Skateboarding

have people been repping dc street league??

I am a stairs man. A big stairs man.

What have I done... I miss my skateboard.

Same. Why I slowly strayed from it nearly 8 years back now, I will never know and my knees just dont feel the same either! Nevermind, lets have some fun on sunday.

Is there a forum sesh happening this saturday anywhere? I'm in London and want to skate with some people. Mile End, Cantelowes........Wherever!

Yeah bit of old skool Mike V. New Deal!

i normally discount mike v as a serious skater but there's no getting away from how good he was in 91/92. A bit of serious tech:

What a G.

Max - got your board back yet?

Nah man. I think I may be seeing my ma on my birthday too.

I'm in, but can we go somewhere during the day? A tennis court, basketball court, empty carpark etc or Mile End Skatepark has plenty of flat and also some metal curbs (guess my choice).

Can't really be doing with going to Sainsbury's at night, rather do something in the day...
Or I randomly found this place, it's a bit out, but will be totally empty I recon.

Got a flat bank there as well I think.
We could meet up in LimeHouse or somewhere and take a bike ride out :) Shouldn't take more than 15-20 mins.

Im confused now, which day we saying and where??

I must say, the more I look at those stupid fucking tags at the bottom of the page, the more angry I get. The same mentally as the cunts who gave me shit for skating back in my day. Go fuck yourselves if you dont like or cant skate.

1.42 on that slave skateboards vid...shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thrashing it so fucking fast

Ha, used to love "Jump off a building".

Sunday. The get-together is on Sunday...
Taking my board home tonight :)

Have a spare one for future endevours.

ah cool, where at?

we need a ghetto blaster playing some thrash, just to get us in the mood, incase someone feels like nailing a 20 set. Pref slayer.

If you can provide the ghetto blaster, I can provide the thrash. I knew there was a reason I kept all my old tapes

yeah where?

Come on people, one day to decide!
I think the car parks will only be available late, and I'd rather skate during the day. So Either Mile End Skatepark, that little one in the Isle of Dogs so we'd have a bit of a bike ride as well which should be fun or if anyone knows a bit of smooth flat we can dos around on.

Start your votes!

Mile End - 1

*I brought my board home today and have been watching loads of Kerry Getz/Kalis vids, so am well up for this! Also it's meant to be a wicked weekend for weather!!!

Somewhere undercover would be good as a backup, in case the weather is shit

There's no point in me skating a park right now, literally can't do that stuff anymore. I just want some flat land!!

Name a place and time folks

I don't know any flatland skatespots really. Haven't ever skated London.
Open to suggestions, lets get this sorted tonight eh!

I was thinking Mile End had enough flatland. There should be loads of it.
So how about the one in Isle of Dogs? Thats basically a load of flatland with a grind box in it.
Again, if anyone has any suggestions, go for it.

Anyone got some shit to sell?

I after a board to suit some big wide indy's I have. So probably some retro fishtail thing.

Also after some large softish wheels and some robust bearings.

Will be a cruising around board mostly.

I am sure you can get regular double kick deck way over 8 inches. I think my mate rides an 8.5, fucking surfboard!!

So whats the deal? Mile End, isle of dogs, neither?
