>>255974On which channel is the new Gifted video? Is it an interview?
Gonna try and do a little bit of skating the next few weeks just to feel it out
Brink used to be cool but turned into a fag after 2016 like so many others
>>256000The dude is a deranged narcissist. A broken person. It's actually interesting getting to watch him have meltdowns and shit from the sidelines and watch him be completely unaware of what a broken person he is. He won't ever get better, would be better to just put a bullet in his head and call it a day.
>>256020Sup jamie
>>256000Brink was never cool, in fact he was so uncool that he has been coping since 2016 about how uncool he was and been since trying to ruin the lives of cool people.

Skateboard is like drugs you remain the same age mentally as when you started in most cases
>>256052Yeah and?
>>256052>Skateboard is like drugsYeah its awesome

So wait what’s easier to learnBoard slides or 50-50sI feel like board slides are easier to step on but they harder to balance than 50sAlso the risk of getting hurt is more for boardslides right?
>>256074Go try and see
>>256075I have tried some board slides not much 50sIf I did I wouldn’t try a rail I meant as in in a rail
50-50 are 100x easier. You just need to ollie and stand on your board it requires no balance or finesse
>>256072Yeah that's a classic in /esg/ as well as the real world. Who knew that Jeremy Klein was a fucking retard? I also kinda dig Destroying America, it is just so essentially skateboarding, what with the five-oh's (a vert trick) on very high ledges on which you have to get with kickers (street skateboarding and snowboarding too).
>>256078It does require some balance, otherwise you can spin out of them. And it's harder to lock on round rails.
Ya biardslide is eaisier
Ya'll see Brad Cromer is upset that Ryan Lay is making edits similar to his? I personally really like both of them. I mostly skate alone these days because most of my homies quit, so the style of static angles and exploring out on your own speaks to me
got my first board today. got any tips?
>>256126pretty weird you stole that image from an underage girl on reddit
>>256133Weird and gay
>>256133my shoes are ok then?
Pedos are worst than leftists u have that picture saved on ur shit bro ur a loser
went to skate todayOnly attempted on 50 50I couldn’t lock in the rail and almost diedProceeded to not try anymore and work board slides

Is the anti-grafiti stuff they use slippery? I tried a new bowl and it was so slippery
>>256207I thought some bowls were just slippery I didn't know anti graffiti coating existed. Ps fuck big deep bowls and short steep ones, keep it mellow
>>256204of nothing?
>>256242Of having good weather, of you having the opportunity to skate you ungrateful no-perspective- having insolent.
I am jealous of working ankles
Yo why are we so slow? Wake up
>>256243Ah oops I concedeweather has been torturous to me recently since its prime skate weather atm and injured >>256244gather fetus's
what are the least lame skateboard brands today?
>>256318Nike SB
>>256319ok i'll buy a baker, thanks for your help
Finally made it off the kratom
>>256322nice, the withdrawals on that shit is no joke
I bought a Real board and it was bent.One of my wheels would be like 5cm off the ground it was totally fucked. Should have kept my receipt surely it was worth getting replaced on warranty
>>256341You could pm them (skateboard mfg) and see what they say sometimes they're super cool and will send a replacement
>>256343The board annoyed me so much I gave it away. It was pretty strange though, it must be pretty rare for a board to be that mishapen
Wintermode wintermode wintermode
this is not skateboarding. seeing this shit posted on thrasher irritates me because its not really skating, these people are using their fucking hands to manipulate the board which is easier and not impressive. if your legs are gone, cope with videogames or art like a normal disabled person.
>>256430I can't imagine anyone who would claim crippleboarding is superior and it comes across like you feel insecure about your ability compared to theirs. You could always cripple yourself skateboarding, problem solved.
>>256341it's called warped
>>256448Ok semantics-san
>>256430Is that the Braille guy? Isn't he some crazy scientologist who spent all the company's money on his thetan levels or whatever?
>>256462So is Berra and so was Jason Lee
>>256475Seems like it worked for them those dudes got paid for a while
Which company had sexy girls on the decks? I'm talking something I saw 20 years ago.>Inb4 girl
>>256493Hook ups
>>256495That's it! I wonder if I'll find my first 2D wank.
>>256213You shouldn't be skating tranny
>>256213Skate until you die
>>256511You shouldn't be skating, tranny
>>256430He reminds me of this x files episode which gave me nightmares as a kid
>>256525im not
Flip tricks are gay just ollie it
>>256565a classic cope. I used to hear that from the kid that pushed mongo and did boneless on everything
>>256579Mine as well be a ballerina
Is the industry gay or rad?
will I attempt a 50-50 this weekend and not die in the attempt Who knows
how do i improve my balance
>>256604You don't need balance for a 5050 you just need balls, what are you gonna 5050
>>256605i'm not the 50-50 guy, i'm a beginner who wants to stop feeling like bambi on ice
>>256607Get low
>>256607Work on your leg strength.
>>256601>Schrödinger grind
>>256604The only way: repeat ad nauseam.Emphasis on the "ad nauseam" part
Anyone tried the Andy Anderson flight decks? Are they worth the price and how much lighter are they?
>>256643is doing tic tacs for hours in my garage going to help at all
finna break in those NB770s>>256074>50s : repeatedly train to land on an obstacle on your trucks (typically 5-6 inches between the wheels) with your feet both light enough to have precise movement and heavy enough to sustain your bodyweight>boardslides : throw yourself at something and see what sticks>>256078you don't skate>>256653we're all boomers or trannies here, not literal children
>>256607bambi legs are called that because bambi was a newborn and hadn't gotten used to standing or moving. practice standing and moving. push around and do squats while moving. learn to fall. etc
>>256668>you don't skate50-50s on ledges*I hate boardslides, I always am on the verge of slipping out and landing on my ass.
>>256662Yes. And also just pushing and rolling and aiming to go somewhere.Bros and broettes, when I am stoked on skating, I always go back and watch H-Street's Next Generation, the unedited footage of Danny Way on the Real Skate Stories youtube channel or any of Jason Rothmyer's parts.
>>256721pop down, big front 90, land on middle of boardas shrimple as that
My legs are thawing. My winter board is almost ready for retirement. Got a brand new set up ready. Its gonna be a good year bros.
>>256848Post set up
im thinking I should try slappys before 5050s
>>256854I skated for 25 years and never did a slappy, I quit right before they came cool. You could try a noseslide with or without a ollie those are pretty easy
People need to stop pretending slappies are real tricks desu
>>256863living is a trick and so is landing on your face and dying (slappy accident)
>>256869Your mums a trick
>>256877Your dad is gay
>>256863Ehhh, fuck you mate???>>256877>>256878Bravo guys, wow, REAL mature, REAL good form there *claps*
But did we really get Enjoi back?
>>256888No BBS, No buy
More than anything in order to be a good skateboarder it seems you have to be good at falling.I got a fracture falling on flat ground, how do these guys do it?
>>256991Tuck and roll
>>256859>they came coolGotta admit I never heard of them until fairly recently. Was this not a thing back then?
>>256999It was in the late 80s n shit but then went away then reappeared during COVID as a trendy thing
Slappies are objectively not cool.
Slappies are objectively fun.
>>257025They look like they hurt
>>256888Are you talking about the Made in China? It's the same manufacturer as before.
I'm gonna cop a zero when I get back on the board, bold logo, was my first deck, thank you for reading my blog
What’s a objectively a good deck size I’m 5’10 and built like a lanklet who started hitting the weights recently And I’m a size 9 shoe
>>2570568 inches will do, wider if you want, go to shop and stand on decks see what u like
>>257056I ride the current "if you have no preference then get this size" board, 8.25 and I'm your height with a size 8 shoe, suits me fine
he did ithttps://youtu.be/H93U_ryFzos
>>256991you have to be a genetically gifted, a masochist, ocd schizoid or autist in order to be good skater
>>257067>tfw its a repostin other news i am watching stay gold and spankys b-roll is him crying
>>256863if miniramp lip tricks are tricks then slappies are tricks
>>256913you are part of the problem>muh ChinaProfessor Stix
>>257076Anything above pushing around on your board is a trick, let's be reall
>>257056Little kids and midgets look really solid when skating.Maybe big boards are the way.
>>256322Update: nevermind
>>257079if it scores points in THPS it's a trick
>>257085bro...
>>257105I'ma try again I'ma just keep it to myself, I've been doing it for 10 years
>>257075Have you seen the guy? He's fruity as fuck.
Tried to drop in on a 3ft qp this morning brosWarmed up on a bank a few times until I got comfortableFell off backwards 3 times in a row and psyched myself out. Ended up doing the splits, pulling my groin and landing on my palm bruising it all to hell, a very productive session
>>257192Why not learn to ride up and board stall and tail stall first?
>>257193I may try that next time, I'd just be worried about how I'd handle the roll back down if I'm unable to drop in, my presumption is that the exit from a tail stall is harder to control than a drop in. Also I'd need to up my switch game
>>257195You need to want to go fast
is chicago a fun place to skate?>>257195fakie tail stall is easier because your body is already inside the ramp
Apparently you can't even watch any videos at all on youtube if you aren't signed.
>>257199I'm going to chicago in a few months
Gonna be 35 next month it's so over
>>257192Sounds like you just aren't ready. How comfortable are you on your board otherwise? Can you push around and ride like it's second nature? Can you pump back and fore in a mini comfortably for as long as your legs will let you? If no, then do those things first and do them a lot, then go back and try again and it will be trivial. If you're slipping out on a bank when coming back down fakie, you just aren't ready. If you do luck out and make a drop in, you'll just get to the other side, panic and fall off or bail anyway (or slam before you evben get to the other side), it's just pointless. Get solid foundations first.
>>257211I can come back out of a transition fakie fine, but I won't say I couldn't be more comfortable. There are no mini-ramp set ups around my way just isolated QPs, but I'll get down into the local bowl when nobody is around and do some more practice when I get the chance, it certainly couldn't hurt
>>257211Oh, to clarify, I fell off on the quarter pipe not the bank. English is an imprecise language
>>257199>>257205Grant skatepark is tight. I also found plenty of random street spots when I was there. Pic related.
>>257256Nice, any more pics? I like getting the vibe of a city, the last city I went to was dc. The traffic ficking sucked
>Paige Heyn
>>257192Lean forward bro you got thisPlease dont try again if your instinct is to lean backwards, thats how you die
Anybody keep getting clips of nora and 2 lesbos on a podcast, God that shit sucks
>>257288>Anybody keep getting clips of nora and 2 lesbosdon't excite me like that bro
Starting to get warm around here, beach time
>>257308Thanks for the reminder
>>257280I can overcome the instinct on a medium bank but I think my lizard brain is wresting control back on the QP, I'm going to do what the other anon said and reinforce the forward angle of attack by pumping in the bowl before I try it again. Gotta let my limbs recover properly first though, I feel like I sprained my wrist and pulled a tendon in my knee and it fuggen sucks
>>257360Make sure you get low n bend those knees
I'm gonna get a decathlon complete set.
Guys I just took a skateboard deck to the knee about 20 mins ago I’m in excruciating pain Should I visit a doctor I can walk barely but I have a huge ball next to my knee
ok so I took a pill and smoked some weed and now it’s better but I’m afraid it’s going to get bad again right?
>>257447Suck it up pussy
>>257439I buy their blanks because "core" brands like polar cost three times more for the same quality, not sure about their hardware though
>>257449They use Fury trucks, is that good?
doing good I think it’s gonna hurt tomorrow but I’ll be alright guys I think some idiot waxed the spot I was using too much
Hoping for a tranny clip this thread
>>257458how do we summon her? I feel like the rampant transphobia from some posters may have scared her away.
>>257447Of course, if it's swollen that bad no way it's going away in a day. 3-5 at the least, and thats if no serious damage occured.
>>257463Only one poster (probably you), I never was against our tranon, I only stated a historical position about feminism.
im wearing knee pads from now on
>>257463>transphobiaVert scares me but men pretending they are women is just weird
>>257446>>257458i cant
>>257481okay an old clip bc its good for the occasion
>>257486Pretty gnarly honestly, never got the chance to skate a very ramp >>257486so sure I would have balls to drop in
>>257504"Not so sure I would have the balls to roll in"
>>257486Was that the scariest thing you've done?
how does skateboarding become cool again?what took its place?what do kids and teenagers think is the cool edgy alternative thing to do now?
>>257508>become coolIt's always been cool.When I was a kid I saw some guys doing flat ground tricks and thought "that's cool". I knew nothing of the "culture" or that it's edgy and alternative, it was just aesthetic.
>>257508>What took its place?I think everyone just sits at home and scrolls on their phone all day now.
>>257509Yes but the first guy I saw do a ollie looked super rad he had spiked bleached hair. Nowadays a childs first ollie seen will likely be done by a tranny or something similar
>>257511That's my point, both of those freaks are probably skating for the wrong reason.
>>257513There is no right or wrong reason to skateYou can skate for whatever reason What are you talking about bro
>>257486I like the implications. Very allegorical.
>>257511>>257513Samefag troll by the way
>>257514Sure, you *can* skate because you're a faggot who wants to be alternative and the skateboard is just an accessory. Try following the conversation.
>>257516Gayfag detected
>>257517Nothings stopping fags from skating, what are you gonna go up to everyone you see you don't like and spaz out and tell them they're "not real skaters"
>>257519>Nothings stopping fags from skatingI know. Are you esl? Again, try following the conversation.>spaz outIrony.
the constant complaining about trannies is so fucking lame can you be mad about something else already
>>257521Who's complaining about trannys bro. Everyone knows trannys are gay except esg anon shredder
>>257516Many people simply hate gags and trannies and their invasion of what was once a masculine space.
>>257526I wasn't, but me. Fuck them.This is an anonymous board with a thread about skateboarding yet those faggots insist we know all about their sexually proclivities.
>>257508skateboarding is like a lion, set it free and itll defend itself.
>>257521my dream is to date a trans girl from 4chan, preferably /r9k/
>>257530Why tho, u can do better king

>>257543>https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4lNWQY7YKBYwow i never realized it but me and homasexual rigamole guy share a missing tooth, thats cooli always like finding tooth twins in the wild
>>257544Why don't you get a tooth? I have partial denture, get on Medicaid
>>257549am i crazy for thinking it looks kinda cute, idk maybe it grew on me (i gota flipper for it dw)at the very least it makes me unique, sounds cringe but like it makes me unforgettable. there are plenty of cute girls out there but im the cute girl w a missing tooth if that makes sense
>>257555You're a fucking weirdo dude missing a tooth dressing up as a girl, gross
>>257557for reeeeeal LMFAOooo nigga needs to get a grip. bro looks like a unhinged drug addict and thinks hes "LE Cute toothless girl UWU"
>>257555Nah, dental work is expensive. I don't blame you for rolling with it.
>>257558ooooo ur tempting me to post another selfie but i wont i wonttttt
>>257567How old are you? U gonna cringe at urself wen u older
>>257557>>257558>>257569If you actually want them to go away, giving them attention isn't the way to do it. Basically, they love the insults and are posting themselves here knowing they will get shit for it cause they fucking hate themselves. Just ignore them and they will go back to /tttt/ to get their daily dose of self-harm there.
>>257555Trips of cuteBut a woman? Come oooon...
>>257570>daily dose of self-harm there.yeah cus i cant fucking skate right now FUFCJJCKKKKKKKKKK god i miss being hurt on a consistent basis i really miss it all, its been so long my shins only have slight discoloration and the perpetual hematomas in my palms have healed. i am nothing without my skateboard and it is nothing without me>>257571what are you saying
>>257288i did after I watched some jacuzzi videos, I usually get mitchie and foy suggestions
All these old companies coming back is gay just start new ones
>>257570i dont care if they are here or not i just pray they turn to jesus, be true to themself and stop pretending they are women. Then maybe they wont be a mentally ill masochist who hates themself and wants people to insult them.
jinwoo snaped
>>257531idk the feelings I have had for them and we get along well
>>257603Your telling me you get along with another dude well, no way!
>>257592Allright Hulk Hogan
>>257592eh been there done that, grew up roman catholic, not rly my thing desu>>257603is that it, yeah what >>257607 u just like girlboys, i mean ig its cool finding a girl whos into xbox 360 shooters like gow or halo but it sounds like you enjoy the male socializationokay and a skate reply to keep it on topic uhm>>257579>jacuzzi videos, I usually get mitchie and foy suggestionslulllllll
anyone got any setups they're working on, I just ordered all this
>>257612Kinda reddit style
>>257612Is it normal for people to have multiple setups or is one just backup?
>>257592There's only so much you can do my friend. Ultimately you have to respect that everyone makes their decisions in life. Some people eventually grow out of it.>>257611Jesus is real, and He is found when you truly seek Him out. The desire needs to be there, or the faith is meaningless.
>>257611idk I like cute affection and stuff anyway I shouldn't have brought it up
>>257616i mean im into the bible, always thought it was interesting and was the best kid in sunday school, but more in a mythology way now
>>257619The Bible can't be properly interpreted without the Holy Spirit. There's layers in there. A lifetime of reading wouldn't suffice. Good to know the Word of God interests you however.
cleaning this thread
>>257612Is this bait?
Are cheap Walmart boards really entirely worthless as a beginner board?I know that the decks snap easily, but I haven't heard any serious complaints about the trucks, and cheap decks are always floating around on local used markets. Could be a decent starting point for someone who just wants to get to get the tip of their dick wet and see if it feels good before blowing all of their money.
>>257627Some of them have plastic trucks, but the wheels and bearings are the worst part about them. They are so stiff its straight up dangerous.
>>257627No, they are a waste of money. Don't buy one.
>>257616Lenny Kirk, is that you?
>>257632No sir, just a random face in the crowd.
https://youtu.be/J6gQR-95pdY?si=Z8CNYKBRqf_mPJxp
>>257615Depends how much money you have. I reckon most people 30 and up with steady jobs own about 2-3 set ups. I have 2 8.25's, one is my normal set up for general use and one has cruiser wheels for getting around. The cruiser one is almost pointless though and I've probably used it a handful of times in the last 5 years.
>>257627You can get a perfectly reasonable complete setup for like £40 - £50 in the UK online. Cheaper if they're on sale. Just spend a little extra dough the difference is worth it
I have like 7 boards set up and maybe 15 decks, I don't really skate
>>257648Explain
i skated for the first time since 1998 today. went about as well as you'd expect. didn't fall though, so we take those.
>>257657what took ya so long
>>257661no one to skate with mostly. still don't have anyone to skate with, but had an epiphany that i need to live life while i have it
>>257662keep skating, youll find people its what happened to mealso psot clip when u get kickflips back (assuming you had em)
>>257280>>257364>>257364Got back to the bowl this morning and ran into a few Vet skaters, they were kind enough to give me some pointers and got me doing some better pumpingHaven't tried to drop in again, but my confidence is build ing back up again
Antwuan on thrasher cover
I know the Tony Hawk Sig Series boards are shit, but could they still be worth if you get it for $15 second hand and only use it for basic board handling (pre-trick beginner board)?
>>257662>i need to live life while i have itWelcome aboard
>>257677I'd say that's fine.
>>257671insider trading or no one did anything this month
>>257671>>257684https://youtu.be/O9QSpCkzMUc
Gonna buy some village pm when they come to usa
>>257642It makes sense to have a cruiser and an actual skateboard, but i mean in terms of skating on a real skateboard. Id imagine different wheel sizes/truck tightness depending on street or vert but idk i never got really into skateboarding where 2 or more skateboards made sense.
found some untouched planters with good ledges today
Beat a younger dude in SKATE today, first time I've played in ages, had to dig deep in my bag of tricks. Got him with a 360 flip, fakie heel, double kickflip, half cab heel, and a fakie tre was the dagger. We both had SKAT. GG homie.
>>257714nice. my school friends wouldn't let me play horse with them anymore because I kept doing stuff like casper flips and nose hook impossibles
>>257715He got me with an ollie north and a late pop shuv those are 2 tricks I just dont even think about. I wouldnt want to play you either haha

Lau williams is a tranny I just found out I thought it was just a good chick. Fuck this shit I'm so tired of it
>>257718who are these dudes?
>>257718This shit reminds me of old baker vids just homies fucking ripping. Awesome music choices too. If this doesnt make you want to skate you're probably gay
>>257735atlanta scenehttps://rumble.com/user/chasontrau?e9s=src_v1_cbli posted his last video overload in here 4 years ago and people hated it for being edgelord shit.
>>256539That scene from Breaking Bad with the legless Cartel guy crawling on the floor off his hospital bed with the blood dragging behind him
Guys I fucking suck at skateboarding.
>>257741Who cares, what matters is whether you enjoy it or not.
>>257741What can you do?
>>257741dont we all>>257733ur clockdar is weak then ngl
>>257741Wats ur best trick
I miss being in my 20s and getting absolutely wasted at the skatepark with the homies
>>257751That creature has the same eyes as the tranny
>>257718>>257738Pretty cool.Any similar videos?
>>257785see>>257738overload and mallgrab to mongrointeresting that people like it now on here. I haven't been on here in forever and a few years ago everyone hated overload
>>257787Was it worse or better here back in the day
>>257789I'm not sure I just got here. I've used it on and off since the /asp/ days
>>257745What's clockdar?
>>257789It was more active until a few years ago. I used to be the main OP after ThreadKilla. I also introduced posting music in the OPs. It sounds like decades ago but it was only years ago.
>>257792To "clock" means identifying a trans person without them telling you. The term "clockdar" is an unnecessary portmanteau of "clock" and "gaydar" which ignores how anyone can "clock" a trans person whereas gaydar is exclusively for people with gay tendencies. I'll fix the bad joke>>257745u meant "clock running slow" dorknut
>>257807>portmanteauMy gaydar is going off
I can't seem to transform my stationary ollies into rolling ollies guys, when I'm in motion I always seem to have too much weight forward or back and I can't find the sweet spot like I can when I'm stood still.Is this just a case of I need to feel it out again from scratch while rolling? I keep hearing people say that a rolling ollie is like a stationary one but the world is moving around you but it certainly doesn't feel that way
>>257816>I can't find the sweet spot like I can when I'm stood still.>Is this just a case of I need to feel it out again from scratch while rolling?But you already know it, just do it.
>>257816>Is this just a case of I need to feel it out again from scratch while rolling? Yes
>>257820>>257822But I wanna be able to do it alreeeeeady
>>257823Bro this shit is a journey
>>257823Just do your reps. How good are your stationary ollies anyway? Do you really have them down? I don't recall how my own progression from stationary to moving went, I put zero thought into it.
>>257816Start off as slow as you possibly can. You need to readjust and compensate your body jump to follow with the board as its going forward. Thats how i did it. I cant ollie going really fast, but i can on a decent push.
>>257825I can get some kind of pop and board lift 90% of the time, not perfect form though. I wouldn't say I "have them down" more that I *feel* like I'm comfortable enough with them to really try rolling. Perhaps that's hubris>>257826My issue is that when I roll slowly I either end up coming to a complete stop before I csn get comforrable enough for my attempt or I end up rushing it and the board flies out in front or behind me because my centre of mass is off the back trucksI know I just need to practice more and stop expecting miracles, I just get a bit frustrated when my progress seems to stagnate
>>257827You need to absorb your landing and bend your knees while absorbing and surf away
>>257827This doesn't really help but is nostalgic https://youtu.be/b7RYkf4oXv0?si=9h5tz5w-NMd_vYAY
>>257827>some kind of pop and board lift 90% of the timebruhDo 50 ollies on the carpet a home, practice your shove its manuals and riding outside.
>>257827>My issue is that when I roll slowly I either end up coming to a complete stop before I csn get comforrable enough for my attempt or I end up rushing it and the board flies out in front or behind me because my centre of mass is off the back trucksEasy solution, gain enough momentum to have time to set up.But before that you need to go home and do your carpet ollies.
Guys why does it feel like half the time were teaching some kid to ollie
>>257834>kidlol lmaoYou're right though
>>257834I'm older than you are, statistically speaking
>>257834kids need to stop trying to ollie in their garage all day and actually go outside and learn how to actually skateboard
>>257813takes one
Is it realistic for a 24 yr old man to return to skating? Is it one of those things you never forget to do? I haven't skated since I was 14, but I went hard from ages 11 to 14. I just wanna know if I should give up on my dream of impressing cute teen girls at the skatepark with a kickflip...
>>257850Skatepark pussy is too young for you
Been skating for more than 10 years and there are still shit I am discovering. For example, my backside tail stalls were hail mary-stick it wherever. But today I was more determined than ever .and realised you have to look throughout the whole motion
>>257827>My issue is that when I roll slowly I either end up coming to a complete stop before I csn getOn some carpet try moving from pushing stance to both feet on your skateboard and ollie as fast as you can. Lrn2 quickly adjust your feet for an ollie
>>257751My best trick is a rock to fakie :/
I couldn't wait to get home from school and practice my carpet skating.I was born into the carped, molded by it. I didn't see pavement until I could already kickflip.
>>257874its nice out, go push wood nigga
>>257874Lmao
Has anyone heard of this brandIt popped on my socials a few months ago
>>257751Pushing the skateboard without falling off.
>>257751360 flip (I landed it once in a dream)
>>257881What's the issue?
>>257874I skated carpet for the first time since I was a kid this past winter. It legitimately helped me lock in my nollie/switch heelflips
I quit skating drugs and smoking at the same time all bad habits
>>257891Consider quitting living too
>>257891I quit smoking weed and I got better at skateboarding
>>257892Bitch I got gangstalked and didn't even kill myself
>>257896>I got gangstalkedlol
>>257714>>257715there's a bunch of tricks that I've never had like tres, but I love pulling my bitch ass special moves like nollie 360 shuv or fakie varial heel>>257850if you do it for pussy you'll fail but I went back to skateboarding at 27 and I'm having more fun than ever and my fitness is peak
>>257888It's great, you can practice at any time, get so many reps in.
>>257902Varial heel seems way more advanced the 360flip.360 is exactly what it looks like, you don't even need a tutorial.
>>257905vheels are for 12 yr olds
>>257906So why can't you 360flip, an easier trick?
Anybody ever pop a tire skating
Varial Heelflip is a certified minority/wigger trick. Especially switch or nollie. I don't even mean that in a negative way. That's just how it is.
How do the long timers not get tired of skating? What keeps it fresh?
>>257921Doing new things.You did a front blunt? Cool, now kickflip out.Now bigflip out.Now do it switch.Now get weird with it and try to inward bigheel out.
>>257905Varial heel is one of those sketchy tricks that intellectually underdeveloped children are fond of, you're not supposed to say anything about them, just ignore it. When a child performs an impossible, boneless, front 50 to boardslide, any varial flip, you have to pretend you didn't see it and carry on. Whether it's harder than a 360 flip or not is irrelevant. But I love popping one of those ugly sonsabitches to save a game of S.K.A.T.E. >>257906>>257919I whole-heartedly agree. I think I shall be practicing my nollie varial heels today, in my baggy work pants, listening to American 90s rap.>>257921Skateboarding doesn't attract the kind of people that possess the cognitive real estate you'd need to conceive of boredom, we're just content with getting to play with a piece of wood
>>257921Surprisingly there's no dopamine down regulation from landing varial heelflips even after years of use.
>>257907idk..
>>257936It's just a big scoop, front foot barely has to do anything.You can do it king.
Have you ever been cool guyed by someone
>>257896good on you for not caving to the pressure
Hi gangI'm still pretty new to skating, and the most advanced trick I can do is rolling down fakie and doing a full 180 so I'm back in my proper stance while going down a slope.I'm bad with some terminology though. I can do that both backside and frontside, whatever it's called. And I'm really great with tic tacs and I get more confident on my attempts to do manuals everytime. Yesterday I held a manual for .5 seconds it was pretty cool.Anyways what should I be practicing as I start to transition from just basic tic tacs and lifting the nose and going forward on the board. I'm very comfortable now skating with even just one foot on the board, so I think I've advanced enough after the past few months to start trying stuff. I can do that thing where you put both feet under the upside down board and you hop up flipping the board and landing on it, and i can do it without feeling like the board is going to zoom out from under me or that I'll break my spine or something.What I'm trying to ask, is other than the inherent constant practice you get just from casually skating, where should i start looking to get practice? Likenisnit too early to start practicing Ollie's? I'm almost certain there are fundamentals I'm missing before I do that. Like I have trouble jumping straight up while on the board. Every time i try to jump up, my feet are like kicking the board forward or backwards. Are you guys staring straight at your feet or just hoping you land right? Thanks for listening to my blog.
>>257939I almost died though, a lot of damage but gods been healing my body over time
>>257940>Likenisnit too early to start practicing Ollie's?Not at all, do them at home on the carpet.You can watch a tutorial where someone explains it, but in the end you'll only get it after many repetitions, and not a sequence you try to follow. Your brain already knows the sequence after seeing countless ollies.
Alright y'all I'm not making a new thread till like 420Make sure you land bolts bros
>>257657>go skating for the first time since monday>pull groin within 5 minutes>walk homegod damn it i felt so good pushing. how long is this gonna take to heal
>>257961Old people must stretch before skateboarding
>>257961no more than a few days probably
>>257940It's not too early to learn ollies, but learning hippie jumps (just jumping off the board while rolling and landing back on it) is super useful and will help you with ollies later on.Shove its are pretty easy for beginners, especially fakie. You can practice them on a carpet, or landing in a patch of grass at first if you just want to focus on landing on the board after it rotates.Have you tried doing kickturns on banks/ramps? It's honestly one of the most useful things you can learn how to do on a skateboard if you have a skatepark you can go to. Actually, have you skated transitions at all? Going down slopes, pumping back and forth in a half pipe, etc.Other shit that comes to mind:>learning to roll off of a curb (small manual with speed)>learning to roll up a curb (tiny manual to get the front trucks over the curb, then tiny nose manual to get the back trucks over)>nose & tail stalls on curbs>running and landing on your board with speed>cavemen>learning to slow down by dragging your back heel on the ground while holding a manual>pushing and rolling switch>nose pivots (you can already do tail pivots, right? If that's what you mean by rolling fakie & doing a 180)Honestly try and spend some time on your board and "come up" with tricks, too. Obviously you'll find tricks that already exist, but part of the fun of skateboarding is learning to do something and thinking "oh wait, what if I do that the other way?" and that turning into something else.

If that's what you mean by rolling fakie & doing a 180)All of these you know how to do after you've learned to ollie and accepted yourself as a skater.>pushing and rolling switchThis could be good though.
Mitchie Brusco and Skate IQ as a whole is the coolest shit man. I've never seen someone so seemingly genuinely interested in helping people. I've never bought any of his packages but his free shorts and videos are so insanely helpful. I think he'll be remembered extremely fondly in a few decades as a pillar of skateboarding.
>>257981I don't know about all that now
>>257940Watch early skateboarding videos, it's highly motivating to see pros doing super rocketed ollies because they were still getting a feel for the technical nuances. Makes me wanna go out and enjoy some sloppy rockets too.https://youtu.be/w3QqCkKwa50
I fucking hate Luis Mora's Erased and Aura and Lakai bullshit. All three of them are gay, reddit, and retarded. Erased and Aura especially have no direction or identity or a theme or anything at all. It's almost as dogshit as Revive. Looks like shitty Walmart shit.
>>258002I don't know what u just said besides lakai
>>258003Sounds like a you problem. Or blessing.
DON'T BOTHER FLYING WHEN YOU JUMP OFF A CLIFF
>>258002Economic forces shape society. That is the current superstructure of skateboarding, that's where we are. Jockified, sportified, red bull capped. Who can turn the tide but us?
>>258010>Jockified, sportified, red bull cappedIn terms of Luis' shit it's redditfied.
>>258012Only know Louis Lopez, sorry. Who's this guy you're talking about?
I just bought the http://www.antiheroinisrael.com domain from here https://youtu.be/CUTr7xl7WCo
>>258014You're trying too hard to be cool anon.
>>258016I think it may be YOU who is trying to be cool, did Luis mora fuck ur bitch
>>258010I dress like a jock and skate better than you
>>258015Why
>>258017No but he fucked you, bitch. Simping over a youtuber over here. Get a grip.
>>258019why not
>>258016Not trying at all, I am. And I look good on the board too.
>>258018But everybody wants to skate when they look at me, whereas they look at you and think "oh, there's a skater, he is doing skateboarding".
>>258023>And I look good on the board too.proofs?
>>258025You know it's true, you Kylo Ren imperial goofjug.
>>258026I highly doubt that's true.
>>258027The world isn't happening in a screen bro
>>258028That's fair but how do I confirm that you're as cool as you claim?
>>257981as long as he doesn't rape anyone
>>258029You don't need to confirm it.You already know it. It's called human communication. It's not codified like a legal argument. It's multilayered and it carries your history of experiences in interactions. You can already tell, I come off as someone who you wish you'be half as stoked or stoking.
I honestly know I'm the coolest in this thread
>>258032No, but definitely the most bitter
>>258033I'm not the guy u were fighting with im just a cool guy coming through
>>258031Unfortunately, your grammatical errors confirmed you're in fact a kook.
>>257981Think he’s already a pillar. Anyone learning how to skate will lean on his vids. He demystifies skating with chillness and kindness when historically the attitude in skating has mostly been “fuck office kook” or “get gud fag”
>>258055>fuck officeInteresting autocorrect, but sure. Fuck working too
>>258056I haven't worked in 10 years. Niceee
>>258008i been humming this for a few weeks now hy
>>258018>>258023>>258024>>258032can we see
>>258074No
Y'all niggas seen the quasi vid
>>258137no but I listened to gifted hater watch it today at work
>>25813720 minutes in and I hate all the music choices so far.
Is it possible to have started skating and gotten used to it with the wrong foot?Like I always rode goofy but what if I'm actually a regular prodigy?Or just in general I wonder if I'd have better control of everything with my right foot pushing and pivoting. Shame I can't even stand on the board with my left foot
is there a reason to buy shoes for skateboarding?
>>258170Yeah if you do alot of flip tricks they have a extra layer of fabric or rubber under the toecap
Think I'm gonna make a new thread tomorrow
>>258170Flat soles, newbie noob>>258176Yeah dude
>>258175>>258186etnies marana or accel OG? both have pretty good sales at the moment
>>258189I had the maranas, solid shoe although a but ugly. But I am stoked on the DC kort graffics fucking insane dude.Speaking of product, opinions on Bones STF 103A. Sidecuts or Locks?
Jeffwon Song >>> Daewon SongI'm not afraid to admit it.

>>258217KEKEK
>>258002What the fuck did this dumb zoomer try to say I can’t comprehend half of what they/them said
>>258210Gotta say, polish men mogg
im thinking of getting knee pads to skateBut I’m afraid it might make my skating bad and I will look like an idiot Anyone else uses knee pads? Does it take a while to get used to them?
>>258217What was it
>>258225A picture of young Netanyahu and the poster was urging the poster to whom they replied (the antihero link) to have the link connecting you to a picture of young netanyahu killing "retard child soldiers".Obviously a troll post and we always remember Ryan Lay who made a part in Palestine (West Bank) with the local skate liaison who was also interviewed by Jenkemm.
>>258233I own the url; I currently have it redirect to skatepal, which Ryan Lay volunteered for
>>257981He's honestly great to watch even just as a teacher honestly. It's rare to see people who are so clearly one of the best in their fields (or were at a time) be so interested and passionate about teaching people, even complete beginners. His skate clinics are honestly really interesting to watch just in term of pure pedagogy - he is incredibly good at 'abstracting' a situation, looking at a student and being to tell okay, this is the one specific thing you're doing wrong, and then being able to come up with different ways to help the student see in what way they're not doing it right in the first place, and then a plan for how to fix it.I don't know, there's something cool about watching a great teacher be great at his job, be it teaching skateboarding or mathematics or music or whatever.
>>258165>never skated switch a day in his life>>258170why even post here
Watched Ben Degros review some 7.5 board, guy is 6'1.Makes me think at 5'11 I should get a 7.75 or at most 8, even though I read I should get 8.25.
