skating across America

he owns wild grinders so definitely tell him about fb's

include general things about yourself, kaalob (especially how he's deaf), and the other person

sounds good. ill add those in.

i made a nice little packet. got everything you guys have stated. anything more u think? I think its specific yet breif, and it has all my contact info if he's at all interested.

dc's suck.. but buy a pair and take a pic of yourself in them. haha

not even! DC's are great!
(well some are)
those ones that look like white leather are hideous... but ryan smith shoes are nice. and DC hardly ever rips. but anyways, that might be a good idea.

i had a pair. i dont even skate and they ripped in 3-4months

ive had my lakai's now for at least 6-7 months. no probs at all

I want some lakai's

Woah what the f***? Lakais rip the first week everytime. Lakais skate great, but last a few days. Maybe its my monster flips...

Each person does differently with each shoe, i killed my emericas in literally a week, i took photos of them next to the box and recipt to show it was truly a week, they looked like i used them for years. yet my dc's lasted me 2 months.. p.s. the emerica were reynold 3's

hmm... has anyone tried circas? theyre bulky, but i hear they last ages.

imo nikes are the best. i got some at value village 2 years ago. wore them for a year. theyre still great

True. U get what u pay for with nike. They're pricey.

yeah. 70+ for shoes is just insane

Circa's = <3, i loved my OLD circa's, the ones Jamie tomas wore in dying to live, the big bulky black ones. They fit like a cloud and took an ass whipping, they were super sexy with that standard's 2000's cookie cutter shape of a shoe and came in black, white, grey or beige that was it, no funky colours, or Numourous colours. Or my #1 shoe i ever wore that i wish i could find again is the " Globe " Tensor Edition" mullen 3's", I LOOOOOVED those shoes White/grey/orange with a big shiny Tensor logo. I had them for 2 years till i grew out of them, skated 5 hours a day, daily with my friends, and they lasted till the heel/toe wore our from walking.

Dang haha... intense.
I'm scared to try a bulky shoe though. I've always ridden vulcanized lows of mids, and getting a bulky shoe seems so different. I can't even imagine myself doing switch flips or nollie flips with a bulky shoe like circas or DC's. How different are they? I mean they don't even look grippy.

not much of an update on the trip.

however, i want to know if theres any good blogs you guys know of? i know of blogspot and tumblr, but is there anything better? i want to be able to give u-dates throughout the trip.

EDIT:
could someone move this topic to a different section? i dont feel this is spam anymore.

get a tumblr!!! theres twitter and blogspot, and reddit might be good. prob not

So u think yublrs the best?

You guys should bring longboards for the long distance skating

We are. We are trying to get with habitat since they just came out with new cruisers. That would give them lots of props to say that their boards wwre used on a trip across the US

yeah it would

taylor can u make this our favicon?



and tell us how to put it on? lol

i cant tell you how to put it on cus i dont know

search "how to install a favicon"

im pretty sure that after this trip is over, im going to go live in the wild away from any type of society. Damn it its my dream, and just think about it! no worry about jobs, money, school- nothing!

think about it. there are but 2 essentials in life for survival, that is food and water.
tv's, couches, beds, computers, rugs, sinks- all that simple stuff is all just a convenience. Why would anyone want to live in this society that expects so much of you? and the government controling so many aspects of our lives.


sorta ranting on that last part, but seriously.

i brought this topic up a while back, and i wanna hear what u guys have to say again
