I've started skateboarding 10 years ago, nowadays I don't skate that much because I've broken my foot twice (and my elbow and head, but that doesn't restrict me) and there are so many things that I've been influenced by skateboarding. From the graphics in there, to the music in the videos, to the friends I've made, it's awesome.
Feel free to share the joy. | | Back to top |  |

Though she never touched me ha
Best job I ever had!
My only real claim to fame was getting to take the shortys team around boston when they were filming guilty. If you look close at sammys first trick BSKFTS you can spot me and I think I ended up in the thrasher that month at the same place. Fuck those were the days. Dudes LOOOOVE weed | | Back to top |  |

skateboarding almost ruined my life haha my ankles/knees are fucked. i still have scars from falling. i still skateboard from time to time. | | Back to top |  |

it's the main reason I can think of to continue living. to see where skateboarding will take me next. there is nothing better, or cooler.
skateboarding is even cooler than DMT, which is the best drug ever.
better than weed, sex, and shrooms and acid and food and everything else.

First video part that got me super stoked. Pappalardo rules:
It's been nearly 8 years for me. I still try to skate pretty much daily, even if I'm not as good as I used to be. Mostly just hit the skatepark, skate hips, boxes, flat bars, step up/euro gaps. This video part still gets me so stoked. Transworld videos have always been my favorite, on my old computer I had nearly all of their videos. Transworld Anthology and I.E. were the first videos I owned. Anthony Pappalardo is still one of my favorite skaters. His part in Fully Flared isn't as crazy as his previous parts but I love it, skates super fast, the music is bad brains. He's on converse now, which is pretty cool. He also helped to release a photo book about hardcore last year. Guy is fucking awesome. | | Back to top |  |

Dennis Bussenitz's diagonal part is the most impressive video part of this year to me. I have extremely sorry downloaded, haven't had a chance to watch anything for than the first 2 minutes. Shane Cross nosegrinds el toro 1st try which is amazing. But Dennis skates sooo fucking fast, and his switch 360 flips are amazing | | Back to top |  |

I've had this uncontrollable problem where everywhere I go no matter indoors or out , I can't help but look at objects or places and deem them skateable or not. I'll honestly sit there and elvaluate the sceneraio and the possibility of tricks I could lay down on said spot.
Exactly, exactly. When I'm walking with my girlfriend, she is like "why did you stop?" or "why are you looking there?!"

I've had some of the best times of my life being on my skateboard. There use to be a skatepark here called The PIT Skatepark, it's been out of business for a while now but that skatepark and the guys who worked there help me become the person I am today. I use to be there everyday, those were the best days, all that mattered then was skateboarding. I met some awesome friends there that helped motivate me to be a better skateboarder, they were "local heroes" that were super good, so it made me want to be better. Our crew filmed videos that people actually wanted to buy so we made some pretty goof money on those. Then I got a job at a skateshop here and that was the best job I ever had, just a super chill skateshop. I use to sit there watching skate videos all the time or I was outside skating a flat bar and the ledge. I lost that job for shopping at zumiez and not going to clean the outdoor skatepark everyday even when I didn't work, I didn't even know I had to considering the park was owned by the park district and not the skateshop, but oh well I kept on skateboarding until all my injuries caught up with me so I had to stop for a while but now I still skate whenever I can and I still watch skate videos all the time, the new flip video extremely sorry was amazing and theberrics.com is always entertaining posting new videos everyday.
Skateboarding will always be my first real love. Through sprains, breaks, and surgeries it is still always a good time. | | Back to top |  |
