Skateboarding Appreciation Thread

[McNasty]

Ill keep it simple post your memories, existing stories, favorite parts, tricks etc!

One of my all time favorites is Modus Operandi by Transworld

Mike Carroll is the fucking man and Kurupt-Trylogy sets the tempo for this amazing part:

Another favorite of mine is by Creature skateboards and features David Gravette a hometown hero.

I know im missing a lot of my favorite parts I'll add more as they come to me but this guy is sick!

Other videos to see:
Stereo skateboards-A visual sound(underrated more art than tricks)
Toy Machine-Welcome to hell
Alien Workshop-Photosynthesis
Flip-Really sorry
Girl-Yeah right
Zero-Strange world(early Jamie Thomas is incredible)
Lakai- Fully flared
Baker-Baker 2G
Black Label-Label Kills
Almost-Round 1,2,3 and Cheese and Crackers


My best trick ever was a kickflip BS tailslide on a small ledge for about 4 feet. Im a skateboard scrub

My favorite tricks would have to include: Nollie crook, big-spin FS boardslide, Laserflip, BIIIIG hardflips or ghetto birds, inward heels, anything involving inverted bluntslides.

I haven't skated in like 4 years lol. I wasn't that good but it was a ton of fun and relaxing. I broke my arm once and sprained my ankle really bad trying to crooked a 6 set. Good times
These were a couple of my favorite guys to watch

Jamal Smith (mini ramps ftw)

Stefan Janoski

In all seriousness though, this guy is the best that ever did it

Round 1 Rodney Mullen vs Daewon Song is ridiculous! I agree rob one of the greatest of all time.

EDIT:One word Darkslide.

Used to skate a little when I was younger, but now I enjoy watching Tony Hawk and the newer guys coming up now. I still consider him the God of skateboarding!

Skateboarding was my life from middle school through college. Its awesome to see other TYM guys that love skating! And that Mike Carroll part from Modus Operandi was one of my all time favs.

Nice vids man, I would never try that without a cup. Did you ever do roller blade tricks to or just skateboard? With rails, grinds etc
