What happens when a woman sacks it on a rail?Does it hurt her vagoo? Shurely it can't be as bad
>>270151your askin the wrong question pal. do women have a biological advantage in skateboarding due to their sacking resistance?
I overtightened a couple of hardware bolts it's so over.
[Heartbreaking]the youtuber was right about how to nollie
>>270159Tried nollies yesterday and got significantly better by treating them like fakie ollies in terms of anticipating when jumping out of a kicker.Also got better at nose manuals.Tried fs smiths on a straight ledge out of a kicker but sadly failed multiple times to land it.I have now made it my goal to learn put in some effort and learn some basic tricks like that.Noseslides and maybe kickflips on my list too.t. skating for over 20 years but managed to neglect oa lotta basic stuff because rather skate transition
> gradually stop skating sometime between 13-14 years ago because less and less friends regularly skating into adulthood> was a park rat my entire childhood so was quite good> decide to pick it back up after having recurring dreams of shredding the park with the boys which had me in my feels because it felt so real and I don't even know how this happened, mid-30s> to my surprise, muscle memory is impressive. I can immediately hop on the board, bomb mild hills, even ollie over manholes/up curbs, and do some sketchy 180s and easy flip tricks. the only kicker is that I have the balance of a drunk person so it all feels sketchy.> end up skating way too long one day and my back ankle has pain for a whole week after.> end up doing something to both knees somehow outside of skating> board collects dust for well over a year.> we are herehow long does it take for the balance to come back? it's kind of demoralizing when your mind feels like it can do all the shit you remember, and you can somewhat, but you feel perpetually drunk while doing it. I also have this constant paranoia that I might have arthritis, and that all of this effort is in vain, not to mention if that is the case, it never would have happened if I wouldn't have quit skating.
>>270151If she's wet she could probably lip slide down it
Oh shit its beach time again, I might hit the park like this when I get back
>>270170if you have a yard maybe consider getting a slackline. shit helps a lot with your balance. also doing stationary mannys helps a lot. it did that every day while my ankle was fucked and it actually improved my skating when i could ride again
LOL The Vert Ramp actually reported that
>>270170I'm 29 and just started skating again seriously. Did my first moving ollie and stuff this year. I have only skated alone now and I skate about 8 hours a week. I don't talk to the other skaters either except for some hellos.There is enough motivation to keep going tho, so many things to doSchizoid life
>>270192You can talk to people bro it's not hard
If I'm skating flatground, should I stick with Indys or is there a lighter truck that won't bork within two months?
>>270195Just keep what you got beginner dude
>>270195the modern truck autism is crazy. back in the OG iPhone days, we just bought a different truck brand everytime we needed new trucks. they all felt the same once you got used to them after a day or two. I've probably owned every pair of trucks. I even used to randomly put risers on them sometimes for no reason at all. low and high trucks for no reason at all.
>>270195if you're purely a tech autist, ventures are pretty nice
>>270204I skate ventures for tranny
I would never buy indy cause they cucked
Dislocated my shoulder.Rolling from one side to the other in bed...Feels weak af today, can I skate?
it's funny how many of the older pro skaters that gen z worships are lame pieces of shit. the whole deathwish era is when it started to go downhill. those are the first guys I remember putting on demos, but showing up completely wasted, doing drugs in front of 5-year-olds, and shifting skate culture entirely to degeneracy and drug use. Antwuan Dixon even started a fight with a 15-year-old kid at my skatepark when he was shitfaced drunk, and everyone truck bashed his ass until they had to carry him out. there were like 2 guys on that team that were even sober enough to skate at the demo they put on. contrast that to when the adio team came a couple of years before that, all of those guys ripped and were respectful and down to earth. the whole dude weed era around 2010-2013 was a blight on skating.
>>270217At some point corporate skateboarding ventured from elite skateboarding into the territory of death defying stunts.It's sort of a consequence of that change.
>>270217I went to a Split clothing demo and one of the guys sat there with me and couple other kids teaching us how to 360 flip. It was awesome.Three years later, Emerica came through and was there for maybe 45 minutes in total. They didn't talk to any kids, expected food and drink to be provided and got pissed when it wasn't (probably contributed to their short stay), and Justin Strubing was the only one who did more than one trick.Don't meet your heroes.
>>270194I don't want to try with those guys cus they're addicted dopeheads
Building a concrete quarter pipe at my house but I donโt quite understand what I need to do with the rebar.What do I need to buy and how do I space it out? Iโm just fucking around making a 4 foot high x 9 foot wide thing.
>>270170tighten them trucks white boy
>>270195>>270201both dumb
it sucks that people don't want to play skate where dropping in, riding down a slope, ollieing off a step, and other non-tricks countthey are mind broken over kickflips and rotating their boards
It sucks that you made three retarded posts in a row.
Bye converse I hope Nike is next, then eventually gay ass new balance
>>270217Nah shit was lit
>>270247guy who cant skate flat
>>270247you can't ollie
>>270250>then eventually gay ass new balancefuck you they're the only brand that makes shoes for men(double EE width shoes).
Nora's part is sooo badWhat were they thinking?
>>270250>Nike, Inc. owns Converse. >Nike bought Converse in July 2003 for $305 million. I told you guys last thread Nike is dying and it will be the death of the modern faggotry in skating.. and that's a good thing!
>>270260Women are held to much lower standards. Look at how far Elissa Steamer coasted along just doing noseslides and 50-50s on stuff guys were doing switch laser back lips on.
>>270257don't know what you mean >>270258incorrect, unless you mean switch
>>270260the comments grill them good, I'm surprised yt shows them. they usually hide anything negativealso, what's with all her intros wipe outs and failures? It doesn't seem common for people to show their wipe outs. Not to that extent
>>270270guy who cant do flatground tricks>>270271needed more runtime lol
I remember exactly when Nike SB really took off. it was around 2008 when even small town skateshops started really carrying them, even the gay dunk hypebeast shit. Almost overnight, everyone was skating in dunks. I was a late adopter, and when I finally started skating dunks(went through about 3 pair alltogether, I was shocked that so many people kept skating them because they genuinely had some very big flaws that made them suck. on the good side, they had good padding without being too rigid and numb feeling, but the thing that made them shit was the grip pattern on the bottom. it was worse than 90% of actual core skate shoes. I remember on rainy days at school, you would have to be careful not to bust your ass when you went inside on the floors with wet shoes. this translated to skating too because it was harder to run up big banks with skatelite at the park. also, I was always a big ollie guy, and I actually had to tame my ollies or I would frequently shoot my front foot completely off the end of the board. not to mention like 75% of the colorways didn't even have suede, so you had even less grip with the faux leather shit. then at some point blazers became popular... boy oh boy, don;t even get me started on those. they skated better than dunks for sure due to most of them being suede, the bottom grip texture being different, but the hi tops were the most flimsy shit ever. I used to roll my fucking ankle all the time in those. I had one pair and said fuck that after, those are ankle breaking shoes for sure. dunks/sb in general were astroturfed onto the scene seemingly overnight and people just kept skating them forever despite thinking they were mediocre. many good skaters shared my opinion. unironically the best shoes I ever skated were circa al50. was back in the fat shoe days, but they were surprisingly light, and you could skate them right out of the box like they didn't need to be broken in. most were suede or canvas so crazy good grip.
>>270269based elissa not doing sweaty nerd tricks
>>270273Is this pasta? Either way, skill issue.
>>270275> here is a picture of a beat up shoe, therefore you are wrong. reading comprehension? are you really sitting here trying to claim that nike sb is the best skateshoe? you were probably born in 2010 and never tried anything else. kek. also, that wear patter is... if you know you know. we had those posers who used to rub their shoes on griptape for hours to make it look like they actually skated too.
I don't fuck up my shoes bad anymore cause I hardly skate it's pretty sick I have a collection now
>>270277You complained about PU coated leather being slippery, and I posted a shoe made with PU coated leather. It scrapes off almost instantly and has never caused me any issues in all the years I've skated.You ran into skill issues and you're blaming them all on the brand of shoe even though Nike isn't the only brand that uses those materials.
>>270282first off, blazers are completely different structurally to the dunk. vulc vs cup.stiff vs flimsy. reinforced toe vs standard. so, yeah they skate differently. if you would have reading coprehension, you would have even seen that my original post claimed that the blazers skated good unlike the dunk. my gripe being that they are unstructured, which is 100% fact. at the end of the day however, the reality is that 75% of skaters always chose suede/canvas shoes to skate in. the leather ones were almost always bought just to wear casually, as it was always seen as inferior material for skating. you're one of the minority that actually unironically bought leather hypebeast colorway blazers to skate in.
ipath grasshopper, lakai telford, etc solved the dunk shortcomings. it's crazy how people went back to dunks just because they have the hype with non-skating crowd.
>>270247>dropping in, riding down a slope, ollieing off a stepjust say you can't kickflip
>>270294>>270258>>270257> goes to the skatepark> just skates flatground the whole timeyou know... you could just stay the fuck out of the way at the walmart parkinglot, right?
>>270284>>270285I feel like you just have an axe to grind against Nike and are attributing your personal failings to the brand. I pointed out that you were wrong about PU coated leather and you're losing your mind about things unrelated to my statement.Try to be a little less upset all the time.
i havent had any issues with whatever leather they used on the grasshoppers
>>270297I'm not the one that was posting about Nike's downfall. I don't have a dog in the fight. I was just replying about tje discussion that corporate brands becoming big in skating was a bad thing. You're making assumptions. Your opinion is more valid than someone elses? I have multiple Nike SB boxes full of skatemags from 20 years ago so I'm not talking out of my ass.
>>270298it's not really an "issue" but the simple fact that suede/canvas is simply grippier. it's just reality. anything I can do in a leather shoe I can do bigger in a suede/canvas shoe. it's something you notice when skating at your limit, not just casually skating.
>>270271>the comments grill them good, I'm surprised yt shows them. they usually hide anything negativeDo they? I was thinking about that.Gifted hit the nail on the head with this one. I was surprised Sammaria called her last trick a blizzard/360ยบ flip. Because Sammaria is ten times more technical than Nora. And yes, Nora did seem tired. She has a lot of style and is fun to watch and you never felt like she was shoved in your face, she was the final piece of the puzzle in Welcome, just 2 minutes before the whole thing went to shit. It's obvious Adidas IS trying to present her as a token of diversity, and the sad thing is she believed the hype around herself unfortunately.Is she still with Albee Layer? Does anybody know?
When I look at zoomzoom era companies I just cringe. They all seem low-effort. Like some fake company a 12-year-old at the skatepark would have come up with. "Welcome." That name automatically makes me trash bin it without even knowing what they sell or care who the team is. It's like hipster shit all over again. I just can't get on board. Then, half of these new companies are essentially b-tier anyways because their entire founding and people they sponsor is designed soley to turn literal b-league skaters pro because they couldn't make it at the real a-tier of skating.
>>270170>never would have happened if I wouldn't have quit skating.Arthritis is a autoimmune disease, has nothing to do with skating.
>>270273Best shoes are DC kourt graphics
>>270307those look like something an emo girl would wear while she got assfucked behind a portajon during a slipknot concert.
someone give me a rundown on slap message boards. never used it. never knew anyone irl who used it. yet the internet claims it's some uber-popular global skateboarder message board that everyone and their little brother used. it it just like many other hobby messageboards, where it's mostly full of posers and deskjockeys who talk about shit they don't know instead of real skaters?
>>270307I used to west those unironically in grade 6my jeans made the white exterior blue
How is it easier for people to do tricks while moving? Way more goes wrong during a moving shuvit
>>270311maybe if you'er not actually popping it and just doing that little beginner shuv it where you jump forward. tricks are easier moving because that's the natural way you sakte. you rarely spend time stationary on a skateboard once you get past beginner stage. plus, your board can now roll backwards and forward when you're stationary, which is more unpredictable. while rolling, the board is in a state of motion that is more static and predictable. think of trying to walk on a treadmill that keeps going forward and reverse randomly, stationary skateboard is the same unless you are on carpet or some shit.
>>270294I fucking hate kickflips, they're overhyped. We need to make skateboarding hip again
I wasted $90 cad on these. I'm afraid of them sticking to the ground all the time and they're only good for cruising.I do like how quiet they are on new pavement, but that's not very helpful
>>270310I genuinely tried them on for the first time last year and they easily make the top 5 if not top 3 of shoes I've worn.>>270271Also to add, look at TreeCoop's comment chain. Definitely a troll, doubling down on obnoxiousness while (pretending to be) defending Nora just to actually inflame hatred, kek
>>270314Why, what softness are they?
>>27031690. I thought that would still be hard, just quieter, but I guess not. Not sure what wheels to buy now. I'm thinking expensive wheels (formula fours are $100) are a meme.
>>270317why did you want softer wheels to skate normally? it's really hard to find anything that is truly a "softer hard wheel" I know spitfire has the 97 wheels, and I've never tried them, but reviews claim they feel no diffrent to a 99, or barely any different. one thing you can do is get a bigger diameter in the normal hard wheels. that also helps with rolling over rougher ground because of rolling resistance. if you skate 50s, try 54s. it's not a drastic diffrence in general but it does do enough to notice.
>>270318I thought they'd be comfy, and didn't know they'd be so grippyThey are 56mm.Maybe now I'm looking for 52-54mm and 99. I wanted good looking wheels too. Skate brands have horrible taste in art.
>>270319you could always try the formula 4 97a in 54-56mm. anything meant for soaking up vibration and being comfy is gonna be grippy. you have to powerslide a completely different way with those kinds of wheels. like downhill longboarders. then you just get flatspots. your best best for getting a bit better ride out of hard wheels is to go bigger diameter, but also bigger width. I HATE wide wheels for trick skating, and they are noticeably heavier even for ollies, but the extra contact pattch spreads out the weight thus helping with crusty terrain. you really have to settle with the cmpromises for a comfier ride.
>>270321the 97a radial full or conical full is what I'm referring to. they are very wide, but still relatively hard.
>>270321thanks, I didn't even consider weight
>>270323you can get used to anything, but there are definitely wheel shapes that are "better" for certain things like grinds and such.
>>270324smaller seems better for popping, the main part of skating
>>270325Different anon here, the main part of skating is having fun.
>>270325it definitely is, but it also depends on your truck height. some trucks with a 56mm wheel are the same height off the ground as another truck with a 52mm wheel. when it comes to wide wheel styles like the radial full and conical full, they don't really hurt flip tricks/popping, but some grinds will be a bit different. they will ride over crusty pavement noticeably better than skinny wheels like classics. a bit harder to powerslide but still doable.it's more grip without being sticky grip. larger diameter also lasts longer too when you're buying expensive wheels. 56mm becomes 54mm eventually if you skate a lot.
>>270326thanks bro, love you
>>270295we were talking about games of skate retard
>>270313no, sorry. No one wants to do lame grab tricks on flatground like a cornball
>>270330Here is what's proper skating>no kickflip hype>feet don't touch the ground (boneless and no complys are icky)>less scooping more pop
all these people who care so much about getting clips, caring what people think, and speedrunning progress are going to eventually get burntout and quit skating. skating should always be something you do to purge the shitty work/schoolday from your mind after you get home. a cathartic hobby, not the opposite.
>>270333No rules to this shit bud
>>270309>just like many other hobby messageboards, where it's mostly full of posers and deskjockeys who talk about shit they don't know instead of real skaters?at best.. now it's a horror show of retards and trannies. Back in the day admitting you posted on a forum would be extremely embarrassing.
>>270340seriously? I thought it wouldnt because skaters have always been into making videos and they would have uploaded them to places, which is not much different from posting on forums in my opinion.
>>270344forums used to be pretty comfy tbqh. i think a big factor is that everyone who used a skate forum back in 2005 was like 22 years old tops so it meant everyone on there actually fucking skated and posted clips even if we were all middleschool retards.places like slap are full of used-to-skate reddit dads
>>270151>>270153the clitoris is a tiny penis
>>270195indys are good because they're heavy and you can replace them like you can replace a zippo, no questions asked
>>270217>dude weed era between 2010-2013weed didn't exist then, especially with Alva and Tiltmode
>>270344up until recently, say 2015+ and especially post-covid, the only people who frequented forums were people who spent a lot of time online. most skaters spent all of their free time skating instead. video was posted on social media, or early youtube. I remember all my shit lost with myspace. I had never heard of slap, and I knew about forums from other hobbies. hell, I had never heard of slap magazine. everyone had transworld, thrasher, and skateboardmag. but anyways, yeah, back in those days you just skated, didn't spend tons of time online unless it was for videogames
>>270328We've been together for a while here, if you are the anon who has been posting the anime maid skating. I was the OP who took over after ThreadKilla, introducing music in the OP if you remember.
>>270350Over the last 10 years it's been concentrated by the tranny mods into just the biggest faggots ever and trannys, nothing else can survive there
Switch pop shuv rewind is my favorite trick to do
>>270306you know what I mean though. I took my muscle-atrophied legs outside to skate for a few minutes today. did a handful of ollies trying to feel somewhat comfortable with them and get more than a 2 inches off the ground. then I very gently attempted a nollie flip a dozen times. sketchy landings but hey I'm not starting at bare bottom which would be completely demoralizing. just after that, my shins and hip feel like I had been doing high-impact skating for an hour. I'm really contemplating building a small miniramp to build my leg muscles back up before I try anything stupid and get a real injury. It's strange that I could land a nollie flip but regular kickflips just don't even feel safe at all. my end goal is to just be able to ollie high as hell again and skate miniramps/parks without getting injured seriously or having chronic pain. small flow/transition skating, distance gaps, and step ups were always my favorite things to skate back in the day. along with long but low rails and curved benches/planters. there are no parks anywhere nearby, the one I grew up skating got closed down like most indoor parks.>>270237I actually threw in some white doh-dohs and it helped a bit it seems. I completely forgot how it takes a while to get used to looser trucks when you're a beginner. I probably skated completely locked down trucks for 2 years back in the daywhen I was a new skater before people gave me shit for it. pretty sure I even had black doh dohs in when I weighed like 60lbs soaking wet.
>>270413Sometimes the pain just isn't worth it, I can only skate for five mins at a time now getting old sucks, working out and running only help so much, skatings a different animal. I've basically thrown in the towel it's over for me, but im happy cause I ripped properly when I could
>>270415Yep time to go into hospice, its over
>>270415well, I've at least got to find out if it's just a matter of getting my body built back up for it gradually, or if my body is actually worn out. never had any issues until I stopped skating, but it's been a long time. my lifestyle has been fairly sedentary except weekends, so hopefully that's all it is. I'm fine with just skating one day a week if that's the best I'm eventually able to muster, I just want to get decently good. I know I'll never be even half as good as I once was because I'll never do any truly risky stuff, but at this point it's just about having fun and getting good balance back. that shit is important as you get older anyways
>>2704155 minutes? Is that straight up ollieing the whole time? I can't see riding around causing that, unless your wheels are hard and smol
>>270415>I can only skate for five mins at a time nowhave you considered not being a fatass?
>>270423It's my ankle retard
>>270429the first time I stepped back on a board after a decade away, I has ankle pain after just pushing around four a couple of hours straight. felt like tendonitis or something. I'm convinced it was 100% from pushing. I covered like 5 miles on a bike path and was pushing hard for speed. hoping that doesn't come back now on my current attempt. I'm gonna try not to overdo it during sessions on this go.
>>270429Whats wrong with it? I recently fixed mine after having chronic achilles tendonitis. A little cross training and PT go a long way
>>270441It's been fucked up for 10 years I rolled it too many times, hurts just pushing
>>270445Sometimes even hurts when I walk or drive for too long
I bought a pair of Lakai telfords when they were having that $35 sale and I'm finally getting around the wearing them. Holy fuck these things are uncomfortable. There's no cushioning anywhere, the insoles are paper thin yet rock hard, and the shoes themselves weigh 40 pounds each and have no board feel.They're like a combination of all the worst parts of both vulcs and cupsoles with none of the benefits.
>>270454sounds like you got a messed up ligament or somethng. get tha shit scanned
>>270457they got popular because they look like dunks. so many people skate that shoe.
fรผr mich, es ist vans rowanssehr Komfy (beobachten) looks like they just came out with a shitty 2.0 version and the originals are no longerthe pop cushion is goodly.
>>270459I'm good they're just gonna tell me it's fucked up like I already know
>>270460A little bit, but no one with eyes will ever confuse the two and the telford removes all the good parts of the dunk.
>>270464>can't skate because of ankle>refuses to even attempt to get it fixedyou sound like knee anon when he would say shit like "I used to do that too until one day THAT happened! :( "
>>270484I have a knife tat right where the pain is I think it was meant to happen. But anyway I'm on Medicare dude they're not gonna do shit
>>270413I still ride my trucks tight and so does Guy Mariano.

[Heartwarming]the spot that looked shitty is lowkey fun as hell
>>270415>injured>aging>RUNSDon't run, dumbass, you're just causing wear.
>muh ankleskill issue
Skating is funMy shoes are so fucking uncomfortable. I should have kept one pair of my vans shoes that I liked so i can just buy it again.It's terrible but i've bought three shitty pairs of shoes in a row. It's cause my feet are so wide and i always pick a shoe that's too tight.
>>270497Lmao imagine breaking your wrists when u have no legs
> the skateboarding industry is marketing literal basketball shoes and air force 1s as skate shoes nowI remember when this shit started. first dunks, then adidas marketing indoor soccer shoes as skateboard shoes. corporate companies are really fucking terrible. it's not even unc nostalgia brain either, because brands like vans for the most part have stagnated with zero innovation so they are just as bad.
> There Skateboards: Inclusive skateboard company focused on community and progression.> Unity Skateboarding: Queer skateboarding brand and collective.How did we get here.
>>270516I wonder what phelps stance on all this would be
> 1995-2005If you wore slim jeans, you got called a fag skater> 2005-2015If you wore baggy jeans you got called a wigger skater> 2015-2025If you wore slim jeans you got called an unc skater> current yearUnc skaters either wear skinny or baggy jeans based on what era they chose to stay in mentally. some uncs have even been through the entire rotation.
>>270523Nigga I wear silk
What if you wore pajama pants? They're thinner than jeans and sweatpants for summer. What were you called if you skated in sweatpants anyway? I don't talk to people so I don't know.
>>270525>pj pantspost face tattoos
>>270508Try Splay. They make barefoot skate shoes so they got a wider toe box and aren't as cobtraining. Might work for you unless you are a fat ass.
>>270508doesn't new balance have wide options in some shoes?
>>270525I like girls that wear hello kitty pajamas but I know they pussy stink
>>270527>pj pants>face tattoosIs this a thing? Is it a skater thing?
I spent hours looking at which wheels to buy this weekend. Meanwhile other skaters I see have the same board for years with amazon wheels. I feel like a retard.
>>270538Why can't you choose? Just pick some wheels, put on board and go skate
>>270539all the designs suck
>>270540No one sees or cares about how your wheels look

>>270547Branding can get you laid chicks dig it
>>270549No, its a mega-ick. They love riding my blank board and blank wheels, and letting me lick their sweaty tight pussies after.Finally found what I'm looking for. Now I will have 2 setups ready to go. One for parks, and one for streets. No more wasting time changing wheels quickly before the sun sets between work and skating

The truth is you start out eating pussy but eventually you'll come across a pussy that just puts you off of eating pussy for the rest of your life, that's what happens with sex havers
Also hilarious that trannies think their shitty asshole is a replacement for a pussy lmao what a bunch of lunatics

The Nike PS8 might be the best skating shoe I've ever worn but holy fuck does it disintegrate fast. This thing might last a week or less on a teenaged skate rat's foot in the summertime.
i dont care about anything besides skateboarding
Where do you guys wear through your shoes?I'd always wear through the bottom of the shoe. On the spot where the ball of my big toe is.

>>270625did music taste die in 2015?
Just report this motherfucker, his posts are very easy to make out 270620We have stopped putting pastebins in the OP. Does anybody here even remember the shoe pastebin? I think we also had the guide to the webm converter.I am also annoyed that people couldn't tell it was the resident troll making most of the OPs in the past few years, deliberately omitting the OP pastebins
>>270629are there even enough shoe companies left for the shoe pastebin to matter?that youtube channel where they cut open the shoes does a pretty good job of explaining what you're gonna get
>>270620> dress like a hardcore rocker> get beat up by a guy with a jewfro
>>270631Come on, we had the pastebin in 2014 and 2015 when there was no Fallen and no Axxion and others either.
>>270626rarely ever has the skateboard scene ever had good taste in music. ever had good music in a part. there are only a handful of note. it's always been the same carousel through the eras. avante garde hipster shit, hip hop, mainstream "ace of spades" type metal, repeat. I've always thought the biggest cringe in all of skting was the music for the video parts. then you realize that most filmers/directors of skate videos aren't very high IQ, aren't hollywood types. they're just the male vrsion of art hos. it's sad when one of the best songs in a part was "What you waiting for" by gwen stefani. a literal pop song. kek

Independent bearings?
>>270741I'd put money on an OD.
What's up with the buy local shilling?I found local skate shops from other cities, and general websites selling things for 40-60% less than my local shopsGot some amazing deals and skating isn't expensive anymore. Too bad I found these sites late. I could've saved $150
>>270769there are barely even any local shops anymore unless you live in a seriously busy city. people think the online market killed shops but that's simply not the case. shit like ccs was already popular back in the day. what killed shops originally was the overall decline in the amount of young skaters starting with the younger zoomer generation. a lot of shops were also tied in with paid indoor skateparks, which were killed off by free skateparks. it's finny because everyone always wanted free outdoor skateparks to be built everwhere, and it took them until around 2010 to even do so in smaller less populated areas of the country. when they finally did, naturally everyone went there instead of paid parks. those core paid parks and the shops with them couldn't pay the bills any longer. it especially sucked in places where you get a lot of rain. now all you have is a fucking outdoor concrete park to skate. 2000-2010 was the fucking golden era man. the talent is obviously higher now... but the actual amount of skaters is down, and the culture is so fractured. maybe if you live in socal or some shit it's still great, but everywhere else it really fell off gradually after 2010. most of the guys I grew up skating with are living the california couchsurfing life until they're too old to do it anymore, even guys who aren't ever gonna be pro. lots of them are kind just locked in at that flow/am level. I don't know what they're gonna do once they hit late 30s and have no career or money. skateboarding only really seems like it's not dying because of easy access to media and social online, but in person it is a shadow of it's former glory. if you ever go to a demo or contest these days, it's all millennials and zoomers. there are rarely kids there watching or skating parks.
>tighten the bearings>the colour seal pinches the balls inside>wheels barely spin nowwhat the fuckI tried taking off the bearing seal and bending them back to a flat shape, but it didn't make any difference. These $45 ace bearings are ruined from the seals/colorful park being warpedAm I a retard, or is this skate equipment shit
>>270778I don't know what any of that means and I've been skating 30 years
>>270777It doesn't help that a lot of local shops, even the ones that are considered reputable on a more national stage, can be complete scumfucks if they feel like they can get away with it. I know it's anecdotal, but my personal experiences with trying to order from real brick and mortar stores that were too far for me to drive to have been mostly negative, yet CCS has never fucked me over the way, say Brooklyn Projects has.
>>270780the bearing seals pinch the bearings and slow them down
>>270781I don't fuck with CCS because they promote trannies. Used to order from them and Active mailorder all the time in the early 2000s before they went under though. I usually just buy from Skatewarehouse or Tactics.
>>270778You're not supposed to crank those nuts down until they stop. You damaged the bearing with lateral crushing force.

I'd be skating way longer if not for that. I basically just don't have the flexibility or balance anymore. probably lacking some leg power I'd assume. the tricks are there.

I want to ollie so high!! Right now I can get onto 1-2 foot manual padI landed a few switch ollies this week. I have very sore muscles by my ribs.

>>270820stop caring. understand that for one, people laugh at slams even when their friend does it. it's not personal. secondly, as long as you are actually trying to skate and have fun, nobody will make fun of you. skating around 8-12 years olds is better than teenagers and young adult shitheads anyways.

I'll never understand why skateboard filming hasn't evolved. it still and always has looked like shit to have a fisheye lens 6inches from the board. that's why whenever they throw in the alternate angle here and then that's shot from a stationary tripod, it always looks better.
>>270835let's revolutionize it! I can help with your vision together!
sex with ginwoo onodera
>>270835U r gay fisheye is best
>>270845And vx was better
let's be real here... the only reason the fisheye stayed in skating was because most skaters are 12-year-olds with no filmography education. not to mention, most filmers are skaters who weren't good enough to become pro so they just tag along the entire professional careers of their pro friends. I remember teenagers buying and installing fake fisheye lenses just to get the ring around the frame. a fisheye made so many small obstacles look big. if you go to half of the spots in videos you thought were impressive, you're like "this is that spot? shit looks small." why do you think they instead film big stairs and rails exclusively with tripods now?

haven't been here in awhile. i'm the anon who broke his elbow back in may. haven't stepped on a board since. still working on getting strength back in that arm and it sucks.
>>270861have you looked into rice bucket training?idk how suitable it would be based on where you're at in recovery, but as a /fit/fag I know it's a pretty common way of rehabbing elbow injuries and sort of low intensity strength building
>>270862i have not. i got a stress ball thing i squeeze and manipulate, a rubber resistance bar i hold out and twist (like revving a motorcycle), a basic adjustable spring-resistance grip strength squeeze, and i also hold a literal hammer straight out and rotate my wrist/forearm back and forth 180 degrees (supination/pronation).had a bit of a breakthrough this month and almost have full elbow extension, though that may never return. it's less than 5% extension loss which i'm considering a win.all in all i'm making decent progress but all the muscle in that arm has atrophied, and i'm not young so building it back up is going to be a challengengl i haven't even thought about skateboarding the past month or so, aside from a stray thought about maybe selling some of my decks.

I literally don't care about anybody who turned pro after like 2015, it's all been a bunch of nobodies since then
I feel like New Balance would get a lot more market share if they weren't so conservative with their colorways. Give me a retina scorching red shoe.
I tries doing a switch kickturn today, didn't make up my mind halfway through, and fell on my ass and elbow. Its always when I don't wear elbow pads.With it getting colder, and my inability to progress much beyond shuvits, idk where I am going with this.Some say it took them 6 months to learn kickflips. I guess I can do that over the winter... somewhere.hmm
spent so much time learning to skate in my teenage years, getting my tricks and doing gaps and other obstacles at the skatepark. the past couple years my life has become so busy with school, work, social life, other hobbies etc, that skating has been put on the back burner and ive been getting significantly worse from a lack of being on the board.im a fraction of what i used to be, ive lost most of my tricks and mainly my confidence, so all i can really do now is 180 the hip and maybe do a kickflip on flat. risk of injury is not worth it anymore but i used to be good and it has been weighing on me heavily, affecting my day to day mood. how can i cope with the fact that im getting old and skateboarding is just not compatible with my lifestyle anymore?for some context i went to the skatepark today and i was too scared to ollie a 2 stair and i couldn't even do a manual on the box.
>>270953just get into curbs or miniramp or something

the baggy clothes skaters and zoomers in general are wearing now, are the same baggy clothes that got me no pussy when I was that age. they look HORRIBLE and I'm embarassed for even wearing them, but it was the late 90s very early 2000s style. once more slim fitting clothes came around in like 2005-2015, I was still wearing baggy. my shit was never as baggy as the ugly shit they're wearing now though, it looks absurd. that shit is pusy repellant.
>>270992I had to be a little baggy cause I'm kinda fat and no one wants to see that, I always wanted to dress like duffel and greco tho

>>270319>>270314Any anon ever try OJ's double duro wheels? I've been pretty curious about them
if you're in Canada, I can recommend switchnow.caI bought wheels, trucks, and other stuff there and it arrived in 2 days. it's cheaper than anywhere else. I also have a code for an extra 10 percent off. You don't get formula fours for under 60 cad anywhere else. Not sure how its a viable business. I guess it just speaks to the insane markups on this plastic
>>270997Alright I've inspected the videos and determined you didn't make a subtle AIslop with the sole intention of psychologically torturing people.
>>271000peepeepoopoo
>>270999Could be fake there's fake spits you can buy from china
>>270998isn't that the same concept as the ol ricta clouds but in reverse? it sounds backwards and even worse. it's just not really possible to get the best of both worlds, regardless of marketing gimmick. it's always gonna be a compromise. if you're really insistent on making hard wheels better for crusty pavement, you just gotta get wider wheels, and go up in diameter also. soft wheels are for crusing. they feel weird when you pop and land, there is too much bounce and not enough feedback from them. you can get used to it if you skate them all the time, but not if you're trying to go back anf forth. I've got an entire setup with big softer wheels, it's still a trick style popsicle deck and trucks, I've just got risers and 60mm wheels on it. ollies over stuff is about as "trick" as I get with it though.
>>271003>I've just got risers and 60mm wheels on it.What hardness? I just want a small wheel in the 80-90 range and there's nothing cheap available. These wheels here>>270895are 55mm 78a, but I'm not sure the bearings are removable, does anyone know?
>>271004mine are 88a. that sounds like it's not very soft, but it is compared to your normal hard street wheel. it's just not gummy bear soft like a 78a for example. the risers I'm using are OJ juice cubes which are a soft style riser to absorb vibration which helps your feet not go numb from vibration, but definitely makes the pop feel even more numb when doing ollies. what exactly is your intended purpose? globe is an international brand and has some pretty cheap wheels. just note that softer wheels, and especially cheap ones will probably chunk and flatspot extremely eeasy if you hit something at an angle.
>>271005>88aThat sounds great, I'm on 100a 52mm and the racket and vibrations on pavement are too much.>globeI doubt they're cheap, I haven't found anything in legitimate skate shops, I have to cop something off a kids' board.

I don't wear skate shoes anymore
Skating with music on is my crutch
btwDo you guys wear a helmet? The stickied thread says you should but I rarely do
>>270998I have them they're decent for skatepark but I haven't tried many other wheels to compare them to. Not great on rough terrain
>>271033>tfw I had a pair of รฉs shoes that had the sole fall completely off a week after I bought them and the Sole Tech rep shrugged and said it wasn't his problemNike was just getting started at that point and pretty much every skater in the state swapped from accels to dunks overnight purely because of one regional rep being a dickhead to everyone.Nike knew what they were doing, too. They're shit now because they're entrenched and don't have to care, but contacting Nike about a QC issue in 2003 meant they sent you free shoes with almost no questions asked and no need to return the bad ones, so you could still skate them if the problem was trivial enough.
very tempted to build a miniramp in my apartment. I have the space and I'm on the ground floor...
I haven't kept up with the skating scene in years. See Andy Anderson. Think he's just one of "those guys" who does weird shit to make up for lack of core skills. ignore him. finally watch some videos of him and realize he's actually one of the best overall skaters of all time. can skate anything. very consistent even in raw b-roll videos. does very technical shit that 99% of skaters couldn't do. not even caring about his freestyle shit, that's not my thing. the way he does the nosegrinds and hops over to the other side nosegrind is something nobody ever thought to do. all this time I thought he was a gimmick skater.
>>271048>I thought he was a gimmick skater.Tards pushed this idea because he doesn't fit in with what the 'core' crowd considers cool, especially due to the helmet. They were frightened that he was ruining the image of skating because he started getting pushed into the mainstream a lot. The backlash got worse when the older beginner crowd started idolising him and buying his ugly decks. Most people who have AA decks are probably 45+. Of course, these 'core' cunts underestimate how little most people think of skating so it wouldn't have affected anything, but they did get scared for a second there. Lame, insecure bitches that take themselves too seriously and want to be taken seriously.
>>271037They're still the best looking sneakers even if you don't skate.
>>271033Etnies was bunched in with Emerica and eS where I am and quite popular, Emerica was the least worn. Osiris and DC were cool too. Vans were always gay. >>271052They used to be, just feet slop now. You either get a vulcanised canvas shoe, a dunk rip off or a wannabe 90s shoe but way worse quality.
>>271048he has been marketed very poorly

>>271056>He sounds based.he always is
Seasonal shift sales are going on for those looking to get some of the ugliest shoes ever conceived for low prices. Managed to grab a pair of fairly normal looking shoes for 40 quid including shipping. Not great, but better than the 65-70 they initially sold for.
>>271053>Vans were always gay.they weren't, and that's a bit ironic coming from you.
I skate in tns onlyIf u copy my swag I will kill u
>>271063>He doesn't like garish colorsngmi
> watch andy anderson vlog style videos> casually busts tre flip down a 10 stair followed immediately by a kickflip down a 5 stair right after, all during a 10 minute unedited random nyc fuck around line.yeah, he's not just some gay flatground, no comply skater like most people think. he must be an autistic savant to get this good in bumfuck bc canada. he also skates transition better than nearly every pro street skater. also fucks around on vert ramps. I feel like if he didn't do flatground tricks and other weird old school tricks he would be seen as SOTY type goat.
cheese & crackers is the best skate video of all time
>>271069It genuinely sounds like you don't quite know what transition is.Andy Anderson is even more retarded than his name sounds. Rodney Mullen could be called an autistic savant, but he has always been humble and passionate. That C*nadian mouthbreather thinks he's awesome even though he's a tryhard copycat
>>271069Remember when he went to the Berrics and lost a game of skate because he couldn't do basic shit like switch flips and nollie heels?
>>271075yes and he seems to hav gotten twice as good since then somehow. >>271074have you seen him rip parks with 10ft+ bowls?
>>271074>That C*nadian mouthbreather thinks he's awesome even though he's a tryhard copycatNo he doesn't, he never gives off that impression.You've just listened to others suck him off too much and like a retard you're mad at him for it.
I thought frankie villani was a cringe gimmick skater because the part of his that I watched was very underwhelming. then I went back some time later and watched an older part of his, it was insane. lol. and he was fatter back then to bat
where do you skate in winter and there is snow?I checked a few indoor parking garages last night, but they were all locked to keep homeless out. I will check again in the day
>>271069>flatground tricks and other weird old school tricksGo fuck yourself with a chainsaw
I been sober for like 15 years but I bought some beer today it's kinda nice, makes me wanna skate

>>271093having friends would be nicebut I'm proud of coming this far without any
>>271094iktf friends will only hold you back
the only guys who wanted to be my friend in the past 7 years have been gayMaybe some mega autists too
>>271095thank you for understanding
This week's closing thoughtsMy switch stance is coming along. I can kickturn on slopes now and don't fall. Committing and turning my shoulders was keyHippie jumps have helped me a lot overall. They are a great warmupI need to get over my fear of doing tricks somehow. Like doing a pop shuvit and jumping forwards to land on it is wild and I cannot believe so man men can do even crazier tricksPracticing manuals is creating another razor edges board :/
>>271102>I need to get over my fear of doing tricks somehowtry doing them into grass.you could also get a carpet and a snowskate, that's how i learned most tech shit when i was a kid>and jumping forwards to land onif you have do do this you are doing your shuvs wrong. they should come right to your feet
>>271076I've seen random 14 year olds rip 10ft bowls, in fact I've landed a few backside airs and can't be considered a good skater. Bowls are fun but they're for grandpas. >>271077I gave him a chance, worked past my cringe, and watched several videos a few years ago. He has a weird dynamic with his filmers, something like "look at how gnarly this is going to be daddy, did you see that, am I cool yet?". He sounds retarded FOR A SKATER which is a damn low bar. Even a guy like Andrew Reynolds who sounds like he forgets how to tie his shoelaces every now and then sounds smart compared to that special needs helmet wearer. And his skating just doesn't look good, lacks lightness and flow.
>>271106your idea of "ripping" is different. I'm not talking about airs. those are easy as a kickturn andy anderson can rip a big bowl like a seasoned skater. if you can't see it, then you don't know what bowl skating is supposed to look like. also, "style" is the most subjective and dumb thing in the skate community. motherfuckers glaze dudes who literally only skate ledges and manual pads because muh style, meanwhile they can't skate anything else. same with people glazing black dudes who can ollie high with their arms down, which unironically looks like shit.
>>271109>"look at how gnarly this is going to be daddy, did you see that, am I cool yet?">And his skating just doesn't look good, lacks lightness and flow.Don't even bother with this faggot, whether he's baiting or retarded doesn't matter.
Andy Anderson is into CBT
>>271109fwiw i think the things the make bowls sick are highly feel based and it's hard to show that on video.
>>271109I'm not denying that Anderson is a very apt skateboarder, he definitely deserves to be a pro, but I find him insufferable, he's not the endearing type of dork. Not commenting on ledge skaters, they're legit as they come. The only type of skaters who only do one type of skating that I don't get are flatground dudes. Where's the risk?>>271110He literally says shit like "woah man did you see how far back I tipped the board on this rock'n'roll, that was so cool". I don't mind stupid people but the least they can do is be humble. I genuinely find his skating blocky, rushed, overwrought. Sure, it's cool to be able to pop a darkslide, but it feels like everything he does is to be validated and seen, not for his own satisfaction.
everyone always touches Ginwoo too much, its creepy. Not sure how he tolerates it
>>271117Such is the life of a twink, the downsides are attached to the perks. It's the same for other types. I've been called a "hunk", had my arms felt by stranger women, am expected to carry heavy stuff and be the mediator in conflict, I just have to carry my designated cross innit
>>271106>Bowls are fun but they're for grandpas.I don't even walk past the edge of a bowl.
>>271109>"style" is the most subjective and dumb thing in the skate communityStyle is the only thing that matters. I don't care if Nyjah does a switch 3 flip down el toro because he's going to look like a kid that shit his pants while he does it. I would much rather see Leo Romero nosegrind a foot tall flatbar.
>>271127Bro, I was thinking the same thing when I started skating, but honestly, Nyjah is a fucking beast. What is bad about him is that he doesn't have a connection to the culture so much: he is not from a crew, he wasn't in any homie or skateshop videos, he was fast tracked to be a competition machine and to have sponsorships. But his street parts are all-time.
>>271127>I don't care>I would much ratherOh boy it's this guy again. You probably look like a kid that shit his pants just walking around.
Nyjahs goated
>>271127I am this anon>>271128Do you want to know a real homie video skate part? Watch Dee Ostrander's in Thriving On High Fives. That set the bar high. Or anything by Mango. And I say this as someone who skates barely faster than a snail and loses his kickflips every time I go out.
>>271133Zoomer gatekeeping the past he wasn't there for spotted
>>271133Dee ostrander kinda sucks, I was at the park with him once and we were doing the same shit
>>271136Sucks meaning he probably shouldn't have been pro he didn't seem on that level

Fuck lumber prices, building a box costs way too much money now.
>>271140that was shockingly bad
>>271136Sure bro
>>271065youre safe bro dont even worry
>>271169Do you feel insulted by that? Is he your boyfriend
Gifted hater is kinda gay but man his fans are sooooper gay
How're 90a wheels for pavement?
>>271189They'll roll. But I always say softer wheels are better for beginners but that's kind of soft
Dustin dollin girlfriend is gonna cut the pee pee off
>>271189whay is this Nyjah homie shit? Just because he grew up groomed to skate? He literally has his own small crew now, and one of the guys on there grew up at my local park with everyone else, we know him personally. Came from bumfuck and is as grassroots/core as you can get.
>>271116Doesn't have to be risky to be either fun or legit.>>271189I recently had a board made and the guy in the shop was so helpful, he got wheels out to check different hardnesses and he had me slide the wheel on the edges of the cupboard where the shop was keeping them. I didn't know until now that there IS a difference between 97 and 99. It's a good test, try it if your shop has wheels out of a package.
>>271189any wheels roll on pavement. what are you asking? are you talking about is it good for really rough shitty pavement? probably. it's just one of those weird durometers. if you're really trying to skate REALLY shitty pavement, you want softer probably. 90a is more for medium shitty pavement.
>>271213>90a is more for medium shitty pavement.Perfect.
just remembered that templates for skateboards are a thing and i like to draw stuff, if esg were to design a skateboard, what would be on the graphic?

There's a new, but I won't post in it unless it's linked both ways
What tricks can a newb do on this island? All of its sides are like 115 deg angles with no curve.Why do faggots always design parks for no one?
>>271394parks aren't for noobs
>>271394You could go up it and ollie off. That other ramp seems beginner friendly.What on the other side where the picture is being taken.
>>271396I can just ollie on and off the manual pad. The walls are too steep for me to wall ride evenThis park feels boring, so I thought I'd ask
>>271397>The walls are too steep for me to wall ride evenYou can make it up there with speed, I'm a newb and did it on a whim, the getting off part is what's difficult. If you've really dialed in ollieing off the manual pad you could ollie off the top.
>>271397wallie up it. just go fast and jump/go weightless up the thing
>>271399he'd be better off starting with rolling off before trying to pop an ollie off the damn thing, he wouldn't need that much speed to clear the slope
>>271394you cant, *reads paper* ollie a curb?
