Yo!
So I went o the premier of Deathbowl to Downtown and it made me really miss skateboarding. I thought that getting together on skateboards just like we do with bikes would be a fun/different night.
Soooooo:
Tired of SKIDDIN' and SHIFTIN' it? Put down your bikes for a night and pick up you skateboards!
GRIP IT N' RIP IT!
Yep, dust em off, what ever you got, old school, new school, longboards, customs, anything that's not a bike!
Digablesoul will be blasting skate punk, grunge, and hip hop along the way!
4-5 mile route on smooooooth streets with a few stops for tricking, chilling, and ruling! Maybe a little ramp action?!
Whatta ya think?
BTW, You'll wanna skip ahead to 2:22 for the action.
I know this was posted before but it was buried pretty quick.
It's also worth going to the site and watching it full screen. Cheers!
fuck Burbank......Should be mid city or DTLA. Shouldn't even be at a skatepark. Just in the streets.
Watch this video. possibly the raddest skate video ever. the filmmaker went on to make feature documentaries and films in Canada.
1:45 mark is Midnight Ridazz on Skateboards. That's what we need to do. Seriously...no skateparks. just ride in the streets.
I've got the whole faction catalog on cd.
this ride needs: suicidal, descendents, black flag, circle jerks, d.i., sabbath, nugent, beastie boys punk songs, tsol, stalag 13, nofx, agent orange, u.s. bombs, the hunns, fear, red kross, shattered faith, wasted youth, youth brigade, rage against the machine, social distortion, minor threat, fugazi, surf punks, early van halen, blue oyster cult's godzilla, early deep purple
i've got all of that on my ipod. should be no rap....strictly punk and hard rock. that's just my opinion.
off broadway he rolls
grommet posse thick
with the industrial sized wax he thinks hes sick
nose slides galore at the speed of light
dont dare him to wax more or he just might
scrubbing away down to the wick
with all that wax he still cant do shit
noseslide after noseslide this kids gettin happy
bet the little punk cant do a slappy
he better wise up fast or well shove the bar up his ass
battle wax
curbs ex-lax
posers ploy
fakers toy
grind with fright at the speed of light
forced to pummel sir wax a lot
all weve ever needed
is in our hands or under our feet
came in the shape of a plank of wood with four wheels
a simpler time when we ran from cops
got picked on by jocks
and made new friends
theres no reason under the sun why all this fun should ever fucking end
generic boards / generic tricks
generic zines / same old flicks
generic spots / generic friends
generic riders / generic trends
but i try not to let things stop me from having fun
i like to skate with everyone
sure i suck but i still have fun
landing new tricks is such a fight
my bodys wrecked but i still try
and i hope i skate till i die
on the road of life be sure to stop and skate the ledges!
were gonna skate whatever the fuck we want
we dont give a damn if theres a sign or not
were gonna go out grab our fucking boards
skating down the street the angry youthful hoard
pigs try to stop us
theyre a bunch of ugly fucks
im gonna hit them in the head with my skateboard trucks
pigs always try their hardest to bring us down
but were not gonna stop until we rule this god forsaken town
well reclaim tese streets in the name of fun
dont stop now the wars just begun
we wanna see anarchy in the streets
all the young skatepunks skating to the youth riot beats
riding skates in the dark
playing soccer in the park
watching animal chin
just like the guys in thrashin
always having good clean fun
these are the things that keep us young
cause it doesnt matter how old you are
its how old you feel
so be young have fun and keep it real
Ha! Fruit booters? No hating here. I sucked at skateboarding. The only thing was able to do was ollie on grass… and had one pair of shoes so I had to put duct tape on it. So what was my next step? Rollerblades baby!!
Not to change the subject but back in the day, early to mid 90's, us bladers and skaters (in Ktown) co-existed. Rolling down Wilshire... looking for rails... and gaps to jump. Grinding on the white cement next to the Wiltern and at the back of the am/pm that was around there. Those were the days.
Of course... in the back of my head... the skaters were like.. "Is griding all they do? Let’s see a kickflip!” But yes… skaters I used to see were cool.
I want to Gleam the Cube. I wish I can skateboard. =(…
DTLA was burned out long long ago..... the security guards are all over that ass on any of the skate spots that are left. Hollywood is not too bad though... where to session? Hollywood high? Name some spots. Anyone remembr the CNA building? If you remember that name you are of the earf.
yeah DTLA is no longer a place skaters go. all the rails and ledges have knobs on them now. same goes with wilshire. chinatown has some cool hidden spots like wall rides, banks, ledges and rails.
the only problem wth a skatepark is people getting hurt and having to carry pads and a helmet. we should just take over a lane and ride. are there any laws about skateboarding in the street?
getting a ticket for being drunk on a skateboard is just a drunk in public ticket, whereas we all know what happens if you get a ticket for being drunk on a bike. yadda yadda yadda.
i can only listen to nofx for a bit. fat mikes voice really annoyes me. also watching them live sucks. they talk waaaay to much. i guess thats why their live album is called "i hear them suck live" for a reason.
I used to ride the CNA banks on sundays after 9pm. The guard was chill and he didnt really want to be outside from what I could tell. the park was not cleaned up like it is and people would sleep around the building, but when the guard did come out, we bribed him with a pack of cigarettes. no joke. got to session that shit all night. this was when you could still buy wheels that were 92a even 85a. ha. otherwise riding those banks now on these new school 101+ wheels will have your balls shaking.
true about the park. I hate wearing pads and helmets. it impedes my monster ollies and backside airs. fuck it though, its been a long time. I need to get my legs back before get down. I know a spot up by wilshire and santa monica that would be fun. parking garage with a launch ramp type driveway curve. real smoove.... some curbs..
I'm thinking more of taking a lane and cruising around. A lot of peeps will be riding long boards too, so super long sessions at spots will be kinda boring for some.
Man, this will be so dope!
I'm gonna route scout tomorrow night. I think DTLA will be chill at night... nice roads, some fun lil' hills? Hollywood's streets are pure ass, unless I'm missing something...
Grip it!
I just saw that there's NOTHING going on this night besides GRIP IT N RIP IT!!!!
Come on out, even if you're not that experienced on a board... it will be mostly cruising with a few stops for trickery, debauchery and perjury.
Route scouting tonight, final details tomorrow.
He said it was somethin' so appealing
He couldn't fight the feelin'
Somethin' about it
He knew he couldn't doubt it
Couldn't understand it
Brand it, since his first kickflip he land it
Uh
Labeled a misfit, abandoned
Ca-kunk, ca-kunk, kunk
His neighbors couldn't stand it, so
He was banished to the park
Started in the morning wouldn't stop till after dark
Yea
When he said it's getting late in here
So "I'm sorry young man there's no skating here"
[Chorus]
So we Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Coast
And the way he roll just a rebel to the world with no place to go
So we Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Kick, Push Coast
So come and skate with me, just a rebel looking for a place to be
So let's Kick, and Push, and Coast
Alright... so instead of cruising around so much, I think we're going to find a chill spot to grip, rip, drink and jam to rad music.
The jury's still out on a spot... whatta ya think? What's decided right now will be the spot... DISCUSS!
So far, the most promising spot that's fun for boys and girls are the banks in Noho ish area...
Aww boo... I guess ride is officially postponed... pushed till next month. Hit me up early Lee and I'll reserve the date for you. Till next month peeps.
@ Barley!!!!
Yo! Thanks for getting on this!!! Wanna use the grip n rip it art? Also, hit me up so we can work this out together, music and all that... I'm stoked bro bra bro bro!
