what ever happened to park edicate. thats coming from a biker and skater. and in my days of skaten the bmx'r would have been punked down and left bloody on the concret. but thats also why i can't go to a skate park in ohio and legally ride my bike
YUP. I'm in DC and same story. So, I get up at 6am to ride while all the skaters are recovering from drinking too much Pabst (or their Moms are waking them up for school).
Problem I encounter, is that the wood-pushers don't respect drop-in order when I'm around... But, how much can I say when I'm not allowed to be there in the first place.
things have changed then, well at my bit anyway, the BMX's would beat the crap out the skaters, and hey they deserve it for not having a good sport and getting in the way
what makes you think they don't have a good sport? they enjoy skating as much as we enjoy biking and maybe just maybe your getting in their way. after all it is called a skatepark so be respectful
skateparks around here never bother with bikers anymore. If we hit someone its not going to end well for the skater though. We carry more inertia through mass and speed, and to top it off we have more control... at least in general. It used to be much different say a year or so ago though, bikers would flee when the cops came.... very lame
There is a Equal side. Some Skaters Are Just in the Sport to be Pain In the ass and think they are soo cool. the Other Side is Some Skaters Just Skate to have fun and do somthing either then sit at home. and same with BMX some Bmx'ers think they are so bad ass when they Rip apart a bench for a little Kicker and then there are others who just ride for fun and get out Maybe even escape troubles at home between parents Just think a little before you Post a comment
BEEN THERE! Riding a big line in a park, and an idiot woodpusher drops in, takes me out, and his board destroyed 4 of my spokes in my front wheel. At least he got more messed up than me, and the end of his board was chipped to hell!
ya but its different when the biker is boosting this high. its the skaters fault obviously, if i see a skater droppin about to boost something big then i sure as hell wont get in the way. should apply vice versa too
I love watching skaters getting hurt there stupid to begin with, like really skating is soooo extreme! Haha i can flip a piece of wood in mid air too! fags.
The thing is... You guys all ride the same park, so share it. Whether you're a "woodpusher", a "20incher" or even a scooter rider, just look out and think about the safety of all. Doing just that will save you hospitalisation costs, hardware costs, injuries and hate
You know, the one or ones who gave me negative props... I really don't care. The whole "prop"thing here is way too overrated. I know what I am saying and I know that most people will in this case respect what I said, and even if they don't give me positive props, I know they're here and share the same thoughts. I've seen pimples on my grandmother's ass that bothered me more. Cheers.
sorry to say this but i think this collision was probly the bmxers fault because it looks like the skater was grinding n then the biker came from the other side n boosted right into him.. n ive seen it from both sides. i used to skate n i was always pissed off when the bikers would flow in the middle of the park across all the lines n now i bike n let the skaters go n hav park manners cuz atleast at my local park most of the people r skaters n r like crack heads.
I don't know if i'd bash skateboarders. It takes A LOT of skill to be able to actually skate. Im sure they say the same about bikers, they are big and get in the way as well.
^^its so true though but also alot skaters dont look before dropping in then you come around a corner and... collision but i find its generally little kids that dont know really wut there doing
yeah, just like no one would miss you either. Read my other comment & stop coming across like an idiot... hating someone for what they do or who they are is mindless hate like racism. There are cool ppl biking, skating, rollerblading, snowboarding, rock climbing, etc. Just like there are idiots & a*sholes that do all of the above. You are in the idiot category at the moment. Until you see past what the guy chooses to do his tricks on you will always be in that category & make lil skater kids hate bikers coz ur an idiot & then some lil biker kid will hate them because they hate bikers because of you. So it's coz of idiots like you that there is all this hate. Do you at least see what I'm saying? Admittance is the first step to recovery. Lets get you out of the a*shole zone coz it's pretty gay there!
because you'd know that wouldnt you. with you bein of the other side of the planet to me, you'd know that no one would miss me, another example of why you dont say the first thing that comes into your head.
i didnt make the picture you stupid cunt, i just posted it, how can you make such a big thing out of a joke. everyone else on the site seems to find it funny, its been up 2 days and 120 ppl have faved it.seriously mate, wheres your sense of humor.
hahahahahahahahaha, out of all that, that's all you got?!?!?! Damn you are an idiot & a hypocrite... do you know the skater you just said no one will miss?!? NO!!! Saying no one would miss you was part of my point you fool, not to be taken literally & just mirroring what you said about the skater. hahaha Are you trying to look stupid or does it just come naturally?
"another example of why you dont say the first thing that comes into your head." You should take some of your own advice!
Keep hating then I guess, make the world a better place for us all to live in together. I tried to help, but you're too far gone. Lions don't battle cockroaches, so I'll let you scurrel around in peace.
at he end of the day mate, its a picture. if you want to start an argument over a picture then thats your lifestyle choice. i'd rather do what everyone else does at this picture and laugh a bit and then move on, thats the key point about my sentence, MOVE ON
i love the way he calls me a hypocrite when at the end of the day (i love that phrase) he is a 26 year old man and he's having an internet argument with a 15 year old boy. oh dear whats the world coming to lol.
I have a sense of humor when things are funny, this is not one of them. Sad there are 120 ppl that do. Would be interesting to see what response a shot of a biker getting hit in the face by a flying skateboard.
Have I mentioned anything about the pic in our lil discussion? Nope, it's your attitude that bothers me, not the shot so much & I wasn't arguing, I know I'm right. I was just trying to get you to see my point that hating is stupid. If you can't see that you're further gone than I thought. I will move on, I'm obviously wasting my time trying to get someone like you to see a mature point of view & let your attitude reflect that. Once you have some hair on your chin & your balls drop send me a message & we can laugh at how stupid & narrow minded you used to be.
eric palmer has the right idea here. there is nothing wrong with skateboarding. people really need to get overthemselves and take a step off of there throne and realize that biking isnt the only "cool" thing out there. hell bikers should thank skaters, if it wasnt for them, there would be no parks to ride because they started it all. you have to pay respect where respect is due.
That arguement was entertaining. I have to say I do agree with ericpalmer though on this one: "stop coming across like an idiot... hating someone for what they do or who they are is mindless hate like racism."
You're not the only person in the world that loves there sport.
The way you're coming across is that you think skaters are some unknown species and that they don't have passions in life.
The bottom line is, think about others and not only yourself.
I vote for this picture to be deleted so all this pointless bickering stops.
ya StevePrice I play hockey for Team USA men's and women's world teams and just won the world cup as well as ski for the US Jrs so i guess your right I really have accomplished nothing in life... or on pinkbike
Well, after a pleasant reading experience viewing the little arguements above, i will now state my opinion.
This is a funny picture. I know a few skaters ,scooterers(sp?) and bladers, that in fact are nice people. We happily share a park when its busy and we wait for eachother to finish their lines. We all have a passion for our sports and sometimes we get in eachothers way but sh*t happens y'know. What does annoy me however, are people who sit on the ramps for a hangout (which is common at my local park because they have a youth club right next to it and little kids slide down the ramps on there arses). Neg prop me if you wish (oh no, some kid has clicked on a little red down arrow. how will i live?) Just giving my honest opinion.
truthfully i dont think this pic is worth a comment 7 lines long, the picture is just a cheap shot a skater. although your opinion is very true and i agree with all of it, its just pointless over a picture like this
LOL @ Jettxc (Sep 25, 2009 at 10:46) ( wow that guy eric is a f*cking perv... this is pinkbike... not pinkskate......) so your telling him that this is 'Pinkbike' not 'pinkskate' and then you go and say this.(Oct 8, 2009 at 14:10) ya StevePrice I play hockey for Team USA men's and women's world teams and just won the world cup as well as ski for the US Jrs so i guess your right I really have accomplished nothing in life... and yes I'm a girl :]........ Dident you just say (this is Pinkbike not PinkStake!) then you go on talking about how you play hockey....... LOL you just made yourself look like the JACKASS right after you ripped on him for rollerblading hahaah dumb people like you make me laugh
And I agree with ericpalmer 100% people need to lern that everyone has there tallent and evan if its not biking. It dosent mean you have to diss them because they ride or do something diffrent people are so stupid and fight over the stupidest things and most of the time make there self look like the jackass in the end 'Example' Jettxc....so Mad props to all the Bikers,Skaters,Blades,Snowboarders, and any other sport i missed....people just have no respect for others and its soo anoying. Just stick to what you love and and let the other people enjoy what they do...no need to bring the others down for no reason
so after reading some of these comments,its started to show me how pinkbike is almost starting to make sports hate bikers by making shit like these pictures. and how some people need to get over the fact someone said something they didint like on the internet,its pointless saying pointless shit like "you haven't contributed shit or anything at all to what Ericpalmer has contributed" saying that is pointless casue i doubt sorbet has contributed dick all aswell.also when you get into your 20`s and 30`s get away from pinkbike already,biking an okay pastime or hobby but dont spend your whole f*cking life on this site. also to eric palmer get over it and stop arguing with kids over something you dont like.people like you are the reason parents dont like biking.
yeah you can said evrythig you want but they can go to skate in evry single park in my town they are like 5 indor skateparks and in only one you can ride you bike because its a public one but also they are loads of publics skatepark that ur not allowed to ride ur bike :s
i hate where everyone brings the fact it's called a skatepark. Just because it's called skatepark it doesn't necsseairly mean that it's for skateboards my local is built 100% for bmx but it's still known as a skatepark but it doesn't give skaters any rights over us. Really i say just watch out for each other then there isn't going to be no problems between bmx'ers or skaters
funny how Asians are called Asians even when they don't live in Asia... think about it...
Spot on with the last line there tho, I get just as pissed off with anyone that doesn't wait their turn, no matter what they ride.
Wow, some of you guys have 'got it bad' LOL. As for this photo: I'd kak myself If I was a bystander at the scene, always scares me when I see people get hurt badly. I mean look at those two in the photo, I mean seriously have a proper look.(Ok so let's ignore the shadow(s?) **grins**..) Look at the skater's right leg and foot position (snap/ouch). Look at the skater's position in relation to the lip of the vert (oh my word!). Not to mention the rider of the BMX who is about to visit Body-Slayum Boulevard! They're both about to go down HARD! However as it's just a photo with an outlandish statement, I can't really feel proper emotion so I'll give it a LOL rating of 5/10. N.B: All dewds that play any type of extreme sport should stick together. The only people that "JUST GET IN THE WAY" are the maximum jack ass authorities and police that keep taking our facilities away from us. kthxbye
one tima at the courtice sjate park this old guy who skated brought his kids there and somehow they ended up in the bowl and i wanted to drop in but i couldnt because these kids were stuck in the bowl i went up to there dad and asked if he can please get his kids out of the bowl then i heard some rude mumbling about bmxers
guys come on skateboarding and biking are both awesome sports. if skaters piss u off then stay away from the skateparks cause bikers probably piss them off to and be careful cause they will truck fuck you
like somone said up there,If there is a really good skater doing there thing ill respect them, like at least there doing a sport that ivolves a skatepark/ stairsets etc. But when there is a 12 year old that sits there ass on a skate board and rides down the ramps like that and stuff thats what pisses me off, and yes everyoen takes there turn this is 100 percent the skaters fault we all jsut have to keep our eyes open.
well skateparks are for skaters mostly aka name of it skatepark thats why there bike parks for bikers and bike specifc so the hate doesnt happen cause i skate and bike so i know the hate there is
im a skater and skateparks are called skateparks for a reasing skaters dont go skate at bike parks...like wtf just go stay in your bike park this is the bikers fault
fucking hate skaters and if they have a problem with me saying that then fuck them its there mistake for always getting in the way and half the shit they do they never land when are they gonna figure it out and just give up....
man thats what palmer is talking about, you have a bad attidtude about skaters ,man. there chill you just gotta get tipsy and understand what they are sayin!
todo lo que vos digas pero fijate en cuanos parks se puede nadar en bici en cordoba en el de las naciones que es publico en todos los demas ni mierda y en catamarca hay un parke de la puta amdre y si te emtes con la bici te meten en cana esta impresionante ese parke y asi hay un monton es ams si no me equivoco en bs as en uno solo se puede andar en bici
