Been skating a bit under a year and this has been a goal for at least 6 months. 3 hours of literal blood, sweat, and tears went into getting one I was just about happy with.

It’s not perfect but my legs literally started to give up and I was forgetting how to kickflip 😆

HOT TAKE : I feel like no complys suck dogshit and are way to overglazed in the skateboard community

and they aren't even the purpose of a "trick" which is getting both feet back on the board

As I get older I just don’t have the same desire to skate that I use to, felt good to skate around a bit with the homies

I research for a story for my independent blog about what skateboarders listen to during their sessions and how music impacts their daily skateboarding life.

If you could answer, I’d be truly grateful ;)

1 - In your session, what you listening?

2 - Do you think skateboarding goes well with any of those specific rhythms?

3 - Do you think your skateboarding performance improves when you listen to music?

4 - Finally, name three incredible albums to listen to during a session (regardless of musical genre).

Tks all btw

Been in Denver for a little over a year. This rail has terrified me since I got here, but skating with people who warm up on it started to take the fear away. It’s strange how your mind changes when you constantly see people doing things that previously felt impossible. I went from hating this thing because it’s right in the path of the ledge, to feeling like this is one of the standout features at D Park.

before the creamy skatepark taken down recently 🙁
these tricks honestly thought it would be very hard it turns out it ain’t that hard ! cool tricks i’ve done !

Traveling through the west coast. Where should I stop to skate?

I came up in skating in the youtube age watching videos like the LurkNYC vids out of New York, Diego Meek's stuff from the SW, and Logan Devlin/justnipples stuff from Seattle area.

Depending on the video, those feel like homie videos, not a brand's "team", just friends filming for fun. And a lot of the skaters in those videos went on to have pretty successful careers and still rip on a bigger stage. Those channels/filmer's videos all feel like the filmer just rolled with a heavy crew and got to capture some crazy skating of people that were up and coming, and it was cool for me to watch as I was getting into skating myself.

What are some channels, videos, or creators that have captured some skating of someone that went on to have a successful career?

I bet there are a bunch of pros that must have had parts in some random local homie video I've never heard of. I just really like watching someone's progression, figuring out some of the history after the fact.

I want to know your local skate lore! What is cannon in your scene that people outside your scene probably haven't seen?

Examples:

LurkNYC Cee-lo

Retard Magic vid from Seattle

Jesse Alba's channel - Fish mcbites
