sitting at well over 100.000 likes with some stupid motivational shit... and it got me wondering, do you guys like when randoms do this? personally, i fucking hate it. please discuss

[cosmicgypsies]

i was given a beer for doing a kickflip a couple days ago, so it's chill

[thomas kook]

hmmm all i get is noise complaints. maybe i'm just jealous

[D.O.T. DIY]

I’ve been given a beer before by some random while skating a ledge. I wouldn’t mind it, they could’ve stood in front of the ledge and stopped the trick from happening like a lot of normals do. Better for us for them to be hyped than angry about it.

[ungzilla]

it depends on their attitude

some people are genuinely interested, i'm ok with that

then the vast majority of people are sarcastically interested... they really want to just see you eat shit. they can fuck off

[ogbawtawd]

I don't like when people tell me dumbass tips like that. But he shoulda fucked em, I love how aggressive black girls on the street are. White girls would be the superior race if they actually went after what they wanted. Vince coulda dicked em all down easy. Anyway that's my thoughts on the matter.

Tried finding that clip of Heath, paraphrasing, "Please, just go, I don't want you watching me"

When I was a kid we were skating this ditch, this family watched from a distance for awhile, left, came back with bags of gatorade and snacks. Was pretty nice of them without being all up in our shit

I'm down for people cheering and appreciating, that's cool. I just hate it when people try to give advice "try jumping a little higher" okay buddy...

This.

Got $100 because I manualed a block once.

[GAY]

When people are stoked on other people skating, it gets me stoked.

[Pigeon]

I rather have random people clapping then hear, “Yew!”

Plus, the only thing I used to hear 10-20 years ago from non-skateboarders was, “Faggot!”

This. Basically everything Snoop Dogg did during the intro of Busenitz's away days part.

I had a friend who used to respond "gimme $5 and I will" every time a person screamed "do a kickflip!"

Also, as an addition to my first claim, the worst is when you eat shit in front of a random and they respond with shit, its particularly bad when its a hill bomb slam...
"Oh my god! Are you alright?!"
"Stay right there! I'll call an ambulance!"
"Don't move!!!"
My response is always "I'm fine! Nothing hurt but my ego!" even if blood is pouring out of my head.

Did a little 180 while crossing the street, random dudes applauded and yelled "hell yeah!"
Nice little confidence boost

[Buck Russell]

one time at a local festival i pushed up this walkway and did a little wallride on this steep bank at the edge of a bridge. a cop came up to me and said "that was awesome man. don't ever do it again."

i was stoke.

When I was around 23, some teen jocks called me  a faggot then zinged a can of Budweiser at me which skipped by my foot and lay in tact in a yard. I yelled thanks and drank the beer while walking to my house

[planman]

I get shit every so often skating around campus. I fuck with it because it makes me think I'm cool (which skateboarding is not)

I had more than a few cans chucked at me by some Jason Jessee's who never started skating. Shit happens though. A friend of mine got a burrito chucked at his head once, which is impressive. Dude just went in line, bought a burrito, was starting to eat it, then saw my friend, said fuck it all and decided its best use was as a projectile, not a meal. That's dedication.

I was quite drunk at mcdonalds the other night and having a smoke before going in and I told a guy to do a kick flip and he could hardly ollie, I did a kick flip second try and he has me a smoke and a beer, the first time anyone has ever appreciated my kick flip before

[ogbawtawd]

You guys know that shit feels good when people are stoked on what your doin. Better than a cop jumping out his car, push you, then point his gun at you in the middle of the woods in Tennessee with no one around, for skating down the street transportation style. Fuck that guy.

[StabMasterArson]

street transportation style.

[fang]

I will say, I never got hated on for skating from 86 until 89. Then I was 13 and who's "cool" or not was a little more established but there was enough skaters/punks that it didn't really matter. It was dumb comments like "you gonna skate after school duuuuuuude". I will say that during the bpsw era, kids wearing those huge pants got fucked with hard. I never went that baggy so I dunno, I wore uh regular baggy jeans not waist 52. But a few of my friends got heckled by every clique in school for wearing those huge pants. Every clique. I got more hate once I was like 23+ , by 16 year old kids as they drove by.

That is dedication. I would never toss a burrito

Last month I got a trick at a spot, and after I was done a little kid came up to us and said “I wanna be just like you guys”.

[CrappyChan]

Years back I was late night bombing a hill with some friends downtown and this cop car came outta nowhere, flicked their lights on and pulled us over. We probably smelled like weed so at first I think we were nervous. The cop goes "hey we were just clocking you guys, 35! You guys are crazy" and pulls off. Peanutty experience
