Lords of dogtown? Is that the sequel to the original Dogtown movies?

Wow how did I miss this one!
I used to be sponsored by 2 skate shops and a little New Jersey based deck company called Bad Okole. I was going amateur for SHUT skates in N.Y.C. years ago until a pretty bad ankle snap ruined any hope of future competitive skating. (Just couldn't get my board control back after that one)
Hopped on my first skinny plastic banana-board when I was like 10. Skated til' I was 25 or so. Skated in over NY/NJ local competitions. (All Street skating)
Injuries:
3 concussions
Broken right clavicle (shoulder bone)
Broken right arm
broken left forearm
horrible wrists now from too many slams when I was younger.
Knees that crack louder than a balloon popping when I squat down.
Numerous broken toes.
Broken tibia and fibula in my right foot. The one that ended my competitive skating.
Would I do it all again?
HELLS YES!!!!!!
Fav Skaters:
Ed Templeton
Jason Lee (Yes he was a pro skater b4 becoming an actor)
Mike Vallely (But only his skating. He's a complete ******* and his attitude is the suckiest ever)
DaeWon Song
Jim Theibaud
Brian Lotti
Frankie Hill (cuz' he used to go HUGE on everything)
Lance Mountain (cuz' he's a funny mofo)

Nice BooGiTyBoY! My ankles are soupy also, but I've had far fewer injuries than you. I do have a big scar on my chin from a faceplant on a half pipe though.
I also remember Jason Lee the skater. And yes, Lance Mountain is a funny mofo. I'm sure you've seen the old vid of himself and Blender skating Blender's house, literally in the house, with ply throughout? That kicks ass.
My favs: Tony Alva, Neil Blender, Steve Alba, Jason Jesse.

Wasn't that for one of the Santa Cruz vids? Wheels of Fire was it? Or PP's Public Domain? (Didn't Public Domain start with Lance doing a wilson on his board, then chasing it down the road for like 5 miles? lol)
And as far as the injuries go, my motto when I used to skate was "go fast, go big"
I was the type of guy who would start pushing at least 20 feet behind everyone else, and would rather do backside 180's down 12 stairs all day while my buds were doing lil' kickflips and shove-its down 5.
Haha you're crazy boogity boy. I used to love going big, the feeling of accomplishment after landing a trick down a set of stairs is simply awesome. But since my ankles has turned to mush I just skate around and do little ollies on curbs and sidewalks.

It was one of the old Bones Brigade vids, maybe the original.
Those Santa Cruz vids, Wheels of Fire then Streets of Fire, were some of my favorites at the time. And Hokus Pokus, I saw that one and was
, especially at Matt Hensley (sp?)Ah, those were the days...
I was never one to go big on my skate. Biggest was probably a 6 stair gap. I would do pop shuvits and some weird* step-off shuvits down those.
*weird because I was the only one doing them. Not sure why.
BTW, Old Powell vids for sale. On DVD yet. :tup:
I gotta find those SC vids!
{edit: More vids, including a set with SC's Speed Freaks, WoF, and SoF here.. lmao, that was too easy.}

Search for Animal Chin! MWAHAHHAHAHAA
BIG FAT STALEFISH!!!!
Those vids you mentioned also remind me of some other favs....
Matt Hensley was a rockin skater trickwise, but I hated his hunchback stick your wrist out at a wierd angle style.
Julien Stranger from the Santa Cruz vids ruled. He was a smoothie alright. He had the definition of "gluefoot" down pat.
Oh and Jeremy Klein. He was a monster on street. Also had that kinda hunched over foogleh style though.
I miss those days. I still mess around on my buddies board sometimes. And my best friend's 6 year-old has one of those little ass mini-boards. I actually kick-flipped it and 360 pop-shoved-it. So at least I can still do something I guess.
Now I just play lots of Tony Hawk Pro Skater and I treat every UT2004 map like a skatepark, my shield-gun being my deck.

I remember Stranger. He did kick ass.
Funny you mentioned skating in UT maps. If I could program, I'd love to make a skate mod for UT, taking classic levels and adding all kids of ramps and rails.
All I do anymore is go fast and carve. With a few ollies and shuv-its. And bert slides

So we've established that one way or another, we are skaters in our autumn years.
how will we ever go about filling that void?

I'm gonna teach my kids to skate. Seriously.
Cruising does it for me. I'd ride a half or snake run if available, but there is nothing in my area.
I need to get my board re-taped and some new trucks for the summer may hit Radlands or something once I get my skill back.
Buy a DNA!
I remember mine and it wa sthe best deck I ever had.
Damn you all, now I feel like skating again.
I think I'll go and freestyle a bit in my backyard, wearing worn addidas sneakers and a deck thats aprox 4 years old...

Summer is almost here in Boston...and I turn 33 in a month. I'm probably going to whip out a board I bought last summer on impulse and scoot around the city a bit...it should be a ton of fun.

think if summer hits the UK i'll either tape up my deck or buy a whole new set up and ride around Milton Keynes a bit should be fun....
