Just do some ollies edition
Will you ever quit skating?
everyone NEEDS to post their knees and car batteries before asking for skating advice
>>189629I could do this and amazingly I have a honda battery in a ford and its lasted me 6 years so far. I cannot believe it. Honda battery is known to be shit.
I just made slap change their registration process after shitting on them from different accounts, now they have to verify your email lol
>>189629unfortunately I blew out my knee riding down a 45 degree bank (I transitioned)
>>189629You're not allowed to combine these two memes, because I'm knee guy and I invented the car battery roast in here. It's not fair that I can post car battery but I can't post knee.>>189636Based for doing that but also cringe for being an ugly stinky slaggot bitch.
>>189299>banks are hardIt took me a bit to figure it out, but after I spent a full session at Southbank just trying to get up and down the things, I figured out the trick. When you hit the kink at the bottom, you need to "deweight". So it's similar to a pump on a quarter pipe, only much more aggressive and sudden. So long as the front wheels clear you should be fine, but you don't want to put too much weight on the back like it's a manual because that will likely kill so much of your speed that you'll jolt off which is sounds like what is happening to you.And then, as always, keep your centre of balance low. When you deweight/pump, try to not go completely upright. Go from a really low crouch to a slightly higher crouch. You can use the same technique to get over cracks and rough patches of ground too.
Broken knee faggot and gore slam poster need to realise no one wants to have that shit fresh in the back of their minds. Fuck off.
>>189629I have to look at this shit everytime I take a dump, done during the deathwish face tat era
>>189669Because, retarded newfaggot, it's a slowass board and I shouldn't need to guess if we have a new thread or not when I haven't seen a reply in the current one for hours.>>189667>le doodle tat manNo car battery to be seen.
>>189667The talk about breaking wrists on 45 degree angle slopes was last thread, but /esg/ are already getting tattoos about it and posting them online. Please add a car battery to your collection. The knees are a given.
>>189629lmao
>>189653well it's not like you'll ever need skating advice anyways since YOU CAN'T FUCKING SKATE ANYMORE LMAOOOOOO
the knee nutjob made another new thread. this guy is deranged.

why is there such negative attitude herewhere are nicer skaters online?
new deck, watcha think?
>>189877Thought it would be extremely cool from the thumbnail. Saw its extremely gay and soulless when I opened the full image. Also why do your trucks have boners?

>>189869>>189870still a better skater (and cooler) than both of you. stop being racist on a blue board newfag
>>189884that's not even the worst offense on my deck, i can take the bar lower.I skate without grip. Because i like it better this way.
>>189889Post a clip, if you post yours I'll post mine and we can see who the better skater is
How many days a week do you have to skate to actually do some real progress. I can do my ollies, starting to land the kickflips, got my shoves down, not there yet but almost with 180s and half cabs. I just keep on doing the same stuff. What should I do next or what is the next step? how often should I go out there to feel like I can do the next step? I haven’t done much vert and ramps but I’m not that interested tbqhwy
>>189893well, everyone's different, obviously.personally, before I start working on a new trick, I always go through my bag and make sure all the tricks I already have are as close to 100% consistent as I can. I may not have a huge bag of tricks, but the tricks I do have I make sure they're clean and I land them every time.
I was sexually harassed at a skatepark last night
oh great the custom board faggot is back to shill his shitty hook ups knock offs. as if this thread could get any worse

>>189907i can tell from your posts your style is trash and you cant change a car battery
>>189902Sorry to hear that man, but keep skating and pushing yourself, you'll get there
I invented the car battery roast but I can't remember how it became a thing. I think I was venting about my beta friend not being able to do basic man things and someone on here got insecure and started damage controlling for not being able to change your own car battery, talmbout how he's better than me because he pays others to do it.
>>189915you should become a tripfag so we all remember who you are your a part of /esg/ history
>>189917no
>>189915see how i remember it was some fag was going on about how diy fags are blue collar posers and attaching his self worth to being able to do hands on shit and he eventually started ranting about car batteries and replying to everyone saying they don't do their own grip
>>189915>I invented the car battery roastWe are making fun of you for it. It's pure cope because you can't muster the balls to come back from an injury.
>>189925>WeYou got a mouse in your pocket lil b?
>>189926He chillen.Anyway, there are bigger issues here. A guy wearing Camo pants, razer blade t shirt and with a gripless board is claiming these trucks have done grinds. In his defense, maybe he has done 3.
>>189928That thing is just primed for some kind of nightmare hang up
>>189928i'll keep you guys updated. it rained today so no clip, but i'll make one asap to appease the /esg/ trolls.in the meantime, here's an old clip of a 50-50 on a ledge (with grip).
>>189928Its like the bushing just got tightened up more and more for just doing its job and allowing the truck to turn.
>>189928Bro has done nothing more than a stall on a curb.>>189931Yoo aren't you the pop shove-it guy? If yes then I take it back, you're not cringe. But only as long as you put grip on and stop riding that gayass deck brand.
>>189924this is how I remember it too, diy is blue collar stolen valor lmao>>189931aint nobody who wears pants like that changing a car battery>>189934>stop riding that gayass deck brand.its his brand/his stolen art he's shilled it here beforehttps://www.boardpusher.com/corporatefilth
>>189935Aww you remember! <3But nah definitely not stolen art, 100% my soulless, gay ass art.And I'm not shilling, I didn't even give a link, I'm not trying to get anyone to buy these decks, I have this page up for me to buy from. I buy these decks. I don't make any money off of them.
>>189936see that 1 deck sold? that's mine.
>>189935I change my battery, I change my oil, I rotate / change my wheels, I change my brakes and my rotors, i change my fuses, i change my, alternator when it goes out, and my spark plugs. I've even installed my custom system with 12in kickers, tweeters, amp, second battery in the trunk, etc.
>>189939clips or it didnt happen
>>189871>why is there such negative attitude hereit's the culture of this website you cant escape it anywhere here. i blame /pol/tards>where are nicer skaters online?reddit is cringe but you can get actual discussion there cause the upvote system promotes kindness and healthy dialogue. not saying /esg/ is all bad, sometimes there are effort posters but this general has been not great for a min now. i feel bad cause i think it's lowkey my fault as i use to terrorize these generals and post ragebait for years and now i hardly post here anymore kek sorry guys

tj rogers acting debut in poor things congrats
>>190095murine > visineDepends, sometimes I'll tap my wheels on the ground using my foot to raise the nose sort thing, otherwise I find the nearest ledge and smack the ever lasting shit out of my nose on it 4 times on total then continue skating, ignoring everyone.

is this true
>>190184its basically as safe as a back side board slide, but probably easier to balance on ledges and bail on rails.
>>190184for me its back smith
>>190184I've always been a fan
It's slappy sunday /esg/
>>190193its too windy to even do slappys :/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NKDK90RAU4
>>190184Yes I'd agree with all of those.
>>190195It was a windy for me as well. Still managed to have a decent sesh. Just had to skate the curb backside with wind at my back.
>>189709>>189647>>189664>first posts on /esg/>became a lolcowKek that’s pretty embarrassing. I did start landing it consistently, just started skating a bunch of different slopes on the sidewalks and streets around town and hit up a couple of other skateparks I’d never been to, then returned to it yesterday and landed it like it was nothin. Had a couple of slams where the board flew out in front of me this week and landed on my butt or rolled it out without throwing hands too so hopefully that’s finally been squashed.
>>190226>landed on my butt or rolled it out without throwing handsGood work anonito
>>190226You're not a lolcow, and good job on the banks. Keep at it!
i love flat so much bros im dating an asian
isnt it kind of pathetic to be a grown man and being flowed? grow up youre not a kid
>>190266agreed and if youre sponsored over the age of 30 you need to grow up and get a real job.
>>190266Being flow is basically just being friends with someone and not sucking..
>>190273guys over the age of 25 shouldnt have friends. they should have a wife and kids and the only other males they should engage with are their pastor and co workers.
>>190275I had a family once. I even went to church every Sunday and was a well respected community member. Then one day THAT happened.
>>190277>Then one day THAT happened.what happened? your wife asked you to change the car battery and divorced you when you couldnt which ostracized you from the church and community?
>>190280Uhh no clearly this was an ironic post incriminating me, and I'm the designated car battery changer, so you ruined the meme basically.
>>190281>designated car battery changeris this the label they gave you at the psych ward?
Why are redditors so unfunny?
>>190284theyre always just trying to emulate blue collar humor but theyve never even rotated their tires themselves
>>190283I've been to the psych ward 4 times, cia gangstalking, I thought i was neo. Don't knock it till you try it it's crazier than any acid trip
>>190266if anything old men deserve to be flowed more than kids
>>190288i too have had a grippy sock vacation. hot ass chick in there with the fattest ass i ever seen with knife cuts all over her neck attacked one of the security guards first 24 hours
I bought a round flat rail and anything except board slides is terrifying so far. I think I can probably 50-50 it if I go really fast.
>>189889Lol blueboard doesn't mean 'don't be racist' it just means you might get caught by jannies doing it.Don't be a bitch, newfag
>>190299There always do be a hot chick in there. I jumped over the staffs table and bugged out on them cause I thought they were gonna kill me, then I got manhandled and sedated in the ass, that shit knocked me out then when I came to I had some chicks tiny jacket on
>>190006sorry im not some decrepit fuck that's been here since dial up
>>190301bend your knees and you want to push your weight down into it to lock in, btw I have never grinded anything
>>190307I guess all I've done is mostly ledges even though I used to own a rail. I think I did some 5050s, maybe a 50, but mostly board slides. Its hard on a freestanding rail to get the same confidence to nose or tail slide and I still don't know what variations of feeble grinds etc are.
>>190308I'm committing to a second visit to a new skate park tomorrow and I guess I'll focus on cruising around and ollies once I feel warmed up, but I get too damn excited. There is so much I want to relearn. I can go again the day after too if I don't get injured. or really any day, but I prefer going early in the day during the week because I know I am going to eat shit doing the most basic stuff. I guess I'll try to convince myself just ride around for as long as you can and when you start to get tempted get up to ollies at least.
>>190301the key is to make sure you're getting on top of the rail. just as long as you do that you'll be fine. try jumping on it with your feet a few times.>feeble/smith/nose/tailmuch easier than a 5050 or boardslide on a round rail. nollie nosegrind 5-0s and blunts are my flatbar warmup tricks because they lock in so easily i would consider 5050s harder than all of those
>>190311Subscribe to Mitchie bruscos ebook thing, has good warm ups to do.
I've finally started getting the balls to commit to anything other than ollies. Kickflip is my next goal. How long did it take you to go from the 'I can get the board to flip 90% of the time' to actually committing, putting your feet on it and landing it? I feel confident right up until I pop and flick, then suddenly I feel like my feet are all over the place. I also feel like my back foot is going to stop the board mid rotation and cause problems, which in turn makes me bail awkwardly mid pop. I've lost count of the amount of time the board flips and lands next to me and if I had my feet above it, it would have been a clean land. Any advice on this? Hoping the experts here can cast their minds back to what it felt to work on getting their first kickflip.
I just pulled off the most amazing fucking line because I misread how fast I'd be going and it was too late to pull out. The scooter kids at the park now think I'm a skate god and don't know that I thought I was going to die the entire time.
>>190339I'm not a master so my advice is relevant for a beginner. Your back foot is supposed to land first, but you have to bring it up. Try flipping it and land it with your front foot only, then try landing with your back foot only, then its just a psychological thing to land both. I can get it to flip 100% of the time, but I started to relearn the flip because I was flicking off the pocket to get a fast rotation, hardly any pop. Now I'm trying to pop them and flick more off the nose and the trick has become unpredictable again. Sometimes I'll get a random dolphin flip. The goal is to get them to become predictable, but also have the balls to land both feet, because most falls on a flat ground kickflip are just going to be from landing primo. It might shoot out, but once you experience that a few times your body adjusts I guess because I'm not scared of that anymore. I'm just back to flicking and getting off the board to see what it does. Anyway I'm up early I want to head to the skatepark today. Having a beer for extra courage then a coffee so I'm awake. I'm not sure what I want to do there. I didn't have fun last time and got hurt. I don't think I'll get hurt this time, but its a small park with a weird flow. The park I used to go to as a kid, you could run the same line again and again and never get bored. This park feels like you have no option, but to explore the whole park. and if no one is in the pool, I might try my first ride in a pool.
>>190339also I find it easier to learn forward, shoulders centered and the way I'm kickflipping now is I have my back foot more toe side, front foot more centered. Heel flip, is the opposite, lean slightly back, shoulders centered, back foot more heel side, front foot only slightly more toeside. I think learning a heel flip first might help teach how to level the board out better. I feel like it takes a long fucking time to get them the way you want. I didn't like that I could kickflip, but I couldn't get height or tweak them.
>>190339one more tip is that any tip related to how close your front foot should be to the bolts depends on your wheel base. My wheel base is short so my front foot is more towards the center of the board, but on longer wheel base, my front foot is closer to the bolts.
>>190350I don't like the one foot catches generally, for me it's more about staying over the board to make the back foot catch possible. Do you feel the board slap into the backfoot to know you can put the front on and land, or is it more of a 'watch for the grip then go for it' kind of thing?>I was flicking off the pocket to get a fast rotation, hardly any pop. Now I'm trying to pop them and flick more off the nose and the trick has become unpredictable again.could you not just pop harder/higher and delay the flick slightly? Seems like it would be less hassle.
>>190305lurk more newfag, dont forget your here forever.>>190302everyone ive ever reported for being racist on a blueboard has been banned. dont be next zoomer
>>190357>I don't like the one foot catches generally, for me it's more about staying over the board to make the back foot catch possible. Do you feel the board slap into the backfoot to know you can put the front on and land, or is it more of a 'watch for the grip then go for it' kind of thing?Its more of a timing thing for a beginner kickflip. You just know its going to rotate and you can watch it happen, but you're mostly just getting a timing down. The back isn't going to hit my back foot because beginner kickflips are more likely to rocket. >could you not just pop harder/higher and delay the flick slightly? Seems like it would be less hassle.Same thing I'm trying basically, but I want my foot to travel further. I can see the marks of my shoes and theyre consistently either off the pocket or off to the left of the nose in the same area. I just don't have the flick consistent off the nose. I also have a small board so it rotates fast and its hard to find the timing when I add pop.
Man I drove by the skatepark, tons of people there in that tiny park. I said fuck it and went back home. I feel like I'm forcing myself to skate today on my day off. I honestly don't think its that much fun there anyway. I'm gonna check out a different skatepark next time, but I'll probably just want to stick to flat ground and maybe some street spots. Theyre hard to find.

>>190391>Gifted Hater killed Tim Poolvid deleted but any crossover between these two i welcome. i cant find a reupload though :(>>190404competition is inherently gay, its just men trying to fuck other men to death by means of abstraction since we can't dominate each others asses with cock like the animal kingdom intended
>>190560Would be cool if Gifted went on Richie's podcast / to that boonies thing.From what I watched he didn't really kill Tim Pool, was just talking about that podcast that was posted a few threads back. I think he was being critical of him commenting on skating. Would like to watch it all desu
>>190563https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynD5ch0k9Kkthis is the closest ive foundi just wanna hear political discussion and arguments god damn it
>>190567He didn't like Richie was there because he thinks it was a misrepresentation of skateboarding to Tim Pools not skater crowd. His point being if they searched him and saw his views they'd think he was a top guy but he hasn't really been in the spotlight for years. Seemed kinda gatekeepy like he can't have an opinion or that his thoughts should hold less weight because of those things (in the podcast Richie seems quite centrist/doesn't care). The other guest was the girl who lost to a tranny. I think (I didn't watch enough to know) that gifted was critical on the whole thing and Tim's political takes on slating. No idea if he is pro tranny in comps or not.This is the podcast: https://youtu.be/aZhOovyfG3s
>>190567some of the kookiest skating I've seen
>Richie Jackson: kook who got popular for 6 months in 2012 amongst normies and hipsters for doing && ass freestyle tricks while dressing like a member of Jefferson Airplane>Taylor Silverman: kook who has a 7 year old's bag of tricks and has lost to preteens in competitions and only got famous after making a big stink outta losing to some other shitty skater in some fly over state competition>Tim Pool: the ultimate kook who tries to claim a hang 10 hardflip late flip as a NBD. didnt bring up skating until people started calling him a lame ass loser. turned himself prowithout politics all these people would be weirdos everyone would be avoiding at all costs.
>>190574It's pretty obviously you don't like them only because politics, which is gay
>>190577post a clip
>>190578Do you plan to?
>>190583i have nothing to prove
>>190584You just called three people kooks
>>190588yeah and? am i wrong?
>>190588bro if you don't vomit a little bit every time you see that hangten hardflip shit I don't know what to tell you. I don't give a shit about their politics. The skating is gross.
based takesome obscure clip channel with his little ass ledge battle and I can almost tell when hes the one posting cause he fucking always brings this skate gossip its never like shitposting its always relevant topic gossip
>>190591If you told me Tim Pool could switch heelflip before watching that clip I'd have laughed in your face
>>190184Well fuck me I don't know why I had never even had the idea to try those (apart from retardedly thinking that backside is harder and not worth a try), they feel so god damn nice compared to frontside noseslides. It made something click with my slides and grinds, I feel like I unlocked a whole new area of BS grinds and switch slides to explore, thank you anons for posting this>>190461I got them because they were cheap (here in France) and I'm not too picky with trucks but they're nice enough, on the lighter side. I suspect that they wouldn't be a fit for someone who rides very tight, they come with rather soft bushings and are pretty responsive
>>190604idk i don't really like noseslides it's so easy to overshoot them and you have to pop in a really awkward way to not do that compared to just like doing a crook
>>190605Crook is a lazy trick. I enjoy noseslides because they're harder AND do not look as good. Same reason why I'm into hospital flips. I hope people see me skate and think "wow, this retard is putting a lot of effort into looking like shit, this style is not for anyone else"
>>190588>You just called three people kooksi called 3 kooks what they are, got a problem dork?
>>190574>>Taylor Silverman:Jesus that was beyond embarrassing.>enter am street contest>significantly older than everyone else there>stop in the middle of the park and do some basic freestyle tricks, which wasn't an instant disqualification solely because you know the organiser>the winner did a bigspin off a 3 foot ledge and that's an actual street trick>come second anyway, still get a generous payout>fly back to Israel>be so analpained that you convince yourself to talk to Piers Morgan and a bunch of right wing bloggers>claim you've been skating for "10 years">in reality it's more like "every few months across the span of 10 years">videos you post give away the game; barely any progression, negative steez, can barely fucking bs carve a bowl>emphasise how much money you "lost">threaten legal action against the event organisers>"b-b-but they only won because they were trans"I'd sooner fucking kill myself than do all that. Even the usual election tourists didn't touch it for long due to how lame and stereotypically Jewish it was. All that effort wasted complaining, over a fucking bigspin.

I spent my teens and early 20s (less so in my 20s) skateboarding every fucking day. Cherish every session. One day you'll be just like me admiring somebody else.
>>190669everyone here is around 30, i skate with dudes who are 40 and older. stop being a sad ass faggot and go skate
>>190662>tries to roast random spic>revealyou watche Bryan ArnettSelf burn
>>190590>>190625I don't really care
>>190674
>>190676I like Richie, I don't care about the rest and don't care enough to argue about if he's a kook or not.I found the topics interesting, I don't like the direction Nike and co are taking skating. Attacking the people talking about it is pretty lame.
>>190673LMAO>>190672this guys right there are dudes well into their fourties and fifties skating at my local early morning weekendstim pool fanboy is more cringe than the bam guy
>>190662
>>190680>tim pool fanboy is more cringe than the bam guyI agree. I prefer knee anon and bam anon
>>190673Bryan Arnet is lit. Lose weight and grow taller @TrippyLion.
>>190684>Bryan Arnet is lit.This is what Tim Pool is talking about!
tony alva still skates btwyou are not too old to skate
>>190686Tim Pool is 38 and still skates too, pretty cool
>>190679>I like Richiecoulda stopped typing there cause i aint reading the rest
>>190679I'll never respect Tim Pool due to the fact that he's bald and hides it with a permanent beanie glued to his head.
>>190693not gonna lie, I am bald and rock it and just getting back into skating 4 months ago, I feel like if it isn't clean shaven as fuck I'm going to be insecure especially because my skating skill is suck.
>>190694I feel you. Nothing wrong with wearing hats. Tim Pool takes it to the extreme though and never appears publicly without it on. Look how angry he gets about ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG8ipVp8TVE
>>190695I bought sunscreen recently just encase I do go out when its warmer. I have a black freckle on my face that appeared randomly, but its been a few years. Every now and then it feels like I can pick at it and idk what it is.
>>190693>>190694>>190695so glad i stopped being a hat slaveas if the difference between getting pussy or not is a fucking ball cap
>>190695Can't lie I've been Tim Pool in that situation before kek. Thankfully I'm an anonymous tard and not a namefag internet celebrity.
STOP TALKING ABOUT YOUTUBERS AND POLITICS AND GO BACK TO TALKING ABOUT SKA- I MEAN CAR BATTERIES
beanie cowards just be bald and proud
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZJkveKaHEcI remember being in school and people talking about the kickflip down el toro and watching the low res clip on youtube
You guys tried THPS 1+2 on steam?
>>190846no but session is what got me back into skating. I wanted to see if I could ride switch since I never even thought of it. I can almost nollie now, just not very leveled out.
>>190847Yeah but these skate sims aren't actually fun games.
>>190846I have it on ps4. It's really good. They added some pretty bad songs but you can turn them off. On PC I have THUG 1 emulated.
>>190854I find it rewarding setting everything to manual inputs/catch, but I havn't been playing it since I started actually skating again.
I couldn't do ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Fk-Y4IcpHY
It is once again slappy sunday
>>190860>On PC I have THUG 1 emulatedWhy? It was released on PC in Australia. Can't you just pirate that instead of emulating?
>>190876I actually wasn't aware of that. I just have it on dolphin which I use for a lot of other games too.
>>190847>Be thinking of specific trick>Fire up sessions>Find spot for trick>Do it>"ayyyyyy"
>>190669Shut up nerd.>I'm 32, still skate>bro is 49, skates>multiple homies are 30s-40s, still skate>Salba is fuckin 60, shreds poolGet in shape and skate you geed.
>>190876>>190860>>190884Get THUGPRO you fools.
How many times a week do you guys normally have skate seshs
>>190906once/week, for 20 minutes
>>1909064-5 times a week. Anywhere from 1-3 hours depending on how I feel, who I'm with, or what I'm skating.
>>190906every other day unless im injuredflatground every day unless im injured
>>1909061-3 times a week, time pending.
>>190903Don't tell me what to get, faggot.
>>1909063 at the very least. Most Mondays I'll have a 4 and half hour sesh, then a shorter one mid week, another 4 and a half on Friday, then a blowout all day one Saturday or Sunday. Really can't wait for it to be warm and bright again so I can have one every evening I'm fit for it.
>>1909061-2 times a week for 1-3 hours a session. It's taken me about 3 years to build the right kind of muscles and feel genuinely comfortable with my board at this rate, but that's being in your 30's for you.
>>190958Damn this hit too close home>>190957>>190932>>190925How young are you brothers>>190924Lel >>190938Seems fair
>>190629she the (((one))) with the nice ass right
Anyone here know anything about street luge? I got my son a skateboard a few months ago so he could start skating with me and he’s getting alright at it, but he spends most of his time riding down hills on his back and has actually gotten pretty good at handling the board that way. Seems like a really small scene but I’m all for him doing whatever he thinks is fun. I think I’ve got an old beat up longboard somewhere he can try that might be more comfortable than a little kid sized popsicle.
>>190984pad the fuck out of him with armor that shit is bananas fast and he Will get hurt. there's a ton of different stuff that they use like two sets of special trucks in the front for stability and almost everyone uses a custom made board that's often metal and has handles for properly turning. I use my Andy anderson 9.13 for down hill street luge because its as big and long as i can get while it still being a 'trick' board
>>190988also wear gloves not just pads, i tear the living fuck out of my hands (and pants) when they accidentally touch the ground while trying to do a coffin style drop-in, unless my trucks are as tight as they can possibly be.
I thought this comment may have been slightly "out of pocket", but Pizza Skateboards hearted it. Really though I can't enjoy his footage at all, it's not like Cory Kennedy because I never saw any penitence from him or the team.
skateboard """"culture"""" is at the lowest point ever. the act of skating is still fun though.
>>1909062-4 days a week I do 30 minutes to 1 hour flat ground. I wish I could get into skate park skating or cruising. I'd probably have to drive around to find a place to cruise around.
>>190870gonz is 55 if he can do it so can you. hes also rich, jump ropes, doesnt have a shitty warehouse or construction job, and probably doesnt eat goyslop
>>190973>Damn this hit too close homeI'm pretty pleased with my ability considering I can do fuck all tricks. It's the confidence boost and feeling like I'm at one with my board that I got recently that's got me fired up to do more this summer. Year of the kick flip, I can feel it.
>>190973>How youngI'm 29 so not young, but I'm unemployed at the moment so skating as much as I possibly can before I return to waging.
>>190989Good call. He wears full skateboarding pads but has still skinned his hands up pretty bad trying to use his wrist guards to help with cornering. I saw some people use special gloves that have a hockey puck looking thing on the palm that you can drag.Didn’t know most people built from scratch but that makes sense. Little dude is 5, I don’t really want him going 100mph down a hill yet but if he keeps pushing himself I’ll look into building him a board eventually.
>>190998I’m in my 30s. I agree that the secret to skating at my age is being rich enough to afford good stuff and have lots of free time + a lifetime of not ever having a sports or work related injury. Just do those few simple things and you too can easily start a sport once you’re well past your prime.
>>191004Meant for >>190999
>>191005I'm the wrong anon you replied to, but just getting back into skating at 33 and skate parks are scary. Everything is transition and down rails. I'll keep at it, but I miss the skate park I used to go to as a kid. Shit was massive, but it had something for everyone.
>>191008to be fair my local park has more shit than trans and down rails, but still. Its compact. I feel like sticking to one obstacle or your own line messes up someone elses line and the flow is just weird.
I really don't see how you would wanna skate after 30, it's just some fuckin toy grow up
really don't see how you would wanna play ball after 30, it's just some fuckin toy grow up
I really don't see how you would wanna play video games after 30, it's just some fuckin toy grow up
>>191009Bro you’re old, just show up at daybreak and you’ll literally have all the time in the world to skate while the kiddos are at school and the 20 something’s have only been asleep for an hour or two.>>191014Because lifting weights and using an elliptical are gay/boring and my shit will completely fall apart at the seems if I just stay inside watching Matlock all day.
>>191014Never too old to have fun. Not all of us are content with becoming boring golems.
>>190999MAYBE I could get over it on my board, no shot with 215s and 16" wheelbase though
>>191014I really don't see how you would wanna post this in every thread, it's just some fuckin hobby grow up
>>190870based, I should try it, I think I can do ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiumzwruacQ2mins on Jaume destroying Gulliver park in Valencia Spain
>>190662he is skating and getting sweat, you bitch
>>191064He was just standing there like an autist, you ACTUAL bitch.
>>191069if you have problems with autists I gonna fuck you up
>>191070stop the cap
>>191071I had to go to the urban dictionary to understand your newborn jargon, you started calling shit about my skater fren you pay now.
>>191073How about I pay you with a knuckle sandwich?
>>191075Frick off slime breath
>>190870W I D E
>>190906I'm such a faggot, I just did some stationary ollies, I do this like once a week, always want to go out and roll arround and I never do it.
>>191087>I just did some stationary olliesFucking why? That shit is not fun at all.
>>191088To see if I still have them, basically the only thing I know to do, a high as fuck stationary ollie.
>>191089Fuck you mean if you still have them? It's like riding a bike. You don't lose that shit.>a high as fuck stationary ollieStop the cap.
>>191091my coordination is really bad and my brain farts a lot I can die very easily but I bet I can ollie higer than your bitch ass
Shut your dirty autistic non skating ass up, retard.
>>191093fuck that's what I mean, I'm gonna skate to beat your bitch ass on a SKATE game right now
new to skateboarding here. two questions. are there any boards that are not shit quality, which woodshop? and>>190448this guys like the watahmelon of skateboarding right?
>>191128pretty much anything not made in china is fine.
>>191087>always want to go out and roll arround and I never do it.Just fucking do it, c'mon anon. No need to be a bitch.
>>191087turn skating into your grocery/coffee/donut getter and try to ollie up and down the curbs along the way. imo the best way to ensure you skate frequently is not to go out skating but to make skating the way you go out to do everyday things
>>191140die e*ro
>>191144we have grocery stores in america anon
>>191140I'm thinking going to the fishing spots skating, but I need a smaller fishing rod extendible that fits on the backpack for that.
>>191148he can't imagine not driving a big shitty truck to the closest grocery store 20 miles away
>>191128>this guys like the watahmelon of skateboarding right?hes the tranny-loving gatekeeping safe-edgy npc tier zoomer faggot of skateboarding
>>190973>>190957>How young are you brothers32. I didn't think I'd be capable of it after having never been all that athletic growing up, but so long as you pace yourself you can do it.
>>191187buzzword buzzword buzzword buzzword of skateboarding
hey to touch in on >a high as fuck stationary olliethis might be bait but, let's pretend it's not I normally skate transition predominately so my flatgrounds lacking I'll often catch myself rolling around the flat and think (I should practice flatground) and subsequently pop a nice one. The optimal pop speed is obviously not dead stopped but not flying either, if you start to vary the amount of chooch you give the ollie you can cut it up into mini games like>what if i hardly squat at all >what if i take my front foot further down the board and backfoot right on the tail>what if i i have the front foot already bolts and pop deep in the pocket instead>vary speed>vary power>vary positionits probably the most important trick to be able to do reliably but so is being able to turn your board and ride around so dont neglect those aspect eitherI will say it is pretty nice to just slap down a fat one right after a nice run, the other que besides>lift your back foot>drag the front foot is throw the leading knee upwas>pop behind youwhich really helped when i started to pick up speedI'll keep it real, my kickflip is trash and practicing it is unfun.Shoves are alright, bs/fs 180s are kinda fun.backside flips sometime soon maybe
>>191191and you're simply a faggot like he is
thanks for the taunts I rode today
>>191196you can't skateyour knee is ruineddon't reply to me
>>191293rent free
you guys wear helmets? I've been learning to skate for a few weeks and have ate shit a few times but not my head. I'm not afraid to fall but I feel like wearing it would help when I'm still at the point where I could get rekt just practicing an Ollie.
>>191403I respect wearing a helmet. I don't, but I do have a helmet. I'll wear it if I want to learn to skate pools probably.
>>191403you usually get used to falling enough where hitting your head is just a really small chance of happeninglike after a half of year of skating, it probably just isn't going to happeni'm just talking street thoughif you're doing transition/vert, then it's a different storyup to you though
https://youtu.be/gWTg4WzrWqc?si=tFX3LXZaadtgjxmQDon't mind me bros just posting kino skate parts
as i get older i realize all you really need is 3 good friends to skate with and youre good, the skate community is not worth getting involved with beyond that and just buy your shit where ever you can get it for cheap. im looking forward to spring/summer
