>>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.

>>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

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
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?
>>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
I'm going to say it.. I'm not scared anymore... Neen Williams' heelflips look gross.
>>263108Well anything coming from that unwashed hippie is gross but I checked and indeed those are nasty as fuck, a heelflip can be just as smooth as a kickflip, cool, relaxed, lofty, effortless, he looks like he's trying to karate kick a cockroach off of his board, shit's ridiculous. Anyone have a nice video to wash my brains from that horrendous sight ?
>>263109he has a multitude of "Cooking With" type videos to cleanse your palate :D
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sL6lsY-3DJspraise Jah

>>263084Kinda cool
>>263086Haha nice one

>>263094calm down missy
This is gonna drive me nuts.Who's part had unit 01 from Evangelion shooting a gun for a split second?
>>263126axe an algorithmic interpolator
How does /xs/ feel about the creation of the scootering thread?I for one hope we get more variations like a longboardergen for myself
>>263138it made me realise scooting is what skating use to be, no girls or trannies or corporate influence, just bros hanging doing tricks n shit.
>get email showing new decks>really like new decks>absolutely do not need new decks>have like 8 decks in my closet i have yet to get toi have a sickness
>>263143>8 decks in my closet i have yet toI just had a similar board and really liked it i think i got uhh 2 in the plastic of the same size and one thats pretty minty the others usually have some delamination from smashing or made a kind of squeaky crack that i didnt like and they got shelfed, kind of a decent sized shim for random shit i just dont let my current board get rained on and they rarely see that much abuse but certain ones do the 8.5 series are the rain board so those are soggy but last alot longer between intervals I wonder if i let the soggy 8.5s dry in the garage will they ever regain their lost pop or just be soggy forever
>>263145soggy boards regain their pop if you cum on them and use a hair dryer to bake it in. takes about 6 months though
>>263142lmao shut up faggot
>>263148You just hating cause of scooter kids? The kids at my local rip the 12' bowl sending backflips in the deep end and shit. One day a kid walked by with his black friend and one of them yelled at the top of his lungs "hey xyz, why are you hanging with a nigger?!"
>>263149so theyre autistic?
>>263149backflips are impressive but ugly and crunge im sorry you have 14 yo brain>>263149know because scooters are in the + section of lgbtq+, how do you tell any grown adult that you scooter without a level of shame
>>263142https://youtu.be/BaG-ZQhSRBY?t=8no trannies just chas enjoying the moment"corprate influence" your such a faggggggggg let girl skaters have jobs. wonder what the pay gap is (compared to dudes of similar level not nyjah)
>>263154Hating people because they ride a scooter is 14 yr old brain, when you grow up you won't give a shit what anyone does>>263155>"corprate influence" your such a fagggggggggYou're a bigger fag than any scooter kids and I am not watching that video
>>263142Haha, great troll my friend! Mind if I save it?
>>263011Which vid was that really?
>>263161https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3Pz1TbMR6g
Oria is such a gooner
>>263168no time stamp?>>263171yeah I noticed that too. Iiterally did picrel and then closed the tab yesterday. im fine with girls skating obviously but that whole "er mah gurd im so cute im like a white trash girl skating really trash spots its so cuute im soo cute" -_______-
>>263177>im fine with girls>white trash girlIt's not a girl
>>262353my kickflips are so weird, ive been getting back into skateboarding inconsistently, and like occasionally ill land a boned out kickflip, but most of the time i cant land them>>262467hey im trans too, just get a basic street board from a skateshop, theyll be veriations, like more concave or whatever but just ask for a basic 8.25 or 8.5 board, shop decks are usually pretty basic, but anyways the people at the shop will know if you just ask for a standard board, 8.5
>>262467also get spitfire formula 4s for wheels, and independent trucks
>>262513ive been skatebòardjng shince i was 8 and i dont know what any of the tricks arw called, i do some spinny trick and they go "nice tre!" and im just look back at thwm confuse "huh???"
>>263181why are there multiple trannies, you guys are in MY territory
>>263179he or they or she sucked so much i just assumed it was an actual girl. It used to be that trannies were hella good.
>>263184Nigga Jerry has a tranner on his team u r in trannyland
>>263171serious fan service closeups of ass and cleavage now, off-putting but that's what pays the bills i'm sure
>checks scoot thread>zero tranny talkhmmmmmm
>>263205>off-putting but that's what pays the bills i'm sureNobody wants to see that.As a chud I shan't be watching anymore, whereas before I'd watch out of curiosity when someone posted a video ITT.
>>263181>skates 8.25-8.5>can only land "maybe kickflips"The memes got another one.
>>263190>Nigga Jerrywhich enjoi ad was that?
>>263209We are rollerbladers now
bowl bro machismo is so cringe. unironically those guys are "raped" in a metaphorical sense, while the frog style trannies were raped literally. Dressing the same (dickies, vans, anti hero, etc.), skating the same (aggro style), same degenerate lifestyle (alcoholism, tats, living in filth), all this is far more "raped" than being a gay frog kid. Bowl bros have no chance of breaking out of that lifestyle, especially if theyre deep in it. Sad.
>>263242>frog style>gay frog kidWhat's that?
>>263219Yeah idk. I learned kickflips on a 7.75, but have been riding 8.25+ since I was teenager and my kickflips are butter for the most part. Maybe its a leg strength thing.
>>263209so fuck off and don't come back
>>263246just go on youtube and search frog skateboards and watch some of their videos
>>263242i mean the frog skaters themselves are mostly pretty chill. jesse alba is not a faggy tranny at all. Their brand just panders to that audience a lot
>>263259 jesse alba is not chill at all
>>263261why not? hes a fag?
30 dollar farmers market score. Shake Junt grip on the other side too.
jesse albe is worse than a tranny, fat and cringe
>>263263hes just a demented little freak. not what I would describe as chill. chris millic is chill.
>>263068Can you please inspect the truck hanger pivots for molding defects?>>263138IIRC a few years ago there were maybe 2 startup longboard generals that showed some promise but they eventually fell by the wayside due to lack of general engagement.
>>263264nice, whats the width?
skaters have so many rules>nooooo you can't like that>nooooo you can't do that>noooooooo you can't wear thathave you ever stopped to think maybe we are the fags
>>263255I'm just saying it's not good as a general recommendation, more needs to be taken into-wait a minute.FOR THE MOST PART!?
>>263272i just meant in chill as not a tranny hippie

>>263305they have power over you maybe
>>263291>>263184Sick, I've liked every sci fi board I've tried. Good wood and shapes.
>>263314I think you mean the entire industry
>>262889i was fapping to this thumbnail, i opened it once i finished and now i feel bad
>>263014why does it have wheel wells, everything about this board makes me feel uncomfortable
>>263086aesthetic and i don't realy know whyt
>>263279It’s an 8
>>263360I'm skating a Polar board I got on sale that has wheel wells. Total gimmick, but I used it as an excuse to get bigger wheels.
>>263349Not really, no.
>>263375>used decks stackbased. I do the same thing.
Was gonna get a zip zinger but I'ma fix my ps5 instead this month, I'm on a fixed income
>>263376It's called a quiver
>>263380>quiveroh I thought it was just a stack of broken and used up decks. I may be an old head, but I've never been into having more than 1 set up.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpqOkM6cqno [Embed]>701. hard triple flip>711. 360 quadruple flip>739. 360 flip late double flip>740. 540 double flip>768. varial triple flip body varialIt's all insane, these in particular are more basic but display immense power while the others are also super impressive and technical. How do you even conceive of these tricks.
>>263385yeh but can he 360?
Is it fair to say that these tricks are the core of modern flat ground skating:>Ollies>Manuals>180's/360's>Pop Shoves>Kick flips>Heel flips>Tre flipsFeels like most people want to do these or watch other people do these really well (off things, into grinds etc.) and outside of that it doesn't matter so much and becomes more personal preference (like jamie griffin doing his 540 Mc flippy doo's). tranny/bowls and grinds are their own thing, but grinds are definitely the other core aspect that goes hand-in-hand with the above.
>can land shit all week>put on old shoes>get everything first try
>>263385It's all gross looking
>>263414Objectively not true.You can say that about Mullen like a guy did itt but that just doesn't apply here, it's pure steez throughout.
>>263385Ywah i dont guve a fucl about dis
>>263424>it's pure steezbad taste
Fatty villiani starting his own brand
>>263430Shitposting contrarian.
>>263429>"lol u tk him 2da bar|?"Extremely low quality post.
>>263414...said by all vert guys for the EMB crew
>>263424My man half those tricks are bouncing off the ground before he catches them.
>people are unironically defending jamie griffins skatinglol
people defending the greatest flatground skater ever lived Jamie Griffin? really?
>>263382it is just a stack of broken and used decks mostly. there is 1 board under that with soft wheels and then all the rest are old decks
>>263385crazy how he can do all this shit, but his video parts he can hardly actual skate. max rodney mullen freestyle autism.
>>263424>>263430>>263432nah that dude is not shit postinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrR0uuSWxnUwatch this guys video parts its cringe as hell.
>>263466Why does he skate so slow? Why does he look like he's never stepped on a board before when he pushes? Why does he struggle with noseslides so much?
>>263467its just freestyle autism. practicing ur triple flips stationary in ur moms garage is mostly about technique. Where actual street skating and going fast takes a lot of actual balance and proper board control.
>>263467>>263468for example i think someone could learn to tre flip kickflip etc with skate stoppers in their living room without ever actually riding a skateboard. Freestyle tricks are pretty independent of actually being good at SKATING, thats why u hear people give newbies advice on here constantly to stop rushing ollies and kickflips etc. Let's see you do a backside powerslide on some tricky terrain at high speed instead. That matters more when it comes to actually looking good on your board then doing a tripple hardflip at 1mph or whatever
>>263469like think of yo yos or kendama tricks. Thats pretty much the aspect of skating that he is focusing on, and learning as many tricks as possible instead of maximizing how a few tricks look. You can learn 100 tricks and land them, or learn 1 trick and tweak the technique of this 1 trick until the trick looks exactly how you want it to.
>>263466>9 yr old part>its cringeyou are ghe biggest faggot in this general and we have several trannies
>>263471oh shit my bad I just woke up and didn't notice that.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5NK_TaJELIyea he looks way better nowadays
>>263470who gives a fuck.. he picked his lane and is very good at it
>>263473His skill is undeniable. I just don't care for his genre of skating
>>263465>>263468>>263469>freestyleYou're retarded.>someone could learn to tre flip kickflip etc with skate stoppers in their living roomYeah, SOMEONE certainly could, out of how many? People can't even ollie. When was the last time you flipped your board? Try just flipping a double flip hardflip, not triple like he did, try just flipping a quadruple without the 360 rotation like he did, landing is out of the question obviously, just try flipping them. You're out of touch. >Let's see you do a backside powerslide on some tricky terrain at high speed instead. That matters more when it comes to actually looking good on your board then doing a tripple hardflip at 1mph or whateverNobody's replaying a powerslide on a video you joker, it's not even as impressive as a basic flip trick.You make it sound like it's a choice people have to make, between a powerslide and a hard triple flip.No nigger, most people aren't learning one flip hardflip, let alone double, let alone triple, that's the whole point.>You can learn 100 tricks and land them, or learn 1 trick and tweak the technique of this 1 trick until the trick looks exactly how you want it to.Again what are you even talking about? Why are you making this about yourself/us? Nobody is going to run into this issue because most aren't getting that good.Besides it's not even true, do you think someone who learns to tre flip or double flip could have a bad kickflip? That somehow developing the strength and dexterity required to add extra rotations/flips will hinder the more basic tricks? Watch his 1-100 video and see how your theory holds up. How much more perfect can your pop shuv it look anyway? Challenge yourself.This is some sour grapes shit.>I chose to do powerslides instead of hard triple flips
now lets see him drop the mini ramp
>>263486kekHe's spent so much time doing flippy doos I bet his rock fakie has no steez, if he can do it at all.
>>263485im talking about beginners in here complaining they can't ollie/kickflip. But yea I went and watched some old video part on accident. Seeing the 1000 tricks or whatever he is skating at more speed and with much more style. >Nobody's replaying a powerslide on a video you joker, it's not even as impressive as a basic flip trick.Nah doing a backside powerslide at decent speed while hill bombing def takes more skill than a basic flip trick I gotta hard disagree there. If its a gnarly hill that shits more impressive to me than a switch tre or whatever.>You make it sound like it's a choice people have to make, between a powerslide and a hard triple flip. thats geared to beginners who complain about their kickflip all day when it would be way more productive to skate around. You'll be way more balanced on your board and learn the shit way easier too. Also flip tricks are freestyle tricks. Especially if ur just doing them in a flat parking lot. Tons of people can tre flip yet still have an ugly kickflip. Don't get me wrong I think this guy actually has a lot of good style I just watched that old stupid video of him when he sucked sloppily doing his dolphin flips or whatever. He's obviously crazy good and you can't deny it>>263487ur crazy strawman shit is cringe man... More equivalent for his skill level would be a switch back nose blunt or something not a rock to fakie
>>263490either way I still think hes pretty cringe but yea his flatland autism is impressive. Im looking at his instagram and he literally does what I said before. Skates a lot stationary on a rug. I don't see him combine his tech flip tricks with hard balance manual tricks at all either, but feel free to prove me wrong and send me clips of some impressive manny tricks from him. https://www.instagram.com/p/CxQq0ETNLw_/the only tranny trick since u wanna talk about rock to fakies is some flippy into a ugly front rock lol. Not my thing at all and yea I think its gay if u watch this shit, but his flat is pretty impressive and he has style to it. Not a style im a fan of and i ll never watch the guy again since im not into taking freestyle autism this far and find it pretty cringe, but I never said freestyle autism didn't take skill. Just like yo yo tricks and kendama still take skill its just gay nerdy freestyle type skating to me and im allowed to have that opinion. It isn't sour grapes shit at all. That would inform I would want to skate like this guy and I would never want to. I'd much rather skate like jeremy klein or gonz personally.
>>263486no its scary
>>263490>thats geared to beginners who complain about their kickflipWhy are we talking about/to them? We're discussing a skater, do they need reassurance after seeing him?>it would be way more productive to skate around.Who are these people that aren't skating around? Riding around is fine but it won't land your first kickflip.>ur crazy strawman shit is cringe man... More equivalent for his skill level would be a switch back nose blunt or something not a rock to fakieThat was a sarcastic callback to your posts comparing a hard triple flip to powerslides and RIDING AROUND AND BALANCING>Im looking at his instagram and he literally does what I said before. Skates a lot stationary on a rug.So? What do you have against rugs? It doesn't look "cool" to practice? Seems like hard work and discipline go against your image of skateboarding.>kendamaThe difference is you can pick up kendama, you, without your skateboard, wouldn't even be able to jump high enough to allow for a skateboard to do all the things that guy makes it do.>Also flip tricks are freestyle tricks. Especially if ur just doing them in a flat parking lot.But not in the middle of a line, right? Then it's cool, unless it's too complex?, you just arbitrarily dislike complex tricks, even when they're done well which was you prerequisite before. So where do you draw the line? At what point do flip tricks go from acceptable to cringe gay autism? Does it coincide with your own skill level?>I don't see him combine his tech flip tricks with hard balance manual tricks at all either, but feel free to prove me wrongThat's hilarious, you're right these NBDs haven't been combined into further NBDs.But you know I bet some autistic kid will see his videos and make that a reality someday, hopefully they never come across your posts, not that you'd be able to dissuade an autist.Thank God for autists in their garages and on their carpets.
>>263502>Why are we talking about/to them? We're discussing a skater, do they need reassurance after seeing him?I'm not discussing a skater. I was discussing this type of skating and why I think its lame.>Who are these people that aren't skating around? Riding around is fine but it won't land your first kickflip.People in this thread who practice kickflips in their house on the carpet. Yea You're right people are fine to skate whatever way they want, but I'm also fine to think its gay and boring and not cool and talk shit on it.>That was a sarcastic callback to your posts comparing a hard triple flip to powerslides and RIDING AROUND AND BALANCINGI was never comparing them. I was simply saying In my opinion its better to get better at actual skating. Not yoyo tier precision freestyle tricks. >So? What do you have against rugs? It doesn't look "cool" to practice? Seems like hard work and discipline go against your image of skateboarding.Insane strawman. I'd rather see someone use hard work and discipline to practice something cooler. Why is it such a problem to you that I think this type of skating is lame??>The difference is you can pick up kendama, you, without your skateboard, wouldn't even be able to jump high enough to allow for a skateboard to do all the things that guy makes it do.Yea its less nerdy than an actual kendama or yo yo. But It's a comparison to show that his focus is on doing lots of different tricks. The opposite would be someone doing a huge basic grab on a megaramp. I'm not big into megaramp skating but I'd still be more jealous of the megaramp guy.
>>263502>>263513cont>But not in the middle of a line, right? Then it's cool, unless it's too complex?, you just arbitrarily dislike complex tricks, even when they're done well which was you prerequisite before. So where do you draw the line? At what point do flip tricks go from acceptable to cringe gay autism? Does it coincide with your own skill level?I mean I like street skating because its a mixture of freestyle and vert tricks being applied to street locations with an edgy badass cool vibe? I never watch megaramp skating or this guy, and I'd rate watching megaramp higher than him. Also I wasn't the guy who said his tricks look like shit that was someone else in this thread. I said he does a pretty good job at doing these obscure tricks with style. Not my taste in style but pretty good, I'd just rather watch a skater who is more balanced than just super good at freestyle tricks. I don't like watching freestyle at all it's always been the most cheesy 80s part of skateboading to me. >That's hilarious, you're right these NBDs haven't been combined into further NBDs.I'm just saying man its boring to me and shows his lack of balance. Don't get me wrong it takes a shitload of hours and practice to do these technical movements for these flip tricks. I just have no interest in it and I don't get why you take so much offense to it. Why do you care so much that I think this shit is gay?>But you know I bet some autistic kid will see his videos and make that a reality someday, hopefully they never come across your posts, not that you'd be able to dissuade an autist.Thank God for autists in their garages and on their carpets.I mean if you're autistic that makes sense why you love this shit. If you want to spend your time doing flip tricks on your carpet like him all day so do it. I'm still gonna talk shit in here about it but don't take it too personally It's cool that there are different types of skating for everyone. Like music or any other art.
>>263502Anyway man since you like autismo skating im wondering what your opinion is on todd falcon. This shit is skate autism to the maxhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1iNhYyRxnshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxleLFkTXxsminiramp instead of flatland though
Looking at slap and I found a comment that is very similar to the idea I was having of him. Skill toy yea that makes perfect sense. Obviously takes more power, but less hand eye coordination than some of these skill toys. Don't get me wrong he has amazing feet eye coordination and powerful ankles to be pulling off this type of shit so cleanly. It's just not to me what I Like about skating and more of using the skateboard as a pure skill toy
hahahahahahahahaha
>>263517>Skill toy yea that makes perfect senseWhy don't you try tennis?
>>263468>actual street skating and going fast takes a lot of actual balance and proper board controlWhile that is true, freestyle is as much part of skateboarding as pools.
>>263520>While that is true, freestyle is as much part of skateboarding as pools.yea you're not wrong. its just dorky to me.>>263519>Why don't you try tennis?I have no clue what ur trying to say here>>263516anyway fuck todd falcon forgot how hilarious this shit isI'm listening to his terrible nu metal band right now LOL. Fuck this is horrible. I gotta admit even though todd falcon is cringe autism its pretty entertaining to me compared to that flatland master... He doesn't express the autism spirit enough. Maybe if he did I'd like it.
>>263517If you are in agreement with the faggots on slap then it perhaps means you are a faggot too
I'm still blown away that anon compared a tripple hardflip to ROLLLINNGGG DOWN A HILLLLL
>>263523Most of the posts are hyping and appreciating his skating. It's not much different than here. >>263524I said a backside powerslide at high speed down a sketchy hill is cooler than a flatland tripple hardflip(and takes more skill at actually RIDING the board (less technique obviously)). Here you go again making shit up because I think your favorite youtube skater is boring and cringe.
>>263525https://www.youtube.com/shorts/j2cAzO5z7mgnow imagine doing something like this backside instead of frontside. That would be fucking insane. a flatland tripple hardflip is no where near as cool as this in comparison. Maybe he should of done a tripple hardflip into that bank though instead of just a kickflip ;)
>>263525>Here you go again making shit up There is a couple of us I'm not essay-anon.. >>263526You wouldn't do it backside because that would be dumb, no one would.. and longboarders mog hill bombers with their power slides at 80mph anyway but Jamie Griffins triple hardflip is still cooler (so is your clip).I'd argue that clip takes more balls but Griffins autistic flips take more skill. I can enjoy both without getting my panties twisted.
>>263529>You wouldn't do it backside because that would be dumb, no one would.. and longboarders mog hill bombers with their power slides at 80mph anyway but Jamie Griffins triple hardflip is still cooler (so is your clip).I mean it would be dumb as in risky and if u stick ur hitting ur head hard, but that just makes it that much cooler too. And long boarders are using long boards and softer wheels and using their arms and gloves to powerslide too. It's not as cool looking as someone on a small normal 32 inch whatever wheelbase with hard wheels doing it with no hands. I mean I think they both take a lot of skill. The autistic flips take better coordination and technique, where the powerslide requires you to have better balance and just general control at riding the board (and yea more dangerous and more balls) Which takes more skill and is harder overall could be debated either way im not really sure they are both hard in different ways. Idk I guess I just hate on him since he skates like an autist but doesnt have autist energy... >>263516This is more enjoyable to me because it has this ultra funny cringe generation X b horror autist vibe to it which fits this type of skating perfectly. I don't think hes as good as that jamie griffin guy but this shit is hilarious and entertaining to me and even more autistic
>>263513>I'm not discussing a skater. I was discussing this type of skating and why I think its lame.This isn't a "type" of skating, we've established he's a decent street skater, the only thing he's done is exceed in an aspect of your hobby that you don't even dislike, just arbitrarily dismiss exceeding at it as lame gay autism.>People in this thread who practice kickflips in their house on the carpet.Nobody has said that's all they do, It's not a binary choice.>Yea You're right people are fine to skate whatever way they want,Not at all, my stance is they absolutely should be doing both because that's extra time on your board when you're not skating outside. It's your suggestion that would slow them down in their progress.>I was simply saying In my opinion its better to get better at actual skating. Not yoyo tier precision freestyle tricks. He is good at actual skating, we've established that, it was a ridiculous suggestion in the first place that someone who does those tricks would have difficulty figuring out "actual skating".>If you want to spend your time doing flip tricks on your carpet like him all day For a guy that brings up strawmanning so much, you sure have been doing it a lot. >Why do you care so much that I think this shit is gay?I'm interested why you, as a person who's stepped on a skateboard, can presumably do some flip tricks, saw this>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpqOkM6cqnoand felt compelled to belittle it while trying to profile the guy as a loser.Your notion was proven wrong.>>263468You're unable to explain where the line should be drawn on tricks and at what point it's bad.The only thing that remains is some loser profile you invented in your head.You refuse to concede these points and maintain the insults, you have a unique hangup.
>>263526>imagine if he was doing something different that would be fucking insaneuuh>Maybe he should of done a tripple hardflip into that bank though instead of just a kickflip ;)Kickflips are tryhard cringe, if he hadn't wasted his time learning them like an incel he'd have been able to backside powerslide there.
Someone should post clips to wash away the stench of shitty boring paragraphs
It's just last-wordism and they are both retarded in equal measure, so it will probably continue until the thread dies.
>walls of text in a thread dedicated to riding a piece of wood.You autists are something else
>>263562He has retarded misconceptions that were proven wrong (Griffin can't skate, skaters that never go outside) and he was unable to defend his position by clearly defining what he takes issue with while insulting the guy and profiling the guy as a loser over and over, going on nothing>I guess he's good but it's not my thing and it's cringe/lame/gay/autism/mum's basement etcNever have I seen such faggot shit. In response to a talented guy working hard on a core aspect of street skating, by a supposed street skate.
Looking up random forum comments about the guy, likening his tricks to skill toys just to dunk on the guy, with zero self awareness.
this is the most 4chan this thread has ever felt lol
>>263577It's very obvious I'm in the right.And what's your deal anyway? You're that anon that always has a stick up his ass and insults everyone like a grade schooler, grow up.
didn't read
>>263533>For a guy that brings up strawmanning so much, you sure have been doing it a lot. I mean how is that even a strawman? It's fine if people want to skate like this or do this style I'm just not interested in it>I'm interested why you, as a person who's stepped on a skateboard, can presumably do some flip tricks, saw thisI don't think he's a loser? I think its highly skilled and impressive. When did I ever call him a loser? I just wanna talk shit and call it lame and gay. It's not something that hypes me up to go out and skate, but there is no way to deny he is very skilled and this is very hard to do. >He is good at actual skating, we've established that, it was a ridiculous suggestion in the first place that someone who does those tricks would have difficulty figuring out "actual skating".He's good at that type of skating, but you're not gonna see him getting sponsored or having a big street part. He's "good" at street skating, but he's not great or excellent at it to be a pro or anything special. I like watching street skating at interesting spots. This stuff is like watching yo yo tricks to me. >You refuse to concede these points and maintain the insults, you have a unique hangup.These are pretty weak points... I never said hes a bad skater. This just is not an interesting type of skating to me, if he was amazing at "street skating" and not just flatground skating maybe I'd find it interesting. I also find tons of street skaters boring to watch though. I also find todd falcon much more interesting and fun to watch than jamie griffin and hes more of an "autistic loser" by far. >>263546There are people who think kickflips and skateboarding being about tricks ruined skating. I'm not going to be an autist and argue against that. My opinion doesn't matter and neither does yours. You try and act like everything you say is objective and the only answer.
>>263546>Kickflips are tryhard cringe, if he hadn't wasted his time learning them like an incel he'd have been able to backside powerslide there.There are people who think kickflips and skateboarding being too trick focused ruined it. I'm not going to be an autist and argue against that. My opinion doesn't matter and neither does yours. You try and act like everything you say is objective and the only answer. Someone can think that rodney mullen freestyle bullshit like the ollie and kickflip are for fags and should have never been implemented into skateboarding. Maybe they think skating was best when it was a bunch of outcasts building launch ramps to throw down early grabs off of with their friends in their cul de sac. >>263565He has retarded misconceptions that were proven wrong (Griffin can't skate, skaters that never go outside) and he was unable to defend his position by clearly defining what he takes issue with while insulting the guy and profiling the guy as a loser over and over, going on nothingI never said griffin can't skate. I don't like when new beginners complain in here about why they can't land a kickflip 100 times. When there are so many other things you can learn in skateboarding. I have different taste in skateboarding than you and not much interest in flip tricks. I never once called him a loser I called him a cringe autist. Rodney Mullen is a cringe autist yet he is very successful. You can be both. >I guess he's good but it's not my thing and it's cringe/lame/gay/autism/mum's basement etc>Never have I seen such faggot shit. In response to a talented guy working hard on a core aspect of street skating, by a supposed street skate.Plenty of people talk shit on nyjah for having boring style even though hes technically really good at street skating. I don't get why you are so offended by me thinking Jamie Griffin is boring. I almost exclusively watch skating from like 1987-1992.
>>263580In the right about what? He is an amazing flatland skater. And a decent street skater, but not amazing or anything to special when it comes to actual street skating. I could care less for freestyle trick variation autism. I'm not interested in that type of skating. It's not fun for me to do or fun for me to watch. I'm not telling anyone in this thread not to skate like that, they can skate how they want and if they want to look up like jamie griffin and spend tons of time practicing on carpet they can. I talk shit on all the learn 2 ollie/kickflip trick tip posters because there are a lot of more avenues in skating than worrying about and focusing so much on freestyle tricks. If you're strugling with an ollie or kickflip maybe go outside and learn powerslide varations like blunt powerslides etc, wallrides, early grabs, lip tricks etc. Maybe they can try these things and discover an aspect of skating they like more and continue to have fun with the hobby instead of getting frustrated with kickflips on their carpet. Anyway I'm done spamming the thread since no one really cares to read this shit, and all you do is say things I never said strawmanning me non stop. I can like skateboarding for it being a kids toy used to create art, and you can like skateboarding as a skill kids toy autism. Todd Falcon > Jamie Griffin.
>>263595You cannot say he isn't a good street skater when he is literally elite at street skating.. the fact so many guys can hill bomb but no one is on his tier with flip tricks proves he is elite. You're coping mega hard by trying to write him off..
>>263596Where can I buy his pro shoe model and pro deck?
>>263596Yep no core skate sponsors. He had a deck released by hop king which is some sort of lifestyle indoor park/brewery bar ireland type of thing. I'm sorry but you're completely wrong. If he was an elite tier skater he would have a pro model shoe. He can't even get sponsored by a core skate brand like baker, heroin, anti hero, toy machine, zero or whatever else. He's not elite.
>>263598Yea hes not elite like leo baker with his own Nike shoe
>>263600https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJr6SS23OoUcorrect
damn this thing is a joy to ride
>>263602
>>263591>I mean how is that even a strawman?Because it's a thing you invented in your head to mock, about Griffin and anyone who ever practices stationary.>It's fine if people want to skate like this or do this style I'm just not interested in itPracticing stationary is not a style.>but you're not gonna see him getting sponsored or having a big street part.Embarrassing.>This just is not an interesting type of skating to meWhat type of skating? You never explain what that is. You keep saying freestyle, it objectively isn't, but lets play along.>all flip tricks are freestyleOk so are you against all of them? Do you cry whenever someone treflips on flat in the middle of a line? No? So where is the line drawn? You refuse to say.>Plenty of people talk shit on nyjah for having boring styleWe're not having a difference of opinion over a video part, or a style, this was never about your personal preferences.You, a street skater, saw a video of a street skater displaying incredible skill and responded with saying cringe/gay/autism/nerd a dozen times.I have to highlight again that you're a street skater, and you likened what he does to yoyo tricks, you'd think you've never stepped foot on a skateboard before.Incredible disrespect and ignorance, doubling down.>it's not art>he's not sponsoredBoth of these one after another was a very funny way to end this.
>>263598This must be a troll wtf anon that is not the bar of excellence the modern skate industry is as gay as you are being.
>>263610He was bound to veer off into trolling.
>>263607
>>263610sounds like some shit failed pros and instagram skaters like weckingball would say
>>263610I don't see him posting pro israel anti palestine content or anything sexist etc on instagram. The reason he cannot get a legit sponsor from any core company is because freestyle has been dead forever and has very little money in it. It just makes for cool trendy youtube videos and instagram reels. He's not so edgy and based/controversial that literally no core skate companies want to associate with him. If he was really so good tons of companies would be offering him pro decks to try and make money off him
Looks like im out of here and moving to reddit. This general is just a bunch of mid life crisis millennials picking up skateboarding after quiting after 4 months in 2007 to practice kickflips in their basement. Absolute shit taste if you think Jamie Griffin qualifies as elite skateboarder.>>263600At least this person gets it. Dude street skates worse than an AFAB ftm tranny.
>>263618and nothing of value was lost. hopefully the other cunt follows you there to continue the argument so we don't have to put up with either of you.
>>263622Have fun recommending him skate trainers and helping him land his first kickflip with them. I'll be registering a slap account.
>>263623>still here pretending to leaveOK, anon, BYE now. That's it, you don't have to reply, remember, because you're leaving. You remember saying that here >>263618? Remember? Don't reply now. Don't you dare reply. Don't do it. Between Reddit and Slap you have no more reason to post here. Stop reading this post even, get the fuck out of here now. Inb4 reply.
>>263618>moving to redditlmao goodbye reddit nigger
>>263618>>263623Are you fuming on his behalf or a different guy?
>>263626or the same guy*
jeffwonsong is my soty
I have to change a car headlight bulb, is it harder than changing a car battery?
>>263631Depends on the car, but anything that could fuck with the electronics in some way is risky unless you really know what the fuck you are doing. I absolutely fucked it trying to replace the left brake light on my previous car (Aygo) and ended up taking out all the lights on the left side, but I am admittedly retarded and cannot skate due to no battery changing skills either.
I don't like Jamie Griffin either. I think his tricks are ugly and stinky, but I'm not about to screenshot AI summaries to defend my opinion lmao

>>263618>This general is just a bunch of mid life crisis millennials picking up skateboarding after quiting after 4 months in 2007 to practice kickflips in their basement.Making shit up in your head to attack, that's an actual strawman, not the way you used it a hundred times.>>263623>helping him land his first kickflip with themThis from Mr. "don't rush your ollies and kickflips". If people listened to you they'd be stalling on these basic tricks, not that anyone would listen.
>>263763>you have to pop that onegets me everytime
I wonder how gay the new thread will be
>>263802no pls
>>263385Hahahaha this is awesome it reminds me of being a retarded teenager, my friend and I would try to get people to leave "our" spot by taking as much space as possible and yelling ridiculous trick names as we'd try them>NOLLIE BIG SPIN HOSPITAL FLIP !!! FLAMINGO TO ONE FOOT NOSE MANUAL! BONELESS FINGERFLIP!!but seriously man this sucks the other guy is right I'd rather look at a classic fat ass backside air on a quarter than some nerdy goofball on a parking lot doing a 900 lazer quadruple flip or something. I'm having more fun(and I'm more impressed) if I'm in the car of the guy who knows how to go fast around curves than I would with the guy who's an untouchable genius at parallel parking and rear view mirror adjustment.
>>263830that's an ad hominem not a strawman retard
>>263763lol dude messing up basic essential street tricks like inward heels
>>263763this is fucking hilarious. I can tell everytime which trick jamie griffin will fuck up. when i saw jeff do that switch fs flip im like yea jamie is gonna get nowhere close to landing that one
>>263763that jeff guy kinda sucks too is he another one of you guys youtube skaters? how the fuck does that count as an impossible. that was awful that should of been a letter on him... LOL that first unpopped bigspin attempt. common bro LOL.
>>263865Just another autismo skaterhttps://youtu.be/BT_45XGhE1o
>>263638heavy tricks can only go so far
>>263866https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3gHjYfn8o0schizoid skaters > autism skaters
>>263851>more personal preferences>another retarded analogy>the other guy is right>the other guyThanks for weighing in different guy
>>263872I think my car analogy isn't that bad. I truly feel the same as that other anon, is that unbelievable? I think it's a more valuable skill to master speed and height and getting around than doing intricate stuff on flat ground. I could make a drawing analogy: I take more enjoyment from someone who can translate movement and expression in any situation in a few lines than I do from someone who's very fucking good at drawing still faces with perfect proportions and lots of detail but who can only do that type of stuff. The latter may have worked harder and his skill level is harder to attain but it has very limited applications and is less versatile. Or in music, I prefer someone who can improvise and adapt and make pleasant tunes from whatever with whoever over the record-setting fastest shredder whose entire skill was developed alone in a bedroom. I genuinely believe the guy who can frontside flip a 4 flat 4 is a better skateboarder than the guy who throws NBDs no one cares about in the safest possible setting. To me, skateboarding is first and foremost about risk-taking, having "flow", "being in the zone". I don't get the appeal of doing hard tricks just for the sake of complexity if that element of "flow" isn't present. But whatever, you do you buddy, won't knock no pork chop off your plate if you won't knock one off of mine.
>>263618>>263623>>263659They would just shit on you there too when you say flip tricks are gay kendama.You're a repressed longboarder or fruitbooter.
>>263877Nicely put, anon, and pretty much describes my feelings about Jamie Griffyndor as well. I don't care that other people like what he does, but I also don't care about what he does.
>>263882>GriffyndorYou should stay on reddit
>>263867ok retard
>>263887fuck off, cunt *tips fedora*
Jamie Griffyndor is actually the perfect name for him because he skates like he was locked under the stairs for his entire childhood
>>263868any day of the week and twice on sundays
>>263893I mean it's just undeniably true. There's nothing wrong with hucking, actually it was my approach of choice when I was skating because it's easier than creativity or technicality, but in so many ways it only goes so far. I can explain more if you want.
>>263917>I can explain more if you want.We got enough of that already.
>>263918hahahhahahhaa>It's autistic stuntman shit. Like get rid of the skateboard and get on motorbike already.
>>263880keep coping. you have the most bland autistic taste in skating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3gHjYfn8o0this schizoid has done better things on a hard wheel longboard than any of your lame autist skatersSchizoid skaters > autistic skaters
>>263921https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuWzIe7iHOMJamie Griffyndor could never
>>263917You're not only a retard, but you didn't watch the video. There are tons of technical clips in there.>when I was skatingWhat is it with used-to-skaters having terrible out of touch takes?
>>263923>Most of the Coliseum kids ended up with real skate careers>This guy just went bald and started doing drugsPJ converted to Hinduism or some shit so I'm not sure which of the two ended up worse.
>>263928I mean he's literally a schizoid. Went to special school and all. He's not neurotypical so you can't expect him to have a successful career. He's like over 40 years old still bike messaging to this day as a job.
>>263930he also got kicked off of heroin because he didnt want fos to edit or choose the music of his parts. He refused to send him cilps and would just send him his whole part edited as a schizo industrial techno whatever u know to be more fitting of himself
>>263918enough of what? >>263924retarded maybe, but 1000x better than you at skating even today. I would bet my life on that.Anyways, you're right that there is some technical stuff, but I didn't say that technical stuff is categorically better than hucking or that all skating needs to be creative. I'm more so saying that that whole video is just full of "bangers," and I find bangers to be annoying at this point. I prefer more relatable skating at less dangerous spots, for lack of a better way to describe it. That being said, I had never heard of Gabriel Summers until this vid and jesus, that guy is awesome. He kind of transcends hucking to where it's just complete and total suicide. To the point where the guys around him should tell him to quit skating, if they care about him even a little bit. I cannot imagine wanting to go skating with that guy lmao. And that's my point. even though the other anon told me not to explain myself, the logical conclusion of hucking, the best version of it is just suicide. Most hucking is too "in control" and boring (which is what 90% of that vid is). If you're curious if not that vid then what, I saw this vid recently and thought it was cool. Something I can identify with and is inspiring and life affirming, rather than life negating. https://youtu.be/VgN-_1N4rl0
>>263691But these were being posted in /asp/
>>263936>1000x better than you at skating even todayNot likely, fatso. Didn't read the rest of your drivel. You should fuck off from this thread since you don't skate.
>>263943lets go clip for clip
>>263944You said "even today" so you have nothing since you don't skate
>>263945I just skate far less frequently. about once or twice a month and I usually try to film something each time
>>263868>schizoid skaters > autism skaterssame samehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE1tOwcRBh8>>263936>https://youtu.be/VgN-_1N4rl0That was cool
>>263936>I had never heard of Gabriel Summers until this vidholy newfag
please stop feeding Wordsworth over here.
>>263921This was never about personal preferences, honestly his street parts are lacking, it's irrelevant.I won't stand by this kind of ignorance and disrespect.>its just freestyle autism. practicing ur triple flips stationary in ur moms garage is mostly about technique.>Let's see you do a backside powerslide on some tricky terrain at high speed instead. That matters more when it comes to actually looking good on your board then doing a tripple hardflip at 1mph or whateverWorst of all.>like think of yo yos or kendama tricks. Thats pretty much the aspect of skating that he is focusing on, and learning as many tricks as possible instead of maximizing how a few tricks look. You can learn 100 tricks and land them, or learn 1 trick and tweak the technique of this 1 trick until the trick looks exactly how you want it to.The guy contributes an incredible showcase and some faggot dismisses it, calling it cringe, autism, gay, kendama. Oh but HE would have preferred Griffin did something cooler, fuck off, no respect for his own sport.I want to see self reflection and a sincere retraction of the insults.
>>263950which one
>>263952holy autism man you do not give up. move on man. get therapy. he is not a good street skating, and you obviously don't understand what street skateboarding is. skateboards are just some skill toy to you. I'm not retracting shit
>>263952It's very simple man. Do I have to watch some guy do 20 minutes of yo yo tricks and be like wow amazinggg i really respect this. I can think wow what a loser man like who the fuck would waste the time learning this shit. He's a disgrace to skateboarding, the fact that you can do so many things with a skateboard and you choose to do this is cringe. It shows that you put so much autistic fascination on the skateboard itself like its a skill toy, instead of the history and culture around it which is far more important. There is a reason why no core brands support this guy. I don't give a shit about how many hours he wasted in his basement to make skateboarding more lame.... I'm sorry Jamie Griffyndor, but you will never be cool.
>>263953both. what a pair of fucking homeless crackheads these two are. GET A ROOM
>>263952Ok you're right, I was wrong and being edgy for the sake of it..
>>263959Was that so hard? Just kidding, my own antagonism made this get drawn out longer than it should have. I appreciate it.From here on we all agree Griffin is an amazing and cool skater-jk jk
>>263963I don't know who this >>263959 is, but i'd never say these things and gaymie griffyndor will always be a lame try hard with ugly flip'a'fuck tricks
>>263958says the guy using a saved fishtank jpeg
Damn this thread is gay start a new one
>>263959>>263963That wasn't me. someone is pretending to be me now>>263954>>263955this is me
>>263983yea the fishtank loser who watches sam hyde 10 years past his prime of course doesn't take sides
>>263984someone make a Gaymie Griffyndor OP pic
>>263984Skateboarding is gay.
>>263958It is a forum after all
>>263987This isn't me. I don't know why people are pretending to be me. This is me >>263959
>>263983>muh fishtankWelcome to the intertubes, this must be your first day in the browser environment; remember to practice safe cyber and never talk to stranglers kiddo.
>>263997proven wrong. Fuck you Gaymie.
Update - changing a headlight bulb is equal difficulty as changing a car battery
The main takeaway from this thread is that jamie griffin is gay because he does 360 inward heels on flat but jeffwon is based because he does them down stairsets
>>264004I'm gonna go with both are gay
>>264004both are gay man... Yea gaymie gryfindor sucks and messed up a switch fs flip, but jeffwon literally did a no pop bigspin... gay af. Stop watching youtube skaters. Watch world industries rubbish heap or something.
>>264004>does them down stairsetshttps://youtu.be/IbcNCxUpKNg
I would love a thread that doesn't talk about jeffwon or griffyndorf at all
>>264013>griffyndorfSo long and you spaz's keep spazzing other spaz's will keep baiting
Borringgggg new argument topic please oh my gof
I learned switch slappy crook recently
>>264019we're not here to cater to you, you little cunt. fuck off if you don't like reading epic internet arguments between some of the greatest minds of the last 2 decades.
The discussion is over, obviously some guy is baiting to keep it going, my bet is that annoying guy that occasionally gets his posts deleted.
>>264027>>264027>that annoying guy that occasionally gets his posts deleted.Yeah, that really narrows it down, good job.
>>264035kek i thought he was talking about me for a sec
>>264020I mean thats only cool if its back it switch. That's a hard trick to make look cool.
>>264042ok
>>264020mogs me
got some X Formulas
>>264052no one skates bones anything, except maybe swiss
Bones are good for concrete parks
>>263911LMAO
>>263930>still bike messaging to this day as a job.And what's wrong with that mr. Eton college? You got a problem with the working class?
>>264035It is really one master troll that got stuck with us since the wrestling autists were moved to /asp/
>>264076The working class pays for my gibsNeet supremacy
>>264082I think it was always black box. why would you ever need that information
>>264084Black Box was Thomas' distribution company, not a woodshop.
>all anti-hero decks have 14.38 wbwhy would anyone want a wheelbase that long? what is that even good for?
>>264076I'm defending fiske. The other person was talking shit on how he never made it big in skating.
Anyone else ride a twin nose/tail style board and how do you find it compared to standard styles? Impulse bought myself a twin deck to try out (when it stops raining). This was the only 8.25 I could find with the least offensive graphic.
>>264091I would like too, so I could have to tails to destroy before changing it
>>264087more stability at speed maybe
I went to the miniramp up the hill from my house and there was a hot mom with her kid and she was turned on by my abilities I think. She was smiling from ear to ear at me.
>>264091I've skated a couple and found them "fine", but it's a little odd at first to set up for switch and nollie tricks since your foot isn't sitting on the typical nose you're used to. At the same time, after a couple sessions, your brain recognizes a specific nose and tail and you'll notice immediately if it's flipped around. Maybe I'm just autistic.
>>264099it happens a lot
>>264099Yup, it's been known to happen
>>264099Happened to me yesterday
>37 years old>drove past a group of kids (17-18) holding skateboards>screamed "POSERS"! at them>laughed all the way home
