Who Skates?

Ohh nice topic!!! I also skated for a long time when I was a teenager, my boards were Cliché (an European brand) and off course Zero, I still have my last which got me to a big trauma and stopped my career
. Nofx, bad religion or Satanic Surfers in my ears, that's all I needed that time.

@RobeOfTheMagi I've seen so many Andy Anderson videos. I've always been super impressed with his skill but so much more with his pure love of skateboarding. I mean, he was having a blast doing a stall in a hole in the ground haha. But that vid you shared really show cased his persona so well. He's a really unique skater and one I grow to appreciate more all the time.

@TENDREL Hell yea! I enjoyed this one.
Crazy how loose dude skates his trucks!! Reminds me of my buddy back in the day. He used to cut his bushings in half so the hangers of his trucks just flopped around. -
@Mizmazzle Oh yeah Daewon style! I like em loose but cutting the bushings down is wild.

My oldest son has gotten into skating recently. Started with inline skating after watching the movie Brink, and has slowly started morphing into skateboarding. I found a neighbor locally who gave us a free deck and a free longboard. We got some free used spitfire wheels from our local skateshop and bought some independent trucks. He is loving it! I've been getting back into it with him and riding the longboard. I used to ride all the hills 20-25 years ago, so it's been fun feeling young again.

Every young lad that chooses a board over a scooter deserves a warm hug.

Has anyone got personal experience with the Comet Cruiser?

Been skating since I was 14, so almost 30 yrs. Used to manage an indoor skate park/shop back in Vermont and worked at a skate company when first moved to SF in 2008. Dont get out as much as I used to but still get down here and there. Live close to waller, and everything in SF is a skate spot. Haven’t skated that much since March of this year. Broke my arm, didn’t heal right/or at all. Got surgery end of July, and my Arm been so much better, post surgey. Could feel my bone move and hear it grind before surgery it sucked. Like 2 weeks after surgery, I was skating flat ground after work, trying take it easy. Ate shit and almost fucked up my 6 screws/arm all over again. Thankfully I was alright took slam on knee and elbow, but Was a wake up call. I was bombing into work, and that could’ve been way worse hit a rock, car etc. Since then just been walking in to work, so not tempted to skate. Till my arm is back to
. I’ll be back though, itching -
@TENDREL rad video, thanks for sharing. I remember the first time I saw Wallenberg. I had moved from the UK to SF for college and just happened to be staring out the bus window….i lost my mind and immediately got out. It was surreal to be a place that I had seen on videos/mags. Special place. I wonder if they’ll do a video on Hubba Hideout
