Flights Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I was on holiday recently and I found myself admiring the Spanish architecture and wishing I still went skateboarding.So I've dug out my board and went for a cruise yesterday. Awesome fun.Can't do fuck all anymore but I can still ollie and roll about fairly confidently.Noticed there wasn't a thread here to discuss the fine sport so I decided to start one.Here's my favorite video. Reminds me of the glory days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Something i've always wanted to do. If you have a spare board and want to wath someone fall around Aberdeen give me a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Nice Andrew Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 My favourite video was The End. Birdhouse I think. Had the rad section with Heath Kirchart Jeremy Klein on fire skating to Under Presssure.I'd like to get back in skating with pals. Anyone live in dundee?

Dakota Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Is that Jim Morrison on that dude's board at the start? I've never thought of spray painting the grip tape on mine.Anyway, no idea why this thread hasn't been started before. For some odd reason I could never ollie high enough, but was able to boneless 180 so would use that to jump over stuff at times. Kind of a faff... I should just learn to ollie.Haven't had a decent skate in a very long time - bit rusty, but would love to soon. A lot of people I used to skate with fucked off to uni and whatnot a while ago and I never bothered going back to Transition since, though have been to Westburn Park and a couple of other shitty ones and bumpy concrete isn't as fun. I'll gladly go with anyone who's up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a skateboarding craze in the 80s, and in the 90s, and in the 00s. It'll come back. I tried during all three of them but a total lack of natural balance and being a total pussy who's scared of hurting himself meant I could never really do much except trundle around looking wobbly.

Flights Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Anyone been to the Kemnay Skatepark recently? I was there a couple of summers ago and had a right blast. I've heard good things about Old Meldrums park as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Anyone know of any decent sites where they review skateboard shit? I've been looking at new wheels, but feedback generally seems to be sparse or provided by complete cretins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
