How was your daily longboarding ride/s?

[fluke]

Skated around for a couple hours with our skate club crew and had a short meeting for a while to discuss more fund-raising ideas. We got our shirts tonight, black and green, they look rad. Anyway, it was fun. I took the Spliff this time and just carved around and played slalom around leaves in the parking lot for fun. Had a couple races around the block with some other guys who borrowed my buddy's slalom board and my other brothers' boards with large wheels; was kinda unfair, lol, I got tired of racing them though and wanted to carve around so I did that the rest of the time no matter how much they begged for a rematch. Let a kid ride my Spliff for a while.. naturally he eats it hard trying to make some turns and complains about my trucks. Later another guy wipes out on it too and gets road rash on his shoulder pretty good. They'll really hate it next week when I've got it even more loose and softer bushings in it.

Yesterday it was drizzling on and off throughout the day so I decided to get my gloves and go out and practice sliding. I'm such a wimp though, the closest I ever got to doing it was crouching down on my board and putting my hand down, I never actually tried to break my wheels. I was freakin' scared to death. Hopefully I'll get the courage to attempt it again (my first attempt at sliding ended up with me scraping half my elbow off) when I get some pads. I did get a few simple standups, though, and had my back wheels break out dozens of times, which was pretty fun.

Once, I was just cruising down the street and all of a sudden my board goes perpendicular to the direction I was riding. No idea how it happened, there weren't any puddles that I could see and I wasn't turning or anything. I made it out alive, though, I wasn't going too fast so I just ran it off. I got home, dried everything off (too lazy to use mineral spirits or whatever crud you're supposed to after a rain sesh) and sat down at the computer. It was fun.

Well my usual ride consists of longboarding down my hill to the local park were i can just go up and down around on the pathway with attempts of cross stepping haha and then a bit of DH bombing down small hills with all the neighbors staring at me and also there are alot of cars on the road so it can get crazy.
Then I continue to do loops around my estate and also attempt to slide out the back of the board with some solid pumping he he but usually don't get the sliding thing happening to well, maybe because i don't have sliding gloves, knee pads and elbow pads yet but planning to get them soon and make the gloves. Well this all takes about an hour and i try to do it everyday. It also is a great exercise.

Another ride i do when its hot and on the weekends, is longboard down to the beach and go for a swim and for a run and then back home which is great fun and all this time I listen to so great music as it increases that longboarding passion

So I was on the way to the mail service/office to pick up my Roggs Wannabe and I just rolled over a spot with wet leeves,
I fell. I hurt my knees but when I came to the mail office I looked at my iPhone. It was black!! Like in black screen. I'm lucky I have insurance

I just rode half way across town, back to campus to head over the the TV station to go to work here soon. GREAT ride. The leaves are a perfect orange and one of my favourite streets is just absolutely lined with awesome trees. Only a little bit of traffic on the blocks I chose to go down today and only had to play pedestrian slalom a couple times. I stopped before I shot around the corner to ADUC this time though so there was no way a cop would see me by waiting there around the corner. I wish they'd just allow it on my campus and I didn't have to sneak so much. Oh well, great ride! Weather is in the 70s!!!

I'll probably hit up Zone O parking lot or the skate park after work as usual - unless my friend doesn't feel like it today, then I'll probably just cruise around for a while on my own in town then drive my car back home.

BTW: these new Gavin model DVS shoes I got are fricken awesome. Not only are they super comfy and foot brake REALLY smooth - the girls LOVE them (they are purple) and I got a lot of attention from the ladies today about how hot I looked in purple. haha

Rode around streets on campus for a bit, then worked until about 7:15pm. After that my buddy and I went to the skate park to skate for a couple hours but they didn't have any lights on yet again (we are going to complain now, third week in a row). We decided not to skate it in the dark this time and skated the roads around the city park, parking lots, etc instead. We ended up having a blast and found this small hairpin turn down a little hill near the city pool. It's pretty sweet - nice and easy, but sharp. Is about 15-20 mph or so - which was plenty fun on the Spliff. The roads are nicely angled as well and you can cruise for a while just carving back and forth. It's a great spot. I had a raccoon run out in the road in front of me once tonight, LOL. We called it quits shortly after 9pm because we were getting tired of skating all over the city park and pushing back up the little hills. We had fun, as always.

[asf2j]

it was poo.

i think my pushing foot is stress fractured.
from the metatarsals all the way down to the toes. as soon as i bend my toes, the pain is nuts.
i didnt twist it/get it crushed/have any serious trauma happen to my right foot. it just sort of hurt one day about a week ago. i ignored it, kept skating to class on it (what? did you expect me to wake up 15 minutes earlier so i could "walk" to class?).

and now, i think i'm paying the price.

I can do those awesome alex limbauch cross steps now. : )

Wednesdays are turning into a regular Mission Bay skate run. I've been by riding myself a few weeks. Last week I had three other fishies join me. Yesterday we had a group of eight skaters. If anyone in the San Diego area is interested in join us we start at 4pm on Wednesdays at the Visitor's Center off East Mission Bay Dr. It's a fun run, not a downhill speed course. There are no big hills, but it's not flat either. Plus, sunsets at the bay are beautiful. We're skating about five miles. There's lots of pedestrian slalom, strollers, bikers and rollerbladers to keep things interesting. Skaters of all levels are welcome. PM me for more details.

Shortboarders are gay, no ###### respect. Came by me on their car and threw a bottle at me and flipped me off.

I had a good day skating. Skated around in various parking lots in Mt. Sterling for a while this morning and afternoon. Later this evening I went to our skate club's meeting and skated there for the rest of the day. Skatewave was there discussing skate park plans and ideas, etc. and had some item tossing going on (which was cool). Everyone had a lot of fun except for the few who fell skitching... oo; yeah.. that was dumb, and I was inside when it happened otherwise I would have stopped them. They just had a couple scrapes, so it was a relatively light way to learn their lesson.

i feel ya, last night, past a group of guys, one of them decided to yell out, "ride a shortboard, Faggot"

i just kinda looked over my shoulder, chuckled to myself a little bit, kept cruising, and enjoyed myself and my board that much more
whole time i was thinking, just a different discipline dude, just a different discipline. made my day so mellow. mellow cross steps, mellow carves. very chill

[fluke]

I stood on my Spliff in the living room until I got finished adjusting things then looked at the weather report and almost cried.

[jb_]

wow, that is bad. looks f*cking cold too.

[fluke]

Brrr... yeah.. we skated tonight.. it was kinda cold. Lots of running noses and ear aches. Well worth it though. We enjoyed our (likely) only good day of skating this week before all the wet. We took a lot of photos / video of us messing around at the elementary school and church parking lots. Nice weather today other than the cold and clouds. I re-bruised my left hand and twisted my wrist yet again tumbling down off the nose of my pin-tail once tonight. It didn't end my evening though and I kept skating until we had to leave to come home for dinner.

Cruised home from work tonight, mostly uphill but it is just as quick as taking public transit plus I'm burnin calories, getting to know my board and saving money from tokens. Oh and it is actually fun. Gonna go out in a bit to skate around town. Weather is looking good for commutin this week, just a bit cold around 52F. Rain Thursday.

Had a sick sesh today, we found a good road against the mountain side and raced it for two hours. the run in itself was about 45 seconds, but it takes another 10 mins per time to walk back up. all in all a good day
