The Skateboarding Thread

[lopli]

The thread to talk about skating in general, the skaters, the games, and the magazine articles. Don't be stereotypical. Not all skaters hate cops or are emo. And if you come in here with that attitude, I'll probably get pretty pissed

Here's my board.

The deck is from Cosmic Skate Shop. It's like their company board. It says ''Cosmic Invasion 2010'' which is a contest they have in Lexington every year. The hardware[bolts and screws] is Mini Logo. The bearing are FKD. The wheels are from Outer Loop. And the trucks are off my old Alliance board[from Hibbets]. I'm gonna need new trucks soon. the indepdendent trucks thing is just a stciker

Call me sadistic, but I'll watch it once in a while just to see the wipeouts.
And by once in a while, I mean every few months.

If someone's being prejudiced here... It's you... And it's about us. Just because we don't like something, doesn't mean we're stereotypical about it...

JUST webber, JUST.
God dammit, how many times do I have to tell you this?!

[Webber3000]

There... Edited. Happy now?

[lopli]

I'm not trying to shove it down your throats I just enjoy talking about it. I think it's an awesome sport. I love to watch it and I'm at the point where I can hold my own at actually doing it. I think it's a hobby I'll never let go hopefully. But the reason i said stereotypical is because a lot of people think skating is emo. That's silly. Skating's been around for decades, you can't judge it based on the last 5 years of poser faggets. They don't count

[Webber3000]

And when exactly did we say skateboarding was emo?

[lopli]

You've never said ANYTHING about it. lol. It's just that people on other sites, and people I know at school think it's emo. and people are so teenybopperish. i run into people all the time and there like ''dude, skating is out of style''. Who gives a fuck! People make a living out of it, should they throw their $120+ board away, and throw away millions just to fit in?
