What board would you want tony to give you, if you happened to be the lucky guy to trade him THPS1?

SO HERE I AM

Pretty sure buddy had no choice what board the birdman gave him.
But honestly if I had a choice I probably wouldn't pick a hawk model and would probably ask for pic related.

Any one here ever skated below 90a wheels?

I am about to get back into skating. The streets where I live can be really coarse though. I'm looking at Ricta clouds 86a

Only when playing on my mates long board, they were like 80a I think. And huge. Ain't no stones stopping ya!

Dunno what it would be like on a normal street deck, but I've wanted to pick up some slimeballs for cruising about

I've got some ricta clouds 78a, 56mm of couse, only because the roads and footpaths around where I live are complete shit.

Never give up!

Have you guys tried bearings worth more than $20? Is it worth it

would putting a piece of ductape on the side of shoe make it easier to ollie

no.

>Konnichi wa... what can I get you?

the bearings on my cruiser are bones super swiss 6 that i got on sale for ~$34, normally $60
my regular setup has hard luck 6 ball bearings that were also on sale for ~15. they're usually $20
they appear to be holding up better than the swiss, considering it gets more use

Do you have any Hook-Ups by Jeremy Klein?

What fucking show is this again? God the name escapes me...

Yes, i have tried $20+ bearings. 2 sets of Bronson G3's in this case.

>were they faster?
No, not really.

>did they glide/roll further?
Yes, slightly. After they broke in.

>did they last?
Not any longer than my cheap set, no. Maybe less.

You usually get further roll with better bearings and thats it. Its nice while it lasts but it never lasts long and then they're just like regular bearings. So why pay extra when you can keep your roll smooth through replacing cheap sets more often for the same price as buying one set of more expensive bearings.

people might shit on you for having two separate sets of wheels for different purposes but fuck those people, my streets are super shitty and I know the struggle. I have a very similar setup.

78a fucking fun for cruising around. I wanna try 80hds some day, also interested in 90-99 wheels how they do but for now sticking to formula fours on my popsicle

I have 80hds and I want to make sweet sweaty love to them

Rolling further is what I mostly want but maybe it has more to do with having bigger and softer wheels

the surface of the ground/wheel hardness combination has an infinitely higher impact on how long you will roll. bearings aren't even worth mentioning in that equation.

Don't, Birdo is a Zionist bitch

Fuck, eh. Blast from the past.

>more to do with having bigger and softer wheels

Bingo. 56mm 90somthinA softies would give you way more roll vs smaller hardwheels with expensive bearings. Plus nicer wheels will last longer than expensive bearing.

My local shop (WindWheelsWaves) closed down last summer, Vans and Zumies is all I got.

I can ollie on an over stuff but grinds sketch me out to much it learn, but theyre what I got into the sport for :\

You have to start on curb height ledges, lad. Jumping into actual sized ledges is a bit of a mental barrier.

for a second I thought this was t h i c c daewon doing transition.

>10/10 charisma

I just started skating and this happened to me like on the fourth day. Haven't been able to skate for weeks.

Good job user.

Those wheels are great for cruising and skating unless your roads are absolutely fucked. Doing slides and grinds without wax can be hard imo but possible.

t. Skates Michigan roads

Tried some Bronson's and the shields bent inwards making it so I couldn't skate with them I'm so I popped them and gave em to a bud since I don't like skating shieldless. He likes them

Go faster

*Couldn't skate with them in

Cool

Short candle sticks. Sometimes sold as "emergency" candles. Shabbat (Jewish) candles might even be cheaper in bulk or easier to find in a store, depending on where you are buying. plus I think they're blessed or somthing so they might give you a +2 to ceremonial slappy grinds, unless you're a /pol/tard.

Scented candles are better. Then you can pretend you're gentrifying the neighbourhood

girls are the biggest posers out there.
instead of skating to learn and work towards mastering their skills, to feel the excitement and satisfaction of landing a difficult trick and just the pure thrill of skating, they do it mainly for attention.

Thanks. In good news though, I haven't lost my ollies at all.

How the fuck do you Nosestall Revert?! I was trying for quite a while yesterday and couldn't even commit to a decent attempt, I kept pussying out or my board shoots from under me upon reentry. The rotation doesn't even make sense to me, but whenever I see someone do a proper one it looks easy as fuck.
I don't scrape on my Nosegrinds anymore, so that's cool.

Hell yeah brother, love the wheels

Why have graphics if they're just going to get shredded?

fresh grip is the worst
depends on which part is giving you trouble. maybe start by just getting really comfortable going up the wall to fakie revert. if you have a steep bank you can practice on that'd probably be good too.

I've never tried Tailstall Reverts but yeah I guess I should start there since it is comfier. My main problem is I can't get the revert. I can BS/FS Rock and Roll and Tail/Nosestall with ease but for whatever reason I am a hapless oaf when it comes to reverting.

Basado

those should slide pretty good. it sounds like you just need to get more confident going sideways on a slope. you could try to just practice doing powerslides across the transition so you get used to the feeling of going into that booger slide kinda position and then pushing through it.

Nosestall
Face switch, look down the transition and behind you
Slip off the coping while pivoting

I've found that where I focus on looking will impact my pivot/revert. Think of it more like a pivot than revert. Find the smallest QPipe and keep trying. Once you get it nose reverts become second nature.

Thanks for the pointers fellas i'll keep trying once I get back on the board.

SAVED from early death

And again

Just took a tab boutta go learn blunt to tre in on my mini ramp Bros

I'm just getting "back" into skating (I never got out of the beginner stage)

I have been skating short sessions for a few days now. It has been fun, but I'm really bad.
My ollies are meh, but it's ok
I have a lot of spots where I might do some (easy) tricks spotted though

Tomorrow I'll rest my foot due to rain

Thanks for reading my blog!
