Skateboarding: Kick Push and Fall

Anybody ever rode a Baker or Flip deck?

dude this site is awesome. they have the girl mouse vid. i used to love watching it. great link.

i heard royals are pretty good. I got some left over xmas money and was thinking of picking up some of the indy koston trucks or royals.

Yeah Royals do seem like damn nice Trucks

I’ve owned both, but Baker is my deck of choice. They are under the same distrabution though so it’s whatever. Baker just has cool style and the best team ever. Yeah that’s right, screw Plan B.

Royals are very light and perform well, but they are also broke the kingpin in half when I owned them.

Baker and Flip are made by in the same factory :rofl:

Anyway I guess I’ll have to check the Baker team out

Along with Birdhouse lol. But I wouldn’t be suprised if Baker starts up their own thing eventually Jamie Thomas style.

Does anybody skate on Birdhouse decks or will I be laughed out of the Skatepark?

If someone laughed at you because you were riding a Birdhouse deck they are retarded. If you showed up with head to toe tony hawk gear including a ‘Hawk’ T-shirt, you might get a giggle though.

thats more like it.

as posted above I also like bakers.
anybody like me think that shorty’s decks suck ass?

I’m with you there, but Muska is still too sweet even though he left.

I might giggle a little bit as well at somebody with all Tony Hawk gear,but hey at the least they are supporting the industry so I guess I would have to respect that.Just a little bit though

Anyway about Nollies.They look strange as hell.Is it possible to get the same amount of air on a nollie as an ollie?

hell yeah, I want a glove like him.

yeah from what ive seen. my nollies arent that strong but get the job done.

Glad that you enjoyed it. :lovin:

Bakers and Flip are awesome. Baker has awesome pop and good durability. Flip have a nice feel to it but they are a little too week. I had a brand new PJ ladd deck and my friend snap it with a backside flip. lol

Birdhouse boards are the shit. I had a Willy Santos one, and literally it’s one of the best boards I’ve ever had. There is no shame in skating Birdhouse boards.

Today I ollied this drop and fuck…the impact hurt my knees lol all cheap

that stuff always kills my ankles :frowning:

That sucks, do ankle exercises. Maybe it might help.

oh good Idea.

anyone practice indoors? I have some of those soft trucks so I can practice flips on carpet

Soft trucks?

What kind of material are they?

like this plastic rubber stuff this

Nah I don’t skate indoors. Are they worth buying?

The skateshop in my hometown had a board with softrucks, but IMO learning any trick stationary is useless. When you try to do it at a stylish speed it will not feel the same at all.

about nollies, it’s possible. I can get them 75% as high as my ollie but I can’t do any nollie tricks except shuvits. Nothing will get you more rep at a park than doing a nollie flip or nollie heel, but it’s just incredibly unnatural feeling to me.
