SHARESkating has come a long way from what it was decades ago. No, we’re not talking about how people are now skating in their Dior 1s. We’re talking about the community that sprung from a subculture of misfits and a walking “violation against public safety” waiting to happen. Today, skaters have become part of mainstream …
I think I was in the sixth grade when I saw my neighbor being taught how to skate. I was fascinated by how they could get the skateboard off the ground. When they took a break, I asked if I could borrow the board and when I tried to do an ollie I fell and sprained my arm. I didn’t tell my parents about it, but from that moment, I knew I wanted to learn how to skate.Yes! When i started skating, I was always hyped to skate and be with the homies and learn new tricks. Now, I just do it for leisure.
Yes! It’s not that different. Skateboarding or skateboarders are actually welcoming regardless of your race, age or gender.The skate scene before was more relaxed because there were a bunch of spots where skaters can skate. Nowadays, you get kicked out of spots, sometimes you get your board confiscated by the tanod or the police. The skate scene before was definitely small compared to now, especially after Margielyn Didal rose to fame. Now, a lot of people want to learn how to skate.
There might be an increase but not that much. It’s still easier to bike as a commute [option] compared to using your skateboard because Cebu roads are rough.Have fun with it and just enjoy the process. Don’t get discouraged easily. It might take you a while to learn certain tricks but words can’t explain the feeling when you finally land them.My friends introduced me to skateboarding and I noticed how fun it was while watching them play, so I started skating too.
I have played skate with people from different parts of Cebu City. Both the north and south side, but not every spot has the same vibe. We treat our “spot” as our territory; some are very welcoming and would really play along with those who visit their spot. Some don’t really care and wouldn’t even like to share their obstacles to outsiders. But most of the time, they are really easygoing.Very different. Before it was pure fun, now, some newbies are kind of using skate to get girls.
