Same, generally speaking. I finally had to make a concession though and start skating periodically with an old LG G5 in my pocket just for music. I still don't like how in some pants it feels like it inhibits movement a little bit.
No one makes a normal damn MP3 anymore besides chink eBay companies that don't work right.

Post (You)r setup.

Toy Machine 8.0 Deck
Pig Griptape & Allen Hardware
Venture 5.2 V-Light Hi's
Spitfire 52mm 101a Tablets
Spitfire Burner Bearings

Fallen 7.5 Goat Shoes

Really digging this setup, I experimented with some different shapes and sizes on stuff before settling into this. The deck has a very full shape with square kicks, extremely mellow concave. I have short but wide hobbit feet, so I can't really justify going much larger than an 8.0 board and this size/shape feels perfect for me.
I never skate street these days, there's no good local spots so I'm always at the park.

>>201256
Element logo 7.5"
Black magic grip
Shorty's Silverados
Tensor trucks
50mm shop wheels worn down to 40mm
Reds
Etnies

>>201257
Proper old school setup

>>201256
real 8.06 oval
jessup grip
mini logo trucks
spitfire 101a 52mm conicals
reds
emerica slip ons

Since I returned to skating I keep trying to find what works and I guess around 8 inch deck and 14.25-14.38 wheel base is the way to go. Im just curious about trying softer wheels since I don't like the skateparks near me much. I can find spots but I cant imagine being able to spend much time with out getting kicked out. Still searching for a private place to set up some slappy curbs and maybe more.

>>201278
Im also curious about more expensive bearings like I was thinking buying 53mm 97a classic shape wheels next time and bronson raws.

>>201279
Personally it's been a long time since I've bought into bearing marketing. Unless a bearing is actually choked up/broken, I don't normally see a huge difference between a $18 set of bearings and a $40 set of bearings.
I also don't agree with this trend of not using shields on bearings. Debris isn't just going to "fall out" of a bearing, and if you use lubricant on exposed bearings it's going to cause all that dirt and shit to stick to the balls/cage. But if you don't use lube, they're going to roll like shit quick.

I've used Bronson G3's before and they were fine, but IMO I don't agree with the marketing with the Raws.

>>201284
I like the appeal of raws in that im not going to need to maintain it at all, just hill bomb and all the dirt should fly right out.

>>201288
I've seen some other people post that they've liked the RAWs, so iunno man. Go for it if they interest you.

>>201256
8.0 deck
DKL Rubber grip
Ace classic 33
Spitfire 53mm 99a formula four
Bones reds
Vans

Rubber grip is the weirdest part, loved it at first then hated it but it eventually grew on me.
I just bought a new sheet for the new deck, planning on doing normal grip on the back and rubber on the front since my biggest issue with it is the lack of grip on the tail.

>>201291
Ive got to wait til next time I break a bearing. Same with my wheels, I cant justify new wheels when mine are still in good shape.

>>201294
I tried the rubber grip and the first time it lost grip, I took it off instead of cleaning it. Id rather just keep using shoe goo on my shoes, and honestly I can keep my shoe for pretty much a year. Plus Im still tweaking my flip tricks to get them how I want so I want consistency.

>>201295
If you skate a lot of street I'd actually keep the conical shape and get the 97a, or even try the new 93a.
Similar to a softer durometer, a wider riding surface will also give a smoother ride on rough terrain.

Or they have the radial shape and classic OG and all that stuff too. Lots of good options.

>>201295
Seen a lot of people say the same thing, they try rubber grip once then never again haha. At least for me i always got bothered with how i was wasting my shoes away with every flick, rubber grip kinda solved that. I haven't used shoe goo, the stuff i used to put on my shoes to make them last longer as a kid were always too hard and messed up the flick, gotta try it sometime

>>201297
Im scared of going too soft like 92a ricta clouds, but it might work. I dont want separate set ups, but when im cruising around the vibrations kill my feet.

>>201300
shoe goo is great if you dont care how shitty your shoes look.

Since we're talking about tearing through shoes -
Fallen is having a big season-end sale on their website right now. They do this every few months so if you're trying to scoop up shoes cheap it's worth checking out every so often.
Ordered two pairs of Bombers for $35 each.

>>201303
No thanks anon I like getting pussy

Damn bros I just remembered when I was like 18 we went to a skatepark another town over and found this dude with weed that was down to smoke with us for free, he got in the back of my van and started rolling then my friend in the back decked him and pushed him out and we rolled away with his gram of weed lol we were such retards

I think I've hit devious licks like 7 times from a skateshop

>>201362
Your friend was a real bastard for that.

>>201362

>>201362
man you're a dirty bitch to the bro

>>201363
Yea no shit but that's what we would do is drive around drunk and high all day looking for licks but that one was extra devious. I had a friend that would go Mexican bashing, aka beating the fuck out of Mexicans outside the check cashing place friday night and robbing them lol even though he was Dominican. Then I got into drugs I'm not supposed to be alive right now. I was a bigger piece of shit than you've ever seen. It was also a different era, I think this was around early death wish

Summer tour vid a must see for zoomers to get a vibe of what shit was like right before pc tranny gayness took over the world, what you were able to get away with in skateboarding was awesome

I sold this kid weed at 35:44 he was a total weirdo lol

But shit is fucking gay now plus my ankle hurts seriously what company would you even want to support nowadays. I would probably wear a independent shirt for aesthetics but they cucked so that doesn't even exist just Nike SBs for me

When I was young a bunch of kids similar to the anon above snatched my bros brand new alien workshop 7.5 and bolted, another group stole my friends bag and made him pay them to tell him where it was. There was plenty of other run ins. You'd go to some sketchy places and deal with sketchy people. No one got hurt in the end and there was many positives that outweighed the negatives. And I wouldn't trade those negative experiences for the surveillance state we live in now, where everyone is the secret police. Because most the good times wouldn't have happened too.

>>201458
true anon, that other dude is probably an outlier plus 4chan tends to attract the worst kind of people too ...all my friends that skated growing up were pretty chill. our skate shop got robbed and had to close down but it was also an indoor park that was already struggling to stay open so i think getting robbed was the last nail in the coffin for it. rip... that was probably the most fucked thing to happen i can think of

The worst thing I done is almost kill random people and my own mother in meth psychosis cause I thought I was in a cia truman show gangstalking program and thought they were in on it, the only reason I didnt is I thought cia were trying to finesse me to kill someone to end up in jail cause i was a bad society member

This reminds me of when I finessed, fucked, cucked niggers, then saved this drug slut. 20 yo blonde petite big butt big tits elf ears, tightest warmest pretty pussy. I sold her drugs once before then she told me her dad was on a business trip n I was like bet I'll let you in on something, I'll sell you a half g of this drug for $70 dollars and show you how to drop it on candy, it's 500 doses. She was like come over now lol. A whole gram only cost me $50. So I of course weasel my way into staying at her house the whole week her dad's gone and end up doing copious amounts of drugs with her slaying her pussy with my straight man cock. She invited her girl friend over but also guy friends too turns out they're all niggers trying to do what I'm doing but they can't cause my drugs and fucking style are superior, she just calls me "the plug" to them lol it made them so mad, one nigger even punched a hole in her door and stormed out after I cucked him so bad. She said she fucked all of em, but they couldn't get to her that week that was my domicile. So at the end I sat her down and told her she needs to move away to her mom's and get sober and stop fucking with niggers. She did all that cause I was the smartest person she ever came across. Like 6 months later she sent me a message begging me to start a onlyfans with her and let me manage her money. Deleted my insta soon after tho. If you want young drug sluts anons all you need is good drugs

>>201698

>>201616
also last resorts are cool but canvas ones defeat the purpose when you make a shoe out of canvas its effectively for the normies

Im doing an experiment. Ive always rode bones reds or cheaper. I took a really old set of fkd abec 3 bearings with shields that arent supposed to come off, popped the shields off with a center punch and a hook and I want to try them raw because my current reds probably could use a cleaning soon.

>>201754
i have reds on my 8.5 and ceramics on my 8 having ridden both pretty extensively I think my wheel diameter makes more of a difference provided their both formula fours specifically having even wheels all around as I have a tendency to wear my heelside rear foot wheel more cause I powerslide too much

>>201756
I just dont like the idea of maintenance. These took hits from a center punch and a 2lb ball peen hammer and everything's in place and spinning despite being like 20 years old. Just going to let them soak in dish soap and water, maybe use brake clean and a heat gun later and idk what wheels Ill put them in, but Im only skating 52-54mm for technical skating. I have 2 long board set ups that I have no idea what wheel sizes I have or bearings since I last used them over 10 years ago before I quit skating. They were supposed to be my rain board set up wheels and bearings, but now the shields are off, I just want to see how they do.

>>201759
only thing is I should find a way to put shields on the inside of the bearing, they are uniform in the place holders for the balls. or I can imagine dirt just building up inside the wheel between the 2 bearings, but that would take a long time to build up and maintenance would be just taking them out and putting them back in I guess

Be honest with me guys, is popping shields just a meme? Does it actually improve anything beyond aesthetics?

the homie behind the counter encouraged me to pop my bearings to increase the noise

I questioned the validity of allowing more dirt in

>>201775
I just like the sound

>>201775
i used to have to clean and relube my bearings whenever they'd seize up when i had shields on them. decided to go without and can't remember the last time i had to do maintenance. there's been no noticeable negative impact on them. in the long term they may not last as long, but i'd rather have shorter lived, less fuss than longer lasting, constant needing to be tended to bearings

>>201775
idk thats why I want to try. The shields were supposed to be on these permanently anyway.

hope everyone had a good sesh for skate day today

>>201936
I did. I just started skating again and learned a kickflip in my moms basement last december. I took it outside in 95+ degree weather and went to a tennis court for the first time to skate. I like the limits of my moms basement in a way because with all the space and head room I have outside on smooth ground and assuming someones going to be watching, I land the shit I practiced. I know limits of skateboarding have been pushed, but finding unique spots and getting a sexy kickflip at least will make me happy.

On the topic of kickflips, Ive always skated tight trucks and as a kid I didnt have any weight anyway. So I am forcing myself to ride loose trucks and of course am heavy now. When I pop my kickflips I have a tendency to have the board start to turn backside like its going to varial kickflip, but not enough to where I cant land. I think its from putting my weight down to unintentionally make it turn left before I pop, but idk still learning.

Also if I can ollie 3ft over the middle of the tennis court net doesnt seem like a farfetched goal, but it would be cool if I had some up high ledges to practice getting on to first. I didnt even attempt it, but I know I can do it.

>>201938
today was a huge confidence boost to say the least. I already know I can do a lot, its just skateparks are shit anymore and I dont have skatespots unless I make them alone. Ive noted a few spots to go to, but trying to save them for when I am confident enough.

Find somehwere flat, place the board own and stand on it. Lean a bit forward, a bit back, lean the best balance point.
Then go bomb a hill, shit yourself, bail and chase the unaway board down 95% of the hill.
Basically JUST DO IT!

Im trying to learn a pressure flip or a tre flip, which ever one clicks with me first. I have no idea how they work when its almost all back foot scooping. Im guessing pressure flip, back foot is closer to being over the wheel and it scoops back and forward and a tre flip has a back foot farther away from the wheel and its almost entirely just a backward scoop with all the weight down on your back toes.

youll best learn by experience and stepping on a board and maybe finding youtube videos for specific questions. Honestly sometimes tutorials mess me up more than they help because everyone does something a little different. You cant rush the process though. Like you might land a kickflip in a few days once youre at the level to start learning them, like you can do ollies and 180s and shoves, but itll take another year or more to get them good.

this is one of my locals to the T. the other is the nice guy shop thats cool with everyone and puts on lots of people. they got a small but decent indoor park they also have roller skater shit for the women and lots of zines and other shit and shoes from companies that arent nike/NB/addidas/vans. The bummer is that like 90% of skate shit that happens in the city is through the dick head shop, I went to a premier there and was getting vibed just standing outside waiting for it to start so I finished my tall can and just left. Feel bad for you guys that only have one local and its trash.

Ventura probably has the worst local scene in the whole fucking country. It's bizarre how bad it is. I am not involved with any of it though, I just skate by myself. I'm a big lurker and I am acquaintances with a lot of people here though so I kinda know what's going on. There are a lot of pros that have come out of this city relative to its size eg Diego Todd, Curren Caples, Jake Anderson, Aaron Loreth, the list could go on...

The first thing to understand is that about a year ago a new skate shop opened in town. It was a partnership between Mike Anderson and another local guy I will call A. Because of the location of Mike and A's shop it has a sort of 'hoodrat' thing going on where a lot of the people in that scene are a bit questionable. FWIW from what I've seen Mike Anderson is a good dude, I've never had a conversation with him but he's the kind of guy that will say what's up to everyone at the park and just bring a good vibe to a session.

In this city there are three skateparks which are all really bad. They were apparently built by a regular concrete company in the 90s that had no experience with skateparks. See pic related for an example. All three of the parks are basically the same; weird, steep flow bowls that you can't grind and the concrete is super bumpy and slippery due to years of being painted over. Some small street obstacles around the perimeter of the park. Two out of three have these weird vert wall obstacles. If you've followed Limosine or Frog as brands you've probably seen videos of the park in the picture being skated. There is a small group of local guys who love it and can actually rip that vert wall. Keyword here is small. These parks all basically go unskated 95% of the time. I live about 10 minutes from this park yet I'll drive 30 minutes 2-3 times a week to go skate a decent one instead.

Some of the locals here have been trying to get the city to build a new skatepark in place of West park for about a decade. A lot of them wanted to keep the original park and just expand it, which IMO is stupid but whatever, not really a big deal. In the past couple of years they ended up securing funding from the city to build a new skatepark and locked in Grindline as the builders. 2 million dollars for a new park.

The Grindline reps came to the town and basically said they couldn't keep the original park and build around it because the original park was falling apart and it would be a liability for them. No big deal, it's a shitty outdated old park that barely anyone skates, right? Nope. The locals to this park got all shitty to the point there were literally yelling at the Grindline rep in the community meeting. I was there. Jake Anderson and Curren Caples, pros which get to skate the whole world, were saying that if Grindline was going to knock down the old park to build a new one then they didn't want any new park at all. Insane. They don't even fucking live here anymore. It's worth noting this park is in the 'poor' part of town, and there are a tone of kids in this area who would really benefit from having something to do other than get into gang shit and do drugs. The Grindline rep at the meeting was kinda dumbfounded. Probably the first time he's ever had anything other than a positive reception when going to a new town.

So some time passes and I'm not sure of the details to this but basically A didn't want to (or couldn't) be a partner in the skate shop anymore and Mike Anderson bought out his part of it. I don't know whether there were hard feelings or not. Well part of the reason that Mike Anderson opened this shop in the location was because it is close to where the new park is going to be built which would have been great for business and the local skate community because it's within skating distance of the park.

>>202111
dang that park does look like shit. no reason to keep it really.

its a shame there used to be basically a mega park, a mini pipe, a full halfpipe, beginner section, street section and wood section and it was taken down in favor of more movie theatre screens like 10 years ago.

The funding for the new park will end in 2025. If that park hasn't been built by that time then Ventura won't get a new park and the decade-long effort to get a new one will have been worthless.

So now, 6 months before that funding will be reallocated to something else, A has started a petition to stop the new construction so they can keep the old park. It's the most ridiculous shit ever. They are saying that getting a new park is just an attempt to gentrify the area. These guys are saying that this shitty park that was built in the late 90s is some important part of skateboarding and Ventura history akin to Derby park or something in Santa Cruz. It seems like A is just doing it to spite Mike Anderson and the new shop. I don't even know, it's the most bizarre fucking thing ever. And a lot of other retards in the scene are just going along with it and supporting it because most skateboarders are just braindead normies who will follow authority rather than think for themselves.

If they lose funding for the new park and we miss out on having pic related instead of the previous pictures I'm going to be so bummed.

Sorry if I rambled i just needed to rant about how retarded the skate scene in Ventura is for a minute. I feel like anywhere else in the world would be so fucking excited to have a brand new grindline park in their town but people in this city are just spastics.

>you dont even fucking live here you globetrotting cunt i actually have to skate this dogshit

>>202169

Honestly due to the sketchiness of some of the people involved in the skate scene here I just kept my mouth shut during the meeting. It's a weird mix of rich hipster kids (like Curren Caples) and legitimate gang-banger types. These people would hold grudges and recognise me at the skatepark if they saw me. I'm also not from here and there is a heavy local element so basically anything I say is just going to be written off as a white blow-in trying to gentrify the town or something.

Luckily there are enough local dudes that have their heads screwed on straight that there is some backlash against this retardation but my God it's frustrating.

Seriously though if you want something safe go play golf or some shit.

not safe, I'm just scared of fucking my back again so I guess which one is gentler on that as far as jumping shit

I wouldn't know I've never wanted to fruitboot in my life. I imagine skating is probably safer just because you can bail out of tricks

>>202219
>I can barely ride switch

Then you don't skate and your opinion is irrelevant. Respectfully. If you've done multiple sports you'd know. When I dunk for example I have a preference which foot to have forward when doing a 2 foot jump. When I do flips I have a different preference which foot to jump form. Could be different for skating for different people. Easiest way to know is whichever foot naturally goes front when you're about to slide on ice.

Anyone decent on miniramps/qp's got advice for getting onto the coping/doing fly-outs when the transition is steep/higher? I'm OK at babby heights, but anything over 4ft starts making me feel like I'm going to slip out as I approach the coping, which makes me unconciously kill my speed before I can even get to it. I'd like to just do a fly-out or something on a ramp like pic related, something that has no coping so the fear of that isn't there, but I just can't get my balance right and I always lose all my speed and end up getting no air as I go over. Sometimes it's so bad I go over doing a fucking manual cause my weight is all over the place. I think it's the fear, but not sure what I can do to get over it.

I guess you are right, it's all in my head, skateboarding is 99.9999999% mental, just send it, stop being a faggot, just commit and, of course, ride away clean.

Gain all of your speed on the run up, stay crouched the whole way through, don't pump, start off with rock-outs then work towards rock outs where you bonk the back wheel over, start with the smallest airs you can manage.

Newfag blogpost incoming, I just tried to skate for the first time.
There's a tennis close to me so I went there to practice a bit, just tried to move and stay on the board basically. Fell once early on
Haven't managed to go on a straight line for over 3-4 seconds yet, I always end up turning a bit towards left (found it more natural to ride with my right foot forward). I also managed to turn towards the said side intentionally when I am riding straight but with small increments but for the hell of me I couldn't ever manage to go the other side.
I think it's because I can't move my damn front foot properly so it says like pic rel and I'm not sure exactly how my other foot should stay on the board ( if either my toes or sole's supposed to stick out and if it's supposed to be at an angle or just sideways)
Thanks for reading my blogpost I'll try to be better next time

>There's a tennis close to me
Tennis court*, damn I can't even post correctly

>>202268
Are you on the spectrum?

>>202268
Have you been making sure to drop your hips and bend your knees a bit? I find that usually helps maintain my centre of balance, not full on slav-squat on the board of course(unless going for some style points), just a few centimetes lower.
Either way, keep it up!
You can read all the theory you want but ultimately the only way to improve is by doing., you can do it, Anon!

conspiracy theory time: there is one single anon who continuously larps and posts as tho they are a noob/how do I skate fag to derail these threads.

I can't really skate switch either mostly enjoy transition but rolling fakie just feels un-natural

t. surf enjoyer

>>202282
I think it's just the passing interest of attention-deficit technology kids
they see some skate clips or watch a video, think skating looks cool and easy, want to try it (but don't want to actually bother googling how to get into it), get put off when it requires effort, and then move on to the next thing

>>202287
Pretty plausible. Hell, one of my cousin's kids wants to learn about gardening but can't even keep a potted basil alive indoos because it's too much effort to water every other day

hi anon, i also stepped on a skateboard for the first time today and I have several theories and logical breakdowns about why I couldn't stand on it for more than 5 seconds, and what I should apply to my approach and mindset for the next time I try to step on, all of which should improve the time I am able to reliably stand on it (i predict I can double the time). Pic related is just one of the samples of how I documented the best way to begin my journey to becoming a skater, and I think i've theory crafted the basics to a decent standard, but the part i found hardest was the practice. I didn't try to step on it it for second time today as i felt the one session was enough for now to give me a sensible taste for what it's like and to make sure I don't overdo it. It will also give my brain a chance to process what happened so that when i come back tomorrow I will be more mentally prepared (also gives me time to study how to step off safely instead of falling off and hitting the ground face down like I did!). honestly, I was terrified to try, but enjoyed it alot in the end, but at this stage the only thing is that I spent more time putting on and take off all my pads and helmet and driving to my spot than I did on that actual session, but I know that's probably typical in the beginning and will balance out over time. anyway good luck, you seem to also have ideas about how to improve, i'm honestly impressed you managed to roll on your first ever time, keep it up.

>>202308
this is too funny

nobody who started skating when they were a kid ever thought about 95% of the shit you nerds do.

>>202180
Run and slide along the ground (like you would with socks and floorboards). Which ever foot is naturally going forward is your stance. This is the only scientifically tested method I know of to accurately find out someone's correct stance.

no, only retards that can't tell what their lead foot is do that to figure it out
it's built for you

>spends an hour skating, can barely go a foot let alone balance on the thing

pretty pathetic. 6 year old me put the board down and knew what to do just from playing thps.

Can someone help me find a skate video?

I saw this on Youtube years ago. It was some teenagers skating on some abandoned mall, I think it was on paris or something. The edit was cool, there was some hip hop music playing on the background
I'm searching for this shit for about an hour and I can't find it. It got me back into skateboarding some years ago
Thanks for the help

for the anon who kept spamming about Lenz 3 many many threads ago.

Only thing that pisses me off is that I really liked how those trucks felt. Been chasing that feeling forever

fucking tweakers man. they'll probably get $5 for your board and if they dont they'll just trash it.

I remember being scared of dropping in and slamming a few times trying but that was a while ago so hard to remember really. Honestly the first few years of skating are the funnest. You progress so slowly. It's harder being around 30 and learning one new trick every 6 months (while losing two others)

>>202235
Just gotta get your weight forward and lift your back leg up as soon as you get out of the ramp. It ain't nothing son.

>>201695

If your trucks don't look like this I will cool guy you

>>202462
>Just gotta get your weight forward and lift your back leg up as soon as you get out of the ramp.
Guess I gotta work on my timing then, cuase putting my weight forward is what kills my speed. I'm probably gonna slam hard working this out, but no pain no gain and all that.

>>202463
Too late, I've cool guyed you before you even get the chance to look at my trucks. I'm cool guying you right now.

>>202463
You need new trucks at this point.

wear pads and a helmet the first few times then once you got it take them off, dont be stupid keep it fun

Nah bro don't risk these exploding under your feet and you doing a triple flip and falling on your neck and ankles at the same time, ruining your life. Change your trucks asshole.

Hello…based department?

>>202558
Cringe, gay and bluepilled

I keep going up and down in deck width. Im at 8.06, I think I wanna go up to 8.38-8.5 next board, but I want a shorter wheel base than 14.5

>>202560
I went from 7.75 to 8.25 and it felt like a different beast
Got used to it after a couple of months and like it even better
I feel more stable

>>202561
I returned to skateboarding last december on a old 7.6 I had. Ive skated boards from 7.6-8.38. I can flip the 8.38 just fine, but a 14.5 inch wheel base is a little long. The nose sometimes hits my shin when Im ollieing. I thought ~8 inch was going to be perfect, but I still feel like its small. I have to accept the future of skating is fatter boards and give up on really low trucks too because nothing has a short tail and nose like I want to compliment low trucks.

>>202567
I also dont want to go away from deluxe boards now that I tried 1 real board and 1 krooked board and they feel so solid and have nice concave and shape for me, but Im curious about a 8.5 twin tip girl board or twin tip chocolate board. Never tried those brands.

>>202560
I too watched Professor Schmidt on the nine club and second guessed everything I have.
I went through gear autism for what dragged on to be a few years, settled on a larger set up and accepted I'm not flipping my board much anymore. Had to actively resist that part of my brain firing again.
I think any board will work for you once you get used to it. It's just taking the time to make the adjustments needed to get it working. After many changes my staple tricks were always there and a handful of others got harder or easier. But if I had them on lock like the others in don't think it'd matter as much.
*According to Schmidt I should have a 15"+ wheelbase but I found it too hard to tre flip anything above 14.75.

>>202569
I cant even imagine a 15 inch wheel base lol. I need like 14.25-.38 and I think the reason I want to ride wider is when I was a kid I always rode my trucks tight as fuck and now that Im trying to not tiktak out of my landings anymore I have loose trucks and 8.06 even seems too unstable for me.

>>202533
this is a perfect example of why these threads are so shit. you cant have your trucks end up like this without being a complete and total retard

>>202570
Yeh I think the 'you are x so must use y' scale breaks a little. 15" seems wild.
Try some bones bushings maybe to help with that, I can't use any other.
>>202571
What are you on about? He has shredded those completely down, it's based.

>>202572
I have 8.0 hollow indies with bones 97a top bushing and stock bottom bushing, but I dont like indies it turns out. Too high and heavy even hollows. My venture 7.6 trucks have 101a dohdohs and I have 2 sets of fresh ones because I thought that was what I was going to ride for ever, but idk anymore. I have 8.38 mini logo trucks on my 8.38 with stock bushings and they turn like indies, but theyre low, cheap and lighter than indie hollows and dont shorten the wheel base as much and so far my favorite trucks. I would like to experiment with the bushings on mini logo trucks, but havnt yet.

lmao another great example of why these threads are shit. dudes never done a crook in his life.

>>202490
i will get new trucks when these ones crack. when the grooves are worn in like this it is so easy to lock into grinds that you don't wanna stop riding them.

>>202533
you must really like nose/tail slides
as you can see i get literally no wear on the pivot cup becuse i just do 50s everywhere basically.

>>202582
crooked grinds are unironically for homosexuals. when i see a guy at a park just roll up and start doing crooked grinds i leave immediately because i know he's signalling to the other fags that he's ready to be buttfucked and i don't want to catch airborne HIV. just say no to the crooked fags, homies

Bit on the nose with the message, but I get it.

>>202582
Are you blind? You can't see the massive crook groove that I have down to the axle?

>>202571
I probably just skate more than you do and/or am not as picky about when I switch my trucks out

>>202539
Mostly too many noseslides on crusty ledges. My crook groove has def seen some slappy action though

>>202603
>I probably just skate more than you do
lmao

>>202650
Yes, its not odd for someone to have exposed axles on their trucks from skating so much. You'll get there one day

>>202569
bear in mind Paul Schmidt has never done a tre flip, and he's not even a real professor

>>202659
>its not odd for someone to have exposed axles on their trucks from skating so much
its actually incredibly odd lmao

>>202661
It's not odd at all. Most people I know skate their trucks down to the axle and sometimes longer. My busted baseplate is definitely more odd.

I'll keep posting my truck gore, or my shattered knee when my hanger finally slips.

I literally have no one to skate with and it's extremely depressing
