Skatepark first time today :)

[RooR]

And I ate shit over and over and over. Tried to drop in for the first time, leaned forward, fell on my right shoulder lol. Simply trying to ride over a steep hip, fell off on the way up oh man I suck. Trying to carve around the bowl...can't even do that lol. Wow what an experience. I dont think I'm quite ready.

[Scharkey]

I'm not to great at that either.. but skating that stuff definatly helps your skating

[RooR]

There was a high school track meet going on also, so this random kid came by and was all like "man i wish i was doing what you guys were doing" so i told him to hop over. So he did, and busted clean ass heel flips on my board, showed me the hell up. Funny as hell cuz his cross country team all lost because of him lmfao

[Scharkey]

Maybe he should stick to skating?

[Pirate skate]

just gotta get used to it, took me ****ing 100 tries to drop in, killed myself a few times. just gotta get up and keep going.

[sir_lurksalot]

dropping in for the first time defiantly takes balls, but i did it my like 3rd try so it was never that hard for me. good luck

[skizzate]

When I did drop in, I did it first try. I rode ramps quite a bit, would do stalls like axle and 5-0 and shit then said **** it, I'll just drop in.

Practice makes perfect

at least your lucky to have a bowl lol the closest bowl we have is 15 miles away and its hand built (lovely half concrete half wooden) and usualy have to skate there lol keep tryin dude you will pick up ramps fairly easy it just takes practice

[RooR]

Ohhhh yeeaaa.

Hit up the park again today and was at least able to carve the side a little. Then this little 5 year old kid named Daxter came through and was showing me up. He couldn't ollie but he kept bustin out No-Complies? (the one there he takes one foot off and steps on ground and hops back on). He kept askin me why I kept jumpin off my board, but in reality I kept falling lol.

I can't seem to pop the board worth jack going up an angle, I fall forward. :-8:

dude i dont even want to bring up my first time at a skatepark...


i was looking at these dudes tear up a pool .. and i was like that looks easy well it was 11 feet deep and i dropped in and broke my arm..

[RooR]

Lol let's talk about it. :cool:

So did you ever go back and conquer the drop-in or you just avoid skate parks now?

[TrAnCe]

Bro, you cant drop in?.... man, just ride up n down the ramps till you get used to it kinda.. then try to drop into a low one. Parks improve your street, because you get more control. I rekon learn rock to Fakies.

i'm still workin on basic stuff...drop ins, kickturns, etc. i can pump a miniramp, but that's about it. i gotta say though, parks are FUN! glad to hear someone else got bit by the park bug

[enjoi_the_baker]

my first time at a park was years ago. but i still remimber it as it was yesterday :-29:

[luckysk8er1991]

i used to only skate flat ground because there were no parks by me for a while. but now theres 2. i just recently started getting good at skating park. it took like 3 years. i go pretty much every day now.

[enjoi1989]

i dropped in my first try but even after you get it down i still bust my ass time to time by tripping up or just not payin much attention. i remember the first park i went to..i didnt even skate i just sat there and watched haha soo long ago.
