Late to the party but I love having different boards and love trying to get my “tech” tricks on the funky shaped boards. Shapes don’t really make _that much_ of a difference for a lot of tricks to be honest, I think width and the wheelbase impact my skating more. This said, the shaped boards I skate are narrow (in most people’s mind, 8.125 feels big to me). [Big square tails are pretty damn cool for tailslides](https://www.instagram.com/p/ByLtBbToGPL/). I’m 37 and always tried to skate a bit of everything but mostly skate curbs, ledges, manny pads, flat rails and small transitions these days. Shit where I’m less likely to break bones. ---

what a horrible, horrible cash-in. I hope he gets knocked over by hooligan skateboard yoof. I guess he’s finally sick of having to say ‘no not _that_ Tony Hawk…Tony Hawksssss…I’m a comedian!’ ---

I saw a video of him reading some extracts from the book. Wasn’t funny. I wonder if he ever saw that Tony Hawks’ Velvet Underground Scene Zine thing in Sidewalk… ---

I read his Round Ireland With A Fridge book. Was quite amusing. This book is entirely about the fact he is all too often mistaken for Tony Hawk and his typically blinkered view of skateboarding. I would probably find this more infuriating than amusing. ---

For a while I’ve been doing a trick on transition that (to me atleast) is a fakie hurricane ie coming into it fakie, putting it in fs feeble position/grinding it just like a hurricane and then doing the odd 180 bit back in. I managed to scrape the same trick/motion on a ledge popping straight in from fakie and clattering the thing out, is that also considered a fakie hurricane, some other weird naming scheme or should I just hang my head in shame for doing such a clutzfuck trick and never do one again? ---

Maybe it’s just a fakie FS Feeble? ---
