You stoopid kn **** there are no shortage!

Oh - sorry i thought you said haters.

Been 20 yrs since I frequented a sk8tee but wish my tired old bod could do it and bounce back like it used to.

As I posted a while back I reckon sk8ting is the supreme board sport for skills and has shown the way for all other board disciplines as far as tricks go.

Not saying one is better than the other BTW - just that the smoove mooves from vert and street sk8ing have helped the other sports evolve.

Surfing rocks too but my old shoulders are rooted.

Hence the reason I let a big-@rsed kite tow my lazy butt around these days.

I use mine to get to the pub, going home after a skin full is a skill in its self

There's another use for them?

It's too bad there's no coat checks in pubs/clubs around here, in Vancouver I used to check my board into the coat check and grab it on my way out.

I've just got the longboard for getting up and down the beach, broke too many bones riding a shortboard trying to do tricks

Where I drink they take my board and put it in the office and so far have never let me forget it, they have the best staff at my pub

Last time (2rs ago) ended up with a fractured arm, work was alot of fun for the next 8 weeks (funny that 6 yrs of skating didnt stop me Falling , those stones again)
wiping out on my 7ft.4 is a hell of alot nicer on the bod, maybe I should lose a few kgs!

Yeah Doggie- we should have swept..... haven't swept for about 6 months.....Street SUP is fun but nowhere here stocks the sticks and the national distributor is crap at replying to questions so I got over it. Carpark sessions are good- from the top to the bottom and catch the lift back up....SA crew are all over it.

Have seen some classic re-issues from my long gone era such as Vision, Santa Cruz and Alva directional boards.

Fat boards n trucks, chunky wheels, big @rsed kick tails..

Makes me wanna buy one and kid myself I'm not breakable again... almost.

There was a topic on collecting old skate decks - not sure where it went to.

OMG




you know 'if' skaters had money that collection would be worth quite a bit,
but they dont ....
I wont insult you with any offers but there is about four, no six
there that I would like in my coffin.

I bloody did!! My 1st board bought from a tiny sports shop in the London Arcade circa 78'?. Wish to fek I kept it. In the 80's I had a few diff fat boards (and plackt too) but used to drag out the SS and do suicide slalom runs down my uneven street path just cause it was so kn sh!t. Still got the knee and elbow scars to remind me.

Saw a sk8ty display at the BDO about 12 yrs ago and the bloke had sk8 from the ages. One of his favs was a good ol' Surfer Sam.

Some super cool boards above fellas.

ok
