Question #1:
This is a very wierd situation...?
Ok... me and my friend are really into skating. We're pretty tight too. My friend cares more about his boards than anything else... literally. So about a year ago me and my friend are skating and my other friend was fixing up my board, so I ask to use his... i try to do a trick and as i go to land it, the board slips out from under my feet and under a car which I didn't see coming. The car ran over the skateboard and it was not usable anymore. My friend hasn't been mad at me about it until about 2 weeks ago... now he is demanding money for his wrecked board and his "wrecked computer" which I have never touched. I told him I'm not going to pay him back for it and if that happened to me I would just let it go. He said that either I would cough up the dough for a new Baker skateboard with Thunder trucks and Baker wheels, or he would snap my new board or break my $750 Gibson guitar. And to sum it all up like I said earlier THIS WAS A YEAR AGO. Tell me what i should tell him / or do.I dont want my parents getting into this and i dont have any freakin money!
Question #2:

For y English homework I have to write an essay on why there should be skateparksI have 3 reasons
The obvious one- to skateboard, ride bikes etc.
2- a place to socialize , and hang out
3- so place where teens can be instead of wondering around the streets
I've done a paragraph on theforst reason. But i don't know how to write 5 sentences on the other two :/ help please?
10points for the first person to write like 3 sentences each for the 2nd and 3rd reasons . I'll try and put it in my own words and finish it off
Question #3:
Have you ever mistaken the sound of a backpack-on-wheels for an approaching skateboard?
Question #4:
Are you always a perfect vegan?
I'm not vegan yet (i've been a vegetarian for 2 years), but i share the same views and when i do become fully vegan, i worry about being perfect. I mean, i don't like to wear animals but i just figured out that my DC running/skateboarding shoes are made out of leather. The worst thing to do is throw them out because of this, but i feel very bad wearing them. Or what if i go to a resuturant and realize there's nothing to eat, so i order a salad but i don't know what's in the dressing.. how do i know? Do i just eat/go along with whatever because i'm doing a lot as it is?Are you always a perfect vegan?
Question #5:
My Brother got me a heaps bad present for my birthday?
He got me a skateboard with no brand at all.. I don't want to ride a board with no brand. What should I do?Question #6:
Maintaining muscle after an accident?
I hurt my ankle real bad and didnt walk on it for about a year, and im trying to regain the strength i had before i hurt my ankle. With my current work hours i get to skateboard maybe once a week, but it feels like i never progress physically, or never feel the same way as light on my feet as i did before. I can notice a lot of the muscles in my legs are smaller, and arent growing. I feel like im skating how i always have..How do i get all the strength back and feel like i did prior to hurting my ankle? and maintain it? do i need to skate atleast 2 times a week?
Question #7:
backpack/skateboarding question?
hey, i know this is gonna sound stupid, but are the straps w/ buckles on backpacks for skateboards? cause that's what i use them for, and it works pretty well.Question #8:
i skateboard and my shoe is getting really ripped up, what do i do to make it last?
these are new shoesQuestion #9:
Help me with skateboard sizing? Tall.?
Hey. So, I used to skate when I was 15-16, wasn't that great, but I could ollie and drop in and such. Anyway, I've been riding a longboard around campus for the last year, but lately I've been thinking it might be fun to get a shortboard again, but I'm not sure of what size to get since I'm a bit taller than average. I'm 6'3 and 200 lbs, size 13 mens shoe. I doubt I'll be landing any ridiculous flip tricks any time soon, so I wouldn't mind a wider board, I just don't know anything about board sizing.Also, I'm not looking to drop a lot of cash since I might go back to the longboard once I get frustrated from sucking at the shortboard. I was looking on CCS and this board is pretty cheap ($60) and the description says something about being designed for beginners. What do you think?

Question #11:
Ideas on teen bedroom?
I'm a 13 year old girl & I'm going to be moving soon & I haven't redecorated my room since I was 7.I'm getting really tired of my room right now. So, I was hoping maybe you guys can give me some ideas on what I should do with it.
I'm not totally into the theme thing. But, I don't know what to do.
My favorite colors are black, white & red. But I'm really getting into green & blue.
Music is my #1 passion. I know how to play the guitar, the piano, & the drums.
I also love skateboarding & photography. I also have a lot of band posters I haven't used yet.
Any ideas?
Please, please, please!
Thanks (:
Question #12:
im thirteen, how high should i ollie on a skateboard at my age? (read second question also please)?
i'm just really trying to get into skateboarding and stick with it, i am getting a little air on ollies and i know exactly how to do it but i just need to know how much air i should get before attempting anything else like kickflips. also, i'm having trouble just like...proccessing it in my mind that i need to slide my foot forward (i am getting a lot better though) but the real problem i think is bending my legs as high as possible to boost the ollie as high as possible, will my mind just eventually automatically tell me to do so or will i have to really concentrate? Sorry, i guess it's actually 2 questions then. =PQuestion #13:
should i get a longboard or a skateboard?
which is easier to ride? which is easier to balance on? which is easier to turn? (i'm not looking to do tricks, im just looking for something to ride around)Question #14:

Question #15:
Skateboarding early in the morning?
Does anyone else ever get up early in the morning to skate? I get up at 5:00am go down my street where their are no houses skate for an hour, then go back shower and go to school. Anyone else do this?Question #16:
Why do girls think being friends with boys and having boys as best friends is "wierd"?
I just want some opinion:I read those magazines for teens, like M and Tiger Beat, every so often. One article, from a couple months ago in one of those magazines, was about boys, and how to be friends with them. I got so mad, because I hang out with all boys at school, and my first best friend was a boy. We met in PRESCHOOL. But for some odd reason, girls find it strange to be friends with boys. To some girls, the only way they'll be friends with a boy is if their they're boyfriend. Girls my age think of boys as just "hot", or "cute". Some even get nervous around boys. A boy is human, just like a girl is, and in the article there was a space for the comments from girls online. Most of the comments were like these:
"Boys are gross. All they do is fart, burp and skateboard!"
"Girls are WAAAAY easier to be friends with, 'cause you can't talk about crushes with a boy, and you can't talk make-up, clothes, girls probs, and other girlie stuff with a boy!"
"Girls rock! Boys just sleep and eat. They are so BORING!"
That second one drives me crazy. You can talk anything with a boy, right? As long as you trust that boy. If you can trust a friend that's a girl, you can trust a friend that's a boy. Boys and girls are different in many ways, yet, they are so similar, too.
Please leave your opinion! I don't care; I just want a different perspective of this topic!
