Iām looking for these old photos from Del Mar where he was wearing these short pink shorts, they are hilarious.
Just find someone who likes you and is willing to pay you some money to get into a contest or put you in an ad, basically. Pro just means you get paid, there isnāt really an organized union or anything, no NBA or NFL. (I mean I think the XGames tried to do some thing where you could only skate in their contests or something, which was a mistake) I mean you could pretty much just say you are a pro, and there you are.
That last pic is crazy.
But yeah,I guess I gotta get my game up.I canāt wait until the summer comes
Fuck I miss the summer
[media=youtube]QXqyVrR60J8[/media] (Video a bunch of my friends and I made this summer skating the local park, good times)
Canāt skate in the cold so Iāve been sitting inside playing WoW and plan to do so the whole winter. :sad:
EDIT: Iām Cesar, 2nd guy in the vid.
nice that park looks cool.
Yeah that park is a blast to skate, scene is full of good/nice skaters.
Just watched Fully Flared Lakai video last week, BEST VIDEO EVERā¦Mike Mo > ALL
I found an indoor cement Skate park.
I wonder if anybody there would show me the ropes.
Did you actually buy that DVD?
oh shit. gotta get fully flared. I had given up on it thinking it was never coming out. Iām off to snag it now. some carroll and koston love aww shit.
It hurts reading this thread in the winter. NY ftl.
Chicago ftl
Is it just me or does CCS overprice everything? Is there any other online shop that has good prices and a good reputation?
haha ccs has always been overpriced. i used to just stare at the stuff in middle school cuz i never had the money to buy any of that. shit i think my first board i stole from a kid.
Lulz.
Did you ever return to that park
oh he left it at my house. when he realized it, i denied ever having itā¦lol. i got 2 boards in my basement and one in my room lol. oh wellll. ill probably give one away to sum sad looking kid.
heh, did the same thing. i gotta pick up my board again. unfortunately i canāt really skate until the snow goes away. last time i checked they closed down all the indoor parks here in omaha because some kid died and their parents tried suing or something. kind of sketchy on the details. canāt wait for spring though.
on a side note, is Chris Cole still around? he was my favorite skater growing up.
Any other black skaters on SRK besides me?
hmmm chris cole wiki:
lol you do know your on srk right? srk is like 90% blackā¦got dat skate push son?
hehe ^ my bad.
anyways heres my setup:
Black Label Deck (kyle leeper pro)
Green Griptape
Venture tic-tac trucks
Bones Reds
Orange Spitfire 32mm? wheels
Independent Hardware
Shortyās white deck with a playing card on it
generic stuff on it
Mob Grip
shoes DCās for now
and only skate good in skintight jeans,emo jeans or whatever yall call them.
i always tore DCs up in a matter of days. only things that have really lasted for me are circas. 100% with you on the emo jeans though. i got no flow with shorts or baggies.
