>>215829thoughts on the edg lrd drop?
Had a fucking great day at the park bros. Took me forever to learn front smiths on ledges last week, hours just to land one, similar deal I only recently learned 5-0 shuv, and I got both those tricks within a few tries tonight so I definitely feel like consistency is improving.Got all my usuals and other tricks within a couple tries as well, just a good night. Fuck yeah bois.

>>215838Do I wear a helmet? No. Should I wear a helmet? Yes.Even people who don't wear shit should at least be able to admit it's smarter to do so. I've had two concussions skating, both pretty mild, but obviously I haven't learned my lesson.James Hardy fucking died from CTE.If helmets keep skaters alive and healthy, then at the very least I think someone would have to be incredibly fucking arrogant to rag on someone for wearing one.
Fuck i thought my potential barrier spot was a dead end street but it actually ends at someone's driveway. Might have to look for a better spot. I have another potential spot right near the beach but it's sort of a high traffic area. I'm scared of getting caught pouring concrete.
>>215887Based
>>215838I've taken up skating again after something like 15 years of touching a board. Back then, like any kid, I refused to wear protections because I wanted to be a cool kid who isn't afraid of falling and whatnot.I've decided now that I'm always going to ride at least a helmet when skateboarding, and additional pads depending on what I'm trying to do, and honestly it is such a confidence booster that I'm progressing so much faster than I did back then.Like skateboarding is all about fighting the fear and committing to what you're trying to do, and having a helmet just instantly gives me a reason to not fear the fall. I would have never dared to commit to a rock-to-fakie if I wasn't wearing a helmet.It is kind of insane that magazines and competition continue to allow skateboarders not to wear them, when we all absolutely fucking know that it's encouraging kids to also not use protections and therefore put themselves at risk. I remember Andy Anderson talking about how everyone around him really didn't want him to wear a helmet, and some sponsors tried to convince him on the day of shooting to ditch it, some magazines refused his photos unless he took it off, some people pissed in it or threw it away, etc. In any other sports those guys would be considered directly liable for athletes getting hurt, it's fucking ridiculous.
>>215887might be dumb but id rather not skate than wear a helmut desu, if it comes to that i am taking up bowling or something. tranny gets a pass obviously.
>>215910desu you need to learn to fall properly whether you wear pads or not and most pad dads never do that part which is why they all have shit knees.if you just want to skate plazas then a helmet is overkill
i cant imagine wearing a helmet and pads if all your doing is normal street skating. big tranny is the only time a helmet is ever acceptable unless your old asf. its even weirder if you're just learning basic shit like how bout learning to fall before anything. if you're slamming your fucking head trying to learn nose slides on a knee high ledge or to rock to fakies on a qp/mini you are seriously fucking up.
>>215922>its even weirder if you're just learning basic shit like how bout learning to fall before anythingThat's kind of a stupid thing to say: if you are a beginner at skateboarding, then you also are supposedly a beginner at falling and can't be trusted to do it reliably, even if you have put the effort into learning it.What, is no one supposed to touch a skateboard until they can 100% guarantee that they're not gonna fall on their head?
>>215912"Knowing how to fall" is helpful, but you can't just brush away injury risk like that. Shit goes sideways fucking quick when you slip out on a waxy ledge or land uneven down a stairset - Knowing how to fall in those situations where you have 0.25 seconds to react isn't going to help you.I'm not really trying to preach helmets, just saying they're valid in really any situation skating. Elbow pads, knee pads? Meh. Wrist guards? Lol.
>>215909>It is kind of insane that magazines and competition continue to allow skateboarders not to wear them, when we all absolutely fucking know that it's encouraging kids to also not use protections and therefore put themselves at risk.Valid points up until this. You do you, but don't try to police others or blackball the culture that's been around for 40 years Mr. Rock to Fakie.I'd love to see more riders wearing helmets but under no situation do I want to see it mandated in mags/comps. Fuck that, absolutely.
>>215926To clarify, when I said that I didn't particularly mean that they *should* make helmets mandatory, more that I find it legitimately surprising that it is still possible for a sport like skateboarding to not have mandatory helmets in this day and age, when it seems like every other sport has folded to accepting protections as part of it.And I don't think that the "you do you" argument applies entirely , because that part of the skating culture (which btw - just because a culture is old doesn't mean it's right) isn't "you do you", it's more actively against helmets. It is changing as younger children (and older adults) are getting into the sport, but there still is a lot of pressure on skaters both amateurs and professionals to not wear a helmet. For amateurs it's not wanting to look ridiculous, for professionals it's pressure from sponsors and magazines. It is kind of a toxic environment in which a lot of people are complicit. If anything I guess it's more teachers not wearing protection that annoy me - like if you're doing beginner videos on youtube, you can't not know that your audience is going to have a lot of kids who will imitate you, and it wouldn't kill you to put on a helmet just to be a good example.(Also I'm still proud of myself for finally pulling rock-to-fakies so fuck you I'm taking that as a compliment)
>>215923nigga if you are eating shit on simple ledge tricks and qp tricks to the point where you need pads and a helmet you probably should practice rolling around a bit first or maybe just do something else.bunch of faggot scared middle aged retards in here. go take up bowling>>215931you're talking about shit you know nothing about people like you need to be gatekept and made fun of
>>215924>Knowing how to fall in those situations where you have 0.25 seconds to react isn't going to help you.it is going to help you you absolute faggot dipshit kook>Wrist guards? Lol.literally the best thing you can wear to keep you safe when street skating. you have no fucking clue what you're talking about and should fuck yourself with a golf club.
>>215931>If anything I guess it's more teachers not wearing protection that annoy mefaggot faggot faggot faggot faggot kys
>>215931I'd suggest trying Reddit or Slap, they have a much less toxic environment for you sister.
>>215940faggot should stick to braille and andy anderson comment sections

>>215935lmao I was thinking the only thing ive broken in 20 years is my wrist
>>215944I've also been skating 20 years-Two mild concussionsTwo bruised/hairline fractured ribsBroken pinkie fingieTore ligament in my ankleAll in all very mild. The ankle injury was probably the worst, that whole side of my calf turned black/blue within a few hours. Took about a week before I was able to walk without a nasty limp, but after a few months was mostly good to go again.Worth noting - One of the concussions was actually WHILE wearing a helmet on a 4.5' mini ramp (granted it was an old ass helmet and already had cracks in the styrofoam). On an axle stall of all things, no idea how I managed to fuck it up so badly but I managed to buck myself off the coping straight to flat and land on my head/shoulder. Probably would have been worse without the eggshell.
>>215944same dude, wrist guards are literally the best thing to wear if you're a beginner just starting out and wanna pad up. seen noobies with a helmet, knee pads and elbow pads and they end up just falling our on their hands/wrists the whole time. >>215945>One of the concussions was actually WHILE wearing a helmet on a 4.5' mini rampyeah dude helmets dont really actually help too much. its the same with bicycling, if you get hit by a car and hit the pavement head first your basically fucked no matter what. > On an axle stall of all things, no idea how I managed to fuck it up so badlyprobably just stopped focusing for two seconds, its how most stupid fuck ups happen. a real "did I remember to change the car battery, OH FUCK IM EATING SHIT" type moment.
>>215945I never hurt my ankle skating then totally destroyed it playing soccer. Haven't been able to kickflip the same since.>>215947funnily skating with that broken wrist is what forced me to learn to roll out of bails
>>215949i didnt skate while my shit was busted cause I was too paranoid but I was a lot better at rolling and shit after I started skating again. I had a friend who broke his wrist and kept skating with it and kept falling on it and it turned a 3 month proper recovery into a fucked up 6 month ordeal of him constantly having to go back to the doctors.
padfags think they're hated because they wear pads when really it's because they write 5 page essays about it. >>215882no thats too much tranny>>215888do it late at night
Any way to foot-brake without my foot catching and shooting back into my wheel? Feel like a tard but I'm already leaning back and starting with my heel.
>>215986What brake pads and rotors are you using?
>>215829Is there anything more cringe than a grown man that is so skate brained they do lame shit like incorporate skating into momentous moments of their life like their wedding, graduation pics and the birth of their first child? I can't imagine identifying with skateboarding this much yet I see this corny shit all the time. Why are so many skaters such obnoxious normal fags??
>>215986The dual foot-braking mongo system. Lean back on the board like you're braking with your heel, and a couple of milliseconds after the heel is on the ground, put your lead foot on the ground. Think of it like this: your heel is like a regular brake, and your lead foot is the emergency. I hope this makes sense.
>>215988why is it cringe? people include different aspects of their lives into their weddings and other occasions all the time. gunfags are the worst for this. >>215985>padfags think they're hated because they wear pads when really it's because they write 5 page essays about it.the preachy ones are always middle age dudes who been skating less than 3 years or fags who are trying to do a "le so wholesome skateboarding is for everyone" type youtuber shit. >>215986switch to disc brakes

>>215988Bro what a fucking loser you are, the dude owes everything he has to that board. It's not cringe, you are for being butthurt. Get a clue faggot.

>>216008hell fucking yes dude this shit needs to be posted every thread for all the pad faggots and how do I ollie posters to feel like fucking losers. i know almost all the lyrics to gucci gucci because of this song. my homie lived in san fran and oakland for years and knows a lotta these dudes.
ive also seen big hongry perform live at a skate jam but I was too drunk to really make sense of the performance cause I was too focused on the skating.
>>216005well yeah neen is allowed but the avg joe does not look good doing this

>>216033No, he's right. Dudes that pick up skating later in life tend to over think everything. They lack the spiritual connection with their board that comes from years of adolescence spent skating with like minded friends
>>216040Really good example of how these big dollar corporate edits have no flavor to them.Great skating neutered by incredibly bland and soulless music choices, way too much long lense shots.
>>216045idk I really enjoyed his part and that song is a classic and went well, those fakie flips and his feet positioning somehow clicked with me and mine today were feeling as good as they've been.also tom petty seemed to have been based and warning people about the satanic pedos in the 80s with that sing, foy probably knows - https://youtu.be/h0JvF9vpqx8
>>215909>It is kind of insane that magazines and competition continue to allow skateboarders not to wear them, when we all absolutely fucking know that it's encouraging kids to also not use protections and therefore put themselves at risk.Take it easy there with the mandates and the regulations...helmets have almost always been worn in vert. Skateboarding is not a sport so don't try to regulate it. Fuck responsibility. And I don't care if a kid dies, your taxes and mine pay actually so that children will guaranteed die in Palestine. When do we end this obsession, this cultivated from above hypochondria with the maintenance of our health as our first priority in life?
>>216044>spiritual connection with their boardFag
>>216060hes speaking the truth bitch. go get angry about someone getting married or some shit
funny asf how half the posters in these generals are people who just seemingly hate skateboarding. from the concern trolling "everyone should wear helmets and stop partying and the culture needs to change" fags to the "why did this guy whos been skateboarding all his life make skateboarding a part of his life, isnt that cringe?" haters to the "i dont care anything except about my personal progression (nosesliding a small box at their local park) so I cant actually talk about anything" and they are all so obviously mid 30s retards who just picked up a board or just started skating again. you'll never catch a guy whos just shooting hoops or kicking around a soccer ball working on fundamentals have this much apathy/hatred for their hobby. but then again this is just a 4chan thing in general. no where else on the internet will you find this phenomena
>>216086fuck off tranny, there's enough anti helmet and anti seatbelt threads in other boards from discorders trying to get us killedI am legitimately concerned
>>216096dawg the shizo posting is insane yall really do need helmets
>>216086jeremy klein the only good tru otaku 4chan skater talked constant shit about everything in skateboarding that wasn't in his inner circle
so how much do you guys practice switch?i've decided to start putting some time into it and holy shit it's like beginning all over again. i've managed to do some shitty ollies and drop in on tiny ramps but pushing with my left leg feels completely alien and i can't get used to it
>>216106Pretty much never but my nollies and switch ollies I have been working on the past 6 months or so. They're ok.. dropping in switch seems terrifying lol
>>216008That looks dope.

>>216112>complexic rightwingerbased
>>216086FUCK you, gayboy. If I want to show up at the park to practice ollies into the grass, I fucking will. That's what I enjoy doing. That's skateboarding to me, bitch. I am just as valid as the guy doing backflip to 5050 on the mini. I don't need to care about what lame, out-dated, soulless skate companies run by boomers are trying to do to pretend "skate culture" is cool and relevant. It's fucking not. I don't need to buy their overpriced ugly fucking clothes to pretend I am part of something. I don't need to watch their gay ass skate videos with the worst editing and music imaginable. I don't need to follow any shitty social media cunts, watch youtube "influencers" or go on fag forums and post about drama to enjoy skateboarding. I don't care what some mopey teenagers or early 20's fags think, nor do I care what some crusty old boomer veteran thinks. I just enjoy skating. You either skate or you don't and anything else is just your personal preference. Here's the fucking truth: these very threads are dumb shit ideas cause there's fuck all of importance to discuss in skateboarding. So you can fuck right off thinking what you have to say is any better than any of the things you just shit your pants about. Most of those posts are tourists and trolls so if you can't even detect that, then maybe lurk for another year or so before dribbling onto your keyboard and mashing the post button with your deformed little sausage fingers. Fucking retarded newfag thinks he's got everything figured out and comes here to make a post about how wrong and retarded he is. Thinking 4chan has a unique flavour of retards on it in this day and age. Thinks he can just know peoples age brackets in a sea of anonymous posters. Fucking newfag retard, kill yourself. You don't even skate, so stop being triggered by things you don't even care about and get the fuck out of this thread and straight into a noose.

>>216140>change a car batterygo skate you fucking loser
>change to new wheels>frontside flips come back instantlywhat the fuck>>216106if you skate tranny you're just kind of inherently riding switch half the time anyway. like 90% percent of good switch game just comes from riding though. before my dog got too old whenever i'd take her on walks i'd skate switch the whole time just cruising around the neighborhood. now when i go to the grocery/grab a coffee/ do errands etc i ride switch. if you don't want to be that autistic about it you could do more 180 lines and verso shit or do what snowboarders do and pick a day of the week as switch day. also do more fakie manuals.
>>216118>you can't define punk: the post
>>216118The poster to whom you are replying is legitimately wondering why this thread is seemingly full of people who hate skateboarding as is and you get triggered by that question. Apparently, you enjoy the confusion spread by trolls because you feel insecure about something. >skate culture is irrelevant/ it's fucking notTell that to advertisers, ekin, clothes manufacturers and and the millions of people who skate.>I just enjoy skating. You either skate or you don't and anything else is just your personal preference.I absolutely agree. So then why do you dismiss skate culture? The only thing standing between athletics and actual skateboarding? >these very threads are dumb shit ideas cause there's fuck all of importance to discuss in skateboarding.Then why do you come here?
>>216118this kills the homoposter

i fucking hate skateboarding btw.

>>216317Baby gaps (like over a parking curb or a flatground gap like a storm grate), into or off of kickers.I don't gap down anything bigger than a four set these days because I'm 30+ and unsponsored yeeeeee
>>216317pyramids are awesome for learning 180,270 and 360 flips tricks
>>216301I can tre flip every try thougbeit
>>216317>all of above?literally yeah, once you can kickflip reliably you should be kickflipping everything you can, practice makes perfect or whateverwe got some amazing drops this month fucking polar, nb, gx1000, nocomply/thrasher and I came across this japanese (?) gem earlier today I wanted to sharehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Faq-kRqqks
>>216301i still can't do tre flip mannys thoughever>>216317start doing them into manny pads, ledges & flatbars. for going down stuff grass gaps are pretty good and especially if you have a cherry park style gazebo spot
>>216301I can tre consistently but the rotation is kinda ugly. I make up for it by having a sick hardflip tho
treflips are just pressure flips
loosen your trucks
Jamie Foy sucks, soulless rb hat wearer.
>>216400His skill is fucking insane, but yeah he's loaded up with all the soulless corpo sponsors. Really bummed me out how neutered the music was for his Intervals part, the tricks were great but the music just insanely tasteless and misplaced.That's where the $$$ is I guess.
>>216400He's going to reveal his hairline on the cover of Thrasher when he wins SotY this year
>>216406>neutered the music wasTom Petty is a legend, you're tripping.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lWJXDG2i0A&t=139sWhy the fuck would he not wear a red bull cap? Life changing money for some logo? Not like energy drinks are actively robbing other skate brands (like NB..)
>>216406Music in a part can be hit or miss, I don't like athleticism in my skateboarding.
>>216437but you have to be somewhat athletic to make anything look good on a skateboard
>>216438Franky Villani would beg to differ but his fat ass does bug me
>>216438Indeed, but striving to show you can do the longest, highest and most dangerous is not what skateboarding is about snd never was.
>>216471the main problem with jock skating is that it is often low IQ, theses are not smart people jumping down big shit for obvious reasons
>>216471It has always been about progression. For surfers, biggest waves, longest waves, most gnarly.. this translated to skating from day one.https://youtu.be/wJFqNC-MBtI
>>216477>we can skate a pool>BUT CAN YOU SKATE A BIGGER POOL? HUHUH,HA>Natas: "what if I actually ollied not beyond the handrail, or hippy jumped, what if I ollied...onto the rail...and kept the momentum...use it like coping?">BUT CAN YOU DO THE SAME ON THIS LONGER RAIL? HUHUH, HA
>>216477Sometimes it makes sense to go for the longest, highest,most dangerous. Not all of the times.
>>216484esl posting to the max>>216471>>216472noobs mad theres things they'll never even be able to attempt to do
I want to build a dedicated transition board for bowl skating. should i get a old school shape , pill shape, egg shape? am open to suggestions, so far im leaning towards a shape like the anti hero blue meanie.
>>216492>anti hero blue meanieI mean that looks great, mostly you just want a bigger board to more easily stay on the thing but I also know people who can skate tranny good on a 8.25. Shape is more about your preference in looks/style imo. I dont think theres any advantage to have an old school noseless deck youll just stand out a bit more.
MY KICKFLIP DOWN THE LOCAL FOUR STAIR IS JUST AS VALID AS BACHINSKY'S KICKFLIP DOWN EL TORO RRRRREEEEEEE
>>216495if these noobs and old heads aren't crying about how they can't kickflip they're crying about how other people can kickflip too well. big time jelly. big time "why isnt my local park ripper sponsored, he's just as good as any pro" energy too

>>215829/ourgirl/ finally dropped a street part>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZSX2D-F06A
the first female skate part to ever come close to marisa dal santo strange world part, maybe even better?
>>216544>>216546Yeah, big time agree. Dal Santo's Strange World part was the only female part to ever actually impress me or for me to enjoy watching, MOMIJI looks really good here too. The style is there 100%, just looks natural and good on board. Trick variety and legit spots, lots of switch.Damn bruh.
>>216537I read it when I looked up her posts when they were referenced last thread
this is alexis sablone erasure
Man, for like a month now I've been trying to figure out a way to cram a mini ramp into my house, my garage, or even try to extend my patio and build one there. I wanted it to be under cover/insulated so I could skate it when the weather is shit. The height is the main issue though, even if I put it on the patio I'm limited by my shitty 8' roof since I'd need the patio cover under it to allow water to run off. So that'd be a 2' tall miniramp at most for clearance.Have never been more jealous of 10'+ ceiling chads.

>>216633Eh...
>>216633The first and last parts were fucking sick. Seems to go pro for zero you must take a full blown rail sacking.>jock skatingYou realise the rest of the world doesnt give a fuck about gay clique shit?>hes a jock>hes a nerd>hes a hipster>hes a goth>hes a queer>hes a xyztotal brainwahed faggotry..
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3LfXjc5GK4a nice palate cleanser
>>216680No, no, no, forget the naming convention, you know what it means.
>>216679My reaction too. Extremely weak intro parts.Zero still has some really good riders but they've gradually lost their edge since Damn it All in more than one way.
>>216633feels like a shop video
GOD DAMN:Braden Hoban - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94tvA0K6QPY
>>216633meh>>216686>>216702hell yeah
>>216633Everyone has said it but the first two parts were so un-zero that it really threw me off, then i read somewhere that those two guys are the filmer and photog for the brand.
>>216717i thought it was an AM video at first and stopped watching it after i noticed the lack of big rail skating. had to come back to it a day later to watch the rest, the crispy clear fisheye footy switching between the lower resolution long lens is so annoying. it's a bit of a mess.
>>216719yeah for sure. it's probably the worst zero video i've ever seen. when the minor threat song came on at the start i got pumped up thinking it was the modern new blood but then the skating started and i was like oh god. slappies and quirky hand plant tricks do not belong in a zero vid.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT5PUbKKsRctake me back
Kanaans final rail and bam celebrating was enough for me to look over the rest. I liked the first part because he took heavy slams for the dumbest tricks, idk why you'd want to skate like that but its pretty entertaining imo. No hip hop either.
>>216722That being the very last trick of the video, and the ender for Kanaan was actually icing on the cake for me to acknowledge that the Zero of old is good and dead. Bam has never had a thing to do with Zero, I know the Dern bros recently collabed with him but them shoe-horning a washed up celebrity into the video on the last trick just says a lot about how commercialized Zero has gotten.I miss Zero before they were doing lame collabs (not the Misfits one, that one makes sense and is kind of sick), or Jamie always advertising the "rare hand screened" boards or one-off limited run bullshit, etc.
>>216727Fair.Hobans skating was sick but I couldn't shake the weird feeling of watching a RockStar Energy Drink™ video part.
>>216738and who even drinks rock star? i have never seen anything other than monster, redbull and prime at my locals
in my 29 years on this earth I have never seen someone buy or drink a rockstar. I have however gotten lots of free redbulls and monsters from various events tho. Sometimes they literally just park cars downtown and hand out free drinks on a random weekday. shits awesome.
it brick tits out now and i think i rather wait till spring to skate than step foot inside my local indoor park where the biggest faggots are there every single day like clock work with their faggy little gorilla grip tripod trying to get clips for their corny ass instagram and whack as fuck local brand they skate for, everyone needs to fucking die i hate this place so much it's unreal
It feels good to come home again after sweating your butt off and in one piece.
>>216633>>216720minor threat was kino, and I liked that video>>216722>>216727also shoutout dern and dern's shoutouts iykyk
Braden Hoban did 50-50 to backlip on the rail to ledge that Kanaan 50-50d to roll on top of ledge. That's a brutal mogging. Almost insulting due to how closely the clips were released.
>>216773For anyone who gives a shit it's 5:07 in the Braden Hoban vid and 12:15 in the zero vid
any diy anons in this thread? i need some tips
when you're mixing concrete by hand for a steep quarterpipe what is the best way to stack it once it starts getting close to vertical? just mix it super dry?
>>216773Yeah but kanaan didnt have a RockStar Energy Drink™ patch on his sleeve
>>216777wet the surface you are going to apply it
i wonder why pro skaters never get big in snowboarding, i feel like it would be easy as fuck to mog a terrain park if you are used to skating street
>>216815>i wonder why pro skaters never get big in snowboardingsnowboarding is fucking expensive dude
>>216815Carryover from skating to snowboarding is not 1:1.Shaun White is the closest example of what you're describing.
>>216822shaun white transitioned to skating so well he won gold at the x games and got a fucking video game. he also has one of the funniest news clip of all time imo. im talkin mtn dews baby lolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-1D_MJzsNU
>>216815I have never seen Kelly Slater do a tre flip on land or water, just sayin..
>>216827surfboarders still cant tre flip but apparently some dudes havent gotten close which is pretty crazy.
>>216815https://youtu.be/EJxGYLFi-A8
illl never understand the deathwish aesthetic
>>216837like from an art perspective or the style of gnarly skating that is on brand for them? their designs are boring as hell zumiez tier shit but i expect nothing less from a baker sub brand
Anyone ever deal with a back issue while skating? I'm like 95% sure I have a bulging disk. It's not from skating, pretty sure just really bad posture for a long period of time put me in a compromised position, then something finally let go a couple weeks ago when I took an awkward stumble.I'm trying to rehab it through basic mobility and workouts. What's really frustrating is after 2-3 days I'll feel almost perfect again, go out skating, and all it takes is one awkward shift or lean for me to throw my fucking back out again. Pretty sure the solution is just to stay off the board a bit until it's fully recovered, but again shit's just fucking annoying because I'll feel ok then go out and fuck it up again. Just wondering if anyone's had a similar issue and how long it took to recover. Don't slouch in your chairs bros.
>>216856yes it's been 20 years
>>216857
>>216856I had them last year and quite intensely too. Shit's awful. Gotta strengthen your legs, but and core buddy boy.I liked the House vid which somebody posted. What crew is this? I want to live like that.
>>216838how can you have a team of guys who are half energy drink and half hesh and then theres neen whos a one trick pony show
>>216876my only explanation for an weird team like that must be mutuals friends or they all know a guy
new zero vid is a stinker but this is by far one of the best parts this year no contest>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KZEyDDDCrQ&t=2smade me want to skate and gave me hope for the future

>>216827I've never seen a surfer get barreled just sayin
>>216879Soty part. Berles didn't live up to his Gravis part.>>216890>surferskater? picrel..The joke was that skating and snowboard are quite different like surfing and skating. 10-20 years ago Volcom had a 10k bounty for the first person to land a kickflip on a surfboard.
>>216815cardiel niggerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDZyZ1Uq_TMalso sascha daley is a pro snowboarder now apparently
am i allowed to wear ipaths if i dont smoke weed?
>>216876The brand just lost the initial vision. Which was basically like a breakaway ultra hesh version of baker. You have to watch the original baker has a deathwish vid to understand. Skating is weird now. It used to be full of freaks like Greco and boulala but now it's just>Wannabe san Francisco thrasher types eg Pedro delfino, Elijah berle >Energy drink skaters eg Jamie foy or Braden hoban>Anti-fashion quirky skaters eg Chris millic or max palmerUsed to be so much more individualism in skating.
Berle is like a normal guy who should probably have been a college athlete but somehow found himself as a pro skater and he desperately wants to look like a skateboarder but it just seems off
Emile Laurent should be soty and it's not even close
Emile Laurent skates like someone who has never seen a skate video or even seen another person skate but they've read books about skateboarding and skateboarding tricks.
>>216815being good at skating will help you ride a snowboard if you've never done it before but with the exception of a board slide skating and snowboarding are not even close to the same thing.
>>216905i agree with the first half but not the second, he skates like someone that's only ever seen skating irl
Emile Laurent is from The Shire
>jock skating
Elliot Sloan and Braden Hoban are my skaters of the year because in my opinion they put out the best skate parts of the year.
For me it's Larb Vomit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBaJ3wP5kg8
>>216929t. low IQ ollie guy
>>216934imagine self identifying with that guy in the pic and getting triggered

i bet chris millic has a hugeeeeee dong
I am watching the Josh Kalis 9 club. Cringing
>>216941I fell asleep watching it, what are you cringing at zoomie?
>>216931For me it's Hoban, Foy, and Jhanka.Between the three I actually like Jhanka the most, but on skill level alone and footage volume probably either Foy or Hoban.I also really like Sloan but I don't think he put out enough volume to compete.
>>216944>zoomieI am probably older than you.Kalis is the real person who inspired Fred Durst lmaoIt's so obvious how bitter he is about his teenage years and especially how exotic he sees black culture as and how deeply racist he is, overcompensating by playing the white hip-hop guy. Like Frog from the Wire. You know he had posted against the dnc nominee in some Philadelphia elections, right? And did you see how incensed he was about the clip of his daughter being used in a dnc campaign video? And I bet it's not because he thinks a centre-left pole of power sold out the unions...
>>216956Holy fuck go back to plebbit, you fucking faggot.
>>216971Seethe, opinionlet
I haven't watched a single nine club, am I missing anything of value?
>>216983Honestly yes, some of them are amazing. Not all of them but some of them. The Jeff grosso episode is probably my favorite to this day.
>>216956lmao what the fuck, the psyche of a wigger is truly hilarious
>>216956not liking the dnc doesn't make you racist though...trusting the government at all and being pro establishment is cucked
I only like skaters who listen to Metal.

>>216956>especially how exotic he sees black culture as and how deeply racist he isHoly fuck don't go back to *eddit or Slap, just kill yourself instead. Such faggot behavior.I bet you also think we should retroactively cancel Corey Duffel.>>216983Yeah some of the interviews are pretty interesting.
>>216983it entirely depends on the quality of the guest
>>216984Mine is the Jamie Thomas, Mike V and a third which I forget.
>>216999>I bet you also think we should retroactively cancel Corey Duffel.You would lose your money and you sound incensed
>>216992It is his whole personality that oozes that, read my post again.
>>217011>incenseddid you just learn this word?>>217012i wouldn't want my child used as a pawn in a commercial full of lies either. anyways, he probably has wokeism fatigue now. the gen x mind has no defense against egregores and online psychological warfare. they are mad retarded.
Why is jock skating the best skating?
>>217026so true bro, nyjah looks so hot in his athletic shorts
big day for jock skaters>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjNqj-Hjo_g
>>217026cause limp wrists with no pop seethe at athletes - I'm actually so bored when I see people kickflipping an inch above the ground.
>>216956I didnt think a grown man would use the word cringe but now it makes sense
>>217033Hit too close to home?
>>217034no you're just extremely gay, I wish Kalis was racist
>>217035Wow, now you mashed my face. Are yku going to call me a girl next?

Who's the most Metal Jock skater?
>>217060I started watching it because of this post, and I couldn't look away. Great video. Now I'm going skating. Jake Johnson and Andrew Reynolds shared part was sick. Might be one of the best videos this year

>>217111I really dislike when they fuck with security guards like that. Especially the ones who are just trying to do their job while not getting physical. More annoying than shitty cyclists.
>>217113shut up and go lick a boot and suck some security guard dick you fuck ass pussy
>>217114Whoa we gotta tough guy over here.
>>217113Nah, security pays like shit. he should have just let them finish what they were doing instead of taking his rent-a-cop position so seriouslyYou probably only skate park
>>217113Same and I think it's embarrassing to be a grown ass man giving another adult a hard time who is trying to do their job so you can ride your gay little skateboard.
>>217113>>217129Yep. If a security guard has an attitude right off the bat, gets in your face, kicks your board around, etc - Have a fucking blast. But if they're chill don't fucking antagonize them with "one more try" bullshit after they say no.Go back and hit the spot after dark or when the shift changes in that case.
and the pro skater isnt just trying to do their job? faggot shit. focus your board and go join the skaters over 30 facebook group or go to fucking reddit with the other faggot nerds. security guard is an embarrassing ass job. you have to go to school and your pretty much still only getting paid minimum wage. wanna be cop job for people who wanna act tough or cary weapons but are too fucking stupid or fat or have too much of a record to be a real cop. imagine wanting to defend property lmao.
>>217134dudes like you blow my mind, do you not understand how childish and corny the average skateboarder comes across? you have zero self awareness. you look like a fucking dweeb playing on an actual children's toy and taking it so serious that you deluded yourself into justifying being an annoying entitled faggot about it.
>>217095Kek
>>217127What does it paying like shit have to do with anything? It's still the man's job. He still needs that job to have a roof over his head and food on the table. If he doesn't do his job then he'll get fired. I don't know how this is so confusing for you dumb ass kids. You must still live at home with mommy and daddy.
>>217134You're still young so you don't realize that 'pro skater' is an even shittier job than security guard, especially if you ride for sk8mafia lol.
>>217143Pro for MysteryPart time Home Depot(I'm not even hating that's just the reality for the vast majority of pros)

>>217170>the 40 yr old zoomielol go fuck yourself and take the insecure asshole with you, you both clearly have issues that don't involve skateboarding
There seems to be a distinct lack of sponsorships for female skaters unless they're on par with the average male pro skater skill wise.This pleases me.
>>217187who cares, skateboarding is gay faggot shit.
>>217192Touche'
Some diy activities this morning
Honestly doing diy stuff is way harder than i imagined. The concrete just wants to fall down.
>>217204>>217205pretty sick. I can only imagine how else to do it. Maybe some rebar or some wood inside to keep it up. I have no idea how concrete works.
>>217207Thanks, I have actually done a decent amount of professional concrete work but when it's flat it's a whole different animal, when it's an almost vertical thing like that ramp it has to be mixed very dry and it just wants to fall off or sag down and create big kinks in the ramp. Now I understand why so much diy stuff is kinked at the bottom. It's basically impossible to not have that unless you have a professional shotcrete setup like the pros do. But this ramp will be fine, it's smooth enough.
>>217204hell yeah, looks excellent.
>finally getting heelflips down
>>217163based>>217142>>217143Defending uppity security guards is such kooky behavior. Their job is to ask them to leave. If they don't leave then they can call the cops. Its that simple. You faggots probably barely skateYou're the type of dudes that comment under skate videos like "I've been skating for 20 years and I'm 30+ years old. Here's my completely disconnected opinion on skate culture". As if anyone gives a fuck what some overweight old head thinks
Can I be a 30 yr old skater and not catch strays for one day pls would be nice
>>217211My best heelflips somehow always seem to be when I put them on ice for 2+ months, then bust one out randomly in a line.Then I'm like, "Wow, heelflips are cool I should do more" and the next 5 will be trash.
>>217213>You faggots probably barely skatePost a line fag

For me it's coming across random skate vids from years ago on jewtube that have female nudity in them.Talk about based.
>>217253the skate milf who runs the shop around here is still really pretty. bitch got me to pay 60 dollars for wheels and im not even mad
>>217261I remember that song was the theme song in an edition of /esg/Damn that should have been five years ago
>>217204Didn't they film a One In A Million there?
>>217214kek, it's just a troll
>>217274Running something like a classic Pre-Viceland KOTR would get people "cancelled" so fucking fast these days.
>>217204>>217208You didn't make it easier on yourself either, this is a very vertical ramp for its sizebut good on you anon. What kind of place even is that btw? Is that your property or some middle of nowhere place where you don't get bothered?
>>217290It's just a local diy spot, kinda hidden away so no one really goes there except skaters and sometimes tweakers. During COVID some guys built the other transitions and then a bunch of kids tried to do some little things. No one had built anything here in ages so I decided to try and make something. The cops actually randomly walked by while I was building it and they were cool, they were like 'are you just building this out of your own money?' and I was like 'yeah' and they were like 'damn that's crazy'. The spot is right near where a bunch of tweakers camp out and I think they have been trying to clean the area up so I guess it's nice to know that they are around and don't care about us building and skating this spot.
shout out the anons who have rolled their ankles and are being patient by staying off the board to recover properly. this shit takes master levels of willpower, especially in the final 2 weeks when you feel like you can actually skate, but would be more prone to injury again. My big find for ankle recovery is after you have let it rest for about 4 weeks, kneel-sit japanese style with the tops of your feet flat against the floor and gently lower your weight onto your heels and sit there for a few mins. stretches the ankles out amazingly and makes it feel 10x better the next day.
>>215829Besides NYC and LA/California what other places have good skate scenes in the US?
>>217355also shout out to the anons who didn't do that shit and now their achillies slips when they bend at the knee and that inevitably rupture feels like it could occur at any moment, so shout out me..
>>217358idk USA geography but i always liked philly scene, florida seems cool and the appalachian (?) type dudes all seem cool. Hawaii skate/surf seen is sick. NYC seems cool but too gay and LA always looked like somewhere I'd never want to be.
>>217355I've been fairly fortunate with ankle injuries, minus once tearing ligament. Currently dealing with what you're describing with my back though, I compressed/blew out a disk a few weeks ago and it will "feel fine" until I start skating again. I've already re-injured it once, went a week cold and thought it was enough, felt fine then leaned awkwardly on a switch 180 and threw it out again.Fucking REEEEEE. Although I'm once again on the recovery, baby steps.RREEEEE.
>>217355that's what got me to finally learn slappies
>>217358Portland Oregon has a pretty big scene.
>>217382It's a shit hole though.
>>217388Yeah.
What about worldwide skate cities? Besides Barcelona I dont know many..
>>217369>my backhad fucking sciatica for about a year from slamming hard coming off a steep quarter pipe. The thing that made it feel better for me was pic related and a few other back strengthening/stretching exercises I can share if you want. Once I started doing them, recovery happened a lot quicker and now I only get the slightest bit of discomfort maybe once a month, if at all, and I just do pic related for like 30 seconds and it sorts me out for weeks.
>>217394Thanks man - I've been doing things similar to picrel to rehab it, and various back/abdominal/hip workouts. Definitely improving, I'm just impatient.Cat-Cow stretches, light weight romanian deadlifts focusing on range of motion, and general ab work.What's lame is I'm pretty sure what put me in a compromised position for this to happen in the first place was just dog shit sitting posture all day for months on end at my office desk lol.
>>217398>dog shit sitting posture all day for months on end bane of my existence

First sesh on the diy spot today after work, the concrete is still pretty green so I just did rock n rolls, so fun
Any tips for pushing? I can balance on ther board with one foot, put I can't put the back foot back on the board.Also, are skate shoes necessary, or can I use a normal sneaker?
>>217427Did you try it for more than 5 mins?
are there any companies making insoles similar to the emerica g6 ones?
>>217423Even just rocking on that transition is pretty gnarly, good work man.
I have a bad habit of stomping my feet on the ground when losing my balance.Stomped my heel to the ground and now I can't put weight on it. No rest pain and I can walk almost normally.Maybe I should get more cushioned shoes.Using vans sized 41.Any recommendations?
>>217427I started with normal walking shoes.Repetition.Once you start to learn trick, step on board like you would be pushing.
>>217463Aftermarket insoles are a meme. Footprint is an outright scam.Vans Popcush are perfectly fine insoles. As are what come stock in Fallen, LRAB, Es, Emerica, etc.Either try cupsoles instead of vulcs (if you're not already) or learn to stop stomping pavement.>>217468>Deedz in the finals but Jhanka droppedFucking joke
https://www.thrashermagazine.com/articles/videos/the-blokes-2-video/#more-videosVideo of the year just dropped. I don’t give a fuck if it’s only like 17% skateboarding. Production value is insanely good and the skits are top tier
>>217355>break my ankle>have pins put in to fix it>recovery time 6 months>finally back on the board>feeling good again>half a year later pic related happensFuck my life. Remind me to stop stomping the shit out of my tricks
>>217473>it’s only like 17% skateboardingThen it shouldn't be on Thrasher.Really cool how the trend with new skaters is to not actually skate and just make dog shit edits with Microsoft Movie Maker tier effects.
>>217477>no fun, not everThere’s room in the industry for both robots doing technically brilliant (but soulless) shit, and retarded degenerates doing dumb gnarly shit because it’s funny. If you can’t appreciate the latter then I’m afraid you’re just sorely out of touch with what makes skate culture so unique
>>217478>corpo slop bad>repetitive low effort slop from randoms goodBoth are shit.
>>217479Enjoy being miserable hating everything I guess. If you need me I’ll be doing massive acid drops on your nan
>>217468>no blacks or girlsUhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh EXCUSE ME????
>>217477Just watch it like it's a CKY video.
>>217473I don't know why this anon said there's only 17% of skating; I'm halfway through and it's been almost nothing but skateboarding with some random silliness sprinkled in. It actually does feel like watching a limey version of CKY, but more focused on skating.
>>217487Eh, I guess it felt like that to me because so much time and effort was put into the skits. I will say that there’s a lot of bails included, but I guess that just adds to the gnar
>>217481tiago is right there
>>217473Give that bald cunt soty
>>217470Learning to not stomp.I get new shoes once old ones are a bit more worn out.
which way western man?
>>217487You fucking liar, it's completely the opposite. Nothing but random silliness with bits of skateboarding sprinkled in, 17% is probably a fair estimate. It's also all british Gen X humour and references so it's clearly aimed at that crowd. Not for me. Made it 10mins in before bailing. My local does the exact same thing, but on a much smaller scale (and budget), complete with gen x humour and references. They either don't know how or don't even attempt to try and appeal to gen z on their social media. It's so obvious that jackass and dirty sanchez changed these peoples lives and they have never grown out of it.
>>217504How the fuck was that jackass or dirty sanchez related just good lads having a good time you zoomies are soft cocks with bad historically inaccurate takes
>>217504>They either don't know how or don't even attempt to try and appeal to gen z on their social mediaImagine not seeing that this is actually based as fuck. It’s not like they need to pander anyways, they have an incredibly strong cult following here in the UK. I can understand that a lot of the references won’t hit across the pond, but ngl this made me proud to be British.
>>217506>Imagine not seeing that this is actually based as fuck.based i will watch it now just because of that, gen z trends in skate vids is the worst shit to grace a screen.>shitty emo music>ride on grinds>capri pants
Emile Laurent is my soty, I had to look up the footage of this guy, but yeah.Otherwise I'm pickin Foy.
>>217506fuck the zoom zooms im tuning in
>>217473the absolute state
>>217516BasedEmile Laurent is the truth of skateboarding
>>217504>Made it 10mins in before bailingSo you didn't watch the whole thing then, you fucking retard. It's pretty much 50/50 between actual skateboarding and silly shit.
blokes video is GOOD
these blokes are unhinged
Skateboarding is for White People.
old man gap skating(5 stair)
>>217532>It's pretty much 50/50 between actual skateboarding and silly shit.I fucking dare you to time the skating segments and compare against anything non-skating related and post the pie chart split here. Keep in mind the first time a skateboard even shows up is around the 4:20 mark.

>>217392Bordeaux, Lyon>>217394Abso fucking lutely
>>217423Sick shit, satanic black magic
>>217506Freshen your drink guv'na? Have a wee crumpet with the tea?
>>217554Lol it's definitely less skating than random shit but it's honestly worth it for how psycho those cunts are.
>>217554Ok Grimey
>>217566It's just CKY: Limey Edition. Such a ridiculous thing to for that faggot anon to get triggered over.
Jamie Foy sucks. He skates exactly the same way as every other pro, but he's slightly better than them. That's it. So boring.
I am not pulling out a stop watch but that attention span deficit zoomie is definitely wrong, there was plenty of skating after the intro skit (which reminded me a little of the skate game introhttps://youtu.be/Eklrb70uqbo)
>>217577
>>217577uppy downy rail
berlesisters i dont feel so good
foy is good and probably deserved the soty just as much as anyone this year i guess but the whole thing just feels lame, even lamer than last year
>>217611yeah it's too strategic now with the rapid fire release of footage at the end of the year and pandering to trasher makes it seem less about the skater who had the best year and more about who gave thrashers the most clicks and covers and it's been like this for a while... since 2020 the pandering to thrasher has been obvious
>>217614SOTY should be the dude who blew up this year and announced himself.. Phelps would have called this nonsense out while Burnett thinks it's great marketing..Aus SOTY went woke too so everything is tits up in the shiney trophy awards this year.
woke dei skateboarder jamie foy
sls helmet era approaching
>>217618>Aus SOTYWat
>>217650https://youtu.be/xgfN2oCz-rI
Not the biggest fan of Foy but he's a lot better than the Miles Silvas pick last year, that guy fucking sucks

Is it cringe to start at 21 y/o ?
>>217658its cringe to care, go skate
>>217658Afraid so.
>>217659>>217660pick one anon
>>217656whack.
>>217658no, you could be decent in a few years and maybe even good by 26
>>217667skip to last section then
>>217658it's more cringe not to start
>>217655i completely forgot miles silvas existed lmao
>>217658yepit's less cringe to sit at home and do nothing instead
>>217658Do it, but my advice would be to meet other people who skate, you'll progress a lot faster that way
https://youtu.be/ynIAEp1g9Vk
>>217658I started at 27.
if deedz wins im over it, foy has real skill and it's undeniable, how can they rob us like this
>>217736foy has already won retard
>>217751too easy
>>217732The problem with Hawaii is that it's full of Hawaiians.
Big skater girl tiddies.
>>217791nice
>>217787and japs
>>217676hes the most forgettable great skater i hate becase his name is so close to mason silvadeedz deserves it the the most im quitting skateboarding if elijah berle wins
>>217839I think deedz got the nod because they realised they fucked him previous years. Bit like a Louie Lopez situation.
>>217839>>217846ride on grinds are lame im having a crisis watching it
>>217839And how about Tiago Lemos and Tiago Lopez?
i have decided that i am just going to be super friendly to all the local cool guys until they crack and stop cool guying me. i've also realised that a lot of 'cool guys' are actually just super awkward and don't know how to socialize like a normal person lol
>>217839>mason silvaevery time I see a clip with some guy in black clothes with a black buzzcut i'm like 'is this mason silva??'. happens more than you'd think. then when I actually see mason silva i'm like 'oh shit, matt skiba skates?'.
>>217873my local cool guy only wears cargo pants and the first time i saw him i assumed he smoked meth and was a pan handler. he can ollie really high though (crack head activities)
i keep fucking up my front 50s and the homeless people are judging me super hard
>>217879little pop dicklet detected
>>217879>he can ollie really high though (crack head activities)explain your thoughts behind why popping high ollies is crackhead-like behaviour.
>>217898It’s like a weird little talent a crack head would try to impress you with for money.
Today the skatepark was toddler town, looks like 100 parks with sliders and stuff per skatepark is not enough for some parents.
>>217879What a bizarre seethe/cope post.
>>217910Not really, all I’m saying is they are right and don’t judge a book by its cover.
>>217908Lmao
the crackheads around my way are always going somewhere fast and have a hop in their step, could definitely see them busting high ollies.
>>217917could be me
>>217908>>217917Where the fuck you have these fiends aren't trying to shiv you whilst barely looking alive, let alone athletic and not completely gaunt
why aren't you crackmaxxing bros
