dont worry, when youll start grinding youll get these scratches, but dont make them artificially, youll look dumb

After years of being too pussy to take up skating I went and bought myself a cruiser board to ease myself in. How long will it take me to get comfortable cruising around town on it? Once I'm happy I won't eat shit cruising I'm planning to get something a little narrower to learn to trick on.

>>2414953
Ollying over a small crack or line will help you get the faster

>>2415624
>cruiser board
wrong thread compadre

>>2415719
Cruising isn't skateboarding? It's only a 28.5" deck w/ kicktail.

>>2415719
I started of with a cruiser, I wouldn't recommend it. It takes you longer to learn tricks when you get a real board, and if you're strapped on cash and ready to move onto a real board you won't be able to.

>>2415728
Why would it take longer to learn tricks? Main reason I picked it up was because the roads/pavements round here are absolute crap and I've never been able to get comfortable rolling on them on a proper board with hard wheels.

>>2415738
get softer wheels

>>2415742
Bigger too though? By which point once you've added risers you might as well call it a cruiser...

>>2415747
No, OJ's do like 53 mil hot juice. And tough pavement isn't that bad. My pavement is shit and I ride 50 mils.

There are always people who are bitching around. Just show them that you are not a dayfly and you are there to progress, eventually they will respect that, not like they could skate good from the beginning.
Atleast thats how I know it, we shittalk about skaters who rarely show up, even tho it's more like friendly banter but still skaters who don't rip but come fairly often are more welcome than some fuccbois who once in a while show up.

Styles for Miles :^) and can't get enough of Ishod.

the board is heavier, has the wrong shape, and in general feels completely different to a skateboard. If you ever learn any tricks on it you're going to have to unlearn them when you buy a real skateboard.

are power peralta pre-assembled skateboards any good?
im poor as fuck and it's the cheapest quality(?) option available i think (buying separate parts is too expensive for me currently)

I don't understand how I can do it, it's like high too. My ollies are like an inch high and slightly turn frontside if my front foot doesn't come off. I can also barely push in a straight line.

ollie pop shuv it and 180

didn't see longboard thread so posting here:

looking for two sets of wheels

1) decent grip at higher speeds (35+) but enough slip to break slides without being scary

2) smaller (60-62mm), icy enough for easy slides at low speeds, grippy enough in case i go fast.

I used to do serious downhill and freeride a few years ago and even broke 50mph but stopped and now all of the wheel companies that I liked are out of business (these wheels, rainskates, etc)

I still park skate but something about going down hills is so much fun.

the landing was sketch so the board slipped and I pulled it
was probably gonna do that, I was just hoping I'd be up for hitting some spots around town

why the fuck are boards so expensive? gimme a 20 dollar board family

So I just skateboarding again like a week ago and I get really bad pain in my foot just from pushing my board around town.
Should that go away eventually? Tips?

if the pain is in your back foot, try pushing with your whole sole in a smooth front-to-back sweep instead of just kicking the ground with the ball of your foot
if the pain is in your front foot, try positioning it differently on your board while pushing

>>2423173
it's in my back foot, the one i use to push with
i'll keep your tip in mind thanks

You know you wish that you could skate street as good as him. And I 'm not even shilling. In fact, I would be shilling if I would agree with you, because that would agree with Hawk's own point of view about his skating.

My personal favorite skate channels are Diego Meek and Jackson Casey. Both of those filmers/producers are from Arizona and film a lot of the same guys, with regards to Jackson Casey, also check out the Pyramid Country channel.

Another favorite channel of mine is Gabe Kehoe. He is based in St. Louis and produced the amazing video St. Losers. He's currently making another titled Comb. Kehoe films a lot of really "nutty" skaters like Randy Ploesser, Alex Kehoe, and Chris Jackson. Something about the shit spots that STL skaters skate makes for a very powerful and confident style.

That being said, lurknyc is a favorite of mine too.

broke my wrist a few years back bailing on a blunt to fakie
I was a bit inebriated so I didnt even notice it was broken til the next morning

today I learnt switch fs bigspins.
what did you learn today, anon?

I'm learning to skate and I can ollie pretty well.
I stare at my feet when I do it though and I was wondering if that's normal or should I be learning to do it without having to watch my feet?
I feel like it'll make trying to ollie a curb or something more difficult if I'm too busy looking at my board and not the obstacle.

>>2425650
FS 180 finally just clicked today, kinda learned indy grabs off a small launch. Pretty hype to be honest

>>2425650
Nothing. It's raining and I have badly bruised ankles.

>>2425739
use your peripheral vision to watch both at the same time

>>2425811
Yeah I kinda figured it was something like that.
When you watch pros ollie over fucking tables and stuff it's like they don't even look at their board at all so I was just curious to know if what I'm doing would be bad practice.

Any of you UK guys skated a unabomber deck before? Heard their stuff was pretty good, just wondered if somebody could give me an idea of what to expect. I'm suspicious cause they're not too expensive.

>>2426402
They're really popular where I am because we have a few locals signed to them (Will Golding, Alex Halford, a bunch of the Get Lesta crew). They're pretty quality from what I've seen, just cheap because they don't have to be imported. You should get one. Support local.

>>2424466
Tightbooth Productions and Soundboarding are both great Japanese channels. Cooper Winterson is fantastic too and hangs out with other guys like Jesse Alba (juicy elbows), Genesis Evans (foghornleghorn), and Jason Byoun who are all in nyc and have their own channels.

What's everyone's favorite board company based on the type of board it is rather than graphics, or muh pros?

I like pic related because of the concave is at a perfect medium and the nose is longer than the tail. Also, so far been skating it for a year and havent had major damage besides nose/tail chipping here and there but no reason to complain.

Definitely Zero, the concave is just in the perfect where I can place my feet comfortably and doesn't feel like my heel is floating around the board.

I recently got a couple of decks that my friend got me on a trip to japan. I think the name is Evisu, will try them out after I give a good beating to my Cervantes deck.

who fucking cares what people think

Anyone ordered from SkateAmerica dot com?

Their prices are cheap as hell and they have a few decks I can't find anywhere else. A lot of their feedback is negative, but most of its from a decade ago.

What times are considered early? I'm assuming it's 9-12 but I may be wrong.

What trick are you lads working on? I can't get 50-50s for the life of me.

>>2431938
I've notice the earliest skaters ever show up to the spot/park is 1200-1300. If you go before then it should be near empty.

Going burly is college though.

It's the anon from before who was talking about making tshirt designs and stuff.

Here's one design we were thinking of, do you nigs fuck with it? Would you buy it. Probably would be about 20 for long sleeves and 15 for short sleeves.

Some changes might be made to it but this is just a mockup and would look better when it's printed.

>>2430944
everyone. stop fronting niqqa

Get rid of the Mickey Mouse in a noose. Very "le Edge". I like the ashtray though. You should do some grey tees with just the ashtray on the front logo with "Deathknocks" underneath. I'd buy that.

>>2432933
Noted, maybe we could do that up for you.

I didn't find a longboarding general, but I guess I could post it here and survive the ridiculing here. I invested in this, what do you guys think?

I am a complete beginner and I figured that I first go cheap and just fuck around until it breaks. And then go seriously for the hobby.

>>2433068

A skateboard. One with a nose and tail, one that you can do ollie on

>>2433089
Oh, I got two of those already.

But yea, I wanted something chill to cruise on the boardwalk with senpai

>>2433084
they look gay & retarded

Where can I find a video showing street skating on regular shitty grounds without too many tricks besides ollie. just people going from one place to the other while avoiding all those blind bumps, random holes, people, ollieing some curbs to go on the pavement, stopping at the red light, etc

>>2433124

What am I doing wrong? Just started to learn the kickflip few days ago. I try to jump high and extend my knee but I can only land with my backfoot.

>>2433917
>What am I doing wrong?
W-what do you mean? The video already answers your question. You're just bitching out. Stop taking your god damn foot off midway through the trick.

>>2433917
You're prolly bending down to far but you are definitely flicking down, don't do that, kick forward, but you'll deffo land it if you get used to doing that

>>2433917
JUMP

>>2433119
probaly because they are

mickey mouse makes it look like a shitty parody shirt

the spacing on the "see you in hell" is weird and a bit too edgy

overall I wouldn't buy it. it kind of looks like some edgy forever 21 design.

come on anon, you can do better.
and then you can sponsor me

>>2434277
I actually think if the mickey was just a noose on it's own it would look a lot better, and you might avoid a law suit

>>2434148

your wheels look super teeny. how big are they? 44s?

>try to kickflip
>forget to pop
>concentrate on popping
>forget to kick
>finally do both
>forget to jump high enough
this is too difficult for me

also is it really bad to skate with 56mm / 79A wheels? the pavement in london is just shit

>>2434383
Keep practicing m8. those wheels are fine

>>2434428
But my board is so high I have to really push my backfoot to pop it. But I guess it's just that I'm shit

>>2434383
Protip: the problem is NEVER your board, you're just shit. Go watch a Cory Kennedy part and look at the pieces of shit he rides. Having a perfect board is a meme.

>>2434454
His wheels are always small though. Is there anyone who skates with 55mm+?

>>2434436
Having bigger wheels and high trucks gives you more pop, it's science senpai

>>2434454
No way magenta could do their shit with big filmer wheels

>>2434473
56mm are kinda big but that doesn't mean shit.
Also bigger wheels are better for rough ground.
If you wanna buy new wheels buy something around 52mm its kinda the norm and you can't go wrong with that.
You just suck don't blame the board git gud. :^)

>>2434480
No shit dumbass I bet they wouldn't do well with chains or weights on it either. Not my point.

>>2433917
try it riding. it's easier that way. also, what i like to think is that when i pop, the board will come up to me. so just flick and jump and straight up. once the board is finished flipping, it will smack up against the back foot

>>2435180
It very may be but does anyone of them ride 58mm+ wheels?

>>2435747
Oh yeh I'm sure of it. My friend has some 58s right now and they work great if ur into goin fast. I skate 56s or 58s when I can't find 56, and I skate everything.

>>2433917
lmao, I remember when I had this problem, think of it as an ollie, flick and jump, leave your front foot in the air, dont be afraid of a piece of wood.

>>2429449
It's never really a bad idea to. seen people bang their head badly, banged mine but not too bad. kinda wish I would have had one on at the time. If it makes you feel better than go for it

>>2433119
>>2433943
Grow up, so what if someone has a more casual interest in skating than you? maybe they aren't as good or god forbid they just want to cruise or longboard for the fun of it. some of them end up picking up a "real" board after a while anyways, it can be a great introduction for a lot of people. I get so tired of skaters acting like they're some elite and anyone who does anything different then them isn't in the cool club it's childish. from the jump skating has always been about having fun and doing your own thing. in the beginning it was about emulating surfing much like the dude in the vid. try to be a little more open minded we're all riding a fucking wooden toy anyways.

>>2433356
Love that vid, glory days of SF must've been amazing.

i'd never throw the first punch, and I would try to avoid fights as much as possible. besides bravado and pride, i only risk getting injured potentially for long-term

>>2436450
I feel you

>>2436450
Someone from my town literally died from a punch. He was punched and he hit his head on some sharp shit on the ground and he died instantly. not skaters tho

>>2436450
I wouldn't throw the first punch, but I also wouldn't back down and leave the skatepark if I was with 5 of my friends.

>>2434347
52mm

>>2433915
>I'm better than others

yup he's a skater

>>2436450
I will probably never fight someone for the rest of my life but anon you gotta throw the first punch. It's always the gnarliest so assess the situation and if you think it's leading to fisticuffs then take control

>>2436563
sometimes the situation is that the guy confronting you can level you, regardless who throws the first punch.

>>2436568
Unless you elbow the fuck outta their eyes, nose or jaw first

>>2436575
same goes for them
it can go both ways

but I agree that the guys should not leave. I understand their feelings however. Not everybody who goes to a spot is there to fight.

>>2436568
So? You'll probably only get hit a few times before it gets broken up. At least people will think you're hesh

>>2436599
enough time to leave you with a broken jaw

>unscrew the bolt
>can't take out 2 of the wheels

the other 2 went out, but these 2 don't wanna come off. they spin fine, but i can't move them at all along the axle

new deck and trucks coming on monday and I'm very excited

>>2437193
what deck/trucks? i was thinking about buying some too

>>2437315
I posted earlier in the thread, I got a unabomber deck (it's a uk company) and a set of tensor mag lites which were less than half price. Been sporting the same set of trucks for years now and they're destroyed so I'm pretty happy about it.

>>2436964

Well there's a storage of nuclear trash under Angarsk (a town next to Irkutsk, in which I live) and because of that our oblast (state) has a shit ton of people suffering from cancer.
So I guess that's pretty rad?

please don't forget to stretch

>>2442959
Seconded.

I always see people just slide their board when they want to turn it around. My board doesn't slide at all? I'm not talking about power sliding (which I can't do either), but just changing stance, people do it so effortlessly, but my board is just stuck. Is it because I have soft wheels and they have 99a+?

>>2443290
Sounds like you're talking about reverts.

You need to become weightless for a moment, ideally somewhere in the middle of your revert.

Crouch down and spring up before rotating your board. start the rotation from your shoulders.

>>2443290
You sure It's a slide and not kick turn?

>>2443416
Yeah, reverts seem to be what I'm looking for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OFWu34Zxrc
