Idk why nobody in this thread has meantioned A Happy Medium/A Happy Medium 2. Hands down the greatest skate video you'll ever see, visually and sonically.

I just recently got back into skating after a year or two break.
Never really did get too good, but it's fun as fuck.

This is from today.

anyone got tips on how to learn stuff switch?

i learned how to ollie the opposite way that I push (learned em stationary the wrong way many years ago) and it's really annoying haha


I had the same problem, best advice I could give is just learn to push the other way as opposed to trying to ollie with the opposite foot, you'll get comfortable pushing switch WAY sooner than learning how to effectively ollie switch

All I do is smoke weed, drop acid, and listen to MF DOOM http://www.facebook.com/SpacemanNYC http://theinnercitykids.tumblr.com/

just get a half decent set up and start rolling around the streets/parks, your other sports will soon become obsolete as the skating bug takes over, enjoy

Cruisers are great to just fuck around on. I'm planning on putting together a Krooked Zip-Zinger soon. Those Vinyl cruisers are way too small for me. I still want to be able to pop a good ollie on one.

Rock Vans Classics with a Skate Mental deck, ventures and bones. Solid feel for indoor/out.

A little bit more expensive than the stereo vinyl but the Penny's have better wheels, so its worth it.

I play tennis about 4-5 times a week, one of those days actually being a league match. I try to play soccer whenever I get the chance, which is probably about 1 ever other week (depends on my schedule).
I don't skate as much anymore. Between school, work, and other sports, I skate maybe once or twice a week if I'm lucky to fit it in. I haven't been on a board in a month. About to take a trip out to the Philippines, so hopefully I can get some good skating done out there at some cool spots.

I played various sports all through school and never really dug any of em, and then when I finally started skating in 12th grade I was just like FUCK what have I been doing with my life?

All I do is smoke weed, drop acid, and listen to MF DOOM http://www.facebook.com/SpacemanNYC http://theinnercitykids.tumblr.com/
