Yeah, I skate, I have for 10 years. But this post. this post embarrasses me and makes me want to quit.
Don't EVER EVER EVER post up your "bag o tricks" especially when half of them you admit to not be able to do... that means that they aren't in your "bag"
Son your bag should be so big that you can't even begin to name them. I'm honestly surprised you didn't ask to list the biggest stair you've ollied.
Oh and as for your decks, don't buy brand name boards they make enough money, buy a shop board from your local board shop and give back to the community you ride in. Those guys don't make enough money.
Go join the skateboard cult and don't embarrass us skateboarders again.
 
this. your 'bag o tricks' are tricks you have on lock. not tricks youve tried or have landed once. 7.9? you must have very small feet because and 'good' skater does not ride int he seven range unless your like 10 years old
 
I'm sorry? I think you can at least understand where I'm coming from. I've only skated for 2 years so as you can imagine my "bag of tricks" won't be as massive as yours for obvious reasons. The bag of tricks thing is actually fairly common on other threads, at least the ones i've seen that are dedicated to skating, so I thought it'd be a good gesture to put it up. The tricks I can't land regularly aren't tricks that I've landed once or twice by fluke, I try to practice them and improve my consistency, because I feel I haven't gotten them down. I'm not trying to be a dick or show off tricks if thats the impression your getting, it's supposed to give some insight as to how someone skates. As for the deck thing, I've bought the 3 different local brands my local shop carries, all of them were pretty weak except one brand which I just can't find anymore. I don't ride chocolate or mystery because of the pros or graphics, I realize how stupid that is, I just buy the decks that feel good under my feet, where thats zero, almost, or anything else. I'm not trying to embarrass you, however I don't think you should need to defend skateboarding on an interent forum dedicated to free skiing. It's not like my one stupid thread is going to discredit skaters like andrew reynolds or joey brezinski.
 
Sorry about the bag of tricks thing. It was a custom thing for some skater threads, I put it in here. I'm not trying to be a douche and show off tricks, the point of the list is so people can kinda see your style. As for the board size thing, that's completely personal preference. I have size 12-13 feet (depending on the shoes) and I hate skating anything past 8.2. It's all preference. Neen williams skates an 8.75 when he does sets and a 7.5 on ledges. Torey Pudwill skates a 7.5 because it suits his tech style. Leo romero skates a 7.75 to an 8 because he kills rails. Lizard King skates and 8.25-8.5 because he jumps down big stuff. Rodney Mullen skates 7.75, and invented most of the tricks we use today. If your wondering, most of this info is from those transworld buyers guides, which has pro setup stuff in it.
 
Hahahaha on what planet was that anywhere near a front 3. That wasnt even a smooth revert you landed, paused, then reverted around the second 180.
 
I used to like going for a skate at the bowl after late night study at uni. I just kinda stopped after uni for no real reason. Been about 3 years since I last set foot on a skateboard
