What do you think about skaters?

Mudokon_Master · #1 08-14-2011, 02:39 AM

I think they're much cooler and more skilled than scooter and bike riders. And I really dislike scooter riders. They're fucking everywhere.
I also ride a skateboard so I know how hard it is to look cool on one

What is your opinion on this?

***Nate*** · #2 08-14-2011, 02:49 AM

On the whole, I don't think about skaters.

STM · #3 08-14-2011, 02:49 AM

I used to fucking love skateboarding, I got really good too, up to a point where I could do kick flips, grinds and manuals...then my board snapped in two. I bought a new board two or three years ago and could barely even keep my balance so I lost all the good stuff I learnt.

What started my passion for skating was THPS 1 not surprisingly, you can't beat completing a 720 kick flip to indie nose bone with a guy that probably has no more than 1000 poly's on his body. ^_^

Mudokon_Master · #4 08-14-2011, 03:08 AM

Yay! I can almost varial kickflip

But I have major wheelbite and have a huge fear of my board snapping on me too.

STM · #5 08-14-2011, 03:33 AM

Boards don't usually snap man, it's just my one wasn't very good, nowadays they are built with grinding more in mind, if you're getting wheelbite you need to change your bushings but make sure you keep them loose so you can manoeuvre better.

Bitch, I've seen shit riding my scooter that you can't even fathom on your safe little skatey-board. I only have two wheels, you have four, if one of mine blows out, Im a dead man. You just be riding a tricycle if one of yours blows out, which it wouldn't, since skateboreds aren't extremem enough for that to happen. One time I saw a man achieve 88 MPH on a scooter, his name was George "motherufuckin" Washington and he was the first president of the US of A. Call me when you guys move past Tony Hawk and Deadmouse5.

Peace.

The average age of a scooter user: http://kidsscooter.org/images/kids-scooter.jpg grow the fuck up and do a man's sport.

I like to call people like you 'scooter rooter'.

I don't understand a fucking word of these posts.

Typical skater, thinking a picture is a number

Do I think skaters are cool? No, I don't. Do I think they're extreme? No, I don't. There's only one sport that is cooler than all other sports combined.

STM · #12 08-14-2011, 04:10 AM

I wanted to do parkour and free running but alas I'm too pussy.

Ridg3 · #13 08-14-2011, 04:15 AM

Parkour and freerunning?

They're the one sport.

STM · #14 08-14-2011, 05:37 AM

No.

:

Wikipedia: Parkour is often mistaken for "Freerunning". They are often used interchangeably even though these terms refer to distinct disciplines. Comparatively, the aim of Parkour is to enable the practitioner to move quickly and efficiently past obstacles, while Freerunning employs creativity through the use of tricking moves such as aerial rotations and spins

Ridg3 · #15 08-14-2011, 05:56 AM

Click on the 'see more' bit of that article. They are the same sport and even though they say that there is very little differences between the two, I fail to see any differences. To me it's one fluid, unencumbered motion to get from A to B.

STM · #16 08-14-2011, 06:55 AM

I think the differences are minor but are nevertheless there, parkour is more about stunts while free running is just to get somewhere as simply as is possible.

Ridg3 · #17 08-14-2011, 06:57 AM

Other way around I think you mean.

Dynamithix · #18 08-14-2011, 07:01 AM

So... you only skateboard to look 'cool' for your friends? What a nice sport.

I dislike skateboarding, every time I walk to school, there's a bunch of skating fags on the way who keep screwing up the 'tricks' and they just fall down and yell 'fuck fuck oh shit broke my leg fuck' and the next 10 seconds he's up and yelling 'bro look at this look at this fuckin sick man'.

Can you be anymore dumber?

Crashpunk · #19 08-14-2011, 07:23 AM

I don't tend to think about them. If i see a good skater I'm kinda impressed with the tricks.

Parkour is more impressive to me.

JennyGenesis · #20 08-14-2011, 07:26 AM

I used to have a skateboard, it was given to me by a friend because he got a new one even though I had no interest in skateboarding. I did quite frequently use it as a means of transportation. I wasen't into performing tricks.

Dixanadu · #21 08-14-2011, 11:33 AM

I used to like laying on a skateboard then throwing myself down steep hills.

I stopped when I realised plummeting into the side of the road at high speeds is quite hazardous to one's health.

Ridg3 · #22 08-14-2011, 11:37 AM

The more brave of us would stand up on the board.

STM · #23 08-14-2011, 11:52 AM

I did that then went up another hill, came off and bent my back backwards. I couldn't breath for about a minute which was quite scary.

Laser · #24 08-14-2011, 02:48 PM

The only time I ever thought about skaters is when I think..."Thank God I am not a skater, those guys are fuckwits"

Bullet Magnet · #25 08-14-2011, 02:57 PM

I'm with Nate. This isn't on my radar.

I still felt the need to log in and say that though.

Mudokon_Master · #26 08-14-2011, 10:56 PM

I got into parkouring for a bit, even though I sucked at it. Me and my friends basically just ran around the school like retards jumping over and climbing anything we could.
We got quite a lot of stares from the other students.
Apparently I was quite good at it out of my friend. But I just realized how fucking stupid it all was, I mean, running around a school jumping over shit just seemed a bit plain.
That's when I got into skating.

Ridg3 · #27 08-15-2011, 12:10 PM

Were you parkouring in school to get to a designated location? If not, that's why it was boring. Parkour is >9000x better than skating.

Jordan · #28 08-15-2011, 12:13 PM

My cousin had a couple of skateboards once. We were always too pussy to ride it standing up, but we had shit loads of fun sitting on it and rolling down a big ass hill.

^ this, If I could be as good as Tony Hawks or....the world's best parkourist, I;d be the parkour bloke.

Bullet Magnet · #30 08-15-2011, 02:14 PM

Parkour + martial arts + costume = real life superhero.
