Skateboarding Megathread - #swagger

[._maxwell23461_.]

everytime someone mentions skateboarding Skateaton swarms the thread with stuff no one understands and just complains, Pablo has done a way better job of explaining it.

Anyway, tried a skateboard today, and I went really slow and like, fell off, I suck at it :c

I hate skateboarding cigarettes with their long hair.

My first day skateboarding i had to look down at the skateboard the entire time, so while i was riding and looking at the board i hit a car pulling out of the driveway. my face against the window i made eye contact with the driver and passenger while my board flew past under the car....i felt like an idiot</3. But now i am pretty good, planning to get a video of my tre flips :D

lakai is the stuff.

i've used this brand for almost 2 years, probably going to have to get some new shoes considering my growth spurt or whatever.

might as well show my board setup.

• spit fire shiners wheels.
  
• Shorty's Black Panther Bearings Ceramic
  
• Girl logo risers
  
• Venture Super Light Low Trucks
  
• Girl Olson Hipster Board Deck
  
  i didn't exactly get all of it from ccs, it's just the only website i know that has my setup.
  i got most of it from my local skate shop back in illinios.

Common/Cheap skateboarding shoe brands that work well, and you probably may have:
Vans
DC
Globe
Nike 6.0s and Nike SBs

those brands aren't that great, also you missed a heap of shoe brands, you missed etnies, lakai, adidas, supra, emerica, etc.
try again.
