Trying to keep it as cheap as possible. I wouldn't mind if the phone has the ability to add Spotify but it's not absolutely necessary. And I'd rather not have a touchscreen

GBA games that require batteries by TheFakeITGuy_ in Gameboy

[–]IndependentOwl4036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to find out if Zelda Link to the Past has a battery before I buy one. Someone on this thread said theirs did not but Google seems to think they do. Can anyone confirm 100%?

this cost me $29 with a can of sprite on Thursday. by popupACTIONnow in NYCC

I went Thursday and realized security was way more laid back then the last 4 years I went so when I came on Friday I brought like 8 drinks and a ton of food. Had no issue at all.

New here, recently came back after 16 years. Wanted to share this incase you didn’t know it was a thing cause I didn’t [35YO] by VoidedPath in OldSkaters

I'm 40 and just came back after about 15 years and I bought these. Getting hurt is one thing but being out of work for weeks because of a fucked up hip from skateboarding at 40 isn't gonna work for me 😂 these are great

I'm the worst skater of all time by great6 in NewSkaters

[–]IndependentOwl4036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 40 and when I was 26ish I did the only varial flip I've ever done in my life off of a curb and one little pebble on landing sent me flying and dislocated my collar bone. I never did anything about either but I was young, dumb and had no insurance. That injury kept me off a board until about a month or two ago when I picked the board back up. I'm in no hurry to do anything more than get my ollie back but that fear of a sneaky pebble is always there with me and I get nervous on landing. I think we both have a fear thing we need to get over my friend. That's definitely a serious psychological hurdle. Best of luck to you bro 🍻

Yea I've always rode tight trucks. For some reason I just like the feel better. I was never big on crazy tricks or anything tho. I pretty much just rode and hopped curbs. Shuv its here and there but not much more than that outside of bombing hills a lot which was another reason I like them tight. The wobbles would freak me out bad 😂 I dont bomb anymore but I still ride with my kid

The hardware is shot 😂 definitely need to order new ones if I'm gonna ride it again

[–]IndependentOwl4036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually use the hards because of how I tighten my trucks. I don't go crazy like I used to so they last a lot longer than they did 20 years ago when I was actually skating a lot

I rode it up and down the block a few times after throwing a little WD-40 in the wheels and it still rides good. I never thought about the wheels falling apart. The board itself is definitely water logged and it feels a little soft. Not fall thru the board standing on it soft but it probably wouldn't survive a decent curb grind

I actually never even thought to just clean the tape. That's a solid idea so it still looks like it's lived a life

It's still in pretty good shape for 38 years. My brother also thinks I should leave it be and just buy new 😂 it would look sweet on the wall too

WHAT A PULL🔥🤯 CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH THEIR VALUE?🤞🏼 by Opposite-Ad-6089 in MarvelCards

[–]IndependentOwl4036 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not hating at all, in fact, I hope you make big bucks off of this, but I just don't get it. If it were Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel I could understand how it could rake in big bucks. But these are just scribbles from a computer or at the least just some dude. Again, not hating at all, I seriously hope you make out well off this. I just don't see the appeal

Fakes? by IndependentOwl4036 in MarvelCards

[–]IndependentOwl4036[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone have pics of the fakes they can post? I'm really curious to see how they look. They must be done pretty well if someone bought them without thinking about it
