I BUY SKATEBOARD

adam, you can't learn how to skateboard at your age.

haha, like I do this where anyone can see me!

No, like I said I just missed my GoPed and wanted some new wheels. You're only as old as you feel.

so very terrifying.

Appalling as that incident may be to animal rights activists, the question that fans now want answered is whether any other bird can replace Waldo. Hatebeak's future hangs in the balance, as this incident occurred on the first tour date in support of their upcoming Warner Brothers release.

A Warner Brothers executive was quoted as saying "We're confident Hatebeak will find a suitable replacement and have huge success with us in the future. This nonhuman vocalist trend is on the rise and Hatebeak will be here to spearhead it's rise!"

The pitbull duo of Caninus are currently being held in a local dog pound until the authorities finish their investigation into this matter. The band's human members could not be reached for comment prior to publication of this article.

Damage estimates from the small West Virginia club totally approximately $23,000.

APRIL FOOLZ

what classifies long boards these days? i mean... there's the 35 inch range, which was monstrous when we were kids, but it's no 50 inch toe hanger with inflatable wheels...

i can't really enjoy a regular board anymore. i had one and sold it. skate or die. == i'm undead now. it was just so small. it was gross like i was gonna break it every time i moved.

i want a bike bad. i still can't believe i haven't had one for a while. i lived on that thing.
m.

Longer Boards...i.e the old Schmitt Stix Yard Stick...32"-36" or so...or whatever are cool.

MSP have u thought about setting up an older board, I know that Vision and Santa Cruz both re-released all their classic boards with original shapes....HUGE BOATS!

im sitting on a pretty mint condition Jermey Klein from his early world days....im gonna set it up with some indy 169's, Swiss Bearings and HUGE/SOFT wheels.

OH, AND GET A BIKE!!!...YER CRAZY!!...GET ONE NOW!!!!!

i think the circus music opening is my favorite part

also 'yay!'

lol i just noticed he censors himself when yelling. "eff you!" "motherfricker!"

yes! the infamous spin around the fire hydrant!

i sent that william spencer vid to a skater friend and he said some bullshit about "circus/clown skating is generally looked down upon"

i used to skate both of those spots in HS. venice beach and i think stoner ave elementary

http://skateboardermag.com/skateboarder-news-features/features/15thingsembarc/

The San Francisco Police Department went above and beyond the call of duty to keep skaters out of Embarcadero. Walrus Man, Frisco Dyke, Terminator, and Officer Squirrel were a few of S.F.'s finest who were truly dedicated to their jobs. Officer Squirrel would strike from above, dropping from trees and jumping out from behind the wave. Walrus Man was too easily outrun, so he would wear a trench coat over his uniform and creep up on unaware skaters.

Oh my God, my mouth is agape and my mind is blown. Those William Spencer Videos are some of the gnarliest things I've ever seen and ever will see in my life.

i sent that william spencer vid to a skater friend and he said some bullshit about "circus/clown skating is generally looked down upon"

this is crazy

dude clearly knows how to do like normal skating or whatever

Yeah it's like he's bored with just ollieing huge gaps and doing big rails so he has to make it more interesting by bringing dork tricks into the mix. Dude is awesome.

yes! the infamous spin around the fire hydrant! - I agree, it is an awesome move & under-utilized even at the time. I think it was pretty much just Natas doing that, no?

btw, does anyone know what the song is that is playing in the Natas clip, or who it is by?

fIREHOSE Brave Captain

Natas clip was maybe the best video section ever when I was a kid. I must have watched it thousands of times.

I was into whichever H-Street video featured the extended street sequence b/w Ron Allen & Matt Hensley. Natas & those guys were srsly pushing the envelope back then.

Xposts: Natas was the first to do that at the time, and it was pretty much just him, kind of a mindblowing moment, that such a thing could be done (you hear a lot of stories of people trying to copy him and just not being able to do it).

maybe creepy of me to point out, but . . . Damn, that Natas video is so similar to 80s gay porn- the prison setting, the crotch shot, the supertan, the bro-down touching and patting going on, the awkward dialogue- it's exactly like a million "intro to porn sequence" scenes from Falcon or William Higgins movies. Just sayin'

Hmmn, I'm going to have to think on that for awhile, actually.

(whoa, I did one of those backside 5-0 stall to front foot kick out's yesterday, entirely by accident).

If anyone cares this http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-2750775636149876938&ei=jLr5SdSCGoHg-wGm5amPCw&q=ON+video+Natas&hl=en (from the very enjoyable, but sadly shortlived ON Video) has some pretty interesting background on Natas (and co.).

Oh man, Natas' mom - my cousin and I, being total 13 year old dorks, called information and got the listing for a "Kaupuas" in Santa Monica one day and ended up talking to her for a while. He wasn't home but she was super nice to us.

Ha, incidentally I happened to come across this today too (skip to the end of you think you're too good for a minute and a half of totally lovely Jahmal Williams footage - as if there's any other kind)

By end I mean 1:20

Hensley & Allen in the age of the no-comply:

Looking at these & the Natas clip, it is obvious that this was the transitional element b/w straight freestyle & street skating that would come to define the culture subsequently. Serious zeitgeist stuff. Who else at the time was this creative in terms of street skating? Mark Gonzalez, maybe, though he seems a bit more old-guard than these dudes.

Who else at the time was this creative in terms of street skating?

For me the big mind-blowing shift to modern street skating was this:

It's from Public Domain, like the Vallely bit, but there's so much going on here, young dudes I had never heard of at the time, and I think it came earlier in the tape so it stuck out more.

^^^ all of these are basically beautiful and transfixing imo

Ha, incidentally I happened to come across this today too (skip to the end of you think you're too good for a minute and a half of totally lovely Jahmal Williams footage - as if there's any other kind)

jahmal sold me a board last year - rad dude

xxpost: Good call on Public Domain, Vallely, Barbee & the rest of second-generation Bones Brigade. I totally forgot about them, but they were def right there with the H-Street crew back then. I dunno about Mullen, tho. Don't get me wrong, he is A+++, but I'm pretty sure he was still doing mostly straight freestyle at that time. That Plan B clip has to be from about 92/92, right?

from wiki:

His tenure at World Industries marked the beginning of a shift in his skating career from freestyle to street skating. He left the World Industries team to join Plan B, a super team made up of some of the high profile pros of that time. Throughout this period Mullen was learning from his idol Mike Ternasky, the Plan B founder, to adapt his freestyle skating form. This approach was first seen in the 1992 Plan B video Questionable, and ushered in a new era of street skating that took freestyle tricks which were traditionally done without rolling, or at slow speeds in a confined flat area, to a more varied terrain, often at speed and incorporating obstacles.

Loving all these clips , guys!!!

risers: useful or posers only

(briefly) skated with Steve Caballero day after Thxgiving at killllll skate park... i am SO BAD, my backside style is esp weak, embarrassing myself. stayed in the 2 pools and the FULL PIPE lol almost exclusively. is anyone besides la big vic or ddb doing any shralping these days?

i got on a skateboard after a few (really strong belgian) beers a month or so ago and just tried to do a simple 180 ollie and was on the ground. pretty amazing.

big up the nurdz

pretty much given up on any tricks (except LOL powerslides) when i go skate these days ... if i can bomb a hill or two without breaking bones i call it a good day

finally bought a deadstock traveler to accommodate my new, uh, style

there was a latino kid in chicago that always used to come by the bike shop with his shitty wal-mart skateboard and ask dudes to do tricks for him. when i moved to mpls i gave mine to him, so hopefully he is shredding

am SO BAD, my backside style is esp weak, embarrassing myself.

so basically u r such a crap sk8er that, when u launch into an aerial maneuver on a vertical ramp or bowl, u are unable to do so w/ the proper degree of finesse. yeah dude u sound like a goddam poser! Steve Cab must have been super-embarassed on yr behalf, at least before he invited you over to his crib to listen to some records by JFA & The Faction.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o28dyt7w3As

youtube of shasta grabbing air or it didn't happen

2 and a half weeks ago I celebrated the 10th anniversary of the day I got me first board! For the record I went skating this morning and spent 20 minutes watching skate videos last night, so things are still healthy!

And you want to talk about being bad at skating? I could put any of your inabilities to shame like no thang.

Oh my God, those William Spencer videos still are absolutely shocking, amazing, and immensely entertaining well after already having seen them. That man deserves a Nobel Prize.

for real. i just watched again cuz of yr post and was still O_O

^ what he said. feel so old.

music like this to pull heartstrings needs to chill, but vid's cool

What, how are there two legless skateboard virtuosi?
I think its pretty incredible that there's more people, in addition to Og De Souza doing this (although Og is crazy. Dude's 50-50ed 20 stair rails(!!!)).

Slam videos, and the people who love them, are generally extremely lame. But that one clip with the fullpipe rolling down the hill is pretty lawl.

i saw a video recently called something like "skater hunting season" and it was videos of people shooting huge guns and then cutting quickly to a skate slam. it was pretty funny, but i can't find it anymore

ah, remembered where i saw it. so great

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg63r0vx9Jo

also, i want a ghillie suit more than anything else in this world

ok i normally don't like slam vids but i am actually cackling with glee over here. and yes: want a ghillie suit so bad. i think i might make one for halloween!!

I thought the skate hunter thing was kind of funny. Stuff like "dumbass sacks nuts on skateboard" Ha-Ha type stuff though is just fuck off, though.

having actually sacked my nuts (broken wrists, twisted ankles) on a skateboard, slam vids make me feel actual, physical pain in remembrance. so yeah, total dud. Sk8-snipers are lol tho.

As far as mind bending video parts go, I don't know what to make of this

Kids these days are getting way too good for their own good.

i don't understand what happened at 3:00 in the dae vid

You mean the blunt f/s flip out?

yes

damn the kid in the linked vid is SICK holy shit

fuckin a

this is gonna sound dumb/weird but dude makes it look as effortless as snowboarding. that backside 3 @ 4:20 (lol) was nuts

SO KILLER!! KID IS A RIPPER FOR SURE!!

everything real big

all big everything

hit that button/ microwave oven

that dude's not gonna be able to walk when he's 35

Dude definitely can get his gnar on, but to be honest, he makes for a kind of boring video part. Don't get me wrong, he's impressive, but there's a reason the early 00s trend of hammer parts went away.

Amateurist called it a "novelty song" on another thread which really annoyed me

it is kind of a novelty song, but a good one.

Portishead - The Rip

What do people think of those little Stereo Vinyl and Penny boards? Thinking of getting one for my little brother (not a skater) for christmas, cause they're cute and on sale, but if they're universally reviled for some reason I'd rather save him the embarrassment.

no

https://vine.co/v/iqBOHBwZJYO

what were those skateboards in the 80s that were like half as long as a regular skateboard but just as wide? the one i had as a kid was hot pink.

Nash Doz'r?

Every pic I try to post gives me an error message, so just google image search it.

i don't see a hot pink one but otherwise that looks/sounds right. thanks!

There was a hot pink Nash Executioner. My neighbor had one of those.

it wasn't that. it was definitely more squat in shape like the doz'r.
