View Full Version : Share your day of skating
Andrew Jay 06-17-2008, 10:15 PM I searched for things similar to this but couldn't find anything related. And if theres a thread like this my b.
Basically just share how your day of skating was and what you did. Whether it may be that you just practiced kickflips in your driveway or you want to your local park. And if you don't care then why post? Just don't.
Also It'd be pretty cool if you guys would come back everyday to share with others.
Today i got about 2hrs of good skating today since i had work. I went with my friend downtown and went to ollie some stairs like 3 - 6 in dif spots. Got kicked out of most places but i did get to ollie the 3 stair woot yay me lol. And i attempted the 6 stair twice but got kicked out before i could stick it. Found a nice bench that we ollied onto and manualed. Lastly had fun at this nice gap that i kickfliped. Woot. All around it was a good day. And one of the spots that had a 4 and 5 stair the lady told us that the church is opening a skate park tomorrow from 1-3. Checked it out and it was ok, so were gonna hit that up tomorrow.
And you?
jakedaskater 06-17-2008, 10:40 PM went to a college

I didn't do too much today..
Pretty much just worked on my decent ollie and improved it a bit. I did also get a lot of time to get some nice manuals in too.
All in all it was basically another touch up/practise day for me.
heartagram695 06-17-2008, 10:53 PM i went to the skatepark with a couple of my friends. my goal for the day was to kickflip the 4 stair there. so i try it about 5 times and then i landed really funny on my foot and it starts hurting like a *****. so i just sat around the rest of the sesh. its good i did it toward the end of it though.
Andrew Jay 06-17-2008, 10:55 PM Haha jake i love the choice of song. ^^
Rode for 45 minutes in the blazing sun at the local skatepark. I was the only person skating, it was over 100 degrees. First time riding since last week, since I was camping in Sequoia for a long weekend. Rode fairly well considering, stuck most of my basics and a 360 flip. Couldn't get my impossibles to come around.
rc71193 06-18-2008, 11:27 AM Yesterday I stated at a high school. They have a nice pretty big sized 6 stair. All I could do was ollie it, came kinda close to a kickflip down it. Then I tried to ollie off a 9 ft. dugout. It hurt so bad when I hit the floor lol. It hurt my ankles really bad cause when I hit the ground I landed on my feet, but my knees went up to my face. And I lost my board about 2 feet down. Now I need to stick with it for 7 more feet -.-
cha-BANG 06-18-2008, 04:50 PM hmm well i kinda miffed up my foot by jumping over this massive bush with converse on (bad idea), and i just collapsed, i was trying to get some stuff on film after for a couple guys who wanted proof of a couple tricks, but i kept just collapsing cuz of my dang feet..i'm soakin' 'em right now cuz they kill, i cant even stand on my board atm..
btw i officially hate nightmare flips now lol ^^ used to do them cuz i thought it was cool, i could care less now. and i almost split my head open doing a varial heelflip, and i snapped a walmart board doing one, i landed right in the middle ha..
so i didn't skate much today..like 15 minutes, though it sounds like it, i didn't have a bad day at all really.. just not skating much, and just messed my foot up a bit, its already feelin' better
cowowine 06-18-2008, 04:59 PM Randomly tried to do a benihana and the tail of my board hit my ankle leaving a gigantic bruise. Not a very exciting day just trying to land a few tricks I've been working on.
Shadowskater 06-18-2008, 05:01 PM I just woke up like a hour go so I haven't skated yet and it's like 99 outside too. Later I will be seeing if my friend can come over. Will will probably go skate a ditch, try to get some kick/heelflips onto a manny pad, try some tricks off a small ledge/gap, then maybe play a game of skate before he leaves.
KrispyKicks 06-18-2008, 05:05 PM I skated the same old park again.
I landed 1 new line. Ollie on the box, then nollie bigspin off the box.
ZOMBIE 06-18-2008, 08:50 PM i made this thread... 2 days ago haha.
but i usually skate on fridays for 6am to 9pm, so ill post about that when it happens. but today i just did flat in my garage.
sk858619 06-18-2008, 09:13 PM today wasn't that good for me.
i didn't really feel like skating.
but im looking forward to skating a little later.
KrispyKicks 06-18-2008, 09:17 PM I almost landed my first hospital flip
Andrew Jay 06-18-2008, 10:17 PM I almost landed my first hospital flip
I landed a few a week ago it was sweettttttttttttt. Haven't really tried em since then.
ZOMBIE 06-18-2008, 11:45 PM I almost landed my first hospital flip
learn them fakie first, its easier imo
Geissler 06-19-2008, 09:08 AM I was hungover as hell this morning, didn't sleep too well so I thought I'd go to sants for a while to kill my blues.
Bad idea - after a night of partying my bones were aching and my joints fragile, heelflips were OK but I could barely jump to catch my kickflips! No dice with the varial kickflips either.. And after a no-comply trick smashed into my knee, I decided to tone down my tricks and just concentrate on ollies, pop shuvs and 180s, heh.
Tired after like 40 mins so I just went home and tended to my knee.
Lesson? Don't expect to skate normally if you're nursing a bad mutha hangover..
I've noticed that drinking the night before will always have a negative effect on my skateboarding. It's like my feet stay a little drunk long after I've sobered up.
Andrew Jay 06-20-2008, 11:44 PM How bout drinking while skating?
street skater 06-21-2008, 12:06 AM Uhh, Didn't get to skate today, it's freezing outside and the wind is very cold also.
aussiebomber 06-21-2008, 12:28 AM Nothing much today, just practiced my ollies in my empty garage, tried some shuv-its as well
SkateThrash 06-21-2008, 12:53 AM I don't understand how this thread already has 2 pages. Its 2 in the morning, the stories are supposed to be about your skating from the day. Go to bed people!! lol.
ForumSkater 06-25-2008, 02:09 AM Not much, played some kids S K A T E, did a pop shove it off a 1 and a half foot high ledge. Meh.. skated for 2 hours, just basically did my normal flat ground tricks, didn't try anything new.
fluke 06-25-2008, 06:20 PM I started off my day at the skatepark.... on my BMX bike :lol:.. rode that for a long time until I sprained my wrist when I was trying something new off a nice ramp and screwed the landing up (front wheel wasn't centered back properly after I brought the tail back around so.. THWOP!). Yeah. Ouch, but I kept riding for a while and stuck to smaller stuff for the last 15 minutes or so I was there after that. Soo... (getting to the skating part, honest) since my wrist can't grasp things very well right now I hopped back on the skateboard when I got over into town. Spent the rest of the time bombing a hill (looks like a huge half pipe, evenly steep ends and super smooth!) in the middle of town. Fuuuuuuuun. :D
RIP_BOB_GNARLY 06-25-2008, 07:16 PM Me and my friend played a couple games of skate with only one truck on my board. I landed a varial flip, varial double flip, double kickflip, and some other stuff that isn't important. I never thought it would be so fun playing a game of skate with only one truck on a board.
Arrived to park at 7:45pm. Sign in, put on helmet and pads, rode across flat, 50/50 attempt on quarter pipe missed and rode out on platform, turned around and boardslid the low rail, rode across the flat and did a boneless on the slope, back across the flat and rock and rolled the quarter, back across the flat and tried an ollie north on the slope, snapped deck. Fun over. Exit park at 7:52pm.
mc studda 06-25-2008, 11:13 PM did some pop shuv its and ollied 2 decks. usual routine. skated a elementry school yard yesterday. was very fun. tho i didnt land much and a cop came by and just chilled there and wouldnt leave. was arright
fallen23zero 06-26-2008, 07:50 PM ok so today it was raining til noon, and then BOOM and explosion of sunshine. i snatched my board and i leaped outside. i rode onto the driveway and popped my tricks steezily i felt untouchable. i worked on my hardflips, which i sucked balls at. as well as my inward heels which became a pain in the ass in the end all i had a chip chap day, because i double flipped my four set. i was estactic and elated
Fallenskater878 06-26-2008, 09:09 PM i ended up waking up at my friends house, skating to my middle school and ollie the long 5. I also landed alotta clean kickflips and other stuff, and when i got home, i landed a nice switch hospital flip...it was cool
Catchakadorian 06-28-2008, 06:38 PM My skateboarding day? Well, I walked outside to the parking lot by my apartment, and dropped the board into a truckstand, held it for a second and landed it.
Then it started pouring down rain and I went back inside.
RIP_BOB_GNARLY 06-28-2008, 07:32 PM Well, I got my kingpen back yesterday, but I didn't feel like skating then. I spent maybe 1 hour of time skating today. I have lost my kickflips, heelflips, varial flips, and 360 shuvits, so I am gonna have to work hard on them tomorrow.
skatee15x 06-28-2008, 08:51 PM went to a semi local skatepark which is about 2 towns next to mine. they just put in a new halfpipe so it was sooo sweeet. i also hit up the street section of the park. then some rent-a-cop came and told us to leave so we told him to **** off and we left. we came back into the park about 10 minutes later after seshing a small ass 3 stair. we skated some more until the same rent-a-cop came up to us and threatened to call the police....
still had a great day though it was sunny as hell and the skating was good
fallen23zero 06-28-2008, 08:57 PM i sucked it up big time...couldn land anything
andius 06-29-2008, 03:44 PM Ledge day for me, found this nice ass ledge thats about two decks tall at the start and continues straight while the ground slopes away so its like 3.5 decks near the end. Had a ton of fun just trying out a bunch of grinds to grinds and trying to do some tricks out(front shuvs, some big spins..but those are crazily hard). Skated it for a couple hours and went to some manny pads across the street. I had hurt my groin muscle a bit earlier on the ledge but it wasnt too bad at this point, just felt a bit tired and sore. Later on I was chilling in this parking garage skating this ledge/angled manny pad thing but just messing around cause i was tired. I popped an ollie up the ledge and noticed my groin was getting pretty sore by this point, so im just cruising the garage waiting for some other friends and my groin just starts killing after a half cab. I stopped skating but it just kept hurting more and more throughout the night and today its hard to walk even. Pulled groin means im out of skating for at least a week, im bummed. Especially since I just bought a new deck.
ZephyrGod 06-29-2008, 04:15 PM Pretty good for me. Didn't really land any new **** but hey you don't need to to have a good time.
Got annoyed because i lost my hubba grinding skillz and threw my board. Landed it a few tries later. Got my Rock'n'Rolls well and truly down today as well as my Pivot to Rock fakies and Pivot Rock'n'Rolls. Practiced my Tres and landed all of the ones i tried. Also got my Switch Flips a lot nicer. Bombed it down a car park at the end of the day, sat down and stood up. Fun as ****.
aussiebomber 06-30-2008, 04:19 AM Tried ollies going as fast as I could with my friend, and started the long road to land a kickflip
Bakerx4xLife 07-01-2008, 12:47 AM went downtown San diego and skated the convention center then went to washington school and did the 8 for the first time on film =D
Andrew Jay 07-01-2008, 03:06 PM Well today i just did the normal tricks on my driveway and was trying to get riding switch down. And I'm working on something i can't wait to get a vid of to show. :):icon_2gun
fallen23zero 07-02-2008, 09:24 PM uhh pretty lax..just did my basic tricks, worked on me twisted flips, got used to my new board..and i almost double flipped off my 5 foot ledge
today i skated in my garage with music pumping, my deck was trashed so i hooked up my single kicktail deck while watching scrubs then went out skating again this time better(doing impossibles, kickflips, fingerflips,etc.) untill i got shivery and weak, going inside to chill and eat stuff haha, pretty simple day.
s k a t e r 07-04-2008, 12:37 AM i have a ****ed up ankle so all day i rode around switch and got my nollies and switch ollies alot higher and cleaner and just did switch maneuls and getting really close to land a switch heel
MichSkater 07-04-2008, 01:04 AM Went to the skatepark, tried 50-50s. EPIC FAIL. Went home, practiced 360 flips. Landed one. =/
FSBBD 07-04-2008, 12:03 PM Yesterday was incredible. It was my first 3 hour sesh and it was fun. I got back my kickflips and better manuals. I also learned a small spin. You may think it's easy but I thought they were harder than kickflips. On the way I met two new skaters and skated together for one hour playing SKATE and grinding my rail.
mcdanny 07-04-2008, 01:09 PM skated to my friends house then went to some local spots i didnt wana skate
AlienWorks 07-04-2008, 05:29 PM i restarted skating again today....man its been like 2 years
i cant really land any of my tricks anymore
s k a t e r 07-04-2008, 11:59 PM i got nollies really clean (:
Madison 07-05-2008, 11:28 PM "Sweetie, where's your helmet?"
Haha, this cop thought I was younger than 14-which apparently would require me to wear a helmet under NY state law. So, I had to show him my ID. My friends were laughing the whole time. :tongue: It wasn't even that funny. Anyway, I've been compulsively trying to land another switch kickflip lol. It didn't happen today...But it'll happen again, eventually. :)
Andrew Jay 07-08-2008, 12:11 AM Today was ok i guess. I actually went and skated at this school pretty close to my house then normally skating in my driveway. All in all everything was ok until a cop came and told us to skate elsewhere. Good thing he came at that time because i was going to jump one of the fences to take a pole. Lucky me :)
heartagram695 10-05-2008, 12:19 AM im bumping this to prevent other threads like this from popping up.
today me and my friend went to a skatepark and i met this pretty cool kid there who was trying to learn nollie flips and he ended up landing some and teaching me how to do them and i landed two of them stationary but none moving. it was awesome because i have never been anywhere close to nollie flips in my life and he showed me how my foot positioning was wrong and that helped alot.
DECKHEAD 10-05-2008, 04:12 AM How bout drinking while skating?
ahh, its so hard, i couldn't even get a pop shuvit, but i got a spewflip
well today it started by me just doin kickflips, FS ollies and ollie norths off my varander, then i stepped it up to bigspins, FS 360s, fakie bigspins, FS flips and tres. After i landed all of them i started on flat, i got BS & FS 360, 540flip, fakie FS & BS 360, FS flip, nollie flip, BS Heel and Fakie BS Heel, nollie heel, bigspin flip and nollie bigspins.
and the rest is just not worth mentioning

walkingcarpet 10-05-2008, 03:24 PM stayed home

lmfao
festeringhippo 10-06-2008, 02:14 AM Rolled over to the local grocery strip mall. First day in Phoenix that it hasn't been 100 degrees. Worked on cleaning up my kickflips. Heelflipped a bush gap twice. Worked on manual pivots which was a fail. Couple bigspins. Tried to b/s 180 said bush gap--fail. Tried again--fail. Tried a third time and shot the board into the tire of a passing car. Grabbed the board and bailed. Landed a really clean, high half cab heel on the way home. Nice night overall.
stlouischamps 10-06-2008, 02:54 AM today i 50/50ed a small ledge for the first time
ZNovak72 10-06-2008, 02:59 AM interesting day today
i went to the skatepark and did some **** down the stairs, tre, bs flip, fs flip, heel, bs heel, kickflip. just ****in around, havin a chill day skating. so right when im about to leave i decide to just fs 180 the stair for the hell of it and for some reason the board didnt stay with me and i then rolled my ankle and now its sprained...yay, and on the easiest trick ever
Shade 10-06-2008, 03:08 AM Eh, my day wasn't too remarkable. Rained so I didn't get to skate in the morning like planned. Stopped raining, then started raining again just as I was about to go out to finally skate. Waited till 5:00 PM, by then it had stopped raining and mostly dried out so I finally got to skate.
Skated for two hours. The usual... railstands, ollies, shove its, pivots, cruising around, all of which are becoming more clean and 'steezy' slowly but steadily. Also found some of those old wooden pallets out the back so I made a manual pad out of it, though had trouble ollieing up onto them because the back trucks kept getting stuck on the edge. Oh well. Maybe I could try 50-50ing it once my ollies are better.
Also, I was messing around and after a few times almost got the full rotation of a kickflip without even really trying to land one. Almost got the pop shuvits too, and I finally seemed to have figured out how to get my ollies higher... now I got to work on timing and jumping higher. Man, I never realised that I sucked so much at jumping. I really should hit the gym.
All in all, quite a fun and productive session.
aussiead 10-06-2008, 03:42 AM ^
Yea it was raining here too today but it dried up a bit about 3pm... so i went down to the TAFE (UNI) to get a kickflip off the ladge for the best kickflip comp.I was ****'d after about 5 tries cuz its that hot over here atm but I got one..so atleast i got a little skatin in today.
hokus pokus 10-06-2008, 05:25 AM my bro-ski is down from dc. we set out early to get some footage.. in the mists of rolling away from his trick, we got kicked out by security...
we met up with more friends, got some footy from another location.
then we headed to my local skatepark... skated for the 2nd time since i dislocated my knee 3 weeks ago. still hurts, but worth the pain!
then i had my video premiere, great food, excellent turnout, but they couldnt get the sound working!!!???
sold a bunch of copies. now home and writing this
Andrew Jay 10-06-2008, 05:58 AM Thanks heartagram i forgot all about this thread lol.
My day started out pretty boring, nothing special till around 7.
My friend got off of work and we got a drink and some snacks and went over to a fun lil spot with a 3 block. I realized how much fun it is to skate somewhere at night that's lite up.
And now when i do start filming when i get a cam I'm gonna have to go get some footy from there at night.
scotty 10-06-2008, 06:35 AM yesterday I went to the local skate park for 2 hours done the big halfpipe with out falling off (first time) got some suvits (also first time) and just had a good laugh
My friend came to our parking lot and first I practiced some ollies. 1 deck, 2 deck, 3 deck and finally after a few tries I landed a 4 deck ollie :) Then after that I tried to kickflip, got some down, they were pretty ugly though lol :P Heelflips got down alot easier dunno why. Then we went to this other spot which was a kinked curb kinda thing ( like a ~3 set ) Ollied it a few times first down and then up. Then we changed places, went to a spot with a 3.5 set ( :D ) Took me a couple of tries and finally I landed the set :) Then I went home feeling pretty good about this day :)
crofty 10-06-2008, 01:51 PM so i nailed ollieing off one steps, did some cool manuals and got so close to kickflips and pop-shuvs. a decent day overall.
Brokenbones 10-06-2008, 02:48 PM Hit up a new skatepark yesterday,had to climb in through a hole in the fence,apparently it was close.Tried to ollie on to this huge metal box they have theyre and manual it,back trucks got cought somewhere around the 20th try and i went flying on to my elbow,which went numb for about 30 minutes. fs 180 of the same box and a cool kicker they had there,rode around in the halfpipe, busted my ass trying to land a blunt stall(front trucks cought the coping on the way down)fell on the same elbow.then did a few boardslides,actially landed a nollie kickflip wich im very proud of.then the cops came and told us to leave cuz the park was close.preety fun day.
p.s sorry about the wall of text
Switch Airwalk 10-06-2008, 06:07 PM Today i woke up around 11. Met my friend at the local 4 stair, i ollied, 180s, and did my first ever kickflip down a 4. Which we got on film :)
i went home. andat 5 i went to this church service. which has an indoor skatepark inside. it was alot of fun got back smiths to fakie on the mini ramp. so overall it was alot of fun.
Geissler 10-06-2008, 06:15 PM Grabbed my board, cycled to spot, skated for a while, went home.
