i had a fro back in the day for awhile to look like one of my favorite skaters.
And yes i can teach you how to ollie, manual, carve, pump a bowl etc.
^100% this..i moved away from street skating for tranny. A board would last for months . Depending on the surface of the ramps you were likely to flat spot a wheel or a truck before breaking your board. I never skated full size pipe cause dangerous af...but i had some pretty good tricks i brought from street to ramp.
My biggest achievement on the 6 foot was probably throwing a frontside 360 barely over the coping...no grab. Skaters should know how hard this is. I started really embracing the oldschool "thrasher" pool mentality ...started tossing in reverts focusing on style instead of difficulty .
Ya'll dont know beauty till you see someone lay down a boned out front feeble stall with style.
