Was very inspired by reading all of your posts. I want to help everyone with problems on here
- I don't really have any friends outside of the people I skate with, maybe a couple people (my girlfriend hates it)
- When I don't skate cause of an injury or weather I get depressed and moody
- I fan out over Rodney Mullen and RDS
- Sometimes I wish I was a normal person that watched mtv, played football in high school and had a whole bunch of friends
- I can only do a few tricks and can't skate switch or nollie very well (I can't tre flip)
- I love manuals
- I'm stuck in the 90s
- I'm currently in a relationship that if it ends might end me
- I stole a lot from my family when I was growing up, nothing big like cars or stuff, mainly just money
- I'm a compulsive liar about the stupidest stuff
- I can't drop in, tried it once and decided it wasn't for me. That aside I do fantasize about having a nice mellow mini ramp in my backyard when I have a house
- I was obsessed with this girl in middle school and unintentionally stalked her. I would skate down her road partly cause it was her road and it was nicely paved opposed to the road I walked down, so I went down her road for two reasons. Thinking back I hope I didn't scare her.
- I can't skate parks, they intimidate me and the smoothness of the ground fucks with my concentration
- I get psyched when people land their tricks that I've seen them trying for a bit even though the trick might not be that impressive, it probably comes off as condescending but I know the feeling of never being able to land a trick (it took 3 years to learn kickflips, I skated alone at shitty spots) so when someone lands their trick I always clap or something
-I'm scared of getting in a fight but I always daydream about beating up people.
Hear ya on that one. I was in a fight within a couple months of moving to Portland and didn't quite freeze but really only defended myself from getting seriously hurt before they ran off. I think of committing violent acts though.
I'm gay. No really, I have had a partner for over 10 years.
Anybody with half a brain who has been on the boards from the early days should have been able to figure it out by the way I ridiculed people for resorting to calling people "fags" as a put-down. It should have especially been evident when I ripped into Beans for saying he didn't see a problem with killing gays.
I am out to my friends and family and they are supportive. I guess I am pretty much out completely now...
...just don't expect me to start using hair gel and dress any differently.
Good for you man! Just keep being happy and yourself and the naysayers will be even more pissed off haha
the appleyard thread made me remember this....he 'yeah'd me in the summer when I landed something and I felt good inside...
I think anyone would be psyched if Appleyard gave them a 'yeah' at a skatepark.
That's all for now, probably more to come later. Thanks for proving that we're not all assholes all the time
