Whats up with those Bones sidecuts wheels? Should i get those if im normally skateing streets? I think the last pair of wheels i got were wides, not like cruiser-wheel wide but i dont remember them being as narrow as these "sidecuts" that im seeing.

Dont sweat it man, I’ve got this old pair of Adidas running shoes that are definitely not made for skating but I still use em from time to time cause they do the job fine

Anyone who skates hard and takes it seriously

no, that's a skateboarder

a skate jock is a guy who sees it as competition and basically evaluates everything. To him there is a hierarchy to everything: who has the biggest say at the spot/park, who has better tricks, what tricks are better than others and what you should learn first, second and third. But it's not just his opinion, somehow he has come to the delusion/conclusion that everyone should see skateboarding as he does.

Really? If im sweating or run out of breath does that mean i was skateboarding too hard? Will i get better if i start taking more breaks?

Dope!

If you're sweating or out of breath go choose a more traditional sport because you're obviously not creative enough for skating

What if i told you that the reason im so sweaty is because i have skateing barriers all day, and that its the perfect blend between transition and street skateing, my man?

You're only sweaty because of the gay sex barrier skater

you’re a fucking retard and an autist, you’re that faggot sitting down at the park all day not skating shit and then making excuses for why you’re fucking trash. Skate more theorycraft less poser.

If the threads gonna get bumped with shitposts were gonna do with it our own shitposts. /esg/ is a diy general

seriously, why isn't there a Mano-a-Mano contest this year by Woodward? I searched youtube and they also have disabled the comments for the previous episodes.

Mano-a-mano is a symbol of the patriarchy and deemed "problematic"

where was the post you deleted?

and good for you, many people sleep on the caveman but if there is such a thing as a fundamental trick, it's that.

Just decided to word it a bit differently.
And yeah I'm glad I finally did it, the prospect of it has had me anxious for weeks. I have a nice curb with a gradual slope to do it off of different heights and I already started with it too so that made it extra rewarding.

Did some old school kickflips for the first time recently. Fun as fuck.
Anyone ever see/have an example of a Primo-walk in video?

do any brands do really good wizard graphics. standing on a cliff casting a spell or even maybe taming a dragon or something. just want a board with a wizard on it

>Anyone ever see/have an example of a Primo-walk in video?

plenty of such examples, just go to any old freestyle footage, everybody used to do that to set up for rail tricks.

I swear those are little-kid-ego-stroking questions

>seems like Mullen hardly ever does em.

come on now

Rodney even had tricks on rails.

im not saying he doesn't do primos
but specifically primowalks (like in the video i posted at 45 seconds.)
when he does them though its like one left right rep as a set up, not a walk out of frame as if it is the focus of the trick. its literally the ender of Primo and Diane's part here.

venture trucks:

do you ride them? how do they turn compared to indies?

>pic related

Attached: 69DEEA47-FFB6-4A10-9948-466A84CCFD34.jpg (640x1136, 248K)

venture is my personal fav

I always found indies wayyy too heavy. Regular venture's are about half the weight of indies. Also Venture makes ultra-light and feather-lights. Those are more than strong enough as long as you're not bombing down 20 sets. I had my venture feather-lights for like ten years before the whole deck got stolen. They hadn't begun to rust or crack or anything. I would have grinded them into dust before they ever failed me.

Use 4 bolts tard

so uhh what happened to hook-ups?

>shitty boards for weeb faggots
>owner was a pillhead that couldn't into finances
what's the confusion?

was just curious. saw them posted here alot a few years ago and when i looked them up earlier it looked like they went out of business. I liked some of the graphics - but i skate barriers so it's to be expected

Agreed

turning wise, do they give a quick sharp turn like thunders or a more gradual one like indies?
not my board fuckhead, If I owned ventures you’d think I’d ask how they turn?

>Love the “trendy” style of skating and look
>Every skater hates these types of dudes
feelbadman

define trendy, preferably with examples
if you mean the retards that use pink camos and edit their shit to trap, yes, fuck those guys

@yungspliff on insta trendy. like i feel that guys style and the way he dresses.

I mean the turning usually boils down to the bushings. They make extra soft, soft, medium, hard, extra hard ,etc. The stock bushings that came with my feather-lites were pretty middle of the road (in a good way). They didn't veer out of control, but, didn't feel like they weren't responsive.

Worked

that guy on particular I really like. He’s got a nice trick selection and I dig his style.

I fucking hate when they overuse slow mo (or use at all, that shit is never necessary) and/or wear stupid shit. I mean look at this faggot. He’s wearing a fucking surgical mask. Check his other stuff, it’s painfully bad.

Skate barriers eat ass

Attached: images.jpg (275x183, 5K)

yeah this guy is an advanced poser. he’s not doing anything super technical that any other intermediate skater couldn’t do, along with this he also dunks everything in unnecessary slow-mo. It’s not too bad when people use it once or twice a edit on something super dope but he uses it on everything. I have another minor gripe and thats in his outfits, they aren’t very “stylish” for how hard he seems to try. gross.

sidenote, everybody was raving about Sour being the biggest european brand, but it was the last european brand I ever found out about; Antiz, Magenta, Jart, fucking Polar... And I think the biggest one was Cliché.

You live in Texas partner, the constant heat and the thunderstorms that soon follow are the worst when you don't have any shaded spots near you

Nah son. Fat to flat from a running start. Over the sidewalk into the street. Two loading docks high. Shit was so cash.

This is now a caveman thread.

>he's not sidestepping to walls or fastplanting ledges/curbs

get on my level

after looking for some caveman clips on youtube and stumbling on to this, I have surmised that every single one of these "old-school" tricks is superior to pretty much anything that people are doing now.
