Things You Are Stoked On But Not Stoked On

[mushroom slice]

I can’t stop watching this

[Seventyfrigginseven]

Theres a little kid next to my house that always watches me skate my 1/4 pipe. His mom mentioned last week that he wants to skate someday, so that translates to me that he needs his own setup. Stoked that he will be stoked when he gets home and sees this by his door...not stoked for me because thats my last little board.

This type of shit makes me so happy to be a skater. I got my first set up almost the same way. Well donw pal.

[Justis]

Dreams come true but feeling writers block so to speak with skating

This legit warmed my heart. You are amazing.

Memorial box. These boards especially the SM were lit. It maybe was having a ledge like 5 minutes from my house.

Some have art on the grip so I kept them.

Two are back up boards. One was defective but was replaced.

This isn't even the special box of stuff. I got way way too much shit.
It's hard to be like yo this graphic is a wall board. It's not a screen obviously.
Most of these are the same shapes. The board it has to mean something to me. Hold some weight in my mind when I hold it in my hands.

I remember all of this because I'm not on drugs and it's the shit. But I gotta pull the grip off some of these and dump them at the skate park or something.

Happy Halloween

yeah dog, I was just back at my family home and found a grip of old decks under the basement stairs. My ma asked if she could dump them and I asked to save them til I move back east and can make a chair or something out of them. The deck I remember most was a 5boro I was riding in 01 that has the twin towers cut out under the grip.

How old are you? Where'd you skate in MA? strictly Boston or did you venture out and shit?

I'm pretty old. I'm 42. I'm usually mass. North Shore mostly. Boston has been a rare treat since covid.

I got hot feet for sure. I haven't had a vacation in about 10 years.

no doubt. you've only got about a handful on me. glad you are surviving, man. most of the old skate homies have passed on.

I grew up in Bristol/Plymouth counties, skating Fall River, New Bedford, Bridgewater, Brockton, Taunton- anywhere there was a spot. We'd get out to the city when we could. Financial District and Aquarium were hella fun. Shit was a mecca.

Right on. My niece lives down that way.
Sometimes I go to the edge. I haven't been since last winter though.

I love framingham. I kinda wanna move there

[iKobrakai]

Not stoked on the death of my beautiful Alfa Romeo 156, but stoked on the letter from DMV saying they don't need more drug tests. Took me two years and a fuckton of money.

[Lifer]

My new job pays decent and offers great benefits & decent time off but i’m 3 weeks in and not liking it. I think about quitting nearly every day im there and know I’m probably not going to find something else that pays as well and offers decent benefits/time off, etc.

[TheLurper]

It has been nearly a year to the day that my life completely changed its trajectory.

I'm thrilled and I'm bummed. Life has been a lot harder and a lot easier.

@Seventyfrigginseven good work. that kid is gonna be stoked

Not really close to the same sitch but when I was a teacher I had a student that was super into skating but told me he didn't have a favorite skater. I went out and bought him a skate mag and gave it to him in hopes of him falling deeper into the rabbit hole. He was super stoked

getting medical care i avoided for years. i was at the jawdoc today for the first time. i'll probably get sort of a retainer to wear at night since i am clencher, i have "abnormally well developed jaw muscles" too, which sounds cool, but apparently is a problem. that jaw has to chill when i sleep. i gotta get my teeth done first , get the wisdom ones removed and so on, so now i gotta go to an actual dentist. and then i'll get that retainer.

and on top of that i seem to have an abscess on my tailbone. shit sucks. my doc said i actually will need to go to a surgeon for that since he can't remove it himself. it's not that bad rn actually, hoping they got time next week to fix this up.

stoked about having actual doctors that seem to give a shit about me as well as access to them, but not stoked on my anxiety attacks when i go to the doc because i always think i have superaidscancer or something. i feel it getting better the more i get used to it.

Fuck i looked up what a tail bone abscess because it sounds like what I might have. I really think I have one too. Im really fucking hoping i don’t need surgery also. It’s mostly just uncomfortable but painful to touch.

just get it checked, it's a very minor surgery, just a few cuts at most.

it's like a same day in and out thing. will probably take 10 mins or so and they will just numb my ass, then i have to figure out how to get home without feeling my ass i guess. no need to stay at a hospital.

so nothing to be too worried about.

300 bucks for one tire? Unless you have some crazy car you got ripped off

[straight]

you ever get those internal farts . like the ones that make it to your butthole but don’t actually come out but definitely still make a fart noise . my gi is fucked

[Dr-Feelgood]

its meant to be over 30 degrees all week, i love summer but fuck working outside in this heat

[Gary Gloverberg]

Colder weather is weeding out the more annoying kids at the skatepark, making weekday sessions possible. And while it’s a badge of honor to go out and get it when it’s cold and dark, obviously it’s harder.

Time to look for warehouses and parking lots

$200 for the name brand tire. $100 for the wheel alignment.

[close]

Do you drive a Tesla or a big truck? Tire shops are rough. I bought some bitchin AT tires for my rig and the tire shop was going to charge me $190/per, so I ordered them online for 130/per and paid $120 for mount/balance/disposal.

yeah tire shops are big time ripoffs u always gotta shop around. You didn’t have a spare tire? I just got a whole set of hankooks for my truck, 500 with alignment

[theSketchLord]

We went into lockdown in SA just as I paid $500 for a new bike, dude was like
"I'll take it overnight and put some thorn proof tubes on and put tougher pedals on"

That was 6 days ago and I still can't pick it up until tomorrow and had to get the stinky bus to work tonight.

Vent City just put a really good Mason Silva interview out, but in it I'm pretty sure that Ryan Lay refers to Blade Runner as a Paul Verhoeven movie

Finished The Sopranos last night. I'm going to restart it as soon as my buddy gives me my copy of season 1 back, but man... I haven't been that invested in a show in so long.

[Blueabyssofthisss]

Those moments when you’re trying a switch trick and somebody try’s to flex on you by bragging about the time they learned that trick you’re trying. Then you point out it’s switch and they instantly shut up hahaha

[lamfordie]

Been so anxious about getting finger printed cuz I was worried my new job would find something even though I have no criminal record but still anxious as hell. Got fingerprinted and I just got an email saying its all good and I can start my new job tomorrow. I feel so much better now

[EXTRA SPICY]

Myself.

Congrats on the new job! Imagine the anxiety level from a lie detector test. Would blow up the machine or pass out in the seat

Finally got my infected tooth pulled out. They took my 4 wisdom teehh to plus the infected tooth which was right next to the wisdom. Happy to finally have them out but this shit hurts. It’s 4am and I’m awake cuz the pain woke me up at 3.
The dentist gave me a paper that said I would not be getting any prescription pain pills because studies show that a combination of Tylenol and ibuprofen have been shown to work more effectively than opioids.
I did at least get some Tylenol 3 from my dad but that shit weak af.

[Dr-Feelgood]

I recently got myself out of a pretty toxic job which was heavily weighing on my mental and physical health which is good but now im unemployed and gotta start making some moves before i spend all my savings just to survive
