I started playing Skate 2 at a friends house. Although I was watching all kinds of Skate 3 videos before that. I bought Skate it for DS in winter 2010, then I got Skate it for wii in summer 2010, in for Christmas 2010 I got Skate 3, then my buddy gave me Skate 2 since he didn't play it anymore (I need that damned filmer pack!). While I was scrolling through videos, I saw this video before I even played any of the games, since then, I've always looked up to Derk, Ill, and Prowlin, needless to say my style isn't remotely like theirs. And then this is my very first solo, it's horrible. My first team was GOX which was a team I made and put random people on, and since I had no idea how the community worked since I wasn't a part of it, I pmed them and told them to film shit, and I lurked on their reels. :P
I got skate. days after release. Played the ever loving shit out of it, and have bought 2 and 3 on the days of release.
I'm a hardcore lurker, never really been into posting / vid making / any of that sort've thing.
Always loved 1954 / Doppleganger.
In n out was always one of my huge loves.
Pawn / all of OATS have kept me going through the series.
OG kids table stuff (islandvibes21.. supafly..buttplugg..derek goodspeed)
I was on this shit way ahead of time. I remember hooking up an account almost a month ahead of time and the forums were wild as fuck back in the day. When the demo dropped you could post a 4 second clip on youtube and get 30,000 views in a few hours. At first, I didn't know anybody. I played with randoms for awhile until I could land a clean trick and throw in a treflip on the rollaway and then I made my first video. I've always, always tried to live somewhere between simulated reality and actual in-game difficulty. I was teamless for all of S1. S2 started and I formed a small team with deadredeyes: R.I.P. 202. Then Stevland, who is one of the best people I've ever met, invited onto DP. I think I had an early chance at Psychonaut, but the past is the past.
Early influences: Midnight for sure. He's as technically gifted as Southie . . .seriously. SignGuy has always had one of the most distinctive styles. Demz had something special from the start. Skhate88 was a major influence for S2. Horsehead has some of the best spots and filming in the game. Knex has been a long time love affair. Little surprise here, Eflixx has influenced my filming style more than anyone else. Eflixx is the unqualified best filmer of all time. Bullet changed the game during S2, for everyone. I remember being in a party with Demz and Magic and a few other dudes and Demz was like, "What the fuck, have you seen Bullet?" the rest is history.
Special Mention: Clayfighter who is the sweetest, funniest dude and seriously has an amazing eye for finding gaps.
Rip Ol' Rusty, HandyGap, and The Darkness. Those three gaps have had some of the gnarliest online sessions that I can remember and some of my best online moments with members of DP, 54, Psychonaut, AM, Threat, the Locs. I remember Anchors saying, "what if we tried to land a trick between the lamp post and the parking meter?" 2 hours later I landed a bs heelflip and it was fucking on like donkey kong.

"like a gnarly dog on PCP with gold teeth biting your face."
i like this thread alot and i like the people in it. ive been around for a very very long time, back when this place was a twinkle in a hobo eye and have to say most of the people who inspired me still do. like everyone demz has played a big part in my skate experience, i didnt understand his videos until talking to him and it opened my mind to the world of animations. i feel like i was cruising and demz showed me kickflips. magic is another big influence as he essentially seems to be my mirror half and this partnership that has started hoodlum, and that has also kicked off the e-Careers of many.
sss and dp where also quite an influence in that they represent an idea that i feel the best teams on here adapt to, they have become a fixture in this culture. this is really hard to right down in full cause i have so much to say but ill basically break it down to a sentence and a name
Jack: you are great and funny and im glad i know you
Robley: i have a great deal of respect for you and hope to one day own a condo with you, and all woman condo in which dress up as ugly ladies and pretend to be our male cousins.
Mack: youre black and that is good enough for me
Bullet: youre one of the best people hands down. period blood.
Skatehead: only person who can make the gonz style work, and youre my friend
heshfield: holy shit you are my hero style and graphic work you are a man!
Permy: youre gay and youre dad hate the internet i love you!
um too many people to name damn it skate for introducing me to too many nice people all the others dont feel slighted i love you all in the gayest way possible. and thank you to the people i have touched along the way, without you not pressing charges i would be locked away.
HEY OM YEAH HOODLUM[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
i bought s1 the day it came out... i didn't even own an xbox at the time i just knew i wanted the game.
had to skate to the other side of town everyday to play it at a friends house, he got really pissed off at me just going round to use his xbox then pissing off home.
i managed to save up just enough money to buy an xbox just before xmas 07
played og pretty much everyday, it was love.
didn't get xbl until mid 08 i think, first guys in the community i spoke to were bene, newblood, shady4chi, satori...
then i got on reign so i used to talk to those guys on the reign chatbox constantly, never really seshed online though.
mid way through s2 it was dp, got talking to stevland alot, best/nicest guy in this community hands down. the fucker even bought me ms points and posted them to me so i could get trails HD, true friend.
other guys i was inspired by...
jack barclay <3
tno
demz
flix
kanen (intrewders)
im006, thanks to whoever posted that guys name in this thread, i forgot about him but he was sick.
bullet
robley
horsehead!
heshfield
saunders & perm (just for putting up with my cuntyness in parties)
can't think anymore
skate was and still is the best game ever.
"She had a fanny like a packet of cheddar and onion McCoys. 50p. High fat content. Stunk of coagulted cow-juice. Udder shudder. Chop an onion. Makes you cry. So did her snatch. Growled at me like a rapist's dog. My favourite crisps."
so much point swapping during skate.
shit ive never herd of in any other game community this small...
SUPPORT YOUR HOMIES...
first person i ever played with was mazzdizzy. he was the only person on my xbl friends list. he then introduced me to inNout, switchtre and this guy named stopgob, who i became fakeskate bff with. then he just vanished outta nowhere never to return. and the person responsible for me even putting a video out is sknoodler. which in turn ended up getting me on my first fakeskate team SnD which led to me joining Hoodlum. here is that fisrt vid i ever did.
i looked up to mazzdizzy during the demo days since he was droppin vids like crazy. i also really looked up to clay and magic which is why i wanted to be on hoodlum since i can remember.
i miss the Og days, shit was fun. meeting cuz for the first tiem online, having dumb beef with inNout and bks. telling Cip off in a 19page hidden thread. fuckin TUGBOAT!
Clay... Magic... Thanks for all the great times.

Rocked OG on my Xbrick, couldn't get enough of breaking bones for like the first 2 hours. Then actually tried the skating and was hooked for life. Graduated to S2 and was a competition skater, never even touched cameras until S3 demo. Hooked up with some guys off the start on Motion, left that team and randomly hooked up with the Dharma guys. The sex was good, been there ever since releasing trash that only I like.
Inspiration: E, Sickones, Pawn, Stevland, Derk
Who helped me learn stuff : ChasmJ, Ayreon, Antwan
Before the OG demo dropped, I was rapping with gregisonfire on the IGN forums about creating a skate team before the upcoming release. I pitched the name reIGN because it cleverly had IGN in the name. Gay. The week before OG demo, 8/13/2007, greg posted THIS under the heading "Team reIGN". That was the beginning. I made a demo video, but was such a retard that I couldn't get it posted on YT.
Soon after that I made this website, maybe the first fakeskate team site ever. Don't ask why I haven't allowed the domain name to expire - http://skateteamreign.com/pro_team.html
So then my first video:
A few months later I was inspired by homies at SkateThis to play around with coffin cams. Being the antisocial douche that I am, I figured out a way to make one by myself with 2 xboxs and 2 tvs. Playing on one tv, and filming on the other. There were rubber bands and tripods and dv cams involved. A total mess. My gf thought I was an idiot.
Here are the first 2 tests:
I thought the second test was dope, so I moved forward with an all cofin cam vid, edited to music I created. Here it is:
Aaaaaand cut. I don't even know what that was supposed to be.
After that, the team was cooking, gregisonfire was long gone, leaving me as the only original founding member. Many good times followed. I remember staying up crazy late to coffin film ShaydeeUK. I remember hitmanx123 before his nads dropped. He was Perm v1.0 back then.
Without going into the whole story, shit got kinda crazy, team drama, skatethis drama, inbox full of shit from 12 year olds, I simply got turned off. Just before reIGN made a bit of a name for itself, I bailed. Like MIA bailed. Gone.
I played S2 like a meth addict, but didn't involve myself with the community at all. Something I will always regret, cause I missed all the good shit.
I came back with Lb#1 right before S3 dropped, not as MonThakma, but under the new name BladderBoy. I wanted to start fresh I guess. Or maybe I was avoiding the hit that Zodas put out on me after leaving reIGN high and dry. Maybe making Lb was my penance for going AWOL and letting down my OG homies.
Much respect and thanks to Magic for putting a gun to everyones head and making them look at my fakeskate mag.
Shaydee, DVC, Zodas, Hitman, Rhekaan - my belated apologies. Props on moving forward with reIGN, and earning the Cuz "Team Reign would like that" shoutout in S2. A single tear fell from my eye when I found that easter egg. Proud to be a part of it.
Glad I got that off my chest after 3 years...
Thanks for reading and watching.

Played OG and s2 from the start pretty much (though OG was intermittent due to my obsession with rainbow 6)
Made quite a few s2 graphics, but didn't starting making vids till end of s2, continued into skate 3, gutted I wasn't active during the glory days. Still i'm here now, and whether there is a community or not I'll still be making vids, as I love doing it.
EDIT - Just read the orignal post so wanted to expand on my post.
Animal Machine and Forge Style Films (Champoy) were the reason I started making videos, after discovering them on YT. 6am was the first FL I ever wacthed and is still one of my favs. Loved watching AlexOrregos vids too and Jankies.
There are so many people now i enjoy wyaching videos from - Boxer, notedderk, alex, adda, wiltz, sk8ratwar, river, saunders420, whatbra, mattyman, sickones, slamooh, jerrel, pk, push, marco, guni, cash and skatertinky, plus plenty of other peeps.
First peeps I seshed with online was a dude called remix on xbox and easkatekrew on ps3. I then met a whole heap of people online xb - drawls, Duce NLS, DuunderMifflin, Ohmid, Mathiys, roflcopter, rushiie, EZ Cake, Mattyman, Platypus, Boxerman, Riverking, Marco, Sk8ratwar, reflex, mguni, chizzy, sourdeeze, fullyflared, phantom soup, banner boy, alexmcs, whatbra, jimmy2times I could go on....
Had some mad funny sessions with most of the people, just hanging out online till like 5 and 6am telling sick jokes and laughing at random shit. Still do actually and whether one of us playing skate , battlefield 3 or saints row etc the usual suspects hang out in XBL parties
On ps3 (when i go on it) old skooler, adda, ea skate crew and mage i have skated with a few times. I really need to get back on Ps3 always had a good laugh when i do.

IM A BOSS ASS BITCH
I Started playing skate. the day it came out. Being a skateboarder in real life made me want that game so bad. Never played with anyone except my homie from my hometown. Skate 2 rolled in and I was still playing all by myself not even knowing that there was actually a community out there. Skate 3 came around and for about 3 years I played it by myself still. Started making parks and putting them out still not knowing about the community, the only person i really knew about was chilifrat so i defenitally looked up to him for a while. One day someone sent me a friend request by the name of Fubzie and sent me a message saying he liked my parks. I started chatting with him and finally found out there was a whole community of park creators and filmers and all this and that and basically this game just evolved for me from skate 3 to 4. After a day or two i started chatting with fubzie n MrMaster and SmurfsInaBox. We formed LPC after a while and met lots of new friends like suds and luft and m7 and fecal face and i cant even begin to mention all of you. This game and community i must say has to be the friendliest out there.

Nice thread.
Ii start go on skate this and meet people and my absolutely first home was CHRIS19 he was used to help me with the coffin cams when in n out made a tutorial for do that on after effects, he was on a great team (I don't remember the name) so he gets busy and I started a collaboration with BigRedTakeover for a sanvan tour.
I succeeded to have a tryouts in teamReign and I was finalist with FDH3RD and shaydeeUkAnd zodas chose for let enter both.
I learned a lot from that team, I was in pro team w rheekan norwegianpsycho shaydee zodas monthakama, DVC and more but those are the Skaters who influenced me, as skating and editing .
SSS, in n out, DP are surely the teams who I watched more and tried to learn from.
I know there are lot of more fellas and teams but at the moment I don't remember any.

This is the best thread ever, I started playing OG at a friends house and was amazed at how the physics effected everything. Finally managed to get a ps3 in july 2008 with OG. I saw a few of stevland & TNO's strictly vids and wanted to start making vids. Played solo for ages then ventured online in S2 and met eternalREWIND in a random freeskate. Eternal was the only person I seshed with for ages then I found Lb mag through the kids table, started taking photos and it soon became an obsession. Met so many people through the Lb chatbox and started seshing with adda,cerebus,OMGi'msue,needmoretime,fred and a bunch of other peeps. I think it was adda who introduced me to old skooler then seshing CAP's till 6 in the morning became a daily thing. Met jebotek during a CAP session during and soon after CAPfaction ST started, I've met so many cool people through this thumb flicking fake skating adventure. The whole time I was involved with helping out on Lb was the best fun I've had online and helped me through some rough times. Thanks for starting this thread Marco, been a great read.
<3 RIP pinkbananastatus and my 300 skate vids
Mack Magic & demz will always be my top 3
NeedsMoreTP was me on another account so I'm reiterating.
Used to hangout at the local EB Games and Play The OG Demo.
Picked up OG fresh off the Tony Hawk Boat.
Later on found the Kids Table When OG Was Still Poppin.
Before the Community I was 99% Tony Hawker.
Got Inpsired by some PawnLuv Videos and my Hybrid style started to form.
The Guys around here and other sites for the game really kept me going.
Even when It may have seemed like I was pissed off or full of myself I could've been way worse off.
I was all about OATS Videos for a long time so that team is top for me. Seeing how they are the reason I started in the first place It's only right.
Pretty Easy to Click with others through this game though, I've had run ins with quite a few people on here.
I Quickly realized how consistent others are, or maybe just how inconsistent I am.
My Videos took TIME but I'm just bad lol.
You know a game is special when you still talk to the people you played it with on a regular basis almost 10 years later
adding to that though: Magic, Clayfighter, Mack, skatevid2, and Mr Nelson up there^ aka UJusGotAdopted were some of the first people i really seshed with. so many OG Hoodlum pool seshes at 4 AM, even Cuz and scott blackwood would join the fun. btw, Cuz still owes me a copy of the last Tiger Woods game. Told me he'd send it to me if I beat his score lol. it's crazy to think though how many friendships were made and how many hours were spent laughing/connecting with people across the country who you'd probably never meet. I was lucky enough to meet Magic SEVEN years ago when I was on a trip to California. he witnessed me skate the Santa Monica Triple and the 14 at the highschool. skatevid2 and I have stayed at eachothers houses on multiple occasions and became good friends through skate. i love the internet
bonus friends i made playing this game: hitmanx123, ogrer, Doctor Q Who (i can thank him for my new gpu), ablindkid66, opie jacob, lbb (jake blue, aka Chris Cole NBD contest winner) kushkrashboom, uhhhh there was some guy named TheGhost301 who lied about who he really was, oh and does anyone else remember Cip? Cip4296 or something. that guy was a dick if i remember correctly, but there's also a legendary recording of him talking about karate kicking a toddler or something lol. man the kids table days were a trip

RISE Sorable: why do something in a game you can do in real life
I remember Cip, that freak out was one of the craziest things i can remember. God, this thread is a trip down memory lane
HEY OM YEAH HOODLUM[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
