Since we spend most of our time in the streets, we have to strive to set a good example and thus to change minds about our community.Īnother thing, don’t try to look like a Thrasher skater, or a Piss Drunk skater. Today in 2020, skaters are still often associated with a rebellious image and representing a “menace” to society… Well, I may be exaggerating by saying that we are perceived as a menace, rather say that we are not the most appreciated in our cities. Attitude of the skater poser Seek to be a Thrasher Skateboarder The boards and components of the skateboard are very sensitive to water. Skateboarding in the rain… Except if you may have an old board to get around in any weather, a skateboarder never uses his skateboard in the rain. We would prefer to have the laces properly made to keep perfectly our feet in the shoes. You might think that a skater never has these laces securely fastened, but it’s quite the opposite. Unlaced shoes are also a sign of a good poser. When he does, we can see his board is worn in unlikely places! What do I mean? Well it can happen that a poser scratches his board on the sidewalks or on the ground, just to make it look like he has done slides or grinds with it! The poser does not use his board, or very little. Hardware that is always new or used unusually These people do not enter into the magnificent posers category.Īnyway, if you meet people with a street deck held in Mall Grab, this might not be the right person to propose a session or a Game of skate. There are obviously riders who are not immersed in the world of freestyle skateboarding (or street skateboarding), or for example people with cruisers or longboards, who only use their skate to get around. Preferably on the side of the wood, so as not to damage your clothes with the friction of the griptape). (While generally, a skateboard is carried by holding it in the middle, on your sides. But no problem for the posers, as it is possible that this part of their skate may never have touched the ground. Which generally is the dirtiest part of the skate, full of wax, dust and other grime. The Mall Grab consists of carrying your skateboard by the board’s truck. It means, not knowing how to use a skateboard and perhaps for some of them, having never ridden on it. The origin of the word comes from young people who used to go out in the malls, with a skate just for style. Let’s get to the heart of the matter right away… The Mall Grab! This is the poser’s favorite trick…. Style and hardware of the skater poser The Mall Grab
