My Newest Baby

Yup. Just bought it. Its the enjoi Wieger Van Wageningen "Red Light District" pro model. Its a size 8.25. Its gripped with black Jessup grip. I've got my trusty Tensor Magnesium Response trucks and my favorite wheels, my size 51mm Bones STFs on Bones Reds bearings. Orgasm. Hope it skates well. I love the graphic so much, I kind of don't want to skate it!

A hard day.

Yup. Its a symbol that I did work.

Shit my bad!

Followers, if I had any at the moment, I apologize. I left you hanging. I didn't blog yesterday. I promised a picture of the little gap I found. Here it is!
Anyway, nothing really to talk about except for the death of my good friend, Toy Machine. He's dead. I will post a picture tomorrow because its raining and I don't want to go outside. I put him out of his misery today. The tail was peeling away, so on a nice heelflip, I bid him a'deux. Or however you spell it. And now it is time to bit you guys a'deux. For now. Peace!

Surprising

Uh, I didn't get kicked out of anywhere today! HOLY SHIT!


Alright, well today (27 July, 2011) was kind of a day for just me. Yesterday, I had made plans with my friends Peter and Gabe. Peter was supposedly going to film and me and Gabe were going to do our thing.
This did not turn out the way we had planned.
I woke up at 10 expecting Peter to get to my "humble abode" at around 11, but it turned out he would have to get to my house at 10:30. My first thoughts were, "CRAP. I have to get ready quick!" But as soon as I thought that, my doorbell had rung. So I answered the door and took Peter to my basement. I took a quick 15 minute shower and got dressed as fast as I could. At the moment I got out of the bathroom, down came Gabe! So after 10 minutes of joking around in my basement about how he was a Mormon, we decided to warm up in my driveway. After a good session, we were off to the mall. Five feet away from my house though, something stupid happened. Gabe lost his left truck nut. So instead of going straight to some spots, we went to Zumiez to get him another nut. Steve, the manager, saw how badly fucked up Gabe's trucks were, and decided to just buy him a whole new set with a gift card he had. Gabe got a pair of these (Gabe's new trucks) nice Royal Evolution Black/Anodized Gold trucks. We spent an hour trying to take off one (JUST ONE)of the nuts from Gabe's old Thunders. It had slipped of the thread and was just turning in circles. It pissed us off. So we switched off the trucks after it finally came off. And we were off! We skated down to Sleepy's to rewarm up, because we had spent an entire 2 hours at Zumiez. We didn't get anything good to film, so we went to BK for lunch. By the time we had left it was already 2 PM on the east coast of the U.S.ofA. We kept going down the boulevard to find more spots. Surprisingly, we went behind a Waldbaum's and found a nice do-able dirt gap. (I will upload a picture tomorrow when I go back) It took me a couple of tries, but I was able to do it, no problem at all. We didn't get any footage of that, but I'll be sure to get a couple of videos tomorrow. Promise. Other than this, there really wasn't anything special that we did today.

Got any boring stories? Leave a comment! I'll follow you if I enjoy it! Or just follow me, then I'll follow back. PEACE!

Another Good Story (and yes, it involves racism)

Alright, so the same day as the security guard incident, my homies (Robert and Gabe) and I walked on to get some lunch at Burger King™. As we were sitting there, eating our BK Stackers©, a thick bodied African-American man walked in. We truly would not have noticed him if it weren't for his full McDonald's™ uniform. Anyway, we had a laugh about the irony, and after eating, Gabe said his stomach hurt. Rob agreed and said it was because he had eaten so much. I decided to be a racist fuck and said, "Yeah, my stomach hurts. But its not from the food. It feels like I was kicked in the balls by a black guy." AND IMMEDIATELY AS I SAID BLACK GUY, the McDonald's™ guy walked past. I felt like a complete idiot. We all shared a laugh. The moment was so inappropriate that even the black guy was laughing as he was walking out. As a result, I felt like apologizing. So I did. He was still laughing and said that it was alright. A little while after, we went to the Sleepy's™ three stair to just joke around. I, still being a cock, tried to forward flip the stairs. Too bad I can't actually forward flip. So I got credit carded. Yup. Karma is my mistress

I'll end my story there. Hope you have enjoyed my karma! Keep skating guys!

Definitely one of my favorite clips. The names of the tricks are so clever and Jimmy Carlin has to be one of the funniest, weirdest, and best skaters out there.

My First Blog

Alright. Here we go. Gonna make my first post now, enough stalling. I'll start off by giving you guys a little background information about me. My name is Patrick Roldan, and I am a skateboarder from New York. I get into trouble a lot with authority figures, and that is where I got the inspiration for my blog title, "Security Guards Suck." As I stated before, I am a skateboarder. Whenever I get the chance, I will post on the blog what happened during my day of skating. That portion of the blog will start on Wednesday, when I get back to skateboarding with my homies. Other things I will post on this blog include cool things I see through my journeys and weird stories. I will provide reviews of products I have used and I swear to be unbiased. I will also be posting videos that I find awesome. I might also spread some love for bands and songs and such. I personally guarantee you will find me boring at times, trust me, I bore the shit out of myself every second of a day when I am not skateboarding or just hanging out with my favorite people. So here it goes.


MY FIRST STORY(This story involves racism, so brace yourselves. I will pre-inform you that I am of Filipino descent) 


Two weeks ago, I was skateboarding with a my friends Rob (who is a very pale white person) and Gabe (who is a dark Hispanic person). We were warming up at my local mall, where they have a couple of great spots. There is a bank, a six stair, a 2 stair, a 3 stair, and a couple of very slick ledges. Now that the "Panera Bread ledge" has been capped, we have moved on to a less amusing ledge we like to call the "Macy's bench." We were skateboarding at the Macy's bench, trying to get a good couple of tricks going, when a young African-American security guard told us to get off our boards. Well, being the "law-abiding citizens" we ALL aspire to be, we did get off of our skateboards. We held them in our hands for a moment, and as soon as he walked away, we got on them again to get inside the mall and go to our local Zumiez (I am sure that most of you out there reading that I support a Zumiez will think I am stupid and that I supporting a corporate store that is killing "Mom and Pop" shops everywhere, but it is the only skate shop I have. And trust me, the employees at my Zumiez really skate. They're some of the coolest people I know. The employees there that do skate are; the manager Steve, the assistant manager Tom, and Brian. Other employees include Brittany, Sam, Chris, and Eric). So as we were walking in, the security guard comes back with two of his goons, a VERY fat white security guard and an Indian security guard with a very heavy accent. The black security guard approaches us and tells us to get off the boards again. He says that we aren't listening. He said, "Did y'all not hear me back there?! I specifically told you kids to stop skateboarding and get off the skateboards!" So Rob says, "Yeah? Well we aren't on our fucking boards. We're holding them you idiot!" The Indian security guard just stood there, nodding his head mumbling words that sounded like "yeah, uh-huh, yes" and we just laughed at him. By this point the white security guard got bored and left like nothing had even happened. The black security guard came back with, "Woah kid, hold your damn language. Do you speak to your mom that way? Listen, I will ban you from the mall for not just 6 months which is the minimum, but a whole year! You hear me?" Rob then angrily asked, "Wait, you'll ban me for skating but not them?! Freaking racist bastard! You should be fired for racial prejudice!" The black guard took a moment and realized that Rob was right and fixed his statement. He said, "Y'know what, all of y'all need to get your acts straight. I'll ban all of you for skateboarding if I ever see you guys again. Especially you white kid, you have been mouthing off to me all this time. The chink and the spic are just standing there quietly." This got me pissed. I decided to yell at him. I screamed. Loudly. I said, "DUDE! YOU RACIST! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING! YOU'D BAN ALL SKATEBOARDERS ON THE PREMISES?!" And Rob chimes in saying, "THERE'S A SKATEBOARD SHOP IN THE GOD DAMNED MALL!" I continue with, "WHAT IF A FUCKING 8-YEAR OLD WERE SKATEBOARDING AND HE WAS JUST LEARNING AND JUST GOT HIS BOARD? WOULD YOU BAN HIS ASS TOO?!" The black guard said, "Yup, it has to be done." So Rob, Gabe and I all say in unison, "FUCK IT WE DON'T CARE." So we just went off and walked inside. But the security guards were still following us. So I, being the most creative asshole in the world, threw my skateboard on the ground, landed on it with my stomach and held my face and ankles screaming, "OW! OH MY GOD! I AM SKATEBOARDING AND DYING AND ITS ALL BECAUSE OF SKATEBOARDING! I AM GOING TO SUE!!! SUE I TELL YOU! MOTHERFUCKING SUE!!!!" This caused a whole laughing fit between me and my friends, and the security guard  acted like a total douche. He said, "Oh yeah? Lets see you do it again. I dare you. Do it again." Rob had my back and said, "Oh don't tempt him. He'll do it again." So I taunted the security guard, mocking him as we walked to Zumiez. 


And thus ends my story. I hope you have enjoyed it.
