but when we first started, just as civilization exited the stone-age… we didn’t have skateboards… we took our sisters metal roller-skates apart and nailed the wheels to 2 x 4s… It was really fcuking kool to watch those metal wheels spark!
I shit you not… I have head trauma scars to prove it
Nothing wrong with that bud.
Just saying until you’re ready it’s a no.
Like.
If I asked @AlanZhou if he lost his virginity yet.
It’d be “no” not “not yet” regardless of how hard he’s trying.
Yes, I guess… @yelnats8j can tell you about my attempts of downhill over the past summer… I learned to slide toeside and heelside going like 10mph.
Got up to 33mph on my analog before the hill ended and I rode up the other side
I can sorta popsicle deck skate though, 50-50 in a half pipe, 5 stair Ollie’s (I ain’t doin that again lol), and pop shuv’s which I learned for a day and then forgot how to do them
Used to bomb hills on my regular trick skateboard but I haven’t done that in a few decades.
I have drifted my Trampa to a stop from top speed but this was more luck than skill.
I still analog skate though from time to time but I don’t have an analog longboard.
Downhill skating is easy. Stopping without using my face, hands, ass, dick etc is the problem. Attempted a few times in my youth when I attended an event with a friend. Glad there was a soft barrier.
