looks nice. our indoor skatepark is being rebuild (5-7 months closed now) and tomorrow its open again with new stuff<3 hope its been worth waiting for it :x
actually rollerblades got more style than these kids (skaters).
but if it comes to being cool skaters are ofc top noch: look like they craped their pants, spend whole day in the streets like a bum and other good stuff such as listening to nigger music, banging skater chicks (called "emos" for normal peeps) and breaking your bones while falling of a piece of wood.

its so cool to be poor!
sounds like your skater chick (emo) got banged by some skater, gay rollerblader
Parent
cauz u can tell mister internetz
Parent
you wouldn't believe how much such a piece of wood costs then... xD
Parent

Parent

Also, I tried blading once (was doing hockey at the time) and still got my roces somewhere :F

Parent
Cool, nice to see more skaters on here !!
That 1/4 in that one video where you were doing 5-0 and crooks on the box looks well sketchy :D
Parent
haha thanks, Just looked your pictures and I liked them alot! I just started photographin aswell, bought my camera like month ago, Canon EOS 500D and sum normal 18 - 55 kit in it.

What camera are you using? and what lens :--)?

got any tips for a noob like meh!? I like to take skatephotos.
Parent
Kiitos : )
My main camera is a 40D and only got 3 lens left now, so sigma 10-20mm, sigma 105mm macro and canon 50mm f1.8.
Haven't done too much skate stuff as I try to concentrate on wildlife.

Not too much tips I can give on it as I experiment with diff settings all the time, try keep a reasonable shutter speed to freeze the shot (unless you wanna try some panning techniques) so try get as high shutter as you can without getting noise but still having a nice aperture.
Stick it at 18mm, iso 200 f/9 (adjust depending on lighting) and try some high speed shoots :PP

I've only got a few pics
