I hate video cameras and long cold winters.

[lemonade man]

Hey guys. I haven't been posting on here for a while and have been skateboarding significantly less than I used to. I began to start trying to skate as much as I used to recently but the winter's harsh weather is a real bitch and is preventing me from getting into it again. I don't really have access to indoor skateparks or a garage or anything. Over the summer I skated plenty but I didn't film any of it because I've found that filming makes skating frustrating for me. I enjoy it a lot more just skating without a video camera with my brother, just having fun. It is just really depressing me that I am becoming less and less interested in skateboarding. Lately I've actually been playing football and other sports with my friends rather than skateboarding.

OMG! how could you?

[McJesus]

Damn lemonade man. I remember how good you were. Get back into it bro. Maybe you should make a compialation of your old footage. Maybe peoples comments would give you some inspiration to go out and take another go at it.

[Dookie416]

well dude, this is what i think whenever i become less interested in skating. just think, even if you don't have access to spots/parks/people that skate, if you stick with it, eventually when you get older and can drive and go places, you'll get recognized, and you'll just grow to love it more (or at least for me). and i don't know what would make you want to play sports. i mean i guess it's cool if you just play with some friends, but like, skateboarding > sports. there are no rules, it's not even close to a sport, it's just a form of expression and one's creativity. sports have rules, uniforms, teams, goals, you either win, lose, or tie, and i just can't see how you'd play sports rather than skateboard.

oh yeah, it's great to see you post again.

[LIVETOSKATE!]

its all about having fun
sometimes i get so frustrated with a certain trick or gap that i forget how fun skateboarding is

i dont have to worry about harsh winters here in arizona
unless you count a high of 70 [what the highs are now] as harsh

[crazy_dave]

Welcome back bruv.

[skizzate]

I just got like 6" of snow. Thats balls.
Welcome back bro.
Oh and like MCJ said, driving is the shit.

[Flamethrower]

Welcome back, but no offense, you're a dumbass, okay? Just because you're doing something other than skateboarding doesn't mean you're losing your love for it. It just means that you're going to have to find something pre-occupy you to get back to doing it, ya know? Sports are a great way to buy time until the warm weather is back. ^_^ Snowboarding, for example, is great for this shitty and beautiful weather, and who says you need to film? ****, I don't give a shit if you do or not, just as long as your around helping some people out. Anyways, you don't even need to get back in skateboarding, I guess it's just if you feel like doing it, even if most of the people here want you back. And again, I'm sorry for calling you a dumbass, I guess.

[danmorris778]

Yeah man, get back into it it will get better :)

I aint been skating in about 2 weeks now cuz of dumbass england :/ It motivates me more to do it though if you get what I mean.

And skizzate it was Dookie that said summit about driving not McJ :) lolzz

[cordell]

Skateboarding isn't supposed to get you frustrated, your supposed to skate for fun. If your not having fun on a skateboard your wasting your time.I kinda stopped skating for a while and it was difficult to get back into it bacause i didnt have the time. And i kinda dont feel like it. But skateboarding is the only sport i play so whatever. And ill be skating a lot less cause winter is coming and there is no indoor skateparkd where i come from.

Welcome back bro.
Oh and like MCJ said, driving is the shit.
Haha same here
But yeah, if you're not interested in skating anymore, just don't do it. It's your life, do whatever you want to do. No one is forcing you to skate

[AdioBird52]

Skateboarding isn't supposed to get you frustrated
I beg to differ.

[Celestico]

It's good to see you back lemonade man!
It's been a year or so.
I haven't filmed lately either because of camera problems and the harsh heat of winter.
But it'll be good to see some new footy ;)
Get filming!

I feel you brotha.

It was HOT AS HELL today, man that part sucked.
Lucky for me, 1 of the few spots around here was shaded completely.

But yeah dude, I got disinterested in skating 2 weeks back, and I was so lazy I would only skate 4 hours a week. And that was on the weekend with my close buddies.

Just keep skating through it all, maybe watch some skate videos and you'll be back in no time.

Peace and Love, John.

[skizzate]

Ha **** you guys saying winters too hot. Come here and chill in the brisk 15+ weather.
And, lol on me. haha, driving places is dope, DOOKIE, not you mcj, you bastard.

Yeah, kickflips piss me off so much, but then I just ollie off stuff and then I feal better.

And wow, I didn't think many people from Arizona posted here. It was 70 today, perfect for skateboarding, although I came in my house all sweaty.

[Slyde]

I sweat in 40 degree weather, it's just a matter of how active you are really.

I only drove to a spot once, with my buddy who had a car, but it was 3-ish minutes away, so that doesn't really count. =(

[ThriceRocks]

Wow....too hot to skate during winter.....try skating during summer in florida

[RooR]

Well last summer it hit 115 degrees Fahrenheit....and dry as hell too. One little breeze takes all the moisture outa ya.

[Fire_Freek]

this is skateboarding, if you let cold weather stop you from skateboarding then you arnt a skateboarder

[Dookie416]

i let cold weather stop me from skating today, considering i couldn't kickflip because my toes were frozen.. guess i'm just a *****.
