First

Botched a rock to fakie and came down hard on my palm/ball of my thumb and can barely move it. Hard to even use the remote lol. What is that just a deep bruise?

Stubbed my toe being a retard at home.
Could hardly walk the last 2 days, skating is completely out of the question. Sucks absolute donkey balls.
Anyone have any experience sending a skateboard through the mail? I'm traveling to Melbourne for a week, pretty keen to skate a new city. Not sure if I should send a board through the post or buy a 2nd hand setup when I arrive.

>>2761837
Never shipped a board in the mail but it shouldn't be any different than anything else which I've don't plenty of times traveling. I mean if you got the dosh though I'd go ahead and buy one there just to be safe - shit does get lost in the mail time to time.

Also ive got a broken toe from last Summer that still flares up when I tweak it wrong. Shit sucks I know. I kicked a soccer ball at the beach a month ago and was afraid to look at it cause I thought it was hanging from a thread.

Started practicing this week now the rain has cleared up. Can't ollie for shit but after practicing for an hour I got a little air and landed one rough and I burst out laughing. So happy

recently bought pic related from my local. its a 7.75. threw some white griptape on it too. It looked clean before i broke it in, but i can't tell which side is up while it's flipping. this is a good thing, because it's training me not to skate by sight, but more by muscle memory.
apparently, as the heatscreen gets scraped away by various ledges and coping etc, itll show the ink underneath the white layer. looking forward to it

i was getting footage a couple days ago, first day on the new board. fucked my back up pretty bad trying to skate too hard. Did some new things, got some decent footage, but i gotta go work my service job and can hardly carry my own weight.

Progress is going backwards, tricks I had are gone completely. I'm always too tired and bummed out to skate, too embarrassed to even skate with people I know. Skating doesn't make me feel good anymore. Think this is the end.

Does anyone have any experience travelling with their board ? In a few weeks I'll be heading to South America (Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Colombia) and was wondering if I can take my board as a carry on item ?

Should be alright, I have a couple friends that have done this a few times. Might want to check with the airline first though before you try lugging it around

are impossibles a cool trick

Tips for getting back foot up higher?

>>2767785
For what? Ollies?
Drag your front foot higher. Tuck your knees. Make sure you keep your centre of balance right in the middle of your board.

So should I put more weight on the front foot or the back?

>>2767903
Stand straight. Shift your weight a littl backwards and explode off your back foot but onto your front one as you jump. Make sure you're not popping your tail directly down, but instead a little bit behind you. This will help with your weight distribution.

Found a waxed up curb in my town tonight, there must be another skateboarder somewhere.... I'm not alone

Does anyone remember a skate video in the mid to early 2000s where the whole time there is a fake side story where they're running from the cops and at the end I think they throw dummies in front of the cop car to make it look like they died. Its been killing me for the past couple of days.

I think the point is to offer the kids an escape from their shitty lives and the conflict by actually offering them some kind of normal childhood. You think it would be better to teach kids how to do manual labour or become child soldiers?

>>2775041
>manual labour or become child soldiers

no,no, I meant useful things. It was more to point it out, I understand it came off wrong. And I have seen a Vice video on skateboarders in palestine and it actually made me feel optimistic.

>>2764778
I say only if the foot wrap looks really vertical, the "imposible" some people do is more like a lazy fucked up shuvit, but a thps style vertical flipping impossible is steezy af

>>2764788
hardflips look dorky if you do them badly too, just learn whatever tricks you like and learn them well if you want to look cool

i just tried to olly for the first time and i fell really weird and hurt my elbow knee and hands. how can i get motivation out of this? also should i practice on grass first? it seems stupid as there shouldn't be any pop

>>2775371
find a crack to put backwheels in

>>2775371
Practicing the movement on dry grass isn't a bad idea. You're not looking to ollie over a bin straight away, you just want to get the technique sorted. Then you can take it to concrete.

>>2775234
I disagree. For some reason the weird 3 foot shuv impossibles look sick.

>>2774046
Nah not really. There's a skatepark that's so fucked its not usable, I did kinda find a cool manual pad in a carpark by my house though.

>>2775596

it's a 3 shuv and not an impossible then.

Any advantages of skating a mini? Should I just stick to a regular if I'm still learning?

>>2776444
get a mini if you skate freestyle. But more importantly, get special designed trucks that won't bend.

>finally skate again after staying at home for 5 days
>pushing suddenly feels really natural
>never fall
>can kickturn without even trying
took me less than 5 hours of practice in total. feels good

how do i tighten my kingpin without the proper tool?

>>2776477
>how do i tighten my kingpin without the proper tool?
Don't, just get used to it mate

>>2776477
by disregarding your skin and finger bones as important organs

>>2776453
What trucks would ever bend?

>>2776683
not bend, I meant trucks which either can be screwed really tight or trucks without bushings.

>>2776477
Socket wrench

>>2776695
Oh I gotcha, how do tighter trucks help?

>>2776983
keeping the deck leveled, offers more balance and also allows for snap motions.

>>2776983
less steeze, more pivoting and tick tacking

>>2776983
pressure flips and shit like that

>>2777005
>less steeze

yes, because you can see Rodney Mullen struggling when performing, I mean that's his whole charm, that we get to see the struggle in what he does.

Why would you want less steeze?

Interestingly enough on the topic of truck tightness. Should I tighten them up if I'm trying to learn a Strawberry Milkshake? Feel like I can do this but I wanna come in fully prepared. That's my trick for tomorrow.

>>2779786
it helps, but it's not absolutely necessary.

I didn't realize that. Scientology is awful. I'll take your word on originality, were there other 'you make it we skate it' or other videos they ripped off?

To me it seems like they are just having a good time doing what they love and helping more people get into skating, which is good all around, no? His tutorials are pretty damn helpful too. I got no argument to defend the Scientology bit though...

im still pretty sloppy just pushing, and im hopeless trying to skate switch.

No tips til you post that source.

>Will learning tricks help me be more confident on the board

kinda. It will help you in the long rn, because once you 've had a trick on lock you won't be starting others from scratch. But it really is up to you, however you think of it, that's the best way.

The dudes I met were about 25. I'm 20. Just gotta go to the park and go hangout where there's people riding and chilling.

Maybe need to buy a new deck soon.

I have been skating a 7.75 and it kinda feels small for my feet. Thinking about getting an 8 but my trucks are 129 and they're brand new. Is it okay to skate an 8 deck on 129 trucks?

>>2789119
139s would be ideal but you could probably get away with it. Poor choice buying 129s desu.

>>2789119
>>2789212
I 've been skating 129s for 3 of the 4 years I've been skating, almost exclusively 8 and up decks.

The general rule is if you want to be techier, you go small: small deck, small trucks, small wheels

The hesher you go, the larger your gear goes: bigger decks, bigger trucks, bigger wheels.

That's because in tech, you want to give up some of your firmness to gain manoeuverability, whilst in going burly you need as much foothold as you can get with the speed and heights you 'll be aiming for.

Spitfire Formula Fours are the classic for a reason.

Slowly moving up deck sizes, started with a 7.5, went up to 7.75, now I'm going for a 7.875. The question I have is will my 129 indys be alright? with that size?

Not often, but when I do it's nightcore or dj sets.

I'm a beginner and have been using a 7.75 but I think I want to go down to a 7.5.

Nightcore is sped up garbage dude.

>>2790599
i disagree. the tracks that I linked (along with everything else similar artists are currently doing) are a lot more involved than the lazy nightcore "remixes" from the mid-2000s, it's more than just increasing the tempo and pitch. crapface and strider are some of my favorites in the nightcore community. additionally, 160 bpm is pretty fun to skate to

why don't vans pro have suede on the side panel. am i not supposed to be doing heelflips? fuck you vans.

>>2790907

Speaking of Vans pro, are they any good ?

>>2790925
have you ever owned a pair of vans?because they're pretty much a slightly-improved version of your average vans.

the ultracush insole really does improve the support and feeling, not only on the board but off it too. on the other hand the extra top rubber they give you barely makes a difference, improving their life maybe a couple sessions.

the overall construction of vans is total shit. before i ever even really wore mine the side-stripe stitching loosened. soon after that the eyestay unstiched from the side panel, but that was after a few sessions. then the heel piece unstitched from the side panel. the soles are also fairly thin. better than some, but should be a little more.

Still overall my favorite shoes for ttheir mix of comfort, boardfeel, and support, but i really wish they'd either 1) improve the quality of the product and materials or 2) charge more for the pros but make them actually better.

Got up with some of the older guys from the skatepark last weekend and ate a bunch of acid at a cabin in the woods. Had a little pow wow and worked on a lot of our commitment issues when it comes to new tricks.

We all learned new tricks last week and have been going bigger on tricks we already had.

Was a good week.

Got hit by a car today. Snapped my deck and got a few stitches on my eyebrow. I was skating across the pedestrian crossing while the lights were red and got cleaned up by some dickhead trying to zoom up the hill just as the lights changed. He filed a police report so I really hope I don't get fucked over.

How do you guys pop off hard? Like does your back foot start off flat or on the ball? Do you guys jump when the tail hits the ground or earlier?

I didn't exactly have right of way, the green man wasn't flashing plus I was carrying a beer and fled the scene. I'm hoping. the fact that i was inside the crossing area, plus the guy accelerated into me, might help my case.

Anyone ever had an insurance claim filed against them for skating? I'll probably be fine, I feel that the driver has a lot of witnesses on his side though. Some old dude came over and called me a drunk while I was enjoying my post collision cigarette.

Drivers must give way to pedestrians at all times if they're in the road. Like one foot off the curb and you have right of way.

>the Kona 40th Anniversary this weekend?

DIDN'T THAT ALREADY HAPPEN?

hi, I know people aren't asking shit like this but I'll still give it a go. When I skate, im really stiff, and I can't fix my horrible style. It means that, because I don't bend my knees, I can't pump on ramps or get decent height on any tricks, and it's stopped me from learning anything new. I have a similar problem with my shoulders, and it's stopping me from learning backside disasters on tranny. Please tell me how I can loosen up, I have some tricks down (especially on tranny) but my style is horrendous and it's gna hurt me in the long run.
>tl;dr, my knees don't move fellas
>liverpool skater

>>2797939
give it some time mate. Meanwhile, don't forget to skate how you feel.

>>2797939

As with most problems with form: Just skate a whole fucking bunch. Just cruise around as much as you can. Eventually you'll loosen up and slacken your movements.

wow skating is so fucking addicting once you get decent at it. i just skated for 2 hours without any breaks, no tricks at all, just cruising.

>>2799608

When doing a trick do you place your whole foot on the deck, or just the sole? Wondering if i have been making it harder for me than it has to be all the time

I really am on the fence these days with Spitfire and Independent. I know they are "core" but I see those companies spend so much money on adverts/branding that I can't help but think they're just branded generic hardware.

lets create a hypothetical where you get the chance to skate with Reynolds, Hawk, and Koston in an afternoon, but instead of doing that, some fuckhead across the ocean says you actually need to learn to wire up electricity instead.

the moral of the story is unless you live there and are part of the culture, who the fuck are you to tell them its important?

The problem is that I'm not good enough for things that you might consider spots.

There are two spots that I can skate, One is a small square that has three ground-level fountains with grindable side walls. But they're filled with water so you know why that sucks.

The second is a literal two-stair with a bicycle ramp of the same height. Shitty landing.

>>2803296
when you say slightly worse, can you even articulate what that means? Like do you peel out 20% more? Do you land tricks less confidently? Where do you actually perceive the "slightly worse".

Also don't forget the faux skate team that allows them the privelage of circlejerking each other with "pro" status.

>>2803362
all those names you mentioned will be gone the next day. But the electricity will remain down. Disregarding the fact that NOBODY who actually loves skateboarding would skate next to Hawk, Reynolds and Koston unless they were adequately skilled, cudos to you for evaluating needs appropriately.

I'll tell you what smart guy. Why dont you let the people who can actually skate teach them how to skate, and then that way you can go over there with your amazing wisdom, and "teach" them about electricity which i'm sure everyone in the town would show up for.

Oh but wait, you're actually a 13 yo on the internet who dosen't do anything but shitpost about others taking action. At least you watched a vice doc and feel good about it. Way to go duuude.
