Apologies for the double post. Damn the web and it’s glitchy ways.
Also: Kilwag, you have a rad site, but it’s time to migrate this shit to a better platform. I realize you may be constrained by myriad criteria, but you’re up against Facebook, Instagram, etc. Keep this viable!

FUCK facebook

I know! It sucks being in touch with friends, family, old co-workers, distant relatives, and loved ones. And who wants to know what’s going on in our world? I mean mean shit, you can log on, see what people are talking about, dig all sorts of links, pictures, music, skate-clips, and headlines. I heard you can discuss or ignore whatever you like. Rumore has it you can even block stuff that bugs you.
That’s whack!

Actually it does suck being in touch with my friends and family and old co-workers via the internet only. For one, my mother posts too much porn on facebook but how can I block my mother? If you’re not in touch with me without a computer then perhaps our relationship is over. Bye bye wankers. Log off and come around for a cuppa tea.
Photocopied zines, please!
Fitz
I’m going to send your mum a friend request.
Cuppa sometime soon.

I agree on all counts.
Fitz
Man, that would’ve kicked a lot more ass if I could’ve spell-checked…
kilwag
Better platform? Name one!

I hear the updated MySpace is really exciting. I know, let’s make a photocopied ‘zine!
kilwag
I actually designed a WP theme like that.
Fitz
Kilwag for the win!
My computer knowledge begins and ends with email, and porn.

What the hell is email?

My Vans are made in Indonesia. Fitz have some pride. I know you have been around for a while.. So what if i am childish…its the point of what Nike stands for. They dont belong in the skate community. I will go to my grave without putting that shit on my feet.
Fitz
I agree it’s weird. I still skate in Vans–always have, and always will. As much as we’d like to see skating stay where we liked it best, it’s going to change.
Personally, I’d take it back to Nimbus ’87 or Smiley’s ’88.
But we’re old men. It’s up to the kids now. Nike is part of their world.
Fitz
Where the fuck is the reply button?
@RH:
The only people who see these absurd recreational divisions are children. The rest of us see it through the lens of adults. It’s all the same… Risk for a reward.
As for your vague analogy: Just be clear. It makes no sense.
As for me being a frump: I don’t give a shit, and never will.

You all wear the same shoes as football players…NIKE is jock as it gets. How many football players wear Vans?
Fitz
I’ve never skated in Nikes. However, Vans, Converse,
etc, are all corporately owned and made in China (Nike owns Converse now), so the distinction no longer matters…

What’s the hardest thing in rollerblading ?
Telling your dad you’re gay.
Welsh Pete
What’s the hardest thing about being a skateboarder?
Accepting you’re not cool anymore and that it takes more gonads to be a rollerblader these days.
kilwag
I went to WIndells a couple weekends ago and was startled by a posse of fully grown, (Dare I say “men?”) on rollerblades. It was the oddest thing. Weirded me out a little, but then I thought a posse of upper middle aged skateboarders might have the same effect on some people.
Fitz
Agreed. Silly divisons among skate, BMX, inline, and scooters is ridiculous.
NONE OF US ARE ON THE FOOTBALL TEAM.
Early Burnside often featured Red, Kent, Terry and Marlon Osbourne, Alex Morrison, and a ton of other loons riding BMX bikes. Few of you will know who they are, but they were every bit the best dudes. Also, nobody cared.
This stupid divison is as jocked-out as it gets. Punk rock didn’t have rules. Neither should skating. Is this art, or is this sport? Sports have rules. Art is free.
Your call.
See you in showers…
RH
Give it a rest, you false-equivalency frump. Here’e the distinction: The Matt Hoffman Skatepark, maybe you’ve heard of it… as well as hundreds of skateparks that allow bikes, and in some cases were pushed for by bikers who attended the meetings. But as for those not-gettin’-it-done others… they’re reminiscent of those punks of yore, the Gay Cowboys in Bondage, with their album “We’re Not Gay, But The Music Is!”…. Their sport is quite simply a screamer (not that there’s anything wrong with that)
Fitz
What’s the hardest thing about being funny?
Telling new jokes that don’t bash gay people.

There are so many fruit booters and scooter kids where I skate. I almost feel as if rollerblading is making a comback. Those bastards wax the shit out of the bowl coping too! Regular metal coping not pool. So much that my friend carries around spare griptape so we can sand the coping clean. I fear for my life that rollerblading gets popular with the mislead youth of today. Coping everywhere will move into a sort of ice age!
JakeAndAnnoy
He looks like a chick who wears boots over her jeans, and speaking of,wake me up when that shit is no longer in style.
Fitz
Jake, chicks can wear anything they want, and it’s hot. If it offends you, help them take it off. Chances are, you’ll forget what you were mad about.

After seeing someone on rollerblades at Glenhaven the other day, I actually heard a 17 yr old kid sincerely say, “Man, if i didn’t skateboard I would totally rollerblade. It just looks cool” I felt old and contempt for the kid…
seedy
Items he’s missing…
1. Energy Drink
2. Electric guitar (soloing, of course. Rhythm guitar is for pussies)
3. Parachute or wingsuit.
4. Snowboard strapped to skateboard strapped to inlines.
