Back in the day, we would rip off the coping(grip) from a shopping cart, and fit it to our Indy trucks. To grind them unwaxed curbs. Couldn't do it with trackers.

i remember when copers where all the rage.. i never liked gullwings much either..

I know that this thread I likely a West Coast skate thread but this is all I have to share...

When my wife and I got serious, I made her learn to skate. On account of the fact that when the Amsterdam canals freeze, the whole country takes about five days off for a huge race and marathon party. She learned to skate about eight years ago and the canals haven't come close to freezing yet.

Thanks Obama.

Hahahaha. I have family there. What a shithole. 2nd highest murder rate per capita. And I hear its only getting worse. I know some cats there from the east side that don't fuck around. Good, good people, but they don't even play around. Meth is killing that place.

I bought in 2005, by way of Salinas. Talk about shit hole also. Lived there for 8yrs, before Stockton.
I had 12 lights going in Stockton(almost Lodi) very north Stockton. Anyways, two sheriff deputies decided to move in on both sides of me. What a fucking joke.

You know you're grown ass man when some 16 year old punker calls you a fucking hippie when walk in the to pickup a 12 pack at the gas station. I'm like....fuck you...I'm not a fucking hippie....I fucking hate hippies. I'm punk on the inside. I traded my green liberty spikes and my leather jacket in for a stroller years ago. :lol:
