The wait for Verso is killing me

I'm usually a wrestlechad on here but I learned helipops today and have no one else to tell about it

I got my 8 inch deck + ~27 mm worn down wheels setup back out to learn spinny shit

27mm wheels?

Might as well just wrap a rubber band around some bearings

How does a skateboard fair for commuting? Would 10 miles a day 6 days a week wear it down too much?

Is it a pretty flat trip? At that distance a bike might be more appropriate, especially if there are any extended uphill sections.

It is pretty flat, I used to ride my bike but I stopped for a year and my cheap bike went to shit. I was thinking of picking up a skateboard because I wanted to start skating for a while and figured I could try to use it for transport as well.

Get a bike for that in all honesty

Get rollerblades

that sounds like a lot, stick to a bike I think

I used to post on here all the time, but I took a 2 year break from skating and filming or so. I just released a new quick vx1000 edit. Hopefully I'll make a much better longer one soon with more skaters.

>Skatepark etiquette:- don't mention Bam

Fucking kek.

Old thread/OP is right here

3 miles is my limit on my skateboard for a commute. However 5 isn’t too bad but I would never do 10.

What shoes do you guys recommend I’m sick of vans and Nike shoes. Vans get holes in them super fast and Nike shoes get the soles worn down super fast. My blazers never last me longer than 4 months and my skate HIs last me a little longer than that. I’m learning toward a high top adidas any recommendations?

your heels would die

Probs wasn't a good move. Don't know any real teams would take him after being on the youtube skate team.

Braille would've paid the bills for a long time. Depends on how is new video part comes out I suppose

Are skate teams really that elitist they'd turn him down just because he was on a popular yt channel?

>Depends on how his new video part comes out I suppose

No, it doesn't. He got his start on a "lame" YouTube channel. No Thrasher approved company will take the risk of bringing him on their team. Core skaters don't find Braille to be "legit" so he's fucked. He will never be a Thrasher approved "Pro" skater.

That's a shame

Yo. I'm 27 and thinking about getting a landyachtz dinghy cruiser. I mostly wanna be able to ride around and ollie up and down curbs. There's mostly rough asphalt around where I live.

broke my wrist last summer. not even on something cool.

I'm 28 now, guys. I don't heal as fast as I used to. I don't even attempt gnarly shit anymore. I go to the park, get in a sweet ollie off something, get in a kickflip, heelflip, and a no comply and I'm DONE. Gotta quit while you're ahead.

Shoutout to the user who helped me pick my wheels about a month ago (Ricta clouds). I just started skating and I'm loving it.

Blew out my tailbone doing this: It's blackened and bruised now, looks like I took a shit and just wiped it up my back. I've gone back to just pushing because it hurts so bad and I can't take another spill for a while. It sucks I can't get much progress in, but I'm happy to take time getting comfortable pushing around. I might try and scope out some smoother slopes to go down in the meantime.

got a big knee scrape that hasn't healed in over a week and it's pissing me off
hit little piece of wood on the sidewalk and got sent flying

as a 27yo newbie who's never broken anything this shit scares me so much
is dropping in that big of a danger if you suck? I stick to my own little parking lot and haven't been to a park yet

>is dropping in that big of a danger if you suck?
I'd try to find a mini pipe. Once you get the muscle memory for a drop in, you can pretty much do it off of any size pipe. Me personally, I don't drop in off anything over 5' these days. I used to drop in off this fuckin 12 or 13' quarter pipe at my old skatepark like it was nothing. I'm too brittle for that shit now lol

yo new skater here
can anybody explain me why skate shoes are so important? today i wanted to buy some but didnt find anything good+i didnt really want any obnoxious shoes like vans or nike janoskis
i have some old new balance sneakers and now when i cruise around the street they work pretty find(pivoting front foot is kinda hard but i doubt its my shoes's fault) but im kinda scared what will happen when ill start learning tricks
what do yall think?

>work pretty find
i meant to say pretty fine of course

Are there fat skaters lads

See But really, there are a few

>didnt really want any obnoxious shoes like vans or nike janoskis

The cupsole masterrace is calling you. Any flat soled shoe will do but a GOOD skate shoe has a suede upper, cupsole and a half decent insole for impact.

shit like this always makes me cringe. I don't like seeing people getting hurt. Don't put your inexperienced friends on a board on top of a roll in or quarter pipe. That's a dick move and a surefire way for someone getting seriously hurt. If they wanna skate, just let them roll around slowly on the flat for a week or two. Force them to learn to kickturn and pivot and bail properly. This shit ain't funny. I hate seeing that shit.

What is the point of switch tricks? I don't think they should be even a category. Maybe I'm retarded but isn't switch just literally going goofy instead of regular or vice versa? It's the exact same trick, it's not like fakie or nollie. Also, it's not really well defined because I just can say I'm regular while I actually skate goofy and boom every trick I do is suddenly mind blowing because I did it with my weaker side...? In no other sport do you get points for doing something with your weaker side, you either don't do it or you do it and get scored as if you did it the normal way. I don't care, take figure skating or high diving. Nobody is saying "look at this, I did it in the less comfortable way, give me more points". No, you did the same fucking trick as the other guy. This is where it doesn't make sense, 2 people could do the same exact trick with their left and right feet at the same positions in the same stance but one is switch and the other one is not? What the fuck

RadRatt has done this topic a couple times. I think switch is more about respecting the process. Obviously its like relearning every trick over again the opposite way. Its respectable in some sense.

But when youre looking at ig clips of dudes youve never seen skate before and dont know their stance, the only way you can tell something is switch is if it looks sorta sketchy. That i see a problem with and think its lame. Btw bmx has “switch” and “opposite” tricks too, so skating isnt the only sport. Its action sports in general.

Anons, I practised all day today and I finally feel comfortable on a board again. Feels gud man. [spoiler]Especially because I just got an anxiety diagnosis and it's hard to ride when people are around.[/spoiler]

>10 miles a day
I commute daily with a skateboard, but it's only 3km round trip, so it isn't worth the hassle of taking and locking up my bike.

never forget this shit is all in your head.

>the only way you can tell something is switch is if it looks sorta sketchy.

You just need to watch more switch until you fucking get it. Its the upper body, the way the skater holds their shoulders and head. Its usually a stiffer or more mobbed style. I think switch looks great with the right trick.

Went to a green space/park near my house. There's residential areas strewn about so there's also concrete streets, and broad roads that don't see much traffic. I skated on those first when there was no one around. I slowed down when people would come out, but since I know about my apprehension, I made it a point to not stop completely. After a while I practised to go faster, which put me in such a nice state of mind, that again I cruised by the people emerging, this time without slowing down. That gave me enough confidence to purposefully ride on the streets where the chances were higher that people would show up. I'll definitely go back tomorrow, maybe even tonight, to further overcome my fears.

Also, I'm not at my usual home but visiting my hometown. The change of scenery is helping probably. I feel more relaxed here than where my stressful every day life is going on.

>Its usually a stiffer or more mobbed style

I guess thats exactly what i meant by “sketchy”.

hey fellas, need a little guidance on my ollies
I can pop and land some (10% maybe) but I'm working on the front foot movement to get more tail height

my board keeps turning a little fs and I usually fall forward, catching myself w my front foot
is that because of back foot placement or my shoulders being too open? I think I hunch over too much and should be bending my knees more and staying more upright
am I supposed to close my shoulders entirely when I ollie?

esg for best general btw

It could be any number of things. Maybe you're jumping to much and not taking the board with you and its floating away fs. You might also be opening your shoulders to much, pretty common newbie mistake. As for rear foot position, the ball of your foot should be dead center on the tip of the tail.

> I think I hunch over too much and should be bending my knees more and staying more upright

If you think its to much it probably is. Try filming yourself so you can see the flaws.

...

you're turning your shoulders.
also, the front foot motion is overrated for new people, it's much more important to learn to pop properly with the back foot, i.e. slam it against the ground and move it the fuck up and out of the way of the board.

because its about context, if someone does a backside or frontside ollie into a manual or grind, that manual or grind is going to end up being switch because their body turns around. thats obviously a much different trick than just doing a regular ollie into it. for some reason i often hear people making this argument about how "switch is pointless", but i never hear people say that nollie is pointless because its the same as fakie. its the same amount of difference.

what shud I wear? I want heavy duty clothes to tank falls to boost my confidence. something not whack.

Oh man user, that reminded me that it won't be as comfy to ride in winter.

Cool

Many years back I won a no-name skateboard at a funfair. Its maneuverability is fine, the only issue is that the wheels don't spin for long. Do you guys think if I just get some new wheels it'd be ready for the street?

/n/ cyclist here. If it was me I would definitely use a bike. You could even ride a fixie if you want, since you say it's flat (personally I live in a hilly area - I recently converted my single speed conversion back to a geared bike for this reason).

If you wanted to board, though, then longboarding would surely be your best bet. But even then, 10 miles, 6 days a week is a loooooong way to longboard.

Up to you obviously, do some research, but trust me: bikes are awesome. You can go damn fast. And if you want something you can learn tricks on, get a fixie. Just learn how to ride it up and down your street before doing a proper ride with it. I crashed into a parked car the first time I tried to ride a fixie. My brain was just so used to being able to coast, but you obviously can't on a fixie.

not looking for a magic answer, just anything you found useful or when it 'clicked' for yall

all your weight on one foot, maybe try balancing on one foot while on your board? that's one way I strengthened my switch foot. it could be a weight or a strength problem but it's hard to say without seeing you. try asking someone irl who skates?

Attached: maxresdefault.jpg (1280x720, 61K)

Since youre starting out (and if youre not planing to ever quit) learn to ride in both regular and goofy so that you develop both feet almost equally.
After many years I decided to work on my switch stance and it's kinda demotivating seeing how bad I am, because I believe a good skater should feel comfortable whichever way hes facing

it's pure guilt by association because every single time someone like H&M is doing a cringey photoshoot, the model is mall grabbing.

but at the same time, it's kind of awkward to get on the board from that, you'd have to re-grab some other way before you throw down. plus, there's no real point in getting too comfy holding the board because you're supposed to ride it, not carry it around.

Does this mean we can go there now?

1month old here, started from nothing and now I can do rolling ollies alright (not over anything yet tho)

get comfy standing only on your lead foot
idk if there's a way around that except getting on your board as regularly as possible, especially cuz it's not just skill but underdeveloped muscles
the first few days my foot was BURNING within minutes of pushing around

I feel like if you don't get on your board even for 5m within like 24hrs you lose a lot of muscle memory progress early on
I'd stand on the board for a few min a day just to get over the fear and feel the burn of balancing

then as your balancing muscles get stronger, start bending your lead leg so your weight barely leaves it as your pushing leg does its motion

also try putting your lead foot at a slight angle on the board when you push instead of straight forward? I notice pros do it and I think it gives you better turning leverage when pushing harder
my early pushes would turn and unbalance me a lot cuz my lead foot wasn't strong enough to right the board direction after a push, so the angled placement helped w that

To me it says "I'm such a pussy I literally can't touch sandpaper"

>Does this mean we can go there now?

this as well. you don't realize it but when you put the foot at the slightest of angles (toe inward), it compacts your entire leg, making it easy, almost automatic, to keep it solid and safely in place.

Landyachtz are great for cruising, but if you want to Ollie and such, try something with a tail or a cruiser board.

I just want to see Rayssa btfo all them thots.

Literally who?

iv learned to like sls because of just how consistant some of the guys can be, the judging is terrible though.

What who?

Sports with judging all fall prey to that.

We are an Olympic sport now :^)

Am I the only one here taht always enjoed summer Olympics? I am actually really excited and can't wait

>5050 on a curb is one of the best things in skating
Well at least for you muricans. No curbs grind here it's just a getting-stuck-flying-face-first experience.

Strech before skating grandpa

And that's why you wax, doofus

Wax doesn't work really

Youre not using enough then. Rough surfaces may need a lot, but any curbstone can be made grindable with enough

Well, all I got is candles and that didn't work

I was here.

Will there ever be another Bust or Bail?

>biggest fucking spin
Hell Yeah

leaf here, our curbs are extremely shitty. just wax it to high hell and then wax it some more. use as many candles as it takes and then once it slides try skate wax or crayons. you're just trying to smooth it out. honestly once you get a good ledge technique you wont need much wax if any because you sort of use your wheels to roll along, instead of standing on your axels. assuming you're in some europoor country and you dont have painted curbs but some parking lots have them or you could paint one yourself, even better than wax. trust me user, it is one of the best things maybe in life period.

I kinda wish I lived in the suburbs just so I can plop down a curb smack dab in the middle of the road.

You need more candles. And maybe a blowtorch to melt the rubbed candles so they are smooth as sin

in the very first clip you can see why you don't really need a lot of wax. it does make it easier to learn though.

I've been practicing the neen williams heelflips and I can get the rotation down easily but the board goes waaay infront of me. and by infront I don't mean infront of where I'm riding at but infront of my feet
what do help

Good

that's because it's already broken in, dummy

I was here before the wrestling faggotry, i bid goodbye for the asp that we all used to know

Man, I remember when I used to skate when I was 9-12 and then right after I became a fat homeschooled quasi-NEET neckbeard that's almost 30 and still are the same.

Things were so fun back then...

Favorite use of music in a part.

Not just your favourite part or track but the perfect use of a song to compliment a skaters style.

excellent choices

I'm getting back into skating after a decade of not touching it. I used to be really fat and only ever bombed hills and did shitty reverts. I've hit the gym and lost a lot of weight since them, and am looking forward to actually being able to land some tricks.
I really like the look of Creature skateboards. I know they're made by Dwindle, but has anyone here actually had any shitty experiences with them? Those Maniac decks are just too sick.

Go for it. Youre probably not good enough to notice any problems, if there are any.

Land on your bolts smooth brain

Literally who

Sexy

pop it high, flick it hard, land bolts, ride away smooth

why do they make boards so pretty you wouldn't want to cover them with griptape or fuck them up skating. this is Nora's.

my dad told me if you love something youd beat the shit outta it

This

You need a flight deck

Based

Very nice looking

None available, VXs are not for sale yet

I'm bored and playing Skater XL. Andy trick requests? I mean you won't see them but I'll have a bit more fun.
Nothing impossible in the game please

do a street plant

I have no idea what's possible as I don't have the game... So do a 180 no comply into a nose manual

Feet leaving the board in such a way are not implemented (yet), neither are any tranny tricks or grabs. It's mainly body rotation, flips, grinds, slides (no darkslides or special ones) and manuals. Think street skating, tech skating, handrails and ledges, stairs and gaps. Sex changes, ghetto birds and such are possible, pivots are not
All stances.

Backside 180, fakie manual, half cab out.

This actually took me a bunch of tries. A shoddy manny pad but a good one. Thank you dude

Makes the board more unique, it could also help with gripping also if the boards too long or too wide and you want extra wiggle room when gripping it

Lose some weight, I'll genuinely help not breaking your board

It's not the wheels that dont spin its the bearings, either clean or get new skate bearings

Try tightening your skate trucks, I'll make it more stable at the cost of maneuverability

Daewon is on the shorter end too and many female skaters too

Fs 180 late fs shuv

Tre flip nose Manny nollie Tre out

Steve Caballero is 5'3''

28 isn't old. Keep going you'll get stronger

Not sure if you're a troll or not but you need to go outside and do something. Skate, jog, bike, walk fucking anything. Get a new hobby, find a new job with a handful of coworkers you can stand. DO SOMETHING. Its self fulfilling. Wittle a fucking stick if you can't find a new hobby.

this big time

IT'S TOO FUCKING HOT OUTSIDE HERE IN TEXAS TO SKATE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

At what point did you start doing grinds? I can ollie & 180

honestly, there's no reason to start trying 50-50s after you can ollie if you have a good curb/box

*no reason not to

That sucks.

Link's expired, got another one?

Or, you could contribute to the thread by having your discussion here instead of on a fucking discord.

hey this really helped a lot, thanks

>Let's split the discussion even more by shilling my gay discord
Fuck off discord tranny that shit ruins generals

have a bump

Thanks homie

having discord installed on your PC should be punishable by death

Skating on acid is the best experience of my life and I don't usually like to skate under the influence

i skated nothing but flat, drops and gaps for the first 4/5 years. now i exclusively just go fast, do manuals and slappies. if i'm at a park, i'll do some grinds and skate transition

>t. fred gall

>28 isn't old. Keep going you'll get stronger

Kek thanks. I actually lift weights regularly and have for years. It's the tendon that runs down that leg. I think I just pulled it.
Gonna drag my friend to a skate park soon. He snowboards but cannot ollie. We're going to eat shit and i can't wait. I've always wanted to learn how to ride a mini ramp.

You shouldn't have told him

Not a troll, I was being sincere. I learned to ollie when I was 10 and I was tearing up the skatepark when I was 12 but then I moved and became fatso.

>feels bad man

For you

Kind of a bummer but I can see the business move that he made. His brand sells reissue shapes, mostly his old hammerhead pro model.

>Old school decks are trending with normal fags
>normal fags don't know any OG brands or skaters
>penny is popular
>slap Hosoi name on a penny board for exposure
>maybe get more sales
>???
>profit

Still cringy to team up with Penny though.

Santa Cruz was the only company that made the Hammerhead functional. If you’re into some old-school shit, minus the ego, you should check out Scram Skates

...

I don't know why you guys like to hate on youtuber skater that actually are insanely talented.

I didn't hate. I just said, leaving the YouTube brand wasn't a good idea for carlos if he wishes to continue his career as a skater because no one will take him. His chance of going pro sailed ten years ago. Only option is to build his own brand.

New bread!!!

Thank you user.
