well i guess as far as clothes, tastefully thrifted well fitting clothes are good i guess, anything that alludes to your personality or interests is cool. skate clothes made by skate companies are not worth the money and not interesting, also don't like expensive hypebeast shit like dime and supreme so just another reason to buy second hand. it's also a more fulfilling way to find clothes.

September seems to be the worst time of the year for package shipments. The sudden influx of inept seasonal workers seems to disrupt the flow of operations majorly, QoS nosedives, and everything that could go wrong goes wrong. Then in October it seems to improve but only slightly as everything recalibrates to the new flow, much of it might be due to drive-by hires leaving. Then in November the hecticness ramps up due to the massive increase in holiday shipments, although there seems to be less shipping problems. December is about the same. January, same? Lots of return shipments. February seems to be when everything finally starts to return to normal which stays much the same until the next September. This is just a pattern that I've recognized. I could be wrong.
Thanks for reading my blog.

do we all agree Shane from Tom Astas videos is the most relatable skater of all time?
https://youtu.be/zcsw_EnxqgY
>>
>>212104
I just got back into skating this year and only found Tom Asta because he made a video featuring a local skatepark 2 days before I was there and originally assumed he was just some douchebag with a camera, but them guys are pretty cool. Skate spots and skate parks on the east coast arent very inspirational for me, but I dont see myself quitting skateboarding entirely like I did before so Ill keep trying.
>>
>>212107
His skating is so satisfying to me, how i dream to skate. Then shane brings me back to reality. I like that they're just comfy skating sessions, no clickbait or nonsense.

do you guys prefer thin shoes or puffy shoes

chunky/puffy skate shoes have been making somewhat of a resurgence it seems, at least online and I see them pop up at the park usually on zoomers lately
When I started skating I always heard the advice that thinner shoes are best because they give you more "board feel" or whatever, but I've also seen oldheads say the chunky shoes are better because they last longer and are more comfortable

I skate half cabs which arent super thin but definitely are compared to stuff like DCs but I[m curious how much of a difference it actually makes on the board
>>
>>212285
I went for thin shoes when I came back to skating, but when I used to skate when I was younger I had the chunky shit only. I kind of want to give it a try again having some fat shoes.
>>
>>212285
thin, love the board feel of last resorts and converse

Scootering is so young that any time I see a scooterer? that is visibly over 18 they look really out of place to me and I wouldn't trust them

I'm also a fan of the sk8mafia dudes. Wes Kremer and Tyler Surrey have stayed on sk8mafia even when they could have left for larger brands. When Wes got SotY in 2014 I bet he received a few offers.

Scooter kids can be annoying sometimes but the biggest skatepark near me is plagued by kids on mountain bikes.

The park nearest me has a flow like a toilet bowl where you can enter in a few ways and find a few ways out where a skater good at transition can take up every line possible. I miss the park I grew up with that is gone now where you had a wide range of banks and quarter pipes back and forth and obstacles in the middle.
>>
>>212374
pic related. I hate it.
>>
>>212375
actually they built a lot more since that photo, but the flow remains the same and it is always pretty crowded.
>>
>>212375
worst bowl i ever skated but the inside layout of the park is fun. the outside layout is stupid as fuck.
>>
>>212378
youve been there? the inside would be fun if youre alone. I just try to pretend the park doesnt exist because I havnt had any fun there.
>>
>>212380
yeah, its fine with a few people, we always get there before 12 so its fine. ive never been there with more than like 7 or 8 people. I also like skating the mini and dont mind the ledges so I got options if its feeling too crowded on the drop in. i have fun, lots of shit to do and try, really wanna get a nollie big spin at the top of the tall bank. last time I was trying to get a front 5-0 around the coping on the other side of the drop in

>>
>>212367
is that a rifle?
>>
>>212375
If I skated this park I would probably just do circles around the outside hitting ledges and flatground between obstacles
>>
>>212407
the outside unfortunately has the shittiest flow, its narrow, many blind spots, shoots you out right into the qp/drop in/main area. that L curve you see is a curb thats too low to the ground to actually slappy.
>>
>>212407
thats what I do cause I suck at transition

>>212408
the L curve is a big curving ledge now, but I still hate the flow. The rail is a rail on a manny pad now
>>
>>212411
>the L curve is a big curving ledge now
well at least that makes it somewhat skateable. still not in a good spot, cant get a good run up to it without possibly getting in someones way

Guys the owner of Socal skateshop is dying of cancer AND his sales are all down. Apparently all of the skateshops are doing horribly. The industry is in the toilet...

So today the owner of my local shop showed us the boards they're going to get for skateshop day, which is in February, they're ordering stuff now.
If anyone is interested in those limited boards, the stuff for next year is going to be a skateshop day graphic with a skeleton, a Real Natas board with a cat and little kittens that is kind of nice desu, an Ishod board with cars on it, a There board with disgusting scribbles on it for the gays, and then for the boomers there's a Grosso board drawn by Lance Mountain.
I hope our shops are still in business by then lol

When I go out skating with someone it’s usually shred until someone or everyone gets injured. I see no fun in this technical mostly flatground stuff at low speeds.
If I can’t do a trick down a stair set - it’s not a real trick.
Grinds/slides should be long, last multiple seconds, otherwise it’s trash skating. It’s fine to do a short grind if you’re learning but if you know how to do a proper grind there is no excuse for not doing the whole ledge.

I don’t care if I sound like a dick or a faggot I’m just tired of seeing this shit when the guy KNOWS how to to skate but CHOOSES to skate like a fucking pussy
>look man I just don’t wanna get hurt

really just get 90a-97a 57-60 ish mm wheels from any reputable wheel brand
93a-99a if said brand does the "83b=103a" thing
no, you don't need riser pads
>>
>>212623
how do you call this trick? was is truck or wood?
>>
>>212638
>90a-97a 57-60 ish
way too large and soft
>>
>>212644

the question the guy asked was "What wheels to use for skating in rough ground that can also do tricks" not "What wheels to use at a skate park with a lot of street obstacles"...

56 is standard at most, what my brother rides, who's small and mostly just practices flip tricks, so saying to go smaller for skating rough streets, when you see people killing it on 58s at the park all the time, is bloody stupid. Having your board an extra 2-3mm off the ground isn't going to fuck up your flips if you're skating in the rough.
>>
>>212646
>56 is standard at most
lmao no
>>
>>212646
or, I won't bullshit, half the really talented skaters I see ride wheels around the 58 mark, the other half would just ride whatever size wheel until it's just a bearing cover. That still works at the skate-park but it wouldn't get you very far in the streets.
>>
>>212647
sure as hell is in my neck of the woods. Don't know what smooth-pavement heaven you're skateboarding in.
>>
>>212649
i live on the east coast US known for crusty ass ground and most people I know are still riding 54s we just push through it man
>>
>>212652
sure thing, suit yourselves, but the guy who asked the question, wanted a smoother ride that he could still flip, not just to buy regular wheels and push through... Granted even my F4's that wore down to 50mm are still much smoother then some wheels on completes...

>>211302
if you've got shit wheels like Elements, it's probably the wheels and not the concrete that's the problem. Maybe, check with a friend's board, if it's still rough as shit, get a 58/60mm 95a or 97a. If not, 54mm F4's would be better if you're into tech.
>>
and uh, if you're into tech and it's still rough as shit, get like a 55 97a. If you're into bowls and it's smooth get like a 58 99a
>>
>>212655
Are you sure you have the sizing correct? Anything 56+ is huge
>>
>>212667
he's a fucking retard that has no idea what hes talking about. probably started skating in the past year or two and now wants to dish out advice like he knows something, happens a lot here.
>>
I skate transition and very little street but very much can do almost any terrain with 56s, realistically they're more like 54's now - formula fours obviously
>>
56s are pretty nice but i hate the wheelbite
>>
I have 55mm 85A on a cruiser set up and any bigger would feel weird andnthe wheel bite would be a problem.
>>212646
>Having your board an extra 2-3mm off the ground isn't going to fuck up your flips
I disagree. Nyjah struggled to kickflip Tony Hawks board and it took some adjusting. For a pleb like me every little change throws my timing off.

i havent really been watching but this dumb data SKATE series seems like one of the most embarrassing things happening atm. just how many skate tubers are there and why are they so damn lame
>>
>>212813
Its been mildly entertaining. One of the youtubers actually rage quit. He was supposed to play a match, but had disappeared from the park. He texted dumb data saying GH was too annoying and Kelly Hart's judging sucks.
>>
>>212794
You don't actually like Jamie Griffin's skating, right?
>>
>>212818
i know thats what Im saying i was just catching up on the drama and its fucking embarrassing as fuck. and the craziest thing is that the crybaby that quit doesnt even seem to be wrong about GH and Kelly
>>
I watched it all last night. Was thoroughly entertaining. What a bunch of fucking awkward weirdos (some were chill). GH getting smoked, acting like a tard then having a cry in the comments that he was just pretending to be retarded was the cherry on top.

Who bailed? That Zach guy got pretty heated in both his games.

Also hilarious dumb data built his whole channel shitting on batb and skatetube then this is what he comes up with. And reveals himself as an overweight nerd.

Apparently 2k is in the line which is why half are taking it more seriously which just adds to the weird vibes. Good shit.

>>212819
No he isn't my favourite skater but I can enjoy and appreciate his skill. How the fuck can you not respect what Jamie does?

ricta clouds or bones stf?
>>
>>212881
I can vouch for clouds for a smoother cruise on crusty ground, at least, but never bought bones anything outside of reds and never will.
>>
>>212885
not that anon, but i was interested in ricta clouds too because vibrations kill my feet when I try to skate around to find spots. Do the 92a slide? I currently have 99a? or 101a f4 spitfires 52mm. They take so long to wear down that I havnt been incentivized to replace them yet.
>>
>>212886
>Do the 92a slide?
I can only speak for the 87's, but if I try even just a simple revert I get pitched, but the ground I used them on is really uneven and crusty, so might depend what you're dealing with. I can't imagine 92's being that much different. If it's just for cruising anyway, losing your slide isn't a big deal, just use your foot to slow down instead if you tend to ps a lot.
>>
>>212881
im speaking from recent experience when I say do not fucking get rictas holy shit worse decision of my life I found out quick why they were on sale for $13. Everyone told me getting rictas would be a mistake too, I didnt listen. I took a chance on pig wheels and even these are way better.
>>
>>212879
seems like a serious fucking loser to me. musta really needed the money
>>
>>212855
>And reveals himself as an overweight nerd.
is DD the chubby autist with the glasses??? lol dude doesn't look like he can even skate
>>
>>212892
What about your rictas were so bad, were they 99a or above? I heard clouds are good for cruising (>>212887) and they were, but otherwise don't think any fucker buys them above 92a for general skating.
>>
>>212897
That's him. He has a 'i played tony hawk, watched a few skate videos and read thrasher, so i think i know a thing or two about skating' look about him. I blame him fully for the atrocious vibes. Even the edits for the YT uploads are fucked, like the fucking gay sound effects and slow mos at the weirdest moments. He's just not built to be a public facing, public speaking person, but he's forcing it anyway. Lame cunt.
>>
>>212898
>but otherwise don't think any fucker buys them above 92a for general skating.
hi its me im a stupid fucker. I got 99a's and they were the most vibrations I ever felt outta a wheel, they wore down quick, people warned me I'd get flatspots and I was like eh I hardly powerslide anyway, still got flatspots. fuck em. idk for cruising but I wouldnt buy rictas ever again on principle alone.
>>

>Kelly Hart's judging sucks.

Kelly Hart hooked with Gifted Hater? Fuck that. Why? I didn't watch ANOTHER game of skate. You know what I watched? Ben DeGross' guide on how to improve my POP.
>>
>>212862
jeff does wear his emotions on his sleeve and gets frustrated easily, so I don't know how much I trust his word on "i joked that i was skating poorly and out of nowhere he called me negative!"Jeff posts plenty of clips of him seemingly on the verge of tears over stupid shit. Theres no doubt that playing skate with him for a year wouldn't involve seeing even more of it, so not that crazy to think Zach would get sick of it after a while. I don't think Jeff is intentionally misrepresenting the situation, but I don't think he's aware how his words/tone when he's frustrated comes off to other people.

That being said, Zach was a whiny bitch the whole game and Jeff busting out the "do my inward heels count?" in response to the pressure flip was gold.

>>212855
>GH getting smoked, acting like a tard then having a cry in the comments that he was just pretending to be retarded was the cherry on top.
I thought it was obvious he was just shit talking and wasn't serious. It was just a bad move to be the only person trying to bust balls. Mogely seemed like he picked up on it and tried to chirp back a bit, but neither of them were funny enough with it and after the jeff/zach match it all just came off as awkward.

Chris Chann was super chill as always and seeing zach/jeff spazz out and joa awkwardly double down on trying to make shit talk work in the situation while Chris is just effortless radiating zen makes their behavior look even worse.
>>
Gifted Hater offered Dumb Data money to cut him out of the videos and Dumb Data refused. Gifted Hater wanted to commit suicide over the way it all ended up but I thought it was really funny, he should have landed some tricks against Mogely though.
>>
>>212899

2,883 paid patreon members times $5 is 14,415 a month.

>>
>>212976
doesn't even include youtube monies, he's netting at least 200k yearly by being a friend simulator.
>>
I've never seen a video of a guy doing a 540 on street (like into a bank or down a flight of stairs). Does anyone have any examples of this?
>>
>>212980
>>212981
also doesnt include the people who pay $10 a month, he could easily be making 20k off patreon alone. also Im assuming he takes donations on twitch or whatever? really kinda pathetic for all of skateboarding. if I was making that kind of money off of fucking nothing I would not let a company flow me shoes or boards, Id be buying boards and shoes and giving them to people. people who watch streamers and give them money should be put up against a wall, fucking idiot losers.

>>212983
im sure jeff has done a 540 shuv down a stair set on another occasion but youll hardly see 360 shuvs in street parts even, just not a trick people do.
>>
also if youre paying $5 or $10 to watch a dude play video games and rant about skateboarding you need another fucking hobby. I cant stress enough how boring and lame core skaters™ who's only hobbies and interests are skateboarding are, especially if your in your mid 20s or older. people who only watch skate videos, play skating video games, read skate zines, listen to skate podcasts, watch skate tubers and skate streamers, wear skate clothes... just absolute fucking dipshit losers who 90% of the time are cool guys™. most pros have other hobbies and interests ffs
>>
>>212986
I mean a 540 as in a 540 spin although a shove would be cool as well. Just weird that people can do 360 ollies on flatground but I've never seen people try and push it and do 540's anywhere outside of a vert ramp.
>>
>>212989
Matt Hensley in that Plan B footage. Brian Lotti did one in like 1991 down some stairs. Vincent Alvarez did a 540 off a bump. All of them fakie though, I guess you have to wind up with a lot of force.

I don't think these people exist and the only reason you do is because you're confusing "only puts out skate content" with "is only interested in skating."

Paying for Gifted Hater content is dumb as fuck but I have a little respect for taking "this is a skateboard channel not a vlog" approach unlike most youtube skaters. Keyword is "little" because being one of the least garbage youtube skater is still being a youtube skater.

Of course they do and are exactly as anon said. Braindead and can literally only talk in length about skate related shit. They will obviously dabble in films, tv or music as most people do, but good luck getting any kind of depth out of the conversation if you actually care about one of those things. My experience with these types are mostly older guys 35+ and the only other thing they love to do, other than talk about skating, is spout off basic life advice and platitudes as if it's some kind of sage wisdom they have attained in old age. It's fucking insufferable, those dudes love to huff their own farts. You know them straight away by how they try to teach you how to do a trick you can already land. Miss it once in front of them and that's it, they will be on you trying to give you a reddit-tier breakdown for the next 15mins.

I just built a box that fits in my car. Its made out of scrap wood from my work and an old bedframe, so it only cost me about $8 to make. Gonna take it to nice dry spots come the winter snow. I'll have my hot coffee and cigs. It will be comfy :)
>>
>>213067
I keep seeing furniture people are throwing out and I keep getting tempted to just put some steel on it for an easy box. I have a prebuilt round flat rail, but its annoying to put in my car and boxes are more fun. Plus if its mostly hollow i can keep it in my car and not really lose storage space.
>>
>>213065

>>213067
very nice anon, how did you do it for 8 dollars? salvage the materials or have them laying around? I have two six foot angle irons laying but very little carpentry skills so Im just waiting till I can steal enough cinderblocks to make a perma box somewhere.

>>213067
>it only cost me about $8 to make
damn, where did you ge the metal for the coping from? thought that would at least have bumped the cost up beyond pocket change tier.
>>
>>213068
Yeah, having it hollow is nice because I can tuck stuff inside of it. I used this site https://www.diyskate.com/grind_ledge.html , but I made mine 70" because that's the exact length of the angle iron I got from the bedframe
>>213069
>>213071
The warehouse at my work has a lot of 2x4s just lying around. The only thing I had to buy was a couple 10' 2x4s because most of the scrap wood was too short to use on the length. I got lucky with the other two long pieces I needed.

I had the bedframe already, but that thing was a bitch to pull apart. Probably a third the time I spent building it was tearing that thing apart. Had to cut a bunch of metal rivets with a reciprocating saw

Golf is awesome. Its like skating where you can do 10 kickflips but one just feels right. Hit the same 10 shots but one you'll hit sweetly. It gives a similar satisfaction.

What about surfing, you fags got a problem with surfing too?

Youll grow out of hating.
It felt different in the cky era. Before all the glamour and big budget shit. Viva La Bam was fun but didn't hit like those early videos, almost like a celebration of Bam /makingit/.. before it was just a group of friends in suburbia having fun. Making bootleg videos and doing dumb shit you and your friends could emulate.
People grow old and sometimes become retards, doesn't change that golden era for me.
>>
>>213201
Bam has always been cringe. Most people I knew that were into that shit didn't even skate. He was a pro for normies to latch onto. Him, Sheckler, and Dyrdek were always considered wack for being TV personalities
>>
>>213203
I thought the people who thought they were wack, were wack*. In retrospect I still do. We are talking early internet where to get skate content was to download a 3 min part for 12 hrs from limewire and a 411 each month. And I got free skate content on TV?! I loved it..

Hating things makes you look and feel more intelligent than defending things you like when you're younger.
It will also make you feel more vulnerable while stating you like something because at any time someone can just accost you and make you feel like you're on the defensive.
When you're hating something, you feel like the attacker, an aggressor, and that will make you feel powerful.

This cunt is really needs to go. He's not doing anything different by pointing out that sometimes pros put out lazy footage for their brands just to have something to sell. Most people can probably tell this, the only difference is they don't voice all their thoughts in front of a camera and put on YT. The audacity to say he has a style like Knox as well, jesus this guy really has let a bit of internet fame go to his head (if that wasn't some kind of throwback joke to another one of his vids, or something). That dumb data event really showed what it would be like hanging out with that guy in real life without being able to edit himself to appear funny.

/esg/ i have a question for you. I was watching the latest SLS in Sydney and there was this weird man on the sidelines they kept showing. I have seen him before at previous competitions. I don't like this man. I don't like seeing him. I don't like how he's there all the time. He doesn't seem to ever actually compete in anything. He is just there.

Who is this man? Why does he wear strange fashion accessories?

Please help with landing my kickflip, anons. I can do the motion and get the board to flip, I can do it at a decent height, but I cannot understand getting my feet back on the board, especially getting the back foot out of the way and back on. Also don't understand if I need to jump slightly sideways (in the direction of the kick) to catch the board, or whether I jump straight up. I can't even YOLO attempt a land cause my feet just spaz out after the flip cause I am predicting it being a primo land before I've even confirmed the flip properly, so always do a one foot catch. Is there anything that I need to know that makes this part easier, or is it literally grind it out until I get that one confident moment and it just happens? Sucks seeing other beginners who are clearly much worse on their boards landing kickflips cause they are low and fast, but I can't even do them like that as a compromise.

No one can help outside of telling you a bunch a basic shit that everyone regurgitates. You really just need to land on the board. Keep your shoulders square with your feet and commit. If you want it badly enough it will happen. Don't beat yourself up over it. Confidence is key with most tricks.
>>
>>213551
move your back foot heelside more. play around with different placements but the ball of your foot should be somewhere on the heel side of the tail.
>>
bros I got a weird issue the inner diameter of my wheels where the bearings sit is like .5mm too big so the wheels have like diagonal 'play' and it sounds like i've got massive flat spots. is there any way to like shrink the wheels down or stuff the gap with something? the bearings popped in pretty easy when they were new but it wasn't loose enough to be an issue at first. only like 2-3 months old they're basically brand new otherwise.
>>
>>213552
i somehow caught it live. 1 week for the next ep is a bit much these days. sick to see madders, wes and leo in it.
>>
>>213551
imagine wanting to land that low close to the ground flip shit draws negative envy from me I'd rather just not
>>
>>213551
>Also don't understand if I need to jump slightly sideways (in the direction of the kick) to catch the board, or whether I jump straight up
protip when learning any new trick: do the flip a few times without trying to land on your board and look at where it lands. That's where you should try to land. For now, it doesn't matter if it lands a little crooked or if it lands a bit to the side or front or back or wherever. Get landing on it consistent and then you can work on building the board control to clean it up.
>>
>>213606
I don't understand what you are describing. You should post a pic
>>
>>213551
DESPITE catching kickflips with your back foot most your weight should be landing over your front foot. I suspect the reason you dont want to put your back foot on is because too much weight is over that leg and if you do force it on you'll slip out backwards, so naturally you avoid it. imo thats the issue.

see how much the wheel moves without the bearing moving? i figure I could wedge something in there or something. it basically thuds around and feels/sounds kinda like a flat spot especially when putting more pressure on one side than the other

It's a desperation thing. It looks ugly and gay, but at least they are flipping the board and landing back on it.

Pic related. I did some attempts, but no make. It's been at least 4 months coming back from an ankle injury, so I'll need to warm up first, but I will say my confidence is through the roof and my ollies are so fucking clean all of a sudden. The resting did me some good.

you'll have better luck finding them with searches like "early grab fingerflip body varial" than with monkeyflip. first result on duckduckgo is some redditor doing a really ugly one and mistitling his post: https://www.reddit.com/r/skateboarding/comments/wcbpfz/indy_early_grab_fingerflip_180_i_think/

you might see them in some older amateur tranny contests but I don't have any links offhand.
