What makes YOU mad when you longboard?

[Sk8Guy31]

Practicing a new trick and realize that I've perfected not landing it.

I knw exactaly what you mean there.

Skating in the dark and accidentaly clipping the corner of a curb cos you thought you would miss it and eatig sh** on the floor. I messed up my hip for ages.

-Pebble skid
-"That's a big skateboard"
-Dirty looks
-Rentacops
-People honking their horns when I look back and it's obvious I notice them
-People not passing me when I give them room and signal
-Peds who stay in their own world when I try to catch their attention with footbraking loudly

None of these really make me mad, just bother me temporarily.

Just today i was offered 20 bucks to "jump over a fence" on my longboard.

Yeah, that's not an unreasonable request.

[dozer jr]

Yeah... I next time, I'm gonna bust a shutdown slide and let them hit me. I'll sew and buy all SF members new wheels...

i like how you think

[lfatboy]

Wheelbite. It's one thing when your skateboard tells you that you're not allowed to carve hard down the street without eating ####...

I'm getting myself a sander. Risers suck!!!11

why would someone saying "that's a big skateboard" bother you?
it is a big skateboard..

[-Mu-]

People that blow their horns as they pass
People that yell #### while they pass
people that throw #### at me as they pass
People that blatantly see me, and make no effort to move so I can get by.

Yeah that one did seem a little out of place lol, but I do get it a little much

[Eldu]

Pedestrians that jump all around the sidewalk/cycle path like tennis balls. If you can't walk straight line you should stay at home.

and a little tip with pedestrians
clapping usually gets their attention better
footbraking can be very hard to hear
especially if they're having a conversation

It's usually just one at a time, but thanks for the tip.

Can't be fun.

When i say "excuse me" and people turn around look at me and don't move, then once i get closer i say it again, still same response. So i get off my board and go around them just to get either glared at or yelled at. Happens every couple days or so.
the stereotype that skaters are assholes is wrong, the public is generally the asshole.
