Man I forgot how much fun it was to watch your real stuff..
Just because it reminds me of how I skate..
I'm not really freestyle but creative with my own variations
everything else seemingly bores me..
I was also over main stream!
When I bombed a highway bank and well.. yes..
sirens loud shit.. coma.. doctors telling you why you're in the hospital?
Well needless to say I'm an idiot, Hey don't skate when you get out ok you need to heal..
and I did tried to ollie some fucking chain only to open a wound and go back in for staph infection.
Simple shit is full of win, my friend.
That one thing on the 2 pallets was where it's at, if we could lift up our nose go up something slightly higher and lift our tail over it ingame would be a dream
I'd love to see you get into mini ramp skating. You put so much into style I bet it would translate well.
Sweet board, what's the dimensions?

after the nose cutting the length is 29''
width at back bolts 7"
width in the center 8"
width at front bolts 7.5"

Picture of the bottom preez? =3

Not one scuff mark
Remember, griptape side down when you sleep with it

ok, got the pic of the bottom for you Nolan, its with the others.
SG, yeah its still super clean, skated it for like 30 mins the night i got it but its been raining ever since...
You did a really good job sanding down the nose. But I'd recommend a tail block so you don't razor tail the fuck out of it.
GT: ZigZaggerr
thanks man, really proud of that nose, took like 2 inches off, used a pencil and a piece of string to make the circular shape, was very fun. The board was only $79 and the tail is huge, if it gets too sharp i'll just do to it what i did the nose until i need to buy another, never going back to standard boards, im hooked...
I'm with you on this, I have 4 on my wall that I used to skate. They're so much fun. Especially the smaller ones because you can still do tricks with them.
GT: ZigZaggerr
Again,
your real life style and your style on the game........... exactly the same. Interesting.
You kind of remind me of mullen.
I do get that a lot, he is what really got me into skating and has always been my biggest influence. After reading his book too i can really relate to his mindset on skating and life in general.
That one foot 360 revert is sick.. I may have to teach myself.
What's the book called?
the trick to the 1 foot 360 reverts is front foot placement. Gotta find that spot around the front bolts and get the right weight so that the board can pivot around, but not so much that you start to manual.

Nice.. sounds simple enough.. Do you have any variations of it; like shuv out?
Don't remember seeing any by you..
could be interesting.. that's immediately what came to mind for me.
I'll go to the local barnes see if they have it..
Never read a book about skateboarding.. a few magazines.
yeah i've done body varial, shuv and pivot variations lately, even a pretty much 540 version, even though really its a 360 with a pivot at the end.
its my fav book of all time, couldn't recommend it more
Sounds tech..
hope to see more sometime.
So, you can do standard tricks? You just think its more fun to create your own tricks?
I bet your really good at standard skating.... crooks, board slides, kickflips, tre flips, etc. Id like to see you mix them up. Ya look pro haha.
I had some standard tricks when i was younger, some sets, rails, even then not a lot of fliptricks, but enough to get by. Then I rolled my ankle and couldn't skate for a while, just kinda focused on my flatground/freestyle skating because it hurt to pop anything and never really went back. I was never good at street anyway and i always had a love for freestyle.
As far as stadard tricks that i have now, not many, fakie bigspin/540 bigspin couple shuv variations including one foots. But other than that i really just focus on my own tricks and other old school tricks. I've gone months without ollieing or doing a fliptrick and really dont care Im happy with my own bag of tricks.

I feel ya on that pawn. I'm just gettin' back from my sprained ankle and shit's tough. Mashed potato to axle was one of the dopest things I've seen I a while, good shit!

But like a funny sad, like when a girl gets cunt punted and she yells really loud and high and funny, but then she bleeds to death
just curious, what mindset is that?
my mindset in skating (and i hate to sound like an angsty little teenage faggot) is "die trying." This one phrase has got me to try and actually land stuff that i would normally just blow off. I can thank Tommy Sandoval for it.
You sound like a angsty little teenage faggot
You said it
It was on the tip of my tongue, thanks

yea no problem dawg
You should really read the book, but i dunno, quotes like this:
"Do what you love and try not to look at what other people occupy themselves with. Most people seem restless and bounce around too much to focus or even pay attention enough to themselves to figure out exactly what they really do love, as opposed to what the people that surround them are doing."
a couple inspirational interviews:
Bicycle, I was kinda kidding, but I think any label on skateboarding is improper
I don't skate like Pawn, but it is def skateboarding
I have a friend that slaloms and downhills, he's a skateboarder too
".........................................."
Helen Adams Keller
Skateboarding is skateboarding, if you ride a board you are a skateboarder and its skateboarding.
I find it sad that some people can have such a narrow view on skateboarding as a whole. Like all it is what is popular now or what the big pros are doing. Theres a lot more to skateboarding than just fliptricks, grinds, sets or whatever.
I have to disagree with that on a small scale. I know kids who just buy really colorful skateboards just to look cool but they know nothing about skateboarding. I don't think you can really call those kids skaters.
GT: ZigZaggerr
You know what you know..
you learn as you go.
^^^I agree with this somewhat, but I think pawn's point was more that freestylers, or dudes who just dont do normal tricks are still skaters. People like the kids who always show up at the skatepark with a brand new setup, but never skate, just sit on the ledge the whole time... they aren't skaters.
Also, longboarding is not skateboarding.
Silly rabbit, tricks are for kids.
How can you defend freestyle then say longboarding is not skateboarding? For shame...
If you're talking about OG Daniel Gesmer freestyle, then I won't defend that. That's dancing on wheels, might as well be ice skating.
But back to your question, it's really simple: I've never met a freestyler that I couldn't relate to, and I've never met a longboarder who wasn't a kook.
So dancing on a skateboard isn't skateboarding?
what about carving a bank?
high jump?
slolem?
So only what is most popular now is what real skating is?
yeah, i figured you were kidding a little but i also sensed a little something else in there.
my two cents(and this applies to the whole convo):
yeah we're all skaters, but we have different prefrences. We all eat different types of food but we don't call everyone a pizza guy or a chicken man. We say everyone eats. Sure, that guy may prefer pizza, but that doesn't mean we should call him that. Sure, that man may like chicken, but that doesn't mean we should call him that. We simply say that he eats food.
I eat food. Im a skateboarder. I prefer pizza. I like to skate street... but im still a skateboarder.
He eats food. He's a skateboarder. He prefers chicken. He likes to longboard....but he's still a skateboarder.
All skaters. But different types... All the same, yet just a little different. Can't we all just get along and enjoy this miracluous feast we call skateboarding? Is that so much to ask? I like to think not. so how about you
thank you for your time.
/horrible metaphor (OR SHOULD I SAY MEATAPHORE L0OLOLOLOL) that most deffinitly contradicts itself.. you get the goddamn point.
Have never met a long boarder that didnt skate
Most skaters i know are kooks
It would be dificult to count someone out cause i dont "relate" to them
Wether i relate or like how someone skates, if they stand on a board with 4 wheels and roll 1 inch they are skating. Thats my opinion, doesnt mean i like it
I cant relate to 20 kids coming to a huge skatepark with everything imaginable to skate and standing in line to ollie off the equivelant to a fucking loading dock, and thats the majority, but those stupid kids are def skateboarders and i dont have the right to think any different
".........................................."
Helen Adams Keller
Its funny cuz its true haha, So often its everyone in line to skate something and im stuggling not to get in the way cuz im coming in from some other direction skating something in a way no one else is...
actually got to skate a bit today, everythings drying up, cant wait to start filming again. Got a footplant 1640 manual spin today and a switch 1 foot 720 manual spin, man i love fake tricks
Man you love taking shit out of context; have you heard Gesmer talk about skating, or even seen his skate parts? Or rather, "choreography" as he calls it. HE looks at it as a dance, not me. His mindset is that of a dancer, not a skateboarder. So no he isn't skateboarding; he is dancing with a skateboard. I could go on about other stuff he says and his views, but it basically comes down to this: if you walk down the street with your board in your hand, then you're walking, not skating.
And I already stood up for freestyle, which is arguably the least popular form of skating right now, so your last point makes literally no sense.
I don't skateboard in real life. I tried... but its not in my genes, and I don't have the patience to learn. However, I'm still a really big fan of it. I watch real life parts like every day.
All forms of skateboarding are entertaining to me... freestyle is very exciting (but can get boring to watch without a grind or two)... standard street skating is beautiful to watch... vert skating has a good, smooth feeling when I'm watching it.
