*Official* Bay Area Skate Day Thread

[Shakezoola]

come on ladies.
we should do a bay area skatetrip.

BART would definitely be used.
That would be our main form of transportation.
Im down for going around the bay area searching for spots, chillin, eating, etc.

i suck at skating btw but whatever.

Anyway im free pretty much every weekend nowadays.

we could wait until spring break i guess but spring break is different for everybody i think.
mine is in 3 weeks.
well. three weeks from today i'll be on spring break.
so yeah.

I WANT TO PLAN SOMETHING DAMMIT




Yeah dudes.
i want to meet you guys.
so lets plan this.
im down to skate anywhere but this day will be epic.

this thread is for,
Planning, Discussion, Aftermath, photos of the skateday and planning for the next one.

[lilro]

Seems like you and me are the only ones down. Any weekend is good for me.

[awesomoshis]

I think I'd be down for this shit. I'm a shitty skater but fuck I don't care, meeting SBC members seems like an alright cause to take BART.

[crimescene450]

me too
im only good at skating when im on the internet
haha

but yea
meet up,
imana send a message to all the people here cuz no one regularly checks this thread

[skater/azn-chick]

Wish my ankle wasnt busted for this.

[crimescene450]

isnt the bay area kinda far away from SD area?

[skater/azn-chick]

Nah i can get places.

[crimescene450]

as soon as everyone that i msged logs on we can set it up
im guessing itd be on a saturday?

[Shakezoola]

Yeah that'd work best for me.

Any Saturday really

[crimescene450]

3rd and Army is a 2 mile skate from the 24th mission bart in SF

anyone got any other spots?
or maybe a park

[Shakezoola]

2 miles?!?!

haha nigga you crazy

[lilro]

2 miles?!?!

haha nigga you crazy

we can take a bus...i know how to get to all the major sf spots....but the east bay is where it's at...i know plenty of spots within 15 min of a bart station....what types of spots is everybody tryna skate? stairs, ledges, parks....

[crimescene450]

ok obviously you guys dont skate to your spots
i skated 10 miles once

ok lilro, get us a spot with diversity
or at least some stuff togrind on

we could also go to more than one spot

and also, how next saturday for everyone?
saturday the 2nd

[lilro]

saturday the 2nd

i've skated to spots...and the skate to 3rd & army is friggin boring...i did it twice...next saturday is good....what are you guys skating level??

[crimescene450]

ive been working on tres forever
and fakie tres,


my common tricks are like, tricks out of 50-50's, 5-0's, kickflips, 180 no complies, ollie mannys', stuff like that

-----

we dont have to go to 3rd and army,
me and my friend are gonna go eventually cuz weve never been there,
---
so far its me, myfriend, shakezoola, and you

wheres a good spot?
cuz ive only ventured around pleasonton, cv, and dublin for the most part

maybe berkely would be good?

[Shakezoola]

east bay area is good for spots.
i want to skate some tranny kinda.

idk i usually skate flatground and tranny

[crimescene450]

we could skate a street spot and then go to a skatepark
im just waiting for someone to say a spot and how to get there and im down

[God236]

Im from the bay area lol :D

[crimescene450]

you can come too
if you do you need to help me with my tres,
im still trying them

[RC]

alameda skatepark. seriously.

[awesomoshis]

Eh, I say we don't hit up a park. I think it'd be alot more fun to go on a spot journey. I know hella spots in the richmond part of SF if you guys are trying to get out there.

Fort Miley - Pyramid and funbox
Wash HS - Ledge like the size of two normal curbs stacked up, 4 stair, huge 9 stair haha. A gap over the 4 that I haven't tried
Presidio MS - buttery, high in my opinion, plastic benches and hella flatground space.

and other shit too! It's all accessible by taking the 38 Geary line to the avenues.

But I'm down for whatever as long as I can skate it.

[awesomoshis]

alameda skatepark. seriously.

I'm hella down dude for that. I haven't been there in a while.

[God236]

you can come too
if you do you need to help me with my tres,
im still trying them

Lol I cant belive I can do them now its badass

Dude everyone we should go to a hella sick highschool lol

[lilro]

Alright may 2nd it is...i say we start in berkeley, then hit alameda park....then sf if time permits

there's a school with a phat ass 7 block in albany....if anyone wants to try...the way its set up you can do 6 block, 5 block, 4 block, etc.


i only know how to get to alameda park by car though...and i dont have one...so.....

[crimescene450]

ok so may 2nd
we all meet at berklely bart?
and well kinda decide from there
bring money, and wax

is that alright?

what time should we all be there by?

[lilro]

ok so may 2nd
we all meet at berklely bart?
and well kinda decide from there
bring money, and wax

is that alright?

what time should we all be there by?

sometime between 10-11 should be good...Downtown Berkeley Bart not North Berkeley or Ashby...

In berkeley there's a shitload of skaters so we need something to recognize each other by....i'll prolly be wearing some black manchesters

[God236]

If I come I have black nike sb blazers lol

[crimescene450]

ok ,
may 2nd
downtown berkely bart
be there by 11am
tape a sign on your chest that says sbc or something
hahah, and just take it off once we all leave

were gonna skate around berkely, then we will decid from there where we want to go

[awesomoshis]

anyone trying to bring a camera? i think it'd be kinda sick to make a montage of this seeing as it'll probably either not happen again or wont for awhile.

[Shakezoola]

May Second?
Alright sounds good fellas

[crimescene450]

if may 2nd is cool and works out
we should all go to SF for go skate day together or something

[noobskater4]

[Harell]

[noobskater4]

[crimescene450]

Maaan, I really wanna go.

[crimescene450]

30% chance of rain saturday

we will decide on thursday or friday and see if maybe the forecast changes..
otherwise maybe sunday is a backup day?

----------------------------
its down to 20% chance of rain
hopfully itll keep lowering

[crimescene450]

80% chance of rain in berkeley, SF and in CV, on saturday...
that pretty much covers the entire area of our travel



should we cancel?

[lilro]

80% chance of rain in berkeley, SF and in CV, on saturday...

[Shakezoola]

[crimescene450]

I'm down Tuesdays, Fridays, and any weekend except this one.

[drowning_fish]

I'ma uhh in Palo Alto...

I can get to Fremont hella easily though.

[crimescene450]

I'ma uhh in Palo Alto...

I can get to Fremont hella easily though.


bart runs down to fremont, so you can go if you get up on time
haha

[drowning_fish]

Yeah I know, that's why I mentioned it. It takes like an hour to get to the Macarthur station in Oakland from Fremont. I'd prolly spend the night in Fremont and stay up the night and so we could get there pretty early. I might bring my friend. And I'll def bring a camera.

I'm leaving for college on the 20th.

[lilro]

22nd is good with me....

no face shots, but i will be wearing the shoe on the left most likely
http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e132/boondocksboy101/IMG00011-20090726-2359.jpg

[crimescene450]

ok
the 22nd of august
meet at DOWNTOWN berkely
were meeting from 10-11 AM before we leave to skate other places
just hang outside of bart and if you see other skaters, ask if theyre part of sbc
just make yourself noticable in some way to the other members

this is final
everyone ok with the plan?

[Shakezoola]

alright

[SKOSKY]

berkeley? aww fuck

[crimescene450]

berkeley? aww fuck


haha whats wrong with that?
bart goes through SF

we might go to SF too but were gonna figure that out on spot

[Shakezoola]

I havent skated sf in a while.

Is pier seven skateable?

Security-wise

[drowning_fish]

I leave for college on the 20th.. Damn

[crimescene450]

I havent skated sf in a while.

Is pier seven skateable?

Security-wise

i have no clue which one that is

but that one famous pier, with the 2 or 3 stair and the manny pads has been disabled =(

big ass skate stops

[Shakezoola]

Shit!
thats the place i was talking about..

[crimescene450]

yeah its fucked >=(

[Purple Skater]

http://www.skateboard-city.com/messageboard/showthread.php?t=206602

[crimescene450]

shit
theres gonna be a BART strike
i hope it doesnt last till saturday,
cuz that would mean bart is out of commission

[Shakezoola]

yeah i heard about that.
anyway guys,

im asian. haha and im gonna probably have some black es square ones on and riding a blue supreme board

everyone attending post descriptions or pictures

[crimescene450]

yeah i doubt the bart strikes gonna last long

so many people rely on bart so theres alot of pressure to fix it
and theres alot of people desperate for a job right now, and plenty of people will work for less

anyhow
im a white guy
haha

[God236]

i migth go lol, i will hopefully have my herman 2's um i have a oarnge antihero board
