Skated for a while but you skate like a beginner? landings are sketch and your doing basic tricks on a 2 stair...wooooo. i can go on and on. skate faster.. shit is slow. lol

[idahotuner]

im not great either but i havent touched a board in a while and it only takes a few flicks to get rockin again. skating helps that way when your learning a new trick or playing skate. But not getting footy.

The aim was not to create a masterpiece....The goal is to get better with each video you make, whether it's filming technique, skating, editing...Why be so negative? I think it's a pretty clever video with decent skating.

I am by no means trying to get sponsored with this or any other video I make or participate in, it's fun.

I am just beginning to skate faster regularly, for some reason I skated for years and stayed at a relatively beginner level, while maintaining a large catalog of flip tricks. I finally understand how to really skate.

I always wanted to learn how to skateboard cause of my brothers but they both broke bones and i never really got into it so i just ride around no tricks. Then i found snowboarding.. never went back to skateboard but a long board is pretty damn fun. Snowboarding>longboard>skateboard. Post some videos up of you skateboarding.

[Antihero983]

[Brian]

I can't skate anymore.

I tried to not TOO long ago with Dr. Baby and Ross Dead Priate Productions.

We hit up a couple skateparks around here.


It is so strange watching kids skate NOW compared to watching them skate 5 years ago.


WHat the hell is going on with everybody having white cords dangle from the ears.
ipod? whats that?

[DUDEIDONTHAVEA240]

The Berrics - The Best Skateboarding Site In The World
theres some locals to san diego (where i live) on there, they are really good and I have been out skating with them more than a few times.

[Brian]

Somebody already cut out the flat bar and kept it as a relic.
Geoff Rowley also tageed up the bank (which you cant see in the picture)
This was just a couple days before they tore the whole thing out

[spikNspan]

I started skating 12 years ago, broke my leg really bad in high school and ever since then it's been off and on. I'm definitely better now than before at flip tricks, but I was crazier when I was young.

[shmiddy]

dude that was pretty good!

nice frontside flip of them steps, switch hard flip, and i like that bank you did that flip body varial +1 sir!!!

[shmiddy]

ill post up some vid's of when i skated a few yrs back when i get home from work today..

i was pretty good (not to toot my own horn) lol

[Antihero983]

ready for this one?

I've been skating off and on since 13, im 23 now.....and i have never landed a flip trick.

[s13poop]

its a pretty good basic skate video

camera man needs to catch you landing the tricks not shooting you from behind and wait til' you complete the trick

agreed on whats been said before skate a little faster it'll definately help your technique and landing

thats pretty good for 2 years though keep skating and refine your style

i've been skating for almost 8 years i rolled my ankle about a year ago and it hasn't been the same but i still love to skate just no more loading docks or big set stairs for me anymore

[Bobafreak]

pussys lol. i kid i kid. i been skating since i was 10 im 24 now.. I can hammer some rails but im more of a tech flip, gap guy. skated for jers board shop aka utility back in the yay day. Thinking about skating some more for 71 in chino but i need to talk to my ol boy tim.
