The Official Escapist Skaters Thread!

[bmf185]

Skateboarding has some of my best memories. My friend and I used to go out in our sister small towns at three or four AM and just break ourselves off over whatever gaps we could find. He kept a homemade rail in his car that we used when we weren't at the local seven-stair rail--good times. We were pretty good (I suppose), but never really went after sponsorship because we were having fun and didn't want to make business out of it.

I think the most fun thing was building a looong box, putting it down a ditch, and doing lips/blunts down it in the rain. Ha, I sound like a jaded old fool.

Wait, this is an official thread, even though it was created by a new member? That boggles my mind.

On topic: I suck but I enjoy it. I like flat open spaces, grounded tricks and the like.

I skateboard a lil', my best trick is (sadly) fakie shuv-it's or fakie kickflips. But my main focus is inline....yep. I can do a hell of a lot on skates.

At the park I go to, it's the fuckin' bmx-ers that piss me off, they'll camp on the half-pipe for half an hour, but when you roll over there, they drop in just to be dicks.

Sweet, another (inline) skater.

My expertise is 'Get on board' and 'Get off board'. I have yet to 'Move' on a skateboard, unless you count going down a hill whilst laying down. Shame I was five when I did that, and also a shame I didn't know the incline went on for over half a mile and eventually moved through busy traffic.

"That was the first time I died."

Not skated properly in years but fairly average in skill 540's and the like
