Guys, I don't know if you remember... But I was the user that posted the Polar deck with sky blue grip. It didn't last even two weeks... I want to die. I am broke. Why does this always happen to me. I am hopeless...

No way, source?
Does anyone here have any experience with PP Flight decks?
Also, does dryness play a factor when it comes to these decks? I'm afraid not many people in my country buy them, so they might have been there forever in the shop's warehouse.
they used to get shilled here all the time for a while. has ben de gros done a review of one? thats probably your best bet for good information
youtube.com
Thank you friend
dryness would affect carbon fiber far less than wood, if at all. but i think those boards have a layer of wood, not sure, never seen one irl
They have 5 layers of wood. That's why i'm scard of dryness
same same, just emailed the store my authorization charge. Starting at 25, hoping for the best
>authorization charge
So you're getting charged a fee for essentially telling them "yes, this is what I would like"? If correct that's fucking bullshit, take your business elsewhere.
No, on international business they make a small charge and ask me to check the amount to verify card's actually mine, as they don't have other means. They, obviously, cut those couple of bucks from the actual cost after.
Ah I see, misunderstood as I have never purchased from online, my bad.

>nyjah wins again
I just watched SLS for the first time ever and kept thinking that it's such a weird sport because every run and every trick is a complete lottery. But then there are people like Nyjah and any time a person can win so consistently, it just kind of legitimizes the sport.
Also, there is no one cooler than Chris Cole.
>any time a person can win so consistently, it just kind of legitimizes the sport.

who made you the /esg/ spokesperson
it's not about being a spokesperson, it's skateboarding, there is no fucking legitimacy, what the fuck are you even people talking about regurgitating corporate guidelines?
at some point, the refusal to see the reality of things just turns into complete delusion
you mean how turning things into something they're not is corporate lies and you're a fucking fool?
Both of you are faggots
Skate or die
>turning things into something they're not
people competing is AWFUL and should be BANNED
that's what you take out of what I say
What I'm saying is basicallyexcept only you and the person making that comment are legit doofuses, because it's not about whether I'm right, it's about the notion of legitimacy having no place in this conversation at all.
Does skateboarding need "legitimising" for you? Whoever likes it, likes it.
>you're welcome user
oh
now I got it
yes I am, although I learned about Welcome from /esg/.
Have you really been here longer than me?
>Does skateboarding need "legitimising" for you?
not in terms of outside perception, I couldn't care less about that. I was just running my own thought experiment, wondering how valid skate competitions actually are in determining who the "best skater" is when trick fail rate is pretty high and judging is largely subjective and inconsistent. if it wasn't for people like nyjah, I would probably say that contests are mostly pointless beyond just watching a few pros butt heads and see who just so happens to come out on top on that given day.
idk but i've been here since the board started. not that it's a competition
then you've been here longer than me
>an interview with one of the original members of /esg/
WEEEEEEEEEEEELL
We have a speshul,speshul,speshul,speshul,speshul, guest
OG user has joined us
Is it true that Chris Milic used to post here?
so the accurate phrasing would be "legitimising it as a sport".
But who can come close to Nyjah? If consistency is the goal of your game, then you can't really make a competitive game from it. Just because Bearings are shoving "BATB xD" at our faces, it doesn't make it interesting.
imo you can only have a competition if there is some consistency across the competitors, otherwise it's just a series of flukes, coming down to who bails the least.
You fucking bitch ass faggots cunts nigger cocksuckers shut the fuck up and go back to le66dit slap or whatever the excuse of domain that will host you fucking kill yourselves and get outta my board
not that retard but this is what skateboarding is about
skateboarding, and that's another thing that separates it from sports, is not about watching, it's at worst about witnessing, but above all it's about participating.
who are you calling a retard, retard?
if he was posting here he didn't make it obvious. i cant really remember that time very well because i was smoking weed constantly like a dropkick
thrasher bust or bail. now thats a competition. never seen ninejah win one of those
cringe
that was kind of my point, if it really was just a series of flukes then it wouldn't be possible for any one guy to be so dominant.
can't say he's a wuss
youtube.com
dont like that
look at that underground parking lot line:
first he does the frontside ollie to fakie mmanual, [spoiler]that's a good trick[/spoiler], but it's documented from a shit angle, let's go past that. He switch frontside ollies back (skill, but just on a reminding level, it was probably the first switch trick utilised in a mass scale) kickflips up the curb, and then backside ollies and switch 360 ollies. He combines the natural momentum of turning counterclockwise (and keep in mind, this is the height at which people street skated then i.e. ankle high) with a skillful maneuver (switch 360) BUT: the real magic comes from the little kickflip he throws in the middle of the line. Because you need to throw (and many videos did that back then) a simple trick in there for MEASURE. Just like how paleontologsts or geographers throw the figure of a human body or a scale size in their graphs and pictures to give a full perspective of what's what.
the line is at 1:20
youtube.com
watch another example at this classic Carrol moment at 0:56 where he follows a, by all accounts, difficult trick (switch big heel) by a simple pop shuv-it
It is when you do the same things on the perfect park obstacles

as a beginner, how much hours a day does it make sense to skate? I feel like after 3 hours I get unsteady on my board and definitly worse than in the first 1.5 hour. is that the moment I should quit for the day?
not forgetting, at the end of it all, that that's the jock era of street skateboarding
for god's sakes, it's all in the prologue to the manual, do you want me to give you the specific page too?

>tfw no one to skate with

NOONE KNOWS WHAT IT'S LIIIIIIIIIKE
You win this round helmetCHADS
So when I'm pushing my front foot usually is further up on the board, like my shoe ends right before the end of the flat part, but watching videos of other people it seems like their front foot is usually like, dead center of the board, is it a preference thing or is it easier to keep balance that way or something?
Some keep it closer to the center for tricks
Sissy bitch
I like to keep my foot just in front of the front bolts, or up to an inch away from them. Don't sweat it, you will find out what your preference is soon enough and your body will start doing what feels most comfortable on its own.

Local skate shop. Polar Hjalte Halberg pro model 8.5, Theeve CSX trucks, Jessup sky blue grip
I'm against all grip tape shenanigans for the most part but this setup slaps. rip
First time I got a custom grip too. It was really stylish and it pisses me off to no end. rip
Let's hope this one will last at least a month. (Jart XDXDXD series, 8.375)
>Hjalte Halberg pro model 8.5
I doubt Hjalte rides a 8.5
Well, I dunno, does "Pro model" mean the deck size the pro rides? I always thought it is just a custom graphic
every pro model gets at least two sizes. I get the impression that 95% of pros ride 8-8.25 anyway.
Except Kader, who's deck is wider than him
remember when Baker introduced those 3? What happened to the guy who had the finishing part? His was actually a good part.
judging by various footage where we see these guys riding their own boards, I would say that companies mostly put out one size that the pro rides and then another size to mix it up. I guess it comes down to the company, but Hjalte sure as shit rides his own boards.
shredderslodge.com
he does. I'm just as surprised.
Turns out one of the most stylish skaters out there skates the same size as I do.

What does differing wheel size effect?
Skated my 54's down to 51's and getting some new ones today. I didnt realise how lopsided the wheels wore too, i probably should have replaced them much sooner.
Can anyone explain the graphic to me?

I was just looking at the new Girl decks and realized holy fuck that team is old as fuck. Even Malto who was the most recent big shot out of all of them is almost 30. At least Chocolate got Ducksworth recently but holy fuck Girl feels completely irrelevant right now.
Can't say for sure, But I always feel safer on a ledge or flatbar with smaller wheels
it's a skateboard, not a car, relaaaaaax
The best thing about malto is that he still looks 17
never done backside before!

bigger wheels - maintain speed better, smoother, can roll over (some) pebbles
smaller wheels - tech tricks (e.g. noseslide to crook)

I like 60, I tried some 55 mini logos but they couldn't hold speed for shit and threw me off the board a couple times over petty debri on the ground. Two of the bearings ended up clogged with dirt within the week as well.
Maybe it was just a shit brand I dunno, when I get some spare money I'll try again with a different brand and harder wheels so I can learn reverts/power slides
simon should get one soon i hope
what is the best feeling trick? one that makes you go HNNNNNNG when you see do it, or even you see it in a part. for me its back 3s, fuck I want em like remy tav or yuto

didn't we have this discussion two threads ago?
this
instagram.com
austyn does em best though
anyone here skated pig wheels before? what'd you think of em?
watch Skateboard Kings (1978). It's explained how urethane is the same allover, the rest is advertisement.
So you're meaning to tell me that Spitfire F4's use the same urethane formula as Ricta's? And that it's all a marketing gimmick?
>cites a film from the fucking seventies as supporting evidence.
YIKES you are fucking dumb.
i only do tricks that feel good because why would you do otherwise?
for me it's
curb: frontside slappy
anything taller than a curb: back tail
it's a documentary
what does it matter if its' from the 70s? If anything, now that capitalism seeks to minimise costs, it could be even worse, they could even have the same fucking factory for all you know
I bet you believe ABEC matters in bearings as well.
You JUST got back into skating, didn't you?
>remy tav
based
>yuto
ehhh in a top notch best skater in the world kind of way
sw fs 360 for me on the days I got them
nope
it is actually pretty resolved how ABEC is just a marketing slapped-on sticker, Abec only matters in machinery bearings, what is important in skateboard bearings is durability
Transworld had an article about it
As far as urethane goes...well, if you deny a skateboarding documntary I don't see how else I could convince you.
They're okay, nothing too special here. They get crusty pretty quick, these were 99a's. At the time I was skating these (2013-2014) they went from 52mm to probably 50mm. No flat spots but after crusting up they lost the ability to slide easy-peezy powerslides. Wouldn't recommend to be honest, there's a reason they don't carry them in skateshops anymore, or if they do the product is likely 5+ years old.
Did you ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, the information shared in the documentary is obsolete?
aren't wheels still marketed as "special blend/mix/formula"?
how tall are the curbs in your country normally? cant slappy for shit here since they're all at least 6 inches tall and are at a pretty sketchy angle fron the gutter
>implying the urethane is the same as in the seventies/early 80's
>implying companies don't reinvest into improving the urethanes performance
>implying there is no competition in wheel manufacturing and that it's all from the same source
>implying there is no competition in wheel manufacturing and that it's all from the same source
right, and what better part to exemplify your position than deck brands?
it varies. usually 2-3 inches, but i can slappy 6-8 with a bit of effort when i run into one. are they painted? it really helps if they are. if not, wax it a ton and learn slappy crooks in the meantime to break it in. then, from slappy crook, all you have to do is powerslide into position (for backside). if the curb forms an acute angle, then you're fucked.
do you have parking blocks? learn it on one of those guys
>all wheels are the same (1978)
There's been some product research and development that's gone on since 1979. The differences it makes is debatable but I think improvements have been made.
A decade ago, at least half the skate park had loud flatspots. We just went faster, did more powerslides and they went away. I had a pair of formula 4s in my teens, they flatspoted all the time.
just skate bra
I'm not the user who's been fucking debating the guy over it. I'm just saying wheels have gotten better since 1979.
>what does it matter if its' from the 70s?
Because information can readily become obsolete and furthermore there are much better sources to cite than a documentary. Come back when you have some citations and people might take you seriously
Btw my dad works at the urethane factory (there's only one lol) and he says ur full if shit.
here's the thing, the documentary exists and you can site it, for better or worse. I provided a source.
What did you provide?
but the doc mentions it for like 5 seconds or something. it doesn't go in depth at all. you have 5 secs of really old information vs an infinite amount of anecdotal evidence. i think the latter one is better desu.
that depends
if many people say it, at most it's worth examining.
I don't disagree that the shapes and sizes have changed, but has the basic urethane formula really changed? I doubt it. And that still won't affect my skateboarding or how I see skateboarding.
You've provided a shitty source at best to back your claims that's what's wrong. You're the one who has to support your claims and as I've pointed out you haven't done a very good job of that.
You don't cite a shitty source(or no source at all) and then turn around and say "well where's your source proving me wrong?" Burden of proof is on you my man.
Do an experiment for us:
Go to your local skatepark and spout the same retardation you're spouting to us. I guarantee everybody will laugh at you and think you're dumb as shit. You can continue to say "but muh doco" "all wells sem" but people are still going to dismiss you as a retard who doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. But hey, you're just here to argue because you're bored and have nothing productive to do.
but I provided a source. Why is it shitty anyway?
You just call it names. But you haven't provided any real proof that formulas/mixes/blends differ.
You even judged me without knowing me, that I JUST came back to skating.
Well, you're just a tryhard ekin jock that's been scourging the parks and spots who take themselves way too seriously. And you should get checked.
top kek, why do you get ro riled up over wheels?
chill with the energy drinks ekin drone, they're not good for you.
It's okay to admit defeat. We see through your faggotry.
yes, keep cursing, that surely strengthens your position and makes you look logical and composed to everyone
>Why is it shitty anyway
For one and in addition it's hard to verify the information in a documentary compared to an academic study.
>But you haven't provided any real proof that formulas/mixes/blends differ.
You're the one who made the claim and as I've pointed out the source isn't particularly good. In addition you not only have just 1 (one) source but I can't get into it's details like I would if you cited an academic study comparing different urethane formulas. You do know that when you make a claim burden of proof lies on you correct?
>You even judged me without knowing me, that I JUST came back to skating.
user isn't one person and I'm not that guy FYI.
>Well, you're just a tryhard ekin jock that's been scourging the parks and spots who take themselves way too seriously. And you should get checked.
Now who's judging who lol. All because you don't understand how to back up a claim and get assblasted when people called you out (rightfully) on a single dubious source.
Come back with some better sources for your bullshit or at least admit you really have nothing to base this on.
>as I've pointed out the source isn't particularly good
ok, WHY?
>it's hard to verify the information in a documentary compared to an academic study.
allright, where is the academic study?
>In addition you not only have just 1 (one) source
I also mentioned the ABEC ratings based on a Transworld article and the fact that decks are made in like 5 factories all over the world.
I can't believe you're taking my argumentation so seriously, while having yet to provide a single source to prove that there are differences in urethane wheels!
I don't even care about it!
>tfw you just wanted to know more about pig wheels
>tfw you started an internet riot instead
kek, YOU BASTARD
Hey, I gave you your answer! All was not lost.
this is gonna go on for much longer
what a shitty way to cap a thread about the funnest thing ever
blame the user who surely got triggered because I used the word "capitalism" and he's been stuck on a loop wanting to discredit me like it's my fucking diatribe
and I still think he's an ekin drone who takes shit way too seriously, lel.
Fuck your rails jocks.
>ok, WHY?
Again see and the first part of .
Can you read? because you didn't address anything in your post. You have a short clip in a documentary that's over 20 years old and you're acting as if it's verifiable proof that you're right and in addition you've failed to provide any other sources to back up your claim. Which btw if it's as right as you think it is should be easy to do.
>allright, where is the academic study?
That's what I'm asking you retard. I'm not the one who has to back up the claim that all urethane is the same you are and quite frankly you've done a piss poor job. Are you dense? Is it so hard to provide an additional source to back up your claim? Should be easy if you're correct right?
>I also mentioned the ABEC ratings based on a Transworld article and the fact that decks are made in like 5 factories all over the world.
I specifically called you out about the urethane claim and now you're trying to deflect.
>I can't believe you're taking my argumentation so seriously, while having yet to provide a single source to prove that there are differences in urethane wheels!
I'll say it again since you seem to be fucking retarded. When you make a claim burden of proof to prove that claim is on you. As it stands right now you've provided one incredibly dubious and outdated source to back up your claim and refuse to give anything else to assert your claim. I'm also not the one making a claim here you are, I haven't said that there's a difference either way in urethane formulas I just pointed how shitty your source is and told you to come back with a better one. The fact that you get this assblasted over being asked to assert your claim is fucking hilarious though
>I don't even care about it
Cope
all the time you wasted defending a short clip from a documentary that's not verifiable could have been spent getting one good source to back up your claim and btfo everyone replying to you but you chose to be retarded instead
>blame the user who surely got triggered because I used the word "capitalism"
Cope retard
You didn't trigger anybody by pointing out an obvious observation about capitalism you triggered people by providing a shitty source and refusing to back up your claim and instead chose the
>N-n-no you route
Of debate which just makes you look even more dumb.
It's not your fault some people are retarded user
>I specifically called you out about the urethane claim and now you're trying to deflect.
It's proof that skateboarding ads are not based on "serious scientific measurements", it's that simple.
I'm not coping, you're not that important to me, neither is this argument, while I can see it evokes some strong emotions in you, you're not even trying to insult me, you just straight curse.
>all the time you wasted defending a short clip from a documentary that's not verifiable could have been spent getting one good source to back up your claim and btfo everyone replying to you but you chose to be retarded instead
same to you, you could have provided a source to back up your claim, but you want me to do it.
Ok, I'll do it
>Do skateboard wheel brands matter?
>Unlike skateboard decks, wheels and brands make a huge difference. There is a lot of technology behind it and the bigger brands all have their own formula when it comes to producing skateboard wheels. Skateboard wheels require a lot of research to come up with the perfect combination of polyurethane and go through heavy testing before they enter the shelves. A Bones wheel is far superior to a Mini logo wheel which shows in price and durability.

I was never making a claim you idiot I just wanted you to back up your claim with something better than a short clip from a 20+ year old documentary because it seemed dubious. I've said that several times but you just ignored it each time.
no I didn't
I commend you for admitting that you are wrong.

...has /esg/ subtly been acknowledged?
sure looks like it. i think there could be alot more crossover than people.
>acknowledged
We were here first, why would we need to be acknowledged? Deep down rasslefags know that they bend to skatechads will, perform for our cock, etc
Does anyone konw how to remove exif data from iphone photos? I wanna submit a picture of a complete I just got.

If you're this much of a pussy then you probably have the gayest, most poorly coordinated deck ever.
Literally just upload it to Yea Forums, auto exif stripping these days.
That's why phone posters have their photos rotate on them all the time
what's a slonk? also, keep in mind that the conversation died down when I provided a source that justified the other guy's opinion, when it's a blog. He could always have credible sources for deck companies, but not so much for wheel companies, or he could be right.
his opinion is valid, switch serves nothing but vanity, unless it's done properly. I want to have switch game, but only like certain tricks.
stupidest thing I’ve heard about switch ever
>its just cool bc its like skating with your left hand
tell me anons, does your left and right hand work the exact same? fuck no! same with your legs. more likely than not one has more power and one has more control, by inverting them you explore different possibilities to the skateboarding unique to your body. you could have your power foot normally popping while your control foot flicks but the dynamic changes interestingly when you skate switch. its gonna look and feel different. if you’re just counting the number of times a board is spinning or flipping then you’re the one who’s about vanity
switch also isnt always harder. by the time you start learning it you’ll probably have developed a dominant spin direction with your regular tricks (fs or bs) and having learned how to spin a certain way regular transfers on to the opposite direction in switch. so if you’re a backside guy learning switch, sw fs would be easier for you and the other way around for a frontside guy
Nice digits. NERD!
only a nerd would know what you're talking about, NERD
>so if you’re a backside guy learning switch, sw fs would be easier for you and the other way around for a frontside guy
I don't know or can imagine how that would be true
you're popping with the other foot
you’re spinning your shoulders in the same direction, so your shoulders already know how to do it but your feet dont. sorry should have specified that.
think about a fakie bs bigspin, the direction the board and your body spins, now think of a direction of a switch fs bigspin. its the same number of turns for your board and your body, only difference is the foot that pops it. imagine learning tricks where you dont have to learn the timing of your shoulders, just your feet. makes it easier

The perfect blend of street and transition
those ditches that omar skates is the perfect blend of transition and street
Jarts might just as well be my favourite man.
What is barriers?
You literally spent the entire the going
>B-but where's your source backing YOUR claim
When I wasn't making one, but ok retard. Asking you for citations on your claim != Making a claim.

Good thing I'm gay
Most of us are, /esg/ loves Unity Skates.

The perfect blend of posting and being gay
now I understand why so many skaters get a new deck every month. I thought this was a cheap hobby
Just stock up mang. Get on AliExpress and buy a years worth in a batch
ya ding dong diddly flippy shits
...
Have you had any experience with these decks? I've been consider AliExpress decks for years but have no adequate reports of the wood being high quality at all. I'm reluctant but I can be convinced if anybody here has actually purchased this bundle.
might actually be a good idea. are they any different from the blank decks on this site? blankdecks.com
Tbh, I dunno yet. Ordered a single blank from there for roughly 18 burgerbucks, waiting for it to arrive. Will give it a custom paint job and give it a shred.
Could you report back your findings, please? I'm interested.
Of course I will. Only just getting back into skateboarding after a decade long hiatus though, so my findings may not be great.
Will be obvious if it snaps in the first few days though!
sick
Going to start skateboarding again, but man, it feels like everything is so much more expensive than when I used to regularly skate. How do I choose wheels, do they even have any noticeable difference?
>How do I choose wheels, do they even have any noticeable difference?
meant the wheel sizes, how do you pick a size that suits you?
is jart ok to buy or is it chink shit?
Jart is quite good.
Depends on what terrain you'll be skating on.
I skate at parks with 51mm on forged indys
new setup costs 200 euros what the fuck i am poor i cant afford that
what about enuff boards? are they decent, they are pretty cheap
how do i find pals to skate with?
>How do I choose wheels, do they even have any noticeable difference?
Depends on your needs and what you're skating and yes they are different. Some things too look for when choosing wheels
>Durometer
Soft for cruising, Harder for anything else
>Size
Big for cruising, typically street skating is done with smaller wheels while transition skaters skate bigger wheels
>Shape
Bigger contact patch for cruising typically smaller for anything else, edge shape is up to you but unless you're cruising most people like some sort of rounded edge but it's up to you.
Answer; Get off of Yea Forums and go skate.
