Yo! Total kook here. Ive been lurking for the past 6 months or so and just wanted to say whats up. I started (attempting) to surf about two years ago or so. Long story short, I'm a 20+ year skateboarder who decided that the only only "extreme sport" worth giving a shot was skateboardings father. Ive been having a blast and I think I'm effing hooked. Ugh. Im up in Northern NJ and been hitting mostly Monmouth/Long Branch as its the closest beach to me. (about an hour or so) Hit me up if you wanna shred. (do surfers say shred too?) Im def looking to hook up and learn the ropes a bit. Holler! Too desperate?
welcome please start contributing to other threads. way too many people make a hello post and we never see them again
Go to Bel Mar and nail a Carolina Cutback. Then come back and maybe we will let you in Da Club. Or just send pics of your hindu to Metard and we'll let you in too.
Welcome, if you've been lurking for 6 months, I don't have to warn you to put on your thick skin. What kind of skateboarding do/did you do? Kickflipper? Vert? Roundwall? or just transportation?
Ah Mr Carter I skate everything cept handrails I'm to old for that sheit these dayz...but no tricks will count unless there caught a minimum of 1ft above the coping...
Yeah rails scare me for sure man. I really only ride/rode transition and was never very good at street stuff. I agree all airs must be at least 1ft out to count and any inverts must be held for minimum of 2 mississippi or they don't qualify.
I hear you dudeski but clean inverts you plant solid and pop right back in...longer you stall the uglier it looks...I haven't attempted one of those in years...I'll try one later today just for you Carter...
Yeah no long stalls just on one hand above coping for 2 seconds, no handstands. Be careful with them man, last one I did a year or two ago tweaked my shoulder for about 2-3 weeks. Getting old sucks!
Surfers still say shred, but no longer shralp. "After that elgrande taco, my BLEF shredded that sofa".
