Why do you fags care so much about what people dress like.

I could tell you fags I wear a tuxedo while I skate and you'll be like "hurrrr so and so did that 10 years ago bro ur not that guy!!! stop posing like u skate bro u cant sk8 as hard as me i dont even wear skate brands cuz im not poser!"

Quit acting like it's a crime that someone wears a brand of clothes that most skaters wear.

Tre bombs are easy, kids who don't even know how to Ollie can do them.
It makes no sense.
>>
>>1292691
People like to dress like their favorite skaters and right now the FA Skate Fucks are the biggest influence for the at the moment. The style diverges from the past trends of baggy cargo pants of the early 2000s or the skin tight Corey Duffel (fuck that guy by the way) denim from 2006-10. When I went to NY I saw that this trend actual gets out of skate brands and into brands like Polo and Lacoste, and I think that's what scares some people. And then again some people look at you strange because you came to the park or the spot not looking like a bum for once.

But I really don't care. I'm going through a late career Koston phase so fuck it.

That's one of the reasons but I'm not holding that against him since I never really liked him enough to care. But if he's always been on Osiris then he's a lost cause to shoe sponsors like Pat Duffy.

So I notice a few arguments about who did the harder trick, Tommy's fs flip or Joslin's Bigspin.
What do you guys think? I think the fs flip is ganrlier and bit more dangerous.
https://youtu.be/-1Z80uuOK8M

>>1293181
Both were great but Tommy's was almost picture perfect.
But the important thing is that Shane died, damn bogan.

I really liked that italian kid in the prelims. Sky was cool too but not enough discipline to carry him through multiple runs. Kiko is too little and too much of a local to be predicting things like that. Cory's noseblunt was based.
>>
>>1292669
You have to make an example out of one of them. Pick the most alpha one you can find and snake them constantly while vibing them out with your stares.
>>
>>1293181
Wellllllll....Joslin had to lizardking his firecracker ass tricks so definitely harder. Does that mean he is a better skater than Gunz? Fuck no. Tommy actually clears his gaps like a man. He was born in the streets, raised by them. Joslin only befriended them.
>>
>>1293698
>Kiko is too little and too much of a local to be predicting things like that

>>1293583
Xenu showed him the ways
>>
>>1293181

I think they're equal in terms of skill since they're both tricks that carry well over big stuff if it had been a fs bigspin I'd say that's harder than fs flip but I have to go with t.gunzz because a fs flip down something that gigantic is just the classic finisher.
>>
>>1293733
Wasn't Joslin pretty much raised in the Berrics?
>>
>>1293413
I am from SD and I love sk8mafia, but I really dont care for how they distribute their footy. For such an established company they could do so much better at currating/releasing their parts.

So is there an unspoken "no yelling/cheering for 5 seconds after a trick is landed" for skate videos?
Check out any massive trick, they always wait about 3 seconds into the roll away before they get hyped. Is it for editing purposes?
>>

>>
>>1293941
>Is it for editing purposes?
Pretty much
>>
>>1293941

Yea that started a few years ago.. I guess its so that if they want to edit it later to seem like the guy was cool as a cucumber not givin any fuqqs ala FA/Supreme frowny-face bois when rolling away they can still do so, rather than it being 'spoiled' by showing any/joy excitement
>>
these east coast hesh kids make me so happy
i'm just an old guy who skates santa cruz decks with rails but for as long as I can remember my park has been ghetto as fuck (its in a poor city), always drug dealing and the same black kids from the shadiest skate shop doing fakie 420 flips and backing DGK

the hesh kids have done such a good job at pissing them off, they just roll up to the park or spot, start cuffing their dickies, start snaking their friends as jokes while screaming and doing the same no comply variations which pisses off the ghetto kids so much
>>
>>1293956
It started waaay before the Supreme comeback. Watch the Stay Gold b sides. Not everyone is always hyped on landing something that should've been done with half an hour ago

How do you get tricks "on lock"? Do you TAKE time to practice that one trick every day until you can do it consistently? Or do you learn other stuff and practice it every now then during skate sessions? Which produces the fastest way to get a trick down?

Didnt mean to capitalize "take"

>>1294068
Do them every single day until your hair falls out.

Just switched from a longboard to a skateboard this April b/c fuck being a poser.

In some interview I remember him saying he was just trying to be a dumb edgy kid. You know like /b/ type shit posting in verbal form.

I've been going back to the park daily with a few exceptions. I'm learning a new trick just about every day, and I've never felt better since I started going.

Some songs if you lads are planning on making skate vidyas soon. And if you guys got videos of yourselves post em up, I wanna see you guys riding. Also suggest me good editing software for skate videos, I want to get into the editing and film game.

That doesn't counter my point though, I think you misread what I said friendo :^)
>>
>>1296024
sucks skating in the UK where even if you can ollie up and down stuff you have to get off your board and walk anyway because the pavements are so crusty.
>>
>>1294449
I picked up a longboard because in my younger days I was a fuckin' wash out loser and I wanted an excuse to "ride" without needing to practice at all

picked up skating just this year and it's so much more fun

I can almost ollie consistently

speaking of which how long did it take you all to learn how to ollie consistently? I've literally only been at it a week so I'm just curious

Got a buddy who only does ollies standing still and 180's. He says he doesn't understand flip tricks and that they're too hard to learn.

Try pushing these guys to try new tricks or even dropping off stuff and they're too scared to fall. Sucks man, wish I had some buds I could have fun with.
>>
>>1299642
What are you talking about? I can go skate alone and have more fun than with friends, same applies for skating with beginners who don't even want to learn. It's all about your mentality

Marc Johnson is no longerr on Chocolate.

Thoughts?
>>
>>1299523
I learnt when I was like 11 or 12. It probably took me a few years but I honestly can't remember. I stopped skating soon after but when I started again at 21 I could still ollie consistently. I guess it's like riding a bike.
>>
>>1299817
Yeah I can imagine it's pretty shitty there too. In all honestly I much prefer crusty skateboarding from the east coast and europe. Skating just gets so much more rad when street spots don't look like they could belong in parks (cough cough west coast cough). downside is that you can't use a skateboard with 48mm wheels as transport in the majority of places.

>I’ve invested a huge part of my time, my effort and my heart and soul into Lakai. Because Skateboarders own it, skateboarders run it, and skateboarders design the shoes ... It’s a partnership all the way around ... Lakai didn’t have to ‘buy my endorsement’ or ‘purchase my support’. I supported those people involved with Lakai long before I ever joined the team ... I’ve gone on tour with them and watched them stress out while filming. I’ve watched them go through the same shit I go through. I’ve shared Motel 6 rooms with them, ate Bojangle’s with them, given them grip tape and bolts and wheels and bearings and shoelaces and socks while we’re stuck in a town 3 hours away from anywhere remotely considered civilized, filming our hearts out for what we love. They supported me through a very rough period of active alcoholism, and hung onto me after countless episodes of assholishness and wild, shameful behavior. I ride for a shoe company created by people who know what I’m going through and go through what I’m going through. That’s what I support

This was kinda predictable. Zero is in decline and Nick is hanging out with the QS crew a little to much.

>>1300584
I back Carroll's decision 80%. Not texting MJ is bad but I always thought of Crailtap as a family and betraying your family is fucked up. Everyone who has left earlier has left under good terms with Mike and Rickk except MJ which I'm really surprised.

How do I get into skating again if I'm a grown ass 22 year old man? I weigh 175 at 5'7, I lift and used to play football but injured my shoulder and might never play again.

I used to skate from 13 to 15 but I quit because of football, I kinda miss skating. Also got no friends that skate, and again, I'm a grown ass man.

No. That's just plain wrong. read the interview.
>>
>>1301386
I did. Did you? Carrol himself admits they had to downgrade his pay and that it was him that told him he would understand if he left for another brand, one that could pay better.

The whole issue is on the timing of the announcement. Not on MJ's departure.
>>
MJ has been my favorite skater since Yeah Right!
couldnt care less about him leaving lakai because their shoes dont last a month.
sucks that he's off chocolate though I just want him to get another quality hardgoods sponsor. Birdhouse? Sk8mafia? Baker? $lave? Deathwish? Almost? Mystery!?

I finally got over my fear of dropping in on vertical ramps. But I don't really know what to do when I get to the other side. I drop in and less than a second later I'm already on the other side about to rock to fakie or just send my board into space. What is some shit I should learn to be able to flow on the vertical ramp like I've seen some other dudes doing?

If I were you, I 'd roll back from the rock 'n' roll and try to reach the other coping. If I couldn't do anything else, I 'd rock and roll there too. Infinitely. Or go fakie tailstall and drop in again and rock to fakie again.

>>1302159
You need more practice. That what sucks about learning how to ollie, consistency.
>>
>>1302123
You didn't miss much. Some people had decent parts, but some were so short. Also those montages they stuck in were sooooooo soulless. Furter, Ive realized with a company this corporate that they dont have the freedom to play around with any sort of fun theme. Away Days...come on...so its a traveling theme? They didnt even play to that. I'm not saying every video needs to have a cartoon or a puppet to theme it, but the film felt shallow because of adidas being too big/safe to go with any artistic theme. I mean shit they're adidas. They should have had that "weve been 3stripes old school for days" steez, but instead it was a cold video of disparate parts. Reminded me that the bigger/more diverse your team becomes, the more you have to cater to every demographic on the planet...and when you try to please everyone, no one is happy.
>>
>>1301930

is the cause of 'core' brands trimming budgets because of 'corporate' getting into the skateboarding game or is there something more to it, much like daewon's explanation? and i don't understand people calling them sellouts or whatever, these dudes want to keep skating as their career. regular people do it too when they're unhappy with their current desk job.

Yo, looking to get back in to skating. Buddy wants to start for the first time.

RS have some reasonably-priced Enjoi completes with Royal trucks, reckon it's worth it? I think I could shove some new bearings in there (wtf are enjoi 'fast' bearings anyway...) and I'd be good to go.

This oneis the better of the 2, also the bearings are fine. But these boards are kinda skinny, why not start on a 8.0?

Oh yeah, friend was looking at this deck:

http://www.blacksheepstore.co.uk/blind-chicken-waffles-factory-complete-yellow-blue-7-625.html

thing is, it's probs too thin for a guy that's never really skated before, and I don't rate much about the board
>>
>>1302509
You can learn with any board width, it's going to be just as hard for a beginner on a 7.6 than with 8.5. You will adjust pretty fast anyways.

lol.... so marc 'has all these ideas' that lakai 'just cant keep up with' & were supposed to believe he actually feels that a literal megacorporation like adidas is going to be MORE receptive to the feedback of some random fucking dude on ONE of their dozens of professional athlete sponsorship squads? Yeeeaaaa... ok... this is the same company that just puts put shit copies of their soccer shoes with a flat sole and calls it a day, and killed off the Ronan even though that was the only good shoe they ever made.

just say you did it for a paycheck, no one gives a fuck.

he spent his whole epicly laterd talking about how he 'did everything' at enjoi, barely mentioned chocolate at all, and now were supposed to believe that second company 'couldnt keep up' with him? as opposed to he just wanted a free ride for awhile? its fucking obvious. I wonder if Jerry will take his side or not. I hope not he seems like a pompous dick, enjoi got better after he left, I realize its not the same as it was in tiltmode days but you can't deny they're bigger and better now.

Zero hasn't added any new blood in a minute and has a dated persona. Big drops and rails can now be done by any nigga with the balls to get it (Ishod) and doesn't require an ACDC track to skate to. They have a good flow squad, Frankie Villiani is sick and would be a great addition turn am.

The fact that Geoff made it as far as he did is amazing. I would really like French Fred or someone to make a video of that time in flip the sorry years and everything that happened

Bastien and Rodrigo never stopped killing it though, which is cool. They're lowkey two of the best guys to ever ride a board and kept their skill level sky high to this day.

Same with tom, I mean, he's been around since like 1990 so the skills he still has are really impressive , some kids today don't get it or don't like him which I guess I can understand, his outfits and style seem goofy to them I guess but I think it's sick he hasn't stopped skating and is still decent & unique

Yes. This.

I think Jaime gets a bad rap because of the contrast in personalities between him and his team. He dosen't necessarily recruit skaters based on likeability but gnar factor, so in the end youre going to get some crazy fringe characters having to deal with a psycho-driven boss. Shits gotta hit the fan at some point.

If it wasn't for their ridiculous prices, I'd buy that for sure and I hate supreme.

If someone can skate good and enjoys riding who gives a shit what they wear? You act like skateboarding is an exclusive club and you have to wear a uniform. You're not a fucking poser because you wear ralph lauren. You're a poser if you tell people you love riding and brag about how good you are when you can barely moving ollie.

I can only assume you're in highschool or immature as fuck based off the logic that you have to dress a certain way to be accepted amongst a group or "cool." Literally suicide.

>Find my old board
>Its a blank deck with wooden krux with stupid stickers all over it and is waterlogged

Fuck man, trip down nostalgia lane. Anyways, I haven't ridden it since I was 13, I'm 21 now and sorta want to get back into it. Heading out to buy some new wheels and a board. Tomorrow I relearn to ollie and kickflip.

Why get into longboarding when the superior skateboard is right there and more affordable?
>>
go early or get raped :^)
>>
>>1302572
Waiting for the Walmart and McDonald's collab.
>>
>>1303792
because I hurt myself too much when I skateboard.
and longboarding is more chill for me, found a few spots where I go hiking/walking, that would be pretty cool for longboarding.
I like my alone time, I think longboarding would be better because I can just drive somewhere and go around for 2 hours and not get disturbed.
I have my old skateboard which I could use, but id rather buy a longboard,
>>
>>1303784
Don't know shit about longboarding, but I see Sector 9 as a popular brand.
>>
>>1303802
Build an old school cruiser deck. Just don't buy a dongboard.
>>
>>1303804
cheers, ill have a look into them.

>>1303806
whats the difference?

I plan to just skate down long hills, and ride around in isolated areas and shit, just somthing for me to do to chill out and get some exercise, would a skateboard be able to do this? or do I get a longboard or cruiser?
>>
>was about to go skate
>it started raining

fuck
>>
>>1303810
Cruiser, that way if you actually wanted to skate you could technically learn tricks still. Just get some bigger soft wheels.

Cruiser is still a skateboard, but wider and different old school shape.

A long board is longer and usually as skinny as an average board but has no curve in the middle.
>>
>>1303814
Know that feel, been raining on and off all week here. First day I can actually skate this week. I wanna learn some new tricks but don't know what.
>>
>>1303611
Try not let it affect you, Dill ;^)

Well they look more like this now.

Went for that ride today. Holy shit it felt amazing. I haven't lost my ability to cruise at all. My bitch calves took a beating.

But, I really fucking suck. Couldnt really get an ollie down and the ones i did were sloppy as fuck. Guess its basically ground up for me.
>>
>>1303991
If u had stuff down before, it's gonna be super fast to pick them up again. First time i went skating after 2 years, i could barely ollie. 2 sessions later i could already do flips fine. Muscle memory rocks.

do you think pros ever miss backside 180s?

Like not landing the trick? Because Heath can bs 180 anything in his path

yes

I'm sure some of them do

>>1303918
I've got a couple spots out by where I work

>>1304101
you are comfortable skating at your work? sounds strange.

>>1304100
>some of them

not good enough, brb seppuku
>>
>>1303784
Get an 8.25 Baker board with Indy 139's and some bones bearings. Go bones bushings and spitfire wheels. also lose any helmets or slide gloves. Wear Vans sk8-his.
>>
>>1303991
Board has no wear. Are you sure you used to skate or did you just own a board for 15 hears after giving up?
>>
>>1304122
Thats my new one. Bought it this morning with some new hardware. The board was the only thing that didn't really 'fuction' well enough. The one with the adio sticker in the backs my old board which is about ready to fall apart.
>>
>>1304112
literally me besides the vans
>>
>>1304134
Okay good. now go fuck some shit up skate rat.
>>
Anyone skate the Crockett Pro's? Gonna need a new shoe soon
>>
>>1304108
Not at my work, but between 5 and 40 minutes away from it depending on where I feel like going
>>
STF's or formula fours? Have always had bones, but tempted to try spitfires.
>>
HOLY SHIT

You know what i've just realised?

[spoiler]You can use old siemens/nokia phone with buttons and monochrome screen.[/spoiler]

They're smaller than modern ones and you can keep them in your pocket all the time.
>>
>>1304476
if you like bones there's no reason to switch but if you feel like trying something new then formula fours are great
>>
>>1304112

& dont forget to take your bottom washer off your indys if using them with bones bushings

>>1304324

they fit different than other vans so make sure to get the right size go to the vans store and let them size you for them

>>1304476

formula four for sure
>>
>>1304476
try em out. its worth at least knowing if youre missing anything. if you dont like them they are still good enough for skating until you can get some new bones. there is a reason f4s and stfs are the standard street wheels.
>>
Someone make a proper thread
>>
>>1304487
skating with an iphone sounds like hell.
>>
>>1304476
Riding spitfires now, F4, I've tried bones stf before. Honestly, it's all preference, I think my bones slid easier, with less ease, but my F4 have yet to get any flatspots or anything. Also, maybe it's just me, but I feel my F4 have been lasting longer, they aren't shaving down in size as fast as my bones did. That could just be me though.
