Springtime edition Old thread >>255974
Mitchie Brusco eh? I might have to check him out.
Watching Mitchie upsets me because fuck everything he does is so beautiful and smooth. I've never seen a more perfect Ollie pop. I've never seen such smooth manuals. Every pop he does is so fucking nice and smooth and the same every time. I can't do shit. I've never seen anyone do stuff as smooth as him and I want to model my style after his. I'm borderline enamored with how SMOOTH every vert or transition trick he does it
Mitchie Brusco eh? I might have to honor kill him.
>>258268Quasi video was sick af. Best vid I've seen in a minute.
>>258284I just don't get hyped off videos anymore
>>258285knee status?
How do I manualSome people say to have your front knee bent and back leg straight. Some say back leg bent and front leg straight.Where on the tail do I put my foot? I feel like I want to have 95% of my foot hanging off the back, that's what's comfortable but I think that's so extreme? Like some people have their foot towards the base of the tail and that seems insane to me, I can't put the tail down if my back foots that close to the bolts
>>258286My knees are pretty badass I have fuck cops tattooed on them, I think it may be cause im old or schizo
Mitchie Brusco huh? I might have to air off his launch ramp if you know what I mean
Will be copping
Y'all seen roadrunnertmoney on insta? Lmaooo
>>258315No, qsf

I rolled my ankle kinda bad today, pretty sore and I need to work tomorrow.. you guys think icing it will help?
>>258333i think i saw this ankle on redddit today. imagine there's like 17 things fucked in there. i got hit by a car and it rolled over my foot. diagnosis was a sprain. about 15 years later i get an mri on that foot for an unrelated reason and they're like: "hey, does your ankle ever hurt or give out on you? you have no cartilage and a torn ligament and a tendon all out of place. but we ain't fixing that shit you poor cunt, enjoy rolling your ankle for the rest of your life" which seemed a bit rude but i appreciated their honesty
old cunt groin update: still fucked, can't skate, gonna be awhile.
>>258258
>>258339Daddy Degros changes his set up constantly, it means nothing. He seems to veer towards 8.25 on average, though, I reckon. Been watching that guy for about 5 years ish. Also, I've been there and, trust me, you are 100% overthinking it. I'm 5'11 and started with an 8.0 and it served me well as a beginner, but eventually I moved up to 8.25 and pretty much exclusively skate that now. Sometimes I will switch back to the 8.0 (mostly because it's light as fuck so if I'm a bit tired or sore, it helps pop it easier), but I could never imagine wanting a board smaller than that.
>>258333That's why I had to quit I rolled my shit so bad I can crack it now
Is Tyler Surrey off New Balance? That Thames video was kind of sweet.And give opinions those who have ridden Bones STF 103A>>258333FACK
>>258337Speedy recovery son
>>258333awesome colours in therethere is no way I stepped on that foot if it was me
>>258333I rolled my ankle so bad I had to stay off it for about a year and it's still not quite right, even after physio, it just catches awkwardly at certain angles and will probably be fucked like that forever. Still, even though it was a nasty one, it didn't come out in bruising like this at all.. How the fuck does this even happen without breaking something?
>>258336You skate with it like that? What does it feel like and how often does it roll?
>>258333ive had this exact thing but on the outside of the ankle it and was okay within about 8 weeks
Wish I could get stem cells like danny way
>>258333I did something similar and now my achilles cracks and pops and slips out of place every morning
niggas out here not doing any physical therapy at all and then just live with their injuries that have healed incorrectly
>>258410Physical therapy didn't exist back in the day, or if it did it for pussies
any longboard enjoyers?
>>258443No way can you ollie on that thing.
DON'T BOTHER FLYING WHEN YOU JUMP OFF A CLIFF
>>258443Gayyy
>>258445Nah, it's a freeride / downhill deck made for slides and stability at higher speeds
>>258467Didn't that guy die? The youtuber who used to bomb the Alps?
>>258472That's not him but Josh Neuman did die in a plane crash.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmWlXEqs_pY
If anyone ever filmed a part post it here my nigga
>>258443I don’t mind them, I just think it’s a lot cooler to bomb and carve on a trad size/shaped skateboard. Drop throughs are an abomination.
>>258391>You skate with it like that?just cruise, no flip tricks>What does it feel likehave lived with it so long that it just feels normal. don't really notice any instability, just find myself watching where i step. it does visibly look different from my good ankle. like the outer ankle bone protrudes a lot because there's just connective stuff missing below it>how often does it roll?not often, because i don't play sports or do any high impact shit anymore. used to roll it a few times a year. last time was when i stepped on a seed pod from a tree while jogging, which, again, is why i watch where i step more than most people probably
>>258443don't ever post here again
>>258483Is this a bad time to ask this genny’s stance on surfskates? I was thinking about slapping some carver trucks on an old 84 mcgill reissue to try something new
Only acceptable alternative is snow skates and snowboarding
Skate shoes have always fucking sucked ass design wise, the best ones are rip offs of nikes. Just look at a Eastbay catalog from the 90s and up and then look at a ccs, skate shit is a bunch of bullshit in comparison
>>258475>Josh NeumanThank you.
>>258482>joggingTerrible exercise, especially for someone in your situation. One day it'll all add up.
>>258511Everybody says this, how is jogging bad?
>>258514The constant low impact wrecks your knees, it's just overuse. Can't imagine it's good for that ankle.

Anyone ever do repairs in a spot? This rad bank has nasty cracks and holes all over that I always dreamed of smoothing out but 1. the spot would only be usable on weekends and 2. ive never worked with quickcrete (job is way too big for bondo) and 3. I don’t love the idea of buying trowels and equipment and shit. It’s a parking lot so I don’t think anyone will care if I do the work, it’s not like I’m building kickers or installing rails or anything.
>>258537Yeah, looks attractive. Do you have any co-conspirators?
>>258536Faggot
>>258548>Do you have any co-conspirators?Nah. Gonna to take a look at it a little later and think about what all I'd need
>>258537You should probably still ask in case they make a big fuss and want to be difficult about it that way youre not asked to stop modway through it or at the very least down some money on the equipment and resources
>>258553It’s the border of an open parking lot and some school district admin buildings. There’s no way in hell they give permission to do unpermitted work. There’s no one there on the weekend so I feel like there’s a good chance I could work for a couple hours in the morning or afternoon. Maybe do one section at a time so if I get stopped I’ll at least have part of it to skate
>>258560Make sure you wear high vis if you do. I would never put money into a skate spot personally
>>258564>I would never put money into a skate spot personallyYeah that's the main hangup but at the same time... it might be fun.
>>258566I am behind this 100% and so is every skater. And I think it's sensible you want to go a section at a time.>>258564Why wear a hi-vis? So he doesn't induce suspicion?
>>258570https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwXwr-KWjLvrNqcfuo97smcnsb4TzTvBCthese are fun to watch and give you the basics of building diy skate spots
>>258575meant to say: hi-vis is a common inclusion in all kinds of nefarious activities. gives the illusion of propriety
I miss skating.It's been 20+ years, feels bad it's one of those things you can never really go back to.Enjoy it bros while you have a crew and recovery ability.
>>258579I dunno, I'm seeing a lot of old fucks still going and having fun on youtube.
>>258537found a video of kids hitting this spot 16 years agohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5Wf9LmHyFM
>>258579olds are returning, you just have to adjust your expectations and goals
>>258584lel, that's mad. So cool.
I'm really enjoying Dan Corrigan's videos, he's a likable libtard.
>>258595will he skate again? beeing a long while
>>258597No idea, I'm watching old stuff and he's injured there too.
The only person I look up to is myself
>>258537I would just make a bondo ramp so I could clear the chain
https://youtube.com/@eleventwentyninteenninetyone?si=8gHAprlmEmqU9yN8is this a man or a woman? I can't tell
>>258608probably a man but close enough to not matter
Quasi video gets me juiced to skate. I had the post credits b-roll playing this morning while I got ready and my street session was better for it
>>258608obviously a trans. they've been coming up on my youtube too. love their fat ass, but they are so tall
>>258608I'm thinking it has a penis
>>258618>love their fat assKys
>>258443Yes but with dancing
Kids are into ebikes not skateboards, can't blame em
>>258624Check out this turbo faggot I foundhttps://youtu.be/KtsAGqo-V18
>>258626see>>258451
>>258626Modern skating seems to cater mostly for women and trannies. Doubt I'd think it was cool if I was young now.
>>258635A sad state of affairs
>>258635>>258636You people are retarded
>>258632oh you're mad cuz he's stylin on you
macey lenus is hot. post hot female that do skateboard
>>258666I thought Marissa was cute back in the day but I have a thing for butterfaces
>>258525It has literally been this way for 10 years you absolute newfaggot
>>258666her too
>>258694ai is too good now
>>258677Sorry for having a life bro my bad
>>258694This is how to get sponsored
>>258673She and Nora and Elisa and Vanessa Torres and Alexis Sablone are legit, although I dig the first three more. Nora however, because of the fake-woke push by the companies, has bought into her own hype the past few years.
>>258287You just gotta find that center of balance bro. I kind of imagine like I’m throwing the board out in front of me and it helps me find that sweet spot.Helps me to throw my arms up too and focus on popping it like a shitty Ollie.
I have her board, but I honestly just liked the art and looked up who she was after.
>>258697She has been around forever and gets no love because she is too attractive, women hate attractive women. Bufoni got a pass because she talks like a downy..
>>258333I also fucked my ankle so bad i needed surgery (syndesmosis screw and tightrope) pretty sure its fucked permanently, its just constantly swollen and aching, wish i never got the surgery
>>258703I think most people do that
>>258713>wish i never got the surgeryThat's interesting. They also say that lower back/vertebrae surgery is innefective and that, at most, it will give you some relief for a month and then it will come back stronger.
>>258713I cannot remember who, maybe Malto, but someone I was watching interviews on after my ankle injury and they mentioned they had problems and had screws taken out and it improved their mobility a lot. They regretted the surgery etc. As bad as my clicky achillies is, at least once warmed up it feels 100% fine.
>>258511Should he be swimming instead?
I have a skateboard at home (given to my brother by his friend) but I never used it. I want to try to learn it but idk
>>258740I dunno I think he's trippin, a light jog never hurt nobody
>>258742How old are u
>>25874728
>>258749No harm in going outside and riding around, gonna be hard to learn tricks at that age though
>>258759>hard to learn tricksreally? why?
>>258761for one thing falling fucking hurts, maybe not so much at 28 but it's not as easy as 14.second, you have to put in some obscene time to get good. kids can put in hours and hours a day for years on end, whereas you can't. if you can, i'm jealous.instructionals and information is definitely better now though, i'm old and our sources of information were those jeremy wray and willy santos transworld instructional videos, and good locals.in the end it doesn't fucking matter anyways, go have fun
Entering my biebel arc. I get more jock by the year, people probably think I watch sports... And I low-key hate skateboarding and skateboarders... Kids are fine but skateboarding adults? Yea bro that's shits kind of gay to me now
>>258749i'm the same age and have been learning as a complete beginner recently. only skate a few hours a week, so i'll be old and bad forever. it is still fun learning tic tacs to gain speed, hippie jumps, and starting to try manuals. i just wear pads and accept pain
>>258765when did you start skating?>>258768cool thanks, wish we could learn together at our age lol
Just curious what made you guys want to start skating?
>>258771My older brother. Because of him most of the first skate videos I watched were before my time. First one I ever watched was Menikmati.Tony Hawk's Underground also hit me at the perfect age and got me hooked on the idea of skating.
>>258774Is your brother better than you? I used to skate with two brothers and a set of twins
>>258771i'm running a tabletop rpg about a crew of skateboarders. I was doing a bunch of research for that purpose, and the whole time I just thought skating seemed super fun and wanted to learn myselfessentially my eyes glazed over watching a Rodney Mullen part and I became obsessed with the idea of doing a kickflip by the time I turn 30
>>258483go longboard bro. don't forget to wear your helmet
>>258780is longboard the gay version of skateboard?
>>258781nta but it depends. dropthrough longboards are lame and people who ride them are lame. using a longboard to bomb hills can be pretty cool. riding longboards to mimic surfing can be cool, unless you're not cool. but if you're not cool, the size of your board won't matter anyway
>>258800this is actually a 28" board. she's a surfing dwarf influencer based in perth
>>258759>gonna be hard to learn tricks at that age thoughBullshit. It's actually easier.
>>258800>riding longboards to mimic surfing can be cool,It is never, ever, but at least it helps with surfing.
Regular skating is way better for surfing that that meme shit. Learning to go fast, pumping a bowl, doing kick turns and just being comfortable on a board > wiggling your hips on some retarded ripstick
>>258820i wish you'd wiggle your hips on my retarded ripstick
>>258831That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me, ty
>order sick board from skateshop>get phone call>"uhh... it's our last deck and it's warped. we can give you a different deck if you want">"n-no thanks a refund is fine..."ordered straight from the company instead. hope they don't send me a warped one
>>258833>rugged the local skateshopheavy anon
>>258835don't worry homie, i bought 3 from them. just refunding number 4. could have picked a replacement but i have too many decks as it is
>>258836respect
>>258778He was better at hucking stairs and gaps. He doesn't skate anymore. Quit years ago. I tried to get him back into it, but he's full boomer mode now
>>258837don't give me too much respect. i love this but couldn't pull the trigger
>>258779Di you have any pictures of your game? I never played games like that, dude if you have a board just go out and ride around
Where do you guys buy your skate decks online? There are 0 skate shops within an hour from me in any direction
I fuck with nyjah broshttps://youtu.be/uqiIAEaifSk?si=PKYcN9yrHeYYlGAW
>>258884Any specific shit you want? Just Google fu
>>258886I just want the best selection at the lowest price. Didn’t know if you guys had any preference or knew something I didnt
>>258887Well skate shops have decks called shop decks that are a little cheaper but you don't live by one, mini logo makes cheap decks, can also look up any blank decks
>>258884if i see a deck i like i literally check google shopping for the best price. get boards from rando skateshops across the country, but generally scope them out a lil before pulling the trigger. will also order directly from distributors like skateone and nhs. haven't used ccs but don't have a specific reason or anything, just found decks cheaper or was more convenient to order elsewhere. seems like a decent place to build a complete tho
post vids that make you want to skate. this literally makes me want to take a road trip and hit this chill ass park in a gorgeous locationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZVfZzII9mo
>>258820I wasn't talking abour ripstick, I was referring to cruiser longboards/"surf-skates", which actually warm you up to the concept of pumping.
>>258885Why does he always look like he shit his pants?
>>258884I buy blanks because I'm a broke nigga
>>258885music is ABD
>>258885is this vid before or after he cracked his skull open
>>258893fucking faggot
ok I started to use the skateboard today. I'm trying to do an ollie. quite difficult; still didn't land it.
>>258919nvm I'm bad at it. first time skating lamo
>>258893these bowls and ramps are the only things that make me want to try skateboarding, looks like it would be a ton of fun. i cringe when i see people doing it without helmets/pads though.
>>258925How far is the closest park to you
>>258932i actually have a pretty good number of them nearby surprisingly, probably within a 5-10 minute drive. will have to see if i can get a friend to go too so that they can embarrass themselves with me.
Did you also get to have shitty slippery metal or splintery wooden ramps in the 2000s - early 2010s in your country or was it only in my Western Pooropean rural shithole that it took until the late 2010s to find out that concrete was more durable and smoother than graveled blacktop ?
>>258951let me guess, french? also yes
just started skating for the first time today. can you give me some beginners tips please? how to ollie?
>>258954>some beginners tipswear a helmet and pads. watch/study youtube videos, tons of how to videos out there
>>258954Don't wear a helmet or pads
Dudes im totally over teaching people how to fucking ollie
>>258959>>258958>>258956thx
Antwuan has a part coming soon
>>258951Yes it was like that everywhere
>>258953France has good skateparks, have you ever been to Bordeaux?
>>258601More power to you
>>258361OPINIONS ON BONES STF 103ASIDECUTS OR SKINNIES?
>>258954Get your skate legs before trying tricks, board control starts on the ground not the air. Try pushing fakie. Try rolling switch down a gentle slope. Do not even attempt to ollie until you can roll up and down a curb. Stationary ollies are good for learning fundamentals but as soon as you understand them it's time to attempt rolling ollies. Faster is safer and allows better opportunities to bail out rather than slamming.
>>258974this is good advice for anything almost. start with the basics first and get comfortable. trying to get too crazy right away will more likely lead to injuries / burnout.
>>258954SkateIQ on youtube has a lot of useful stuff, though his videos get a bit repetitive
also newfag at skateboarding why do i suck so much at pushing? i feel like i can't carry speed hardly at all. is it a balance thing?
>>258974thx
>>258985thx
>>258986I've found that the better my balance gets the more power I can put in my pushes and the more frequently I can get a push inCan you linger on one foot between pushes? Good starting point for getting good at pushing. Start really putting power into it and rising up on your lead foot a bit before going back in for the next push, I found that really helped getting faster
>>258961https://youtu.be/E-mUGIqhvUY?si=Fu2kz8HOAz868err
>>258968I literally live in Bordeaux lmaoMoving here is actually what got me back into skateboarding, I'd never lived in a city before where you see so many skaters everywhere and that has so many good parks and street spots.Just wish it didn't rain so fucking much.
Kinda embarrassing how elder wiggers like muska and Penny are still wearing the same gear and haven't updated the fit
>>259000>Moving hereParisian scum, it's CHOCOLATINE
>>259004tkt fréro, j'ai toujours été du pays de la chocolatine <3
>>258986if you're using a walmart board the bearings are probably trash
>>259006I understood what you said except the tkt. I spent a month in Bordeaux, like others visit Barcelona. Fine memory. Landed a clip across from Riot, where I saw the Flip team perform a demo. David Gonzalez was murdering it, nothing surprising. Arto Saari said "salut" to me.
>>258998God level kino.I got emotional, bros
>>258998I loved Tuan but this modern him idk just doesn't hit the same, zoomies riding his dick also puts me off
>>259022It would never hit the same as back in the day, he was portrayed as black Jesus back then
>>259022>zoomies riding his dickIts literally all millenials
>>259032Gifted turned his fans onto Antwuan recently. Majority of the millennial I used to skate crowd don't know who he is.
>>259036Bullshit
>>259038>t. zoomieBaker 3 was 2005, Tony Hawk games were up to American Wasteland. This was the era when the millennials put down the skateboard. This was also pre internet, Baker 3 didn't just drop on youtube and worldwide skaters watched it the same day..
>>259040Bro I was there, millennials worshipped antwuan
>>259041Well my friends I grew up skating with do not know who he is, had quit by then.
>>259040Dude all my skate videos were .avi files that started with an egg frying in a pan with an advertisement for an IRC channel.You call it pre internet, but it was actually peak internet. It's all been downhill ever since.
>>259044damn og, the only video i pirated was the sk8mafia video I got from limewire or some shitanyway, volcom put out a second decent full length in 4 months.. didn't see that cominghttps://youtu.be/icquxwiUvYU
>>259048I still don't understand how women are taken seriously in skateboarding when the standards have always been so egregiously low for them and continue to get lower every year.>Roll on grinds>50s on curbs>Skating slow as shit and not even doing something technicalGive it another 10 years and some bitch dropping in on a mini ramp will be a video ender.
>>258990i've been practicing just staying on my front foot while pushing to try to get better at balance, but i get tired doing that pretty quickly. trying to just cruise has had a tougher learning curve for me than the baby tricks i've been practicing>rising up on your lead footdo you mean up on the ball of the foot, or like straightening the leg?>>259007i have bones reds for bearings
whats the dealio about comparing little asian girls to antwuan
>>259057>do you mean up on the ball of the foot, or like straightening the leg?Yeah, I personally straighten out my leg a bit between pushes, maybe it's placebo but I think it helps keep my leg from tensing up and lets me maintain a nice rhythm
>>259040He>>259044has a point there
>>259053Bro, peep the new (!) Blood Wizard video, then come back and reflect on that comment.
good shit twuan
>>259053https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-Xs0YRamgI
>>258954Hope you didn't make the mistake of stepping on the board straight away. You have to build up to that shit, rushing into it is what make most beginners quit. See pic related for visual exercises to prepare yourself. Do this for a week before you get on the board.
>>259079Fuck this gay shit just go ride
out here astral projecting instead of just skating
I legitimately want to punt kick every scooter and bike kid at the skateparkGet the fuck out of hereRoller blades are okay. They're nice.
>>259084Anyone getting rad is ok by me, no matter what they're on
New Sour Solution is good bros and broettes.So much scandinavian talent lately, I just GOTTA ask; what is up with Polar??
>>259090scooters can never ever "get rad" though>inb4 some link to a clip of a pussy scooter faggot doing some fakie double whip condor flair on a megaramp (still looks lame)
>>259079this series is probably the funniest thing to come out of esg
>>259090>getting rad
>>259092Fritte Soderstrom is a god tier filmer. Everything he puts out is amazing

>>259073very good for a 37
Going to the beach next week, this is the park... But I'm not going, it's strictly beach vibes
I wonder if it's just some fat nigga from the sumo thread trolling the thread constantly asking how to ollie
>>259116Wouldn't be surprised. For some reason a bunch of the users here can't wait to offer their dusty ass advice to some retard
>>259105You know that guys gotta sick kick turn
>>259106Is it the filming? I was thinking the same. Not the editing? Not the tricks?
>>259116We've had a resident troll since /wwe/ was moved into /asp/. He was posting Asuka, an japanese wrestler woman, and he even said he was going to "be with us" after /xs/ was created.
>>259003That isn't true of Muska at all. Penny, yes. But I disagree with the premise.It is actually more embarrassing to be fucking Ben Degros or Andrew Reynolds trying to dress like the 17 year olds at the park.
>>259132>It is actually more embarrassing to be fucking Ben Degros or Andrew Reynolds trying to dress like the 17 year olds at the park.Is this trolling?
>>259132The Boss's hat game is fucking crazy
>>259148
Ive been posting on slap with my little cock in its cage all day
>>258268im 25, fat, and 5'9 with 10.5 size feet and bought a board from my local shitty skate shop that's I think is an 8.0 but I still feel like I can't really get any balance at all all the while I feel like I should've gotten a landyachtz cruiser instead of a normal skateboard.
>>259166Yeh most likely the wrong sized board is the problem
>>259172Should I get a bigger deck or say fuck it and get a used landyacht as a broke boi
>>259166If you’re just starting out, just use what you got. It’s gonna take awhile to build up the muscles necessary to stay balanced on a board. There is no substitute for time. Spend a lot of time pushing on your board, you’ll lose weight, and you’ll get better and better at balancing. If you move to a larger board later everything will feel like second nature
>>259176Honestly I wanna move to a bigger board now mainly because I just don't want to do tricks as I know I can't really do them.
>>259177I mean if you just want someone to say “buy a cruiser” then sure, buy a cruiser. But you’re not going to instantly feel comfy on it if the 8-inch was giving you trouble. My advice stands. You need to skate while uncomfortable, and keep skating until it’s second nature
test
>>259166You should stop being fat
>>258350What's your skill level? What tricks can you do?I still can't decide, I don't know what I skated back in the day, but my kickflips had no height, I didn't do them the "right" way, either because of a lack of force or something to do with my proportions or both. If I get an 8.25 and it's even heavier it'll suck.
>>259172kek,brutal
>>259178yea he is coping. the board size won't help much, but moving to soft cruiser wheels can help a lot. I'm not sure if that was what he was trying to say though it seems like he's focused on size (wont make a big diff)
>>259166>nobody said itIt's a new skateboard, you have to break it in. Also you're new.>>259180This too.
>>259180this is why i just enjoy going out and pushing on my longboard for about an hour a few times per week, it's great exercise. balancing and pushing use a lot of different muscles and you can alternate pushing legs to get both legs evenly. it's also lower impact than running and easier on your joints over time if you wear pads/helmet.i imagine you can do the same with skateboards with the right wheels (larger soft wheels for a smooth ride and more coasting). then just pick a nice area that's fun to push around in, somewhere with a lot of flat space but also a few mild hills for some fun.
I still can't tre flip consistentlyI've tried to break it down as much as I can, focusing on different aspects of it, but goddamn it's like I have to have it absolutely perfect. My biggest issue is it usually lands behind me. I am just not leaning back enough. But goddamn I've been working too hard on it basically, I've been putting in like 50 attempts a day for a while lmao
>>259238Yea I could never tre consistently I just have up on it, but I did a few sick ones so I'm happy. How many tres have you done?
>>259240I've landed maybe 10-20 that were actually passable.. the best one I ever landed was actually in flip flops. I can land them way easier fakie, in fact I think I can land them better moving than in one spot. I just want to land them in one spot like nothing you know
>>259212I had a bad day trying to ride the time I was typing it out but yeah I'm thinking on just getting some bigger and softer wheels but idk if I'd need to change my trucks out for something else.
>>259252I should also ask how you even break in a skateboard if you're newer than fresh shit.
is Oria trans?
>>259255that's what I'm fucking trying to know since I get her/his youtube channel recommened to me
>>259104I never knew there was a series of those
>>259252You suck and are going to suck no matter what you ride until you no longer suck
>>259191>What's your skill level?Maybe upper levels of beginner, possibly on the very lower end of intermediate. Likely somewhere between the two.>What tricks can you do?basics like ollie, 180, shoves, maybe a kickflip for flatground, 50-50's on ledges, boardslides, nose slides. I can do your basic miniramp stuff as well, like rock fakies, rocknroll, tail stall, 50-50. I like 8.25 because I can take it to transition and do my flatground stuff without much bother. The 8.0 feels a little too small for transition sometimes, but I still learned on it so it's not terrrible. If you find 8.25 too heavy you really need to hit the gym.>I still can't decideLook, anon, there are kids out there who are like 14 years old probably half your body weight riding 8.25's and doing kickflips, stop fucking overthinking it. If you have money, get both set ups. If not get the 8.0.
>>259255Too good not to be. Soo glad I quit before trannys took over, I don't know how you guys still do it
Why wasn't Jerry Gurney on the new Blood Wizard?
>>259277Nigga probly doesn't skate anymore he was trying to sell weed a few years ago

>>259284shes so hot, who can blame her?
>>259277He hasn't been with Blood Wizard for like 5 years. He made a public show of shit-talking the owner dude for being corporate and wearing Patagonia, then he pissed on his pro-model deck. He has a company called Mortuary.
>>259284>just skating>ass and tits hanging out>mobbed flips and no complete rotationsnigger, what.
>>259284I can't even compete with her
>>259286I saw a clip searching for him by Mortuary Skates.>He made a public show of shit-talking the owner dude for being corporate and wearing Patagonia, then he pissed on his pro-model deck.Get the fuck. How did you learn about this?
do we hate nyjah and love ali boulala in this thread?
>>259293We love both
>>259293I find them both annoying and neither represents what I enjoy in skateboarding
>>259255it's literally a 35 year old tranny. insane that you guys cannot tell. they do got a fat ass but they are tall af with huge broad shoulders and fucking old. >>259255not really. they aren't very good lots of girls better than them. they are literally a 6foot+ 35 year old it's easy to tell
Shit went from getting absolutely gnarly to trannies doing slappies
>>259293>wefuck off faggot
>>258601you're a fucking slayer>>258767ur mad
>>258820unironically fun as fuck indoors tho
>>259296As persons? Yeah. But Nyjah's skating deserves all the praise.
>>259303kys
>>259116>>259295new drug?
>>259326Nigga those are slushies
>>259326What drug do you think that could be?
>>259329I wonder if it is a jumba juice. Speaking of which, wasn't it weird when braille skateboarding youtube channel by Scientologists Aaron Kyro would always bet jamba juices on their trick attempts and references jamba juice and how they loved jamba juice as if they were almost sponsored or something weird like that then jamba juice when you look up their logo it is on the fbi pedo logo list that was a pretty weird coincidence huh.

>>259291Instagram when it was happening. I’ll bet the slap board has something.
>>259320Nyjah's skating is like opera singing: perfectly executed stuff that took a huge amount of time to master but ultimately it's unoriginal and admired by fat people, I find him almost as boring as that white kid who was at the olympics street thing whose name I'm forgetting

First time skater at 19, Was a little nervous bringing a hookups deck to my local but lowkey might be with hookups forever. I don’t know of any designers like Jeremy Klein artwork, His artwork just calls out to my innerWeeb.(Had to get Riser pads for the shark wheels)
>>259412where can I get weeb deck?
>>259415google "hookups near me"
>>259412Brother, why are you using shark wheels?Get some slimeballs.
Ahhhhh
>>259387who is robert brink?
>>259412i only skate jeremy klein boards... never really hookups. I like the classier stuff on the JK line and i order from him on web. I always get girls at the park coming up to me saying "is that a hookups". Most skaters will get the reference, it's more of maybe random normies will get pissed about it if you skate street but whatever
>>259418>Brother, why are you using shark wheels?They remind me of my fleshlight, seemed to fit the theme
>>259345Fuck. Haven't visited Slap in a while. Tried to get an account several times over rhe years and as soon as I completed registration it displayed a message that I was banned. I never had a profile there. Not that I would nowadays, it's dnc central there, especially after they yielded to covid, forget about it. Still curious to see. So was he right? Did BW turn into another Welcome situation? Welcome btw was the most recent legendary team, in the pantheon alongside the Brigade, Plan B and Flip. I know you all know this and it's not that far long ago, but I get the feelinf sometimes that I may be misjudging the passing of time and what is standard to me has yet to be learned by a newer person.>>259348I uses to hate Nyjah and I still do, but at least now I am at a phase in my life where I can appreciate the sheer awesomness of his skateboarding No dude, Nyjah is all-time. Like Gifted said, we are lucky to live in his era and what are we going to do after he stops.
>>259412You look rad. Like your whole getup including the board is kind of...sick. Is this really you?>>259431Ah nevermind you were trolling>>259424Are Jeremy Kleim boards better than the rest?
>>259431Grinds on those would be hellish.
>>259447just more tame anime art/references instead of straight goonerslop
>>259469yeah I don't mind his other designs, the hookups are for literal retards though. goonslop was transgressive in the 90s before we all had an infinite catalog of porn in our pocket. now instead of being shocking shit's just passe and weird to rep in public
>>259431Wrapping your wheels in bacon is a bold move.
>go to skatepark>excited to skate the 3>pull up >tranny riding in circles doing kickflips>blocking le epic 3 stairwhat would you do anons?>>259412if i saw you at the park id avoid you and only talk when spoken to desu
>>259443>what are we going to do after he stopwatch the Japanese kids who have been murdering it lately and hope that Brazil picks up the slack and gives us another Bob Burnquist or something
>>259479>what would you do anons?https://youtu.be/qJlFL4vJZ5w?t=2512
>>259479Skate somewhere else for a minute or kindly ask them to give me access to the 3 stair
>>259479Go find a 3 stair that's not at the skatepark and do your little ollies while some old farts give you dirty looks. Or you could just ask them to move.
I'm trying to learn pop shoves, and the board is consistently trying to wrap around my front foot like a weird backwards FF impossible. What's causing this? not sliding my front foot up quick enough?
Went to the shop on the beach, elder millennial with a lefty mustache and his wife slinging frog and limousine gear to the zoomies... Looks like hell desu. I told em I used to skate you know the vibes and they seemed like bummed on me lolWhat's the vibes at you shop like, what do they sell?
>>259149mirin that Studebaker deuce in the background
>>259293this is a Jamie Thomas general
>>259496You don't slide your foot up with a pop shuv, but rather you're supposed to just lift it.
>>259508I see. is that why it's trying to wrap rather than rotate? like my foot is catching it and changing the trajectory. I did manage a regular shuv (no pop) once but it was basically on accident.
>>259479Are you stalking tranon? Do you have a crush on her?
>>259499You're a cornball
>>259514That is just negro slang for authentic
>>259514Why cause I don't skate? I think most skateboarding is cornball shit
>>259510It's called a pop-shuvit for a reason.
>>259499I don't wish anything bad to happen to you. I wish that you find what you are looking for.
>>259522pop shuvs and shuvs are separate tricks
>>259523I've found it
>>259525Pic related
>>259510Yeah, your front foot does nothing except land back after the rotation.
>>259524He said pop shuv it
>>259541I mentioned both. I was trying to do a pop and did a non-pop (and landed it) once. >>259536so basically, get my front foot out of the way ASAP. I usually also struggle to actually get the board to spin, usually I have to really mulekick the shit out of it and it sends the board flying backside rather than spin
>>259542if u get ur front foot out of the way asap u are leaning more towards doing a pressure flip type thing which isn't good. just learn how to do normal shuvs without popping. once you can consistently do that just do that while ollieing at the same time. its not an impossible or pressure flip idk what these guys are telling you. just do normal shuvs and gradually increase the pop not that complicated
>>259542Yeah, that's what I said. It's called POP shuv-it for a reason. You have to POP it to make the board elevate.
>>259526learn how to rotate images retard
>>259516kook
>>259548not an argument

>>259560Fuck yeah. Wasted on your psycho ass though.
>Lakai put out a video of a couple of their team riders going to a skateshop to see their new shoes>They went to fucking ZumiezFucking hell.
>>259563It had something to do with Brian O'dwyer's part. He comes off of a brown kinked rail and almost gets hit by a car or some shit. I can't remember exactly.
>>259577good shout, that's exactly what it wasso fucking dumb because he's not even near the car lmao
>>259566They have some staches that make you look left wing and some make you look right wing
Good morning esgHave a nice day today
>>259568Bitch I'm probably one of the only ones who could actually skate that
>>259542I don't know what these other guys are talking about. Is duster a thing again with kids these days? Anyway, yeah you shouldn't be getting your front foot out of the way, but rather just making sure that you lift it in a way that lets the board rotate from under it without being blocked, ideally it stays in the exact same position but only goes up and down you feel me. I've never done a "regular shuv it" but in college I would get complements on my pop shuvs all the time and it is the trick I did really well back then. I make no scooping motion with my foot and I jump really high but not forward at all. Who wants to do a regular shuv anyway? You can't do that one down a 4 foot ledge in front of a bunch of sorority skanks.
>>259586aregulear shuv is a freestyle trick from before the Ollie was around. you basically make the board spin on the ground, skittering along the wheels.
>>259589So the duster is a thing again. Yeah I appreciate it man I knew what a "regular shuv" is but thanks. I don't know why someone wouldn't just want to learn the vastly superior and more impressive version.
>>259592it's not that Iwants to learn it, I was just saying I did one on accident whilst trying to do a pop shuv
I didn't even notice last night, you guys eating at nollies?

>>259579Yeah, its dumb. It probably demonetized the video so they took it down and cut that out.
>>259584I doubt it
>>259611I'm the best in this thread and it's been proven. I know the truth hurts but it's still the truth. Unc is #1
>>259592it's great for board control and literally the same exact thing except you're not popping as hard. it's a great stepping stone and will help you improve faster in the long run
>>259600>le hell in the cell man4th try's a charm

I'm so tired of Japanese robot skatersAlso baggy pants
New thread tomorrow. Rip moat race
>>259214Sorry for never getting back but I've been healing because I ate shit really bad by landing on my shoulder blade and have been kinda scared to ride ever since. How do I even break in a skateboard when I can't really ride it?
