I hate not skating

[RyanBeehlerrr]

All I haven't been to a park or a spot in 5 months, and all I've been skating has been my box, but that broke last week. Fuck summer

I feel bad if I go a single day without skating, 3 days during the winter.

I don't even know what it's like to not skate for 5 months!

Go out there and lace up, it doesn't take much more than some motivation to get off your ass.

[RyanBeehlerrr]

Well I skated my box this 5 months, I have become a box rat. Then it broke lol

[formerly galenaskater]

fix it dude, what is broke on it??

how far do you live from a skatepark/street spots. there has to be stuff within skating distance. i grew up in a fucking cornfield/beef farm and even i could ride my bike 15 minutes to town and have plenty of stuff to skate

[RyanBeehlerrr]

The top piece and some of the supports that hold the two walls in place. And I can't go anywhere, I'm in an arbitration program and if I leave to go anywhere without my parents permission, it's considered running away, and then my parents can call my arbitration officer, and then I'd get kicked out and my charges would get pressed. And I get off this program in 2 months

then you best fix that box

WHAT WOULD CHARLIE HUSTLES DO

WHAT WOULD CHARLIE HUSTLES DO

I can't kill my parent's though, or black mail them, or pimp them

No, but Charlie Hustles is on house arrest.
That's the point.
He's doing all his skating at home right now.

[RyanBeehlerrr]

I don't think he would suggest "fix your box" it would probably be something more colorful and lively

[Hakuna]

Punishment for trying to grow up too fast, go play some man hunt.

[RyanBeehlerrr]

The reason I got arrested was bullshit and mostly my brother's fault, I did mess up, but if it were just me at the time nothing would have happened

That rail cost me $10.

[Charlie Hustles]

All you need is a 10 ft long PVC pipe, two 10 ft long 2x4's, and some long wood screws. I had to move the last support closer to the end (about 3 inches away from it) than it is in that picture, though.

I used to have a practice rail that was an exact replica of Harbor Island Rails in Downtown Tampa. It was made out of the metal rails that you can buy at Home Depot. 8 ft long, 2 1/2 ft high on one end, and it slanted to the ground on the other end. You'd be surprised how sturdy that shit is with just a single T support made out of a T elbow, a 90 degree elbow and two end-caps as well as a 90 degree elbow on the end that goes into the ground. That setup will cost you about $40-50. Any trick you can do on that, you can do on a real street rail. Skating that rail back in the day made me mad confident to try tricks on rails. That's how I learned hardspin tricks and shit.

[Charlie Hustles]

Actually, that bitch might have been 3 feet tall. It was pretty fucking serious.

[Greg Schlosser]

i haven't skated since march and won't again until probably october

knee injuries are a bitch

[RyanBeehlerrr]

I never skated downtown tamap. And I don't have money to buy stuff so i'm taking apart old rails and making one decent one hopefully

I know how you feel I live in the desert so its like 110 degrees daily so the only time I can skate is at night at the park but I have no way of getting there because I have no friends who blade and my mom won't take me and she won't let me take the sun bus so I haven't been able to do anything the whole summer.
