The Official Escapist Skaters Thread!

[shockandawe95]

I was just talking to ansem1532 about how I wonder if there are any skaters[skateboarders] on the Escapist other than myself. So if you skate tell and talk about how good you, what your area is like, and whether you have a friendly neighborhood skate company like around here. In the humble town of Wheeling WV we have the murder one skate team created by rapper[not a big fan but he helps]Juice. He help get our skate park which is one or two years old. I enjoy vert but sadly my best trick is a fakie shuv-it rock to FS revert

Nope, can't skate, I ended up bruising my hip really badly the last time I attempted to.

I skated for about 8 years, and got pretty decent at street. I had to give it up though because i inherited bad knees, and even in high school, a bout of skating with my buds would leave me to go home and ice them for an hour so I could still walk. But by the end, I had a pretty nice repetoire of moves, most of which would be showcased down flights of stairs or funboxes in parks. My brightest highlight was a 360 flip down a 6 set of stairs, over top of the hand rail. I was pretty pumped about that, saddly I broke my board shortly after doing a pop shove it and accidentally stomping the tail. I really miss it though, and wish I didn't have such garbage knees, but at least I can still snowboard (which I love).

yeah I snowboard too, and i too had to quit for a little while[year] because my legs were bruised so bad from the minibowl and our hubba that I needed a break.

When I use my friend's skateboard as a chair, does that count?

 

[jimkozminski6714]

I've been skating for 7 years. DFL now for sure. I skate everything, but I like bowls and pools the best. Something with tight transitions, good fast lines, cement coping and tile. Like I said though, I'm open to pretty much anything. I love everything about skateboarding.

I never really got into the tech tricks too much, but I've got some airs, grinds, and inverts going on transitions, and some ledge, wallride, and small-to-midsized gap skills going in the streets.

I just moved, and I'm still getting used to the changes in the skate scene here. We had a really good park with a bowl, vert ramp, and some other stuffback home though.

I snowboard too. Pretty much all street with that, cause I'm so damn broke. I still need to get on that before the winter ends.

Yea....Dont do that.....I tried it and lets just say sliding down a ditch hurts.

 

[Lord_Of_Plum]

Yeah, I'm pretty much an expert at skateboarding. I can do the "Fall Off Board, Scrape Knee and Cry." Oh, and I can do the "Try to Jump on Board but Slip, Scrape Knee and Cry." Funny, all of my moves end with "Scrape Knee and Cry."

Did I say that was my idea.

No, no I didn't.

Now where was I...

Ah yes, *continues making chocolate milk*

I used to be a pretty keen Inline Skater a few years back.

I don't know if I'm welcome here. We all know what skaters think of my kinds.

[TheRightToArmBears]

I must have been skateboarding for ages. I was inspired to when playing THPS2 so that's a while ago.

Well it all went downhill when I couldn't find a spoon =/

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I do all kinds of boarding. Mountain boarding, surfboarding (which I have done all my life), skateboarding and snowboarding (because skiing is boring!)

 

[jdog345]

I used to. I did it for a year. I was decent,all I could do was kickflip. Then I discovered music, and haven't touched it since.

[TwistedEllipses]

I can do a 720 degree varial-underslip-double kickflip-mctwist!

...but only on Tony Hawks Underground...and only with moon gravity and matrix mode cheats...

 

[Jharry5]

I skated for a few years. I wasn't that good. The only thing I was any good at (even then, not great) was flatland. I was okay at manual-ing....
If I remember rightly, the best trick I did was a Nollie Hardflip over a small gap (a gap in poorly laid paving stones) which was pretty much the highlight of my *ahem* career...
