Skateboarding: Kick Push and Fall (read first post)
Word of advice
Im no expert at skating but I enjoy myself. You can find tiptricks virtually anywhere on the net. Skating is pretty much balance, timing and commitment. If you cant do a trick you are probably lacking one of those three.

I dunno, he wasn’t that famous back then, and I was 10. Not sure if anything exists on video, and if it does, it’s probably not as well-known as the stuff he puts out nowadays.
This was at my local skate park (Mt. Trashmore in Virginia Beach Va.) in the heyday of Gator Rogowski.

<3 Skateboarding. I can only do a fraction of the things I was able to do several years ago, but can’t beat the thrill.
Anyways, my setup:
Deck: Generic 7.75 Blank w/ Black Magic grip tape (never really a fan of brand boards)
Wheels: Toy Machine monsters 54mm
Trucks: Independent regulars (I hate riding on lows)
Bearings: Bones Reds (fuck paying $40+ dollars on Black Bones Swiss bearings; pretty much exactly the same for 1/2 the price)
Risers: some blue Habitat
Hardware: generic phillips hardware (again, no need for brand hardware)
Shoes: Usually some regular Vans or Circas
IMO kids should start skating again, it builds character and you get in shape. It’s much better to go out and get in trouble than to stay on myspace all day long. refreshes myspace to read new messages
Yeah I always forget that I hate skating during the summer because i am always sweating bullets. But a lot of skaters come from SoCal and shit, and it is a sport associated with the summer and hot weather. So what do yall niggas do to stay cool while yall skate?
Usually i skate school hallways that have overhangs. they tend to provide shade and good bench areas to hit up. Also there is the whole skate with lighter clothes, shorts and nice alleys where the heat doesnt bunch up.
Also you gotta have gatorade or some sort of beverage. all this talk about skating makes me want to go skate.
