It’s not new but yeah i’ve seen it, dope ass video.
Today was an amaaazing day for skating. Got some switch bs pop shoves down, almost a switch fs pop shove. it’s been a good week for skating…
My volleys were getting torn to shreds so on Friday I bought myself a pair of these

Went to a couple of parks today, had great fun, and might go skating later tonight.
At one park I saw someone do kickflips and 180s down an 8 stair. Then he put this cabinet thing on the steps and did a 5-0 on it while his friend filmed… Was toooo good.
For what it’s worth, I’m really terrible at Madden.
when this park is complete (people say mid February) I am going to work on my transition game.
I cant wait really, I can count on one hand the times I’ve been in a bowl and I can count with two hands the times I’ve skated a half pipe 
.
I want to look gangsta though, like Chet Childress or Dan Drebohl rather than a cornball like Andy McDonald lol.
Haha, Andy McDonald. He is seriously one of the nicest dudes I’ve ever met. At the same time, it’s almost EERIE how PC that guy is. He is so talented it’s crazy. Did you know that dude has his own line of professional POGO STICKS? He’s also pro at juggling and a master trampolinist. He met the president at an anti-drug event. He doesn’t have lack of style though. He has lots of it. It’s video game style. His tricks look the same every time he does them. lol. I probably wouldn’t hang out with him though.
You should learn to skate vert. Scary as fuck at first, but the most fun you will have learning something new. At least that’s how it was for me. Once you learn how to fall, It’s way less scary than learning handrails.
Yeah dropping in the first time is the best experience I had skating, next to landing a kickflip
i suck at it too. i suck at “black sports” lol. not really suck i just dont practice anymore…i blame asthma…if i didnt have it i’d be an ill 3 point shooter…instead i did martial arts and bmx and skateboarding lawl.
Hah! I have asthma too. I used to try to run in gym, never worked for me. Skateboarding is always just the right amount of cardio to keep me from dying. I think there is some kind of adrenaline to cardio ratio at work or something. Asthma sucks though. I hate it.
Are you Black? 
funny thing…ddr helped my asthma as a kid. i’ve been seriously slacking on cardio and played ddr for a bit at the movies the other day and it was kicking my asthmas ass…i was like shit i need to get back on my shit.

yeah Dyrdek must watch Tim and Eric
Mini ramps are so fun to skate its not even funny.
Man I can’t drop-in.
My ollies are almost there, but goddamn dropping in is an experience.
I might need to pop some Vicodin or something. I tried dropping in a couple days ago, and it ended up essentially sidelining me for the entire day. My back leg basically bent all the way behind my body, and I slammed on my big toe. Shit hurt bad.
I know you are supposed to keep going forward, but that’s easier said than done haha
dont worry man. no one ever gets dropping in the first try, trust me. its all about practice and finding your balance. everybody can just say “lean in” and " just stomp your foot on there" but its really all practice
Man what a cool thread I’ve been skating for over 16 years now I even have a son who’s been skating for over 3 years so this is where my heart lies so props to everybody in this thread for real.
nice. got any vids of ur son? he just skate for fun…or compete?
Right, right.
I think I can do it. Just need more practice and a little bit of “confidence” 
Just pump the tranny to get a feel for it. you gotta really familiarize yourself with transition before dropping right in. But once you can handle riding off a curb or going around the corner of a bowl or whatever, dropping in should become much easier. Just don’t think about it too much. Trust me. if it takes you more than a few seconds at the coping to decide to commit, go do something else for a while. psyching yourself out is the worst thing you can do.
Ugh…I’m back here in college now. It’s going to suck since I don’t think I’m going to have to time film for a new video I want to make.
i’m so closed to getting the tre flip… omg it’s driving me insane.
Scoop, flip, land… scoop, flip, land…
