>>260762Yeah, but I say nigger under my breath a lot at the skatepark
>>260775Thats not nice
>>260793Its aimed at myself most of the time lol
how did our tranny fuck up her finger like that? shit is bruised like it was broken or something. Originally it looks like a basic cut or maybe something with her nails fucking up but that shot after its bruised like crazy wtf?
>>260806Shut the fuck up and end yourself, you fucking turbo tard.
>>260806fucking dork
>>260809>>260808if you guys are so smart tell me how that is possible ;)
>>260810i think the dude slammed their fingy onto the ground or a barrier during one of their many documented slams. hope this helps
>>260756>jaeb/quasiSick combo and video buuuut no way Prod lets him do that ender in his catering job fit.

>>260848thanks for putting me on to this
>>260863>>260864eat shitmore importantly, my fakie flip is for whatever reason leagues nicer than my kickflipneed to grow some nuts and take it down something
>>260870That could happen to a non fatty.It's so disheartening how easily people can get fucked up, but the pros get away with launching themselves down stairs and ledges
>>260872>fakie flip is for whatever reason leagues nicer than my kickflipSame just rolls off my toes so easy where regular I ghost flick half of them and just flail around like a tard
>>260873A lighter person would have less momentum, and therefore less force going into the ankle when slamming.I mean props to fat people for actually going out and trying to skate, that's obviously way better than staying home no matter what, but extra weight is just much more dangerous on your articulations and bones in general. Pros tend to be pretty skinny and athletic in general. Obviously with experience you develop automatisms for bailing in almost every possible scenario, but having good muscles and low fat goes a long way.
>>260848Now this makes me want to skate
>>260881He's too good to relate to.No, the tranny makes for a better /esg/ mascot.
>>260888Post yourself doing any trick better than the tranny.You won't.

I'd be tempted to smack the shit out of the first tranny I see in real life due to the shit they cause online

What song are you guys gonna skate to in your part?
Why did the nine club steal the Captain n Casey set? Did they acknowledge it? A homage?
>>260934Haven't watched 9 club in years
>>260936Same. Once I got put on to The Bunt I realized that Crob and gang are just too old for me to really relate to.

Im also not into the mutt sports talk. The random skater show is great though, watched them all and I've only ever got one lel

are (YOU) skating this weekend?
>>261025skated the local yesterday, skated my box today, and skating street tomorrow
A group of skaters vandalized the parking lot I frequent.I was even there while they were vandalizing it, and although I didn't interact with them they definitely have my face on cctv.The security guard there would just ignore me, but now I'm not sure if that's going to be the case from now on.Fuck there's no other good spots around here.
>>261034vandalized in what way?
>>261034Why didn't you say anything to them?
>>261053Teenagers are scary.
>>261038Removing the blind people dots and the anti grind metal clips at some stairs.>>261053I didn't even know they were breaking it.I did see them apply wax, but that's harmless.
>>261055So is the rest of the shit they did no one will care
>>261034just tell them the truth if they confront you about itgee that was hard
broke my elbow cruising around a parking lot. i will tell people i broke it doing a fakie 540 off a 12-set
>>261076really? How did you manage that?
>>261089wheelbite and fat
>>261092Damn, that's rough brother. Don't let this stop you from getting back on your board when you can
I feel like this hasn't been adressed properly>>260751
>>261145Rocco was that guy. I want to know more about Jeremy Klein and the Honey Pig
>>261146I was into asians like klein when I was younger but now I'm just not into them
>>261146what's the honey pig???
>>261175A place with attractive Korean girls apparently.
>>261189oh im a big jeremy fan and don't remember him mentioning this. what's the lore
>>261191https://youtu.be/YJTrHiDc0Lw?t=3023
>>261197ohhh i see its from this. yea i haven't watched that, but ive watched every tom green of him I could find. tons missing though ;(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbjeb4Wh-44
>>261197yea i see this is honey pig BBQ in irvine california. hes gone there forever and sold boards and done meetups there. Its in the vice documentary a bunch hes there with heath kitchart etc. they say hell get drunk and throw glass and shit in there and theyll let him or something
>>261201I don't know much about hook ups or klein desu, just found it funny Rocco saying don't demean him. I remember when I was like 10yo skating a car park and some older kid there had a hook ups board, I thought he was very bad ass because of the graphic.
My 20 year old DVS shoes' soles fell off. I haven't used them that long, I stopped skating then.Give shoe advice.
>>261211Buy new shoes.
>>261224Which ones.
I love Ativan cats and skateboarding
>>261225Ones you like you fucking retard.
>>261211Shoe goo, tape, the woyksOtherwise get DCs.
>>261211DVS still makes shoes? lol>>261229people still skate DCs? lol
>>261232DVS filed for bankruptcy, got sold to an investment firm, the investment firm went bankrupt, and then got acquired by a shoe focused private equity firm in 2021.Seems like they have no riders and only make a few shoes now which are just their old 2005-2010 pro shoes renamed to something generic. Sad fate.
I fucked my shoulder pretty bad 180ing into a bank. Separated my AC ligaments. Its been 3 weeks and I can move it a little better . But doing small things like turning a door knob fucking hurts. I haven't skated since. I also haven't posted here in over a year. I'm glad to see it's still alive
>>261226holy shit i thought that was my cat for a second you cat stealer lol
>>261211buy whatever shoes. literally doesn't matter. whatev is comfy and fits your budge
is skating with a broken elbow retarded or fine (but actually retarded)
>>261241Wasn't it Daewon's company?
>>261259I guess I'm hesitant because the soles on my shoes just falling off not even because of use but age blackpilled me. Easy enough to keep applying goo to the holes but what do you do when the shit holding everything together "ages"? They should make an all rubber shoe.
>>261260Do what you want, retard, it's your elbows. If you want to get fat mans wheelbite while cruising again and do more damage before it's healed and risk serious complications, that's completely your choice.
>>261262Buy some wellingtons and take some footage of you ripping with them
>>261262unironically get some Nike SB, Adidas, NB#, or Asics. The big sports companies that make skate shoes. They last a long ass time and skate really well. You can find deals on them pretty easily too
>>261262I’ve been skating new balances and they’re comfy af Westgate 508’s in particular.
>>261275Maybe, Geoff Rowley said he used to skate in doc martens.>>261283>Nike SBI see some expensive and some cheaper ones too, are they all good?
>>261286Yea theyre all good
>>261283faggot
Did someone say shoes
Why the fuck are Indys so god damn heavy?
>>261267point taken dickhead, i just thought maybe i coud wear a pad over it and carefully cruise around instead of sitting on my couch continuing to be a fat cunt
i skate in old school puma running shoes because im steezy and chill and dont give a fuck
>>261286My favs are blazers. You can usually find some for 50% off
>>261329If my shit was broken like that I probably wouldn't risk it. How long is the recovery time?
>>261333idk seeing a specialist tomorrow, hoping surgery isnt ness
what are the best cruising trucks?
>>261262Forget the troll that said get the big companies. Get DCs
>>261338K, why?>>261329You run a small risk for nothing, not like you'll forget how to cruise while you recover.
>>261339There are a bunch of oldheads in these threads that cling to this old notion of being anti-Nike or whatever big corpo brand because they grew up when buying that shit was seen as "not core" and you would get clowned on at the skatepark for it. Nowadays your options for supporting a core skate shoe brand are pretty much non existent because they've almost all been sold and bought out by non skaters looking to extract value out of well known old brands.Nike SB, NB#, Addidas, and Asics sponsor and support a lot of great pro skaters and are basically the only avenue for a lot of them to make a living being pro. Most of my favorite current pros are on those shoe brands and so I see no issue with supporting the Skateboarding arm of those companies.
Nigga i just need the Nike cause I am fresh
>>261340Those companies controlling who gets a career in skateboarding is exactly why we said don't buy them. Now Nick Merlino paints instagram art in Missouri while Betty Transdick Rollongrind has a Nike sponsor and three thrasher interviews.
Avoid DC, cost cutting lifestyle brand LARPing as skate shoes.https://youtube.com/watch?v=pbgxcbqP7QQ
I skated with some cheap workboots today, they seemed solid but a chunk fell off the sole.I did manage some kicks and heels.
>>261348I love mine, maybe I'm with them 4 months, they are almost destroyed, got em on sale, thinking about my next shoe.
/esg/ - EggStremely Gay skating is for faggots
>>261354indeed, skating is for fags and transhttps://youtu.be/x-CUz9MJLOw?is=QYwhGXK-46OA4dgE
>>261335highly subjective you have to try them yourself but a few ideas off the top of my headpantheon stylus if you intend to never grind and only 149mm sizeparis street are a step down but can be used to grind but not exactly meant for that eitherfilm trucks might be more comparable to stylus due to the similar unique bushing design
>>261347>>261354>>261357obsessed
I don't understand how to manual. I've been practicing for weeks and no matter what my back foot always slams the tail down when I try lifting my front foot. I'm getting so upset that no matter what I watch or practice there is no progress like I just don't understand what's not working.
>>261357not their best work
>>261367don't move your head
>>261357>>261366Did anyone figure out how they fucked up their finger so bad? It's just a simple clip and it's bruised to shit like its broken
>>261367practice it on thick carpet stationary at home. its a little easier. Or buy a balancing board. It's literally just balance
>>261380no one gives a fuck
>>261380it's cinema
>>261367are your knees bent 50%,? if sitting in an air chair is 100% and standing straight is 0% i want 50% bent>but my knees are bentif that is true, and you have a lower center of gravity, and your suspension (legs engaged) is active - find the right amount of weight shift from front to back that makes the truck feel very light>how do i know if my truck is really lightif your front truck is in that "really light" state you should be able to almost drag the front wheels sideways, pivoting around that back truck with very light resistance (frictionless almost)>how do i manualthat feeling of being able to make the front truck "really light", just bring up the nose by making the front truck "really really light" then transition into front truck "really light"also dont flail around
>>261387you are fucking terrible at explaining things
>>261434No, that's prett much it.>gf finally leaves>it's cloudy with a chance of rainFUCK
>>261434In golf we call this disconnect "feel vs real"
>>261340not my problem
Never tried Adidas but bought a pair recently. They're the best ive ever had.Adidas NBNikeVans?Etnies if you can stomach themEmericaFallenThats my top 7 I guess.
>>261457Imagine the smell
Sick of powell and corrigan showing up to contest and stinking up the building.WE'RE NOT LIKE BRAILLE WE'RE NOT EXACTLY LIKE BRAILLE!! WERE COOL! fuck off.
>>261339DCs are the best skateshoes, plus they are considered a corelord brand.
>>261490haha i don't know what contests you are watching (i dont watch any) but i do know braille and dan corrigan. That's hilarious that you make that comparison. It's so fucking true. They are literally a slightly less annoying version of braille. All youtubers and autistic no style helmet andy.
>>261498>plus they are considered a corelord brandmaybe over a decade ago that was true. The last time I bought DCs was when Wes Kremer won SotY and had a pro shoe with them
>>261457>>261467I kind of want to try the new Ipaths now that they are back and have dope skaters on their team
>>261502they're really grippy
https://youtube.com/shorts/3RJ7rNQMNns?is=-T6Qs_9AU1_xCuW0nice video I wanted to share
>>261501Well why not? They aren't a conglomerate. And the shoes fucking rule.
>>261511I've just avoided them ever since they cut almost everyone from their team
>>261511They're owned by a private equity firm and their shoes are sold at Walmart.
Private equity goes harder than core these days
>>261507which rider was tightest
new oria just droppedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EZiQ61vihE

>>261551Mike V
>>261529They are also sold at skateshops, unlike Darkstar decks.
i thought this was a woman and was impressed.they're shape-shifting too well nowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KfctU2VLLI
>>261570He's mixed so it's harder to tell.
>>260936In the Rocco-Vallely episode (where Mike, for the first time, when asked repeatedly why he left World Ind., did NOT say that it was because of the jabs at Powell-Peralta) number23, which is another account of Gifted or Gifted-adjacent, provocatively posted "now sit Mike with Ed Templeton". LOL
>>260999This looks like a fever dream
>>261509Cringe but also endearing channel.
>>261348You misspelled Vans.
>>260999These guys have no trouble ollieing high with this thing, crazy.They should make a 7' one too.
>>261570He skates like a woman, so that adds a layer of camouflage.>Slow mo frontside flip off a curbFucking hell.
>>261476freddy wears every pair of ipaths for 18 hours before shipping so you dont have to imagine
If you wear ipaths and don't sell dabs you are a phony
>>261554i guess there are some oria-coded frames
wish i had a beautiful shaded diy like this
>>260749I can ride somewhat good but I think I'm just too scared to even try to do an Ollie. I've already slammed a lot trying to ride and I've somewhat gotten it down now. I tried doing an ollie once and I fucked my arm up for a month and cheese grater it across the pavement. Sorry for being negative but I feel pointless to keep trying to skate if I can't do simple tricks
you might not like it but this is what peak performance looks like
>>261604if you don't enjoy the feeling of pushing/cruising/rolling i don't know what to tell you. i get joy from just lifting my leg for a push and feeling perfect balance on the board, like i have full control and could hold my leg mid-kick forever. fucking love that feeling. have you ever been to a pump track? just feeling yourself building speed and carving is awesome. you can just ride the board a ton. eventually you will become more and more comfortable to try more. do little baby hippy jumps. gradually do them higher. then start sending ollies. or you can never ollie and just cruise. you can skateboard without ever doing tricks. your don't define your relationship with this toy by what anyone else does with it
>>261605honestly, pool skating (and transition) is the abso coolest form of skateboarding to me. that's what always gives me the immediate "that's fuckin' sick" gut reaction. hill bombing is a close second.
>>261604if riding around isnt fun youve lost the plot
>>261605Who the fuck is this stylish cholo?
>>261604I get how you feel manPut on some protective gear next time you go out to practice them and appreciate your progress as it happens, a small hop while rolling along and you don't immediatley have to jump off? That's a good start, getting those to roll nice and straight is already good. Able to jump up, lifting the nose and landing back on the board? Great, that's just a little ways away from a full ollie.Do a nose lift jump with a pop and the tail bounces off the floor? That's already more than most humans out there ever do, even if you don't immediately start landing themDon't worry about your progress desu, as the others have said you should enjoy the process as much as you can, if it takes you 6 months to get nice clean ollies or 2 years or even if you never learn them it shouldn't stop you from enjoying using your board. I'm struggling to make progress with my manuals, seems I can never hold one while rolling even if I can while stationary (for a little while), but I don't let myself get hung up on it and neither should you.
Why do you guys always act like riding a board is some magical spiritual thing, it's not that great a feeling and I've done it 25 years
>>261612i quit for 20 years and now it feels like a magical thing when i do something as simple as carving a bank
>>261076took my sling off today (day 8 since break). been in for x-rays twice but can't see an orthopedophile til tuesday. don't wan't to perma lose range of motion so i'm chancing it and trying to stretch it out a bit
>>261361>only 149mm sizei mostly skate 9-10 inch boards, that's too narrow innit?

>>261604>I tried doing an ollie once and I fucked my arm up for a month and cheese grater it across the pavement.You can't even do it but you tried it moving? You should be at home on the carpet doing ollies, shove its and 180 turns.
>>261604Keep at it, your way
>>261637>>261638soulless individual. I just know if I met you there would be nothing behind your eyes. I'd then beat you in a game of skate where you don't land a single trick. Sad!
>>261650>I'd then beat you in a game of skateHow? You can't even ollie.
>tfw keep running into dead yt channelsSo depressing.
>>261655All I'd need to do is tre flip, fakie treflip, nollie heelflip, switch heelflip, and fakie full cab you'd be floundering
>>261657But you're one of the copers that can't ollie.You magical experience always interrupted by a curb.
I'm just saying it's something to do to pass the time, shit only gets cool when you get in the ZONE IFKYK but ye man I get same joy doing mad things, you just went all in on being a skater as a person you get mad and repeat the same old shit whateva
If someone posts a clip ill post a clip
>>261676last time i tried to convert an iphone vid to webm and post it here i got an error. idk if i used the wrong settings or format or what.

>>261688>dogshit mediocre skating>literally just a new balance shoe dropburn down this industry
>>261678What's the story with Mike V, how did he earn that copypasta? Is he generally disliked by other skaters?
>>261691About the pasta I don't know, but he has walked over a lot of burned bridges
I really like David Gravettes skating, but I wish all his board designs weren't complete dogshit. Fucking horrible graphics and colours that are 95% dudeweedlmao or fish. Being on Creature is the final nail in the coffin for my desire to buy one of his signature decks. In fact I hate 98% of all board graphics I see these days. Maybe it's time to get a blank deck to mirror my lack of personality and soul?
>>261721>Maybe it's time to get a blank deck to mirror my lack of personality and soul?Wouldn't it be less cookie cutter to do that and draw on it yourself?
WHY DIDN'T THESE GET POPULAR AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH! THEY'RE A PERFECT SOLUTION!
>>261723WHAT ARE THOSSSSSSSEEEEE
>>261724YOU SLIP THEM OVER YOUR SHOES AND THEY PREVENT WEAR.LITERALLY JUST WORKS, I WATCHED THE REVIEWS AND OF COURSE, WHY WOULDN'T IT?WHY CAN'T I BUY A TEN PACK OF SHAPED THIN RUBBER FOR A FEW BUCKS TO PRESERVE MY NICE SHOES??
Anybody ever skate chicago im going next month
>>261723shoe condom lol
>>261723The real perfect solution is replaceable soles and a cottage industry of skate shoe cobblers, but we do not live in a perfect world and the corpos would never allow it
>>261723unironically nyjahs>>261725i was thinking like for feel and texture>cloth (eg. vans, or those shoes that donate a pair for every pair you buy)this guy likes bleeding toe>suedefeels great, is durable will take a fair amount beating>finished leather (fake, think af1s,stan smiths ) suprisingly bangers insane durability and once you get through that coat of whatever the fuck and get to the real gray artifical leather shit by the time you burn through those payless bogo stan smith 1 you got pair 2 and you still saved a tenner on the cost of a regular pair
i'm thinking about trying to get into skateboarding again. i'm 28 and i used to skate as a yout. my question is about helmets. i have a mountain bike and i ride trails right now without a helmet which is pretty retarded. but, i can kind of justify buying a skate helmet if i could use it for my bike too, and then i wouldn't have a reason to not use a bike helmet.is there a helmet that kind of fits both roles or do they prioritize different things and i'm being retarded for trying to make one helmet pull double duty?
>>261736I imagine the flutes in the bike helmet would let alot more air flow through skate helmets are mostly buckets and besides the pads wicking sweat are pretty fucking hot
>>261677ducking>>261676uphold your end of the bargain
>>261730Yes, and?>>261731That sounds way more expensive than mass produced shoe condoms.>>261732I don't want my cool pair of circas to have ANY damage at all.
Why did no one post the latest kassohttps://youtu.be/Ju2ITxOWU18
>>261738Switch double flip???
>>261738u succ
>>261743No, our tranon does not suck.
>>261738Word.
>>261736i think skate helmets will give you more coverage on the back of your head, as you're a lot more likely to fall backwards on a skateboard than you are on a bike. so look for a full coverage helmet (not one of those top-of-the-head road bike helmets) if you want one to do double duty
>>261738>duckingnah, just a proto-boomer. impressive clip btw
>>261721i feel you. i'm a jhanka fan, but really not into creature graphics either.ngl this upcoming gravette board is growing on me despite my better judgement tho

Late stage kickflip learning, I just need to put both feet on the board and I fucking can't, it's been weeks at this stage as well. Not sure what I need to do differently. It's only stationary at this point just to get the flips right, but I feel I got them down about 90% of the time, I just need to plant those feet and no matter what I tell myself mentally, I can't seem to do it. What kind of mental trickery do you guys use to get yourself to go in fully on a trick attempt?
>>261822This stage may last up to a year, just keep trying little different things
>>261822cover my entire body in 6 inches of bubble wrap and let it rip
>>261822I'll pray for you
>>261822Are you actually above the board after it's rotation and quickly move your feet away last moment?
>>261822Make sure the boards rotate the way you want. Start with that.Send your front foot on a mission. Flick it fast. Like an ollie, you want pop and then work your front foot. It is an ollie trick after all. Pop and flick fast. The last piece of information is, like an ollie, your legs are wide and getting air.
>>261822>>261833Addition; your front foot, LIKE AN OLLIE, should extend towards the direction you are going. The height and direction of your front foot determines whether you will make good use of the pop. Both legs work in synergy.

>>261806>let’s see Paul Allen’s 360 flip
>>261824>This stage may last up to a yeargrim
>>261833>>261834He already knows how to flip it, he can't land because he's scared.He should probably do the opposite, do the kickflip as low and shitty as possible, like the ones you see little kids do with a skateboard as big as them.Fast and low so his feet have no time to go anywhere else.
>>261842>inb4 "erm that's not the right way"After he overcomes his fear of landing he'll go back to the proper form, which he has down from what I gather.
>>261820about the 17 min mark I realised it wasn't going to get any better and turned off. beginning was cool.

>>261829I filmed myself practicing for the first time and noticed that I'm not consistent with it. This >>261838 might actually be viable advice that I need to tell myself over and over next session. I also realised that I will often do 20-30 minute sessions that are pretty much non-stop attempts. I think I need to chill the fuck out and limit myself to like 10 attempts then rest for a bit before I try again.>>261833>>261834I think it's like anon says here >>261842 and it's a fear thing. Learning to land and commit will help me more at this stage.
>>261848>I'm not consistent with itstaying above the board I mean. Most attmepts are a mix of being above it properly and bailing anyway, and doing the old 'front foot plants as so as the flick is done' thing, so I don't even get a proper chance to attempt the land.
>>261848>>261849For some reason everyone gives kickflip advice as if they're teaching a slightly advanced intermediate to do it over an obstacle.Forget doing it like an ollie and flicking through the nose, get your front foot closer to the edge and flick off to the side of your trucks.Do it quick, do it low, it doesn't need much energy behind it. You won't even have time to bail.We're not trying to take flight here, we're trying to land our first kickflip, which of course will be shitty.
>>261852booo
I'm sure mitchie jewsco has a 5 step drill to fix this
>>261852There's no way in hell I'm doing off the side kicks just to land it, I have some dignity. I couldn't even count them as proper lands and I would be too ashamed to tell anyone even if I did land it like that. I don't want to compromise form just to land it, I want to land it with good form.
>>261856You're not compromising form, they're just easier and lower, like your first ollies. I bet you counted those.Anyway you're missing the point, it's just to get over your initial fear of landing.
https://youtu.be/UHS_4fl1y6c?is=NzqGcQDZJheobuZ-new tranny video. do you like when I post new tranny sk8 video or it is annoying? if so I'll stop. I don't want to annoy you huys
>>261859>I don't want to annoy youYes you do
>>261842>>261848Oh ok. Flicking it the way you want I found gave me confidence. When I lose them, I try to land each leg seperately until I find that I can actually do them. Hey I actually should try this last one with all flip tricks.
>>261856Yeah, but the anon wants to really help you, so give him some recognition at least.
>>261859It's not really annoying but I already see when she posts on my youtube and there isn't really anything to discuss
Bought my first skateboard a couple weeks ago with the idea of using it to make my walk to work more entertaining. The yard out back at work is pretty open and flat so sometimes I go in early and just cruise around out back. Had a few tries at an ollie today and desu it didn't go all that badly. I think I got off ground one try.

>>261865Nice. Make sure to practice stationary at home. Nollie and fakie 180 turns are also good practice.
>>260749Guys, I've been gaining weight and I just checked my form attempting rolling ollies with my phone and I look like a fucking butterball. I feel like shit, didn't think it'd got this bad. I thought I'd at worst maintain my weight while increasing my skate reps but apparently I can out eat the exercise, I wish I had a less stupidly sugar mad brain
>>261899I genuinely feel fit but when I look at a mirror bam stares back at me
>>261900Bam's skating well even as a fatass though.Anyways, just do fasting.
>>261852>We're not trying to take flight here, we're trying to land our first kickflip>We're >Ouryou can't kickflip either?
>>261908Yeah, I'm back on my cal. counting app
>>261916That's such a pain. I prefer OMAD (one meal a day).
>>261899>I wish I had a less stupidly sugar mad brainBan sodas. Forever. Sodas are how most of us build up a habit of basically always having a ridiculously sugary taste in our mouth throughout the day, at lunch, whenever we're going out, etc, and it also fucks up your brain into thinking that nothing tastes sweet unless it has fuck-you amounts of sugar in it.Even diet sodas are awful for that, as they keep you used to these habits and tolerance for sweetness.If you want to drink something other than water when eating outside, go for sparkling water but that's it.
Jock skaters are the best, they make fags seethe
>>261899>>261919Soda also has a fuckload of calories in it, so you can still gain a ton of weight despite not eating a lot because a few sodas a day double your caloric intake.
>>261916People obsessed with calorie counting are legitimately mentally unwell. You don't need to autistically track calories to lose weight. Plus, most calorie labels are misleading and never truly accurate. You can't 100% accurately track that shit, so why bother? Buy a few cookbooks of healthy food recipies, stop binge eating/drinking the processed shit every fucking day and do some cardio about 3 times a week. You WILL lose weight doing this and you won't have to count a single calorie. You can still treat yourself to pizza or soda etc., but it's all about moderation as with anything good in life. Just have those things as a treat on the weekend. If you stick to the plan the rest of the week, you will still lose weight. Calorie counting will only make you miserable - you end up like the retards from /fit/ having plain, unseasoned chicken plus a side of fucking broccoli or something for every fucking meal and the mere mention of carbs or sugar will become a jumpscare to you.
>>261928Good point
>>261916Yeah bro, stop feeding the algorithm.
>>261900same. that's what i get for drinking beer every night
>>261877Tbh it felt more comfortable practising it on concrete out back at work at a slow roll. I'll get it down for you senpai I promise.

beginner coming through for advice.recently bought my first real (not 2nd hand/shit condition) skateboard, and the trucks are quite loose. in contrast, the first one I had was really sluggish and tight. Willing to post cute animals for kind wisdom. with these new ones it feels like turning is a lot easier, but it's almost "too easy" (while barely moving) to sway toward different sides. How can I tell whether the trucks are too loose? My goal is currently just to learn how to ride around, keep good balance, and very slowly introduce manuals. (I know that stiffer trucks are better for tricks specifically) Is there a good middle-ground between loose and tight I should aim for, and if so how do I know once I found it? Secondly, I skate at a very small skate park, with spaces that aren't very big. It's a dumb question, but I am a noob, so I'll ask it anyway. How much space is required to make a 180 turn? (If I am moving VERY slowly or not at all I can with relative ease go up on the rear wheels and turn by skipping the front wheels over to the direction I want to shift towards, but it's for very low speed or standing still alone.) Even with the above mentioned loose trucks, I feel like I am turning too slowly - I can only very barely make 180 degree turns over the open area of about 2,5 meters in width, so I guess I'm asking whether the issue is that the space is actually too narrow, my trucks are (despite what I wrote above) not loose enough, or is it merely (most likely, duh) a skill issue?
>>261367I had extreme issues trying to manual until I got a bigger board, then the difficulty went from 8/10 to about 5/10. Now my issue is purely balance, not extremely finicky raising/lowering of my front leg.
>>261963This is some classic noob over-thinking, anon. My advice to you is to shut your brain off and don't overthink every tiny detail, especially that shit about measuring turning angles, that is a very odd thought to have. Just skate, enjoy it>Is there a good middle-ground between loose and tight I should aim for, and if so how do I know once I found it?I don't care what anyone says, this is something you just have to figure out on your own and you'll know what feels right to you by experimenting. You can get used to any tightness or looseness, it's literally preference, so the best thing to do is dedicate a session to tightening your trucks a few moderate turns, riding it a little, then doing it again and repeat/loosen until it feels right to you. Bushings can also make a difference here, and different brands have certain traits (thunders = responsive and turny, indy's = tighter and more controlled etc.) but I'll let some other anon talk about that if they want.
>>261965>different brands have certain traitsof trucks that is
>>261965thanks for the reply, since it's only my 2nd time skating this new board (used the first one a longer time) it's quite hard knowing what's genuinely not right and what's just me being a scrub. i'll keep at it, and if I keep getting stuck on something or pleateau I'll just investigate at that point, I guess.
>>261963>My goal is currently just to learn how to ride around, keep good balance, and very slowly introduce manualsDo that.>. (I know that stiffer trucks are better for tricks specifically) Is there a good middle-ground between loose and tight I should aim for, and if so how do I know once I found it?Do what feels comfortable and logicalto you for your level.

Anyone ride the weird in-between size decks? I keep changing my mind about whether I prefer 8.0 or 8.25, and I have an 8.125 Enjoi deck lying around that I kinda of forgot about, so was thinking of setting it up to see if it's the sweet spot middle ground. I've considered 8.38 instead of going straight up to 8.5 as well, just to see if it helps with transition at all.
Everytime I go to the skatepark I make friends with a minority yet the white boys fear me.
>>261963if you cant ride it tight it simple as
>>261969absolutely disgusting
>>261969tranny here, while i enjoy leo baker and hold him in favorable view due to his status as the only (to my knowledge) trans guy professional skater, song was wack and very baby transmasc, video name is corny, ender was mid and he kinda skates slow. he passes very well actually, the only clocky thing is his speed.
>>261988>kinda skates slow.no kinda about it, he skates fucking slow and it looks lame as hell, it's anti-hype to be going that slow for a video part and that song is actually fitting to match that speed. That is a video to watch if you want to demotivate yourself from going skating that day because you have other priorities or something.
>>261988>>261990Hey you bastards. I skate slow in the hood!

Are there any brands that make shorter decks? I'm only 5'7" with short legs, is there anything that's like a 29"-30" in length, without getting into those freestyle boards?
>>262013grow up
>>262013Get a Heroin board
>>262013Couldn't find anything, crazy.I guess you could mod it yourself, shorten the wheelbase yourself by drilling new holes, and take some length off the nose.
>>262016>>262018I did find a board that's 7.75, 13.5 wheelbase and and only 30.75” long. Only issue is that it has low concave.
>>262019Why are you against skating smaller decks anyway? I'm 5'11 and considering 7.5-7.75, I'm not liking my current 8.25. But maybe it's a length problem for me as well.
>>262019it's hard to find 775s with much concave desu
Think Jaws could skate this spot?
Anyone skates vert here?There's a really good vert ramp at my local skatepark that I really wanna get into, but it feels so goddamn huge. For now I've just been practicing pumping up & down and doing kickturns, but it's actually insane how high it feels, I feel like I have zero trust in my ability to stay on my board this high and coming back this fast from it. My legs always end up getting exhausted after a short time.I can do basic coping tricks on smaller ramps - rocks, axle stalls, tail stalls etc - but I can't for the life of me imagine doing anything on this ramp, it feels like trying to skate an actual wallIs it literally just a matter of habit or is there some trick to it?
>>262024Forgot to mention, but I'm struggling to actually even get to the "vert" part - if I'm pumping up and down I can't seem to get very high no matter how much effort I put into it
lumbago got me hard, lont time no see
I found me a Santa Cruz deck that's short, I think I'm going to buy it and try it out. I have never owned a Santa Cruz in my life.
unexpected kinda beast nollie flip i did tdy
