Hello. I got into skating about 2 months ago. Unfortunately, all I
had was a piece of junk Wal-Mart board. Since I didnt know about
your website, and I wanted to ride a good skateboard, I invited my
friend Jonathan(who rides a Blind) over to my house to skate and
try to use my kicker ramp. Now theres this kid in my neighborhood
named Garet. He REALLY sucks at skateboarding. Whenever he stepped
on my old skateboard, which had rusted bearings, he would do a
split trying to push off!(He's a major dweeb) Anyway,when Jonathan
came over, he let me try out his board. I rode around, popping
ollies and stuff, and then handed him his board. Then Garet came
over. Not knowing how bad Garet was, he let him ride his Blind.
Within minutes of him doing splits, he ripped off half of Jonathans
griptape sticker. After seeing that Garet was a major dork,
Jonathan told me if we could ditch him. I said okay, and then
Jonathan told Garet, "Uhh, I gotta go take my nap.":) Being an
idiot, Garet believed him, and we pretended to go inside. When we
got in, we both burst out laughing."What an idiot," Jonathan said.
"Beliving that a teenager has to take naps." After eating, we went
back outside. About half an hour later, Garet came back. He asked
why we werent inside. Jonathan said, "I wasn't sleepy." |
| Umm I take naps... What's wrong with that? Why does everyone refer to wall mart when speaking about crappy boards? Your story sucks. Wow you ditched a guy. Good Job. Isn't Jonathan a Hard core eh? He rides a Blind. Oh Everyone bow down to oh might lord Jonathan who rides a blind. |

this story is really cool yet hard to believe but its true. my friend tom and
i started skating when we were about 6 doing nothing but going down hills on
our cheap one tail toys r us boards. through te years we started to watch
rodney mullen videos when we were about 12 we put our allowences together to
buy a video. then we saw the most incredible thing . mullen did a handstand
to primo to 360 flip to casper to 360 flip to primo to like double primo
flip.we were so amazed.from there on i decided that i would devote my life
and body to do the exact same thing. for 3 years would press pause to see how
he did it and get trick tips. then 2 years later i started to do handstand to
primo to 360 flip to casper. then finnaly i did the whole 9 yards exactly
just like mullen. thats wat 5 years of dedication will get you. parctice
practice practice

The Smell of Bacon
Aloft I fly t'wards virgin bench
Switch crooks in mind, success a cinch
Tap my tail, aim my truck
But something blocks me
What the f-ck?
As I look up all bruised and battered
I see a donut, chocolate slathered
'Tween pudgy fingers, or rather hoof
Of a pig, a cop, a wack-ass doof
"No skatin', son!" the asshole barks
"No boards allowed in streets or parks"
"Whatever, dude" I answer back
Reach in my JNCO's, grab my gat
"No! Please! Help!" the piggy whines
I cock the hammer, fash some signs
Buck, Buck, Buck,
I give it to him
Nothin' left but the smell of bacon

Last Wednesday me and my skate crew went and sessioned this seven set down
in the town. We got the bus in and brough our bags, we thought we'd be
staying long. Finally after 45 minutes of skate talk we arrived at the bus
stop. We all jumped off and bombed it off down the middle of the road to the
stairs. No warm up. First off I tried a ollie down the whole set, one or two
pushes, a pop, a brief floating sensation, then WHAM onto the concrete.
Yeah! everyone was cheering and slapping there boards on the floor. Second
time round i ventured for a F/S 180. One two pushes, a pop, twisting my body
round, floating, WHAM! my board flips out from under me and my small frame
hits the cold concrete with a snap. I felt my back click under the pressure
and saw my new Flip Rowley board spin into the road. Back to reality. |
| You got a long E-mail address... OH yeah umm WHAM isn't the best word for stomping a landing something like Bam is better. WHAM sounds like you bailed. |

Bentley, AB is a small town with about two skate spots
and 15 skaters. It is pretty much a jock and roper town so skaters aren't liked very much. One day we were skating on main street when some old guy that looked about sixty came up to us and started yelling at us. We just didn't really listen to him because we really didn't care. one of my friends asked what his problem was, and then he freked out. somehow this old guy got my friend's skateboard and hit him with it. then he started freaking out some more. One of my friends went to the bar on the corner where my friend that got hit's stepdad and mom were. the old guy got in his truck and left before they came out. My friend or his parents decided not to press any charges. Now every time we see him on the street we say loudly to eachother, "Better not skateboard or some old guy will com and hit you."
Yes this town is that small.

| Yeah man, Ill be sure to watch out for those old guys. Those canes can hurt... |

Ever since i have took up skateboarding theres
this old woman who keeps staring at me and
telling me to go away i told her nobody else has
a problem with me skateboarding and she said i
dont care go away!
So i came in side my house and i told my brother
who is 21 and he made up a plan so the next day
we annoyed her by doing tricks and shouting.
And since that day she has never said anything
to me and when she sees me skatin she just
stairs for a second and sits down!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, me and my friends were skating at a hospital one day. Matt was
landing kickflips and 360 Ollies. I wanted to give the 360 Ollie a try.
Well, I tried, but I didn't have enough air. So then I noticed that the
roof of the hospital slanted down, so that it you could ride down it, and
ramp of (the roof was only about 3 feet off the ground). So I get on the
roof and walk up near the top. I ride down and just as I get to the bottom,
I fly off over my friends heads and (luckily) land face forward onto some
grass. I was hurt pretty bad. But then I heard something. A "Siren". We all
yelled and ran, but I couldn't keep up very good. I hate it when people
call the cops just when you're having fun. Well, I heard it coming so I
skated down this hill, and I saw a Garbage Dumpster thing, so I jumped
behind it. The cop drove right past without seeing me. After about 10
minutes when I knew he wouldn't come back, I headed back to my house. On my
way home, I met my friends (who I thought had been caught). They were
amazed to see me, 'cuase they thought I had been caught too. That was one
of the scariest things. I hate "The Law".

| Oh yeah, I know Matt. Three foot High roofs... |

One fine skating day, I borrowed a little kids K-Mart sk8board to join my
friends at the church to skate. I was practicing my ollies and I got decent
at it. Ive been practicing it for a while now. Now I moved on to practicing
switch ollies which ive been practicing for a while. I got decent at it but
not really good at it. Anyways, I was a dumbass and hot-headed so I bragged,
"I bet u all that I can switch ollie down that 7-set of stairs!" Of course,
my friends wanted to be entertained. Fortunately there was no betting! Man,
I regret doing something outside my level of ability... I started riding
gaining speed, I moved into switch position and prepared myself. As soon as
I got to the edge, I ollied. Guess i popped the board up too far cuz it
smacked me in my teeth. They chipped... I somehow managed to get the board
under me. Mind u, I was still in the air. I landed, but in a strange fashion
causing me to fall. I landed on my left arm on the first step of my err..
target. I felt my arm break and I could feel the chipped teeth in my
mouth... HOLY SHIT!!! I believe were my exact words. My friends were in awe,
excitement, disgusted, etc. I could hear em cussin'. LoL.I layed on the
ground like the dead squirrel we saw earlier, bleedin'..
Man oh Man that hurt... I was sent to the hospital where I spent a week in
and went to the dentist later on. I finally came home... U know what the 1st
thing i got on was? that K-Mart sk8board I borrowed and never gave back (I
did give it back, honest). I went and got my friends and skated with one arm
(the doctor said i shouldnt sk8 for a week or two, BullShit). I got
scratched up cuz I couldnt do much with one arm. Then again, i couldnt do
much before... Guess the doctor was right. |
| Yeah, well atleast you learned your lesson. |

One day, me and some friends set up a ramp in front of a stop sign post that we set up on a tire. We were grinding it fine doing easy stuff, 50-50's, etc. So I went up again (it was probably 80 degrees or something and we've been skating for a couple of hours) and went off the ramp onto the rail (it was raised about 6 or 7 inches from the ground) and did a 50-50, somehow it wobbled and slid out from under me to the left and i fell on my wrist to the right and sprained it. I went to the doctors to get x-rayed after 4 days of ace bandage, pain, and not being able to skate. I got back though, and I'm somewhat better because of my wrist (actually its a little deformed from the fall, there's a small lump right on it and the pain comes back occasionally).

| Skating brings pain, lots of it. I keep land on my wrist. I always skate and so it never has time to heal. Right now both of my wrists are messed. I bruised my right one by sticking my hand out to protect from a sack from skating. The other I just keep falling on. |

| We were skatin in town one day at the local spot, which happens to be a huge curb that divides two roads. We wait for a free spot when the cars stop coming, then skate it. Well, sometimes you just can't see the cars coming. Even if you don't see them, they'll slow down and let you cross before speeding off. One guy thought that he would be cool by trying to speed up and hit us. I got out of the way quick enough, but the guy blew his horn, stuck his head out the window and yelled somethin at us. What would the natural reaction be? To flip him off, of course. Well, that's exactly what we did, thinking, "whats he gonna do?" But I saw his brake lights come on and he stopped right there. As soon as those lights went on, I think that was the biggest adrynaline rush I've ever gotten in my life. Before he had time to confront us, we grabbed our boards and booked to the Chinese food store, where the people there had seen the whole thing and let us hide behind the counter. That was the coolest skate experience I think I've ever had anyways... that guy was a faget. |
| I thought you said "whats he gonna do?" why'd you run if you weren't afraid? Good Story though |

| Yesterday me and my friend Zeke were skating across the street in the parking lot, we were grinding the curbs. Well anyways we were waxing the curbs and all of a sudden a cop comes by the I said "sh**" and Zeke told me to run so I grabbed my wax and we ran behind a long strip of bushes. We walked silently along the bushes, which there was birds and bats flying out of them. We were hearing cop sirens going off right and left. When we got up to the end of the bushes we ran as fast as we could to my house (which wasnt that far) then when we got there and we were all out of breath. We went up to my room and i must have said "holy sh** that was close" like 50 times. I was shaking really bad. Well, that just proves how people are such dickheads for calling the cops on you for having fun (skating). I dont think its the cops fault for doing this it was just the other person that called them. |
| No action... I could write something like that: I was skating with my friend Bob. A cop came. He yelled. We ran. I was scared. The End. |

| Title: First Ollie |
I had read the trick tips sections over and over. Now it was going to happen. I slowly started rolling
forward and crouched down. I hope this works, I tell myself, because I had spent a lot of time working on
this and I had that feeling that today everything would just click. That's when I jumped and slapped
the tail into the ground, dragging my foot the length of the board. It felt wierd to actually get the board
off the ground, but at the same time it felt very exciting, like the world was my freakin oyster. I
landed, rolled away, then stopped, realizing that I had just done my very first ollie.

ok..here we go....it was a quite sunny day so we decided to go skating. We went down to the university like we usually do cos its really good to skate at...theres rails, walls,boxs..everything. We were all doing canny shit on
our boards and having quite a bad day. And just when we thought things couldnt get ne worse the police came round the corner (we usually get away really easy but the other entrances at been blocked off to do building
repairs on them or summut like that ne way)So the police camme up to us all and told us we wernt ment to be there and blaming us for all the damage (even stuff we didnt do) and then just about to arrest us all (there was 5 of us and they were in a riot van) and one of the police officers wed "gimme a go of ur board mate" so my friend give it to him and he then sed..i used to sk8 u no...and then strting pulling off kickflips perfectly and 180 off ledges and stuff. and to finsh it off he arranged a trip to a sk8park for free for us....cos that what the police do now round Sunderland (were i live) giv eu free trips to places to keep u out of truoble) in the end gladuly he let us all go not take our names or nething or arrest us...but give us a warning not to hang around there.
This is a true story mind

Last Tuesday I went 2 a skate park in Kansas. There was this other dude there. I saw him grinding about a
7ft. long rail. there was some ramps and i was launching off of them. My friend said i was wasting
time, and said with sarcasm what other things have you done other than trying boardslides? I said i had did
180's off the ramp. My friend said it was easy so i let him use my board,and he could not do the trick,
then he came up with an excuse of saying he did not like my board so I asked the guy that was there first
if my friend could use his zero board. So the guy let him see it and my friend couldn't even pull half of
the 180. Then the teenager guy tried the 180 and landed on his ankle. He ended up going home. I landed
my first boardslide that day. |
