwing my board and chipping the nose/tail then getting even angrier and focusing it.  Focusing boards out of frustration in general.

Dropping in my first time ever. The QP was around 10 or so foot tall. Full gear, wrist guards too. Fall flat on my chest and hands.

I wait to catch my wind, grab my board and sit in my car for a while before leaving.

Which was my biggest crime? Dropping in on something that high or the wrist guards that probably saved my wrists?

I wore those pants where you could zip off the lower half of the pants so they'd be shorts

But at least I always wore a helmet

Full on goofy boy costume and the slow terrible late shuv pressure flip board flopping on the ground tricks that went with it.  The early 90s were lamer than people think.  Thank god for A Visual Sound and Eastern Exposure.

Skated in one recently, comfy but couldn’t hold up polar 93s

I recommend any webbing belt, they’re great

Bought two pairs of Dustin Dollin's first Vans pro model shoe. A pair of the red & black ones and a pair of the brown & black ones. I had to do some digging to find a photo of them online:

They were horrible shoes. Never forgave myself for spending so much on them.

Ah yes, the Dollin-Koston 3.  Bummer to hear they were horrible.  I’ve always been intrigued by these in retrospect.  The white leather ones with light blue accents looked sick - remember them from the ad back in the day

And I used to focus boards because I felt like I wasn’t skating good, should have just chilled out and enjoyed the skating

I had these in black and gold, I was maybe 10. No regrets. Just bought some polka dot no skools on ebay. Wish I had a solid supply so I could skate em, the tongue is kinda puffy but it feels like a pappalardo, love that in a shoe.

my cringe thing was being the boneless guy when i was a teenager.

My buddy was the boneless guy, he always asked why he got hate when skating was supposed to be inclusive. This was 2007, he didn’t understand why skating was gatekept. It was cause of boneless dudes.
