Pros?

[KYSkater]

So how many pros do we have on here now? And what about ams?

[KYSkater]

i'm just a normal skater having fun skating, and if i make it somewhere...cool. if not i'lll have fun skating around my little town.

[Paul]

I would be considered AM i guess but not because of my vert skating but becuase of my park and street skating, im one of the best skaters in my area mainly becuase i do the biggest and hardest tricks then anyone else in my area. The hardest part about skating for me right now is i go through a set of skates in about 3-6 months, a set of wheels in 1 month (i went 3 weeks not skating becuase i had no extra wheels and i had 2 cored wheels, which i rode for 3 days before the wheel acually fell apart) and frames every 6months to a year plus i tracel a lot so skating becomes really expensive and I dont have that much exposere so i can't really get an sponsores so i really cant skate as much as i want to, and with not being able to skate i can progress myself to the level that i need for sponcoreships so it really sucks. K2 said they would pick me up becuase my skating level is there but i just dont have the exposor that i need which sucks.

[KYSkater]

that does suck. i barely have time to skate anymore either. only on the weekends and i'm either doing something else or its raining. but i don't think my level of skating is to am potential either so i'm just out to skate and progress right now.

[Paul]

I try to skate as much as possible, even if it's for 10min i'll go hit my local park or pull out my rail, which sucks all it is is a wooden handrail we had when we redid our basment that i put on a woodblock and waxed to hell

[KYSkater]

a wooden rail? i have 2 rails at my house. a flat one and a round one, both metal. also a 4' quarter pipe, picnic table, long step, and launch ramp. but when it rains all that is useless. :( hence the flatland skateboarding inside my room when raining. but i don't even have time to practice at home anymore, i think we're just starting to get the hurricane rain or something cause its been raining alot down here.

[Paul]

I jst hope it doesn't rain when we come down becuase if it does im going to be pissed

[KYSkater]

well hopefully the whether is wrong...cause guess what it says in the extended forecast...

i really hope its wrong.

[Paul]

I hardly trust the weather 3 days from now so i woudl never trust it a week in advance

[KYSkater]

true, true. i don't trust it either. but if it does do you all have a back up plan?

[Paul]

ni idea

[KYSkater]

cause i don't think 25 people would fit in RIOT. :shock: well maybe they would fit, but i don't think there would be much skating room afret that.

[Paul]

where riot???

[KYSkater]

its in industrial park...about 30-45 min. from louisville. its kind of a small park now that they moved. but i know the owner and he'd prolly let us rent it for a smaller price if i broght 25 people and stayed for 6-9 hours.

[Paul]

IF it does rain i'll let Leo, the organizer, know that you have connections with a park that we might be able to go to.

[KYSkater]

cool...and i'll try to talk to Floyd(owner of park) sometime this week and see what he thinks.

[Andy Chase]

I think I've been skateing longer than almost all the pro's. 15 years.

[Paul]

damn! i';ve been going 7 years but 5 of them were with normal rollerblades, Non-aggressive and with the middle two wheels still in, and only 3 months in vert.

[Andy Chase]

They didn't have agressive rollerblades when I started. Just "stunt skates" I learned to ride mini in macroblades.

[KYSkater]

i've been aggressive skating for about 2 years, but regular skating for about 13-14 years...shit, i've been skating almost since the time i could walk. but i need to practice more aggressive. its all good though cause i mostly do it for fun.

[Anonymous]

where i live thers pretty much no exposure at all. but im not that bothered cause i stull suck at vert at the moment- been doin it for 4 days :mrgreen:
