I'd learn so much faster with someone to learn from. I'm not that good and don't want to sound like I am, but I do wanna get better

come to hton.

I plan on it. Its not so much CAN I as when and how

nickym · 08-17-2009, 11:34 PM

I am bored out of my mind right now. I'd love to go riding with some people this week or next.

EDIT - just skate to the PJ train then take it to Huntington, boom. :P

PurrCrabs · 08-17-2009, 11:48 PM

Yeah the train is the most likely option, its pretty cheap too, maybe I can get my mom to pay for it (low on funds after buying wheels and gloves, and want to get a cheap full-face if I can)

It might even be possible for me to get out there this weekend, or next week

I don't own gloves. I just go for each hill I find and try to ride everything out - when it's possible, heh. Just gotta have confidence homie. :P

Stay out of Port Jeff, 50yds past the town line the town constable threatened to give my friend and I court summonses (that would result in a $150fine)
I hate the constables... so much
If anyone wants a full story or why I hate the constables and they are useless, PM me

nickym · 08-21-2009, 02:06 AM

I went out yesterday morning at 5am. Was fun as hell. Bombed a few hills and passed a speed trap that got me going 37mph...I think those are accurate? o.O

Early morning skating = win.

PurrCrabs · 08-21-2009, 08:24 PM

Nice, if you stay out of the main areas, or go really early it should be good. I don't have the balls to not foot-brake the hills down there though, most of them don't even have any run-offs
I have one hill I really want to work my way up to doing, its get a huge steep left hairpin right at the top, gets you to 20 or so by the ime you're done turning, would be sweet to push into it and drift it
Just keep in mind its illegal anywhere in town, on any property you do not own, and you could have to go to court and get fined for it.

nickym · 08-21-2009, 08:37 PM

The threat of police has never stopped me before.

PurrCrabs · 08-21-2009, 10:11 PM

Just figured I ought to give you the warning that the constables will do anything to meet quota

Haha. My buddies dad was a cop his whole life in Suffolk county and he never had a quota he needed to meet. That whole quota thing is a myth.

PurrCrabs · 08-22-2009, 01:49 AM

With constables, they're useless if they don't make money for the town (from fines)
My dad was NYPD for 21years, lucky I can deal with "the man"
(and I fight and shoot like a cop)

BAUER · 08-22-2009, 10:20 AM

come skate with me, you will get better.

the rudeboy · 08-22-2009, 08:26 PM

hes not kidding

PurrCrabs · 08-22-2009, 10:30 PM

Hah, soon man, I'm gonna try for next weekend if I'm free, and you can. I'm often busy on weekends though. Need to check train prices, or ask for a ride out though, and saving my cash for a new deck, and for the bomb
I look forward to the learning
