>>262353where can i get the real twin tail shape now that they moved manufacturing to china does bbs still sell it under a new name?
>>262353I'd rather post in this thread simply because the other one has a horrible OP image
>>262353I'd rather keep posting in the Simpsons thread until this one caps. I don't support autistic powertripping
>>262353Ronnie Sandoval has changed a bit..
anybody got a list of the different types of inverts
RIP Marc Johnson
>>262400F. Sudoku is lame tho.
>>262411*I hope it wasn't
So Marc definitely committed suicide, right? Either that or he was battling lung cancer in private but people saw him in person and he didn't look like he was dying I really think it was suicide
>>262427Now that I'm thinking about it, it might have been OD as well
>>262400I'm not that sad since I haven't seen dude in like 10 years. Oh well rip
So this means Marc is definitely not sending out my painting?
Retards speculating with less than zero information.Regardless, it's officially joever.Skateboarding is as lame as fruitbooting at this point.RIP

What’s the best skateboard to get if I’m just starting out. I’m trans btw if that matters.
>>262467Braille
>>262468
Which one do I buy?
>>262476idk
>>262467>>262468I saw the video where Corrigan reviews a braille complete, he thought it was good. It was also marked down a lot in wallmart.The only thing completes cheap out on are the trucks, and it's not like beginners will be doing any grinding.
>>262482Brialle get their boards from Paul Schmidt. so the decks are good. wheels generally don't matter. the bearings are also probably junk, but a set of Reds are bcheap so that's no matter.
>>262467>I’m trans btw if that matters.Stop being a poser.
>>262476Turns out the 93 Spitfires are actually 99, I'll buy the dragons now.
>>262390Invert-standardFrontside invert-self-explanatoryEggplant-Invert with the front handInvert Revert-Invert and revert to fakieElguerrial- like standard but rolling fakie into it first.

>>262428OD and sudoku are basically the same thing.I think he was planing the self-annihilation for a while. He was visiting old friends and all.
nijah again in the hospital, is there a clip?
if it weren't for Tony Hawk this candycornian pass-time would be dead and buried, but instead we have an entire cottage industry centered around convincing kids to huck themselves into a life of accelerated joint pain and no retirement benefits.
Niggas just need to apply for Medicaid
noone writes kino suicide notes anymore
Shit is so gay how the industry tries to keep deaths all secretive
>>262462it's pretty obvious it was either suicide or od
>>262513No, hold on, actually what I described as Miller flip is called Deadman.
Suicide is gay unless you have some crazy disease I don't know what he was goin through but major emo vibes going on
>>262522Nyjahs fucking retarded he should retire
skateboarding is fun :)
>>262467>>262493show prescription kook
Fuck it, I'm bringing back 7.75s by myself
>>262541Based.Niggas be recommending 8.25s and their arsenal of tricks is ollies, shuv its and "maybe kickflips".

>>262618do it faggot
>they still think it's about "tricks"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGdrhH7Cplo
broken elbow update (3 weeks later): tiny non-displaced fracture of the radial head. even with minimal shit like this doc said to expect to lose full range of motion/extension of arm. which is lame but could have been worse. avoided surgery and pins and nasty shit like that. probably going to throw on an elbow pad and get back out there in the next week or two. don't think there's any danger of exacerbating the injury, but if i go down i really can't brace myself with that arm so i'd probably face plant lol. /blog
>>262641>>262618>>262596welcome to the midlife crisis skate club, beware your shitty old bones may break during mellow falls now
>>262640>hang tens>G turns>360s>heelers>hippie jumps>bertlemansthere were some tricks in there
>>262641Also your back muscles will have to adjust to your arm not fully helping with balance now.
>>262640That's some goofy goober shit.We should all thank Mullen for the ollie.
>>262543I was skating 7.75 when I was a kid but couldn't go below 8.5 now that I'm a 6'4" 180lbs adult>>262548I have a bunch of tricks that I barely land but are excellent to have to make people seethe in a game of skate like nollie hospital flip or fakie lazer flip but they're not nice to look at. I'm more proud of my frontside shove-it, I can throw that shit anywhere, down some stairs, high up on a quarter, into a manual and off a manual, fat and steezy or sharp and quick... Can't your "best trick" be the one you enjoy most? I hate to see a guy waste six miserable months to land a disappointing dolphin flip that he'll never use in a line
>>262652>8.5 now that I'm a 6'4" 180lbs adultThat's reasonable considering your size, though.
>>262652>that he'll never use in a lineNot if he doesn't keep practicing it.
>>262400I had no idea he was the one who donated the switch flip switch manny loop to the nine club
>>262641>>262642Yeah, I had hip surgery a year and a half ago and I can't skate if it's going to rain within the next couple days because it gets so sore.Getting old sucks and all you can do is work around your ever shrinking framework.
>>262669Take it easy dude. You're not geriatric.
Hesh vs fresh, what side you on?
>>262675Who?
>>262675i am not hesh, but enjoy watching hesh skating more than le tech switch flippy flippy boys
>>262677True I am fresh but I like watching hesh
>>262675It's all skateboarding.
>>262675i don't care as long as they GO FAST
>>262642Pro Tip: don't get fat and this is exponentially less likely to happen
>want to watch skateboarding on Youtube>it's 99% all faggy park riders
>>262548does it have to be best ever?backside flippretty washed with the abuse my knee has seen lately so probably an ollie or halfcab maybe
finally landed the world's tiniest ollie todaypushing and cruising is becoming a lot more comfortable. even getting more confident with sidewalk cracksskateboarding feels awesome
>>262548Accidental switch heelflip,I didn't even have regular heels down, I don't know what compelled me to try it.
>>262700Congrats, were you moving or stationary?
>>262700Have you busted your ass yet

>>262656overcomplicated flip tricks that will never leave flat ground can never look good even if you're an autistic savant like Rodney Mullen. It's the worst part of skateboarding actually>>262704accidental tricks are always memorable. the only time in my life that I rolled out of an unintentional fakie disaster in a big bowl was pure luck with a dash of "don't die now" reptilian brain, shit was so cash
>>262691Sour 3,3 & Quasi Hard Reset on repeat for me lately
>>262541Funny, my new setup is a 775 as well. These size decks are always discounted so it's a win win
>>262728Been watching old lurknyc vids, they're comfy
>>262733You think 54mm wheels would work with a 7.75? I want to try them
Just curious, as someone who's never really been to skateparks and mainly practices flat ground, how good are most people at the parks? I want to go but I'm intimidated and embarrassed because I'm not really consistent with my tricks and a heelflip is the only flip trick I can do.
>>262744>how good are most people at the parks? I wliteral dogshit, like not landing a kickflip 20 times in a row kinda bad
>>262744Highly dependent on where you live. Places like California and NYC are going to have a much higher concentration of rippers.>I'm intimidated and embarrassedDon't be. Think about it like you are going to the gym. Everyone is there to just do their thing and have fun. Don't make it bigger than it is. Its just skateboarding.
>>262747This. Im often the best at my local and I am not much above this tier..
>>262760Which reminds me, skateparks are too damn gnarly. Give us some more mellow shit to learn on.
>>262742i rode 56s on mine. 54s will be fine
>>262726>dash of "don't die now" reptilian brainthis fuels all my best moments in the pool like when instinct overrides thought its just such an awesome moment>>262742you can always use risers but i generally got away with 56s on an 8 to 8.5 without risers using overly soft bushings and indies, caveat i did occasionally wheelbite but just overrode it with momentum>>262744everyone starts somewhere, and the other responses ring true
Just found out Marc Johnson died RIP. I liked his part in Fully Flared
>Watching Japanese and Chinese skate vids>Girl skaters>They're decent>Most importantly they are actually girlsFeels nice
>>262789Yea ruby lilly is cool
>>262744Mad that you haven't been to a skatepark, but can do a flip trick. You probably should have gone well before this point. I went to the skateparks to learn, indoor and outdoor, and I still haven't landed my first flip trick. I can ollie real nice, flow around the transition well and go really fast, though, which is more fun.
>>262543it's quite a bit easier to kickflip a wider board
>>262705stationary - baby steps>>262707not really, a few falls but so far i've been bailing successfully
Is the standard Anti-hero eagle decks any good for mannys and nollies, or are they too mellow and pointy?
I'd rather watch shit like this than trannies ripping
>>262845Whoops forgot video now I can't find it, was hot girls sucking at skating
what's a tailboned Melon/Lein called?
>>262858Um, hwhut ? Do you mean a method grab? A tweaked melon?
What's the raddest trick you guys have ever seen?
>>262861you know how with a Melon you bone out your front leg to get the board ahead of you? what if you bone your rear leg out to get the board behind you. like you would a Stalefish, but with your leading hand rather than your rear hand.
>>262726>It's the worst part of skateboarding actuallyIt's the best part, actually.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyqJWofmzu4If it wasn't for flip tricks skateboarding would be a boring niche hobby.
>>262865Um? Like a Tuck grab?
>>262886yes boning to the rear, but grabbing backside with the leading hand rather than frontside with the trailing.
>>262887Crossbone?
>>262888no, like a Melon boned to the tail. dunno why you are struggling with the image
>>262889that's called kiwi (I made that up)
Do skateboarders have lower average lifespan?
>>262894Id be surprised if I make it to 50Cuz I did mad drugs
>>262353Namaste anons? Radical weather out there yo. Nothin like sparking a fat J and hitting up the vert. That's what its all about, cali lifestyle baby. Zero or die.PS. has anyone got any tips for dealing with skateboarding when you get older yo? it deadass be gnarly on the knees though! it got me whole ass DEAD rn!
>>262902Sick dude
>>262902you know its fucking sad that ai wrote this worse yet that i can detect it
>>262902fucking sloposting im gonna end it all
imagine trying to crank on your pecker when u got the fucked up gabriel summers thumb
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03B9UaCGYoUWhy do so many random girls get sponsored by Nike and Adidas so easily when we have trannies ITT better than there entire female roster? Are these companies transphobic? Are they not an ally?
>>262913Nike is an ally, they sponsor Ginwoo.
>>262889this thumbnail looks pornographic
>>262902duuuuuuuuuude
>>262889gayyy>>262915ginwoo is a boymoder
>>262889I think that's called lien air
>>262940a Lien is just a BS grab with a FS spin, like how an Indy is a FS grab with a BS spin.
Japan is best grab I be doin it in skate vibeo game
>>262948I've played Skate for 19 years and never saw anyone else do Japans, Mutes, or Stalefishesa lot of people didn't know they were in THPS too by double tapping the D pad before hitting circle. like, left-left-circle was a mute from what I remember
>>262953>a lot of people didn't know they were in THPS toothose people were missing vital parts of the brain, then.
If you do grabs of any kind you are gay.
>>262956>t. never been more than three feet off the ground
So who else here got into skating from playing THPS?Bought the sickest birdhouse complete back when THPS2 first came out and it's so well made that I still use it to this day. No idea why people even consider other brands cause mine has never snapped (lol you must be so shit if your board snaps) no tail razoring, barely a scratch on it, graphics almost pristine, prob got at least another 10 years of life left even though I rip up my local with that bad boy almost every other month.I remember when I was first learning ollies in the bottom of the halfpipe and I could barely get the tail off the ground, but I had a secret technique to improve quickly. Every time I made an attempt I would shout 'X!' (like the button to ollie in THPS). It kept my timing and gave me the confidence to keep trying. Sometimes I would spend all day in there shouting it over and over. Let me tell you, it paid off, cause my ollie is fucking solid, probably about as high as 3 or 4 skill points. I still shout X when I ollie to this day and I never bail. I've seen some of the local fuckhead kids laughing at me when I show up at the park and do my warm up ollies, but they soon shut FUCK up when I do a slappy 180 boardslide crook (overhang) first try. And yeah, in case you're wondering, I do shout TRIANGLE for every grind and you better believe I land that shit like a dream everytime, never needed wax. In my mind I see the balance bar from THPS and I just mentally adjust it to keep it centered and it works every time. I fucking love landing high scoring tricks in front of girls especially cause I imagine them like the Neversoft girls you have to impress in THPS3 and it makes me skate better. They definitely stare at me no matter what park I go to, they always stare and giggle at me like flirty like. Everyone knows girls love skaters though. Pretty sure I overheard one of them say I was as good as rodney mullen once and I def have the same skate style (we both ride switch goofy) so makes sense.
>>262959I started skating cause I saw a cool ass dude riding one, just so happens thps comes out like a year later, perfect timing, that era was goated
>>262948for me its the benihana
>>262953Tweaked grabs were a pain in the ass in that game
>>262913lol you're a seething tranny who is still worse than her despite being a male. what trannies ITT are any better than her? she is better than that asian /ttt/ one and probably better than 99% of men in this thread
>>262973Hope she sees this bro.
>>262974seriously ridiculous. Yea the part is dragged out it should be cut down to 2 minutes. some pretty mid tricks in there. But lets see even your Oria trans girl pop shuv an 8 stair.. Manual to revert to fakie manual. Back 5050 that hubba down the double set. A couple tricks in there are better than whatever the trannies you guys watch do. They mostly just lack male power/pop
JUDO AIR
>>262979>your Oria trans girlshe posts here
>>262984you wish
Dont you know we are all famous trannies now
>>262984I've read every esg post you invented this in your mind
>>262979She isn't going to have sex with you anon give up
>>262979>mentions tricks not even in the videoThat manual was a VIIIOOOOLATIIIOOONNNNN she scraped her tail for like 5 frames so not even close to a completed trick. The pop shuv is mid and the stairs small and that hubba she ollied onto the flat ledge its another non trick and any anon here with 5 months of skating could stand on their board and go down that ledge from there.. straight simpin
>>262979>They mostly just lack male power/popyeah desu
>>263002>>262999not simping. my point is shes better than any of the trannies who post ITT. I didn't even know who she was till it was posted here.
>>262515>I think he was planing the self-annihilation for a whileWhat made Marc get so depressed was he really dying or something much worse?
>>263010if you listen to that burnett interview he was dealing with some real shit
>>263011nta but just tell us.. I heard his childhood was rough but seemed skating got him away from that
I got this sick looking board today. Going to throw my old hardware and new bearings on it
The new board is complete. This guy here lasted a few years past his expiration date, but damn did he ride. Up on the wall you go o7
>>263017do people ever talk to you at skateparls
>>263018I bet, I would gift they one of my anime stikers instantly
>>262959Nah I was already skateboarding and a friend lent me his THPS2 CD-ROM (haven't given it back it's been 20 years but hey the man changed school and stopped inviting me over). It made me discover RATM and Lootpack and other musicians that I still love though. Great game. That being said you definitely do not skate at all and need more people telling you to shut the fuck up.>>262956>never gone above the copinglel, pedestrians
why a shuvs girls(actual girls) favorite trick?
>>263021I justk now you're 260lbs, ride a 8.7+ shaped deck, and wear a helmet, kneepads and wrist guards.
>>263024My post implies that I was already skating 20 years ago and that I grab my board when catching air. Your post implies that you like to imagine overweight homos in your free time.
>>263025You're fat.
>>263020giwtwm
>>263026No, you're the non-skating fatty, not me, don't get it twisted. And you're a faggot as well, that's double sin right there, a heinous fat faggot who never had to grab a board doing a backside air.
I'm fat and proud
>>263018never
reminder
>>262991Yewwwwwww, as long as I can skate and love
>>262948I've been trying to grab mute for years
>>262942Yeah. So I don't know. Just your style of lien airs
>>263017KEK, sick. Did you black out the local skateshop/crew stickers? Love you anonito
>>263014i dig>>263017>advertising your power levellol
>>263019wots that avery bit referring to
>>263026>>263036actually im the non-skating fatty
>>263047What power level is that? Pedo power?
>>263046>Did you black out the local skateshop/crew stickersYou know it LOL>Love you anonitoLove you too faggot>>263047>advertising your power levelWhat I do is subtle compared to how some of these new guys dress. I saw one with a furry tail, jnco jeans, and rave kandi on. What the fuck are these kids dressing for? How different do they need to be? I get slapping some leftover stickers on what you have but going out of your way to dress all stupid like that is something else man
>>262467>What’s the best skateboard to get if I’m just starting out. I’m trans btw if that matters.Get a girl board with the female restroom symbol, ironically and unironically.
Picked up a landyachtz dinghy classic complete (63mm 78a fatty hawgs) for just 12 dollars at a thrift shop the other day. The dinghy classic board is closer to 7.75 despite the wheels bringing it closer to 8 wide, but luckily those are the sizes I like to skate.Anyone ever fuck with their dinghy?
does no one itt ride a decent board ffs
>>263074What do you ride?
Everyone, post your board
>>263077I swear it was the cheapest 8.5 one on my local
>>263078Yeah, I can see why
>>263074I don't take pics of my set up often. This one I skated 3 or 4 decks ago
>>263077Built for enjoying those curves, not for grinding
I’m thinking about buying a helmet and pads just to learn vert since all the shit in my area is concrete.I can do stairs and other street shit but only basic vert stuff like pivots and drop ins and just carving it, but everything harder than that legit feels terrifying.I also slammed my head on a random ass carve on a qp out of a blue and had a nasty TBI for a week.
>>263090Neat.So what did you want to do again?
>why yes i’m a skinnyfat boomer faggot that can’t kickflip that does a few drop ins before talking to all the underage children in the local how could you tell?
>>263091Grinds and stalls for starters, but honestly flyouts as anything that goes on/over the coping feels borderline suicidal for the level i’m skating at.
>>263095lol what scared of flyouts? ur landing on flatland outside of the ramp. I get airing back in but flyouts?
>>263097I don’t mean the vert to flat, i meant getting air and landing back fakie and 180s and stuff like that.
>>263068can't beat that price bro. never fw landyachtz in general because of how lame the fuckin name is, but that board looks like something i'd enjoy (as a fatty no-trick cruiseboy). congrats on the find
>>263077Haven’t skated right yet, just put new wheels, bearings, bushings, and risers on it
>>263086Dig this
>>263090Pad up and stop overthinking it. You can always drop pads once you get comfortable and the maneuvers become second nature.
>>263098ohhh ok. well flyout is the term for that. U just mean proper airs
