>>12832850Is it possible to be too retarded to skate?
Someone told me, but I forgot. Anyway, I wanna get into skateboarding. I have a fascination with the early 2000’s, so I want a setup from that era.>board width>trucks>wheels>etc

>>12828638redpill me on wheelbase bros
>>12842449Shorter wheelbase is more turny and easier to hold mannies I think. Seems like 99% of people like shorter wheelbase. Look up Ben degros wheelbase on YouTube.
>>12842449>shorter = tighter turns, smaller but faster responsive pops>longer = wide turns, bigger pops but might make the deck feel steeperTrucks also can change the length but who cares, it's all personal preference and feel as skill can make up for what lacks.
>>12841718Mirei Tsuchida
What’s the smallest board size I can actually run with Indy 169s? I measured length from wheel to wheel running surface (not axle) and it works out at about 8.5”, does that mean it would work? I’ve ran 8” 139 trucks on 7.75” before and it’s arguably a better fit than 7.6” 129 trucks in terms of stability etc.
welp into the trash it goes..
>>12843727 Glue the hole and keep it as a wet board
Wasn't there an interview w lizzie where the interviewer asked a super loaded woke girl power question to lizzie and she basically said what do you think I'm 12? Girl power? And laughed at the guy
>>12840308good lord i hope they werent canvas. unless ur a beginner then i guess it doesnt matter.
>>12834266I don't know, but it's possible to be retarded for sure.
>>12843805It was her free lunch.
>>12834847Tell me about those days, fren.>>12834813I’ll check it out. Thanks. Looks pretty cool.>>12834813>>12835028Awesome!! Thanks anons. :)True story, I share the same first name as someone else very big in skating.
>>12844835is it rodney or toney?

>>12843727>trashing a boardlol, get the fuck out of here
Be part of the /esg/ video!Submit a clip or two or three to esgskatevid@gmail.com and show us how you have the right to criticize people on what kind of trucks they should have and how they should be storing their board.Next time some asshole asks you to post your skating you can say "I'm at 1.56 of the esg video doing that poppie shovie down that 8 stair" Send unedited clips (mp4 pls) to esgskatevid@gmail.com today
>>12845745what's the submission deadline?are you okay with snowskating clips? most of my spots are buried rn
>>12845745>>>/wsg/3740842>>>/wsg/3747522>>>/wsg/3747669>>>/wsg/3764522These are all me, use whatever you want. also i dont know who or why is reposting my clips there but have at it.
>>12845745To be fair, most of us have shit on youtube we could link when someone says post footage but believing that ability has anything to do w the level of respect you deserve in the skate community is retarded as hell
>>12843489thanks anon
>>12845972not the guy putting together the vid but chill out. submit some footage or don't and have a good time regardless
>>12845972I agree with you in spirit, but it is how it goes in spots and parks. It's kind of a catch 22 because it also sweeps aside all other social biases, like race, sex and age.
>>12846077>but it is how it goes in spots and parks.huh?
>>12845792maybe if it looks cool enough we could stick one or two in there>>12845972it was just a dumb joke.
>>12845900You welcome anon.
>>12843987no theyre suede
>>12845745Nice. I can probably film something next weekend>>12845792Same. I only have snowskate footage right now
>>12843489Nice
>>12846104You get props based on your ability. Respect is a deeper thing, you can have respect if you're not a kook even if you are just a beginner.

Anybody have this webm? I don't know why I didn't save it. Buddy got knocked the fuck out brutally by other friends dog. it blew up on black twitter lmao
>>12848337i gotchu bro
>>12848399did he die
>>128483991. Skater is now fine. He had a concussion, recovered to the point of lucidity after about an hour and then drove himself home. He still skates helmetless2.dog loved skateboards, he has his own board and pushes it around. He also sprints laps around the ramp when we skate it. When we would push from the ramp to the local swimming hole, dog would chase after us3. The cage was already sitting there, perfect stall height. This wasn't set upthis4. After first try doggy ran into the cage to jump up. He wanted to be there5. Dogs not abused. He has it made. He has huge private wooded property to run around on and explore. He has it better than most apartment german sheppards. He spends every day sprinting through the woods, digging holes and swimming in the creek. Can't say that for most dogs.This ramp is cursed. This is where I shattered my elbow a week later. The same day that I shattered my elbow, the owner fully tore his ACL requiring two surgeries. It was downsized once and was still terrifying. Owner had a kid and downsize it again to a babby mini ramp. Pic related is me, guy who got knocked out and owner about an hour before the KO. Owner Is inverting and KO guy is right holding flag. I am left
I just got my first skateboard. I dont really know anything about it except for it being 78cm long.It seems to work fine and I only paid 12 bucks for it.Cant wait for the weather to get better.
>>12848601>Skater is now fineanon your friend's body did a fencing response. it wasnt a little concussion, that happens when its a serious traumatic brain injury. please take care of yourselves.
MY grail trick is a 360 inward heel to backside overwilly
>>12848690Eh you're probably right. I'm sure that is some permanent damage. To my understanding though, shitloads of small concussions is worse than one big one. So on that front he's doing better than a boxer or football player as a serious head injury riding a skateboard is a once in 10 years event for most people.
>>12848694>overwillyIt's called a losi broPic is after first downsizing about a year after the 3 injuries. Big side is still pretty big, I think it was 8ft tall no vert but at vert
>>12848777The final downsizing. Call me crazy, but I'm not bummed. Felt bad mojo every time I went back there after those 3 injuries. Plus he has a son now, and sons need yards to play in
Are there any parts I should potenially oil? The man who sold it to me said it hadnt been used in a while.
>>12848653Generic knock off will be totally fine for a beginner minus one component: bearings. Id switch them out with a pro set. The difference is unbelievable. With those generic walmart boards, the bearings are so bad you will slow to a stop even on a hill. It is extremely frustrating and makes skateboarding much more difficult even for those who have been doing it for years.
>>12848601that's a crispy fuckin' invert right there.
>>12848731How big is the risk of landing on your head like that or seriously breaking bones if I plan on just skating casually and taking it slow? No ramps or anything
>>12848801as this Anon have said >>12848801get some Bones Reds
>>12848801damn, meant this post >>12848814
>>12848814I will keep that in mind. I already looked into the pastebin in the OP in regards building a skateboard from scratch but I first wanted to give skating a try. And im pretty broke lol
>>12848857Extremely low. Even for people who have been skating 20 years some have never seen the inside of an ER. You have to get really unlucky to get bodied that bad on flat ground. You should worry more about being hit by a car, fatal pedestrian car crashes happen all the fucking time. Skateboarding injuries very very rarely result in death and when they do it's a freak accident. Your odds of actually breaking something and needing surgery/hospital stay are also extremely low. I mean think about it. If someone skates Evey day for years and never once breaks something that makes catastrophic injury a 1/3000+ event. Much more likely is banging your shin hard as fuck and wanting to scream out in pain for 30 seconds then it goes away. Or getting scrapes on your palms that hurt when you wash your hands. Or getting small bruises on your heels that cause you to limp for a day or two. Or spraining your ankle and needing to take a week off skateboarding to heal up. Or getting a hip bruise that makes sleeping kinda uncomfortable. These injuries are pretty common. I strongly recommend you wear a helmet. If it doesn't annoy you on your head and makes you feel safe, you should absolutely wear one. There is nothing hesh gnar about CTE. Those that don't usually have their own reasons and accept the risk involved, it's a personal choice but it's a choice that absolutely has a right answer.
>>12828638Since we're sharing. I've gotten 3 concussions in the past 3 years :\ One of which was severe enough where I had to go to the hospital and get my brain scanned and stayed there for a couple of days. And even after it was a month in bed because I felt so weird and sick.I'm just saying. It's not common but it can happen. If you want to wear a helmet by all means put it on. I do when I skate transition now. The rest of my time I skate flatground and little ledges and thankfully that'll only get you a scuffed knee.
>>12848601hell yeah brother
>>12847785Thanks, this was interesting>>12848221yeah the Agata bs flip was cool
>>12844912It’s Rodney.
>>12849168hi rodney
>>12849217lol hey buddy.
Please be friends
>>12848801what others have said (get bones reds) but also get new bushings, bones maybe?
I unironically want a freestyle board. Would be nice when it's snowing and trying obscure flip tricks.
>>12849357sounds like you're a faggot then homie
>>12848601We may not be as famous as SLAPbut so far:1. We have had one of the earliest OPs, ThreadKilla, having a part in one of the Tired videos. 2. Mango apparently was posting here3. A webm blowing up in black Twitter. Fitting and quite worthy.
>>12848793That's a proper mini ramp, it's not a kiddie ramp.
>>12849217AKCHUALLYthat's a airwalk fingerflip
>>12849276*is friends*>>12849357There are still freestyle board makers, like decomposed and never enough skateboards among other brands. Even if you don't want to order online, you may or may not find a freestyle deck reissue from Powell Peralta, but the real deal is getting the proper gear for that deck, which means cushionless trucks, wide, hollow wheels, skid plates and not forgetting to grip the underside of your nose and tail.Freestyle is a disciplined discipline.

>>12848337>>12848399doesn't look like the dog did it
Yes yeah, I had a question about the ultimate late 90’s/early 2000’s board setup >>12835028I know Nothing about these trucks or wheel diameter. Can someone tell me about the advantages, and disadvantages of having this setup? Are there any, or is it just purely aesthetics?
>>12850708Personal preference. People will tell you you're supposed to get this setup or that setup according to your style, but it's horse shit. People tre flip 14 stairs on 8.75inch boards w 169 Indy's and rails because it feels best to them. People do huge backside airs on 7.5 boards too. Eric winkoski will 5050 a fuckin 30 stair handrail on 64mm wheels and a 9in fishtail w a fuckin skid plate on the tail. It doesn't matter. Generally speaking, bigger boards whes and trucks are for tranny skating and skinnier boards wheels and trucks are for street. A 7in board is small. A 8-8.5 is medium. 8.875+ is big. 49mm is small wheel. 52-55mm is medium. 56 is large and 60+ is for cruising. Truck companies have their own measurement systems but your truck width should match your board width, But who gives a shit. If you feel like your setup is tiny go up a size. If it feels big go down. If it feels just right then you got it skate that. It's super simple. This shit isnt sports, there is no right and wrong. I feel best on a 9 and 169s w risers because I'm clumsy as fuck and need a boat sized skateboard so every time I land, I have a higher chance of landing on something. Feels like I'm more in control. Others find a big board heavy and awkward. To each their own
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UgxVhRGREg
>>12849357you should just learn on your regular board. then it will translate easier and you can fuck around with spinny casper stalls on banks n shit.I think learning freestyle is probably pretty easy because girls gravitate towards it (like transition). good luck.
>>12850966I hear you, and I understand. However, I want a board and setup that mirrors that era of skating.
>>12850212>cushionless trucks,What
>>12848857>Data from the National Safety Council states that:>First-time “boarders” (those skating less than a week) account for one-third of the skateboarding injuries treated each year in emergency departments (EDs).I did not find the source for that claim but I can believe it based on my own observations (mainly YT footy). Definitely take it slow and wear a helmet.

>>12852895damn that pic manages to make the front crook look terrible. sexy "switch 180 flip" tho
>>12853434>sexy "switch 180 flip" thoAgreed.
So is Tony Hawk the goat?
>>12854477he carried the business thru 2 boom periods, so yes
>>12854491Based Tony.
How much to build skateboard?
>>12854477Yes
>>12854945'bout tree-fiddy
>>12854986I think it’s like 120 or 220. I can’t remember.
what tricks look best on a bank? I learned nollie bs 180s just on banks because I thought they are a decent looking way to turn around. hardflips on banks look really nice, but I'm not good enough for those yet... or don't wanna put in the time yet. what are some other nice bank tricks?
>>12854945100+. if you want to go a little bit cheaper you can get a CCS or mini-logo complete setup (or another inexpensive but legit brand) for 80ish I think.
>>12850708dave bachinsky kickflipped el toro on a 7.5>advantages small boards are easier to spin & flip, the might also be easier to pop high although kick steepnness and other factors play into that as well.>disadvantagesless board area means less stability, having to catch a smaller board in the air, into rails etc. it is also easier to overflip depending on how much power you like to put into your flick. right now i'm going between a 7.75 skateboard and an 8.75 snowskate and having to readjust to avoid over/underflipping is probably the most noticeable difference. i've only ever ridden low trucks and small wheels so i can't really compare them to anything elseif you really need an accurate setup for that era, go one ebay to find a board that was actually made over that period. the small boards you buy now are not the same, they almost universally have mellower concave and are less stiff (although i have heard chapman/ southcentral boards are pretty stiff) you will also be paying out the ass though. the next best option would probably be https://canadaskateshop.com/product/7-75-blank-skateboard-deck-bens-favourite-90s-shape/ you wont have the aesthetics but the board shape will at least be similar. if aesthetics are the most important thing but you need a budget option, https://drkrminc.com is don pendleton's new company. he did pretty much all the 2000's era aws graphics.40 mm wheels like >>12852895 can be hard to find these days but https://www.smlwheels.com is gonna do a reissue soon
>>12855192back 3, lotti stylehttps://vimeo.com/30381427
>>12855207Perfect. Thanks anon.
Do larger size trucks like 159s come with a slightly bent axle stock?
>>12855388Thanks for all that, anon. I appreciate you taking the time to type all that.>mellower concaveWhat did the late 90’s/early 2000’s shape look like?
>>12855408np. as long as you buy your parts or complete from a skate shop or decent online retailer (CCS, Skate Warehouse, Tactics, or even Z____), then you will end up with a legit setup.
>>12855677https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJcTbrnHn60this is probably the best example i can find offhand. gl fren i hope you find a board that satisfies your autism.
>>12854945the standards on a board are indie trucks which are like 22 bucks EACH and you need 2, bones reds which are like 17 bucks, and spirfire 99s which are like 40 bucks for a setthats $100 right therefrom then deck price varies but the cheapest it can get is like a mini logo deck like 30 bucks if youve got no stylethe rest is assorted, grip tape, hardware, and a skate tool to put it all together can run you a bit but not nearly as much as the bigger piecesyou get what you pay for though if you want to roll the cheap shit dont expect it to lastat least when it comes to the shit with a mechanical purpose, so your bearings, wheels, and trucks are what you want to shell your big bucks onthe deck is important but the only reason some are more expensive than others is the graphics and brandyou could always just get a complete though, those usually come way cheaper than assembling something yourself but you wont get to mix and match parts
>>12855978Cool
>>12848950Thank you for your answer. I was worried a bit because I do manual labor and I cant afford being hurt badly at the moment.
Will riding in wet conditions ruin the a skateboard or is it fine if I properly wipe it down afterward?
>>12857246skateboarding will ruin a skateboard.
>>12857292You can buy specialty made rainy skateboard wipes from your local feed and seed store. Works like a charm. I keep them inside my fingerbox
>>12848857Very low for most skaters. If you're a beginner, ask yourself if you are an active type who picks up new physical activities relatively easily. If the answer is no, it's slightly more likely that you will have an uncoordinated unlucky slam. Odds are still very low but if you have something to lose, you might as well get a helmet unless you can find a reason not to. Triple8 certified sweatsaver is comfortable enough that you'll forget you're wearing it after a few minutes.
>>12857129If you make a living working with your hands then I'd recommend wrist guards. If you're just learning, the single most likely injury is bruising your wrist because you fall on it.
>>12851304holy fuck what happened
>>12852195No bushings
>>12859014Wall always goes over.
>>12854945The thumbnail looks like a gorilla in surprise wearing a Sombrero.

Wish kickflips weren't such a pesky trick. Some days I can actually land them first try. Today I eat shit constantly.

>>12861152No problem anon.
Whadaya think? (que the American Psycho responses plz)Also, black or white? (White is in the top left corner.)
>>12861405i think I should bash in your dumb weeb head with my rusty axe till your stupid anime loving brains leak out and feed it to my dogs

>>12861405>zazzle wtf
>>12861405why are you private browsing for skateboards you pussy?
what music do you guys listen to when you cruise?Ive been looking through skater channels to find beats but only a found a couple I like
>>12861405idk bro for 60 you might as well just buy a hookups board or one of those fakku decks.zazzle is just throwing your money away and the print will probably be shitty too
>>12861556Thanks for your opinion anon. Based and weebpilled.>>12861563I don’t know. I’m not sure where to look.
>>12861608Thanks for the advice anon. I just found out about hookups. I like the prints- they’re pretty sick. I’ll look up fakku also.
So wait, did the 90’s and early 2000’s have different shapes?
My sides.
>>12861774I like this better
>>1286173990's was the peak of small setups for tech shit. things have gradually crept up ever since. boards kind of stayed in the same 7-7.75 range with some shape minor changes. wheels are probably the biggest difference.
>>12861804Honestly, I like it better myself. lol I didn’t realize They made such high quality board art. I know it’s seen shit, but in all honesty it’s pretty cool. Imagine showing your friends your deck.
>>12861970I’m going to set mine up with 40’s and low trucks. Only 40’s I could find were out of the UK, old ones on eBay, and these. Idk if these are good or not.
>learned 4 new tricks last weekso this is the power ...of having a garage
>>12862064autobahn makes great wheels ime. yeah it's hard to find small wheels now. i kind of want some lol
>>12861739Can you explain your obsession with 90s shit if you weren't there?
>>12861774the Zone, F4U, and OMOCAT boards that are sold out actually look dopetheyre not even too lewd so you wouldn't get bitched at by a soccer mom for riding it
>>12862096To be honest, I don’t know. I’m only 24. For some reason those old videos and settings just speak to me. Maybe I’m sounding highly autistic, but it just gives me a feeling of comfort. Just feels right.>>12862079Based. Do it, anon. Grab your camcorder with the wide lense, and let’s go back.
>>12862128I‘ll check em out. Thanks anon. I don’t give a fuck about soccer moms. I mean in my opinion, I think too lewd shit is just cringe anyway. I kinda like being off to myself though, so it wouldn’t be a big deal regardless.
>>12862202we are all autistic here. 90s is kino everyone knows thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5mITH4Qb0E&feature=emb_title
>>12862064>I’m going to set mine up with 40’sgood way to increase your chances of eating shit
>>12861774I would never admit it irl, but I am rooting for a future in which genetically engineered cat girls are given out freely by the government to all skateboarders
>>12862064Have you ever skated before? Not being patronizing, but 40mm is unbelievably small. It's impractical. 49mm is considered a small wheel and was a common size 25 years ago. No need to get a mini board setup when that's not what you're shooting for
>>12862241>mfw anon asks “where do you think we are?”>>12862319Worth it.
Seeing the catgirl deck made me decide to check out hookups. Only problem is I only skate a 9. Don't google hookups 9 inch
>>12862423Forgot gif
>>12862379think this dude is trollingeven when I started I didnt try so hard to be different from other skaters
>>12862435Jesus Christ anon.
>>12862379Then what was the typical wheel size in the early 90’s/00’s? 50-52?
>>12861774On the highest of keys i would skate this while wearing my sailor moon shirt my purple beanie and my heart shaped sunglasses
>>12862435what the fuck dude who even makes 9 inch boardsim surprised they make under 8.0 nowadays but all the way up to the 9? what are you doing that you need that much space
>>12862551Skate1 does
>>12862319suffer for fashion
>>12862500pretty much all your girl/world/plan b shit was in the 40s to sub 40 range but that style of low and slow street skating doesn't really exist anymorehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTcslX-Fl9w&feature=emb_titlehttps://youtu.be/ehZBdh-1rzQ?t=25>>12862379all the emb and love boys were rocking like 38s and that ground was fucked.

Thoughts on weckingball /esg/?
>>12862670nah I feel like it's more of a gimmick. is there a single pro/am that rides tiny wheels? it just doesn't make sense to ride 40mms
>>12862729probably the brands under the theories umbrella
>>12862948idk seems fun, like doing a challenge run in dark souls. i'm not trying to win the xgames lol
>>12862551most brands
>>12862435DoxxedPurify yourself, sodomite
>>12862551antihero & santacruz does i think. probably creature as well
>>12862773>>12862806>>12863077any reasons for these picks?also do you guys just buy boards from these or other parts too?
>>12862729Heroin, I bought 5 last drop
>>12862729i like Quasi's team and their boards are kinda nice and springy (PS Stix), so I buy Quasi when I can. otherwise I try to pick a brand/shape I haven't tried before.
kinda wanna try an impact light
>>12863590do they still get razor tail like normal decks because they are still mostly wood?
Another interview, another tale of the industry being disgusting https://chromeballincident.blogspot.com/2021/02/chrome-ball-interview-147-caesar-singh.html
Any suggestions on where to buy parts? Can’t really buy local. There’s not a real shop near.
>>12828638Damn, that's a whole lotta not skating, fuck simps
>>12841221>>12841460Fuck outta here you fuckhead coomers, thread would be better without you faggots
>>12863963 see >>12855794>CCS, Skate Warehouse, Tactics, or even Z____those are all good. There's also Parade World, which lists shit from a bunch of smaller shops.
>>12863947i just kinda skimmed it. saw he didn't get paid much by major companies, and he did that sexy ad when he was a lil virgin boi.what are the worst parts?
I FUCK WIT ZUMIES IDGAF WHAT YOU WANNABE CORE SKATERS SAY
>>12864078Thanks anon. I appreciate it.
>>12864074Kek
>>12864074Based
>>12864105they dont fuck with you though thats the thingits like youre shilling for companies
>>12864102I read the important part, apparently a while back they interviewed this racist dude who bullied this guy when that racist dude ended up becoming a copglad im not black, id hate for my whole life to revolve around racists instead of the things I enjoy
>>12861739scope this if you haven't for an idea of 90-http://vertisdead.blogspot.com/2016/09/california-cheap-skates-1990.htmlhttp://vertisdead.blogspot.com/2016/09/california-cheap-skates-1991.htmlpersonal favorite shape-wise is 92 and 93http://vertisdead.blogspot.com/2016/09/california-cheap-skates-1992.htmlhttp://vertisdead.blogspot.com/2016/09/california-cheap-skates-1993.htmland by 94 it's all 7.X" width popsicleshttp://vertisdead.blogspot.com/2016/09/california-cheap-skates-1994.htmlhope this helps
>>12864448how do you find the important part when it's thousands of words?
>>12865383checked the comments and searched for chuck
>>12862729Fancy LadWelcomeHeroin
>>12866152ah i see
>>12866158hey fancy lad supporter, can you explain this flint thing? do they really put flint in the tail so it sparks, or is it just ajoke?
>>12862729local european brands>>12862806>>12866158nice
>>12866420Probably works the same way as those tracker trucks with flint in
>>128625519 is a common size for transition skating

no complies are really satisfying
>>12867390Cool
>>12864201This
what's the slipout factor multiplier on a metal quarterpipe if it's wet as fuck
>>12863947amazin'
fuck i think i pulled my groin bros how do you rehab from that? just take it easy until it stops hurting?nollieflips were a mistake
>day 10im actually getting my ollies higher and am practicing shove its as wellpretty cool feelin good boysthink im gonna start practicing riding switch inbetween this cause as soon as im left foot forward it feels like ive never even stepped on a board
>>12829063is the show actually good? i was so hype for a skateboarding anime but once I realized it was downhill skateboarding i stopped caring. Is there cool shit there or is it all gay shit?
>>12868152brought a squeegee, it wasn't too bad
>>12868787yeah it's cool shit
How far along does razor tailing need to get before I replace the deck
>>12868152It's fine ish as long as your wheels aren't making tracks. Watch other skaters and check for tracks left by their wheels. Once you make tracks on any surface, it means the rotational friction is no longer enough to dry your wheels off and they are now wet, and a bad slam is near inevitable
>>12868488Do ads like this still happen? Probably not im guessing but i haven't picked up a skate mag in at least a decade
>>12869045Replace a deck whenever you want but you don't NEED to til it snaps
>>12869072Never. The only big magazine left is Thrasher. There is no competition left. You have small regional zines but those don't have the wide reach as the big ones used to. Please buy Skate Jawn so they don't go out of business :\Europe has incredible mags right now which makes me a bit envious desu.
>>12868787the story is gay as fuck, the dudes are REALLY gay as fuck, the le unique boards each rider uses are gay as fuck, the "speed" tricks they use are gay as fuck, and the locations are gay as fuckBUT when they get to downtime parts of just hanging out and learning to skate there are some cool animations for standard tricks just casually tossed in and some cool graphics that would look sweet on real boardsyou just gotta wait out the stupid parts where they go to their race course where dumb shit like the duct tape skating, ripstik board, and computer board, oh yeah and the "love hug"to be real its not a "skaters anime" per se but theres some interesting stuff here to likethe op and ed are cool
>>12862241that was so freaking cool, thanks for sharing Anon
>>12861774I need this. Right now.
>>12869125grey mag is kino>>12868756switch is really a mental thing desu. once you get past that barrier of it feeling 'wrong' it's really not that bad. this is easier said than done though when you're going fast it's very hard to get over that reflex to revert or put your foot down.i've been starting my sessions working on switch 50s and switch dropins and it's helping a lot. bombing hills switch is helping too. the most awkward thing is trying to run at something and throw down switch.gj blogbro, keep it up
Why is it easier to switch front shove than normal front shove
>>12864448Mic-e-reyes?
>>12869318Ah yes, the cop who would get sent to beat riders if they had a disagreement with the Deluxe mafia

>Hockey finally drop 8.75 and 9.0 decksWhat does is mean, bros?
>>12870391We’re nearing critical mass and everyone will be on sub 8” by 2022
>>12870391why dont they make 8.0 decks, can I get away with 8.0 trucks on a 8.18?
Cool kids skate goofy.
>>12870460Hockey/FA have been making 8.0 to 8.5 boards for YEARS now.
>>12870391It's over. When everyone starts doing it it's not cool anymore. Skateboarders are born contrarians. I'm going to get a 7.75 next board.
I'm tempted to post my skating on reddit for upvotes and validation. should i do it?
>>12870578No you should go skate until you can do a 10 minute line.
>>12870578like how the fuck do 484 people like THIS? i can do better ollies than this bumbling faggot
>>12870578>I'm tempted>to post on reddit
>>12870460Add two or three speed rings on the axle by the hanger
>>12870578post here for (you)s instead
>>12869350Is it really that surprising when you consider he was a cop, he has threatened people before, unknown how many whites but known how many non-whites and that there is this white elitism embedded in Cali surf culture?
>>12870479Danny Way, Andrew Reynolds, Tom Penny, Mike Vallely, Rodney Mullen
>>12870593I wonder if the guy who constantly posts here about learning to Ollie is actually trolling us by reposting reddit stuff. It's a known tactic here in 4chan.
>>12870578Send clips to esgskatevid@gmail.com and go down in history
Question- What wheels would you go with for skating on asphalt? Or over concrete with cracks?
Anybody have the hang up nightmare? I have dreams where I hang up an air and violently snap awake when my body hits the flatbottom. A few of my friends have the ssme reoccurring nightmare also
>>12871168F4 99a97a would work too
>>12871168like >>12871495 said. i have nfg 95a's i'm really liking too
>>12871537>95a You either go 99-101 or do cruiser shit which is what? 80s and below?
>>12871590i skate crusty garbage spots and do slappies and shit
>>12862729Polar and Real come to mind but I buy decks for the pros. Like I'm gonna buy a Bennett or a Bannerot deck but I wouldn't call myself a Girl supporter.
best part of 2020 coming throughhttps://youtu.be/NWC-dRjLHpc
>>12871537>>12871537Dope; thanks guys. :)
>>12871676That was indeed a rad part. I get stoked watching grind switches on curbs and generally edges that aren't rails.
>>12871495>>12871537Sorry for another stupid question, but what mm?
>>12872081I'm partial to 55, it's just 54 with a bunch more weeks in them.
>>12871662>I buy decks for the prosprobably the gayest shit i've seen here today dawg
>>12872081i'm on 54's, but what >>12872295 said also applies. i have a hard time finding 55's right now though. 54 is my sweet spot for not getting thrown off by cracks or debris but not being big enough to change the height/feel of the board
>>12870391I remember Dill getting asked when they were doing bigger boards and he was all "nah that's not what we're about" , imagine cool guying larger skateboards.>>12870460yeah that's normal
>>12871628do 95a wheels slide? never tried anything under 99 except for really soft stuff.
>>12873054i'm able to slide, yeah. obviously i gotta throw a little more at it, but on the stuff i skate i can still get a slide in. i haven't had the opportunity to try a skatepark or anything as smooth as that with them but i would imagine they'd grip more/have a harder time sliding. but then i don't skate those types of surfaces anyway so i guess it doesn't matter to me. i enjoy them a lot though, ymmv
I still feel like we should make our own magazine
The end.
>>12873632Agreed
>>12873632that would be rad
