ummm....just practice much more. the more you are out...the more confident you feel not only about your surroundings...but you get way faster to make the possiblility of getting caught much less... also...write with someone else. tonight...my buddy saved out ass when he saw someone like 10 feet away from us just as we were finishing out shit. NICE.. also....cover your face biotch. bandana. armed robery style.
Well, probably my best things to take away my paranoid is to bomb in a more relatively shadowed place, or have a partner, so if you have a partner, and the coops see youjust split up, they'll quit immediately or shortly after. Also run down narrow alley ways where their cars can fit or run to places where they dont want to go. Their more afraid of us, thats the way I look it at. Saiko
haha. I remembered I was scared shitless to put up a sticker but over time I would just toss em up in the middle of the day with people around I didnt even care. Then marker tags started to come that way. I still get scared doin throws and stuff but I am guessing I will chill out after a couple more.
just be framilliar with where you are so if you do have to run you will know where to go,if the spot is unframilliar then the nervs can get to you.
If you are paranoid try putting up stickers, then maybe use markers, then maybe step up to a mop, then try tagging with paint, then do hollow throws, then do fills, then do pieces!
dude eveyone feels paroind at first i am kinda like you i just did book tads until recently then i started getting up on walls you just got to flow and just concentrate if you get a really strong feeling follow it tough it could save you. if anyone ever says they wernt scared they were lieing. any way if theres a really un populated place around you go there and practice also if you have a really good friend bring them i also tag with my friend it easys nerves. hope i helped
lol....i wasn't scared my first time...no bullshit, i guess it was because i knew there was a 90% chance of not getting caught..... .........and i was high.........
^^^^ hahaha ye, i still get sum nerves, but pretty much like fatty said, i just go tagging/bombing wit my bro, who i trust to know wuts up n keep lookout
Not there yet, I'm at the sketching stage that I hope to one day be able to look back at and laugh. I'm sure I'll be paranoid when I go out, I'm a jumpy person.
if your a jumpy person you'll do great...you'll go out your first time and then realize what a great time you had and then you'll go crazy and bomb the fuck out of shit when you go your second time.
Just remember a couple things.. 1) Unless you're doing a piece, or something huge, chances are that you'll be out of there before the cops even get there. 2) Don't worry about sirens. If the 5 was trying to catch somebody in the act of painting, why would they come with sirens and lights flashing? 3) If somebody sees you, don't piss them off. One time I went bombing on a rooftop and this kid that I didn't really like insisted on coming with, since he was with a group of us that day. Anyways, I was painting and the people in the apartment across the street saw us, and were watching. I made sure they were just watching, and not getting on the phone, but low and behold this kid who tries to act like a hardass all the time, makes a big scene by waving both of his fingers in the air at them. I snapped on that fool real quick. 4) If need be, act crazy. I wouldn't recommend this all the time, but if nothing else, you scare them instead of them scaring you. 5) Act like you're supposed to be there. 90% of regular citizens won't think twice about anything if you act like you're supposed to be there. While looking around is a good idea at first, don't be twitching your head in every direction every 5 seconds, that's a dead giveaway that you're up to no good. 6) If the 5 does roll up on you, and you have the chance to do it, don't freak out and run right away(like I said, only some circumstances allow this). Always watch what they do before you make your move. If they know where you're going or what you're doing, as opposed to the other way around, they have the advantage. This has helped me in a number of situations. There's more, but I'm too lazy right now. Hope this helps a little bit.
I go out with the same dude everytime, he doesn't write but hes into it and gets off on the adrenalin i guess. But he'll be in a spot closer to the sidewalk or street and if someone is comin he claps or something so i can duck. it probably sounds pussy, but if the wrong person sees you then theyll call the cops and that means they'll be looking for you causing more running than painting for the rest of the night. feel me?
I can't get away with shit at 2-4am around these parts. Its usually about 8-11 for me. If your out here past eleven don't even bother walkin in the streets, You'll get caught cause the cops out here are bitches with nothing else to do.
