Go Skateboarding

**Darmstro** · 6-20-08, 21:42

Tomorrow, June 21st, is Go Skateboarding Day. If you skate/used to skate/have a skateboard/can find a skateboard, GO SKATE!

I'll be wrapping my foot up and heading to the skatepark. I'll be limited to just riding because of my foot, but it'll be fun.

I have aboard thats been sitting by my front door for 7 years and used twice as something other then a place to put my boots.

I may just go out. My knees will be mad at me.

Do eeet. I'm just going for a ride, nothing crazy.

I would go skate on the half pipe in the back yard but its torn apart now

If i were to try and drop in now this is what it would be like Skater Kid Drops In

If you really want to get involved, check and see if there's any events in your area. A lot of events are raising money for various charities.

Go Skateboarding Day on June 21 2008 skateboarders are celebrating the spirit of skateboarding through fundraisers, contests, protests and much more.

I can still do some basic flip tricks like kickflips, heel flips, varials, etc, but there's some things that make me cringe thinking about attempting them. I value my testacles much more now that I'm older. I'd love to have a mini ramp to fool around on. I haven't dropped in on anything in years.

**guitardude1568** · 6-21-08, 23:18

it had been probably over a year since i had dropped in, but i did it fine my first time surprisingly. I was never any good at skating though. The only cool thing i could do was a double kickflip.

**jewels318** · 6-21-08, 23:37

hmm..

weird, instead of actually skating today, i bought a new longboard.

i got a brand new pocket pistol hill killer with abec gumballs, abec fast tracks bearings, and tracker darts trucks..
wooo!!

my rootamental looked puny compared to it.

	It's a well-known survival tip that you should always carry around a length of ethernet or fibre cable when traveling in wilderness areas. If you get hopelessly lost, bury it. Then you can ask the backhoe operator for directions when he cuts through it. '91 Miata: Turbo.
