>Skateboarding is 90% mind 10% body.
Bullshit. If you're just getting started, it's more like 70/30 with 70 being body, until you build the correct muscles and muscle memory, then it's transposed. Most good skaters have no fucking mind to speak of, they don't fucking think. They are, however, physcially fit and... wait. They have no minds, but they are good? Maybe it is 90% mental, but they have that aspect removed, like the equivalent of retard strength, but for skating? If you have a brain you cannot skate well. No, Mark Suicune is not smart and autismo powers like Andy Autison and Rowdy Rodney Mullers is cheating.

>>203632

that part where he pushes standing on the rail while doing some 90 degrees, I supose

>>203632
i agree... its more like 90% body 10% mind.. its all balance and being comfortable on your board. grinding those hours in... the 90% mind shit is the biggest bullshit ever. The onlything mind comes in for is being creative and standing out(inventing new tricks. skating new spots, old spots in new ways etc). but it has nothing to do with skill

>>203656
on the big handrail the first section he put wrapped yoga matts and waxed them so he wouldn't grind too fast

His part was good but I'll also never watch it again

new gh where he subverts expectation (see >>203435 ) and compliments Andy despite having a break in the mask when Andy starts using his heel to slow down a grind and make 90 degree turns on some Lenz type shit

>>203677
this
the pushing on the rail for the corner grinds made sense cuz what else can you actually do but using shit to slow you down is just corny
just don't hit the rail then

>>203713
i dont want gh on principle because """influencers""" and """content creators""" are faggots

>>203713
every once in a while gh pretends he's into the kind of skating he'd usually shit on just to be contrarian cause his viewers can't form their own opinions

@203713
omg daddy made a new video? i will now change all my opinions about andy

>>203713
>>203719
but i do think some of the tricks would be infinitely cooler if max palmer or mango did them which is a point i think he made during the stream so maybe he really did fw the skating idk i just noticed his contrarian nature sometimes...

devils advocacy is a good stance to take when you're a contrarian ( well played gh)

I think I finally figured out how I want my kickflips. My feet were too close together and front foot too much off the side. Also I was popping the tail too much toe side to try to balance myself from not turning when setting up. Basically, front foot 45 degree angle, just behind the front bolts, back foot right on the tip of the center, shoulders straight and weight kind of leaning forward. Im just not used to the hang time and the tail coming up so high when I get a good pop yet.

It says on the Woodshop directory they're PS Stix boards. There's only so many major woodshops producing boards and it's more about shape and press preference over anything else. I like Chapman boards personally though many people prefer smaller brands like Pennswood that is made in the USA or else DSM Resin 7 who make a solid, long lasting shape.

guys - i've been stuck on tre's for a while... i don't really practice them much but was wondering if anyone had the same issue as i or tips..

I can spin the board 360 perfectly under me but I always land upside down. the kickflip never finishes and I always land basically perfectly on the bottom of the board. everytime i try to kind of "kick" harder the board flies away or something else. i keep hearing its all in the back foot but I'm RARELY able to land on the board right side up.

>>204013
It is all in the back foot, but your front foot still guides the flip. Simply adjust your front foot position. Don't try to flick harder keep focusing on the scoop. When I'm under flipping them I find its because I'm pointing my toes too much on my front foot.

>>204014
so point it less forward? i do kind of point it forward (towards the nose) and my actual feet are close together when i pop.

>>203945
skate shops are way more lucrative than people think. we shouldn't feel pressure to support them.

>>204020
I think that's only in certain areas. I'm sure my local is starving.

First time poster here. Almost all my life I enjoyed watching people skate, I played all of the games but never gotten into doing it myself. Now I am 38 and I need a hobby where I don't sit on my ass al day. Is it too late to start skating?

>>204026
no. how fat are you though? you should try to be in at least "decent" shape or you're slams are going to suck and you are likely to get injured if you are just beginning to learn

I had this dumb idea that since my warm up sessions always have terrible timing, id just force a warm up immediately after I got out of my car from work and immediately fell and rocketed my board on my first ollie, then my second I destroyed my ankle with the tail of my board somehow. Like the grip stuck to my front foot and my back foot ended up under the tail, I have no idea. The pain is settling now, but it is radiating all the way to my knee.

>>204039
At least you have a knee still. Today I had to go outside and since the weather was bussin I saw street skaters everywhere. I want to skate so bad bro...

>>204040
True. The pain is subsiding and Ill crack up if I try to do a warm up sesh again and my timing is perfect despite only slamming on 2 ollies.

It just seems like my first session of the day never improves until I take a break and come back to it.

might go to the park in covina tomorrow. so yeah, if anyone's in the area, don't go so i can have to park all to myself

>>204041
yeah my real warm up, my timing is all fucked and painful. Idk if its in my head, but the extra humidity today makes my grip tape feel extra grippy.

you need to get your front foot out of the way faster as weird as it seems.. flick earlier and earlier. basically you are flicking too late like a kickflip. you want to flick right away. it also helps to put ur front foot lower and lower on the board. the more ur foot is closer to the bolts the more it will interfere. let me know if this helps.. flick super early and/or bring ur foot lower than the middle of the board

why are kickflips so much more popular than heelflips? the heelflip actually makes your flick foot kick out much more than kickflips. Do you (personally) use your heel for heelflips? I haven't learned them yet but the trick tutorials I see say to use the upper outside part to flick like in a kickflip.

>>204384
For heelflips you just kick out and the flip is easier than a kickflip but the landing is harder as it has a tendency for the board to end up behind you. The heel is the last part to make contact with the board but you use most of the sole for the flick.

Normies can’t differentiate between the two desu

I use my pinky toe to guide and flick out. I found it’s not so much about the heel that completes the flick desu that just helps with the follow through. I land them more consistently when I put more pressure on the heel side back pocket of the tail

He must have paid for some algorithm pushes or some shit, cause he's popping up all over my YT recs as well recently and fucking up my carefully curated algorithm.

On a level of 1-10, how dangerous is it to use a board that you're pretty sure is getting on in it's years?
I think the thing is like 6(?) years old (excluding how old it was back when I got it second hand) (dug it out in a cleanout a month or so back), and while it feels stable enough, I'm just concerned about putting my foot through it.

>>204626
1? its not that dangerous. I have 2 old boards and they arent very flexible but they seem hardened as fuck.

>>204626
Just buy a new one wtf? What is it with you guys? Why do so many posters here do this?

I am so afraid to slam because if I hurt my ankles or wrists I can't work. (FedEx driver). I am not afraid of the pain it's about being able to pay my rent so it's so hard to overcome the fear and commit to new tricks. I regret not skating when I was younger and people didn't depend on me.

No. It's a heinous and hideous trick, and it does nothing to help you progress in any other facet of skating. It's a circus trick that is only impressive to normies. Learn how to actually hardflip.

Also, I just got back from skating. It was a good session.

is it possible as a 30yo boomer to learn to properly ollie? i could probably ollie 2 decks at most when i was 16 and i kinda just gave up on ollies and only really skated transition since then. i'm a decent skater, like i'm not a 'how do i ollie' poster, i just never really mastered that trick. at most i think i could ollie up a curb now. i think i should just spend like half an hour a day doing nothing but ollies. i want to be able to pop fat ollies like grant taylor

>>204698
started at 25, 31 now can ollie and didn't practice it at all just stick to pumping back and fourth on the half pipe part of the local bowl and eventually you'll have the muscles to just do it, you jump as if it were just a flat floor beneath you and on your way up you tap the tail to pop it up and then lean forward to level it out
on flat practice pushing forward and backward for both regular, switch and regular mongo and switch mongo and you'll never fall again

it depends how high you can jump with just your legs. Also I think a lot of people mess up thinking they have to slide their front foot. It does slide on the grip tape to level up, but first your front foot actually goes straight up, then forward and down.

>>204698
Yes. Just go through the steps, put in the time. Maybe consider some light stretches/yoga/taichi beforehand to warm up. But just go through the stages, trust the process.

i went to watch a skate competition and it was pretty nice. i didnt know any pros though except the guy with no calves

i learned ollies so young. I quit for so many years and just came back to it this year. I started practicing nollies and its so satsifying when they start to take shape. I never thought I could do it. Granted I still only get like 2 inches of ground clearance, but still. More practice coming.

>>204723
I went batshit trying to perfect my ollies when I first started. Would literally do them non-stop for half hour, daily until I had to take week-long breaks because I was fucking myself up too much. It is easy to start getting the motion, but to have the balance to do nicely popped and controlled ollies takes fucking ages. I would recommend doing them fakie as well. I ignored fakie ollies entirely, then started doing some this weekend and realised it's not as intimidating as I thought and much easier to get them to feel nice and floaty.

Who is the most stylish skater any why is it Jim Greco? Also what video parts is everyone watching???
>>204764
Just out of curiosity, how where you fucking yourself up practicing flat ground ollies??? For me personally when I was starting out going really low through your knees helped me a lot. Practicing pop shuv its helps a lot for your pop too. Practice daily, but don't forget to switch it up a little as well. Also standing next to a stair or ledge or anything to land on to helps a ton.

>>204767
>Just out of curiosity, how where you fucking yourself up practicing flat ground ollies
Here's a few reasons: being out of shape, not having any of the muscles developed for/from skating a lot, being in my mid 30's, not resting enough in between sessions, going too hard for my physical fitness level each session, doing this stuff on top of weight lifting/cardio. That probably covers it. When I say 'fucking myself up', I just mean getting physcially exhuasted and having to take longer breaks from over-doing it, which is expected. This shit is hard unless you have been doing it a lot from a young age.

>>204724
>>204764
Same. My back would get pretty damn sore from repeated impact.

>>204767
>>204773
oh, and just to be clear, when i say practicing for half hour each session, I mean doing them constantly without much breaking because I was fucking obsessed. So doing 10 odd attempts in a minute, maybe stopping for 30s, then doing another 10, and repeat for a good half hour solid. I think that's physcially taxing for most people. I would also do this on top of doing 2-3 hour skate sessions twice a week. Real dumb shit stuff, but hey, I would say I have a nice ollie now at least.
>>204775
It was my ankles and shins for me.

>>204773
Actually I learned all my basics when I was 11 and 12 waaay back in the day and haven't really learned that much new flatground stuff over the years. A lot of my homies who started skating at a later age can only really do tranny stuff and suck anything street, can barely pop an ollie or a 180. So I commend you for learning the basics at a later age. Gonna try to commit to learning some new flip tricks myself. first time I will really obsessively practice flatground stuff since the 2000's probably.
>>204778
>I would say I have a nice ollie now at least.
And that's all that matters! being able to consistently ollie up and down stuff when riding the streets is so satisfying.

>>204779
It's all I got. I have a well popped and fairly floaty ollie, decent height, nice and levelled, but literally can't do any other flatground trick and refuse to commit when I do try. Working on it, though. Got the foundations set to land fs 180, pop shove and a kickflip, but I just gotta get the balls to commit to them moving. All it takes is one cunt to encourage me, but I don't get to skate much these days and when I do it's usually alone.

Anyone got a tl;dr on thrifted baiter's video on that guy that wears a beanie all the time? Can never remember his name. I really don't feel like watching it, it's too long for no reason.

>>204780
mmm, you'll get there. A kickflip is definitely a step above a pop shuv and a 180 those shouldn't be that hard. Actually you could try doing fakie 180's I think they come easier for some people. Think of fakie 360s on flatground a lot of people can do them but regular ones are pretty fucking hard.

For trying to bring politics into his local skateboarding diy community. tim pool offered prize money to his local DIY but they didn't want it. After that tim pool decided to buy the land the DIY was on and claims he has no plans to retaliate towards the locals that rejected his offer of prize money but then goes on to say that he does have an agenda to get kids into right wing politics through the spaces provided in skateboarding. idk it's all really stupid. tim pool is trying to act like he doesn't have an ulterior motive with buying the land the diy was on but obviously has an agenda and is not welcomed by the locals at the his local diy. Plus the DIY already has an agreement with their City that it was fine for them to be there and build stuff before tim pool bought it.

Can anyone give me a qrd on Chris cole
I m not reading a 44 page slap thread on it

>>204806
>Plus the DIY already has an agreement with their City that it was fine for them to be there and build stuff
To be fair, this would only extend until ANYBODY bought the land. If Baldybeanie conserves the park, doesn't go changing it all up(as he is now entitled to do) or throwing his weight around about X.Y,Z then it's probably far safe in his ownership than if, say, McDonalds bought the land.
Only time will tell, can only hope he's less of a cunt than far too many of the politic zombies.

>>204807
It's ancient news. He's a total psycho and would beat his wife. I'm surprised they're freaking out about it now.
This was a few years ago, but when he stopped riding for Plan B and DC shoes, my local shop owner was even mentioning how NOBODY was ever going to give him boards or shoes. Nobody wanted to go near him. And he was right. He didn't have a board sponsor for a while until he got back on Zero, and he rides(rode) for some weird South American reboot of Fallen footwear. It was like some sort of open secret that he was a piece of shit. So he wasn't going to get any big contracts after that.

tl;dr wife beater and lots of people knew

>>204808
i agree for the most part but the way he went about it was lame as fuck and obviously out of spite then he wonders why the locals want nothing to do with him and part of me even thinks it's lame that the locals rejected his prize money like yeah tim pool sucks but money is money that 12k, 6k and 2k cash prizes could have really helped people out in the community. i'd be pissed if i was a local ripper that actually stood a chance to catch a bag like that but some fuck from the diy said no

>>204793

why is this so hard to understand

if tim jewool was a leftoid that rioted with BLM and was a loud supporter of LGBTQIA++++ on this podcast and had a promo for There and Glue skateboards on his shillcast, none of this would have ever happened. Even Grifter Baiter would suddenly ignore or like his skating

>>204809
I don't blame him, it would feel good to beat a pretty woman I bet

>>204822
i listened to a 9 club with him a while back and he definitely sounded like the type of guy to beat his wife

it's weird man i grew up with zero new blood being my favorite video ever but now at age 30 it's hard to look back on it and think about how chris and jamie t were such pieces of shit and a lot of the rest of the guys just got chewed up and spit out after that vid

everyones a piece of shit in their own way

>For trying to bring politics into his local skateboarding diy community
I ended up wasting my time watching the video and the truth is somewhere in the middle. As usual reddit lover is your typical leftycuck with his shitty non arguments. He was shilling for nike in the video in fact. On the other hand the people on his podcast don't skate and have no idea about anything. Tim sucks ass from watching his clips although he does in fact skate so he's part of the """community""" either way. The take away I got from this is that probably in the past he was being excluded due to his political views because the skaters there are cringecucks, as evident by some IG post that was shared, and also by common sense, and now he has a grudge or some shit. If I was him I'm destroying the DIY. Since he's not though these little hoes should stop crying. Also his board in the background is cringe. Looks like some revive shit.

I need your advice. It may be possible that I am retarded.

I just started to learn skating and I am still trying to figure out wether I should go regular or goofy.
My dominant foot is the right one. It's also the one where I can keep my balance better. My brain tells me to use the right foot at the front, so goofy.

But as soon as I would try to ollie (not that I can already) my brain tells me that my right foot should be at the back to pop the board.

When I use the left foot at the front, It feels much unsafer and everything becomes hard.

What should I do? Should I force my self to go regular but have the right feeling for tricks or should I go goofy and pop with the left foot which feels bad?

>>204888

>>204892
Do you have the same "problem" or what makes you think goofy suits me better. Just interested.

>>204888
skate mongo

>>204888
Stop thinking about ollies and learn to just ride around. Ride up and down banks. Ride in mellow transition. Go as fast as you possibly can comfortably. Your stance will naturally reveal itself.

>>204880
It's out of control. I've been attacked at this one street plaza spot before and had homeless rifling through my bag when my back is turned.
>>204886
Yeah, usually I don't have to worry about them that early in the morning. This dude showed up at 8am. I even saw a park worker talking to him like he knew him because he probably lives somewhere in the surrounding park. I had been there since 6 so at least I got a solid session in before he appeared.

>>204895
I am afraid that it works like learning guitar. A bad technique is imprinted fast and hard to get rid off. I didn't want to make the same mistake again.

For the longest time I thought it was Valley and not Vallely

>>204897
It can be once you start actually doing tricks, but it won't matter until you have a solid foundation of being comfortable on your board. Seriously, learn to tic tac, learn to revert, learn to manual on flat, get comfortable lifting your board by the tail to turn, bend your knees, carve around. If you can already ride comfortably when you begin to ollie it will be easy as hell to learn.

Doing stationary ollies on grass or carpet is what will build bad habits in my opinion.

>>204903
I think you're right. Thank you.

>>204893
i think goofy is the objectively stronger stance cause you are using your right and dominant foot to flick the board. any foot can pop the tail. popping the tail is simple compared to the precision required to flick a bunch of different ways to do flatground tricks

>>204888
agree with other anons to go goofy. I have better balance on my left leg so I ride regular. The pop for ollies comes mostly from the ankle and most of the jump happens on your stronger leg. It just takes time and practice.

>>204897
You cant really learn wrong in skateboarding. What ever works, works. I learned a kickflip, didnt like how it looked so I had to learn how to do it better, but now I can just kickflip 2 different ways.

>>204888
trips of truth
>It may be possible that I am retarded.

conventional wisdom was

>>204942
i typed more than that, but conventional wisdom was - if you are standing square with both toes lined up and take a step forward, whichever foot comes forward in that step is the lead foot.

>>204945
as someone who practices boxing and skateboarding i fight south paw and skate regular. It doesnt matter just get good by trying.

Only one true way to know your stance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2UVsyVLLcE

>>204917
that's not true though. examples include pushing mongo and mall grabbing

>>204913
Yeah I don't know how some people are just naturally regular. Like when you play basketball you jump off your left foot mostly. Divegrass you plant your left to kick. Baseball you plant your left when pitching, etc. It makes so much more sense for your left foot to be doing the popping.

Wow I can tell you have been shredding in the streets. I am actually a mongo pusher and have been a competent skateboarder for uhhh 2 decades. don't care, I'm not a pro. I don't need style and steaze points.
>>204897
I get what you're saying as someone who learned skateboarding young and started at guitar later and picked up some sloppy habits in my playing. (which I embrace) Outside of the mongo pushing which you really do get used to and is hard to get rid off. Like the other anon said, you learn everything sloppy then it gets better then it becomes clean just with practice so don't overthink it just practice a lot and be consistent. And most importantly don't be a pussy. Don't chicken to drop in, ollie the 5 stair. Technique is overrated, fearlessness and confidence is where it is at.

The stance thing, apparently Ali Boulala learned how to skate regular even though he is left footed so then he switched and then he became like really good at skating switch. So even if you learn it wrong you will need to learn nollies and switch stuff so it really doesn't matter. You need to put in the hours and not be a pussy.

>>205019

Yeah it just looks like shit
And makes it awkward to push when you already moving at speed
And outs you as someone who probably likes tim pool and other niggerjewfaggots

but yeah nothing wrong with it bud

any time I've been to France I've noticed that the majority of skaters there push mongo lmao

Is 20 too old to learn how to skateboard and talk to cute girls at skateparks?

>>205032
You people are fucking retarded. try doing it, push mongo. look at your foot how much further you can put your foot on the ground. mongo = more speed when pushing this is a fact. The only reason why regular pushing is preferable is because you can get in to your stance easier/quicker. which yes when having a short run up to say a long stair or something can be tricky. I am known to skate insanely fast actually. People have called me the local John Cardiel.

>>205078
I'm 30 and still talk to cute zoomer girls at the skatepark, I'm married though so I don't flirt or anything. I always see the spark in their eyes go out when I mention 'my wife'. But by God if I wasn't married I would be swimming in zoomer skate park pussy

sick video, a real shame that asics look like complete dog shit though.

>>205079
I pushed mongo for maybe 3 years before some older person told me not to. I am capable of both and when my legs are tired on long skates I alternate. I thought you were full of shit but reading this it makes sense. You can full open your hips and get a bigger push from mongo. The downside being the readjustment you probably lose some speed vs the efficiency of normal pushing.
Also maybe your dominant leg matters, I skate regular and my right foot is stronger so, I feel I get a better push off it than my left.
