hey, dont know if this is the right place to ask, but what are some good skateboarding tutorials online? I can do an ollie alright but thats about it and I dont really have anyone to teach me shit. where should I look to learn more shit?

>>869359
As much as everyone here shits on Aaron Kyro, his Braille skateboard tips on youtube are actually pretty decent.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XgjDhSnTtE

However, I was once in your position where I had just barely learnt how to ollie and was super keen to learn how to do all the gnarly tricks I could. It's a very common mistake that new skateboarders make. The greatest piece of advice I could give you would be to keep on riding and riding and riding. Just ollie all the time. Onto stuff. Off of stuff. Over stuff. As fast as you can. It's such a huge mistake trying too much too quickly. You will progress so much faster if you're comfortable on the board.
Honestly, just practice and master the ollie for the next 3 months before you start fucking around with flat ground tricks.

Mine make noise when im turning wheel and this metal cover on the sides got detached (no idea how) so I can see balls.

>>871466
Kek. You only removed the shields, you're okay. You replaced them when you can feel they're not spinning fast enough for you. The bearing are not fucked.

>>870942
>THUG2
Fuck no. In terms of button mashing, THUG or THPS 2
For realism, Skate 2

>>869298
I guess you didn't learn them...

>>871505
I'm exaggerating of course. I was just used to how easy it was to powerslide on bones, now I have to get used to putting a lot more effort into them. Spitfires are way better wheels though.

>>871496
I like the physics and controls in 3 better, but 2 had better maps and was over all more fun. Just... The fucking running sucks

>>871575
are you talking about the security guards? It mainly sucked during challenges but it was okay to deal with when cruising.
Skate 2's map easily beats Skate 3's by longshot for me. I hated that the Downtown section was way too spaced out, rails were usually super long like Jamie Thomas designed the damn things and pedestrians hung out at obstacle you're trying to skate if you took too long.

are bushings a good afterbuy or are they irrelevant, like bolts? Should I buy bushings?

>>871725
I guess if your trucks are still good but the bushings have blown out you can replace them. A lot of people like the bones medium bushings, I think they are supposed to break in really fast and last long. I knew someone who did not like the Thunder stock bushings so he replaced them. I guess it's all preference, but I don't think it will have a significant impact on your skating.

>>871744
allright thanks man.

>>871725
Bushings matter if you ride loose trucks. If you don't, ride stock.

>>871494
So can I ride bearings with no shields at all?

>>871787
yep

>>871787
some people prefer them that way even. I don't understand why.

>>871809
It's cool des. It makes a loud noise.

Personally, I haven't experienced any sort of loss in durability when not using shields compared to using shields.

>>872330
Skateboard isn't that complicated, you won't have any problems with building it.
Invest in trucks - you won't grind the shit out of them soon, so they will last you a long time.
Don't buy bearings more expensive than Bones Reds, they are enough.
When you choose parts, you know what you have. IMO its better to have good trucks and cheap blank deck than mediocre whole board.

>>871548
I kind of agree with you, I also learnt them on bones and then got spitfire wheels, spitfires are awsome, but actuallly I'm riding cheap basic wheels, just because they are like 10$

>>871845
>>871809
>>871804
Ill clean them today, but don't have any special oil or smth. What can I use?

>>872557
'Silicone Spray', you can cop it at your local hardware store. Avoid something like 'WD-40', it leaves a thin film that attracts dirt. Whatever you buy, use it sparingly; a little bit goes a long way.

Any tips for a slappy grind?
Saw Grosso do one and it looked dope.

hey /esg/

I don't skate much, but I just inherited a longboard deck. Can you recommend me some trucks, bearings, wheels, and anything else I'll need to get this thing up and running?

>>872522
>Don't buy bearings more expensive than Bones Reds, they are enough.

Why you guys keep perpetuating this bullshit is beyond me. Bones Reds suck. They are cheap for a reason. They don't last very long. Their shields are so flimsy and warp easily. They tend to let dirt in and you end up cleaning them more often to get them rolling fast again, otherwise they sieze up and fall apart on you mid-session. There are tons of better bearings out there for around the same price. Hell, even their Super Reds are much better. You'll know the difference once you tried them. The materials and design are just better quality, especially the shields.

If your life is too easy and you need a near-constant source of disappointment and frustration then stick to Reds.

>>873215
Instead of just complaining, reccomend something better to support your bitching.

>>873215
Not that guy, but I usually use a set of reds for about two years and they perform well for pretty much their entire lifespan. I never use the shields and I also never bother to clean or lube them. They work just fine, bearings aren't a big deal. At all.

focus on landing upside down, if you're afraid of landing. then flick slightly more and the board should slap up against your back foot, catch it land and roll away. give yourself a pat on the back

Flick out, not down.

Keep your shoulders square and don't let the board get too far in front or behind you.

People hate longboards because they are easier to ride. Longboards are more practical for long distance. Only difference is size and wheel softness. Skateboard is more trick oriented. Longboard is for downhill speed.

>>877582

I hate longboarders because the typical neckbeards who longboard have done what neckbeards do and tried to overcomplicate a piece of wood and 4 wheels. like those fuckin spider trucks or whatever they are called. Bombing hills on a skateboard is 10 times cooler because it's sketchy as fuck too.

Can someone explain me skaters attetude to big companies and hating on nike?
I think all this was explained in one of south park episode about family cofee house.
Nike make great shoes I had vans and globe they didn't serve me as long as a worn off kostons which my friend had given me.
Skater explain me is Nike a real problem and something bad for skateboarding?
I see only positive things of such support and attention.
ps Sorry for mistakes I'm russian

>>878567
I like Nike. They are able to support a significant amount of skaters, both popular and unknown. Nike also does nice things for skating, like buying the LA courthouse ledges. Nike supports Pete Spooner and Phillip Schwartz, my favorite skate film producers, I think that's rad. Their shoes are pretty solid as well, my favorite pair of skate shoes is probably these Janoskis I used to have, they fit me perfectly.

you guys should drop the high school mentality on longboard/skateboard rivalry shits annoying. yes there are faggots who longboard. there are faggots who skate regular boards too. I started out longboarding garages and downhill and I love skateboarding transition, I also have a lot of respect for street. they're both fun in there own way, longboards do things shortboards can't and vice versa. I have friends who skate both and I've met some really cool skaters in both scenes. it's not a dick measuring contest were all doing this shit for fun/ as a way of life. and I know there are a lot of casuals/kooks who just cruise on longboards but so what??If they aren't bothering you leave them alone, they either progress or stop eventually.

>>878700
on one hand, you are right about following your passion. And it's true that several companies produce longboards too.
Personally, I like tricks. Which in the hybrid era of the early 80s, would make me a "poseur" or a "kook", since "tricks" was back then a illicit term. It was about flowing and maneuvering in the bowls.

But on the other hand, you can bomb hills with a skateboard. So I don't think the
>longboards do things shortboards can't
part of your post is true.

>>878687
I actualy don't . I just wanted to know, why it considered as something bad.
As I expected it just a way of showing off for nonconformist teenagers.

It's called a skateboard.

its the same reason people hate the Yankees.
They can buy the team members they wants, they just throw money at riders. people accuse them of basically jumping into a non-mainstream market and buying their way to the foreground because they can.

It's called a skateboard 'braj' and yes you can, you can do anything you want thats the beauty of skating.

>>878567

Nike doesn't care for its skaters in the way other companies do, they see them as simply names to push product. If you need an example look at how Nike have treated every skater who has got a shoe after janoski. They don't let riders design unique shoes any more because that shoe made Stefan so much money instead of Nike. Look at Ishod and grant taylors pro shoes, all existing nike shoes so all the money goes to nike.

>>878904
What are you on about, man? Stefan did not design his own shoe.

Financially, Nike riders most definitely get bigger paychecks than the pros on skater-owned brands. Paying royalties for pro model shoes is a mutual agreement, I'm sure that both Ishod and Grant negotiated with Nike before settling at a price that they were comfortable with. Janoski's current situation, with the whole deal about accepting a one-time lump sum instead of royalties, is mutually beneficial to both Nike and Stefan. Nike no longer has to worry about royalties for Janoskis (which, like you said, were astronomically high) and Stefan gets a huge chunk of change (that he thinks is an acceptable amount) to invest/do whatever with.

I'm not sure if this belongs here, but I'm not sure where else. I was at a train station the other day, and I had found one a ripstik. It was sort of laying there. I had left, and came back after an hour, and it was still there. I figured whoever lost it wasn't coming back for it, so I took it.

My question is, is it worth it to learn to ride one of these, or should I just pick up a regular skateboard? I've never skate before, which is why I'm asking. So far I've heard skaters say they suck, other skaters say they don't mind them. What's your opinion, /asp/?

so this is a thing

Top kek.
It be best to pick up a regular skateboard.

Are there any benefits to using a 7.5 skateboard and it feels a bit too small, but still acceptable.

I was wondering if there are any specific advantages over using a shorter board rather than a wide one.

Thanks in advance!

>>878968
get a longoard, pennyboards are massive fuccboi material, wood boards that are similar to pennyboards are also fiarly fuccbi but less

high quality cruisers and longboards is the only way to stay safe

What's the future of skating? Will it die completely within a few years? I love it so much but I really don't see how it affects the world anymore, and am worried that one day it will be something that is forever gone and forgotten

>>879664
>doesn't affect the world
Sure skateboarding is not influencing half of streetwear culture right now (i.e. Palace, Supreme) or getting exsposure via contests aired on television or gaining some recognition from Gucci who not only used a board in an ad but ripped one or the more well known songs from skateboarding's recent history.

Yep, five years from now will cease to exist.

>>879622
whatever makes you feel comfortable
Generally, thinner boards are easier to get your tech on, while wider boards allow you to go faster and ride a wider variety of surfaces, that's the rule of thumb, but what suits you is totally up to you. Experiment and always remember to keep it fun.

>>879664

Flip tricks are easier on smaller boards.
It just comes down to preference.

>>880223
>Flip tricks are easier on smaller boards.
i never got this desu. sure, it's easier to get them to move around, but it's also harder to control. shit flies everywhere with a little board

>>880260
>>880260
it's the same mechanics as with a vehicle's gear sprockets: the smaller the radius, the faster the revolution.
Goes both for vertical/width of the board axis (flips) as well as for longitudinal (pop-shuv its).

>>880283
yeah, i agree that it is easier to flip a small board, but a small board doesn't necessarily equate to easier flip tricks. a wider board gives significantly more control, along with a more forgiving area to land on. when it comes down tot he entire trick, i think that a wider deck is the better choice for easier flip tricks.

>>879512
I rode one for a month a few years ago, though I had already been skating for a few years back then. So I'm not sure how well it is to try and learn to skate on one of those things.

I think it's best to get a real skateboard if you want to skate, and keep the ripstick as just a quirky gimmick to fuck around with.
I'll have to say though, that bombing a hill on a ripstick is fun as fuck, it's like surfing.

>>878901
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmAdhC5Q26Y Nope. sorry can't do that with a skateboard. you can hit like 20-25 max before you bail hard, not hating just saying you can't in fact do that sir.

>>878968
Don't get a penny board dude they're plastic and ride like shit.

>>880359
that's dependant on the tricks: it's harder to casper, double flip and 360 flip on a wider board.
Thinner boards require greater precision but if you already know how to kickflip, you 'll find it requires a little more effort on a wider board than what you usually are riding.

In one of the shops they even have benches made out of decks, but they dont have any skateboarding equipment to buy.

Some people will still like skating, some will watch skaters break their bones for lulz, some will keep hating them, and some won't care about skating. Itll be like it is now imo.

I just got my old board out after years of not skating. The grip needs to be replaced pretty badly.

Do you need to get rid of all the sticky residue from the old tape before putting down new tape?

>>881020
You can just grip over it, the sticky adhesive left behind won't hurt your board.

Cool thanks, wasn't sure if it would fuck up and make i uneven or something

As I teenager I never once landed an ollie. I recently got back into skating and it took me about 15 minutes on grass to be able to.

It's something that really can't be taught. Just do it over and over again and eventually you'll get it. Think about what needs to be done and don't try to rush the movements

Whats a good board , truck and wheel setup for a beginner.

I know barely anything about skating so all information is welcome

>>881276
Honestly just buy complete set if you're a beginner.

Else go to a skate shop in your city, pick a board with a cool picture you like that isn't too expensive for you. Ask the shopkeeper for some suitable trucks (they're all roughly the same price). Get Bones Red bearings, they're durable, fast and cheap as hell. 52mm is the go to wheel size, but ask the guy if you need.

Eyyyyy
Been a poorfag for a while now, unable to afford a pair of shoes. (wearing the same J's sandals for about 2 yrs). Settled for some shitty sketchers with some gel soles. Fuck it, a pair of shoes. Getting older and not having skated for a good while, I'd say just get out there and do it. Anyone taken an extended break, find a progression to get back to funkified flo with haste? God it feels shitty my feet not keeping up with my head's experience.

ALSO, shitty shoes cuz the shop I tried had some fuckin kangaroo-ass feet lookin stompers. This some AZN fuckup they're tryna sell off, did skaters all die out cept down undah, or they so jewish now they only give you half the surface area under foot? wtf mate?

>>880801
Took me 3 months. I've started skateboarding in June 2015 and landed my first kickflip in September. It's not consistent however, i land like 1 out of 10+ attempts and it depends on my shoes a lot.
I am very consistent with my front and back pop-shuvits however, strangely a lot of people don't know how to do front shuvs, which helps me in game of skate a little. I've also learned 360 pop shuvits somewhere in late october/november.
My goal for the next season is to get consistent with kickflips, 360 shoveits and learn front 3 shove.
I simply want to do lazerflips, it's one of the hardest tricks there is, and you don't see people doing them often.

Relatively new skater here. I've been trying to learn heelflips for about a month now (first flip trick I'm learning), and I can consistently flip the board and land my front foot on the front bolts. How do I land the other foot? Is it a commitment thing or a board/foot height thing?

>>881890
it's a commitment thing. try to ollie with your feet in the heelflip position. then, try to flick, but only once you've leveled out the board. don't kick out right away
