I USED TO... i even got in the local paper

but i dont have any time for it anymore..

and i kinda lost motivation for it..

ill sell ya my old skateboard.. its an element with indies and speed metal bearings and some point blank wheels i think..

 

[Big Willy]

yeah i use to; i wasnt any good at it; but i got in the manly daily for it aswell ahhahah
i got reds bearing; venture trucks, point blank wheels also

now i just use it to skate from uni/trainstation to work(which is in darling harobour); the best thing i ever did was a drop in - fuck... how much balls does that need

 

[truly-in-bliss]

i used to as well.... skated for abt 2 yrs.... then i moved skool.. and sorta didnt pick it up again cuz the road surface was shiate...

I have an element board too, sun.
The guy at the shop kinda threw it all together for me so I cant remember what wheels or bearings he stuck on but it cost me +$300.
I can't skate anymore tho cause I stuffed up my knee which is still repairing. We have a good skate park in our city now, pitty I cant skate there.
If anyone wants to buy my board they are more than welcome to.

I have a tiny skateboard and I use this to learn the basic 'going forward', 'going downhill' and 'turning'. If anyone is reading, how long did it take you to start venturing into the more fancy stuff?

I want to buy a new skateboard (my one requires lots of effort to move which makes going downhill pretty scary)... but 300 bucks sounds way out of my price range! I'm thinking 50 bucks max! You guys AND gals sound like pros.

Anyway. I'm sure this was an interesting read.

I used to skate a few years ago. Some of the tricks I could do include:
