>trick tip: stretch and warm up witg the basics before going buck
This saved my old body so many times, take your time to warm up, even stretch if needed. So many tricks will go much easier with warm and supple muscles.
Skated for the 6th times now after a 10 year break long boarding. Love rippin in smaller halfpipes, the small ones are so much fun with different stalls, grinds and plants.

Hey so I’m trash at skateboarding (can barely land Ollie’s) but I’ve been trying that exhale technique as of late and I feel I’ve been landing my Ollie’s more consistently. Could be I’ve been skating more and just gotten better that way, but couldn’t hurt to try the breathing technique. Feels like I bail out less compared to before.

Gotta give the skatefags credit. They're the only ones we haven't run off yet. The sumo and air soft generals didn't put up half this effort.

Any Brazilian here? Especially São Paulo
I've been doing kickflips recently and I've had trouble with the direction of the flick.
I’ve always heard to keep your shoulders square but what about hips? I’m having a really hard time doing the flick to the 10:30 direction (assuming the nose points to 12) and I think it might be because I keep my hips parallel to the board. Is this not necessary?
um i guess ill be "that guy" and say that this is sort of bad advice because this kind of shit is exactly what you dont want to be doing, which is, overthinking things. like if youre worrying about how youre fucking breathing when trying stuff youre just cluttering your mind up more. but hey whatever works for you.
also wouldnt trying stuff with your lungs empty be a perfect recipe for slamming and getting your 'wind knocked out'? that fucking sucks thats definitely a situation i want to avoid but thats just me
Here, this is much more due to people being more focused on style.
Try kicking it slightly downwards, and you'll probably land it.
ETA
So yeah, its not necessary, its for the extra steeze
You either skate
Or you die
People like you don't deserve to have a board.
>been taking my sweet ass time learning ollies
>hops consistent
>pops getting there
>for the first time ever, actually leveled out the board with my front foot
>twice in a row
>lose them immediately afterward
hey, progress is progress
Keep those two makes in the back of your head. Knowing how a trick is supposed to feel is half the battle and now you know.
Speaking of ollies. Does anyone else enjoy watching a fluid skater pop a rocket ollie while hauling ass? High popping rockets look bad, I mean those low, nonchalant little pops.
>noise rises on the pop
>click-clack landing
>nose slams down like a clamshell snapping shut
I like em. They feel riskier than a full Ollie when your going fast. At least at first. Then you get good at them and you can use them to your advantage to clear patches of crust.

Parks full of scooter kids. How's your Sunday?
Thank you
Bretty good. Learned sweepers for the fuck of it because little park sharks do it all the time. Also learned Ollie Nose Bonk Fakie after seeing some Penny footy get reposted on insta.
Skated switch at the end of the sesh for practice, and holy shit, I fucking suck ass at switch. Even pushing switch going fast is kinda jenky sometimes and I have to treat it like it's fakie to even make it feep stable. I guess it really comes down with muscle memory but it was kinda eye opening. It truly is like learning how to skate all over again, to a degree.

frontside 180s okay, kickflips eh could be better. really want to learn frontside flips, does anyone have pointers on them
this actually helped me back in the day
Yea Forums here. Is mid90s accurate? I was born in 97 and don't skate so I have no way of knowing
aesthetically? yes.
but a little too much of an idealized jonah hill self-insert if you ask me. that scene where the kid is getting a complete built at the shop that was shot like it was jesus christ himself descending on us was cringey as fuck.
I'm just bitter because I used to like jonah hill but now it just seems like he drank the hollywood kool-aid and sees himself as an auteur of some kind.
How hard actually are hardflips? Anyone who can share? How long did they take you?
not that much if you have a good kickflip, I recommend kickflipping over a pyramid hip to get that feel of your front foot flipping frontside if you want the not-too-vertical kind of hardflips
Are good front shuvs important? I suck at them bad
Sunday I had to work, today I called in sick
won't skate though I am really sick.
i think its more about having quick flick, i can fs shuv really good and cant hardflip due to bad flick
user you replied to here, they help but also thisbut you probs should learn stuff your body is naturally better at, pay attention to which direction your shoulders spin easier and where you scoop easier and build your bag of tricks on that. easier to learn a lot that way IMO
>tfw nice out but with regular showers
Got a raging skate boner but the last time I was impatient I ruined my bearings. Hold me bros.
So I just came to the realization that by bending my knees before the pop and on the landing, an ollie becomes a thousand times more manageable and it feels like I've unlocked a new ability in a video game.
to me, it was realising I must not get afraid to pop and use my goddamned front foot
I see. Interesting. What year were you born/how old were you in the actual mid 90s?
Jeremy Thackeray
doing all sorts of fuckery
I only overcame that recently and I still don't have it consistent but the knees thing definitely helped with this as well, just by the virtue of making me feel safer thanks to added stability and control. The feeling of tail bolts hitting the back foot in the air as the board levels out is pure sex.
I haven't really felt that, maybe my ollies are still erratic, but I am able to clear two decks
small kid. most of my memories of that era come from old videos I watched between roughly 97-02. honestly, if you check out some parts from the 90's, you'll find that the movie got the look and feel right.
Maybe I'm the one doing it weird. I never ollied over an obstacle so I definitely won't lecture you.
you're skateboarding, which is the most important thing in the world.
I know, my brother. Had a great session today, skateboarding fucking slaps.
I loved the OJ wheels so much i'm going to try their "Elite" series. Got some Raybourn 54mm 101a's. I'm assuming they'll be the exact same as Insane-a-Thanes. Since I know F4's are godlike I really wanna try Bones STF's next to REALLY narrow down a wheel I like. So far Spitfire is undefeated, but god damn, OJ is giving it a run for it's money. One thing I noticed about OJ's is when you smack your wheels on the ground (like when giving a skatebro props) it's more like a brittle smack than a thud, this may indicate slightly harder urethane in OJ's. I'll stick with F4's for indoor, 99a's have the perfect grip for wood.
Well... I've always been good at doing things backside. But I suck at BS 180s. I can BS Flip but I will land like two out of ten 180s. I don't know what I'm doing wrong
Haven't been on a pair of spitfires in years. Current and last set have been bones. Just switched from their park formula to street. A little softer. Feels less icy when I need to powerslide at higher speeds. Haven't tried any OJ's yet.
I always slapped my nose or tail not the wheels.
Remember to rotate your wheels as soon as you notice that one rear wheel starting to get smaller.
All vehicle X pattern. Pic related
>Jeremy Thackeray
You mean Jordan?
Yeah I already commited to Bones STF's as my next set of wheels. There was a 9 year old set of Pig wheels collecting dust at the local skateshop. It made me laugh, does Pig even still make wheels? I remember them being okay but their durometer measuring was out of whack.
This is actually good advice and also an easy way of getting rid of flatspots.
Meant to quote you, my bad.
Where should I shop for skate clothes? I've been going to the thrift store because they usually have good quality stuff for cheap, and because I like the designs better. For example, I copped some 90s looking denim jeans in new condition for $2, meanwhile if I wanted to buy something like them from a skate store they'd cost $70. I'm sick of the thrift store because I want new clothes, but I don't know any good stores, online or real life. Everything I've been looking at is basic shit with brand logos plastered all over the clothing. When I ride, I don't want to be a rolling advertisement.
literally just wear what you feal confident in, what ever that may be. for me its some big ass jeans or cargos. my own style makes me vomit desu but im happy

What's even better is landing tricks in front of security, who are bewildered and don't know what the fuck to do. Getting that shit on film is a thing to be desired. I recently had an incident of skating a park before it was done being built, despite "no trespassing" signs, the cops just drive on by, not giving a shit despite lame pedestrians calling the cops on me.

Why does the slap messageboard suck so bad. I find myself coming here more and more
We are the patricians.
It’s skate and destroy. Those two go hand in hand
Slap is like what Mike Vallely told about Plan B on his "30 most influential" interview: Slap came around and took online skateboard discussion by storm. Yea Forums had the potential though.
lwl, the /wwe/tards have worked some Yea Forums magic
guys, Yea Forums won't play STEEP with me. it's currently free on uplay and pretty much SKATE but on snow. come play with me pls, I used to skateboard during the 90s and actually partied and chilled with harold hunter.
Get out, snownigger
I would but I'm at home and my desktop is in my college town
I’ve work ski lifts in the winter and skate in the summer. Trust me your not welcome here. This is for people who use skateboards to perform tricks and want to learn how to get better at it. Longerboarders aren’t welcome either. Sorry I don’t make the rules
my computer is shit
hang around though, share Harold stories.
whats your local scene like? if its big enough theres probably someone making shirts there. or wear the shirts made by the shop in your area if you fuck with them.
Buy slacks that stretch. Wear a breathable shirt. Nike’s if you have narrow feet, vans slip on pros if they’re flinstone feet like mine
I orgasm when the GX1000 guys do that
Specially Pspliff, rip
if anyone living in europe needs size 7.6 decks, they are 18€ on here streetammo.eu

Will download,but only because you posted a cute pic,dude.
Once this game is downloaded how will we find each other?
started with a 7.5 like 9 years ago, would definitely like to see how I’d do on one today (8.5 atm)

>attempt, half flip
>attempt, kick it out in front
>attempt, rockets and lands with feet close together

well Yea Forums was started to counterattack the type of forum that slap is so maybe thats why it seems better by conparision. when they started Yea Forums in 2003 it was because on SA it showed your reg date above every post. so people would auto ignore anyone with a new regdate and it became just a small handful of people interacting with eachother. on slap they dont show your regdate but they show your rep count so the same problem ends up occuring, and thats why Yea Forums can seem better by comparision (not saying it is or isnt)
The fuck are two on about? Every fall/winter the snowbros have their little discussions here on /esg/ and no one has had a problem with it.
FUCK YOU SKATESIMPS IM TAKING OVER
Exactly. You know, the fact that we are the only "alternative sport" left on this board is fucking sad.
But that got me thinking...
>Doesn't the fact that we're in the Olympics make us a "real" sport? Can't we just migrate to Yea Forums?
It's a good point. A few anons have brought it up before. Might be worth a try after the Olympics.
UFC and other fighting sports have switched over to Yea Forums. IMO leXtreme/boardsports won't be welcome. Yea Forums is for sports that are watched by the masses. Stuff that plays at pubs.

lived in new york with my grandmother during my middle school years. met him a few times at the banks, but was too pussy to talk to him. think it was around the 4th time I saw him, dude was with ponte drinking and shooting the shit when they asked if I wanted to play skate. got my ass stomped, but he was cool and gave me a shirt. from then on whenever i'd see them at the banks, would let me chill and give me tips on whatever I was currently learning. to be honest, I only partied him with once and it was nearby at some dude's place(had no idea who the guy was) left around 10:00 because I was only 12, but it was good shit seein' a bunch of pros hanging out and watching skate vids.

Daily reminder that if you cant skate barriers you are gay
Got bs wallrides on barriers. Found some of the smaller plastic orange ones driving by a nearby school. Haven't skated them, yet.
Rodrigo TX's new part

Is wallride on a barrier a wallride?
Aren't barriers technically transition, and wouldn't that make it a kickturn?
>transition
I miss Shane Cross guys...
except transition is actually good now?

going to buy a skateboard again after like a 7 year break but i'm unsure about the deck width i should get. On one hand i was used to use an 8 incher and all, but i'm 6ft1 now so i don't know if i should go slightly bigger.
>shalom
that's a Slap meme
in which btw I cannot register. I don't know why, my IP is preemptively banned.
called in another day sick from work lads, devilish
8 is where you should start. I'm 6'3 and skate an 8.5

6'5. I ride an 8.5. big board gang.
What deck size do you guys ride? I see a lot of mentions of 8.5s so I got quite intrugued.
I ride a 8.25 and want to return to 8.125.
FUCK WORK
SKATE ALL DAY
Isn't every wall a transition? So all wallrides are either kickturns or carves?
Who cares, he brought nothing to the table. Phelps was a punk
do you know what transition means?
>tfw I'm 5'11" and ride a 9.25"
No, walls are definitely not transition.

how can i get a skater bf
So how do I actually get into skating without feeling like a moron? I can hardly stand on the board while it's moving, and i realize the best bet is to just practice, but doing it alone i feel like a goober. Should I see if I can find other people in my town that skate? Would people think I'm dumb for trying to hang out with people when I can't even skate yet?
if you really cared you wouldn't be asking those questions
Look man, why do I have to start as a ride or die, can't live without it, punk. I got some interest in it, can I just get some advice kicked my way without the holier than though attitude?
it's not hollier than thou, if you really want to skate you'll be out skating, not giving a fuck what other skaters, magazines or media tell you. And you'll figure things out for yourself. Responding seriously to your question would actually be "hollier-than-thou" attitude; why should my method be better than yours? And who am I to deprive you of the pleasure of learning?
Dude just skate
Look man, it's something I'm trying to develop an interest in. Clearly the things I've mentioned are a roadblock for me, or I wouldn't be asking for advice on it, and responding with "if you really wanted to skate you'd just be doing it" isn't helping me just do it.
You don't have to help me, but we are in a general thread, so I'm asking a general question. If someone else wants to help out that'd be much appreciated.
Do you have a skatepark where you live? That'll be your best bet to find like-minded people who also skate. Just start up conversation by asking how their day is going, be friendly, and go from there. I got into a skate crew by bringing a barbeque and burgers to the park and said "hey gonna cook some bergs, anyone hungry?" I made instant lifelong friends from doing that.
I can do this but the board rotates between my legs
Yeah, there's a park like 30 minutes from me, I'll give that a go, see if I can get to know anyone out there. Thanks man.
by staying the fuck off of /esg/
But skating is inherently gay
Just go to a park and practice. As long as you have basic park etiquette (don't block traffic or features, don't stay in the bowl for extended periods of time, generally don't be a dick) and you're actually trying then no one is judging you. It doesn't matter if you can barely stand on it just as long as you're not taking up space for no reason. Everyone likes a respectful beginner who's improving more than they like than they like an expert who snakes everyone. Slight judgement if you push mongo maybe, but that's the only thing I can think of. If anyone thinks you're uncool for your skill level they're in middle school.

I'm working on BS 180s and slowly improving. For me, what finally gets the land is making sure my shoulders are just past parallel when I land, weight centered, spot the landing, and pop/hang it juuuust a little more than I'm comfortable with. Also keeping my weigh more toward the direction of travel is an issue since I'm more used to BS slides.
Cool

Was skating at the local d.i.y and Josh Kalis pulls up to skate. About 30 mins later he comes back with shoes, dgk clothes and decks. A+ human being
What the fuck? So jelly :( that's super dope of him
what area? I was going to go to my local d.i.y. today but last minute chose to go to the park instead... I'd be so fucking mad. Though some bikeboi there would've been pinched for weed if I wasn't there, so I'm ok with it either way.
Absolutely mad.

I appreciate this man. When you say don't block traffic or features, that's basically like, stay away from areas people seem to go through a lot and stay out of the way of the rails and stairs and junk, yeah?

SAVED from early death.
I decided to completely upgrade my setup. How’s this look? I’m open to suggestions if anyone has any. Wasn’t sure if it would be worth it to splurge for lighter indys or better bearings.
perfect except maybe switch the hardware to 7/8. feel free to tell how those tablet wheels feel
Thanks man. I’ll swap that hardware. I’m pretty pumped about the wheels so I’ll do a mini review once I’ve been on them for a week or two.
Thank you
Anyone wear a helmet/safety gear?

>skated a bit when younger, could barely Ollie
>started skating again about two weeks ago
>decided to wear a helmet past two sessions
>fucked up practicing shuv its (lol), landed bad, kicked out the board and basically whip lashed the back of my skull onto the pavement
Damn bros, if it wasn’t for that helmet I’d possibly be posting from hospital, lol. I admit I feel a little goofy wearing one, but I think I’ll rock one from now on out after my last session.
I feel like a dunce wearing one, but it keeps me from cracking my skull open. My only issue is I don’t think they’re comfortable.
The fact that Heath is towing him at the spot he FS flipped makes it so much better
I don't wear helmets since they fuck with my balance but I'll wear pads sometimes if I'm doing stuff in the pool
Never on flat, never without it on tranny.
>would be worth it to splurge for lighter indys
Nah bro. Im not about paying more to stand on a hollow kingpin. Standard Indy's have grade 8 kingpins and 4140 steel axles. Cant find any info on hollow kingpin grades or the steel used in hollow axles. My guess is they aren't using grade 8 and 4140 for hollows.
Anyone have a pair of hollows they want to dismount and post a picture of the markings on the kingpin head?
No, but I really should be when I skate tranny taller than 9ft. I've lost all ability what people think of my skating.
Can any skatebros do a solid and recommend me a helmet/pads? All I have is a snowboard helmet which fit the head of a 16 year old me, but now makes me look handicapped in my adulthood.
>Lost all ability to care about what people think of my skating
Ftfm
i appreciate the ghost bumps, mr.ghost, but this shit is getting kinda spooky now. I'm fucking startled.
heavy trucks + light deck is godly
Great taste. Habitat decks are really sturdy from what I remember, but then again I wasn't as hefty as I am now. Trucks are what I skate, but I skate 149mm. Wheels are ace, bearings are good to good. One thing though is because you have 55mm wheels, 144mm trucks and 8.25 deck, you may get a bit of wheel bite. I wouldn't bother for now, but if you get bites on your deck I would get. 1/4 or a 1/2in riser and get longer hardware. Otherwise, I would gladly skate your setup, good stuff.
How do I stop my back foot from leaving my board when I'm doing an ollie? Is it all just a matter of timing?
Nice
when will esg get a discord server and leave this godforsaken hellhole
OK, this is epic
not that guy but I skate 55 on indys (even 56mm cruisers) and I never got wheelbite. he'll be fine.
I'm not sure if I fully understand your question, but your back foot is totally supposed to leave the board. It shouldn't even be touching the board during the pop (i.e. the moment the tail hits the ground). Your back foot is just supposed to send the tail but then you lift it up immediately to create room for leveling the tail.
Honestly, the back foot motion was the biggest hurdle for me. Most drills tell you to lift the nose and drag your front foot. What they don't tell you is that what you do with the back foot is not a stomp, but a quick hop. In reality, ground-tail-foot are never all touching at the same time. It's foot-tail, then tail-ground, then tail-foot again in the air.
wait until you see it first
Hey, I’m the guy who wiped out last session. the helmet that saved my dome was a destroyer. Seemed to fit alright. Just ordered a multi hit helmet off amazon by triple 8 that had decent reviews.
heart failure or opiate overdose
holy FUCK
Thanks guys. I’m buying that fucker right now. I ended up picking up some risers and some 1” hardware along with the 7/8” so I can swap out the risers if I’m not feeling them. Will post a picture of this beauty once it arrives.
No reason to have a discord for something like skateboarding imo, and personally I would stop visiting(inb4 "thats a good thing"). Fits perfectly on Yea Forums.

Brain damage is hesh bro
This but unironically
I think my ollies were looking too much like ollie souths so that's what I wanted to fix. I'm over boning the ollie so I end up landing in a nose manual position. From what I can tell, I just need to stop pushing my front foot so far down so I'm leveled.
So what's the reasoning behind what kind of shoes you want to wear when skateboarding? I got a pair of converse I wear everywhere, is that fine?
sucking dick
bro we stay goobers, if thats what you are YOU'RE ONE OF US so just go skate
>cup
>55mm
>144s
you madman, you want wheel bit
yeah, it turned out to be true, I asked my most goober friend if he skated and he does, so I'm set. Excited to get going.
>practice more and get the feel of jumping like you would on the ground with your feet
sorry its just an experience thing, once you feel it you will get it
anything cupsole
i am now lacking cartilage in important places cuz of thin fucking shoes
protect yo feet foos
Aurelian Giraud vs Yuto Horigome game of skate...
who's your money on?
Oof, imma have to go Yuto.
New posters on /esg/ better read this and fucking LEARN IT.
if you mean chuck taylors or whatever you better put some insoles in them or youre going to hurt yourself jumping down anything bigger than a curb
otherwise its just about preference and what fits your foot shape. people even skate in reeboks.
but yea get some nice insoles kids
I manage to find alot of "skate pants" at places like Ross (see also Marshalls, TJ Maxx) Unlimited stretchy Levis, other stuff from volcom, rvca, matix regularly. Always $10-$20. Some flannels there too. Dickies are great and cheap. I like the 873 better because it has a lower more relaxed waist and is a little slimmer, but hardly a really "slim" fit, the flex fit variety is also more breathable, and less stiff. I mostly get dickies or carhartt pocket tees at local hardware store. Uniqlo U tee for a totally blank tee with carhartt fit and feel. I'm picky about tees and hate the thin material, undershirt like fit that's so predominant on most blanks. I scan tactics, ccs, skatewarehouse etc. for whatever shoes are 50% or more off. They usually have clothes discounted that much too.
My town somewhat recently demolished the only diy skate park. Bummed.
Damn lost the coffee too.

Fuck off discord tranny and stop trying to inject discord into every general. We don't need a discord
Hmmm I wonder who can be behind this post..
Silence nigger
except nobody got it ever from skateboarding and don't tell me about accumulative damage and Phelps, if you want to wear it, wear it, we're not a fucking sport anyway.
I can do a layback boardslide on them.
kek
chill with the slurs, /esg/ is and always has been a diverse board
>nobody ever got brain damage from skateboarding except for those who did but we're not talking about them
who?
there's nothing wrong with putting on a helmet, just don't try to push this on others. If you feel safer with pads, allright, who cares.
????
All of you fuckers must have super weak ankles if you're wheelbiting on 55mm's.
Duane Peters comes to mind
shit man, it's tough to consider
he genuinely was my first skate idol, even before I got into skateboarding, and I'm not talking about the 70s here, I'm talking as a teen in the early 2000s.
bump'n'roll
do you guys subscribe to thrasher? is it worth
Bump
That makes sense since is so diverse rhe nigger might actually be black or the tranny might actually be an disgusting human being
It actually makes it better stop being a cop you faggot
Jesus, shut the fuck up, go back to one of the fuckhead containment boards.

are you a retarded person, cops are synonymous with racist shit, which is what you're throwing out, so shut the fuck up
Sorry faggot but you're under arrest
Yes officer i will stop doing that and do as you tell me sorry for being disruptive
When did /esg/ got filled with racists and cops
Shut the fuck up nigger
You are both wrong
>muh niggers
nobody cares
>stop saying niggers
nobody cares
TL;DR
off yourselves faggots

whaty can you do on a barrier?
hey skaters, answer me this please (for those of you who surf)
its objectively "worth it" because they send you the new issues way in advance, like weeks. also sometimes they pack stuff in with the mags like stickers, poster, dvd, etc.. although not as frequently lately
prepare a new one
see you tomorrow
this is going to be the final bump from me today dawg
