>>214013>Skatepark etiquette: Remember everyone there shares a common interest with you.not even remotely close to being true.
>>214013>Skatepark etiquette: Remember everyone there shares a common interest with you.heroin?

>>214028>i said something retarded in the OP and now Im embarrassed>>214027>no ones doing heroin at my localsounds lame, bet you gotta way too many kids smoking weed on the ramps and ledges
>>214030it's been in the op forever, op just gets copied and pasted. who gives a fuck. why bother shitting up the thread to respond to that one line whens theres a skateboarding video you could have commented on? and for the most part it's not stupid, it's true. majority of people at the skatepark are usually there to skate, quit nitpicking like a whinny faggot.
>>214031are you ok?
>>214028king
>>214032skateboarding?
>>214034guess not oh well.
>>214013>Thread videoChris Millic has such sick style. I love these rough cut videos. The Gabriel Summers White Flag rough cut that just came out recently was cool too. So many gnarly slams and he just keeps going. Seeing that stuff motivates me to take more risks in my own skating
>>214038>So many gnarly slams and he just keeps going.nick rios has the funniest bails lmao. dude is a bit heavy set, falls so slowly but somehow still slams
>>214038Gabs rough cut was insane>slides down 8 stairs on his head>background voice: "that was it bro!"

Any of you figs in NRW? I'm a noob and need company to learn
>>214106Im in NRFB
>>214016Good point. There has been a severe lack of disdain and ridicule towards mega-corporate skateboarding.>>214038Chris Milic is one of my most favourite skateboarders. That Welcome team was one for the ages.
>>214146>Chris Milic is one of my most favourite skateboardersi bet you like fancy lad too faggot
>>214146Skate shoe brands used to put out the best vids too.. So long as people keep supporting corporate brands they'll keep pumping out trash and destroying the industry.
>>214150the only lad i fancy is you
>>214155The Nike and Cons videos were great. They hired well respected filmers and made good shit. The Dickies video on the other hand felt much more corporate and squeaky clean
>>214150I fucking love them and wished I lived in their house. Fancy Lad is what skateboarding is all about. Seriously.
>>214150>>214209meh fancy lad was great 2012-2014 or so... back when it was the OG boston boomer crew... they are filled with too many new youngins who aren't very interesting now. new hell was peak
I stopped skating not long after Emericas Stay Gold video. I loved that video and the whole feel of that brand/era. >*this is skateboarding*Fancy Lads Is This Skateboarding got a chuckle from the title alone so I randomly gave it a watch one day, started skating again the next.Those fancy lads reminded me go have fun so they get a free pass forever.
>>214214>>*this is skateboarding*>Fancy Lads Is This Skateboarding got a chuckle from the title aloneExactly. And the video itself is funny. I remember thinking I never laughed at a skate video before.
Im pretty much experiencing a mid life crisis and Im glad I came back to skateboarding because Im remembering my failings and also the things I want to do. And I smoked some weed which always makes me feel like some kind of buddhist monk and over 10 years away from skating, my board went from 7.6 inches to something bigger and its just an entirely different feel when trying to be flashy, but bigger is what is suited to what I used to do as a kid, but not used to using power to do a kickflip per say. Next year is probably going to be progress while this year all ive done is start again.
>>214235And reading my own self the best part of skateboarding was just having a board, even if i was seen as anything by anyone else, I didnt care because I was balanced and creative. I did my thing because it was fun. As an adult its a little bit of a chore to challenge myself.
>>214236don't think of it as a chore, i like to use skating as an alternative to doomscrolling. keeps you outside, keeps you grounded. way better use of time. dont put too much pressure on your self and progressing when you are getting back into it or it will not be fun.
>>214212>meh fancy lad was great 2012-2014 or so... back when it was the OG boston boomer crewYou are thinking of Welcome.
>>214245Just keep skating uncThe Bunt is back btw

>>214386texas lol
>>214412Have you met any of the Texas legends?
I really dig gifted hater. He calls out the bewwwlshit in the industry. He is counter-culture. He is a skateboarder. I bet Geoff Rowley is secretly donating to his channel. The only liiiittle gripe I had was when he called out Steezus Christ, because Steezus wasn't hurting anybody, he was put on by his homies or even by merit of his own infiltration skills. I mean they are still making docus and have truck and board models for Eric Dressen for fuck's sake. What did Steezus do?
>>214420i got a pic with neen williams
>>214421he was guilty of general cringe. He's a cool black dude so you can't just call out something he does for being corny people flip their shit
>>214421I remember that, it really solidify him as a world class hater in my eyes. Sometimes I think he goes after low hanging fruit but I think it just shows that no one gets the pass.
>>214425No, I meant the 80s.
>>214425i thought neen was from chiraq mirin that front smith btw.
>>214436He's not really a hater though.>>214458What smith?
>>214459>He's not really a hater though.well his videos would be way less entertaining if he was being like black ninja who is a hater for real.
Gifted hated has gone from semi funny kid to intollerable to me. That steezus video was one of the few good things he has done. He is a meme character now.

>>214608I quit using it 10 years ago (lainchan superiority) so maybe the culture has changed but I was mostly thinking of programmer socks, programming while crossdressing, dragon dildos, and the satania obsession
apart from /pol/ and /biz/ every other board is a containment zone for skitzos, fags and skitzo fags
>>214619i miss peak bull run /biz/ of 2020. good times

Post videos with cute skateboard chicks.
>>214676>>214698its just auto set from /lgbt...
where is /esg/ skating ati'm in northern virginia, there's a decent amount of cool parks herei swear i'm not datamining I'm just curious
I've got a Sony FX30, pic related gimbal, and a bunch of friends that skate. None of them are amazing, but it'd still be fun to get put together something way over-produced. Maybe turn it into some kind of documentary or something.I'm competent enough on a board to not eat shit following them, but want to put together a cruiser board where I definitely don't have to worry about any bumps or cracks or rocks and can just focus on the camera.Thinking those 72mm 78a Plow Kings for wheels, and maybe something like a Landyachtz Tugboat for a deck? Open to whatever suggestions you got.
>>214714>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yj8hkhmtkQ&t=311s
>>214735Dinghy Fender or Dinghy Blunt Fender? Their oops section might have one a discount.
>>214732Southern SoCaliLA Angeles, to be precise
>>214743the capital of sk8ing
>>214732i went to the park last night but it was too spooky.usually i just skate schoolyards.va looks like it has some cool spots and you have dc & nyc within spitting distancegiwtwm
>>214741Any reason you suggest those over the Tugboat?
>>214749The decks are contoured to have wheel flares for less wheel bite with bigger wheels. Hence the name Fender. They're for their completes with their bear trucks and risers so I don't know how beneficial they would be with other trucks.
>>214751Tugboat has the same shit though and is 9.25" instead of 8" for the Fender.
>>214756Those are wheel wells.>Wheel wells are cutouts on the deck where the wheels are expected to touch the board. They’re made by either sanding that part of the deck down, or by cutting out it with a CNC machine or a wood router.>Wheel flairs are a bit different. The part where the wheelbite should occur is raised. This is made by pressing the board in a certain way, resulting in a bump/raised bit about where the wheels are. This increases clearance by a bit too.LY really should make that clearer on their website. Fenders have both wheel wells and wheel flares. Also consider that wider decks are more prone to wheel bite all else equal. With bigger wheels you have to compromise between turning radius, ride height, and deck width. You can use a Tugboat with 72mm wheels but there's a reason why those completes have smaller wheels than the Dinghy completes. People even complain about the Fender's higher ride height like they're doing one-leg squats with every push.
>>214757Ah, got it. Thanks dude.

I've thought about getting into skateboarding... but I'm in my thirties. What's the best approach? I'd be a complete ass turning up to a skatepark surrounded by teenagers as an absolute beginner.
>>214890>>214890>What's the best approach?You're old enough to already know the answer, anon - you just get out there and do it. Choose boomer times (early morning) to go to the park if you want to be by yourself or in good company with other adults. Find spots locally that let you roll around alone and get the basics down, like pushing, rolling off curbs etc. Use your garage/garden/driveway whatever to get going if you really need to. Most importantly, there is ABSOLUTELY NO FUCKING WAY to avoid looking like a beginner tard when you start out. You have to put your ego aside and humble yourself for a bit.
>>214890when you go to the park and where the park is will have a big impact on the crowd. i haven't seen another human at the skatepark in 10 years because i skate from 12 am to 7 am. you don't need to have schizo hours either because realistically there's barely anyone there before like 11 unless it's the peak of summer and you have a skate camp in your area.you can also learn a lot of basic skateboarding without ever setting foot in a park so you don't need to go in as a complete fucking scrub.also you're 30 nigger, go build a pool
>>214879>Mercyful Fate musicHoly fuckin' BUSSIN.
i like skateboardin
>>214920based
>>214920I havnt skated in like a month but I still load up this thread every day. I guess I burnt myself out a bit trying to perfect my kickflip for the better part of a year.
>>214922same dude same. except once it start hitting the low 70s i just started going on walks and riding my bike instead. im not wasting perfect weather on skating, i rather stare at the trees kek
>>214905You can find Mercyful Fate in Creature videos too, Blood Wizard has a whole heavy metal vibe. Creature too, since I mentioned it.
>>214920Lying online again, Timmy?
>>214922it keeps raining. i need to set up another rain board but im broke as shit
I like beginners who show up, be nice, say hello and acknowledge their level.. Often end up focusing half my sesh on helping them. I dont like beginners who show up, post up in some awkward spot and act like posers. Like homie go try your stationary shuvits in a cark park..
>>214948i think every beginner needs to take that bullshit to a car park unless they are trying to get comfortable on transition by practicing kick turns and pumping they are just taking up space and they are always skating in the most inconvenient spot for everyone else there and messing up the flow
>>214892>you just get out there and do itSure I guess I wanted to know bit more on how to approach skateboarding specificallyHow long does it take to get past the beginner tard phase?>>214904>build a poolWith the money I don't have on the land I don't own, I'll get right on that.
>>214967Depends on how often you try. Ollies can take like a month to learn if thats all you try to do and if you ride around a few times a week youll be pretty comfortable eventually.
>>214967also in your 30s you should always stretch. I always do some squats and ankle rolling, stretch my back. Im not really sure how I warm up, but I know my ability to snap my foot down is pretty vital once you start popping. You dont want to fall and be stiff. It gets a little dicey in the colder winter because its hard to be nice and limber. I tore some leg muscle last year in february on a fall.
>>214969>Im not really sure how I warm upi consciously try not to pop my tail for the first 15-20 mins these days
>>214968Ollies took me a day to learn when I was a kid. Just got a board again and it took me about 30 minutes to get them down again. I think the problem is people try to jump into ollies when they don't even have basic balance and confidence pushing/cruising.
>>214974Sometimes it's a mental barrier, i.e. getting air is unknown territoryBut ollies aren't the founding block. Traditionally you want to learn how to roll into banks and drop in on vert and early grab your way into the air.
