General skate thread

Don't skate now but I still have my board.
Made it myself - back in the mid-'70's, when Alva and Peralta were just kids, like me.

>inb4 hurr durr what's an old fuck doing here?
there are lots of us, there used to be more pre-2010. Old guys have earned the right to waste their time here, it's you guys who should be out fucking around, finding a wife, etc.

Sick board weeb

unlucky mate, at least you can get a sturdier one this time

all my life, I wish asp wasnt raped by wrestling fags so more people would see how nice the skate general is

Yeah hopefully I can get a good deck, any brand you recommend?

poser

being older than 18 and still skating is just sad

Sorry, I haven't bought one in a while, so I don't wanna give you a shit opinion on brands

REAL is the most sturdy i've skated. krooked and plan B are runner ups.

Just get the basic Enjoi boards they go for cheap and are p sturdy if you arent doing anything crazy.

Sk8'n thru the city today.

Only took the tail and I was like 20pushes from my car, so ya, still sk8able for the journey there. Went straight to the mall to buy new one cuz I had a job meeting next door anyway. So broke now but can't wait to ride it >.

No but I pretended to when I was young.

Any of you seen Mid90s? I was basically that kid except I had a stable home life.

I skate tranny, would it hold up to that?

t. it's 2001 and I'm 14 years old

Krooked was my first board and I really liked that board, after that I got a Creature, and after that I had a Consolidated skateboard

My man.

what does a kickflip feel like bros

Skating was only mildly cool when it was done by the odd highschool chad.
Beyond that, anyone less than Tony Hawk comes across as a complete delinquent using a skateboard.

You can only get away with street bmx as an adult. And thats if you look super fit and arent dressed like a stoner.

in my forties and had my first try last week. legs were sore for a few days after, probably from tensing up the whole time I was anticipating a geriatric bone fracture incident.
just ordered some elbow/kneepads and wristguards to go with the helmet.

make sure you get them in a color that matches your purse.

I enjoy skating but my town has too many hills for me to be able to skate as a fun way of transport

At least I can hillbomb i guess

Still cooler than walking

i tried it a couple of times, but really never felt safe so i just couldnt do it

salty milk and coins

No. I ain’t 14 yo anymore.

of course
haven't skated for a while because of two broken bearings, but I still got most of my tricks on lock
I def lost my inward heel though, and have to do like five tries before landing a treflip

Wish I persisted with it when I was younger. Now I'd look like a loser boomer trying to skate.

30 y/o that skated ZERO for a good 17 years here.

Skated World Industries, Flip, Girl, Blind, Deathwish on the top of my head and nothing felt as good as a Zero deck.

Just buy the cheapest one possible. They’ll break no matter what or you’ll wear out the kick. Used to be a local shop that sold generic decks for $30 a piece.

Only if you’re street skating

When you land it you’ll be amazed at how mundane it really is. Grinds and gaps are much more fun. Tre flips are where it’s at and not that much harder.

based reckless user

Street skating is a sport for the socially impaired.

>that 22yo high school dropout who still lives with his parents and skates to his job stocking at a local supermarket

People still skate I thought that was just for 90s kids

A lot of kids and girls getting into skateboarding at my local park. Good times.

I've won several local competitions yes

don't bother with anything made in china. a lot of brands will have cheaper boards made in china. go to a local skater owned shop and they'll probably have something on the cheaper side that isn't from china. avoid the mall.

now that we olympics and Real Sport (tm), I think it's time the skateboarding general lives in Yea Forums

...

depressing it took this long

Yea Forums is dead

>crushingonasolid7withgreenhair
damn this brings back memories

I landed my first kickflip for the first time in like 10 years of not skating

feels good man

I should go skate again

I just started skating again, haven't been on the board for 10 years, I'm 28. I was afraid of looking stupid but then I just thought fuck it, I'm not gonna deprive myself of joy. Just do your own thing dude. Skated all through my tweens and teens, used to be decent, now I can barely ollie but it's coming back.
Just bought some Clouds 56mm wheels, rolls like a dream. I regret not starting sooner...

based

I never learned to skate. I was trying so hard to learn the ollie, but I never did. But I suck in every sport. I don't even care anymore. I'm shitty in every sport that exists.

Darts and snooker are on Yea Forums (which I support - I love both of them), so why not skating? Skating is way more active than either of those and therefore is surely more of a sport.

Also, Yea Forums has been taken over be wrestling faggots, so why shouldn't we welcome skaters over to Yea Forums? Fuck the wrestling weirdos, anything which is a REAL sport (like skateboarding) should be welcome on Yea Forums.

I might suggest actually that following professional skating as a spectator sport should be on Yea Forums (since Yea Forums is for following professional sports), while personal skating might fit in well on /n/. As an /n/ cyclist I think it would be great to have more modes of transport, especially human-powered transport, over there. The fact that skating involves tricks doesn't mean that it can't fit in on /n/.

mompickmeupat4 is not a sport

i'm unironically 38. don't fool yourself into thinking you'll leave, this place is autopilot. you'll be here a bit less, you'll hate it more, disagree with more shit, feel it's even more idiotic and a bigger waste of time. you'll come back though.

I'm 28, I already feel way too old for this place (I've been coming here at least 10 years now, I think I was 17 when I started coming here back in 2008). But if I did change my lifestyle then I think I wouldn't want to come here anymore. And I think that's possible. So no, I don't think it's a given. Nothing is a given in life.

like floating on sunshine, woah oh oh.
An damn it feels good.

I started skating in the 90s, when I was in my twenties.
Skateboarding was a crime in my country when I was a kid.
Still skate.
