>>207401>Thread videoI've been watching this and his newer video on repeat for like a month. Always gets me juiced to skate.
>>207403Hell yeah brother have you been through the vegan x bones playlist? it's his older vids that he took down i think >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiYNebMJ9Hc&list=PLzM8qKY_F5mFBWwK_CFdR5XzhZlf4_5TA
>>207404I haven't, but I'm gonna go through it now
this one from Jason is goodhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH94DJjUIcc
>>207401top 5 favorite videos for me. skated two nik stain hand me down decks I picked outta a stack of like 25 hardly used decks he dropped off.
>>207401new nike vid>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi-mTjshD-s
>>207477>thread video is by Johnny Wilson>first posts are about his other videos>new Nike video>Filmed by Will Miles, Johnny Wilson, and Anthony Travis. >Edited by Will Miles and Johnny WilsonThis thread is starting off strong
>>207477damn i cant wait to watch this later
>>207477Ok that was actually amazing.
>>207477heavy video
>>207404Karims part was really awesome and standout especially in a sea of robots liked dylan jaeb, karims style looks so unique
>>207477kinda hate that deedz got the last part i dont get the hype with that dude
>>207477>no grant taylorfuck this video
>>207518you need glasses anon
>>207401what are you guys opinions on names in the videos? lots of people whining about the new nike vid not having names but they put all the names in order of appearance in the video description. i think it's fine desu and having names in the video would distract from the skating when theres a different person every 5 seconds. I think names title cards are good when it's a part that is at least 3-5mins long like older full length vids but not for these montages with 50+ people.
>>207548Agreed with everything you said. There was so many skaters, some of them having really short clips. It makes sense in this case. Plus if you're actually involved in keeping up with skating you'll know like 95% of them already.ALSODeedz footage was nuts. None of those things looked like skate spots.
>>207548names arent neccessary unless its a small/new company with relatively unknown skaters. names in like a limousine or baker or creature or whatever video makes no sense 90% of the people watching are gonna know who everyone is.
Its pretty fucking amazing how even like 10 years ago it was "fuck nike, fuck big money/non skate companies in skateboarding" and now everyone is 100% on board with nike and every new vid release is hyped to shit cause they put on so many fucking great skaters and put out such solid vids.
>>207561all of the other companies are run by complete morons. soletech seems to be doing everything possible to go out of business. and i say that as someone that would only skate in emericas.
>>207561yup and don't forget how they also progressed shoe technology forcing other companies to actually make shoe that last and can take impact.
>>207565>>207567Their shoes are just so damn good too. Nikes look good and last a long ass time. I stocked up on blazers during spring sales, so I'm set for the fall and winter. Then I see this new video, and I'm reminded just how many of my favorite skaters they support.
>>207569>I'm reminded just how many of my favorite skaters they support.Exactly, they can't be all that bad. Their massive nike bucks are going back into supporting worthy talent and letting them skate places they might not be able to make otherwise, funding trips for 50 odd skaters is not happening with many other companies, besides maybe redbull.
>>207506>>207520
>>207570who's buying redbull so that they can afford to do that?
>>207571ride on grinds are lame, his fits suck and Daan should have had the last part
>>207572they make billlions per year, anon, have you seen the amount of shit they fund and the sponsorships they do for extreme sports? They have they fingers in all the /xs/ pies across the globe. They're not at Nike's level, but they are also not as far behind as you seem to think.
>>207574His clothing has veered off into that strange euro trash look that starts to border on mentally ill. Which makes it great.>>207572Redbull is unironically the third largest soft drink company behind Coke and Pepsi. In the whole world. Probably even in the whole galaxy.
>>207572sugar free redbull is fucking delicious, a 12oz sugar free redbull and 2 shooters of vodka makes for a great skate sesh.
>>207561It sucks and it is why skateboarding is in such a shit place filled with faggots and trannies and zoomies and no money.>>207565>all of the other companies are run by complete moronsThey just don't have Nike's corporate marketing budget.If you wear corporate shit when skating I will assume you are a gay ass punk.
>>207593I'm not going to support Soletech just for the sake of it when their products are half the quality of Nike, Addidas, or NB. The only thing I think when I see someone wearing eS or Etnies is that they are old
>>207571>>207588okay i watched deedz part again and nitpicks aside i take back what i said. he's good, he goes big, he's different. i see the appeal
>>207593Go buy some Opus shoes then.
I JUST WANT TO SHOPI JUST WANT TO BUY SKATEBOARDEY THINGSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA why is it so fun I don't need new wheels but I want to try oj elite formulaadvertising too goodmy ollies got a little higher yesterday wew
>>207589I've been thinking of starting with a little bit of wine to try to get rid of the shakey legs scared like a little bitch of falling feeling at the beginning fasterI'll try it next time
>>207602Show up to the park with wine, baguettes and cigarettes and I'll bring coffee and something gay like flan.
i will continue to wear etnies and emericas until sole tech puts themselves out of business. their sales are amazing. last year I got 5 pairs of shoes for less than 100 dollars free shipping. i have so many shoes right now I rotate between 5 that I wear regularly have some half worn ones tucked away and at least 2 pair Ive never worn. >>207602lmao ive never heard of or seen anyone drinking wine at the sesh just drink a tall can like a normal person
>>207607I love my solid e’S Accel OG’s. I tend to street skate them or if I’m trying difficult stuff. I skate cheap dc’s for practice but so far I think e’S and Etnies put out the best shoes like the Fader or Accel OG.
>>207548I liked the days of skaters having intro sequences and titles for their parts, personally. Or at least transitions with their name edited in.
>>207607So far I've tried Lakai, N balance and Etnies in various models, but the longest lasting and most comfortable were the Marana Michelin (black and white). I wear them skating and just for everyday use as well. Fucking mental how long they have lasted. They are on sale right now, I might have to grab another pair just in case.
>>207620es is the only soletech shoe Ive never skated since they dont make vulc shoes. Would love to have/skate a pair but I hate cupsoles. I imagine es will be the first soletech company to go under. >>207636I havent had a pair of lakais in like 10 years. i have two pair of the joslin vulc with the michelin bottoms and theyre the same, long lasting and comfy as hell. I think I have a beater pair tucked away somewhere too. anyone here ever skate circas? had one pair back in the day absolute trash shoes. within a month half the sole detached from one of the shoes and the stiching was coming apart on both and it was winter so I hardly even skated them. some companies deserve to go outta business.
I’m very tall and weigh 220 pounds. I have decent trucks but don’t remember what bushing came with them. Board won’t stay flat so I need new bushings. I gained weight since last time I rode. So should I get 96a or 100 grade bushings ?
>>207650dohdoh 101a bushings are pretty hefty.try em out on its loosest setting
>>207652Thanks. I believe I have a mini logo blank 8.5” deck. I’m really tall and see people saying a 15” wheelbase is nice. Where do I get a good blank with that wheelbase ?
>>207655>Where do I get a good blank with that wheelbaselmao that infographic is fucking retarded dawg, whoever posted it probably doesnt even skate. 15 inch wheelbases are a rarity, they exist but I wouldn't get used to skating them. these are the two best results I found. https://www.skatewarehouse.com/searchresults.html?filter_cat=DK&filter_type=Decks#filter_cat=DK&filter_type=Decks&wheelbase_str%5B%5D=15%22%20%26%20Up&opt_page=1&opt_sort=priceAcc&opt_perpage=20https://selectskateshop.com/collections/all-decks-1/wheelbase_15
>839fucking trannyfox pos fucking up the dimensions can't even do basic shit right fucking posfuck it
>>207659the bearded dude in the lab coat in that radio program said he made it
>>207662ya thats why your options are mostly only powell or santa cruz
>>207662NTA but I don't think you should be skating a 15" wheelbase unless you only skate transition or vert. You are gonna have a hard time flipping your board at that wheelbase. Take a look at these standard shapes for BBS/Generator which is what most skate shops use for shop boards. I'm on my second stack of G838 and I'm 6'2 170lbs. I think my next stack I want to try the G85S because its and 8.5 with a shorter wheelbase. I think it would help with my treflips.
>>207647The biggest thing about e’S is that they only have sti energy foam insoles, not gel like the old days with pro shoes. They recently rereleased the Muska for a short while, they basically did go out of business and I think the 9 Club and Kelly Hart revived them. All in all they make solid shoes, they just need to be a bit lower priced and once they gain more market share then innovate with insole and skate tech. Not sure about vulcs, I never skate them or thin shoes.
Why do people do kickflips? Is it just becsuse they think it looks cool or does it have a practical purpose? Like does it let the skateboard stay in the air farther/longer/higher to clear bigger gaps/jumps or help it go in a straight line or something? Or is it just a fancy trick nothing more?
>>207676>Like does it let the skateboard stay in the air farther/longer/higher to clear bigger gaps/jumps or help it go in a straight line or somethingTo clarify: I mean doing a kickflip instead of just straight air or ollie or whatever its called
>>207676>>207677yeah it's just a trick you do cause you can do it and it looks cool
>>207670>I think the 9 Club and Kelly Hart revived them.nigga what kelly hart just works there, you think those fools have enough money to start a shoe company?
>>207683I think Kelly was TM and pushed to revive the OG era of es. For a minute there es were the creme de la creme, second to none.
>>207665I’m 6’7
>>207677>>207676nigga leave
>>2076876'3 I use a 14.625 at the moment. Not sure how much longer I could do, maybe 14.75.
this thread was so good too, >>207477this slaps, good on nike for supporting so many skaters i like, i think the lack of names was cool, but it does require a bit of searching to find who you're looking for - >>207483how'd you learn about the filmer/producer, is it immediately recognizable in style and I'm kookier than >>207676
>>207693>how'd you learn about the filmer/producer,its in the fucking description retard
>>207679okay ty>>207688stfu idiot
>>207695>stfu idiotwho tf are you calling an idiot kook? fuck outta here
wb for 38" inseam?
>>207700I'm 34-35" >>207689I think you want 14.5-14.75". Your truck brand will effect wheel base and things like fingers of flat make a board feel longer/bigger too. I'd be more concerned with width/length. All a longer wheel base did for me is make landing bolts not cause my knees to hurt/bend inwards as much, smaller makes tricks easier. I assume at some point in your skate journey you'll want to at least try 14.25" etc. it seems like a sweet spot.Check out Leon Paxton on YouTube. He is a taller guy who rides lots of different big boards, might inspire you.All that said just go skate, board autism doesn't improve your skills.
how are you guys so fucking autistic ive been skating my whole life Ive never once had a conversation about fucking inseams and wheel bases, i know rippers who just fucking skate whatever shit they get on sale, dudes who can grip anyones board and put down a line, played skate against a dude with mismatched trucks and wheels wearing timbs who was busting out nollie flips and hard flips, dude who just got outta jail after being locked up for months borrowed some kids board and in 3 tries he heel flipped this huge bank in some beater sneaks. just go fucking skate god damn.
>>207702not even nyjah can kickflip on tomy hawks board bro, size does matter
>>207705I thought you were bullshitting lol (he did eventually)https://youtu.be/hDBnZuBjAUQ
>>207676>does it have a practical purpose?ya its 4 reflecting projectiles back at your opponent. shuvits and 360flips are gud 4 wrapping around a security guards head or legs while u hippy jump over them to avoid hitting them and avoiding lawsuitsthe possibilities for warfare are endless anon u just need imagination
>>207708
>>207709>>207708why couldnt they just make initial d but skateboarding :/
Just went back to skating after like 6 years, my board has>4 Shitty abec 7 bearings I stole from my ex's inlines, and 4 of the driest red bones you'll ever encounter in your life >at least 10 year old trucks>dry bushings that keep throwing me to the left making me have to shift my entire body weight to the right side of the board>The Heaviest Skateboard Deck Known to Man. It's not even mapleIt's extremely unreliable and I feel confident on top of it about 35% of the time I'm riding it. I'm absolutely loving it and it's the highest point of my day
>>207712Also I'm debating on whether buying new bushings soon or just waiting a bit and getting new trucks, any tips? Next would be a lighter deck and after that better bearings
>>207713did you try turning the bushings a little until they support your weight evenly
>>207715You don't understand anon: I'm retarded Haven't thought of that, will try tomorrow. I'll change the bushings after the 20th anyway though, I like softer ones
>>207561Nike's SB division is like a double edged sword because on one hand, its nice to see a handful of skilled skaters under their payroll but at the same time, you can't let go of this feeling that it doesn't feel "real" because its a big corporation, even though the team was spearheaded by some legends to run the show when they first launched it to have skaters think they are "legit". Also, the whole SB dunk hype among hypebeasts. I remember snatching like 6 pairs at a nike outlet for like $20 bucks each because nobody gave a shit about those back then. Now its fucking impossible to find them because everyone wants to make a profit off those (even skate shop employees who steal some of their inventories to flip them on the market for a quick buck.) It sucks because its one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever skated in, plus they are quite durable so there's that.>>207548I like having name titles, even if they are super quick (say 3 - 5 seconds long) because I can't keep up with all these niggas, at least not like I used to back then. In fact, they could make use of YT's timestamps if their editors are too lazy/want to shave 5 seconds off their rendering queue. >>207705>>207702I think its all superstition. Just like how MLB retards believe that the legendary "secret mud pit" from a family in bumfuck NJ is the solution for a perfect pitch grip. Look at the Gonz, there are clips of him doing a handful of tricks with some absolute abominations with ease.
>>207705of course board size matters to some extent dipshit im talking bout wheel base and other retarded shit here. who gives a fuck what that dickhead rapist can or cant do anyway. >>207725>the whole SB dunk hype among hypebeastsdawg that shit is so fucking dumb, it was always the dumbest looking mother fuckers would come into the shop to sell their dunks or asking about em or buying em. there was one sneakerhead dude that worked in the shop that was actually kind of cool and he taught me about fake shoes and shit and I was like flabbergasted at the concept, but dude has a god damn black light pen and could run it over a shoe in a minute he'd be like "nah these are fake because of X, Y, and Z." He also had a method of changing a dunks colorway that looked professionally done which was also neat. >even skate shop employees who steal some of their inventories to flip them on the market for a quick bucksomeone runs a meme IG page of a shop that was in my hometown 15+ years ago and posted about backdooring travis scott dunks and it blew up and fucking went viral with thousands of people believing the post and sharing it. was insanely fucking stupid but hilarious as hell. shoe culture is retardeddont gotta worry about shoe raffles or bootleg shoes if your a soletard ill tell ya what.
>>207730I just use classic vans until they fall apart I can never find shoes in size 14 in a store.
>>207731i was a vans guy for life since getting my first pair for christmas when i was 6 years old. i would wear my old ratty pair to the store, buy a new pair of the same shoe wear em out the door and throw out the old ones on my way out. then ~10 years ago they came out with the ultra cush bull shit and plastic in the toe to make em more durable or whatever and suddenly the same shoe, same size I had been wearing forever no longer fit the same and gave me blisters. I was so pissed I went to return them I went on a mini boomer rant at 19yo to the 16yo girl working register talking about how the changes are bull shit or whatever, I apologized after 30 seconds of ranting and felt like a dick of course.
>>207738Shoe stores don’t even sell vans classics and had to order them it’s retarded
>>207739probably get better deals online tho. I was fortunate enough to live by a vans store.
>>207738>i miss when vans used to be shoes>back in my day, vans were just shoes, and they fit like a glove>now they have all these belgian whistles nobody asked for and they don't feel like shoes anymore, I tell ya hwhat>they used to be unique and cool for cool kids but they're a diamond dozen now, every tom, dick n harry got a pair>and they all have these ultra pillows or mega cushions or whatever fandangled thing in them and they all have bluetooth and what have you
>>207743this is literally how I felt lmao, 19 going on 68.
>>207687If you want to be able to flip your board you shouldn't be skating 15" wheelbase. If you are complete beginner you can try it. Maybe the extra stability will help you learn how to ride. You'll likely be riding a 9" board though. This whole height/weight discussion really doesn't matter. Its all preference. In the 90s everyone skated 7'5, short or tall, Fat or slim
>>207751I’m pretty sure my deck is 8.5” and that seems to be good enough to flip it but I was curious if my big feet need a longer board.
>>207676Can you kickflip? I bet you'd do them if you could
>>207753>I was curious if my big feet need a longer board.no nigga wtf stop listening to the retards itt who have only been skating a month longer than you>>207754dude obviously doesnt even skate
>>207755What about people saying your stance should be as wide as your shoulders?
>>207756what people nigga? where are you getting this shit from? is there a skateboarding forum specifically for autists who dont skate?
>>207759I trust you. A skate shop owner helped me build a board a long time ago and never used a special size deck.
>>207676When you do a straight ollie you get air resistance on the bottom of the board when you pop it up, so a kickflip lets the air go through.
>walk into vintage store>ask what the price they want for these>”$500 each”>fs360 and fakie out the door
>>207754No, I dont have a skateboard, I am just curious. When I was a kid I tried a skateboard for like a few minutes, that is the extent of my experience>>207800This is clearly unironically true but is it significant enough to have a non negligible effect on how high or far you can go in the air?
>>207808>fs360 and fakie out the dooryou would still face the same way
>>207812>This is clearly unironically trueNIGGA LEAVE
>>207813EVERYONE ITS A NEWFAGGOT POINT AND LAUGH
>>207812>This is clearly unironically trueOH NO NO NO NO
>>207813AHAHAHA YOU STUPID FAGGOT. ARE YOU 12
>>207813Sorry, he meant to say 720 and walk away.
>>207808I would goofy switch, regular mongo feeble push out the door (and do a sick switch fakie goofy double ollie flip for good measure)
>thread starting out strong >decent discussion but slow>tourist strolls into thread asking stupid shit>miserable retard takes the bait >>207814>>207815>>207816>>207819can you relax and stop shitting up the thread, thanks.
>>207840
>>207840SHUT UP FAGGOT
I want to frontside air on a single ramp at my park. To perform this trick you Ollie off the top before the drop in bar, or do you let the board hit the bar ?
>>207847wtf is a drop in bar?
>>207849Whatever the bar is called onto of the ramp when it transitions to being flat
>>207850you're doing a really bad job at describing what you are talking about. are you talking about the coping???
>>207849>>207851using bare minimum brain power and your knowledge about skating, we can interpret anons question thusly:>When doing a frontside air on a quarter pipe/miniramp/transition mini, do you ollie before you hit the coping, or do you bounce off the coping to get air?>>207847Ollie at the top before you hit the coping. Start low in the ramp, then build up to to it.
>>207852>using bare minimum brain power and your knowledge about skating, we can interpret anons question thusly:im not here to use my brain Im here to call people retards
how does get hard
>>207852Thanks for explaining, I would have thought they were a troll to tell me it’s coping.
>>207401Good OP.Ok, question time bros and broettes. Insoles: what are they good for? Will they protect my lower back, which has a faulty disc? How thick should they be?
>>207731>shoes in size 14Are you Shrek?
>>207863>broettesShut the fuck up kook.
>>207861>would have thought they were a troll to tell me it’s coping.you are coping, remember to ollie before you hit the seething>>207860tuck yr knees>>207865fucking lol I was gonna answer his question but now im not, good job.
>>207863Some bonus material for giving me a comprehensive answer to insole hardware.Best of Shakespeare's insults.>your virginity breeds mites, much like a cheese>you rabble of vile confederates>herd of boils and plagues>frosty people>needy, hollow-eyed, sharp-looking wretch>whoreson peasant>breeder of dire events>you stony image, cold and dumb>your eye-glass is thicker than a cuckold's horn>Give me your hand.

>>207870look at this taffeta punk. You whoreson, you mistress minion.
>>207871>mistress minionthat sounds sick hell ya
>>207868This nigga has a funko pop collection for sure.
>>207863>Insoles: what are they good for?nothingwear sandals or barefoot shoes
>>207879>barefoot shoesjust go completely barefoot, like the kooky kid that used to skate around my hometown until he cut his foot real bad on some broken glass like an idiot
>>207864I said I was very tall
Did I mess up buying hard "street" wheels?How am I supposed to bounce off of these?
>>207816it is though what is the problem?
>>207886hard wheels that lack bounce can be counter acted with these
>>207840I am >>207812and I am legitimately curious if kickflip helps air longer/farther/higher so please give a serious answer. The rotation might help the board's trajectory,.does it?
Whenever someone wants to comment on insole, I am listening.
>>207891>>207893NIGGAS LEEEAAAVEEEEE
>>207893A removable shoe insert, otherwise known as a foot orthosis, insole or inner sole, accomplishes many purposes, including daily wear comfort, height enhancement, plantar fasciitis treatment, arch support, foot and joint pain relief from arthritis, overuse, injuries, leg length discrepancy, and other causes such as orthopedic correction and athletic performance.Medical use of foot orthoses has been criticized as lacking evidence of benefit, and practice is very inconsistent: reputed podiatrists prescribe completely different orthoses for a single patient.[1][2][3] Further, effect of a given design of orthosis varies significantly by patient,[4] and standard practice to personalize prescription is not available.[5] However, evidence is mixed: patients often report at least short-term improvements in comfort, and other studies have found effectiveness.[6]
>>207898So does nobody use them? There are skaters who started insole companies.
>>207863they help with impact. i like my foot print insoles and recommend them.
>>207907if you dont understand what insoles are/do you are too young to be posting itt
>>207911Would you say they are protective of the knees or of the back, or both?
>>207928fr how old are you
>>207928they protect your feet
i jack off to ai chatbots all the time &my backside flips are getting betterstill can't half-cab flip oddly enough
This thread has turned into a skateboarding fever dream>kickfliping for aerodynamics>insoles for your lower back>hard wheels that lack bounce
>>208000>drop in bar
>>208002>I would have thought they were a troll to tell me it’s coping
>>207863Footprint and Remind are 100% marketing and not needed, unless the insoles that come in your shoes are trash (in which case you should probably look for a better shoe brand).Vans, Converse, Fallen, Etnies, Emerica, Last Resort, etc etc all have insoles that are fine and not worth swapping out.If you make the mistake of buying Footprints you'll know as soon as the packaging comes in that you fucked up. It's such blatant mass produced low quality crap it isn't even funny.
>>207863>>208020 (Me)This is the shit ass packaging they come in. It's rare I fall for placebo hype, but that's what it is.Even if you have a low/high arch, insoles aren't necessarily the answer. And Footprint/Remind certainly won't help your feet any more than normal (good) skate shoes.Save your money.
>>208020>>208023arent FPs like 35 dollars too? total marketing scam. Ill swap out the insoles in a pair of etnies or emericas for some 5 - 15 dollar dr scholls or store brand equivalent and makes a world of a difference personally. allows me to wear my skate shoes as work sneakers too without any discomfort standing/walking in them all day. but since I have like 5 pairs of shoes and switch it up everyday my everyday leg/feet fatigue has been improved as opposed to wearing the same 1 or 2 pairs all week. side story: one of the dudes who worked in the skate shop was a big boy and he would actually STACK his insoles, like put dr scholls on top of the regular insoles instead of removing them and he would talk about needing another insole on top of that and when I told him your only supposed to have one and take out the stock one he was like "nahhh that sounds crazy." whatever tho dude had a mean kickflip and a handful of switch tricks, but he switched to bmx because he kept snapping a the tail of a board at least once a week, homie needed to learn to land bolts.
>>208046when last resort had dogshit insoles i bought some fp insoles and they were alright and a definite improvement over the stock ones. no reason to use them now since LR got their shit together though.
>>208048not tryna argue but im 100% sure that some 10 dollar insoles from wal mart woulda worked just as good as the FPs
>>208020>Vans, Converse, Fallen, Etnies, Emerica, Last Resort, etc etc all have insoles that are fine and not worth swapping out.What about Globe?I feel that most shoes have a thin and hard sole.>>208023>>208020Thanks for replying anon.>>208046Thank you too.I've had lower back pain for the past year and my mind thinks I need cushioning for my feet to absorb impact.
>>208051>I've had lower back pain for the past yearlearn to lift heavy shit with your legs not your back
>>208053Too late.
>>208054if your too young to know what insoles are but have lower back pain for a year you're fucked and need to see a doctor lil bro. like seriously that shit aint normal. maybe look into breast reduction surgery
>>208054are you fat? Losing weight will help a ton
>>208077dude harsh, no need to be a dick jeeze
>>208080People are so sensitive these days that I can't tell if you're joking or not.
Tell me the worst slam/injury you took while trying to learn a trick.
>>208088dude you called him fat and just said lose weight, losing weight isnt easy not everyone can do it just willy nilly especially if they have a slow metabolism and are diabetic and have a thyroid problem. at least im suggesting realistic options like breast reduction surgery
>>208092this is an ancient post from your doomer folder broken knee>>208097lol
>>208092broken wrist, they gave me percocets (hell ya)then they said i could get surgery and theyd give me more percocets so of course i got the surgery (and more percocets hell ya)
>>208092back tail - slip out, body slam ledgeback blunt - over shoot, wheels roll on curb, face meet ground
>>208104>back blunt - over shoot, wheels roll on curb, face meet groundoof
>>208092grade 3 sprain bailing out from a tail stall on a 4 ft mini
>>208115lol that would happen to me so much when i first learned blunts.. so many hard slams like that
>>208080Would you rather I say "heavy set" or "husky"? Often times when I see people complain about their knees and back a lot they could usually do with losing 10 or 15 pounds.

>>208125see >>208097
>>208129Shut the fuck up you disgusting fat slobby retarded fucking faggot. Go lose weight and stop with your pathetic excuses.
>>208131is everything alright at home?
>>208131hahaha nigga whaaaaaa you got the brain of a goldfish my guy
>>208132>>208133I am incredibly hungover and maybe missed the context. I also hate fatties.
>>208048>>208050So where do you buy them? Shoe stores? And would you say that one needs a bigger number pair than usual, if the intention is to use insoles?
>>208139Just buy a skate shoe jeez. Unless youre going down stairs or a pussy about landing primo its no big deal. I cant tell much of a difference in cupsole or vulcanized and I buy shoes for less than $50 a pair, rebuild with shoe goo. I will say I buy half a size smaller skate shoe than what Id wear comfortably.
>>208139i agree with the other anon that said any walmart dr scholls insoles will work if you really want to go that route but you will also probably be fine with the stock ones like >>208141 said, when last resort was a new company their insoles sucked which is the only reason i bought a pair from footprints and i got them directly from their website. i think you are overthinking things, if you are having problems with your back insoles can only do so much for you.
>>208139>And would you say that one needs a bigger number pair than usual, if the intention is to use insoles?sorry didn't answer this in my last post, usually with insoles you buy a generic size and use scissors to trim it to fit your shoe, you do not need to buy a bigger shoe. buy your correct shoe size and cut the insole accordingly.
>>208141>>208144>>208146you guys are saints for legitimately answering this fucking retard
>>207676>>207676>>207676someone give non troll answer please
>>208092>no helmetdeserved
>>208092Is that nigga dead?
>>207676There is no reason, it's just for fun like anything else you do in life
>>208210you got your answer already now leave kook ass faggot
Anyone caveman drop in on quarter ramps?
>>208147the way i look at it is the faster you answer their questions the faster they will go away, instead of arguing with them and shitting up the thread more so i don't mind >>208210there is no aerodynamic benefit in doing a kickflip over and ollie. a kickflip is harder and requires more effort in every scenario, theres not a single instance where any skateboarding trick would be easier to do with a kickflip than an ollie.
>>208244sure when i was like 14, those were pretty fun
>>208248So when you kickflip do you have to adjust for the change in aerodynamics?
>>208248>there is no aerodynamic benefit in doing a kickflip over and ollieplease stop spreading misinformation, your harming the credibility of these threads.
>>208256yes every trick is different, you have to adjust your shoulders and feets
>>208261>>208256also remember to adjust your dick and balls if theyre in the wrong position it could mess up your balance. like when doing 180s you wanna make sure your dick is more on the leg of the way your turning. if your regular and your doing a frontside 180 you want your dick and balls to be weighted more towards your left or forward leg, if they arent and are instead on your right/back leg you will more than likely end up landing on two wheels/your tail as opposed to landing bolts

>>208274
>>208092worst: concussed myself from a basic shuvit thinking i was good enough to avoid wrists snapping and tucking my chin in enough to not bounce my melon. ill always choose breaking wrists over that again. most painful: road rash from hill bombing at night. i hit a muddy sand patch i thought was flat asphalt thinking i was gonna get a bingbing wahoO kart speed boost too fast and flew 30 feet.
>>208141>will say I buy half a size smaller skate shoe than what Id wear comfortably.Yeah me too, but I have never used insoles and it seems they make the shoe smaller.
>>208248The questions I had about insoles are legitimate, I've never had them and most shoes' soles feel thin and stiff and I am thinking that maybe augmented cushioning could protect my slipped disc.
>>208276>road rash from hill bombing at nightYup, had one of them too. Came back home like a motorcycle crash victim. Wasn't a particularly steep incline either.
>road rash hill bomb injuriesdefinitely one of my worst injuries in HS, bombed a huge steep hill in the woods/backroads, no plan just hell ride fuck yeah, got speed wobbles and ate complete shit half way down luckily tucked and rolled/slid into a ditch. back scraped the fuck up like I got whipped. that monday in school dickhead kid gives me a huge 5 star. I yelp out in pain like a dog being beat and everyones like wtf is wrong with you, teacher saying he'll give me detention, lift my shirt up revealing my fucked up back and everyone is like "AHHHHH" dickhead who gave me the five star apologizes profusely with everyone calling him a asshole, teacher is telling me to go to the nurse (nah), after that most of the kids that gave me shit/bullied me realized I was bout my shit and let me be so at least something positive came outta it.
>>208092Fractured my wrist a few times. the worst one was manualing to a 4-5 foot drop and lost my balance right at the end and landed on my wrist, double fracturing it and bashing my head against the concrete. Honestly wasn't too bad, prior to that I collided with another skater and his elbow bashed into my back which hurt way worse.
>>208296What's a 5 star? Like a slap on the back?
>>208313yeah exactly open palm hard smack on the back/spine, might be american term or east coast term idk.
fractured scaphoid gang stand up!
>>208270That’s ok I always tuck
>>208356tucking is only a valid technique if all your doing is ollie-ing/kickflipping/heelflipping and are not turning your body at all. its ok tho I mean so many of the best rail, stair and gap skaters tuck, its in the Zero contract that you have to tuck at all times because they dont provide dick and balls insurance for their riders, thats why Marissa Tomei got so popular as a skater because she was the only one on Zero that didnt have to tuck at all.
>>208378Are you on speeeeeed?
just got a new board the other day to get back into skating. got it custom so it rips amazingly.
>>208382What wheels did you get
>>208380speed, weed, alcohol, heroin, cocaine, NES, MDMA, LSD, research chemicals, Spice/K2, PSP, bath salts, Nitrous, Triple Cs, Dramamine, Benadryl, Kratom, B12, Suboxone, Robitussin, Lean, Oxycontin, Xanax bars, Percocets and Lortab, Valiums, Morphine patches, Ecstacy and it's all up for grab what you want, what you need, I got it mane.Hell Ride Fuck Yeah
>>208382You got a custom board?
>>208270>>208356>>208378Tucking is entry level, reddit tier knowledge. Real ones track their digestion and choose to skate when their waste is sitting within a desirable section of the large intestine, granting them additional balance for the session. If you don't know which side your shit is on, you don't skate.
>>208092slipped down transition on my but and hit my elbow pretty hard, luckily not my head but it was tender for a few months>>208141>I buy half a size smaller skate shoe than what Id wear comfortably.What the fuck is this normal?
>>208409>What the fuck is this normal?im that anon youre responding to and IDK, but that is what I do. I cant have any slack in my skate shoes and they stretch a bit when they break in, but I like wearing 10.5 wide shoes, skate shoes dont have to be wide, just size 10.
>>208411Same here>>208409I once slipped at a quarter, landed right on the tailbone and right then and there I understood why Greyson Fletcher shit his pants when he landed on his ass. It didn't happen to me, but he was the first thing that I thought immediately after the landing.
>>208418tailbone is brutal has that electric shock kinda pain, asscheek while comedic when it bruises and not as painful is a consistent dull inconvenience in everything
I got the 100 doh doh bushings and one of my trucks looks tilted. I still have trouble balancing and everytime I ollie the board turns and doesn’t land straight. I thought I knew how to Ollie but I can’t keep the board straight. I’m very tall with size 14 feet and I’m not sure which part of my foot is supposed to hang off the board. I’m gonna try skating again this week.
>>208385grimple stix 55mm
>>208389i mean it wasnt a complete
>>208436Oh yeah. Oh jeez.
>>208424Pop from the centre of the tail, check your posture before and during, paying attention to what you do with your shoulders. Usually it's one of these things for unwanted turn.
Where does /esg/ stand on cruisers? Fun or straight kookery?
>>208406>What the fuck is this normal?I will actually back anon up on this and say yes, many people do this, lots of people desire a tighter fitting shoe when skating and its gonna stretch out anyway. >>208424>everytime I ollie the board turns and doesn’t land straight.your shoulders arent square/your turning them. keep your shoulders straight and steady. One thing that helped me is I always imagine im grabbing something with my front hand thats right in front of my nose... if that makes sense. >>208468>buying sale shit/using old parts to build a cruisercool>buying a landyachts or cruiser completekookery
>>208434Are these like the cubic nano? They are expensive. Also what are your thoughts on using rubber risers for the hardware. And I’m using a mini logo deck that doesn’t have a big concave like big name decks. Do I need a new deck?
>>208473^this nigga needs to shut the fuck up and go skate, on jah nigga annoying asf
>>208474I have no balance after gaining weight dude. I don’t know why.
>>208475cuz your a fat retard bro, damn.

>>208505You didn't say neat tricks...
Seriously how is the Chris Cole shit still going for almost 80 pages with him getting kicked off all his sponsors and JT/Zero getting dragged but the verified video proof rapist coke head has less than 15 pages, has all his big sponsors, and gets to go to the olympics. Do we really gotta wait another 20 years for this dickhead to get cancelled or whatever? FFS chase webb got kicked off the worst/shittiest skateboard company in the entire world that nobody even gives a fuck about but the ass tattoo dickhead is still making racks off of nike and monster?
>>208515Nyjah has more money than everyone on zero combined.
>>208517Thats actually debatable last time I looked it up Jamie Thomas is one of the top 10 richest skaters.
>>208517>>208518Two other lists also have JT at 50 million and Nyjah at 12 million.
>>208515if the video was ever released it would be soooo over for nyjah but since chase webb or whoever got rid of it the situation will always remain an open secret
>>208468/esg/'s definition of a cruiser is a skateboard for tricks but with slightly softer slightly larger wheels with maybe risers, not something optimized for cruising
>>208525the video was out there for a bit, people saw it. >>208526this is retarded
>>208528It makes sense to me. You can still ollie and do stuff, just you can go over really shitty pavement and carry some speed. Just say long board to get more specific. Ive been meaning to make my 8.38 a cruiser board since its too large for me to really want to skate much, but it still has hard 54mm wheels and the vibrations hurt my feet when I go cruising.
>>208529>/esg/'s definition of a cruiser is a skateboard for tricks but with slightly softer slightly larger wheels with maybe risersthis is literally the definition of a cruiser board. the guy who posted this is a retard
>>208530yea that's pretty much a cruiser board. also the board doesn't need to be designed for tricks. it could be smaller than a normal skateboard... like a 7.25 or something so it's easier to carry around. it's basically the OPPOSITE of a longboard ;)
>>208532no, it must be designed for tricks
>>208532>it could be smaller than a normal skateboard... like a 7.25 orno retard thats fucking dumb, thats a penny board
>>208538sorry but you are the retard here. penny boards are made of plastic. and i know pro filmers (film for big indie brands like quasi, bronze, etc). in NY who use small ass cruiser boards for filming most of the time>>208536it's already not designed for tricks by having soft wheels dumbass
>>208539soft wheels are just fine for tricks, just not slides
>>208539>penny boards are made of plasticno shit retard it was hyperbole. I also know filmers and aint none of them riding anything smaller than a fucking 8, certainly not going out of their way to get a fucking kid size board.
>>208542zig zinger is a popular filmer board at 7.75
>>208543>zig zinger is a popular filmer boardhahahahahahahahahaha
>>208544lol keep laughing retard. they have a short wheelbase too which allows for better turning
>>208545>lol keep laughing retard.will do, not gonna be one of the dickheads in these threads that doubts others life experiences and shit but in my 24 years of skating Ive never even seen an actual skater on a zip zinger and every filmer Ive met is basically just on a crusty 8.5 with soft wheels. new york niggas prolly got more money than philly niggas tho.
>>208468pretty sure soft wheels mess up every grind/slide trick except boardslide variations, so I'd only get a normal board with super soft wheels if I loved flatground and manuals and lived in a crusty area or skated dirtbike spots.In the city it just looks like someone wants to cruise to work while looking like they can ollie, I can imagine someone cool making it work though.Most dedicated cruisers are fine, even premade. You can work with the soft wheels to get back to the roots of skating and just try something new.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Evy4YXV9_TMPicrel is the exception. There is no redeeming these.
>>208248>there is no aerodynamic benefit in doing a kickflip over and ollie. a kickflip is harder and requires more effort in every scenario, theres not a single instance where any skateboarding trick would be easier to do with a kickflip than an ollieOkay thanks>>208257Then can you please explain the benefit?

>>208092credit card so hard i couldn't get an erection for a month and a halfnot like i was using it or anything though
>>208633ouchhhh how did that happen
I think I over tightened the bushing because my truck won’t stay straight
>>208633I'M A WILD CHILDCOME AND LOVE MEI WANT YOUUUUUUUUMY HEART'S IN EXILE I NEED YOU TO TOUCH ME
>>208643Post a pic so we can laugh
>>208655I’ll probably buy new bushings
>>208657Maybe your pivot cup is broken or shitty. Post pic you giant faggot
>>208655>>208663>people still not realizing this is a trollI bet you faggots film on heelies
>>208092I never had it checked by a doctor so can't confirm (which is ironic because I worked at a hospital at the time), but I'm pretty sure I tore a ligament in my ankle when I was learning 5050s on flat bars.I was coming off the end of the rail and my front foot drifted off the board but my back foot stayed on, I rolled my front foot and then immediately ran over it with all my weight because I still had weight and momentum on the board.My ankle was completely black/blue within a couple hours, had a bad limp for a couple weeks and it took a few years before I was able to throw certain tricks again - 360 flips in particular caused me pain for awhile afterwards, I think because of how the scoop/flick loads up the ankle.
>>208664I’m not I might have over tightened the doh doh bushings
>>208667this is hard to image, but sounds like a whole new meaning to rolling your ankle. Was it like pic related?
>>208690>>208690Yeah that's pretty much it lol. 10/10 artistry.
>>208690lmao
>>208690hahahahaha, gonna put this one in the group chat
>>208690loool
>>208642After I cleared the coping my board slipped out and my leg folded under my leg. Just imagine like a super rolled ankle.Mom and her son watched it happen. I’ll never forget how spooked they looked lol
>>208575i have not tried this but you can reprofile your wheels with a lathe or drill with a chuck that can hold a kingpin, a mandrel made with a kingpin, 2 cone bushings, and washers, and something abrasive like a file, sandpaper (like from griptape), or even concreteremember to use eye protection and keep clear from loose-fitting garments and hairhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMXEDI_WvNU&t=464s(7:44)
>>208727used to work in a machine shop in highschool once watched a dude deglove a finger cause the sandpaper slipped that he was using to smooth over a part and the part that grabbed the sandpaper grabbed his finger and it just popped off in a blink of an eye then he was holding his hand.Just -yoinked- all the skin right off.>>208575I love to slide tablet f4s just get some musclebuy some new wheels, fucking with the lathe is not it
>>208734yowhow was he holding the sandpaper? did it happen because the sheet was long enough to fully wrap around the part that grabbed it?
>>207401im over going to the skatepark, there is always someone annoying that i don't like there. should i build a box or buy one from keen ramps? i wish i could find those blue mojo rails benches for sale like pic rel...i've built boxes in the past and it was always such a pain in the ass going to home depot and getting stuff cut since i have no wood cutting tools....but keen ramps seem like a scam....what do..
>>208741building a box is pretty easy and cheap. Rail? Little harder to make yourself.
>>208741you ballin nigga?https://transformerrails.com/shop/6ft-transformer-rail/
>>208746YOOOOO thank you!!! i had a feeling there must be something similar out there.
>>208741I bought the 6ft round flat bar from Keen Ramps last winter, it's pretty good and I have no complaints.I wish I had more room to set up a little DIY park at home. Or even better somewhere air conditioned when it's fucking 110 outside.
>>208751I took want to find a spot to set up. I try Google maps but it's not reliable and too many spots are already getting built on etc.
>>208751im lucky im near a tennis court that is usually in the shade in the afternoon, but also theres a handball court which gets 0 use. I also have a half finished park where most of it is flat, but its rough ground and longer drive.
I've sprained my ankle, but I don't remember how. This is the second time I've done this skating. I make it worse because it's not apparent I've fucked it up until I skate on it for another session and realise it's suddenly throbbing and has doubled in size. Just as the weather is picking up as well, fuck this gay earth.

Ordered the gripple stix 54mm spitfire wheels, do I need a riser for them? And what bearings should I use if I’m a beginner? I want to skate transition.
>>2088301 inch riser, bones swiss bushings
>>208830I personally never use risers for 54mm wheels, though I do keep my trucks a lil tight. Just get some bones reds, doesn't really matter if you're just starting
>>208830Assuming you're not riding low trucks, no riser. Bones are over rated but Reds are still fine. Bronson G2 or G3 would also be good. Literally any bearing at your local skate shop or that you find on an online skate supply will be fine.The bearing market is 75% hot air and marketing gimmicks.
>>208837Thanks for telling me that. I’m pretty sure I have $10 bearings in my mini logos and they seem fine but I never touched a decent build.
>>208838Speed differences between any $15 bearing and a $45 bearing, or even $70 bearing will normally be fairly negligible once they're broken in. From there maintenance will mostly be the determining factor for what keeps them rolling well. It's silly when people dump $60 on some "high end" bearing but then never clean them.And for the love of God don't pop the shields off on them. No, the balls are not going to crunch up and "spit out" debris, it's just going to massively accelerate how the bearing degrades and prevents you from properly oiling them.
>>208839>And for the love of God don't pop the shields off on themI always pop the shields and have never had a problem. I like the sound it makes skshhhh skshhhh. I oil them with gun oil and have had the same set for several years

Got into skating this summer and It's become some of the purest fun i've ever had, wish I got into this sooner. Great exercise, always something new to work on (gives me something to put my mind too cos i'm adhd as fuck) and I've met chill as fuck dudes who I instantly have a bond with cos we're all just doing something we love and it's pretty niche in the city i'm in which just makes that network tighter. Going out at night and just riding around, feeling the wind on my face or going to spots that are chill and spending hours messing around has all felt better than therapy could ever. I can eat shit doing the same trick over and over and still enjoy it, maybe this is what it feels like to finally find something that just clicks with you.
>>208424chiming in for me it was actually my foot kicking forward (towards it's toes) and down while popping, causing the nose to turn the other way (I'm regular so with travel direction as forward I was kicking to the right, which pushed the nose to the left)my shoulders were square and I was popping on the center of the tailI fixed it by focusing on popping back/down (towards the tail)also lmao at all the square shoulder advice and then you see the way yung wavy and onodera squat down shoulders PERPENDICULAR TO the board
>>208894I do drag my front foot bc in my mind I need to straighten the board.
>>208868>the Nike Club
>>208875Hell yeah, skateboarding is the best.
>>208894The square shoulders advice is because it helps you line up your hips, which are the part that needs to be parallel to the board. Your hips will follow your shoulders which follow your head.
I'm customizing my board.
>>208875yeah i literally went from being a friendless shut-in incel freak to being in an awesome community and getting invited to hangout all the time in the span of a yearchanged my life drastically, and i started just because i thought it looked cool and wanted to do it, never imagined it would completely save my failed social life
>>208913So it’s possible to get a white non trashy wife from skating ?
>>208870I know cancel culture has been off the rails for several years now and it's just par for course for men to lose everything the second a woman voices anything against him, but has there been ANY evidence presented, or any charges formally pressed against him?
>>208918If you google his name, Google says he’s a domestic abuser. The heckin text messages are proof !!
>>208918>but has there been ANY evidence presented,if your still asking this you are retarded
>>208929I'm guessing the answer is no then.Fucking gay.
>>208934shes posted pictures of marks scratches and bruises, their son has confirmed everything, chris cole has confirmed shit himself. what exactly do you want?
>>208937I wish I was a woman so I can beat myself up and take a man’s money and have everyone feel sorry for me.
>>208940this is definitely something that a self respecting gentleman says. kys faggot
i'm going to round the lips of my wheels with the hand drill and concrete methodhope i don't twist my arm or something
>>208937>>208941If I try to search anything about it, literally the only results that come up are fucking Reddit and the 100 page Slap thread of them self righteously jerking themselves. There is no news source, there is no formal case.If you have one then post it.
>>208944Just her texts of her saying she was hurt no proof
>>208944>>208946sorry your an illiterate retarded faggot
>>208947Do you realize the irony of your post?
>>208949there is no irony in my post. you continuously ask for proof, get provided with proof, deny proof. who cares what you think nigga fr, you dont have the power to do anything, shit, you cant even complain without looking like a dipshit loser.
>>208949Apparently not
>>208950If I text someone and say I was beat up by a woman will people still believe I was beat up by her if I’m a man?
>>208954how retarded do you have to be to run with this argument, honestly.
like even my most hell ride apolitical offline retarded friends agree the chris cole situation is obviously fucked. so idk how retarded you gotta be to keep up the "its all fake" shit.
>>208961So you are telling me as a man, that texting someone saying I was assaulted by a woman and posting pictures of bruises on me is enough to ruin her career and reputation forever ?
>This hero worshipping loser is still trying to defend Chris ColeFuck off go to slap
>>208967case dismissed free that nigga cole
his ex wife has nothing to gain from speaking up all she has done is attract dick heads and drama from speaking up. plus didn't his son confirm he beat the breaks off her multiple times, fuck chris cole
>>208980beat the brakes*
>>208980Do you think he should be barred from competition? If he put out solo content would it be morally wrong for me to watch him skate?
>>208987no to both of those questions desu, i believe in separating the art from the artist. but i also think he's made enough money from skating and is too washed for competitions anyways? seems like he's retired to skatepark clips.
what other hobbies do you guys have outside of skating?>>208875>>208913it's hard to imagine what i would even do in my free time if i didn't skate....ride my bike? practice guitar...both get kind of boring. not many hobbies are as fun and endlessly entertaining like skating, maybe video games but i don't play video games... they don't do much for my reward system, at least not like skating....maybe i should read more meh
>>208998gossiping
>>208980>his son confirm he beat the breaks off her multiple timeYes he did. Which makes it even weirder that Cole fanboys are trying to argue, as if if they know better than his own son. Imagine your dad beating your mom half to death and then threatening to kill the kids and then some neckbeards claim you're making it up.>>208987Literally what competition? Cole is a washed up hag. He hasn't been relevant in years. You guys act like he has these big high paying sponsors. He rides for Fallen in 2024. That's like a 300 dollar check.
>>209057remove the broomstick brother
>>209058real shit pass the blizzy
>>209057nearly beat to death with those light bruises on the knees
>>208998pants peeing
>>208908Right it is, a bit of sandpaper, black spray and acrylic red paint ready to hang.New board and trucks, venture Del Campo Pro 5.8″ trucks and 8.5 medium board, cleaned the weels and bearings.Big difference between my old immovable trucks and those news, I can actually turn now.
im gay and my dick is small. if I film a video part can I put a cumtown bit in it instead of a song
>>209114Film a guy jerking off onto the board and then skate it with the cum splatting everywhere. If brown people can get away with cumming on people in public, this can be done.
>>209115does cum ruin your griptape?
>>209117I don’t know I assume it’s like water
>>209119what are you a femcel or gay shit?
>>209126>femcel or gay those are the only two types of people in this general in case you didn't knowdon't you remember that one guy that was dressing in a maid costume and going to the skatepark?
>>209127>don't you remember that one guy that was dressing in a maid costume and going to the skatepark?diy anon was cool and got broken off by a dog
>>207401alright, which one of you hacked the admin mod for r/newskaters? the redditors are pissed
>>209181Is there an extreme sport without blacks? I have monkey fatigue.
>>209181Lol I just came here to see if someone posted about it. I immediately thought of aggro anon
>>209181>HAIL
>>209192It's just a troll obsessed with us since /wwe/ moved to /asp/
I still miss /asp/...
>>209186sumo
damn lmao you guys had to fucking do it to poor old newskaters ffsworst part is interacting with legitimate skinheads
>>207401A while ago I had an idea for a used skate shoe exchange website where you could buy sides of shoes individually. Skaters who don't skate switch much only wear down one of their shoes. The other one could be practically brand new but since one has holes they have to buy a brand new pair. What if you could sell the untouched shoe instead of having to throw it away? Or buy just one used shoe instead of buying a new pair? Would any of you use this service? The only issue I see is spreading foot fungus or some shit.
>>209226i just give away my less used beaters and hope they are goofy also wash them bitches bro wtf dont just jam ur foot in my sweat...i mean do you but
>>209227i dont have any friends my size. I wish i had someone my size and skated regular>also wash them bitcheslol i just didnt think about that part
>>209226>What if you could sell the untouched shoe insteadBecause you've been wearing it for the past several weeks all sweaty and stinky
Will I look like a newb if my wheel logos are on the outside?>>209274Sell them to someone with a FF.
>>207401>>207401My local shop went and ordered a run of boards and clothes from that NYC company Hardbody.Their hats are going for 75 fucking dollars. The idiot shop owner is always crying because nobody buys the expensive clothes and he goes and does this lmfao
>>209286Bro lmao I'm not American so I don't know how prices are there but a hat should be 10-20 bucks. How does a literal hat cost 75? Is it genuine leather or what? Don't tell me it's your average gay stoner 4 panel cap.
>>209286And I was bullied for paying $50 retail for my supreme hats.
>>209289>Don't tell me it's your average gay stoner 4 panel cap.That's exactly what it is. It's just a regular black baseball cap, it said Hardbody across in the front. That's all.
>>209286there are already enough lame companies from NYC. hardbody is such a nothing brand, only contributing to the over saturation of unnecessary and excess board companies. another one similar is CARPET and their gay ass $90 dollar "hand painted" decks ....charging boutique prices for skate shit lmfao
and who even skates for hardbody? durao and hjalte? i thought hjalte was on polar.... this is literally just another lame cool guy brand that doesn't even pay actual skaters, thats why their hats are $75.
Damn everyone has a brand these days.
>>209297>durao and hjalte?Those two own it iirc. They just put out a video and other than Durao's part it was kind of hard to watch. His part wasn't as good as his Quickstrike part either. Its also full of nobodies of questionable skillhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6bXh2HgwVE
>>209301i actually like hjalte Dancer brand, the corduroy pants look nice they need to bring them back. they also have some neat graphic tees so it's kinda weird they made an entire separate brand when he already has that one that is also better. i tried watching that vid but the filming was too ass and the music was whack. i can appreciate SD footy, it's charming when done right but this brand is trying to hard to coast on italicize font. which is also dumb as hell, like they seriously can't be arsed to curate some kind of art for their brands image....all the have is just a boring font wow
>>209297hjalte off polar. pontus is apparently a huge cunt irl.
when is /esg/ starting our brandi'm pro of coursewhen car battery learns to heelflip he can be toowe'll put knee guy on a t-shirt
>>209315Knee guy here and I started the car battery meme just so you know and I'm also heelflip guy too.
>>209316thats fake knee guy is way more aggro and usually drunk
>>209301that was badass I'm for it
>>209321I'm straight edge. Stop making shit up based on nothing, retarded ape.
>>209315we should sell /esg/ branded skate trainers to help all the newbies ollie
>>207401The pastebin link is dead
I haven't skated since I was probably 8 years old since I was too scared of hurting myself especially hitting my headI'm 19 now but my dog died last night and I'm moving out next week for some reason I just can't stop thinking about getting back into skating, I don't really get any exercise anywaysMaybe this is just another autistic interest or something but idk, now my main concern is having time for it if I did go back and re learn how to skateIdk life is crazy
New whip.
>>209347Take your blog elsewhere, faggot.
>>209349how bout i take my blog all over ur face
>>209348Hope that's not some cucked political message at the bottom but I really like these corny edgy spoopy graphics. Just my taste.
Why did street skating explode in late 1980s and 1990s?Besides obvious Ollie/kicklip invention.Was pavement shit in the 1960s-1970s and early 80s?Was there some sort of road/sidewalk renovation in Los Angeles during that time? I’m not that familiar with the history. Genuinely curious.
>>209347I’m getting back into it but I’m super tall and have trouble balancing with my size 14 feet. I have a fear of smashing my head too even with a helmet it’s scary. I don’t exercise anymore and it’s kicking my butt from riding and just doing moving ollies.
>>209362skateboarding was seen as a passing fad, and skateparks were being closed down or destroyed. Skaters adapted to skating the urban environment instead and street skating took over.
>>209367i guess im lucky that im pretty short for a guy 5'6-5'7 so i'll basically be like a tree stump that can balance infinitely maybe you just need to skate more and just have like a healthier lifestyle idk if youre old or something but idk maybe you should get back into exercising more if you're getting tired just from cruising around but yah idk how to cure the fear of hitting your head i guess its good to have it as a fear tho cause otherwise you might be too careless and kill yourself on a sidewalk
>>209373I’ve only recently been to a street park and jumping around tires me out. Body was sore for days. I’m going to spend more time just riding the board even tho I need a 9” wide deck. Because I saw Ron Whaley is close to my height and he uses a wide board.
>>209374longer wheelbase might also help >>207339
jio was a mistake
how long do we have until india takes over skateboarding?
>>209388>hello saar pliz teach how to kigflib
>>209382fucking lmao pajeets are so horrible. they should just be banned from the internet.
Tall anon here, so I don't need anything wider than 8.5", I got a pair of skate shoes and they help with balancing, I changed my bushings to bones hardcore, the grimple stix spitfire wheels are wider than my old wheels and probably help with balance too. My big issue is squatting tires me out, when I do boneless the board doesn't snap in half so I'm not that heavy. I hear a click coming from my trucks, the pivot cup on my trucks looks fine and they are not tight. I learned to stop pushing mongo today too.>>209375I might get a wider board if I ever focus on vert
>>209388>>209390God please no, the smell would be so fucking awful.
So imo, skate series are actually meh in a sense that these games make me feel like >why am I even playing this instead of skating outside?Tony Hawks games are much better because they show off some insane vert shit at high speeds that is hard to pull off in real life.If skate 3 can motivate you to learn laser flips, tony hawk can motivate you to at least try to do a 900 or get some big airs in a vert ramp, imo these things are a lot cooler than laser flips on flatground
>>209181Absolutely based
>>209393So this wasn't a troll? Post board plox
