Had some terrific times on a bmx roadtrip. I got a flat and cut out but my friends went into downtown San Diego. They went to get lunch and got the bike lock to the truck bed clipped. Left my bike because the flat tire.

Do skaters of old reminiscence of old signature decks like mfbs might about the frames of dudes in the late 90s early 2000s? 

[Aesop Rock]

Yes. Totally. There is a huge subculture in collecting vintage skateboard decks that were popular in the days of old.

Interesting. I spent a week in California and loved it. The grass is always greener I guess.

My moms side of the family is from here so I have a bunch of fam in westchester and perkessy? Dublin and fairmount in the city. Been here countless times but it's still sick to stay out here in the summer. Where are you?

[Narcoleptic Insomniac]

I'm in New Jersey which around where I live isn't that different from PA. I also go to Philly/southeastern PA a lot. But yeah, California is awesome or at least San Diego which is where I went. Lets trade houses.

Have any of you guys ever felt stuck in the position you are in? It feels shite

[Prodigal Son]

Hahahaha you want to talk about stuck? I've spent the last decade investing all my efforts in growing orchids. I can't stand the dude that owns the greenhouses. I am not making a hyperbole when I saw investing all my time. I have had pictures and plants I've only specialized published in books, magazines, but given credit to the company instead. I'm on point and know my shit but get shut down with wrong information being denigrated in the process. Then when presented with correct information reject it out of pride.

I'm struggling what to do and where to go.

Billy, you have a wife and a baby. You're about as stuck as it gets mate.

I'm fully ok with that, we've been together since we were 13 so that's all we know. Just trying to figure out how I am going to provide them with a nice life and get our own place is stressful.

It's hard for me to put this into words on here but I'll give you a little insight to my predicament. Southcoast Cabinet is the company I work for, first job and have been here 3 years. I've picked things up very fast and have been a supervisor/ lead/ department manager for a little over a year now. I run our newest department which is rigid thermofoil. Anyways i make good money compared to the other shop guys but not compared to the world outside. ($20hr..started at 10)

 My dad is the president of the company and i don't know where I go from here. I feel as if I'm going to just be stuck here doing what I'm doing as time goes on just because I can't screw over my dad by leaving. It also doesn't help that all my friends make a lot better money than I do.

Sorry for the rambling but for perspective the houses around me are $450k+ and I need to figure out how to get into one of dem by 25. I'm only 20.

More than you would think.





I don't own them anymore as I cashed out to go back to bmx when my knees decided that skateboarding was no longer fun for them.  Bought an engagement ring for the ex, paid off two credit cards, and bought a new bmx a piece at a time.  That was six years and two redheads ago.

I feel stuck too. Right way is wrong, the wrong way is wrong. What do you do?

[Mychaylo]

Take the wrong way and make it right dude.
