frickin parents...

[dizzy_sk8a]

hey fellow sk8az

do u have problems wit ure parents about sk8in? its cos my parents are completley against me sk8in again, yet im 16 and free to make my own decisions.....

just so annoying......

have u had conflicts with ure elders over sk8in:? and any ideas how i can convice my own parents to giv me a chance??? lol

[sk8rnblack]

the only issue with my mom is that she thinks i break boards to much she thinks they should last years... so then i just go to my dad and he understands but if u love skatboarding then u need to tell you parents this is what i want to do. its like you telling them they cant drive or they arent allowed to play golf or what it is that they do

[Pinto]

Just keep skating, they'll stop caring. Do they keep you from skating?

[thechemicalguru]

id say my mum is supportive of it, she doesnt really bother becouse its not really a big deal

[falloffboy101]

my mum is really paranoid and tells me not to do mad things (she wouldnt even let me ollie a ****ing 4 step!!!) but she is really supportive. my dad thinks skateboarding is a hobby and a fad and in a few years it will be no more...

[Fire.Freek]

My parents are suppotive... They just don't like me doing stairs with out helmets and stuff, which can get a little annoying.

[Blind Sheppard]

Just skate.

My Dad is supportive and my mum is kinda supportive but doesn't like to watch me skating.

[just_skate_]

My parents don't really care except that they think that it costs alot of money (which is true)

[shad0w]

Yeah, same here...that's why I try to make my boards last far beyond the expirement point of any other person's board.

[Poser Park]

My mom really doesn't like the fact that I do dangerous things on a wooden board but my dad is real supportive. He tells me all the time that I could be better.

[DCsleepsalone]

uh..when im near the house and skating my rail..my parents make me wear a helmet because they think the rail will collapse any minute and ill become like paralized or something, because its a cheap rail, but thats it.

[Flipstreetskate]

My parents are pretty supportive. My dad even knows some trick names and pros.

[falloffboy101]

when im skating my rail my mum says 'be careful ... have you learnt anything new?' which is when i say 'well, ive been working on this' and roll up to the rail expecting a 50-50 to come from my feet and unto ones spinney-plank, but instead i mess the whole thing up and lock into a b/s feeble the whole thing!!! my mum just stares unto my rail, and the patch of ground at my feet, and watches in awe as i roll up the 'mini-bank' outside my house and pull the biggest kickflip ever seen by my mum's eyes...
and thats my story

[spenser]

no. my parents are really good at being parents. weve never had that classic teen/parent thing going on.

[Punk_Sk8r]

^^^^^^^^^same here my parents just dont want emt o get serioudly injured plus my dad is building me a rail as we speak thing maybe a lil quater pipe

[PopwarPunk]

Mi madre is awesome, she always needs updates on what new tricks I'm working on, and what new ones I've learned... Also, whenever I get kicked out of a spot she says, " It's a shame people are so mean to skateboarders." ...Cool mom, cool mom. Yeah, my dad's in another city, so whatever.

[Sk8in ZeRo 4Eva]

my mom loves me skating and my dad hates it, but he is never home so it doesnt matter

my mom buys me decks and shit whenever i need one cuz she likes me skating for some reason

[Menikmati]

In difference to all these peaceful solutions, such as.. coming to peace with something you love.. I say **** it.
Kill your parents, make it look like an accident. You'll get an awesome settlement, a house, car and won't have to work until you're 30.

It's a failproof plan.

[Menikmati]

no. my parents are really good at being parents. weve never had that classic teen/parent thing going on.

Just wait until you get a girl pregnant.

[Mr.42]

My Mom just wants me to be careful , and my Dad wants me to learn the old school tricks that he used to do . He says , " I don't understand all that sliding and grinding your tail into the ground , you need to learn some of the good , old tricks . " He also reffers to practicing my ollie as " riding sideways " . He's cool .

[spenser]

Just wait until you get a girl pregnant.
that wont happen until im married or something, if i even get married.

thats not saying im doing that stupid "no sex till marriage" thing, i just wont get someone pregnant, and sex isnt important anyways.

ill just do it in the butt or something.

not really.

edit: and anyways, you dont know my parents, so you dont know how theyd act.

[360degrees]

my dad is not supposrtive but my mum kind of is...

[ROCKon]

Meh, according to my parents I'm doing dangerous stunts. They say it like it involves no skill. Silly parents. But they'll still buy me the odd deck or set of wheels now and again. How very kind of them. :D

[paintballin177]

My mom got upset when i broke my arm, but for the most part they dont care what I do

[DarkHawk2-2]

my mom is awesome about everything; not just skateboarding but with anything i get into. My dad is pretty cool about me skating too but hes not as cool about whatever else I do. Like, im growing out my hair and he doesnt approve but whatever, I dont live with him so...

[Gage Crim]

My parents really don't care that much, I just skate. My mom doesn't want me getting hurt really bad, she sometimes worries about that, but she can be supportive at times, so its pretty good.

[SlimJim_junky]

My mom loves to hear about my skating.Every time I come in from skating,I tell her how it went.She used to skate in the late 70s and she thinks skateboarding is awesome.I have a cool mom. :-6:

[Skatapunk3o05]

well....my mom n dad live seperately....but my dad sumtimes tries 2 help me with my tricks..my mom says i can do it but she doesnt watch......

[tryhard_skater]

my dad is like the black guy at the start of James Craigs part in what if. Rarely if he sees me he might say something gay that he thinks will help me. My mum has never said anything about skateboarding but buys stuff. She's not sup.portive but she takes me and my friends places sometimes and feeds me so im happy. Just tell your mum you;; be careful. I always have a helmet in my back pack incase i want some gnarl

[Blind Sheppard]

Yeah my Dad does that, it never helps but he likes to try.

[casanova]

wow when i read these stories i feel how lucky i am to have supportive parents, i mean my mom does say at times i cant go skating some nights, which really bums me out, but i get to go chill with my other friends that dont skate as much anymore, and we just joke around and chill. i guess its good that my parents do that to me on some nights, its like i get to hang out and skate with everyone i wanted to this whole summer.

[Mr.42]

I don't ever start conversations about skating with my parents , unless I'm talking to my Mom , and I want to tell her about a big accomplishement like :

Hey , I just did my first 1260 degree rotation . ; Hey , I just figured out how to go in circles while I'm riding and then keep riding . ; Hey Josh almost made it up those steps .

[lambodrifter]

My dad is soo annoying. He doesnt understand that skateboards dont last 5 years and he thinks that EVERYTHING is too expensive. Anyway, if ur parents have a problem with you skating, ask them why you cant! Theres no reason why you shouldnt be allowed to pursue what you want, especially if youre 16!

[sk8er_girl]

my mom says its "not very lady-like". im like, screw being lady-like, sk8ing rox! my dad doesnt care. he doesnt care about anything i do. so, no, my parents arent supportive.

[thechemicalguru]

^^^^ looks like we have a daddys girl....................................jokin

[sk8er_girl]

-notta daddys girl- i hate my dad

[Blind Sheppard]

Wow how cool, thinking of wearing some striped socks to go with that outrageous statement? Maybe some black eye liner to show your pained soul.

[sk8er_girl]

yea yea yea.....that was an outrageous statement, wasnt it? ill be just fine w/o the sox, thanks ne way though.

[bmmetcalf]

my dad used to skate and my mom freaks out when i take a new board and come home with it all scratched up she yells YOU JUST RUINED THAT BOARD its just graphics

[Addicted2Sk8]

My mom also says that its not lady-like, i just tell her that if she wants lady-like she can go find my bitch of a sister. My dad is cool when it comes to skateboarding, he's the one who got me into it cause he used to skate (He always wanted a son but he never got it so he settled with me.) I'll come in from skateing and he'll say pass ur board so i give it to him and he'll say something like "what the f*ck did you do to this deck! i bought it 2 days ago," then look at me, tell me to get in the car and he'll take me down to the local skate shop and buy me a new one.

[Blind Sheppard]

Wow, you've just told everyone your spoilt.

[Halfpipe_Heaven]

my mum and dad let me do what i wanna style wise, but their worry with things like sk8boardin in the price, and they don't like all the spensive designer brands like quiksilver, vans, dc, bla bla. i had a mini sk8 board when i was 11, when i first started getin interested... it was my six year old brutha's, yeh, and they made me use that + i wasn't allowed sk8 shoes, until i wus about 12 years old... they don't mind me skating, especially wiv my boi friend. :-15: :-5: :-21:

[blacklabel4eva]

do u sk8 at local sk8 parks because if u do sometimes there are moms and dads there that are practically supervision
sk8 wit friends so that she will approve of someone being there if u get hurt or something
my parents are cool about it except when i brake bones

[Addicted2Sk8]

Wow, you've just told everyone your spoilt.

Thats only happened like three times all the other times i get to my room before he sees me and when he asks to see my board i pass him the newer looking one hidden under my bed.

[NIGhtMAre]

My mom thinks i'll get hurt cause my brother already did a while back.
My dad supports me.

[tup tup]

''Wow how cool, thinking of wearing some striped socks to go with that outrageous statement? Maybe some black eye liner to show your pained soul''
ahahahah thats genius.

If you 16 your going to be moving out in a year or two so it dosnt matter.
My dad and grandad used to make ramps for me and my mates when we were little, they were class. Sometimes they'd get us some bottles of weak booze aswel.

[BamSk8er]

i have alot of problems, my parents say my shoes wear out too fast, they make my tighten the laces up so it almost cuts my circulation, (lol i dont know if the circulation cutting part is true) and they say that i ruin my boards and think thats not suppost to happen.... so yeah... -.-

[Stonemonkey]

My parents are fine with it.
They incourage it, because it keeps me out the house.

[skullskater]

ya i mean just keep skatin if they keep you from skatin maybe you can go on a spot search with a couple of friends(unless you dont have any) and skate somewhere other than at your house. My parents dont really care they are just happy im gettin off my lazt butt and doin somethin.

[DarkstarSkater]

My mom tries to make me wear a helmet.....but I don't.

[03jroth]

if your parents have a prob with you skating, ask her to stand on the board and kickflip. She wont be able to do it. Sorted. I had probs with my mum and dad, I told them to get on and ollie. They fell off the moment they stood on the board!

[skidmark]

My mom doesnt really approve of it because of me breaking decks all the time and breaking bones, but my dad doesnt care.

[falloffboy101]

my mum adn dad both appreciate that it takes skill, and my mum knows that its not a fad but a passion, something in common that we all share here, on ramprage, but my dad doesnt really care.

[Ramp]
