Klein is really kind of fucking up in a sense because people like the guy you quoted don't even know about him, really, despite the fact he should be their damn hero.

I understand why he wants to stick with what's made his brand as important a brand as basically any other for decades, yet there is a huge demographic of kids who just want a henreader or touhou board and he is missing out on them big time. They will never know the history behind HookUps or be down for the classic style anime art he does. And even though its rad he sticks with his roots and the historic art, he's leaving himself wide open for someone else to come along and just fuck his shit up. Luckily fakku doesn't really seem to be trying at all, but if they were...?

Obviously HookUps is way more than just 'the anime company' and that's fucking rad - the story and history of the company and Klein himself is ridiculous. But that doesn't change the fact that there is a growing market for just a basic "the anime company" and I hope Klein wakes up to this and manages to reach this demographic before some kook steals it from him - because its rightfully his no matter how you look at it

Also, any tips on how tight your board should be when you're just wanting to cruise/ollie and not do tricks yet?

I guess I just needed to hear it from someone else. Thank you anonbro

Anyone know how i could make a wooden diy ledge that folds/is split into 2 pieces? Making a solid one is pretty simple, but i can't think of a way of doing a compactly storeable one without making the grind surface uneven or sketchy. I'm planning to set it up at my uncles huge farm garage, but it needs to fit in my van as well (there's a tool cabinet inside the trunk so the space is smaller than normal). Any plans or just ideas welcome.

So, I found this for five bucks. I've always wanted the Video Days dvd, but I know it goes for up to fifty on eBay.

Should I sell? Trade for something? Or keep since I'll probably never find it cheap again?

>>1455443
What should I get, if I want to build up pretty much an arithmetic mean of a street skate and a cruiser? I'm thinking 8.25"-8.5" deck 56mm ~90A wheels. Basically for cruising around, but with the ability to do kickflips, shovits, 180s, but nothing too technical.

>>1457006
>early and burly meme

Jump higher. Put your front foot lower. Try riding faster before doing the ollie. goodluck senpai

Should I buy skateboarding made simple if I am a newbie

>>1458761

Agreed, would've been amazing to see in person. I also remember an interview with Jeremy where he says landing anything at all over the van was ridiculously difficult because you couldn't see the other side until it was too late

>>1459998

Until they release it. But I'm kinda leaning towards keeping it. Super stoked to find it. More than makes up for passing on that copy of Yeah Right I found before starting to skate.

>landing anything at all over the van was ridiculously difficult because you couldn't see the other side until it was too late

shit, I hadn't thought of that.
But I didn't say it because of the difficulty factor, it's just great.

Today I did my first flip trick on a bank.
It was a heelflip.
It was a good heelflip.

Losers today suck

Seriously, why don't societal dropouts today listen to Slayer, fucking skate and do crack in their basements?

All they do go on Twitter and talk about retarded shit like Pokemon, Love Live and Cosplay.

How to fuck do you do tricks in to a bank? I can ollie and 180's but can't do a single flip or shuvit trick in bank. I land leaning backwards no matter how much i lean on nose side.

>>1461531
maybe it has to do with how steep the bank is. You don't have to try tricks in the steepest bank in the beginning.

You need to slow down what you're doing. It has to happen in two steps
Pop and slide front foot to pocket, which will get the board under you and your body centered over it. _Then_ you flick. It will spin under you perfectly with your feet and shoulders over the bolts.

Do what we used to do back in the day and watch someone doing a perfect one in slow motion. With computers its even easier because you can literally step frame by frame. When you do you'll see the two stages

For starters, don't buy parts from Amazon. Try Skatewarehouse

36KB, 491x655px

8.7 inch wide welcome board, independent trucks, 60mm minilogo wheels. Primarily for skatepark skating.

Did I do good?

>>1468880

some people might give you funny looks but if its what you need to do then whatever

>>1468880
I've skated nearly every day at the skatepark in helmet, elbow pads, and wrist guards. Never had any looks or comments as far as I can tell. That said, knee pads are really more for vert skating.

I've been watching skateboarding vids on youtube the last couple of days (suffer from insomnia due to depression so I basically stay up all night arsing about until I pass out then have to wake up for work).

Anyway, might be a stupid question but I'm wanting to get a board that won't break the bank, never even touched one before but I'm 21.

I just wonder if it's even worth getting one because I live in a rural town in England and the paths aren't great, and it's really quite hilly, I'd be using it just to commute to the shops to get a sandwich and shit like that.

Will I be just picking it up and carrying it the 50% of the time that I'm going up an incline.

Also do boards wear out? Although I won't be doing any tricks because I can't afford a wrist fracture or broken ankle when I've got mouths to feed. What kind of maintenance/replacements do you need? Just bearings and wheels?

>>1469588
Also should I just buy a complete skateboard or individual parts using the pastebin?

I want to just get a blank board with no graphics because all the graphics I see are edgy teenage shit like BIOHAZARD, etc., although >>1469357
looks A E S T H E T I C as fuck.

>>1469317
Why not? Not the guy you replied to but i built a complete cheaper on amazon than i did on skatewarehouse and it used the same exact parts save for hardware and griptape. Granted it was only a saving of about 15 dollars but savings none the less.

126KB, 810x248px

>>1469602
if you buy a complete from skatewarehouse, you can get a $30 discount

>>1469691
How much should I be looking for a full board with decent hardware? I imagine hardware makes a big difference. Complete beginner, never touched one, but want to get decent hardware without breaking the bank because I might not get into it.

I bought a road bike last year and spent an extra couple of hundred on it to get a decent gear set because people have said if you get the most entry-level shit, it makes it a chore to ride and you won't want to do it, I imagine it's probably similar with decent bearings and wheels.

>>1469691
Just had a look at the skateboard builder, laggy as fuck, no way to sort by price, got a couple of components into it and decided to look for a completed one.

At least in the UK skatewarehouse store, there aren't any of the recommended brands, unless I'm blind.

>>1469721
if you're a beginner the items in that picture will suffice. don't spend too much. there's no 'entry-level' equipment, really

>>1469701
do you mean hardware as in the nuts and bolts that hold on the trucks to the deck, or are you talking about the bearings and wheels

>>1469781
Both.

Its good, filming is shit tho. Too shaky and bad angles/filmed from too far.

Sometimes when I take hippers I'll get this ball type thing in my hip that'll hurt like a total bitch if I massage my hip to the point where I touch it, and prevents me from bending my leg certain ways. Is there any way I could fix this quicker than just waiting? Im not sure if it's just inflammation or if it's scar tissue that needs to be broken up or something. It mostly hurts if I bend my leg into those butterfly stretches and try flexing my glutes.

>>1468880
Who cares. The less injury you take from slams the more you'll be able to skate. That tough guy mentality of walking off a slam doesn't work when your joints get to the point where they're so damaged they lock up or are slowed down from the friction caused by swelling/lost cartilage.

How long do your skate shoes usually last you? I've been going through mine every month or so to the point where the hole in the sole reaches the inner sole, or the side no longer exists.

>>1470908
Just placed an order for vans crockett mids for my main skate shoe. Anyone have any ideas of how to go about making a review and if its best to do video or written?

any northeast ohio skaters here? I have no friends who skate and I cant find anyone around me to skate. Nearly no parks where I live either...

>>1470958
Written with before and after (when you deem them unskateable) use photos. Describe board feel, insole impact reduction etc. People mostly care how durable the shoe is, and how does it feel in your feet, like is it a stiff shoe, or a super comfy flexible one.

>>1470893

to me, the main part of your skateboard are the trucks, everything else is just replaceable.
what I mean is that as you progress in skateboarding you'll try different board sizes, different kind of wheels and bearings, but the trucks and how tight or loose you use them, are the ones that will determine your style

Anyways, its just my opinion..

I'm trying to learn layback grinds, I've landed twice something like a laybacklipslide and it felt awsome!
what are you guys working on?
Also what's your opinion on skaterails?

I could probably make my stuff last longer if skated jessup instead of mob.

What do you guys think on independent stage 11 trucks? I just got some and they're on the way. No clue what thread to post in so I posted in the other one too.

>>1472882

>>1473005

Indys are the best , its what most people ride including plenty of pros. Once you know what to look for you can tell in photos even pros on other truck companies ride them. Stage 11 is better than stage 10 iirc they're mostly redesigned to fit the new independent replacement bushings they came out with. If you really want to know the difference in the stage 11 vs other stages the Indy site will tell you. I have an old pair of stage 7s I kept because I like them but its not like you can really tell the difference.

>>1472404
You should try front side 5-0 laybacks to tail, they're fun and you can grind a bit before going into the layback.
Rails are 10/10 for transition skating. I recommend getting pig rails personally, they don't add too much height like bones rails and don't protect your graphic as much but it's like always having a waxed board and grabs are easier. Also a pro tip is to set your rail up how you want it on your board, hand screw your screws in half way then take everything off, and then rescrew your screws in without the rail and then take them out and sand around the holes until it's flush with everything else instead of sticking up around the sides. Your rails will never come off unexpectedly and your wood won't split.

congrats man. It's so fucked how, even at the most entry level, skateboarding is so fuckign fun. I only started skating again last year and all my other hobbies are being majorly neglected. Literally just skating around the city and ollieng over potholes is more fun than taking 20 good pictures or playing some music perfectly.

I think it's all placebo when you are only upping .1 inch. People are different tho, when i went from 7.75 to 8.25 only difference i noticed was how much more room i had to land on. The board spun just as well, and weren't heavier in my opinion.

>>1473647
You're probably right. It does feel heavier than my previous deck, but that could be because it still has all the wood where the chips and holes were on my last one

I don't even skate and I love getting high and watching shit like King of the Road and especially the CKY movies. I'd start but I live in a rural area where there's nowhere to skate and I don't want to drive 45min to skate.

do not do this. Walmart boards are garbage that barely work. The trucks break and the wheels aren't made out of the right urethane. They're seriously worse than not having a board.

If you go to a skate shop and ask for a shop board it is usually only $30

Then you could get some used trucks+wheels of Craigslist or from someone at the park for 30 also

Those Walmart boards don't even have the right kind of grip, its like slippery

Its not really a brand its just the name given to generic dwindle decks that they sell at discount prices and sporting goods outlets due to Globe shoes brand recognition globally. The decks are the same as any other dwindle deck. The trucks and wheels are probably shite though.

I hate guys like you, you're the most boring cunts to skate with. Why don't you just say "if I don't learn an ollie in the first 20 minutes i'm not going to bother trying to learn."

I got a friend like you and he claims he just likes cruising around on his board, but anytime we suggest going somewhere he says he doesn't want to go because it's too far. He'll try to ollie once the entire sesh then sit on his phone and say nothing.

Die kook scum.

I mean honestly, yeah, it would. Clear grip really sucks. Even the best versions of it feel slippery compared to normal grip. Also the size of the "grains" in the grip are larger and its not a good thing. I assure you you will see what I mean as soon as you ride it for a bit. I'm not saying its terrible or it won't work but you honestly couldn't say clear grip is just as good as regular grip because its just not at all. It works but nowhere near as good.

I ride a deck with clear grip tape and it seems to be just as good as standard jessup. The grains are a bit bigger but it feels pretty much the same as black grip with smaller grains.

Unless you're pro and every little detail makes a difference, get the clear grip tape so you can see your stupid stickers through it just like i can see my stupid toy machine logo through mine.

any suggestions for longboards that would let me keep up with my gf on her bike (she's a casual rider so not too fast).

Big guy anon here from a whiole back, couldnt find a good double impact board, but it IS my birthday weekend so I decided to get myself a present. 8.5" Greyson Shark board, Thunder trunks (only had them in 8.25 but it shouldn't matter TOO much), Lucky ABEC 3 bearings and some other wheels (can't remember)

Super great to ride, huge step up from the 7.825 board I was riding and this feels SO much better. Still can't ollie but riding feels much better.

>>1477207
I'm both tall and a little fat, 6'4" and 230ish pounds

>>1477232
I'm 5'4" and 280 pounds. Do you mean you can't ollie because you can't/don't know how to or that you can't because the board will break?

I'm just a scrub is why. Board feels great

Ninja is definitely a kook ( whatever you think of him, wearing your youtube channel as a sticker on your cell phone makes you a kook) but the scooter guy is wrong. Skateboarding is harder than scooting and corporate sponsorship is not the be all end all.

i was a barista until just recently. i work in cyber security now. pretty entry level shit but its 40 hours a week. i live really really modestly and dont really have expenses beyond rent and food so i have tons of disposable income. that being said, i might buy a decorative deck once every couple of months and a new deck to ride every 6. i skate a lot but i'm pretty kind to my decks (dont leave em in the hot car my dudes!) so they tend to last a little while. i replace my trucks maybe once a year. when i rode 86b wheels i'd replace them every 2-3 months cause of the wear. i skate 99a now and i replace them probably every 6 months. theres a new park being poured in my area with big concrete bowls and shit so i've been trying to brush up on my tranny. injured my foot pretty badly hanging up on a frontside disaster, and finally healed, but just taking it slow for now.

Maybe depending on the durometer. 95-97d wheels are hard to slide, 99s will work, 100s are designed to slide and 101s are even better. Maybe get some 101s to learn with. Its not like doing it on a snowboard at all really because you have to really push into it hard with your entire body, your shoulder on down has to be a little bit behind your back foot and pushing that back foot forward. At first a few years ago they were hard for me to what I did was just learn to slide the board 180. Going slow. Once I could do that I would do it as I was riding down the street, just sliding 180 and 360 kind of like the magenta dudes do. Once I got good enough at that I was eventually able to learn to just do long powerslides while bombing hills and such, actually holding them sideways. But it took a lot of practice actually, I had to learn how they worked first and up until then they just wouldn't work for me.

Now that I'm good at them though and know how they work I can slide anybodies board and on any wheel durometer even cushy ones. Of course having a set of ground down hard wheels are the easiest but you just have to learn the technique and it will click for you and then you'll be doing it all the time because its so fun and youll master them from there

>>1479008

Thanks for the thorough response.

My wheels are 99s. Kinda broke atm, so i'll probably stick with them.

Slashing in powder if similar, or so a friend told me.

I can do a 180 while rolling, but i'm doing it with raising one truck. i'll practice keeping both on the ground.

Invest in some of these and learn to apply them properly, you will thank me later. You'll be amazed how well they work

I hate being a pussy who is afraid of human interaction, i have to go skate in the night or the morning, and even then it is pretty meh since i might have to be around people. Anyone else /hikimori/ here? I used to have friends who skated and it was so much fun to skate street spots, feels too awkward to do it alone so i no longer do it.

>>1481524
skating alone is scary and not fun
if you eat shit and hit your head, noone is around to call an ambulance
also, you're less apt to try new things and show off if there's noone who can see you

>>1481527
to each their own: I learn more if I am by myself, whilst skating in the park with people is more relaxing and letting go.

>>1481527
Neither of these bother me tho, i don't fear getting hurt, and i thrive to improve even when alone. I just miss skating with other people, and not having to worry about when the park will be less crowded/empty.
