Skate and Annoy: Daily

President Obama gives the hang loose sign.

Hang loose, dude.

And good luck on your new job. I’m sure some hysterical nut is already falsely reporting that our new President is flashing gang signs, but he’s just showing some love to his Alma Mater’s high school marching band from Hawaii during the inauguration parade, just minutes ago.

UPDATE: I’m a self confessed kook. Should have labeled the post Shaka.

    But…I like mixing sex and skateboarding.

  • i think that anyone here saying bush is a nazi or bush was the worst president and he fucked the economy and such is retarted and hey dont be dissin on certain political parties. everyone hhas a right to voice their opinion, but they 1 shouldnt force it on people, 2 they shouldnt play the fucking blame game. and there aint nothing wrong wit bein right wing conservative or left wing liberal. the extremists are the problem. bush’s legacy isnt the worst, u want the worst see if we can make it through obama…and seriously? u guys dont know wat skating is about, it aint about bein all public and shit and sayin ya go politicians i support so and so. its about hangin wit ur friends and doin the most insane fun shit, or practicing sum wicked tricks, about getting better, having fun wreaking havoc, getting arrested for no skate zone skating, getting chased by cops. not politics! everyone should bring it back2 wat skating was. a hobby/sport/way2 hav a good fucking time. people bein all uptite in the asshole is why i dont do skatin anymore. longboarding is way more chill. its just do watever u want. have a good time and chill wit friends.
    FUCK LYING POLITICAIN MUTHA FUCKAS THEY CAN SUCK MY DICK AND LICK THE SALTY SWEAT OFF MY BALLS AFTER A GOOD LONGBOARDING RUN. LEAVE POLITICS OUTTA ALL THE GOOD STUFF. DONT MIX SEX AND POLITICS, SAME FOR SKATING

  • B~ was a great emoticon considering what was contained in the post. It’s a picture of defecation, right? Free speech ought to require a qualifying exam. Uninformed opinions really don’t need to be protected.

  • cirquedaddy

    Tha Obamer Blew out our hand sign. Damn!

  • A

    “they seem like a part of the local culture.”

    Ha ha! That’s great. Then we’ve succeeded beyond our wildest dreams!

  • I checked out that mini-ramp at ed benedict today it looks sick! pool coping! (it would have looked sicker without the snow on it though). you might as well have a political skate off there. as far as politics is concerned I am ignorant and apathtic and I dont know what that means and I dont care either. free speach for the dumb!?

    p.s. I aint gots no problems with cold war graphics someones got to be politcal. Plus they seem like a part of the local culture.

  • Zed-word

    Good call Damien. Mini-ramp is the only place I ever win SKATE.

  • One more thing. I think there should be a new law that all conflicts should be ended in a game of SKATE… on a miniramp so “vert” and “street” skaters have an equal chance of competing.

  • Just walked in on this and I know he’s gone (what’s with all the weirdos on here lately), but why would Barry pull out the “don’t tell me where to take my first amendment rights” line while saying the Bush Nazi board (my favorite) is not cool? What about Randy’s first amendment rights?

    p.s. I was born in ’80 and Barry has been skating longer than me. My opinion does not matter.

  • jakeferranti

    Ha,ha..Im not saying its this site but,damn,why dont I ever run into these fruitloops at the skate park?

  • Nice work Kilwag! This is the only skate-site I can stand anymore. Thanks for keeping it dipshit free.

  • Estes' Ghost

    Oh man- I was just getting warmed up. Bye Berry Barry.

  • A

    That’s right Barry, you won’t respond, cause you’ve been banned. Not for being right wing or conservative, or disliking Obama, but because your inability to engage in conversations like an adult.

    Go start your own thing.

  • Estes' Ghost

    Well let’s just give you an award. But ultimately- you can lick my ‘testes’ because if your were a real skater- you wouldn’t cause riffs with other skaters- I never called you a name, but if you want to show us your real age by doing that- go right ahead. I don’t consider the Carter Administration the worst- Bush’s legacy is way worse. So fuck you B.

  • Like Randy says…Don’t feed the troll!!!! Then I won’t respond. Randy knows I have been against his Bush bashing board for years. This isn’t new…

  • See, I try to stop, but some idiot writes shit like Testes Ghost and I’m having to set it straight all over…You got the voted in part right on Bush, however the worst Prez was Jimmy Carter hands down. Plus, Bush has won in Iraq, and liberated millions from tyranny. I guess you miss the Taliban and Saddam. Those Countries ARE NOW FRIENDLY TO US NOW MORRON!!

  • Estes' Ghost

    Is this “B’ guy related to DaddyHo? Like Fitz said- ‘Take your pot stirring right wing propaganda elsewhere!” Bush was the worst president the US has ever voted into office- Now he’s gone- so let’s just work on the future together, it shouldn’t divide us up.

  • I’ve been skating longer than most of you including Randy. This doesn’t mean I’m better than anyone. I’m humble… I’ve got pics to prove showing me on the original Alva in ’77. So, skateboarding is what I am. But, I’m also a concerned and informed citizen. Until the Bush Bigot Board is discontinued, I will be driven to give a counter opinion. You do allow dissent, right? Isn’t that what skating is about next to the fun part?

  • b~ he’s not directly calling you a troll. I don’t know if you are aware so I’ll give you a heads up, there was this guy named daddy yo who really spent alot of time writing to skate and annoy (check it out, he was all over skate and annoy last month, you’ll love his writings). his political views were a bit different from the average skater (as I pointed out the average skater is a 14 yr old apolitical boy). the main difference in his techniques were (kilwag banned him because he was wasting our time), that he used almost every post about skateboarding as a chance to vent his political/social grievences.
    kilwag can do whatever he wants with his very entertaining web site, but I’ll dissagree and say that the post was political. what does it have to do with skateboarding? is the shaka exclusive to skateboarding?
    sure cold war skateboards has an agenda, but technicly the are just advertizers on this website. I don’t think agendas are so bad. so B~ start your own skateboard company. I bet even “fuck Obama” graphics would sell better than “fuck Bush”. ask the ladies who they’d rather fuck

  • Zed-word

    uh-oh! I think Kilwag has gone power hungry!

  • A

    Seriously Barry, If you don’t have anything positive to contribute, EVER, just STFU. This isn’t the place to air your personal grievances with me. Don’t make me ban you.

    This started as an apolitical post. Go monopolize somewhere else.

  • Zed-word

    I second that motion Concretin, and I want to tack on a rider calling for a fine on anyone asking the question “are you vert or street?”

  • Checkout the bigot board in the top right…Animosity leads to derangement~~!!

  • Randy has stooped to calling me a Troll, huh? Fuck you very much and thank you very little. I was finished until I read your slanderous name calling…You must not have read the_Bye~~!

  • A

    Just don’t look.
    Just don’t look.

    PLEASE don’t feed the TROLL.

  • And why hasn’t congress made mongo a federal offense? Can I have a a frontside indy in this “new world of hope?”

  • I’m waiting for the executive order that finally renames the ollie “switch fakie nollie”

  • Sorry to bring politics to SaA, but seeing the George W. Bush board depicting him as a Nazi, was offensive to me. That’s just BS hatred!
    When I saw the Obama(God like hang ten shot) and the good-luck paragraph, I relived the hate for the man I voted for twice. Like Bush or not, we were kept safe. Plus, anyone who is informed knows the economy went to shit over the housing industry loans. Dems. in congress for the last two years had their fingers in the pudding. Bye~~!

  • Zed-word

    You all need Fark.com accounts. Like Fitz says, lets stick with the skating.

  • I’m someone tired of reading the rants and raves of an uneducated crank. There are plenty of great places online to debate politics. Why do it here?

    I’ve never discussed my thoughts on our ex-president on this website. Skate forums are generally useless places to engage in poly-sci dialogue, unless you’re simply an attention-starved troll.

  • Hey Fitz, you mean I come off like you and most everyone here were towards Bush. Yeah, it sucks huh? Who are you to tell me about were I can take my 1st amendment rights?

  • Hey B–

    You’re fucking hysterical, and you come off like an angry idiot. Tone it down, go skate, and be glad you live in a first-world country.

    And take your right-wing pot-stirring somewhere else.

  • Conservatives-yeah, I can spell, but sometimes I’m not perfect like Obama is…

  • I am the resistance and proud. You all have bitten the fruit of the media and really believe Consrevatives are ass backwards. Was Lincoln? Obama used this Republican to make him look great in his 170 million dollar inauguration. Bush was a mere 40 million…Checkout “White Construction Workers” on youtube as see what this Nazi said. He is Obama’s economic advisor. Get back to me on that one, will ya? I’m proud to not be a hippiecrite and it’s sad how many skaters are allied w/ them!!!

  • “of sorts” – Nice pull KC

  • nweyesk8

    I love that graphic, the real insult to our troops and our patriotism is fascist bastards who don’t think and simply do what there president says is good for the country

  • So, B~ is a Troll of sorts?

  • A

    Carl – it’s not Daddy Yo, it’s another nut I know who’s pitching a fit because I won’t read his emails. He’s upset about the fascist Bush deck (among other things) because he feels it’s unpatriotic and an insult to our troops. Unlike Daddy Yo, he doesn’t have a beef with skate culture.

  • jakeferranti

    Yap yap yap, wah wah wah. I dont care what your political affiliation; if you are still crying to anyone who will listen about our new president, then please go kill yourself. I can stand it, seriously, its done. Not gunna reverse the election results,no recount, and he’s been in office less than a week so no impeachment. I cant believe these people,its one thing to give your opinion of the president when asked, its another to act like a big baby in a daiper.
    When your parents laid down a rule written in stone did you just cry about it to everyone until they went back on it? Is that why you think melodrama and pre-emptive complaining about this term is going to do something? All you clare voyants already know “the next four years are going to be horrible” so shut the fuck up and be adults.

  • B~ is obviously Daddyyo what with the same grammar and spelling errors.

  • Zed-word

    Stay classy, B~. Insulting those who oppose you makes you look like a pissy Republican nut. Don’t get me wrong, I am not happy with Obama being president, but you are just making yourself look stupid.

  • nweyesk8

    as fucked up as our ‘cuntry’ had become under Bush, Obama ‘s reversal of years of bad policy could be seen as being backwards, particularly amongst the masses that are involved in some form of religious-political agenda involving pushing their belief system on others through ridiculous laws that go against our constitution and the ideals of self freedom and liberty that this country was founded on, so fuck off B~, I hear Darfur is lovely this time of the year, take a vacation and let the adults speak.

  • here we go again, liberal this, liberal that. the only way you could say Obama is “ass backwarding”, is if you have thought of the USA as this forward thinking progressive country. the way I see it we have been a ass backwards country for the past century, and the groundwork was laid before that.
    B~, do you ride yur skateboard with some sort of strap/binding system? if so that is ass backwards!

  • Obama is ass backwarding America…Liberals are all victims!!!! What a mentality…

  • he meant maxist. Obama is a Maxist, not a Marxist.

  • Zed-word

    Thanks for the ok Curtis. I’ll try to hurry up and get kicked out so I can be there soon. Then you can slam the gates shut and not let anyone else in.
