southernjim Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Just bought a new deck, it's a Phantom. Pretty psyched to get back out after not even touching one in about 2 years. Anyone got any cool stories, pics, trick tips they wanna share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadu93 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I've attempted getting on a board maybe two times in my life, and I miserably failed both times. I'm still somewhat interested in it, but it's more like a very, very casual spectator's view. I did watch the X-Games with a bit more interest this summer. It's pretty much too late now to learn, and I kind of wish I had gotten interested in skateboarding when I was younger. edit: glad to see you back, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidSteel Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I love to skate. Cant do the cool tricks like my 13 year old son, but we have a few new skate parks around town we like to visit. He feels like a tool cause I make him wear a helmet. But then I wear a helmet too. I have an assortment of boards, just NEVER buy a wal-mart board. Cheap peices of crapp!

circumstantial tree Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Never skate boarded but I love roller skating and I've ice skated a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I came in late to skating during my mid-20s but I was determined to master the ollie if nothing else, as most tricks stemmed from it. Once I got them pretty high on the move and cruised around for a bit I thought I'd quit while I was ahead. Great way to work out during the summers hitting the schools...must've sweated buckets. Sold the pro-board off ages back so just a distant memory now I know a few TRFers skate as I started a similar thread. Keep-a-rollin then all the skaters here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy85 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Fell off a banana board in 1977... can't do it. Bones are more brittle when you're 43. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridertoo98 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Tried it a while back, could be fun I guess. Not for me,too many wheels on that thing. 2 is enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
