Many skateboarders of my era myself included despises roller bladders.
We'd be posted up at a spot and some fag with roller blades would turn up. "Ya know why roller blading is harder than skatig?" They'd ask. "Right cause you can't take em off." Say. So instant disrespect and instant diminishing our feats. They were still hurt about fruit booter being their name
However the ones that rolled small wheels no safety on their blades were respected. Many crossed over to the lord and boars. They knew what they were doing and a hill could be as dangerous for them as us.
Bikers were menaces. Ya wanted then on your side but they were crazy. Arms built like legs. Pegs that destroyed ledges we skated. But they took no shit from anyone. Rob, a good friend of mine, was absolutely terrifying. He was Korean and his dad had a shack out back with his war trophies. He wouldn't say no to a fight. He'd win it too.
Skateboarding is one of the hardest skills to master, just an olly is incredibly difficult. Doing a kickflip is practically impossible. You have no idea the beautiful self development that happens in skateboarding and other "extreme" sports.
We were riding around in front of my gfs house, when a bunch of niggers got out of school (we were expelled already). They start hollering at us, "hey white boys" and shit like that, shuckin and jivin while they mocked us.
I looked at them. I think, I have my skateboard, just like that one movie. All you heard was that lovely sound of five boards being popped up, then laid down with direction, then wooosh wooosh wooosh. They were running, we were right behind them.
the perfect day. Chased them back into niggerville.
I graduated to moto in my late teens, went to the highest echelon of that sport, the top guys are all vampires, it's why you rarely hear new names in the sport. They take you out at the knees, don't let you ride their spots, and talk shit about you to anyone that will listen. I'm talking the freestyle freeride guys.
It's because they all know inside that every local A racer could do what they do for the most part. So they don't let them. They refused to let me get my backflips down into a foam pit.
I like blading as much as skating. I didn't talk to people though. I was usually the guy with headphones on, pretending my discman could handle it and wasn't constantly skipping.
All to be able to avoid conversation and just do my thing.
Most people left me alone, but I'm sure people talked about that weird kid that ignores everyone while he skates.
I still was respectful to people and their routes, not hard to do that.

He just left out children.
If you're a child, it's OK. If not, you're a faggot.
