The ‘I Used to Skate’ Guy

rollerblade

I'm sure we have all heard the “I used to skate” line at one time or another. This usually comes from a local cop who's busting you for skating, or from the guy who is trying to be “hip” and earn your respect. First off, does anyone ever care if you used to skate? Second, even if you've skated every day for the past 12 years, does anyone care about that?

That being said, the other day, this random bro comes up to Scott, (another fellow Active employee) and myself and says “I just got into skating again!” That was bad enough, but even worse, this dude was ruling a sweet pair of Roces rollerblades. Scott immediately skated away from the situation while this idiot rapped my ear off about how good he used to be, and how if he never would've quit he would be pro right now. No one wants to hear about how good you use to be, or what you used to be for that matter. The dude might as well have told me that he could have been a professional ass clown for all I cared.

So here's my advice, let this random “I used to skate” guy know how you feel. Tell him to stop talking about it, and be about it. Oh, and if it's a guy's on a pair of rollerblades, just sweep the leg, and when he hit's the ground yell, “I used to rule the octagon!”

    I used to have a life. Just kidding. I just saw five fruitbooters out in the parking lot, lacing up to go skate the etnies Jail of Lake Forest. I thought that she-ight was dead.

  26. Illegal Immigrant says:

    You will try and skate the rest of your life until you fall and hurt yourself so bad due to being old =\ me and my friends have the ” I used to skate guy” too he works the deli by our ledge but he is harmless just chills inside the store watching us til he decides to get up and make for the door as we make for the next spot in escape

  27. brenden says:

    I agree with TH thats right no one cares about those I used to skate **** also have the people who say that are either drunk or a cop who is yelling at me

  28. Illegal Immigrant says:

    Blader who calls people posers? Thats something the 12 year old kids at my school scream at eachother all day until school ends and they play skate using a shuv and maybe a few attempts at kickflips until they realize they have run out of tricks.

  29. BOOOOP says:

  30. B dog says:

    you dudes are totally right even though i used to skate my mom still tells people im really really good! but i am probably going to start up skating again soon but i have to wait for my ***** enlargement to heel because they had a misconception during there 17 hour opperation. and now there telling me i have a narrow urethra and i might not be able to make kids anymore and thats gay because my wifes and i were just going to try to have twins. but whatever you guys keep up your little hobble and i will see you on the flip side. PEACE!

  31. V-Stone says:

    pfft i know yall havnt heard of me but bladder you cant call everyone a poser when youre probably one yourself. but really nobody should say they used to skate. its either not skated or skated for lyfe, thats it man. skate or die!

  32. Illegal Immigrant says:

    Whoa whoa Emerica is a poser brand? Boooop what do you know about skateboarding? Emerica is an amazing shoe brand. And enough with the poser word! If only i could play you in SKATE then run off with your board after i slaughter you in it.

  33. Jackson says:

    Well first off not everyone is trying to say i used to be mr suave on a skateboard Theres way too many damn people to be thinkin that way. And were do the lines of conversation come into play?? I mean u may not care what another has to say bout how it use to be, but anyone that use to skate and knows what there talking bout should be respected even from a skateboarder.. I mean whos that much of an ass??? ooo yea you? ha
