So I'm learning how to ollie(while grabbing something so I can balance and jump)

And I think i'm nearly doing it but the thing is he doesnt 'jump' high enough i think

I do the pop thingy and jump and open my legs but it ends up going so fast it feels like I barely did a ollie and more like just popped

What am I doing wrong? Jumping too low? My pop is weak? My leg isnt sliding correctly? sorry if my english is bad

>>1495574
Do the pop bigger, like your literally jumping on your pop foot. Also make sure you're sliding your foot on the board in an upward direction to even it out. Also I use to do drugs. I still do drugs, but I use to too.

Post skateboarding or imma cut you cuqqboi.

Sup, guys. I skateboarded a lot when I was in highschool and elementary school. Haven't done it for +10 years.
But recently, having moved in with a buddy who skates a lot I'm seriously considering buying a new board.

The boards I skated back in the day were Chocolate, Darkstar and Blind.
have no idea what's good or considered the Gold Standard today. Would love some help picking out some stuff or better understanding what I need to consider when buying parts.
I'd ask my bud but he's a long boarder and I'm not terribly interested in getting one of those.
thanks in advance.

>>1501384
Good filming is a steady hand with a good eye for angles. Patience can also make or break a filmer.

>>1501378
I put the sticker on there because I get a lot of free rock star stickers from my work.

Currently sitting on a foot injury (back of the heel bruise), and it's agony to not skate.

I recently picked it back up after, like it seems most of you cunts in here, 8-10 years of not skating. Those skate days were the best though. There was a great vert park only half a mile away from my street that I went to almost everyday I remember.
Anyways go out and skate bros!!

>>1500115
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCrhf-pyX_g
Reading instructions wouldn't help at all.
Start practicing, and if you fuck up your board, your board dies a noble death.
It'll give you an excuse to get a good one.

But why would you want to?

>>1502272
Why not?

Should I start going into switch or nollie first?

I've been trying to decide since I'm progressing with a regular stance, but haven't learned many tricks switch or nollie.

>>1502390
which ever's more comfortable, but i think skating switch would be cool because then nollie would be like 'switch fakie'

>>1502390
i found flip tricks easier nollie

>>1502390
Nollie is always a good place to start, and then switch. After you learn some a couple nollie tricks then move on to switch tricks, remember to use the nose to pop for all switch and nollie tricks.

Should I take the time to go from pushing mongo to regular? I'm a beginner just learning how to ollie.

>>1503178
yes. don't be that kid who pushes mongo. besides it's just extremely inefficient and you would be much better off learning how to push regular

>>1503158
the point if that you are literally autistic if you take the time to flip it around when there is literally no difference

i've been seriously skating for about a month now, i can raise the board but i can't get a good ollie
i just can't bring my front foot up and forward to level out the board
it's fucking frustrating lads

but back to the park i go, i wanna be good before i get old
i don't wanna be that overaged guy at the park who's trying to learn skate
(i'm 22 now so it's getting late)
not that there's anything wrong with being old learning to skate
but it's just a bit uncomfortable being that person
not to the people at the park they probably don't mind
but the people who i know who don't skate would probably think different of me
like "why don't you have another hobby, why don't you buy a bicycle?"
or "gee i wish i could learn something like that but i have a job that i need to go to"
anyway this was a pretty convoluted way of saying i'm going burly but i'm not going early fuck that i'm an old man

So, you know, don't be me. Just do it.

there's a front and a back?

Anyone here have experience with pain in the ball of their (pushing) foot? Feels kind of similar to a heel bruise but the pain is worse imo, almost feel it in the bone.

I've just been skating a lot more recently, and a lot further, just cruising around campus every day, so I know my body is just adjusting.. but any advice on how to deal/recover from this? Should I just wait it off? Only been ~2 full days now.

Just fucking bums me out when I can't skate b/c of a skate related injury

I feel like the only one who's not new to skating.

>>1504291
what you need to understand is that most people who dont suck are usually skating instead of posting

why the fuck are backside 180s so hard? I can do them fs perfectly but when I try bs my body turns but the board doesn't and the board usually shoots off behind me. I try to shift my weight back more but then I feel off balance and I can't even get the board off the ground. I know I just need to practice them more but does anyone have any tips?

>>1501379
post it dude

>>1503339
hey man, im 22 too and i bought my first real board in january and can ollie and sorta do slappys. just do it man, it helps if you got someone else to skate with you that way it's more fun

>>1504431
hey man i fucking hate 180s and suck ass at them but mainly because im uncomfortable fakie/switch still but practicing bs powerslides definitely helps with learning 180 motion and then you just gotta throw in the ollie

>>1504634
thanks. i might try this switch since i'm having trouble with switch back 180s

how can i fuck with big stuff like 10 stairs upwards when all my shitty town has is a 5 stair shitty spot, and a 4 stair in the skatepark

reminder that most of the repeated questions are from the wwe troll.

I push mongo and none of you can stop me.

>>1504431
Learn how to do bs reverts. You'll notice that your weight is perfectly ventures above the board when doing the revert. Your back is straight and you're not leaning back or forward. This is the exact same form that is needed for a bs 180. Introduce a pop to your reverts. A really small one at first. Your tail shouldn't even really leave the ground. Practise these over and over until you can do the 9/10 times. Thendo the exact same thing but pop harder and higher. Eventually you'll have effortless and steezey bs 180s like me and the bs 180 will become your favourite trick like me.

90% of people in this thread couldnt do it. If you watch parts regularly you should know that you have to assess your own skating and not someone elses. Trying to skate like Joslin will not get you better, itll just get you hurt. Progress from where you are, just look at yourself and steadily improve. Fuck the haters, clap when a kid lands his 50th try at a kickflip, and, last but not least, stop posting and go out and shred!

The metal/painted part ends after the storm drain.

You think with enough speed I could clear past the dry concrete section? The area before is covered in loose pebbles from a driveway so I could come back with a broom. There's still a crossing though so the angle would be pretty tight.

I was coming back from an errand and saw that spot covered in loose pebbles from someone's driveway. It took me long enough to clear that small area to try it out and if I come back I'll bring a brush or something to clear the preceding area as I have to weave around some tactile paving.

>>1513799
I'll try to get out tomorrow and clear it. Thanks for the motivation.

iktf, sprained ankle, swollen and painful

Learning to skate again at 21 is demoralising af

Two weeks ago i've fucked the nail on my toe (trying to learn how to tre flip), it bleeds all the time and won't heal.
I've tried skating after a week and realised i've lost my kickflips and can't ollie anything besides flatground.
I also can't skate tranny at all, i can't grind or slide anything, i can't even carve bowls/pools.
I feel like quitting.

How long did it take you guys to land your first ollie while moving consistantly? I know the answer is basically keep practicing and itll happen, but just a timeline of how often you practiced, because holy shit it's near impossible to skate here without nearly dying of heatstroke. I managed to land twice moving maybe in the 20 minutes I was out there, but the other times was just filled with defeat and exhaustion.

note that I'm not giving up, it's just I don't know if I'm making real progress or not. I can land them stationary though, most of the time

Also wheel bites a bitch but I feel if I make my trucks any tighter then itll be really hard to skate.

>>1514572
I'm starting at 26. Don't focus on improving fast as fuck like the young kids do, just enjoy some hills and get comfortable and keep at it.

>>1515042
I got it on my first day back skating after 8 or so years never being really that good. Ollieing up curbs took me about 2 weeks to grow the balls to do that and im almost 25.

Are you in vegas too?

>>1516041
I'm in houston, but almost the same story but humid as fuck. I have the motion down I think but its less the motion and getting it started then the midway of When I'm in the air and how I should land. I also need to pop correctly because my tail isn't hitting the ground each time, so it feels...off.

>>1515714
>like the young kids do

see, that's another generalisation. Not everybody learns the same way. Teenagers just have more time. The rest is bullshit. Did you see the title of the thread bro? don't fucking care. stop caring. Just do.

>>1516122
aww, I was hoping i'd have another person to join my skate crew, regardless, once you're in the air, just land with your board and shoulders in line with your direction of movement. also, don't forget to land with your knees slightly bent to absorb the shock and roll away.

Got back into it in my 20s, after only learning how to ride. 3 months after starting back up, I landed a few ollies while moving. Then I lost them for a month or two.

At this point I sorta just go with the flow. I admittedly haven't skated much at all since summer started, it just gets annoying coming inside sweaty after skating alone for less than half an hour.

Pussy guaranteed or internet back

I skated a while back and I'm thinking of getting back into it again. I'm thinking of trying longboarding this time around since I'd be using it more to cruise around than to really do tricks. I want to build my own but I don't know shit about what longboard brands are good. Should I just pick up a complete and not bother? Any advice?

Haven't watched KOTR 2015 yet, spoil me a bit before I decide whether or not to watch

Honestly learning to skate is easier than when you were a child, at least that's what me and my friends have noticed. Obviously you have probably developed a little bit of a fear for injury, especially if you have a job that you have to be physically well for. Once you remaster the basics again things get easier, tricks make much more sense than when you were a child (and the web is full of guides for tricks as well) and are easier to execute. You might not want to set your goals too high tho, might as well be happy and just have fun, and see where it gets you. Keep skating anon.

>>1513777
you have to have more weight on your tail if you want to go over an uneven spot with that kind of speed. if you go faster, and wax it you will just ram through it.

>>1521083
Ben, Blake, and Jeremy are there. Also Cory Kennedy makes another cameo

>>1520708
my right leg is also 'stronger'. when i started skating i thought that it should be in front so that i can easily kick out for flip tricks and also because of the emphasis on the slide for ollies. i guess some people focus on the pop more, so they want a strong back foot

>>1521588
Wrong

>>1515042
Never could do it decently as a kid, picked up skateboarding at 23 and could do ollies moving almost as high and confident as standing by the third day. Basically I just needed to lose the fear of landing while moving.

For those curious I went back to the slappy spot today but forgot to bring a brush.

I found that just starting out on the road is a lot easier than carving out from the pavement back onto the kerb, so much so that I can put more speed into it now. It's just a shame it's covered in pebbles but I'll be back asap to clear it if I can now that I've learned the line.

It's predicted to rain over the next couple days so until then anyone have advice on my ollies? This field is the only "smooth" flat I have outside of two towns away and beyond.

Pro-Tip: learn your tricks while moving to start with, because ollie-ing while not moving is different from while moving, and you'll basically have to re-learn it. Also don't get in the habit of looking down at your board while trying to do a trick.

>>1526297
Not the anon you replied to, but where should i be looking? And do i just picture my legs and feet doing the trick with my minds eye?

>>1526580
When you start ollieing while moving and trying to jump over things, like up a curb or over a crack, you're going to want to look at what you're about to jump over so you can time the jump right. With time the foot positioning will just come natural and you won't have to look, just like learning to type without looking at the keyboard.

>>1526297
>Also don't get in the habit of looking down at your board while trying to do a trick.

what? why not? how the fuck are you supposed to do the trick? when I approach an obstacle I look at it and then as soon as I pop I look at my board. I don't understand how it would be easier if you can't see the board

>>1526297

>learn your tricks while moving to start with

there is truth in this but there's also the practice of getting the motions correct first. like the flick when you do a kickflip or the rotation in an impossible.

>>1526580
what i do is i ride around with learning the foot positioning but not attempting the trick until i get the footing right.

>>1522456

I thought they gave him his own pro board on that shape though?

Both of which are easier to learn rolling.

>>1526663
I can ollie up and down curbs so i think i know what you're talking about. Does the same apply to doing tricks like shove its and kick flips on flat ground? Or over stairs? Im guessing no since more coordination is involved. Thanks for enlightening my noob ass

>>1528956

>>1528956
That's gnar. Should put that in your tinder bio 2bdesu

Tightened my trucks and ollies are so much easier. With loose I would rotate backside a bit. Is it bad to tighten trucks to make tricks easier? I feel like im chickening out a little.

>>1529456
No? It's part of a board's construction.
If you have to tune your board up to skate better, it's fine.

>>1529456
what he >>1529466
said (not because of dubs either).

The only way to "chicken out" is if you put your foot in the pockets of the kickers to perform tricks, but it's all good really.

>>1528945
no hurry :)

with as nice as these came out, im considering maybe having an /asp/ design made (by committee?)

if anyone is interested in submitting a cool design, let me know. it's need to print a minimum of 5 and they'd end up costing roughly 40-50 bucks + shipping, but i think it'd be preety fun

I just started skating and I can push if I've got a nice open area with a flat surface just about but I can't really use my board to get around because I either lose my balance or get stopped by small obstacles on the pavement. Is this normal? I'm 19 so I'm slightly afraid that I'll discover it's going to take me really long to learn things. Also when I'm pushing (goofy) I veer of to the right, how can I stop myself from doing this?

>>1529628
Center your foot flatly on the board. Place it horizontally in the center of the board. Should stop you from veering off.

Question guys. So I was practicing today and got some good stuff done but I made the mistake of when falling once, landing straight on my leg. Not the good oh you stood up right after land, but like straight. It has pain, but I can still move it back and forth and walk sorta, but there's definitely pain.

Is this just a knee sprain that'll give away with some ice and TLC and does this sound any familiar to yall? Hoping it's just a few days off if it and I'll be okay, no money for surgery or doctors visits

honestly it took me like 5 or 6 months to being able to do them constantly moving fast...
the thing when you learn tricks stationary first is that you learn to do them but jumping really high and weird, because you are standing still.
I've noticed that when you are going faster and try to ollie, you have to get much closer to the ground if you want to try to pop as hard... and that time it takes to realize this is what people calls confidence

Shred the gnar bro, 'who fucking cares' is the unofficial motto of skating. As far as your ollies, you're probably keeping weight on your back foot when you're trying to pull the board up with your front foot. You kinda wanna 'punch' the board with your back foot, in that when you throw a punch you don't just leave your arm out full extended. Bring your back foot up after you pop the tail so that the tail kinda bounces and your front foot evens it the bounce.

I hear you man, but I've hit my head harder just walking into stuff not paying attention with no problem. It's just that stigma of head injury from sports. The fall was probably the equivalent of me sitting up on concrete and letting myself lay back onto the ground like you do in bed

I had this a while back. I just took a week off skating to let it rest a bit. it's the equivalent of getting a bruise on your arm and punching it a few times a day and wondering why it won't heal

>>1504431
try placing your foot a little more central. like if when you pop, the ball of your foot is in the middle of the tail (or maybe even a little further). this'll make your board rotate once you take air

>>1505282
its all a learning thing. I had to learn a new technique since I dislocated my arm (so that I wouldn't throw backwards and pop my socket out again). maybe practicing Ollie's on flat ground while forcing yourself to try a new style would help? i dunno
