>>But do soft cruiser wheels make it a smooth ride on shitty roads?

Totally. See pic related.

Tried OJ Keyframes and Bones ATF wheels, they're pretty good on rough terrain. The only thing is you can't really slide or do rotational tricks all that well (you will eat shit). Also, it took me a while to get used to the slight bounciness when landing or doing a running start.

>>1390798

>vert wheel

Jokes aside, It'd be nicer if more wheels came in the 90-97a range of hardness for a nice blend between a wheel for riding and one for tricks.

>>1390817

>>1390990

ollie, don't forget to ollie, the quality of the rotation is directly related to the quality of your ollie. Pop a fat one and you will make a beautiful backside 180.

Got super sun burned skating today. Fuck summer.

Also to the anon I linked a bubblegum crisis torrent. The video files don't come with subs but have the files in the download. If you need help merging them let me know.

>Got super sun burned skating today. Fuck summer.

Houston biganon here, I can't even skate outside here in the daytime, it's fucking suicide. The only option is nighttime but it's still humid as fuck, just not fun at all.

Also holy fuck how is it so easy for me to push mongo as opposed to regular? Trying to get used to it but I fall on my ass constantly.

God I hate the kids that says tobacco smells bad and weed is nice smelling. WTF are they on about. Nothing on you anon just a pet peeve cause both smell "bad"(I like tobacco and you like weed cause we smoke em)

>>1390356
Just wait until it completely heals. I fucked my ankle up and everytime it gets better I skate and fuck myself up for another week. Already like a month or so.

Finally bought a helmet today. Is it now safe to go burly?

>>1391476
the smell of weed smoke is MUCH less pungent than the smell of tobacco smoke, coming from someone who likes both smells. tobacco smoke sets in and can be smelled for a long while after it's smoked, the smell of weed smoke pretty much disappears after a couple hours

>>1391430
that was some fucking excellent shit
I can't believe I can appreciate street skating by now

>>1391841

Girly? I bought a helmet because I want to learn how to shred pools. Only have a long board but should be ok I think.

>>1391008
It's so damn hard to find perfectly symmetrical boards, I buy all my shit from the internet and the site I order from only lists how concave the deck is.
Bought a new one recently, the tail is a half centimeter taller than the nose, it doesn't look like much but the difference is really big, so annoying having to shuv like every other trick just to get the low side for tre flips and the tall one for ollies etc

>>1391019
False. The best way to bs 180 is to just do a bs revert with the smallest pop.

>>1391874
>implying longboards aren't girly lol
actually, I've never understood that thing about go early go burly, if you want to learn you just have to do what you want to. I think that its cooler to go when there are some people on the skatepark (not full) because they could teach you things and its less boring, if you care what someone who's learning (everyone always is) thinks about you while trying to learn, you are still 2 inmature

jesus is my helmet

>>1392035
your backsides must look like shit...
>>1391019 is totally right, when I do them i try to jump before I turn my shoulders, it makes a sick bs

>>1390772

>>1392082
>being a beginner who gets in peoples way is cool
no son, autistic memes aside. Don't do that shit. You'll be liable to not pickup on the lines and be oblivious to getting in others way. Ease into it and don't learn your super basic shit around others, unless they are friends or something

>>1392035
Disgusting

how do i ollie while riding? i keep wobbling out whenever i look for the foot positioning.

>>1392113
100% serious

do you have aspergers?

>>1392113
wtf man, are you retarded or what, how boring can it be to be always alone on a park, sweating and falling...
stop being autistic dude, if you want to learn you have to get out of your confort zone... I'm not from the US and maybe people can be different there but any time I see someone getting angry because someone with less skill is using the park I think:
why don't you fuckin buy/build you own fucking park faggot
parks are made by everyone taxes so everyone has the right to be there

>>1391828
GoPro or Iphone?

any good skate videos with drone footage?

>>1392173

You sound like a scooter mom, you moron. Everyone has the right to use roads, doesn't mean your retarded ass can get in traffics way

https://youtu.be/Gi3FSCwsayA i keep turning when i ollie why

>>1392241
when you are bent down to pop, your shoulders are rotated like 45 degrees

they rotate as you come up causing you to turn

>>1392245
thanks

>>1392221
>>1392221
pffft what makes you better than anyone to decide who can use it or not, I know its annoying but you have to share you spoiled fag
i bet you can't kickflip, cant grind , can't do shit, you merely adopted the mindset of youtube faggots

I keep landing my tre flips right on the nose, should I fling the board forward or try to jump backwards?

>>1392281
Dude are you seriously retarded and/or twelve?

>>1392285
man, being serious, I make the same question to you

>>1392296
If you're the guy I'm responding to, then you're a fucking retard who can't make a coherent point against what I've said. Instead resorting to petty "I bet you suck" type insults instead.

Like I said everyone has the right to use roads, doesn't mean your retarded ass can get in traffics way. Try countering that point

>>1392308
so that recent video of gonz skating in nyc roads is retarded?

>>1392071
wear gloves you pansy

>>1392311
Again you are completely missing the point. Gonz is an experienced skater, he knows what he is doing. Where as a beginner doesn't and should try to go when there are minimal people to figure things out without getting in others way when doing so. Otherwise they are very likely to kook it and roll directly in front of a common line at the park.

Like I said originally learn your super basic things by yourself or with a group of friends. Then ease your way into going to more crowded sessions, so you'll pick up on what others are doing and not get in their way. Bailing to avoid hurting beginners gets very tiresome, very quickly.

>>1392071
Either you're doing something utterly retarded to make it hurt, or you're a little bitch. Just holding your board doesn't hurt

>>1392083
This should be a graphic.
>>1392167
Tighten your trucks a little

>>1392113
I agree with this guy, if you're not comfortable on your board and can't ollie consistently, don't go to a park when it's crowded.

>>1392179
>if you want to learn you have to get out of your confort zone

that's true, but if you 're a beginner going whenever there are people shredding you 're constantly going to be out of your comfort zone and you might get disheartened. Either go early, that means when people aren't flooding the park and you feel comfortable if you MUST go to the park, or go burly, get out of your comfort zone and get familiar with slams.
To me, one should be improving within their individuality, i.e. their own rhythms and their own desire to get out of the comfort zone. Some people, or all, do want to experiment going out of their comfort zone, it's part of learning.
Thus, the skatepark etiquette: go early or go burly.

It's in this new-ish complex of offices and stuff. There is a museum of modern art amongst other stuff. The set is behind the Centre de Congres, whatever that is.

Any recommendations for trousers/pants/shorts for the summer? Something that keeps me cool on hot days but can hold up against as many scrapes as possible.

My old jeans are now frayed and ripped all over, past the point of passability and I really wanted to feel smart and get some milsurp shorts and go zookeeper mode but the online stores I find them on don't do them in my size.

I'm a waist size 28 so my options are pretty limited.

>>1393534
oh, I can find the shorts in the pic in a 28 but it's not reviewed too well

>>1390762
Get the fucking shoe review bullshit out of there. They're useless.

>>1393534
For shorts, I like the RVCA Americana Chino Shorts. They're breathable and stretch really well.
As for pants, I like Dickies slims and Volcom Chino's.
Try looking into those and tell me what ya think

>tfw making tangible progress

You sound like an idiot who is deliberately missing the point.

>also if you think it's fine to be there riding and practicing when people are there, you're a scooter mom
Thats pretty clearly, not my fucking point lad. You can be there, but you're not entitled to be getting in others way with your beginner bullshit and going "but this is a public park I'm allowed to be here" is full scooter mum bullshit. You're oblivious ass rolling directly in front of someones line risks them getting hurt, cause you were too much of an idiot to know better. Which is fine to not know, everyone starts somewhere. But like I'm saying learn with as minimal people around as you can to avoid being a shit cunt.

Also

I can't do any of these things yet and it's so frusterating just failing at these tricks while everyone else is having fun. Any advice?

>>1398474
the only advice you can be given is to not give up, start being aware of your center of balance, get comfortable crouching, learn how to fall and go burly

>>1398561

I'm on the same, hoping to go up to 8.5 since my feet are 14s. It's actually much more difficult than I thought to ride on a smaller board

>>1399839
>8.25
Yes, welcome to the master race
>>1400125
No, but I seen a few parts on Thrasher and it's really damn good

>>1400314
I used to enjoy 7.75 decks since it felt so easy to control, nowadays when i step on the board and start rolling to the skatepark it feels like i can barely stay on top of the board. And it feels impossible to get a good foot placement for tricks, due to the lack of room. Honestly i would go 8.5 if i had money to upgrade trucks from 139's.

>>1399636

I think below 50mm they become too susceptible to cracks to be able to ride

>>1400354
Agree, but on good flat surface they are just as good imo.

When skating down hill what is the best way to stop? When I put my foot down to stop my ankle hurts, and I don't want to tail slide as it will damage my deck. The most I can do is bail out once the board starts to speed wobble.

When you guys varial heel do you push your foot on the tail outward? Or is it more of a pressure flip type deal? Every time I try the board just kind of sticks up in the air and spins, I cant get the full rotation.

You need to learn to power slide. Start by winding up as much as you can and spinning your shoulders to slide 180. Practicing from there you'll be able to learn to just turn them 90 and truly powerslide to stop/slow but start with sliding 180 to figure it out first.

You can also hang your heel off the tail, and step into it like you were putting the tail down to stop, but just sliding your heel like a brake. You'll notice there are some pros who do this. Sliding on the heel rather than the tail so you don't scrape anything but the rubber of your sole

I enjoy this video very much

reminds me of keelan being insulted by DGKs 120k/yr and quitting to do Honey because he felt he was worth more... & that was before the incident . Top tier skaters these days are ams like Daan, and they're not even getting the big bucks. Times have changed yet these older dudes think they can still get the same amount

>>1403813

yes, so sick! if you are into Dime, lurknyc, etc you will love this. or if you are into san fran, east coast skating in general, or Japan you will love this (basically a lot of tight spots and shitty ground). it has some of the most insane hill bombs ever. lots of funny interactions with bystanders too. definitely has a gritty, anti-authority vibe as well. lots of graffiti clips, running from the cops, etc. most impressive thing is maybe the length of the video. lurknyc came out with that ~16 minute video, Dime's recent video was maybe 12-15 minutes (don't remember). This GX1000 was a solid 40 I think.

Finally started skating at age 20
I had a skate I assembled from 5 years ago<

Girl Eric kostn deck 7.5(bought the cheapest back then, still cost like 50€)
Destructo superlite trucks
the blue fire/flaming face wheels
black panther abec 3 bearings


One wheel axle nut came off after going down an accentuated ramp, scary shit and it was annoying since it ended with my session of skating

Have like 6 hours of skating so far under me, can ride normally in the skatepark, go down some small and average ramps and drop in small ramps(practing in them to move up gradually, shits scary)

I'm learning to ollie, pulled it off some times but the board ollies in front of me while I go back
then I landed on it some times but it didnt quite seem a ollie since I dint "kick it" properly, this is the hardest part to me since sliding the foot to the nose seems impossible, feels like my feet is glued
any tips?

also why are all boards 8 inches now? I swear back then I could find millions of 7.5 decks now its rare af
sorry for blogging or being new but I hadnt had quite some fun in a long time since I started skating

>>1406583

This shit I'll never get. In California a person on a skateboard is considered a pedestrian, yet a buncha towns like to enact sweeping bans on skateboards on the sidewalk. Wouldn't the state's law overwrite the town's law?

I buy 55mm wheels and buy new ones once they reach 52mm. I throw the old wheels in to bushes next to a street. I recycle biacht

Alright, my axle nut of one wheel flew somewhere and that tiny circle thing that came with the bearings(separator?) too.
Is that thing important?

also I guess acetone is good for cleaning bearings, now for lubbing what can I use outside bones speed cream(cant get it where I live)

>>1408726
I htink the correct name is "speed washer", the one that you put after the bearing and before the axle nut

>>1408726
i hear sewing machine oil is good, but i dont really know where to look for it

>>1408726

No its not important at all. Just make sure you don't tighten the nut too far. You want there to be like a millimeter of space so you can head the wheel clack back and forth if you shake it. You can get those spacers for free at a local hardware store if you show them one and just ask

>>1408745
will see if I can find that

>>1408763
I left a little space where I can see and feel the wheel a bite going from one side to the other, its minimal but its there and I hear the click when it hits the sides

I'm worried about the bearings though, theyre 5 years old but I rode it back then as much as I did this past 4 days.
They dont seem to make a noise and seem to roll ok(theyre shortys black panther abec 3) and still leave my fingers with oil if I touch them, they dont seem dirty outside some tiny grains

Leaving the EU is only a (Minor) economic issue for sellers. Buyers have more power than you think.

>wanting to pay extortionate prices for EU brands
>extortionate
Even in an unlikely worst case scenario where the EU puts in retarded tariffs (Which they do anyway to non eu countries and it hasn't forced them to accept any "extortionate" deals with huge prices or the removal of sovereignty) specifically on the UK you can just buy through a third party online seller that has it cheaper due to the lack of tariffs everywhere else in the world.

If the UK has a demand for EU skate products the EU will not be able to prevent them from selling their products in the UK with tariffs as both ends of the trade want to gain value.

The seller values the money more than the product and the buyer values the product more than the money. If the EU tries to raise tariffs to spite the UK all it would be doing is harming it's own economy as the seller would not be able to charge enough money to make a happy trade that the seller is WILLING to pay for. Again if we can't buy directly we can buy through a proxy that will not have these supposedly "extortionate deals" imposed upon them.

I would argue being in the EU is already extortionate. Are you really willing to let someone else run your country just to trade with them?

Reminder that the EU's main tariff is it's import tariff for members which is much more prohibitive than it's "export tariff" that the remain campaigners seem to go on about, so being in the EU makes the US skate companies more expensive as anyone in the UK can clearly see on the price tags in their skate store.

>wanting to pay for a visa to go skate MACBA
If it's harming tourism (It would) the visa price should go down to almost nothing especially in Spain due to their terrible economy and unemployment at the moment. There may be a tiny fee for administration costs but again as a buyer they have to work around you.

>>1409032

I'm starting to wonder if a 7.5 deck is too small for me, I'm around 177cm/5'10 and my feet is 41-42 in yuro and american is like 8.5-9
Kinda have to have half my feet off the board when trying to ollie
Tried an 8 and I feel more stable but seemed harder to pop and hella weird

>>1409089
cool video

>>1409100
I went from 7.8 to 8.25 and it was the best decision in my life. Riding feels so much more fun and felt more stable. I didnt even notice any difference in terms of tricks, if anything they got easier due to more room on the board. Since it were your friends board it might have more to do with different trucks which are more loose or tight.

>>1409100
My feet are a size 9 and I ride a 8.5
Find a size that comfortable for you, have you gave 7.75 a try?

His trucks were more tightened and heavier than mine

>>1409146
I'm still in the learning process but I was thinking of getting a 7.75 deck after I at least learn how to ollie properly and ollie stairs and grinds
I built my skate like 5 years ago and back then I believe 8 and bigger werent used for tricks and stuff, 7.5 was the to go size. At least it was what I got after researching

>>1409214
In my opinion just go for 8-8.5 straight up if you want a fatter deck. 7.5 to 7.75 won't make much of a difference in terms of how much space your feet have on the board. Tricks aren't even more difficult on larger boards unless you go over 9, which is when it starts to get actually enough heavy/bulky to notice. Just my 2cnt.

ahh That makes sense, ollies would toast em quick if not.
>>1409448
the difference is in the insole, bit thicker and absorbs impact way better. I just bought some old skool pro's I like em so far.

Skate whatever you like

Commit

I went through the same problem when I was learning ollies. You just really gotta commit and jump and the board will stick to your feet.

>>1409430
I skated right through my canvas slip-ons but I really like the feel so im goin pro for sure

>>1409474
No

Element goes around after some demos and usually cuts old decks into cruisers. They have been doing this for a year and a half now.

Make a new thread

Landed a bs180 today, sloppy but I'll get better. I want to be able to float it

>>1409223

I somewhat agree with this but would just add that truck width makes a mmuuuuuccchhhhh bigger impact on the feel of the board than deck size, overall. The difference between 139, 149, and 159 is far more noticeable than changes in the size of the deck attached to them

If you're at a park with perfect ground, sure.

Anywhere else they're practically unrideable

I don't know if anyone would remember me but I'm the kid with hemophilia. I picked up the board again and I'm working on kick flips just for fun. I have no aspirations to be pro or even good at all but I feel like landing one would be amazing. My issue is I've been practicing them holding on to something. Like a rail. I'm too scared to commit without a safety net because if I fall wrong it could be a big problem, ie trips down to the center to get infusions 2 or 3 times a week for a month. Does anyone else hold on to shit practicing tricks? Is it really detrimental?

I remember you. Glad you're still skating despite that heightened risk.

I've never practiced while holding onto anything, so I can't say whether or not it'd be detrimental to landing tricks stationary, but I do know that practicing tricks stationary can hinder the rate of you learning to do them while moving.

Your post reminded me of these 2 guys not because of their disability but because it's the only board-flipping-while-holding-on-to-something I could think of, in this case tho its crutches

I think I'll have to change from 8 to 8.5. Eight somehow feels small-ish. Have a big ass foot. About 10.5.

>>1409159
there was none.

>>1409894
I remember you too.

So I want to start skating again, but I'm poor as hell. Is going to a local pawnshop a good idea?

>>1409089
fucking nice

is that you?

also, please remain in the EU.

>>1410409
No, save up some cash and get a decent setup or a prebuilt

>>1410502
but I want to start skating right here right now, not wait another fucking month for cash
also what's bad about a good used board?

>>1410506
Just make sure the tail is not thin as paper, and that the deck doesn't have any cracks, or the sides have gaps between the glued part. Also check that the wheels actually spin, it's not any fun with shitty bearings as you practically will not move at all. If you don't have enough money for a new setup, an used one will do just fine.

>>1410560
>the sides have gaps between the glued part
I'm not sure what you mean

serious problem guys, I can't kickflip. I have been skating for 3 years and have gotten almost every trick in the bag. I can do lazers, tre flips, varial heels, hardflips and even backside flips. BUT I CANT DO A NORMAL KICKFLIP. I have the rotation down perfectly, but I chicken foot my front foot every damn time and just gave up and moved on, but now I just really want to be able to fucking do it in a game of skate. Any good ways to break muscle memory like that?

>>1410577
He means delamination, deck consists from 7 plys of maple glued together, when they start losing the glue they kind of fall apart and get gaps inbetween the layers. This makes the board feel soggy and it will not last that long.
