>>846644
Well if we're talking team then Nike SB without a doubt
http://youtu.be/7254-keVIwk
Keyword being team, I do not support Nike SB as a brand
>>846644
If you meant brands I support there's Quasi (great graphics, art direction, general vibe, and awesome team) and Emerica (probably the only non-corpo shoe I really like, plus there's Jeremy Leabres, Figgy, and Brian Herman)
>>846644
Baker/Deathwish.

wut?
So hey guys,
I want to longboard, i enjoy so much the idea of chilling out in a ride while listening to your favorite music. I don't care that much about tricks (I already do and have an bmx for this purpose).
However most of the longboards i can afford (i want something cost x benefit) support up to 70kg, and i have 75kg.
So i was thinking about going to skate, but here's my question: Does the skates have this weight problem too? Is it dumb to get in a department store and buy the first skate i see?
There's no skate store where i live, there are few places that sell "professional skates"
>>848594
how do you know what a longboard is but refer to skateboards as skates
>>848594
what kind of longboards only support 70kg, thats notthing
>>848594
do you have autism
>>848662
I'm not from U.S or any english speaking country, sorry for my grammar. Here we refer to skateboards as "skates", as there's no need to translate "boards"
>>848664
That's the information they give on the offer, the longboard is pic related. I'm thinking about getting one, i don't believe it only supports 70kg.
Left one is the more expensive. Both, supposedly supports up to 70kg according to the store.
>>848672
this not a longboard thread
>>848676
Whats the difference faggot?
Were talking about longboards, get out of my thread
>>848676

yeah they make better and better bowls for the Van Doren Invitational contests. A big-ass park was built in my city a handful of years ago and we still would change it for the VDI bowl any day - it has pretty much anything a tranny skater would like to have.

is that you in the photo?
I can't get the backside boneless down, my back foot always slips off.
>>852149
no, but by "one of these" what I mean is "that sort of position", not just throwing the board and hopefully landing on it. at first it was challenging but I've found out the more exaggerated/ Ronnie-Sandoval-tier you do it, the safer it feels.
I started putting some griptape close to where the wheel hits the wood and that helps a lot: with a firmer grab it's also much easier to glue your backfoot to the board I think. also my hands are usually greasy.

I wasn't doubting
>>852360
Same situation. What kind of places do you go? I can't be the grown-ass man skating and sucking ass in public. I'd be cringing so hard I wouldn't even improve. I went with a friend from work a week ago because it looks less autistic in a group, but I'm not gonna call him up every time I want to skate.
>>850766
That's cute.
>>847025
The majority of older skaters don't smoke weed. You have your generations mixed up senpai.
I've seen a bunch of fat guys get back on their boards and melt off the pounds. It really works.
>>852478
i skate high trucks to minimize the effect of wheel bites. there's no difference from lows

>I can't be the grown-ass man skating and sucking ass in public. I'd be cringing so hard I wouldn't even improve

Hey /esg/ someone could give me the right nomenclature in this trick?
I've already came to: "No-comply bump finger-heelflip to Indy grab." Is it the right name?
https://49.media.tumblr.com/4a00e8bc250d9fa42241c1c2093c24f9/tumblr_nx62zhaNds1rjn3gzo1_400.gif
>>853641
I'd say no-comply bump heelflip to Indy grab. Don't know where you got finger from.
Sooo...what did you guys think about the Ali Boulala episode of Epicly Later'd?
>>849288
8' Plan B holds my 120 kg easily
>>852738
I first started by going to secluded places like churches and behind big department stores at night for a couple weeks until I got the basics back and got comfortable on the board again. After that I said fuck it and skated wherever the hell I wanted and had fun. Who gives a shit if some random people you don't know see you? Just go have fun.
where do you guys go to look for new tricks? is there some kind of encyclopedia out there?
>>853853
I think of a trick and try it? What do you mean? Like the names, or what the trick consists of, or what.

>>853989
Sushi is a boss.
>>853645
Stop over complicating the name with unnecessary terms. Its a no comply flip indy.
>>853853
yes, but the older people at your skatepark have to trust you to give it to you.
I already said too much
>>853853
go to parks, watch people do tricks, learn from them
>>853382
>>853730
Thanks for the advice. I'm typically a recluse anyway so this kind of thing is equivalent to doing interpretive dance or something. And I'm not afraid of strangers, I'm afraid of their smartphones. 2015/16 is terrifying for anyone who prefers to keep to themselves. I wouldn't object to skating alone at a park once I get gud but until then it's abandoned lots for me.

>>853645
It's really fast the finger-heelflip, it's almost at the same time the board bumps in the block, pay attention to his front hand as the skate bumps.
>>854248
It's not over complicating, some of these days I got a friend saying the same thing of you as me and other friend was trying to classify one trick, ironically when he's naming the tricks he does come up with nomenclatures that not everyone is acquainted of...
>>854248
continuing from:>>854768
Just showing another point, your "no comply flip indy" is just not enough to specify the trick... Because it's not a common "No-Comply" it's a "No-Comply Bump", furthermore it's not a "flip" it's a "heelflip".
>Don't be mad at me as I'm trying to show you something.(Please)

sorry for the super beginner question - but what the fuck happened to my wheel? Was skating along and it just popped out. Is there anything I can replace without having to buy a whole new set of wheels?
>>854923
Bearing popped out. The metal ring inside your wheel is the outer of your bearing.

> get a new bearing and put it in your wheel; legit skateshops usually sell single parts
>>854620

I have a problem in my sciatic nerve, i suffer from severe pain. Is it risky to start skateboarding?
>>855100
skating tends to be high impact if you try to do anything but cruise around, and even then you'll fall hard as you learn to ride around town, so yea probably
>>854770
Dude no
>Because it's not a common "No-Comply" it's a "No-Comply Bump"
Dude, don't talk shit when you don't have a clue. No complies originated as being popped off the curb. Thats the trick in its base form, don't try to change its name.
>furthermore it's not a "flip" it's a "heelflip".
Nope, its a no comply flip. There is no heel in there. The flip is from the slight angle it hits the curb at.
>I've actually got people calling me names cause I was trying to specify the trick.
Where?
how the fuck do slappies work?
My board just slams into the side of the curb and stops. I can never get it up on to the curb.
>>855209

Let's say I used to skate a lot but was never good at tricks. Just liked to do Ollie and ride around and do some ground tricks like that one skater who was sponsored by the panda company. He did like handstands on his board a lot.
Anyways I'm 22 now and I kind of feel awkward wanting to get back into it but I'm falling out of video games and already play an instrument. Is skateboarding a thing I can really come back to? And if so what would you recommend me having to buy to start back again without any equipment or shoes or anything.
>>856230
>Is skateboarding a thing I can really come back to?
Yes.
Do you have a local skate shop in your area?
>>856238
I just looked it up and yah there seems to be only one in town.
>>856402
>>856167
Same, I can sort of cheat my way into landing it though, like approach from the middle of the ledge. Nollie back tails should help
>>856230
Better late than never man, go for it.Don't buy a complete online, get down to a local skate shop, they should help you out with the price if you are a beginner.
>>856190
weeb
>>856699
Cool thanks! Any brands or specifications I should stay away from?
>>856162
Man, he's such a beast when it comes to "real" street skating. Rough spots, rugged asphalt etc. Always liked the east coast type of skating way more than the california scene (except for San Francisco which have similar spots).
>>856402
Pops was klling it back then. I hope he's making a comeback soon.
>>856727
>except for San Francisco
yeah, but the similarities are due to the most technical skaters coming from there.
>>856591
>Nollie back tails should help
i was thinking the same thing.
the sliding is hard for me because slipping out is the scariest thing. i try to focus on just getting on, but the fear of falling face first is a mental block
I had a dream last night the I ollied a 6 stair which had an anaconda lying on it. It was pretty cool.

>>854620
Get down the basics (ollie, fs/bs 180, shuvit, pop shuv, kickflip, and heelflip), then get to slides/grinds (starting with 50-50 and boardslide, then wherever from there), and just have fun.
Bought a new board, the guy who designed the board was the one who sold it to me lol
>>858180
Looks dope
>>854620
Actually get out more with it, land kickflips, try some foot plants and other old school junk and destroy my current deck doing it. Oh, and tear up ramps with the RIP rider and not die.

Is a Skateboard a viable option to move across the city? Should i get a bike instead?
>>860313
personally I think skateboards are a shit option for transportation. Even with a big wheeled cruiser you're still going to be doing a lot more work than if you were cycling. Not to mention the fact that you are severely limited in the terrain you can traverse. Get a skateboard for skating and anything else for transport.

I like his new style, CK is having lots of fun
>>860730
I see you like to report posts

all weight on the back truck, force it through
>>861307
fuck, this almost gave me a boner.
it was great
Why can't any other company see that shit?
They have riders in that level.
Why can't they keep a fucking camera steady??
Are they in a silent agreement with Nike?
>>861836
do you know how to pop out?
>>861932
I can't grind for shit, but even I can tell you: slide your foot. if you are comfortable on the grind, it 'll come to you.
>>861968
it's easier said than done, i've been trying this trick for months. landed it a few times, by luck
>>862141
even in the webm you can see there is nothing to pop his board against, he slides his board.
and of course it's easier said than done, I wasn't patronising, sorry if it came out that way.
>>862165
it's still called a pop out

Lol thanks dood.
Btw, is anyone /fit/ on here? Earlier today, whenever i go for an Ollie my body gets stiff in the middle of the jump. In result, I end up doing rocket ollies. Are there any stretch exercises that can prevent this from happening, or should I just take a break from skating for a couple days?
>>862550
Stationary or moving?
>>862767
Moving. It's been happening recently and it's getting annoying. This is an old screenshot of myself doing it on a bump to hydrant
Started skating 2 months or so ago, I ride goofy but for some reason trying to do tricks feels a lot more natural in regular stance.
Is this a common problem? What should I do about it?
>>863006
Yes. Just learn to push both ways. Do not get into the habit of 'mongo' pushing.
>>846341
this one is for my niggas in /asp/
>>860389
Thanks brother. Went out just now and didn't crash (felt sketchy as fuck initially). I'm not setting any records, just kick, push but I'm having a ball.
>>863015
nice clipfam
>>862934
fucking neat
maybe it's the cold and that it keeps you from skating as much as in summertime.
>>862934
Nice photograph, friend!
>>848676
Buy a short board you pussy it's faster
>>848797
I got some hard bones bushings and took out the top metal washer from the kingpin. Feelsgoodman. Fucks up your pivot cup tho and my board gets speed wobbles rolling by itself haha
>>854620
Stalefish on hips
>>855209
Learn them backside. A good way to get used to the feel is by doing a manual then shifting your foot behind while on the tail so you do a little power slide. As for a slappy... It's just that but go from toe to heel so you get on the curb
Hey, lads.
Does anyone have any tips for switch tricks? I'm making progress and I know that with enough effort and experimenting the tricks will eventually come to me. But I am curious if any of you have any tips that might inspire a breakthrough.
so does everyone on /asp/ hate shawn powers now too?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsE_bectwRE
>>863903
wherever you go with your skateboard, move around on your switch stance.you don't get as tired if you have to skate to a spot or park, it also improves your skating overall, but mostly makes you feel comfier while going switch.
So I figured out the problem why my kick in my kickflip was making me do a shuv it. When I was flicking, I wasn't raising that back leg. Any pro tips for raising the back leg when I flick? I can't seem to get it.
>>864299
try to get used to jumping over obstacles and into banks, even if separately at first. when diving into a bank, make sure you raise your ollie like there was an obstacle but then level your board with the bank. both should force you to level your board and raise your back leg when ollieing.
I would also suggest you'd move around in a much more lively fashion, like a high speed cruise, when you skate, while also jumping over obstacles, even if small ones, every now and then. I've noticed most people try to do fliptricks while skating tiny boards with hard trucks at -2 mph with the heels of their back foot on their tails and surf-like front foot (tldr, not skating well at all). If you can skate at a certain speed and ollie over stuff fluently, and also do 180s with ease, tech-ier tricks will come easier later on.
please do allow me to use gillette as an example. not my favorite, but illustrative, I guess.

>>864299
Practice on flat ground jumping as high as you can on one foot, that's how I improved my vertical. Hope it helps bro

why would anyone hate him?
Anyone here skate in the winter?
I live in the Midwest and it's around 20-30 degrees each day. Will that fuck up my board?
>>864683
>Will that fuck up my board?
Who fucking cares mate just go skate
kid at my old school made this with his friends skating in it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ge6vxEiBXE
really worth the watch some sick young lads
>>864683
I've had my trucks tighten after keeping my board in 10/20 degree temperatures in my garage. I think cold temps harden the bushings
https://youtu.be/AMj7dBPyxsU
>cheaper than Cons, Nike and Huf
>Is out before Adidas and Vans
>has cushioning when others don't
So why haven't you thought about Evan Smith's shoe senpai?
>>864683
been skating chicago winters for almost a decade now. winter sucks, but skate or die motherfuckers.
yeah, you'll ruin your board with all that moisture. skating 2-3 hours a day, a deck would last me two months tops before i get really bad pressure cracks. the deck gets so soggy, the edges and the tail fall apart. i've had boards snap on me a couple of times and i got hurt.
but that's no big deal really. the worst part about winter skating is keeping your bearings rolling.
>>864904
>DC
purely because of this honestly
>>861307
I thought was fucking rad. Awesome music and great filming
>>861726
this. I used to see him as another tech kiddie shane, but now his style is much more appealing and he seems to have lots of fun with his skating. gotta respect that, even if he rides for nike.
>>864571
Why would you not hate him?
>can't skate
>can't make art
And now
>destroys other people's property and tortures animals
Dude is just an all around asshole
>>864683
Your bushings will freeze, but that's about it. As long as you don't ride obnoxiously loose trucks you will be fine
>>864995
What's wrong with DC?
>>865145
>tortures animals
what?
and he can skate.
I won't disagree about the art, but that's because he's selling it.

He's a attention whore, never understood why Palace put him on the team.
>>865199
I just don't like what the brand represents and there are other brands I would much more gladly support
The shoes are probably fine and gr8 to sk8 but I just don't like DC personally
>>865272
yeah Danny Way looks like a cunt too.
>>865270
Can we petition to drop him and get Jamal Smith on?
Just picked up a never summer longboard on impulse since it was 30% cause we are in the middle of winter and it's snowy as shit.
It's already 5x better than my old longboard
>>865279
Do petition even work for skateboarding?
>>865224
A video surfaced of him breaking the glass of a seafood restaurant's tank. He then picks up one of the three lobsters that poured out of the tank and throws it at a brick wall.
Killing the lobsters, and most likely the other animals in the tanks, is a really shitty thing to do. Not to mention the repairs that the restaurant will have to pay for (hopefully SP gets in trouble and ends up paying for the repairs).
>>865403
Wow, what a edge lord.
>>865403
he always seemed kind of dopey
>>864904
Evan is gnarly.
If it's in all suede then I'll try a pair, not to sure on the "super canvas"

What do if I like the length of longboards and the overall ride but still want to bust tricks like a regular skateboarder?
Whenever I've stood on a regular skateboard I didn't really like how it felt
>>865583
>Whenever I've stood on a regular skateboard I didn't really like how it felt
what. Just start skateboarding. Have you spent more than a second on a skateboard?
>>865489
Toe, heel and ollie spots are suede on the low tops. The rest is canvas.
>>865382
Fuck no, but I rather see more Jamal footy than shitty art that deserves to be in /b/

This is the wrestling board. Go to /toy/ with all the other kids.

i posted in one of these threads a month or two ago just to see what's up. i haven't skated in years beyond rolling down to the dumpster, but i wanna get back into it.
i just ordered a new deck and some bearings, using a set of unused powell wheels that i had lying in a box somewhere. my rusty old grind king trucks should be alright, now all i have to do is grab some grip tape and i'll be golden. or something like that. my legs are gonna be wobbly as shit.
>>865717
There is a difference between hurting animals for consumption and sport.
>>866119
Congratulations, anon. Welcome back!
>>866119
Good pick
I love Toy Machine.
>>866144
haha thanks! i'll have to check on these threads more often. i used to post on the tum yeto message boards years ago, but those have long since vanished.
>>866150
honestly i was planning to hang the Toy one up in my room for now because i love the design, but i'll probably end up skating it eventually. the habitat board feels a bit lighter, too. it's been years like i said, so i don't remember which board brands i've owned that lasted any longer than the others.
any recommendations for trucks? i'm leaning toward getting a new pair of grind kings if the ones i have are too broken down. i like the lightweight design.
image is what i found when i dug up my box of old parts. a big chunk of wax had turned it into art.
>>866158
Thunder or Indy's trucks are great, desu.
>>865726
You in Tijuana cuz same
>>866158
Thunder/Venture are really good trucks.
Indy's are also great if you do a heavy amount of grinds
>>854620
Ollie comfortably while moving, enough that I can ollie up onto a pad or down a small drop
While not moving: Kickflip, front shuv, impossible (I gave it a few attempts for funsies and actually got surprisingly close.)
Basic bowl carving. Starting this goal this week.
>>866350
how're u gonna do an impossible stationary? Sounds a lot harder than a moving one

>>866698
Fuck winter
>>866552
very horizontal, barely any wrap at all. More like a 360shuv but I'm pushing the rotation all the way through.
While its contemporaries like the boneless and slappy survived, the streetplant died because it didn’t involve rolling. And if you’re not rolling, you’re not skating.
>>856031
I think you should because Newton's laws won't do much for you here
