To the anon who asked about bushings: the wide side is meant to cover the holding surface of the truck. So, firstly, if you put the narrow side there, you would be exerting greater pressure on that surface, either forcing the bushing to slip or otherwise damaging it. Secondly, the wide side won't fit under the metal cap that goes inbetween the screw and the bushing.

I wanna do artwork for skate stuff.
Ive been doing a lot of work for our local diy; designing posters, patches, shirts and stickers and even a lil mag. I love doing it and i wanna try doing stuff like that as a lil side hustle, less the money but the fun and connections. However, i dont have an IG or any stuff like that. Anyone got an idea on how to go about it? Do i "need" to have an instagram as thats what people use these days to get connections?

was thinking about back pre forums/internet, with all my exposure to skating being west coast magazines and videos, and one day seeing pj ladd at skaters island just before whl. probably the most mid blowing display of skateboarding ive ever seen.

My local park was frequented by a bunch of people, like Alexis Sablone.
Notable though, Trevor Thompson lived in the same city as me and he managed to become a heroin junkie by the age of 14 before eventually moving away. I learned years later that he's pro for WKND and tracked down an interview where he said he's clean now, but the guy takes absolutely zero personal responsibility whatsoever and blames his drug use on "the opioid epidemic" that never existed.

>last tried to kickflip 2 months ago
>I was getting frustrated cause I couldn't get the rhythm or timing down properly and would bail 9/10 attempts
>tried a few today on a whim
>landed 9/10 attempts
Friendly reminder to take extended breaks periodically, no matter how good you are. It's THE biggest hack to getting better. Every time I level up, it's because I take a break for a few weeks. That stuff about things resetting quickly while you're off the board is such bullshit, but people seem to really believe it. They are afraid of taking breaks because they think that in a few days their brain will delete all their knowledge, muscle memory and balance to do with skating. Real retard thinking. If it's been a few years, or even a decade for some people, I get it, you probably are rusty. But a month or so? You are probably levelling up and don't even realise.
>>
>>267657
I def get better the more often and consistent I skate. Breaks never help. Yea maybe for a autistic fliptrick for a kickflip if ur using the wrong technique constantly and burying that into ur mind, but I've never had sucess with long breaks. Only time to use a break is for muscle recovery/injury recovery desu
>>
>>267657
There's something to it, I've only been going like once a week but notice small improvements.
Rather than taking time off the board completely though, have some days be for specific tricks.
I guess it's like lifting weights, you don't do the same stuff every day.

There was a guy I knew once who used to insisted that 90% of skateboarders were closet cases because all they do all day is think about, watch and idolise other men. Thinking about how they dress, about how they talk, their weight, their fashion, about how good they look when they jump etc. When a girl gets involved, most of them start flipping out about how girls are lame and don't belong in skateboarding. Maybe he was onto something. Skateboarding is a safe-space for men who can't admit they really like men.

I can ollie and kickflip and heelflip, I can switch ollie too. Your incendiary comments aside, what I said is true. Yeah, you definitely CAN SKATE if you can ollie, but being a skateboarder is not so much about what you CAN do but the context in which you do it, if it belongs. Because skateboarding came from surfing, a skateboard will always belong on a surface that changes angle to the ground. And plenty of pro skateboarders, even at the end of the 80s, couldn't ollie.

Since reading your posts I've fallen twice on pop shuv it, one time landing primo.
That never happened even when I was learning pop shuv its. Funny how that goes, you get in your head overthinking and suddenly forget tricks.
So anyway the issue wasn't the foot placement, it was putting too much emphasis on trying to get the board turning horizontally. A fast scoop works for shuv its, but if you add a pop the slightest move from your front foot gets it flipping. It needs to go more vertical.
Less scoop, more pop. Shove it underneath yourself and to your right, as opposed to straight back. It doesn't take much to get the 180 rotation.

when you have done 100's and 1000's of attempts so your brain can filter out unnecessary details and hone in on the board for a second, knowing that all other motions are muscle memory at that point so it can laser focus on the flip.

I get that the white mexican in that video exaggerates things in a way and tries to sound smart, but the main idea seems true to me.

Take Anti Hero for instance. I've always thought that their name was suspect. They call themselves "one-eight", as in first letter of the alphabet (A) eighth letter of the alphabet (H) for Anti Hero. As far as I know, the only culture which uses that same convention is prison gangs, and I don't think its a coincidence that Anti Hero evokes an aesthetic similar to "white guys/mexicans who do construction and have probably been to prison a few times." White prison gangs, which again, anyone on Anti Hero looks like theyre a part of, use "88" for HH or "Heil Hitler" to distinguish their associations in prison. I honestly firmly believe that Anti Hero is a similar code, only instead of HH its AH for Adolph Hitler.

I'm not even making judgments about whether or not this is right or wrong, after all it could be a joke and not a dog whistle of any kind, I just think it's interesting and worth noting that the worlds foremost transition skating company uses this kind of imagery and has a history of "racism" or whatever. Also the only black guy that ever rode for them was Chris Pfanner and he's Australian, and we all know they are racist against other blacks too (case and point, Chima Ferguson).
>>
also I've known about 5-10 dudes that skate really good and post on slap.
>>
>>267998
it should be noted most skinhead/neonazi prison gangs are Mexicans and only use the Nazi stuff for shock value+to establish that they run opposite to the black gangs, like how gangs like MS13 will LARP with Aztec/Apache warrior shit. they don't know or give even an iota of a shit about National Socialism as a political ideology. it's just them saying "we hate the black gang in the next cellblock over". Hitler would've put all those low IQ psychopath drug dealer mutts in a camp without hesitation.
>>
>>268000
I forgot to mention how skaters and surfers used to do the same shit back in the 70s and 80s, tag up swastikas and iron crosses on shit both to spook away normalfags who would look at it and think "this is gang territory" and as a way of coopting the "this is our turf and we will defend it" beliefs of Naziism. they didn't care about white nationalism or Jews in particular, it was more about Our Crew vs Outsiders. it's why Indy trucks used the iron cross as their logo, it was an allusion to that "locals only" culture that was widespread back then. they were trying to say Indys were by skaters and for skaters.
>>
>>268000
yeah HH and 88 and shit "neo nazi" prison shit is all about having logos for your group. Some of them do get down with it though and that's kind of a problem I guess.
>>
>>267989
The only people that should be blamed are race communists for existing.
>>
>>268003
I think them being drug dealing murdering gangbangers is a bigger problem for society than them agreeing with Mein Kampf.
>>
>>268005
Yeah, for sure. Anyways, prison shit is the last thing on anyones mind. People take issue with the fact that neo-nazi adjacent ideology is literally mainstream these days. Whatever happens in prison people don't care about.

the only "nazi-adjacent" thing mainstream today is a dislike of Israel, and the vast majority of antizionists out there are antizionist because they believe Israel is a "white supremacist fascist colonial apartheid state that enslaves and genocides poor oppressed nonwhite Muslims and women". they're about as far from Nazi as it can get.

>MS13
This is actually code for nazi shit too. MS13 or MSAC which is close to NSDAP and even the 1 stands for Adolf and the 3 stands for Christ. It ultimately means niggers are not allowed in their Mexican club which is inherently racist.
>>
>>268019
MS13 was founded by Salvadorans having a fit over the Los Angeles Mexican gangs telling them "no immigrants, you have to be a true blue redblooded Mexican-American to join our gangs". 13 isn't one-three, it's Thirteen. for the letter M, for Marabunta. some Salvadoran slang word.

Seems troubling and like something we need to circle back on to ensure inclusivity and no racism is occuring in these circles. The skate industry should take a long look at itself over this.

Oh damn, so you know more about Butterfield than I. He was my first introduction to youtube trick tips and also the first advice I took overall. How do you know so much about him??

Does anyone still skate the streets? It's been forever for me personally

I just read a quick interview with him after your suggestion lol. The guy I'm looking for was probably as old then as Butterfield is now, Strongbad emails were still the rage. Also not sure if he was from America, Canada or Yurop

All the time. I get bored of skateparks. Skating things that weren't made to be skated is what makes skating fun for me. Skateparks are for honing tricks and learning new ones.
>>
>>268232
I just don't have any chill bank spots near me, I don't have any spots at all, the skatepark is literally the closest spot

thats what Im known for is trying hard

Bought my first setup after skating a decent used decathlon board for a few months. Just realised the deck I got is birch... am I cooked?
>>
>>268252
try reddit with your "am i cooked" ass. fuck you

>>268253
Go back to slap with that gay ass attitude
>>
>>268254
sorry i just dont like asian people very much
>>
>>268252
Well it's untouched, so knock off a few bucks and sell it. You'll get most of it back for a real board.
>>
>>268253
Nigger I'm whiter than you'll every be. You have to be 18 to post here kiddo.
>>268257
I'll try and sell it though the skate scene is small around where I live in my country so might not be able to find a buyer.
>>
>>268252
>birch deck
Counterfeit? Seller?
>>
>>268273 (me)
Nevermind. I am kinda shocked that the big brands are selling birch.
>>
>>268274
Same, didn't think of checking as it was from a big brand. I think they use them in a lot of premade boards due to cost. :/

I mean, are you even good enough to notice the difference? if your a beginner I imagine birch is fine

Didn't realise skateboarding was kosher...

No idea, I've heard horror stories online but don't know if it's true or just consoomers. Mainly working on my ollie and nose slappies at the moment.

How did you not realize when the guys running Deluxe are literally hunchbacked jewish caricatures?
>>
>>268252
And speaking of decathlon, I almost bought one of their completes but it turned out to be birch in the description, in a video describing their models they said it was maple. It's possible you already skated birch.

Started skateboarding again recently and holy shit I never realized how much ankle mobility I've lost over the years. Tilting my foot when ollieing felt like opening a door with old rusty hinges.
>>
>>268313
One of my ankles crack and pop now every time I move it sideways I hope I doesn't hurt when I'm old

I fucked mine forever by rolling it really badly. Now it has a dull ache 24/7 and catches at the front at the point where my shin and foot meet, hurts like a bitch for days or weeks if I catch it at a bad angle. I handicapped my skating before I even got properly started and I hate myself for it. It could have been prevented.

Heel drop footwear shortens calf muscles and limits ankle mobility. One of the many reasons why females are worse at skating.
>>
>>268341
I was skating in heels for one thing
>>
>>268342
wouldnt that be heel rising footwear? heel drop is when the heel is lower.

>>268346
It's just shorthand for heel to toe drop.

it's funny how bad that doc pissed Grosso off considering the point sailed over his head. what Mullen was saying is that all the tricks street skaters consider their bread and butter came from freestyle, not that freestylers directly invented street skating. without freestyle you don't have the flatland ollie or fliptricks, and without the ollie or fliptricks you don't have street skating as a discipline.
>>
>>268278
>made in China
there's your problem. been saying for years to not buy any deck not made in the US or Canada.

So I have a few questions

>Why don't people wear helmets and pads? I'm the only one doing so cus I got tired of getting goose eggs on my elbows
>Why do skaters insist on smoking weed at the park every day? How do you even skate when you're stoned?
>Does skate culture feel soulless to you compared to pre 2005?
>What's up with the guys who don't shower? They always smell 3 meters away from them and you can catch their drafts. They aren't even sweating either.
>Where do you get the courage to ollie stairs and shit?
>Why are fags itt? I thought skaters were all straight
>>
>>268570
>Why don't people wear helmets and pads? I'm the only one doing so cus I got tired of getting goose eggs on my elbows
Because you look gay
>Why do skaters insist on smoking weed at the park every day? How do you even skate when you're stoned?
Because its a place to hang out
>Does skate culture feel soulless to you compared to pre 2005?
Yes, gay corporations took over
>What's up with the guys who don't shower? They always smell 3 meters away from them and you can catch their drafts. They aren't even sweating either.
Why shower if before you're going to get sweaty?
>Where do you get the courage to ollie stairs and shit?
Because we practiced and know we can
>Why are fags itt? I thought skaters were all straight
See question 3
>>
Thanks.

Now I'm curious if local skate shops are the best places to get parts from, or of you guys buy stuff online

Every day I forget how to do shuvits and it takes me forever to land them again

Grass, gravel, and gritty pavement is easy, but smooth concrete makes it difficult. Took me 2 hours and a bucket of sweat
>>
>>268573
you should support local shops so they can stay in business
>>268575
always practice tricks rolling, not stationary. it is actually easier this way and will instill better habits. when I first started skating I found shuvs came easier rolling fakie

set up and torque. you have to pop in while keeping your shoulders still and facing forwards then use your shoulders and arms as counter balance to twist your hips out
