ASRA - Australian Skateboard Racing Association

The other day my friends and I had all our boards stacked up in the school office for safekeeping, and mine was on top of the pile. I went into the office to get something from my teacher's desk and there was this sketchy shortboarder kid sitting in there near our boards, on detention or something. Next time I go in, the kid's gone and so is one of my damn bigzigs. Turns out he stole it and chucked it on his way out of school that afternoon.

It's been found and returned now with minimal damage, but it still pisses me off.
The guy did it purely because he doesn't like longboarders.
Anyone else have this problem where they live?

Just ignore the fuckers.
If they don't want to have a positive attitude towards longboarding, then they're the ones who are missing out.
The way I deal with pricks like that is flick them off,

It annoys them, and just before they go to fight they realise that are weak, little and skinny prick's that cant even fucking short board, they then run away and go cut themselves.
Jesus Christ, guys. The way people tend to stray farther and farther from societal norms of behaviour is through positive reinforcement of negative actions and opinions. You enjoy doing something, so you begin associating with groups of people who also enjoy doing the same thing. The problem is, with humans being something very closely akin to a pack animal, you also inherit the group's worldview through cultural osmosis. Any individual in a group has a decent chance of absorbing the group's chipped shoulder and hurt feelings.

The way you people are talking on here is the same way the extremist members of any group behave. We have instincts that drive us towards these behaviours, but you're all gifted with sentience. You can see beyond it.

Stop being 'that guy'. Go outside and have some fun.

Like I said, I try to get along with these guys. I like street skating. I even went and bought a board, even if I had to sell it to afford my zigs...

Also, they've recently started calling us the "Forever Young Kids" with "Forever Young boards" (based on the music video for Youth Group's version of "Forever Young"). So every time a guy walks past us with a shortboard in his hands laughing at us, our crew sings Forever Young as loud as we can. It's really not a bad song.
Highly doubt he has one or could get one.

and start hitting on his girlfriend...

probobly the best move
go one better and just hit on his mum
The general public are more of an issue than shortboarders. Had some drugged up looking fella throw and a small log at me just the other day (he can't have been to drugged up cos he managed to hit me). With some comment along the lines of 'f**king skaters'
It's all going to turn around when downhill skateboard racing is first into the Olympics - all the street riders are going to scream murder then - I will be the first doing the 'pmsl' big time. In a few short years downhill ( from tight slalom thru to speedboard and luge ) have organised themselves into an extremely credible WC international sports circuit, encompassing a lot more pro riders from a lot more countries, than the rest of the disciplines of skateboarding. Watch out what happens next..

POST NOTE : ASRA are cutting edge and are a major asset to our Australian race scene and our future, If your not a paid up member then 'pay up' and join now ! Without ASRA we have NO events and they deserve our support ( $$$ ). See you all at Newton's
im pretty kool with it and the only skaters that are like this are the 9 to 13 year old grommies that wear "their sisters pants" and spend hours on their hair. i have chatted with alot of these guys and they respect longboarders. i was even riding the bowl on my hellcat the otherday and even the grommies were in awe, theyl understand one day. but i like the idea of taking out the outside bearing haha
