Belive it or not, that happens to be a very easy trick (well, to me at least, been skating over 6 years) but a Feeble is all about simplicity and style. If it looks like you don't put much effort into it, then it's a good looking one.

Thanks wikid, i like #3 too, but from a skater's point of view, you can't really anylize the trick fully, i.e. style etc...

Just a question, how many times have you broken your arm(s)/hand(s), They just seem to be in the way looking at those pics, sure they are balance poles but it looks more like you use them as fall breakers ;)

Other then that keep it punk :)

WiK1D asked me this too. Okay, here's a list of injuries:

Broken right shoulder(not skating though), broken right arm, broken right hand, dislocated right ring finger.

Um... Cracked rib, torn kidney (OUCH!!), um, MANY torn ligaments and muscles(that hurts alot).

That's all i can remember at the moment, i'm sure there's more, i'll ask Mum later, she'll probably remember better than i do! :D

Thanks Ynoz!

I skated at a park called Wonder park today. I don't have the pics right now, but i got DESTROYED by this ledge i tried to skate. $As soon as i locked my trucks on, the front one hooked on a loose screw, my board stopped dead and i got thrown STRAIGHT into the concrete. I'll get the pics from marc and post them.

That park is very small, that's true, nevertheless, it is still a very good park.

Hey guys, here are 2 video clips of me skating.

The first one is a kickflip i did down 8 stairs in a competion a few months ago (400K)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wSWo0O4IDM

The second one is an entire run i did in a comp four and a half years ago! I won that comp :D

It's a big file though, like 9MB, but trust me, it's worth it.

Let me know what you think.

This isn't arrogancy. We have a semi-pro skateboarder in our community, we should support him. 'Cos if he makes it to ESPN, he must give us a percentage of his earnings and endorsement deals. I shotgun a percentage from the Coca Cola deal. :D

Seriously though, DJV, nice vids. Keep it up!

He isn't going to be keeping it up - he broke his legs.

Hmmm... good point that.

I was under the impression it was only one leg and it was recovering well, I think I better find that thread again and have a look. However, a lot of active skaters have suffered extremely bodily damage but once healed go straight back on the board. Doing so with a passion for it greater than before because of the sheer love of the sport and their new found "don't-take-it-for-granted" attitude for life.

I don't see how him making a comment makes him a part of the brain that controls respiration and regulates heart rhythms...

Anyways off you go... Start skating. Good luck, break a leg!
