Just fucking noticed this shit after coming home.
No pain at all, no limited movement of the joints. I'm trying to feel it and legit can't tell if it's a bone or just super hard swelling.
Should i go to the hospital and get it checked out? I'm working nightshift in two hours.

If it doesn't hurt that bad, I would just ice it and see how it develops. Maybe bring an ice pack to your shift if you can

Poor baby. Hope it’s nothing serious

has anyone sat down and tracked the development of skateboard shape and wheel size? I've kinda done a bit of research into it but don't really want to deep dive it if someone else already has.

>>246321

>>246322
There's a bunch of youtube videos with brand and shape/size evolution thtoughout the years.

>>246325
wheels too? most of what I've seen groups all of the 90s together, even though there is a very clear change in board shape in around 1992-1993 where they went from the 9+ inch egg monsters down to ~8 inch popsicles. and going into the late 90s they were getting as small as 7½. 1991 was when the miniwheel revolution happened, shrinking from 66 to 44 and below practically overnight, then pretty quickly going back up to the 50s by 1994 and staying there for the rest of the decade.

>>246322

I do not understand mongo in the fucking slightest
It's like the trademark "easy" way to push that like everyone ends up starting doing, beginners who never touched a board can push mongo immediately and simply.. but I cannot at all. I cannot do mongo in either stance. It's impossible. I completely get thrown off the board, I can't even get my pushing foot on it. It's insane.

I realise I never had backside ollies down. When I am really warmed up I can land 1 in ten. In my head, it is a registered trick. I think it is worth learning and furthermore, generally, it is worth getting down the techniques down for the tricks you want, so that the only thing you will need to worry about is warming up next session.

It's like catching a kickflip in the air vs letting it land on the ground and then landing on the board.

>>246992
Yeah but why can't i commit to the actual landing if i can spin both on lock.

>>246995
>bs shove it requires pop
..?

>>246989
board comes forward under your feet in the same direction you're riding. the same reason why half cabs are ez.
desu with shuvs though you probably just need to pop more and shuv less

I just pulled a single 10 inch hair from my back, I wonder if this gives me powers

>>246996
Landing tricks is about how you set up to make the trip happen. To set up for a nollie shuv all your weight is over your front leg and it is minimal effort and movement to spin, for a bs shuv it is much more complex and thus, when landing your body is more off balance.

I have an 8.3 at the moment, it's ok.

anything under 8.25 is mega old head status

>>247079
I use to skate 7.75 and 8. However I just got two 10 inch decks recently

>>247079
8.25 but I've only ever ridden 8.25, I've heard 8.75 is a bit easier to control while being a bit heavier, that so?

Just practiced some basic boardslides because i found a small rail for a beginner like me

Any tips? Do you actually need to stand on the board and preserve the balance?
I could do like a basic hop into the neat end of the rail and then I would automatically slide off
Don’t know if that even counts as a board slide

>>247157
I was always between 8-8,25, but I recently got a 8.38 (mainly because of length).

>>247174
That's a "kiss the rail". Everybody begins that way. When I am warmed up, because I always tend to rotate backside when I am in whatever slide or grind, if I get into a boardslide (which is always backside by definition, otherwise it's a frontside boardslide) my shoulders/upper body rotates that way so that I end up exiting regular. So my advice is once the noard makes contact be aware of your upper body rotation.

>>247174
>Do you actually need to stand on the board and preserve the balance?
well yeah....

>>247175
I remember as a kid somebody in my neighbourhood had stolen a flatbar from a local skatepark, and it was low enough you could ride onto it from a kerb. me and a couple of my friends learnt how to balance on that by just riding our trucks and deck onto it.

>>247176
>>247175
What’s the key for staying on top and balanced while the board goes forward

Like how do you make your body go forward without slipping

>>247184
Momentum, keep track of your shifting weight
That's 95 percent of skateboarding, the rest is the balls and anal retentiveness to keep track of your feet from slipping when doing tricks
Also WEAR GEAR or you are a real faggot. Cool kids wear gear, the rest are waiting to become quadriplegic one day

Do you guys do anything unique with your grip tape or just put it on like normal? I just got a this old school shape 10 inch deck and I’m probably going to just cover it completely with grip tape but part of me is considering not covering the logo or doing a design

>>247390
back then the typical board size was 775 or 8. some guys were riding 75s. total rejection of the 80s/early 90s bigfoot boards, trying to find any competitive edge on the street. boards didn't start getting wider again until the mid 2000s. You couldn't even get boards bigger than 825 before like 2013 without ordering special, I know because I actually skated back then and the biggest I ever saw on regular skate shop shelves was 825. and nobody I knew rode bigger than an 8.
in fact, I've got a couple of my old boards sitting around in my garage and I went and measured them and all of them are either 775 or 8.

>>247394
NTA but I can go find old mags with 8.5 boards if you want. 7.5 was the predominant size where I am. 8" was wide but we were young. One of my friends has the red Muska Silhouette which from memory only came in 8". I landed my first kickflip on it. But 8.5 was like a 9.5 today.

Crazy to think that small children weren't buying 8.5s. To say they weren't around is not accurate. The east coast pros from that time frame were all well known for skating huge boards with giant wheels and so did every other guy who was trying to emulate them.

Not at all. They can vary wildly in terms of flick and overall dimensions. For example, when I skated half cabs I had god tier kickflips, but my tre flips suffered

never been to their site because of their reputation aka shit i've heard people talk, but i might have to snag their ramp and rail set for my fingerboards

I want to learn ollie's soon and I aspire to do one like Mitchie does. All of his pops are fucking insane. They're so... Clean? They're so perfect looking. So smooth and high and stable and literally I've never seen anyone pop their board or do an Ollie like he does. What the hell???

There are tricks that I could do at 13 that I can't wrap my head around at 30, rock to fakie is one of them, I'd rather do a nose stall or a fs rock'n'roll before trying it. Somehow I'm more confident (and successful) in throwing fs flips than bs 180s. The skateboard is a fickle mistress.

There was a big ass rat trapped in one of the bowls at my local and these kids scooped it out in a traffic cone. They set the cone near the sidewalk and the rat refused to come out.

I pity all the fags who are too scared to use skate trainers. I literally learned all my tricks on these before I could even push properly. Before I even went to a skatepark even. I could triple kickflip before I could do a simple revert on a small quarter. All thanks to these. Eventually I took them to the skatepark with me and I used to get called names all the time, but it didn't last long once I cast them aside (like piccolo taking off his weighted cape) and proceeded to pop the fattest ollie in the middle of the park. Best day of my life, I left cause everyone was just staring in disbelief (one person even clapped). I'll go back and do it moving next time and they will shit themselves for sure.

They may or may not be in business at the moment. The older models were hilariously bad. They literally would not turn. Even Mullen said in an interview they were not designed for that, and if you wanted a turny truck an Indy would be better.

I did not realize how physically demanding this was considering how most skaters present themselves.

>>247982
Oh yeah, skateboard fucking kills you when you start. It honestly gets better with time - not only because you develop better cardio and endurance, but also just because better skate technique means less wasted efforts.

I took it up about a year ago and every session wrecked me for several days, but that was because as a beginner everything I was doing was slightly wrong.

I popped every ollie super fucking hard even if I only needed to get up a tiny curb, I got speed only by pushing because I was scared of dropping from the bigger ramps, and then I'd lose that speed on every bank because I wasn't pumping optimally, etc.

Also, you know, take pauses between attempts at a trick. It took me so long to realize that if I failed something, I shouldn't just get back on my board right then, push all the way back up to the ramp and then drop right away to try it again. Taking five or ten seconds to breathe between attempts seriously adds up over a two hours session.

vulcanised shoes are a meme created to make you waste more money on shoes when the ones you buy crap out in less than a month
>b-but muh board feel!!!
a meme

>>248010
I never understood the board feel meme either. Its a giant fucking right angle I need to grind down over sessions just to flick them with any semblance of feel.

>>248013
no anon please inform yourself!

>>248029
I thought the whole reason rubber shoes became the norm is because of vulcanisation being invented.

>>248020
alright, being cheap is /core/, fine by me, it looks like a fun toy, but being 6'4 I couldn't skate it

>>248030
Vulcanized shoes are just a thin sole attached to the upper by way of uncured rubber being used as a kind of tape by baking the pieces together while cupsoles are one piece rubber cups that the upper sits inside of, being held in with glue and sometimes stitching.

>>248033
but I mean like, I've got work boots that're vulcanised

You guys remember the tranny's Instagram I wanna watch some clips

>>248049
Its not a meme at all. You can literally feel the board under your feet more in vulcs than you can in cupsoles. Its a preference thing.

Anyone else realize that infamous tranny stomp video is taken outside of stratosphere skate shop in Atlanta? Grant taylor rides for them lmao

>>248051
In my mind board feel meant a lot more than the literal feeling of the board through your soles. e.g. how the shoe flicks etc.

>>248054
anon, you might be a little bit retarded

>>248056
He's right board feel is a preference thing but it's also a gimmick

are dedicated skate shoes a scam? I've tried different styles from vans, etnies, nike, etc. but nothing feels as good as regular ass nike low dunks.

>>248065
it's not like there's any special sauce in them. it's all percentages and personal feel. there are people out there who skate in Chuck Taylors.

>>248067
and, the fact that buying from dedicated skate shoe companies means you're keeping money in the community rather than giving it to some big name corpo who doesn't give a fuck about skateboarding.

Who else enjoys a good ol’ SSBSTS?

F4 for smooth concrete, dragon for more rough.

except most skate shoe companies are owned by large parent corporations, so no matter what you do you're still giving money to some big name corpo who doesn't give a fuck about skateboarding.

>>248075
which is why it is your duty as a consumer to do your due diligence. Sole Technologies, the company that owns éS/Etnies/Emerica is still skater-owned. I guarantee there are others, I just don't feel like digging them up at the moment.

>>248075
fuck it, you made me look it up. Axion, Straye, and Osiris are all explicitly independent and skater-owned. Diamond and C1rca probably are (I can't find enough info on them), with honourable mention being given to Globe due to their owners being historically surf-oriented.
