[QUOTE=notlabbet;47689551]hi, i work in a skateboard warehouse do i post pictures of my skateboard?[/QUOTE] Post some deck pics

I had to go through a ton of boards until I found out that Girl is the way to go!

I'm currently skating a deathwish board, it looks pretty cool now its all torn up.

[QUOTE=notlabbet;47689551]hi, i work in a skateboard warehouse do i post pictures of my skateboard?[/QUOTE] you can post whatever you want about skateboards. Wether it be a hot naked chick lying down on one or some old guy falling of stairs.

Currently riding an Enjoi deck. My favorite I've ever had was a Habitat deck. What tricks is everyone working on right now? I don't skate as much as I used to, so I'm back to working on my tre flip.

I heard penny's are easy to snap? Hope that's not true because I just bought one :(

Been wanting a board for a while now, but I'm always afraid I'll fall on my head and injure myself permanently

I was planning on going back to skating, asked a pal to bring my board over to Paris. He forgot it on the train, sadly.

[QUOTE=Kirbyfactor;47708090]Been wanting a board for a while now, but I'm always afraid I'll fall on my head and injure myself permanently[/QUOTE] If you're scared, wear a helmet. Also there are some cheap and good elbow pads online you can get.

Got a really cool weird deck today. My co-worker won it at a work sponsored eating contest we had today, and I bought it off him. Yes, it has a built in handle. And it's hand painted and signed. I think it's a prototype? Top: [img]http://catchmypicture.com/mbkCnt.jpg[/img] Bottom: [img]http://catchmypicture.com/hYeuZP.jpg[/img] I think it's going on the wall.

check me OUT the sponsorship deals won't stop coming, I regret doing this trick already [video=youtube;wF1KveibyjQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF1KveibyjQ[/video]
