So What Do I Do...?

[crypticpoet]

DAMN IT...honestly. My mum is such a f***ing sadist b!tch sometimes. She overreacts about everything, which explains why she's done it this time.

We got into a fight about absolutley f***ing nothing, and she's forbidden me to skate for a week. Now, technically, she has absolutley no input in what I do because I'm past the age where she can control me. But, if I do go against what she says, she'll kick me out of home (which she has done before, by the way). So I've got no choice.
Damn it, last time I couldn't skate for THREE days and I lost my kickflips and pop shoves. I'm so freaked about it, because I seem to lose tricks quite easily, and it takes a while to get them back. It took me about a week to get both those tricks back consistently.

I'm stuck with major withdrawals and skate movies until Monday. Wonderful.
How long does it take you guys, when you're off your board, to lose your tricks?
And this happens to occur right when I'm at such a high point with my skating. F***ing hell. All parents seem to work at is ruining your life.

[Kake Jelly]

When she goes out just practice at home or has she taken your board?

I hadn't skated for about two weeks and lost my pop-shuv's and i had them perfectly, I didn't even have to jump foward a bit to land them they just span nicely under my feet and i can't seem to do them anymore :(

But if you're allowed out of the house go to a friend who skate's and just use their board without your mum knowing.

[crypticpoet]

Heh, you're a champ, Kake. Forgive my language before...I wrote that just after she told me I couldn't skate.

I'm going to take you up on your ideas. Tomorrow I have to be at school at 7:30am for an early Extension English class which means that she won't be home (she leaves the house at 5am and comes back at 7am--she cleans surgeries. And she's a lawyer. Go figure.) so I'll just practise on the carpet.

We have a garage because I live in a penthouse, so there's a whole carpark 13 stories down. I'll just say I'm taking the rubbish down, and I'll take my board with me. It'll be like, a ten minute skate before I'm kicked out....but at least it's a skate.

...

ARGH. I hate this.

[crazylou]

Yeah, recently I was ill and off the board for a week. It took me bout 15 mins to get used to it again and to get my tricks back. All u gotta do crypticpoet (after the not skating week is over) is to be confident and commit. It always works. Yeah, that sucks not being able to skate. Don't practice on carpet. You'll get use to it, pop a kickflip on concrete and fall right off. It's true its happened to me before.

[crypticpoet]

Damn it that's true...I promised myself I wouldn't practise on carpet. My room is tiled, though. We've just got carpet spread over it because my mum and step dad are too cheap to get proper carpeting. I could just pull that back...but then there's
a) Tile breakage
b) noise...age.

This is so frustrating.

Kake with your pop shoves -- mine spin underneath me too. Unless I do HUGE ones with heaps of air, then I have to jump to the side. I don't do them often though because I think they look better when they're lower to the ground. But after not skating for THREE days last year, the board flipped for like, a week before I could stop it from doing that and get it properly.

[spenser]

what you should do is stop letting skating be so important.

a week is nothing.

if i lost tricks as fast as you do i would suck ASS at skating.



just relax. your mind is making a big deal out of it.

[crypticpoet]

Haha the second I saw that you'd replied, I knew it'd be something mean.

You're kind of right. Actually you're right. But still, I'd prefer it if I COULD skate this week. Anyway, I just came back from my Sneak-Out-Session. I got busted after around 10 minutes, as predicted, but I got a few kickflips, shoves and 180s in and some fakie stuff.

*sigh* I just wanna go out again...

[spenser]

you expected me to be mean?

that hurts my feelings.



no, im not kidding.

[crypticpoet]

Awh, sorry spenser. I take it back:D

[spenser]

its okay, it doesnt matter.

im just in a really.. i dont know. not a great mood. everything is making me crazy (not here, and not you.. other things.)

[Kake Jelly]

Spenser it could be the weather?

[spenser]

no, because it was beautiful and sunny today.

its not the weather, trust me.

[goofy m3ng]

lol spense, ur cool :D My parents never take my board off me tho. I might go crazy. lol

[fanheader]

cryptic if you ever brake your foot how are you gonnna live?

[crypticpoet]

It's quite simple. I won't.

HAH nah because then I'll know there's a legitimate reason I can't skate. This is just stupid.

Spenser I hope everything is okay...

[Jake321]

ya i got in a fight with my mom about buying a AWS for 20 bucks. she was like " you just got a skateboard!!!!!!"

[His-Infernal]

Well makes sence, seriously at this age for me im beggining to regret all the money i spent with mom and dads money.

[360degrees]

It takes me literally a few hours to leose a trick but weeks/months to get them consistant...

I just suck basically BUT I get some incredibly good days so basically it's like so...

"Every third week in a month, Jonny has an unbelievably good day skateboarding."

Compare and contrast the above phrase.

[dead sparrow]

some people just dont see how much there mums do for them, you dont no what you've got till its gone.

[spenser]

some people just dont see how much there mums do for them, you dont no what you've got till its gone.
yeah, really.

[Mr.42]

You should just keep skating. If she screws up and kicks you out, you can come live with me or something.

[Sk8 Shorty's]

yeah man just skate before she gets home or when she goes to the store.
or you can say your going to a friends house but really take your board and skate the city.

[Kake Jelly]

^^ Mmmm but if she goes and skates the city and her mum goes out for a drive or somthing and see's her skateing that's not going to go down well

[crypticpoet]

This is true, but mum has a disease called Meniere's that makes her overreact, increases her hearing by like 50%, and it stole her ability to drive. So she doesn't drive.

I guess I'll just hack the punishment, even though I did nothing wrong. I don't like lying to people, and I hate people that lie to me...so I'll just take it.

[WakeBake&Skate]

Yeah its only for 3 days anyways. its not like a lifetime or anything

[shortty]

wow dude my parents tried to do that to me a few times and im like bitch i paid for that shit u didnt so u know what put MY ****ing board back down b4 i kick ur ****in ass

but man that sucks

[crypticpoet]

Wow you speak to your mum like that? I just hack what she says without saying anything, then when she goes away I mutter every curse I know. I wouldn't have the gaul to say that to her face, and I'd feel awful. I remember when I was little I told her that I hate her, and I still feel bad about it.

[Galadar]

dude have you ever rolled your ankle?
what did you do then?

[Kake Jelly]

It's completley different Galadar plus she said before that if she had broken her arm or leg or watever or had a legit reason she couldn't skate then she wouldn't care because she had a reason not to skate not just cause her mum said she can't.

[sk8rjohn7]

ive got my board taken away before and i couldnt go a day without touching my board so i bugged the hell out of them and they let me skate lol.

[tryhard_skater]

maybe you should just talk to your mum later. just go up and be like 'look i dont understand what ive done wrong so i dont see how im going to learn anything by not skateboarding.' or something, i dunno my mum would never even think about telling me to stop skating, and i dont even do anything bad, like i dunno what a kid over like 12 could do that parents think grounding them is gonna do anything.

also, what spenser said wasnt mean at all, and he never says anything mean anyway, he just tells people true stuff, which is rad good, if someone said something like 'are element good, i really like them' hed probably say something like no they are crap wood and explain why not, instead of a lot of crap other people might say about *****s liking element or whatever. all in all, spenser is a gangster and your mums the mean one

[crypticpoet]

Hahaha well said, tryhard.

spenser, again, I apologize.

I have rolled my ankle LOTS of times before. But I'm stupid because I still skated on it. But if I roll it now...I can hack a few days, or weeks--depending on how bad it is. I don't want to screw over the rest of my skating life by skating on one injury.
I skated today. I'm not sure if she wanted me to go or not, but I went, and she didn't seem to care when I came back. The stupid thing is I only got a few kickflips and nollies in before it started pouring with rain. DAMN Sydney weather.

[Mr.42]

Wow you speak to your mum like that? I just hack what she says without saying anything, then when she goes away I mutter every curse I know. I wouldn't have the gaul to say that to her face, and I'd feel awful. I remember when I was little I told her that I hate her, and I still feel bad about it.
I feel ya.

My 'mum' always insults me for no reason. She always tells me I stink or that my teeth are yellow or that I'm a boring person and I never talk to anyone. One day I'll tell her "**** you."
