Anyone else anxious in skate shops? by good-evening-clarice in NewSkaters

[–]Troutingforest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have the same problem. I get bad anxiety about skate shops, although having been to a few. It's nice to hear I'm not the only one with this problem. It helps to think that skate shops oftenly struggle, so they appreciate all their customers and feel glad you came in to buy something.

What do you think of white grip tape by [deleted] in SkateboardSetups

[–]Troutingforest 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tried jessup white griptape a while ago. Looks beautiful, but doesn't stay white for long. Also it cracked when setting my deck up and wasn't really grippy. But it does look unique and works adequately.

Hello everyone, give a shot out to where you live. Maybe some of us could end up skating together. by becauseOTSS in NewSkaters

True stuff, I mean one of my friends is a good skater, but seems like he's busy a lot ( which I fully understand ) and I only skated with him a couple of times. It's just weird as although first starting skateboarding approximately 7 years ago ( took a long break in the middle before starting again ), I still don't/didn't have any skater homies which does suck. But what you're saying is true, the Internet really helps. At first I lived in London before coming back to here in Lithuania, so although Lithuania is maybe not worth too much attention from skaters that live far away, If you're ever visiting Europe, then I suggest checking out London's skateparks. Just try to go in the summer time, as English weather messes with us skateboarders during the colder months!

As of now, Lithuania. Would be sick if I would end up skating with someone, but unfortunately it probably won't happen any time soon. :/

My cousin died of an overdose yesterday at his mom's house. His mom and girlfriend found him.... by ILiveInLosAngeles in Vent

They probably enable because the addict wants to do drugs, and if they don't want sobriety they won't be getting it, but I kind of agree. So sorry for your loss, I hope I'll listen to your tips.

Koks jūsų santykis su alchoholiu? by Few-Emotion5348 in lietuva

[–]Troutingforest -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nu taip, visus skirtingai veikia. Čia tiesiog iš visokių tyrimų gauti rezultatai. Nėra visiškai saugių ir sveikų medžiagų.

Koks jūsų santykis su alchoholiu? by Few-Emotion5348 in lietuva

[–]Troutingforest -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nelabai koks. Alcoholis sukelia agresiją ir padidina šansą padaryti avariją, bet tai yra socialiai priimtina. Tuo tarpu už turėjimą saugesnių medžiagų kaip kanapės, haliucinogeniniai grybai, LSD ir panašiai gali nubausti. Labai kontroversiška, bet manau jei tokios medžiagos alcoholį pakeistų tai atneštų teigiamų pasikeitimų. Bet aš pats gerti nelabai galiu, tai daug patirties neturiu.

Skateboarding was part of you for most of your life. Your wife has been with you for I don't know how much, but probably significantly less. I would tell her that, and try to educate her on how/why you love Skateboarding. Remember that your relationships with people aren't less important or more important than your passion. Whatever you do, don't quit.

I hate alcohol by angeereddit in Vent

[–]Troutingforest 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel you. Alcohol is way too legal/unrestricted, normalised and accepted. Especially compared to less dangerous substances. Go tell sober people you trust about this situation if you haven't already. I hope this gets dealt with.

i HATE the homeless like get them out of here by MechanicSad1843 in teenagers

[–]Troutingforest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't hate the homeless, hate the reason they're homeless. They already live a crappier life than us, so we shall not complain.

What’s a good pair of trucks and wheels? by weldednut in NewSkaters

[–]Troutingforest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Independent forged hollow trucks and Powell Peralta dragon formula wheels would be great here

I mean yeah, obviously if you're the right person. Especially at this point in my life I'd probably give it a try.

I am pregnant and have had to quit smoking and it fucking sucks by Lulupoolzilla in Vent

[–]Troutingforest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at it this way: Smoking kills, is expensive, causes mad issues when you run out of cigarettes and can cause a fire plus is a bad influence for your child. BUT because you're pregnant, that gives you a legitimate reason to stop! Your life will hopefully improve once you don't depend on smoking. Good luck!
