/eternal skateboarding general/- endless summer edition

why are street league skaters so boring to watch?

I dropped in a quarter pipe for the first time today, it was cool. How did you guys learn to ollie?

>>1600978
I have a phobia of drop ins.

I learned to ollie by skating for a thousand years

yes, I am eternal

Did anyone here learn how to rolling ollie without having any skate friends?

It feels completely impossible to me, I have commitment issues and generally the board goes on the curb with at least front truck but no feet, then I start feeling like a clown after 15 minutes of that on repeat and go home a failure.

>>1600897
was thinking about creating a custom shape for my boards
i got a few 8plies wood shapes laying around, long enough for 2 longboards each
was thinking about an 80cm old school with one flat kick or an 80cm pintail with averaged ends, always flat
the length is due to my height

>>1601018
Yes, it's possible to do it alone. Try harder.
>>1600972
Ishod Wair =/= boring

please stop putting all this dumb shit in the op

>>1600978
pop and slide the side of your foot

make sure to slide up and out, not straight up.

getting perfect timing will take quite a few sessions.

>>1601018
yup, keep at it nerd. just try it on flat, you don't have to learn ollie up a curb

>>1601061

o ya?

no idea if i managed to do a rolling ollie a couple of times this evening since no friends around and I feel like I'm moving then pop

nothing

then I'm down again and rolling. I mean this must meant I'm doing it, right? I don't even know where I'm looking while ollieing, probably straight down.

Fuck. Every year I tell myself "this is it, i'll throw the deck away and leave it be" and every year it pulls me the fuck back in. Goddamn you Sidlauskas.

How do I stop being a pussy and drop in?

>>1601384
do it, faggot

>>1601384
do some meth pre-drop in

Does a chipped nose/tail make any difference? I can't tell if its in my head, but the board feels very wonky. I destroyed my nose by fucking with stairs for the first time after a hiatus.

Just watched his sb chronicles. Is it just me or does everything in that vid look really slow?

>>1601486
I have a deck with the same problem, I now always try to use the fucked up end as the nose since I feel if I keep abusing it, it'll one day snap. It feels sketchy when I try to drop in or slide on it. Pretty much, ya.
Just have to get used to it, make a habit of not making it your tail end and not doing stuff on it for the most part.

>>1601018
yeah, if you fall you won't fucking die

learning to skate switch is like NG+

relearn every trick from scratch

Agree or disagree?

haha I almost did use that but i couldn't find my exercise mat so i grabbed the magic eraser, the upside to the eraser is that they compress under your trucks really well when you start to screw in your hardware and they are super fucking light, plus I didn't even have to drill holes in the hardware because you can push the bolts right through, just cut them to size and you're good to go.

Mongo is pushing with yer front foot

why don't you just get one and spray paint it?

I'm not too confident on my painting skills, besides it would most likely cost more to spray paint one than to find one.

20-30$ deck+ 5-10$ tops spray paint can

I bought a can for $6CAD each from the hardware store, our currency is close in exchange rates which I find fucked up.
If you want it neat, all you do is clean off the surface with a wet wipe, dry it with a towel or something, tape tape around the edges where you can see the layers(optional) and spray from one end to the other while moving the can in a constant motion.
If you don't give a fuck about imperfections in the paint or looking neat, go MAAAAD on it.
Ask anyone if they have a can of some around which I bet they might.
If a blank deck is your only option, neat project.
Also if you got different colors of paint and masking tape lying around and a sharp x-acto blade you can do something cool. pic related

I completely agree. I usually say that the skateboard is the only thing that defies the laws of physics in that when you stand on it, distances and heights expand

Hey everyone, question about griptape:

Do any of you put the gap or cut a line on your grip? Thinking about doing it to aid as a visual marker for foot placent.

And i think i want to try and put it directly in the middle as opposed to closer to the tail which i see more often.

Is this a dumb idea? Im hoping it will be a visual landmark to keep my feet in their respective zones so to speak when catching and landing to minimize slip outs due to feet being too close

>>1607256
if it's in the middle of the board it's not gonna affect any of your tricks so if you want to you may as well

>>1607313
why, would it affect it if it was more towards the tail?

my current board has homogenised grip tape, I jsut have it for some months now and learned the difference visually. I must say however, that it being a football shape from the early 90s helps a lot.

>>1607313
Nice. Thanks for the input, my man.

>>1607432
Im guessing that in certain tricks, the tail can become the nose in a sense and when the line is closer to the now "nose" after say a shuvit, it could create an area of resistence or catch your flick if you follow up with like a kickflip or something

>>1607462
it would be too narrow to stop your foot from sliding. Even if it weren't, the rest of the griptape provides enough traction to pull the board.

Seriously just lean forward. All you need to do is fully lean forward. Its like diving into water. If you fully commit to going headfirst, it works fine. Its only when you hesitate a bit that you bellyflop. Same thing here. If you put all your commitment and mental thought into leaning forward, and put all your weight into your front foot, and none of it anywhere else, you'll just drop in perfectly fine. That's all it takes.

>make it about a mile before a chunk of the wheel comes off

I'm half tempted to snag some cheap wheels and a cheap roll of grip tape since the bearings and trucks are "okay" and fucking around on it until it breaks.

>>1610818
Or you could just not cheap out on that stuff and replace the deck when it breaks

>>1610874
True. It's been seven years though and I have no idea what I should bother getting.

>>1610920
I just got all my stuff from here

with Bones Reds on amazon

http://www.theshredquarters.com/

>>1610920
Pretty much all decks manufactured by the major skate brands are the same, so that doesn't really matter.

For trucks, can't go wrong with independent/thunder trucks. Both are built like tanks, last forever.

Bearings, kind of the same deal as with boards. Bones reds are the most known cheap&good bearings, so those are a good choice.

For wheels, spitfire f4's & bones STF's are the best on the market. Both last forever, i have skated my STF's for about an year now. Still going strong.

Obviously if you want to save money, you can go with cheaper stuff, it won't really make a difference. Just make sure it isn't a walmart tier brand product.

>>1611064
>it won't really make a difference
There's a decent difference between cheap shit and decent shit, especially on wheels, trucks aren't going to matter as much

>>1610920
Also consider getting soft wheels if you aren't going to do tricks

>>1611078
>>1611071
>>1611064
>>1610949
Alright thanks.

I'll probably look around a bit.

>tricks
Not sure, when I skated growing up I mainly used it as a way to get around. I could Ollie but that's just about it because I never bothered to learn anything else.

Now I have a fairly nice skate park near my house so I may possibly give it a visit or two after getting comfortable in my garage.

there's a tennis court in my area that is owned by the community centre. it's mostly empty anyways. Do you guys think I could get kicked out by the staff if I just started skating in it?

>>1601018
>>1601018
Me too bruh, me too. Sometimes its good to take a step back to save territory, like just cruising for a while. Or to get a nice quite spot and to just say fuck it. Ah and shoot some footage with your phone and analyze. Who needs friends anyways.

How can you skate on tennis courts? Isn't the surface pretty soft, so wheels won't roll well or some shit like that. Interested as there's 1 nearby, and i need a peaceful spot at nights to practise flathground tricks. I hate being a kook at the park practising new flatground tricks.

>>1611494
I mean durability wise. Obviously concaves, and other dimensions differ on each brand. And some even have some new shit, like carbon fiber layers, but from my experience those are not worth the extra 10-20$. I doubt the amount of concave, or the shape, or the dimensions will limit the guys skating in any way.

hey, to all /esg/ bros: keep in your mind the good days. Those days that sometimes come once every ten sessions and make up for the other 9, to keep you skating in the future.
Those days when you pulled off a trick and went "how did I do that?".
Those days when you visited a new spot and had a blast experimenting with it.
Those days when you learned something new and got respect from all the other skaters.
Those days when you tried helping someone and it worked and they learned something, despite if they thanked you for it or not.
Those days when everything was in perfect allignment.
Those days are not over and they will not be over until the day you die.

honestly thats the most useful skill you learn from skating is how not to give a fuck

>>1615254
I have really bad social anxiety so it is very hard to not to give a fuck. Once i am on public places my brain just goes shitfuck and i start being self conscious. Maybe it gets better if i just force myself to do it.

>>1615254
along with eating asphalt
>>1615326
just remember that everyone feels that way one time or another

How often to boards break? I feel like it's a big investment to just keep buying new boards.

>>1615417
Not often unless you weigh 300+ lbs

>>1615417
i'm guessing you're a beginner. if so, they'll probably last you a while. unless you're jumping down things or focusing your board, you don't have to worry. also, just buy the cheapest boards you can find (usually $20-30) if you're concerned about money

>>1615440
I mean, obviously there's a trade-off. Shitty, cheap boards will break more often than the more expensive, higher quality ones.
Just curious about where I should try to hit price wise.

>>1615489
$40-50
You can also find $50 decks on sale for $35 if you're lucky enough

>>1615496
How much is the rest of the gear? Obviously you don't need to replace it with the deck, but I'm curious.

Sorry, my brain is worth more than my internet-cred. I've seen a guy turn into a vegetable from a skateboard/car crash, not playing that shit.

>>1616723
pretty sure he already was a vegetable when that happened

>>1616723
Was he skating in the middle of the freeway?

>>1616745
Nope, he was dicking around in the driveway at a party, hit a crack and went stumbling into the street and whacked into a moving car.

>>1616756
>>1616723
I'm pretty sure there's a difference between cruising and dicking around. If you're cruising mostly on the roads along side cars or something, sure but I don't wear a helmet since most of the time I'm on a walkway, wheels are too hard for that shit.
If I'm at the park, okay.

>>1616949
It was just my first time on a board since my Pikachu board when I was 8. Figured better safe than sorry, and I did end up on the road for a bit.

Should i go with pine?

landed 7 Ollies today. Not good or high ones, but I landed them anyways. I felt great but I was exhausted, fucking texas humidity.

Still can barely push proper though.

>>1618606
You haven't moved on to overwatch yet?

>>1618616
don't like it
i like destiny for the pve, i'm no good at pvp

is there a difference between hollows and normal trucks? I have a feeling the axle might bend in a hollow at some point since they are hollow afterall.

so i really need some new skate shoes. has anyone skated in adidas campus vulc ii's before? they look decent enough for skating and there's some on sale for $49.

>>1616723
Yeah man do what you think is best. I'm riding with a helmet too. You'll look have as cool near them bitches but still better off than blewing it completely some day by turning into a veg

>>1618663
The weight difference is negligible, and so is the durability from what i have heard. But if you skate big stairs and shit, better safe than sorry. I have seen normal indy axels bend from some stair skating.

Soft wheels can still handle ollies, right? I need to learn just to avoid cracks and shit, but I don't want to deform the wheels.

>>1619038
if you ever did any sports you know how to fall without banging your retarded head against the concrete. otherwise you were raised as a vegetable and should face your destiny

Found some old indy 149's. Too bad they're only old school mounting, can't use them on any modern boards without drilling new holes in either the boards or the trucks.
Might just get a cheap 8.25 board and use them for some cruising.

Help, I want to do what the guy does in https://youtu.be/9dKOl9xX0lA?t=95 to slow down when rolling downhill at high speeds but
a) i have no idea what it's called
b) i need to know if it works only on extremely smooth ground

>>1619317
What, the powerslide?

>>1619158
>dumbest shit i ever heard

>>1619341
yes

guide just says "lol lower tail and turn left" which to me seems like it would just turn me left and kill me with a failed manual

>>1619145
Why not?
I just do little manuals over big cracks, normal cracks I just push when I'm about to hit it

Question: is the back foot supposed to stay on the board throughout the entire boneless or does it briefly lift off before both slam the board back on the ground?

wat le heck

>>1619426
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYnZP4Qv_AU

>>1619365
Place yer front foot near the front bolts, twist your body weight along with your backfoot towards the direction you're going and lean a bit back when your body is faced forward; if you don't you'll just launch yer body off the board and get rekt. I'd recommend practicing on a really smooth surface like a laminated floor or a smooth tiled floor at a moderate speed. It's a bit tricky to do on pavement since it likes to grip on the wheels, asphalt is okay, concrete would equal death.

>>1619448
Also I find doing reverts easier and helpful when learning powerslides, maybe it's just me

Any hints how to best progress from stationary ollies to one while actually rollin? I mean I can land them more or less when on shitty concrete or with one wheel in a crack but I can't see how to do them while rolling...shit's fucking me up

>>1619474
Find a bike path or an alley way that feels okay to roll on and just fucking do it. Move on to side walks if you fell comfy, I guess.

>>1619474
Try watching your front foot. My problem was that I was lifting, but not pushing forwards enough.

>>1619474
get really comfy just riding

start extra slow

progress from there

protip: mild incline works wonders

>>1619474
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=je8z-J78vB8

>>1619415
I've been pretty unsuccessful with just riding over cracks, I'll shift my weight to my back foot to get the front over, but I can't even out in time to get the rear set go over and I get thrown. Figure learning an ollie in general will help with mobility.

>>1619523
What's your board set up?

>>1619523
I pretty much tiny manual front truck over, then push to get the rear truck over.

>>1619527
Indy trucks, 53mm 90A minilogo soft wheels.
>>1619537
I guess I'm riding too fast for myself then. It works on small cracks, but if there's two sidewalk pieces that are skewed I'm gonna be falling over when my back wheels hit.

>>1619550
With big soft wheels you shouldn't have much trouble

>>1619557
And yet I do.

>>1619474
have you considered trying to ollie while rolling?
Actually gonna be really hard if you spent a lot of time doing them stationary since it only fucks you up when it comes to rolling ones in my opinion

>>1600897
Why do you guys tell people this when you can easily be too old and too fat to skate? You can break your board or your leg with this stuff if you are too fat/old.

just returned from my cruiser mk2 test run
no ollies
a few well put manuals
one decent pop-shove it

was thinking about putting my front trucks just a bit more on the front part, because i fucked up and now i think that with more space between the trucks i could have a bit more stability
green where they approximately are now
black where i'd put them
discuss and give me ideas

>>1619841

>>1619822
for 180s? Sounds like solid advice my dude. thank you!

on a side note, im actually pretty decent at front and back side reverts. but for some reason i think i just pussy out and cant get the full rotation most of the time.

Need some ollie help, I'm getting good pops, but when I try to turn and slide my foot up to the nose, I just end up sending it shooting out and rolling forward. Like, I'm basically just kicking it with my front leg instead of guiding it down.
Or do I just need to git gud?
