Bowls.  If I wanted to wait for 8 other dudes to go before getting a turn I'd play baseball.

I like sketchy weird spots and tight quarter pipes, but a red curb always gets the stoke going.

This is more about me sucking and getting old more than anything else but at this point I'm kinda over shit that is harder than it needs to be.



Rough ground, shitty run-up, bowls that make me look like I started skating a week ago, etc.

Every so often I will enjoy trying to overcome a janky quarterpipe or pushing myself on something imperfect on the street but mostly I'd rather ride something that I have to expend less effort and can do more tricks on.

I'd rather fight myself than the spot.

I'll give any spot the old college try but if you take me to a ramp I'm just gonna sit there doing no-complys and jerking off.

i'll skate damn near ANY street spot but I don't really care for parks. theyre too perfect and I hate it. ill go, but street>park.

They're too damn smooth in my opinion! I can fakie bigspin manual on this dinky little pad in downtown but I go over to Benedict plaza and I can't even half cab manual the granite Pier 7-esque pad.

I prefer finding new spots over the regular hometown spots everyone knows about. When skating a new spot i find i'm more likely to just go for a trick rather then try and figure whats been done and all that bullshit... Bowls

it's okay to hate but you need to apply all hate evenly and fairly.

The ground have to be a little rough for me to really dig the spot. Not too crusty obv, but I can't deal with super smooth ground. I feel like I don't have control when I'm skating a concrete park or something, everything just feels weird to me.

I feel you on this one.

that ^^^ perfectly sums it up for me. in addition, i'd like to add that it needs to be low impact too, but i'm down for any and all types of terrain.

its fun at night. with a group. the shitty ledge out into the bike path is the best part.

but i don't know anyone who picks that spot as a destination, you just kinda end up there.

Skateparks that were made by people that either didnt skate or didnt care. The frustration mounts and Im left standing there wondering, "what were they thinking?"

Anything that has a crack, no matter how big, even remotely close to where you have to pop.


Also flat gaps. I'm trying to have fun not get broke off.
