Steve's Skate Shop, 307 Penis Lane.
It's in Augusta, Maine.
They're pretty cheap, but sometimes they can get kind of warped.
My friend found an intact nail sticking into the side of his tail once...
Why do you ask?

I mean the skateboard you use in the animation's, there almost all the same!

My previous reply to that was not a serious reply, if you didn't catch that.
Please, warrior, tell me you caught that.
And after you verify that you noticed the joke,
tell me what you mean by "get those skateboards"... We all draw our own skateboards.
It be called "talent".

That's awful.
You should delete everything and uninstall flash...
Jk. You could improve on it. Go for FBF [frame by frame] technique...
Redraw the skater in each frame. You don't necessarily have to redraw the board.
Maybe I should stop fucking with new recruits.

If anybody wants to know [or has ever wondered about] the exact process I go through to create one scene in a skate flash, I'm posting it right here, right now.
For future reference, remember page 181.
*Ahem.*

PROCESS:
1. Draw a box around the default frame, with no fill. Create the foreground, which is usually a series of obstacles attached to a concrete base. I turn this image into a graphic. This will be the bottom layer.
2. Draw the skateboard, turn it into a graphic. I reuse this graphic in later scenes when necessary. This will be the 2nd layer.
3. Draw the character with the brush tool. I make the lines thick, and I turn the smoothing DOWN, but not OFF. This will be the 3rd layer.
4. Insert a keyframe in the layer with the foreground in it far to the right of the first frame. I animate the sequence, using the onion skinning tool to see the current frame, the previous frame, and the frame before the previous frame.
5. After finishing the sequence, I add a 4th layer so that I can draw in any special effects [such as sparks or blood].
6. Redraw the original box from layer 1 on a 5th layer placed below the bottom layer, creating the NEW bottom layer. Using this box, I make a background with the sky and some shrubbery/vegetation or housing/buildings. I turn this image into a graphic, and I turn the alpha down to about 80%.
7. I add a 6th layer, underneath the background layer, so that I can put in the SOUND EFFECTS. I import sound effects and sync the appropriate sound effects [steaming, of course] to the sequence.
8. The last step is to add the 7th layer, underneath the sound effect layer, so that I can put in the music. I stream the music and edit it to fade in and out.
9. Export the flash, watch it, and fix the bugs.

OVERVIEW OF THE LAYERS:
Top layer » Special effects.
6th from bottom » Character.
5th from bottom » Skateboard.
4th from bottom » Foreground.
3rd from bottom » Background.
2nd from bottom » Sound effects.
Bottom layer » Music.

And that, my friends, is what I have to go through each time I make a scene in Macromedia Flash 8.

*Phew.*

lol old skool.

my flash

layer 1 :: Fades
layer 2 :: V-cam
layer 3 :: Music
layer 4 :: Sound effects
layer 5 :: fore ground (if needed)
layer 6 :: Skater
layer 7 :: board
layer 8 :: background 1
layer 9 :: background 2
layer 10 :: background 3 (if needed)

your BG's get better and better, i was thinknig what wuld be sick is if you turned the speakers into MC's and when the music plays they get bigger and smaler you know giving the illusion the music is pounding out of em.

MUSIC on my clip . For some reason my flash seems to play in slow-motion when its uploaded to the interent so my music is slightly out of sync to what i would like but its still pretty good.

Me likes, I am trying to find a different song to go with my clip..

But are we doing it your way, like all the other skate collabs, or are we doing it like a normal skate video?

The link button is located directly above the top-left hand corner of the yellow box that you're typing in :D
So uh... yeah.
Get to it :]

welcome to the club, you can copy and paste the link in the text box if you wish.

Sorry... No more stupid questions from me from now on! XD I've just made something (8 sec long) to the collab. And its not on the internet. I'll mais jestar or something if he has his mail in his profile :) can my twin brother join the collab mtw? (he's at least as good as me! :D)

That Skate Flash was pretty cool. It's way better then all those Stick Skate Flashes that I usually see at the portal. All you have to do now is to make it longer and possibly add some Audio to it. :/

i dont believe that is in 12fps that is way to smooth!!!

you should experiement with 20fps you just have to add more keyframes b4 between each frame that you got already.

of corse your bro can join.

If you cant work with 20fps you can do 12, we have an AS code that allows a movie to change its fps rate, but we would rather not use it.

I know I alreadt created a template for the menu and stuff but i didnt like it no more it wasnt slick enough, so iv been working on a new one.

well since skateleb.com isnt working and i cant remebr my putfile password il put it up someotehr time.
