[size=2][color=magenta]I pushed the button several times, but nothing happened. Then it dawned on me- I took the NOS out a week ago![/color] Me: Ok, time to make some noise. [color=magenta]I turned the music up again to make sure it was maxed out, then maxed bass and put treble to the middle. I looked over at Trix again to see her face. She looked serious. All of a sudden there was a popping noise, and the engine died. I started flipping switched. Trix was pulling away?there we go! The engine kicked back in, and the engine shot up. I pushed the gas pedal down so hard it almost went through the floor, and the car shot forward. I saw Trix?s face in the side view mirror. But it was too late. I shot up next to her ,and started turning around the slight bend. Trix didn?t notice it until I almost slammed into her, and she lost speed. It was going to be a close one?.[/color] We came all the way around the bend ad almost slammed into some parked cars. I looked behind me to see what it was, and it was the cops! I looked at Trix and nodded. She took off, while I spun around like a caged animal. I stopped and started revving my engine, like a cat growling. The cops started after Trix, but saw I was the ?easer? kill, and turned towards me. Big mistake.

[size=2][color=magenta]To me, everything was crawling. I had more than enough time to glance over to Trix in the hypnotic Ford Lightning, time to turn the music up to full by hand, time to check the system stats. Everything was normal, for the speed we were going. I don?t know about her, but I was pushin 145 when we got to the mile marker.[/color] Over 2 miles a minute. Hot damn. [color=magenta]This was the moment, the moment of ecstasy that happened when the car was fine. Before it screwed up. Before I screwed up.[/color] [center][color=black]Flash-back[/color][/center] [center][/center] [color=magenta]IT was a random pick-up race in La. IT had nothing to do with pre Street Wars games, just an exhibition race. Standard 1/4th mile, but the Escudo started turnin on it?s own when I shot off. No prob, steerin?s out. I can handle it, I do it all the time. Then things got worse. I lost total control, swerving and blowing all types of speed. Then we got to the last intersection before the end. I was barely holding on, and the opponent was catching. I didn?t get his name-no need. Two cars pulled out, a Honda Element and a Ford Focus. He swerved to miss me, and slammed into the Focus, both cars flying. I, looking at the wreck and not the road, slammed into a Honda Civic, then a light pole. It blew the car, but I won.[/color] I won. But whoop. It was downhill from there. The Escudo didn't win. My Sister let me drive her Ferari since mine hadn't been fixed. [center][color=magenta]End Flashback[/color][/center] [center][/center] I looked at the stats one more time, then pushed a button with the label: GBG [color=magenta]Go Baby Go, AKA NOS.[/color] [size=1][font=Century Gothic]_[color=#ff00ff]-[/color][color=black]N[/color][color=#ff00ff]a[/color][color=black]t[/color][color=#ff00ff]e[/color][color=black]-[/color][color=#ff00ff]_[/color][/font][/size] [/size]

[size=2][color=magenta]I shifted to neutral and started revving the engine, the car keeping it?s speed until I turned. I then shifted back to 2nd gear, clutch moving smoothly. We got to the edge of the canal. I aimed up the jump floored it, showing off. I hit the edge of the canal, then shot over the backs, landing smoothly on the other side of the water. I spun it around, then drove through the water slowly, going to the parade. Spray lines were already put down to mark the beginning and ending of the course standard and endurance course.[/color] Me: Standard or endurance, everybody? [color=magenta]Everybody yelled out endurance. The difference was that standard was your ordinary 1/4th mile track, while endurance was a 1 ½ mile track. Much more fun. I looked at my built-in lap-top, checking engine stats. Everything was normal. Sometimes the water was higher than normal or splashed up into the engine, cooling it a lot.[/color] We lined up. It was time to race.

[size=2]OOC; I confer. Oh, and two things about the skating thing: 1) You don?t Bs or FS a smith. You don?t turn while doing it, so no bs and fs. 2) Hitting the rail is when your board comes out from under you and each foots wants to visit the ground on different sides. Very painful. [color=magenta]IC: I thought for a second, then took my hand out my back pocket.[/color] ME: I hate this habit. It?s gay. [color=magenta]Trix: If you say so.[/color] Me: You wanted me, or was it a dating call? [color=magenta]Trix: Keep wishing.[/color] Me: you know it?s true?just admit it. Front or back? [color=magenta]Trix: Huh?.*I snicker*?oh. Neither.[/color] I shook my head. She knew I liked her. Shit, I dated her until the gangs split us. It was kinda funny to see her face some times, I swear. [color=magenta]Me: Sure. Wanna race?[/color] [color=black]Trix: No, but if you want to.[/color] [color=magenta]I pulled my keyring out, and grabbed a remote clipped to it. I pushed mute and yelled,[/color] [color=black]Me: Who wants to race!?[/color] [color=magenta]A dozen hands shot up?[/color] [color=magenta]_[/color]-[color=magenta]N[/color]a[color=magenta]t[/color]e[color=magenta]-[/color]_ [/size]

[size=2][color=magenta]I pulled up to El Casa Del Gato right as the skaters came, so I turned Dream Theatre up to full blast, then opened all the doors. I grabbed my Darkstar, the went out. The music flooded the area as I rolled towards them. I did a Nollieflip underflip to their amazement. I slid the tail across the ground, then planted my front foot and used my back foot to fling the board into the air. It came down in my hands and the kids applauded.[/color] Me: Sup posers. Naw, just kiddin. *smile* Any of yall good skaters? [/size][color=magenta]Mikoto: I am.[/color] [size=2]Me: Well, let?s see what you can do. Follow me if you want the best skate spot on LA. [color=magenta]I dropped my board and rolled away. The one kid looked at Mikoto before he took off, then looked to another kid.[/color] Kid: Let?s follow them. [color=magenta]The left El Casa De Gato, leaving my car thumpin in the drive-way.[/color] Me: Way off in the distance, I saw a door. [color=magenta]Kid: I tried to open![/color] Me: I tried forcing with all my will, but still, the door wouldn?t open. [color=magenta]Kid: Unable to trust In my faith I turned[/color] Me: And walked away. I looked around, found a chill in the air took my will, and tuned in over [color=magenta]Kid: The glass prison that once held me-[/color] Me: Is gone. *We both paused, not knowing the next line* *screaming* I fell down on my knees and prayed [color=magenta]Kid: Thy will be done. I turned around, saw the light shinin through[/color] Me: The door waaas?.wiiide?open. You know this song? I thought I was the only person in the world that listened to Dream Theatre. [color=magenta]Kid: Your wrong.[/color] Mikoto: Let?s get to the place! [color=magenta]ME: Ok! Let?s go.[/color] I rolled up to a ledge, nollied up and landed in a dark slide. I came off in the middle, but the board didn?t come with me. It broke as it hit the ground, shattering into two pieces. I knew I never should have left Element to ride Darkstar?

[size=2][color=magenta]OOC: 1) I hear ya, sister.[/color] 2) Italics is thinking. [color=magenta]IC: I was looking at the money when I got an idea. I put the money back in my pocket and walked to the Escudo, turning the music back on. A friend had left the jack out, so I lifted the front end, emergency brakes holding the back wheels as steady as a surgeon?s hands. I worked all through the night, going through 6 rock cds. At 5 I finally finished, un-jacking the car. I washed my hands and sat down in the Escudo, smiling.[/color] Me: [i]I think I have this down? [/i][color=magenta]I started the engine, and pulled out of the garage and into the street, car shaking to Linkin Park?s ?PPR: KUT? on the Reanimation cd. The gas pedal went down with ease and I shot to the interstate.[/color] Me: Time for some engine testing, then I?m off to Trix?s place. [color=magenta]I could barely hear myself as the car shook to a bass blast.[/color] [color=#ff00ff][/color] [color=#ff00ff][color=black]_[/color]-[color=black]N[/color]a[color=black]t[/color]e[color=black]-[/color]_[/color] [/size]

[size=2][color=purple]*announcer voice* Attention please, may I have your attention please. Will the one true skater here please stand up?[/color] [color=darkorchid]*stands up* I?m Nate, the neighborhood shreader and general psycho soldier right here. So, your wondering about sizes on the deck, trucks, and wheels? Decks are between 8.25(biggest widthwise) to 7.5(whoever came up with this should be shot). The second number is the width size, don?t worry about that. It?s the smaller number that is important. Trucks should come within ¼? of the deck width, so that you can generally see the wheels but don?t look like a turtle (I?m thinking of old-school right now, lol). The wheel size has nothing to do with the deck and truck size, but the diameter has stuff to do with?a lot of stuff, lol. Wheels go from around 49mm to 63mm, give or take a mm either way. IF it is under around 53mm, you don?t need a riser pad, though I would use one anyway. There is no way in the world of skateboarding you can have wheelbite (wheel hitting the deck and stopping the board while you go flying-very bad on vert and extreme {I keep thinking of Danny Way flying on the mega ramp}). If you are using between 53mm and 57mm, you should probably use a riser pad, but it isn?t absolutely necessary-If you are doing soft corners and very little direct downward pressure on the board, you?ll be fine. Anything above 57mm can?t be done without a riser pad; you can?t even put the wheel on (of course I think anything above about 59mm is insane, but your choice).[/color] [color=purple]I think that pretty much answers your question, if you need help, post here again or pm me.[/color] [color=darkorchid])\( @ T 3[/color] [color=purple][/color] [color=purple]EDIT: And I noticed, you said you were new and you wanted to build a board. I would say, go to [/color][url="http://www.ccs.com"][color=purple]www.ccs.com[/color][/url][color=purple] and go to their skateshop, and go to preassembled one, and get one from there. That way you know everything will fit everything, until you learn the stuff better.[/color] [/size]

[QUOTE=callmegoddess04]Bored? Cloud, babe, she runs a whole forum, okay? [/QUOTE]Yea, that sucks. Banned the best mod on the site*coughmecough* for something I didn't do. I like to be a mod because...well..I just do. I look up to the mods and want to be like them. I hate to see bad posts and love to see the secret forums that I didn't know where there unitl now. I know I make mistakes, like thiknign, etc. And no I, it's usually i. But I do try and I usually edit to fix it. And English? I hate english. Give me the universial language of music and I'm happy. Sure, I'd love to be a mod but I don't think I'm ever active on a board long enough between lapses that it would be worth it(I seem to stay on alot when i have an rpg going). I think the only way I could be active on a board like this would be if it had a skateboarding forum. If that was in here..I'd be on every second I could. _-Nate-_

SKATEBOARDING! The most extreme thing in life that is a poser sport, in my opinion. To me, not only is in a thrill to jump a few stairs, it's great exercise. If I don't sakte for a few days, my leg muscles get weak, but once i get back to it, I get all my strength back. Another is BMX. Great sport, awesome tricks, and sick videos. Who ever decided to put a metal peg on the screw that holds the wheels, I want to shake his hand and give him a million dollars. No doupt, he probably has a million dollrs, but still. _-Nate-_

[size=2][i]Shinobi looked at the camera innocently, then disappeared and reappeared after kicking the camera, breaking it.[/i] [b]Shinobi:[/b] Screw being normal. Screw Lawrence III. I don?t care about him. He knows I have Lugia. But nothing can get it from me. [i]Shinobi pulled out two cd players, tossing one to Nate[/i]. [b]Shinobi:[/b] You forgot it. [b]Nate:[/b] Thanks. [i]Shinobi put his back up, but Nate turned it on and put in a Kansas cd, ?All are not the same? with the London Symphony Orchestra playing with them.[/i] [b]Shinobi:[/b] what now? [i]Nate shrugged, and they both looked at Hope and David.[/i] OOC: I got that cd, it rocks. [/size]

[size=2]OOC: *cough*I am back. Jon, keep the mew. [i]Shinobi returned Umbreon right as Trilligoden was about to hit him.[/i] [b]Shinobi:[/b] See ya! [i]Shinobi turned and dashed off to where he last saw Hope, David, and the others. He saw nothing. Shinobi thought for a second and then concentrated. He opened his eyes and snapped his fingers. He knew where they were. He started floating, and dived into the water. He swan through the tunnel and came up to the top of the water, then climbed out.[/i] [b]Shinobi:[/b] What happened? [b]Hope:[/b] Celebi helped us find him. Jake was gonna kill Aurora. [b]Shinobi:[/b] You didn?t have to do that, you know. [b]Jack:[/b] Huh? [i]Shinobi looked at him, smiling, then disappears. He appears behind him, arm around his neck. He looks at Jack for a second, then lets go and pushes him away.[/i] [b]Shinobi:[/b] Gotta do stuff the hard way when you know short distances drain Celebi. OOC: Takuya, stop playing mod, please. If there?s a problem, me or Flora will fix it. I?ll be posting a lot more now, I got some free time and a bunch of rock cds ^__^ [/size]

[size=2]Shinobi: Charizard, use Fire Wheel! Charizard flew into the air and turned to face Trilligoden. He raised his head and a huge ring of flame came around him. Charizard spun around, and the flame wheel shot off towards Trilligoden. It hit him square in the face, but did very little damage. Shinobi: great, it must be ground. Return, Charizard! Get out there! Shinobi tossed a new pokeball out and a cat came out, sleek black except for yellow rings around it?s tail and ears. Shinobi: Umbreon, time for you to fight! [b]Grace:[/b] Trilligoden, you know what to do! [i]Trilligoden nodded, then opened it?s mouth. A yellow beam formed in it?s mouth, and it grew until it couldn?t fit. It launched out of Trilligoden?s mouth and shot towards Umbreon. Umbreon darted out of the way and chuckled it it?s own way. Then, the beam started to turn. It did a full 180° and shot off towards Umbreon again. He darted out of the way, and the beam started to circle around Trilligoden. It started making smaller and smaller circles, until it hit Trilligoden. His body began to glow a bright yellow, then he roared. The yellow glow became a beam, shooting in every direction. Umbreon was hit, and flew backwards. He landed on his feet, though, and took off towards Trilligoden.[/i] [b]Shinobi:[/b] Feint Attack! [i]Umbreon faded in and out of view, then disappeared completely. He reappeared right in front of Trilligoden, slamming into his chest. Trilligoden flew backwards and landed on it?s side. He stood up and dusted himself off, then charged towards Umbreon.[/i] [/size]

[size=2][i]Nate took off towards Shinobi and Hope, stopping only briefly to make sure Grace was coming. Nate ran up and jumped into Shinobi?s arms, almost knocking him over.[/i] [b]Grace:[/b] Not so fast. Get back here! [b]Shinobi:[/b] Who the hell is that? [b]Nate:[/b] She said somebody wanted me, and she was gonna sell me to him. [b]Shinobi:[/b] Oh yea? [i]Grace dropped a pokeball, and out came a pokemon nobody in the group had seen before. It looked like a dragon, but it had three heads, and two horns on each head. It let out a roar as it turned to look at Grace.[/i] [b]Shinobi:[/b] It has white eyes?Hope...what?s up with that pokemon? [b]Hope[/b]: Later. [b]Grace:[/b] Meet my Trilligoden. Never seen this beauty before, eh? [b]Nate:[/b] Oh yea? Syther can beat that. [b]Shinobi:[/b] Nate, let me do this. *Grace laughs* What?bring it hoe. [b]Grace:[/b] Oh no you didn?t?Trilligoden?fight mode now! [i]The sleek black dragon began to glow bright white, and it?s body began to shift to a human-like one. It looked like Kanghaskan, but it had two horns on it?s head and a horn on it?s stomach. It stopped glowing, and went back to a sleek black color.[/i] [b]Nate:[/b] It just evolved. [b]Grace:[/b] No, you ignorant fool. It morphed! [i]Shinobi called out Charizard, and the fight began?[/i] [/size]
