A Question for Skaters (I think)?

It is a symbol of the band HIM, they created it themselves. My guess would be that if you can find info on the band HIM then you will probably find why they created it and use it.  What it represents to them.

I LOVE to skateboard. It is THE MOST AWESOME SPORT EVER inthe world. people say "its just jumping on a skateboard". it's not that easy. And I'm not excactly blonde. Concky, you should try going up a vert and standing on your hand upside down while holding your board with your feet and other hand. when you do, tell me how many bruises you have.

Yup, that is how I learned. But it will definately be more fun to learn with someone else and you'll advance faster. But learning on your own is a good way to develop your own style. Sometimes when you watch people who have always skated with a crew, they all have the same style and do the same tricks. It's cool to see folks who are self taught because they usually have a unique style and way of doing things as they learned it all on their own.\n\nDefinately follow the other advice here and invest in some good pads, particularly wrist guards. Good luck and have fun.

Skating in general isn't illegal. It's just that skating in some certain public places is illegal. I used to work at a store, and we would have kids who skated on our sidewalk. They nearly killed some of our elderly customers. That's why it's illegal in some places. Because you could run over people who are just walking around.

yes its a sport\nbeen skating for far far too long, don't get up as fast i once did from falls now.  skating with people better than you is one of the best ways to get good fast, but personaly i think "kids" are jumping into some complicated tricks too quickly without getting all the basics down.  i was by far my worst critic, but probably skated for several years, everyday, before i felt i was any good at it.  i suck now i think, just don't get out enough, but people that don't skate are still impressed.  but yeah if you can find and skate with people better than you, ask for pointers, don't get "the fear" and you should be fine.

Since you're only 11, I will let you slide with this question, but noone can help you over the computer unless they give you the exact instructions, and you write them down, and then you take them with you when you skate...I figure ice skate whenever I can!

hey Sk8, im an oldschool biker and cops used to bother us all the time about doin tricks on public stuff, benches and bike racks, curbs etc.. My skater buddies would have the same issues but as long as we werent being destructive they would usually just tell us go somewhere else. \nthis was back in the 80's so today the cops probably are a little harder on the folks.

yea they have different sizes for different people. if i were you i would go to a skate shop pick out a few boards and stand on them. see how they feel to you. i like thinner boards but thats because my feet are not very big. the bigger your foot the bigger you want your board. i guess? thinner boards are also used more often for street skating. bigger for vert. if your goin to skate vert you want to tighten your trucks because its a lot easier to fall w/ loose trucks on a ramp. length i dont think matters much. there are long boards tho. those are for cruisin around n stuff. you cant really do any tricks on them. but they go pretty fast which can be fun i guess. i like skatin strret tho. kickfliping gaps n stuff. lots of fun. i have been skatin for about 3 years. i guess im ok compared to people who i skate with. they have been skatin longer and im just as good. i bs 5-0 my first rail today. it was bad ass. good luck and have fun.
