I used to be pretty good, was almost sponsored once.
Haven't really skated since my depression got really really really bad, like in about 2009... still got my board though just incase I decide to take it up again which I've been considering recently.

>>735932413
Really cool and hyper alpha male popular - 40 fucking years ago

I skate causally, I don't know any tricks and I'm definitely a poser lol

never had one but wanted to learn it.
most of the "skaterkids" were just sitting around, next to the halfpipe, doing everything excapt skating. most of them i got to know were retarded or assholes. i am from germany tho.
thank you for a not retarded thread OP

I was a sponsored skater and i was never really that good. Sponsors are easy. it's the big ones that are hard.

Used to love it as a kid but now I'm older I don't do it... it's sad really, I'm only 20 but the place I'm from/friends I have restrict me from doing it.... I know, un alpha but what the hell

Op here, gonna pick it back up this summer. Used to be decent in middle school, hoping to get back to skating bowls.

Jesus christ /b/ has gone downhill. Are you actually fucking retarded? Get back to ifunny, you're clearly twelve.

>>735934170
We can't have conversations if it isn't about traps or rating dicks anymore.

Was the foundation of my childhood, learned alot about persistance and determination from hours and hours of trying to land various flat land flips. Was really pissed whe boardzone in waterloo got bought out by west 49

>>735934170
>/b/ has gone downhill

dude this place has been a cesspool as long as ive been here quit pretending like its some elite forum for feels n shit. the only difference between now and before is there arent a ton of raids now. it has always been shit, it will always be shit. stfu and get off ur high horse faggot

>>735932413
it's been the core of who i am as a person for 30 years and it was better as a crime

I'm 17 and I'm gonna buy a board soon, never skated before so I'm kinda excited

>>735934722
the older you get the tougher it gets tbh, your joints start hurting more and more, the pain doesnt go right away after you walk it off. youre still young, so youll be fine for now, but try to take it easy on your body when you start out or youll hurt like a mother fucker when you get old

i've been skating since i was a kid, and about 4 years ago me and a friend started riding cruisers; hill bombing, adventures, long distance marathons, generally going fast and far. changed my perceptions of skating.
now, all of a sudden, every urbanoutfittersfag in my city (UK) is sporting a fuckin £200 loaded bamboo complete, and walking around town with it. Seriously i barely see these people riding their top-flight longboards, and when they do, they all fucking wobble around like pic related

i hate being bitter, but i just want skating to be uncool again so these fuckers will sell their boards and stop turning one of the coolest fucking things humanity has ever shat out into a fucking tie dye fashion statement.

also fuck penny boards

>>735934722
Incoming ban

>>735933366
I met the head of Public Decks after one of the guys on their team that I skated with bigged me up to the company and arranged for him to watch me skate at Radlands skatepark in Northampton... the dude never turned up so I never got signed.
You do realise not everyone lies on the internet?
I have absolutely NOTHING to gain from lying about this.

Woodfags

>>735934873
I might learn a couple of tricks but mainly i wanna star of cruising, once I'm confident enough I'll try to learn more tricks

I've been skating for 15 years, go 3 times a week. It's better than almost any other hobby or sport because I can go anywhere In the world with my board meet a friend who doesn't speak English, spend the day with them, eat food, and see all the backdoors of a country I've never visited before. Skating is cross cultural, has (almost) no age restrictions, and is amazing exercise ( not many fat skaters out therr)

>>735932413
I think that that's not a treflip. Skate and destroy

That isn't 'nearly getting signed' that's being given the same polite fuck off response he's probably given to a thousand other dreamers who think they're Rodney Mullen.

"Immu punk! Scatboarding nut a crime! Nevar adjusting to da rulez of society! Now give me 200$ do buy those new Etnies or my friends won't accept me anymore, mom!"

Bunch of assholes.

If that's what you choose to think negative Nancy.

>>735932413
I was sponsored by a local shop and used to do street comps

Got free boards which was nice but outside of that they didn't really do much for me, got some shirts.

Skateboarding will always be my favorite thing. I dont even skate anymore but I wish I did

Not yet. No good street spots in my part of town. Trying to ask one of my friends who has a shop sponsore if he'll help.

>>735937680

nothing beats the tension. going as fast as you can, right on the edge of getting speed wobbles, not knowing whether that car is gonna be round the corner, or exactly where that pothole you saw earlier is, wrestling with your fear telling you to slow down "just a tiny bit"

then you see the end, you realise you're gonna make it, and you try and wring the last bit of speed out before you level out, and the wave of triumph fucking washes over you and you just fucking howl and scream like a tard and this massive grin stretches your face out wide. you come to a stop and stand there on your shaky legs, your wind-stung eyes gushing water down your face, feeling the adrenaline, fucking top of the world shit man, which is ironic cause you're at the bottom of a hill.


then you think "fuck man, i definitely could have gone a bit faster at the end there" and now you gotta walk all the way back up


tell me about vert

>>735938578
That's a lame excuse/ Go find some spots, man

I used to skate but i wasn't very good, so I started longboarding and I love that. Occasionaly i still ride my old skateboard just for shits

Been skating casually for years. Can barely kickflip.

Is there any hope for me?

>>735938943
I learned backside 180 kickflips in 1 day. Just surround yourself with good skaters and skate as much as possible.

>>735934933
Love my cruiser

>735932413
fucking nigger

>>735934933
Pretty much this, loved it up until last year of high school when it got super popular. I liked that it was uncool and that nothing was really expected of you, you did what you liked until you were fucking exhausted. Skating is such a good way to relieve stress its crazy.

>>735939802
Broke my wrist bombing a hill three weeks ago. Another month till i can skate.
