i already have two other sets from old wheels that i have laying around, but i just wanted to fuck around and experiment.

people always say "just buy reds" but then this pair goes and breaks from riding around in a bowl for an hour. let's say i try these out and they're even better. makes me go "well why the fuck did i ever spend extra for reds when these are just as reliable"

>>2567298
Thing is that I either land on the board upside down, or I'll land on the board but to far up the nose. The odd time I'll land perfect and roll away. Might be my deck if I'm being honest, it's pretty razor tailed now.

You don't need to be clever, just have a quick look around before dropping in/taking your turn to make sure nobody else is planning on doing the same thing. If you get the good old "your turn" head nod then you're free to go.

I think this is the main reason why people hate scooters so much. They're so easy to ride that kids with no knowledge of skatepark etiquette can just roll up with ten of their friends and get in everyone's way and throw the whole concept of taking turns straight in the trash.

>>2564752
>https://vid.me/WuX5

great start, but don't forget the ollie fundamentals, and you'll have a much nicer kickflip. try to lift your back knee up after the pop, rather than flicking the foot out of the way and then landing heavy on the back, and flick your front foot out more with the scrape, to level the board out. as you can see your feet are in kind of a hurry to get out of the way, which is ruining your clean, level pop.

To be fair I was wary of getting them at first anyway but they were half price and I needed to save money. Just thought they would at least last two weeks.

wait, how did the "skatefast, eat ass" motto became a thing?

>>2570207
I totally get it, but you see now the failure in that logic, right? You went hakf price and they snapped, and now you ultimately have to shell out more money to get em replaced

Your trucks will be fine, your bearings probably will need a clean. They will probably be caked with sand that's stuck to the water and dried on.

>>2571755
How are Royals now? Haven't had a pair in almost a decade. I remember them being ridiculously heavy

totally new to skateboarding, why wont my board turn>:?

trucks are really loose btw

>>2573008
put your weight on either side to turn. if you cant turn and you have loose trucks I don't know. maybe they're tight and you just think they're tight.
you can always pivot I suppose

>>2573008

>>2564493
I'm the guy from a few threads back who recently jumped back on the board a week and a bit ago. the trucks and wheels were rusted to hell, had to use wd 40 to get it going and the deck waterlogged. ollies absolutely killed me so I just got back into pushing off and shuv its but that still killed me.
I'm getting better, ollies hurt less and can now pop shuv it. the only option I had really was to replace my deck but lucky for me I person I use to be friends with and fucking hate left his deck with my a couple years back and it was only ridden 2 or 3 times so I've got a deck in top shape. so are the trucks wheels and bearings. I was surprised by the bearings I've only ridden reds in my life but I think these are swiss. the only thing that kills me is the width of the deck. it's so fucking thin compared to what I've always ridden. so much so I've considered changing the trucks over to the waterlogged deck until I get something new. just glad I won't have to replace hardware other than grip tape.

But yea slowly chipping away and getting a tad bit more comfortable. it's been years since riding. also moved away from the suburbs that weren't too far from the city to a rural area but have a local park 15 minute skate away and a bunch of indoor stuff.

Glad as hell I found these threads that helped me force my ass back on the deck. have been drinking everyday since for like a third of the year almost a half a year and have grown a gut which is weird considering i've always been underweight.

but yea just citing my slow as fuck progress and a thanks to you guys for motivating me.

>>2576038
no, it's right outside my local park

>>2576364
maybe your local part is near that famous spot, kek

I can do them on slanted walls, but not on real vertical ones at all.

Wow it isn't all wrestling here. Anyone else live in no skate land? I'm on a small island where the only spot to skate is my childhood school and a gnarly fish plant. I'm strongly considering building ramps in my yard and going that route.

aside from the gay cuff, the jacket, and holding the water bottle in your hand while skating, he looks like he was having fun and it was fun to watch what he was doing. the fact that he knows how to flow that well doing that shit shows that he at least put the time in to learn, so there's only so much you can do and say to make fun of it.

i'm half normie tho so i don't know how much my opinion is worth.

>>2580915
It was cool when it came back around and people started doing this stuff again, but when pretty much every skate video on Instagram is just slappy grinds, wallies, and no complys it quickly loses its novelty.

>>2580920
you could just not watch instagram shit.

all instagram is made of is trendy bullshit. everyone doing the same shit, same pics, same vids, same angles same memes, etc.etc.

it's normie trash turned up to fucking 12. use it to jerk off to the "totally not hoes" and then watch real skate vids.

>>2577068
Once you get older, you'll understand that people in their 30s can well decide for themselves what acting their age means. Let's hope this happens before you turn 40.

There's some really good shit on Instagram though that you wouldn't see posted anywhere else like https://www.instagram.com/p/BRRqdtIhY4H/. Most of it just seems to be buried beneath the same old videos though.

It's also nice to have a quick scroll down and just watch some 10 second bangers without having to sit down and watch a long video part.

That's not the point I was trying to make, I was trying to say that Instagram is good for finding random people who can really shred instead of limiting yourself to only watching pro video parts.

i've never ridden a Hookups, but to me a deck it a deck. If it's wide and comfy for me I'll shred it till it dies.
Just a tip also: get some big soft wheels of your streets are fucked up. Last thing you want to do is faceplant over every pebble in the road.

What's the best size and why is it 7.75?

Are there any older guys here that can tell me what it's like still skating into your mid 20s? Is there stigma, can you still find people around your age to skate with, do you still have fun?
I'm 25 and haven't skated for years due to various circumstances. I've probably forgotten everything and all the muscle memory by now, so how hard would it be to get back into it?

>>2582046
I'm almost 24. The group of guys I skate with range in age from 15-32. We actually were talking about our ages the other day and how because we're all peers through skateboarding we don't ever really notice the age difference. Except when someone is begging for you to go buy them some tinnies/fags.

>>2582092
Thanks for the response. My biggest fear is being the only older guy out there and having no one to relate with while I try to get my bearings back.

I can't hear you over my 8.38

well 7.75 is standard midsize, perfect for beginners and small enough for technical riding by pros.

real patricians know 8.5 is the best size.

for sure, love those wide boards. I already have soft wheels for that reason haha, I fucked up my ankle for a month from that shit.

something so right about an 8.5. sure, you can't be as tech straight up, but it just feels better to skate on all day.

1. Buy Skateboard that you like
2. Put skateboard on the ground.
3. Stand on skateboard.
4. Push.

Just upgraded to the big boy board. 159's plus an 8.8. Let's see what happens.

>>2584117
Nice choice, dude

I've always had a thing for more squared tails, so I'm always a sucker for a board like that. I find that it makes my ollies feel way better (foot placement seems more comfortable), but it's definitely just a psychological thing.

Enjoy it dude!

>>2584130
Thanks bro! I can definitely see what you're talking about. It's my first shaped board so I'm excited to see if it makes me into the vertical vampire I wish i was.

>>2584188

I almost lost my kickflips, granted I landed a couple today but they don't get very high off the ground and are very meh. If I warm up by skating a ledge or something I can pull of great kickflips, but skating only flatground I guess I don't have the board control and can't land them at all, I just don't commit. Shit sucks homies

>>2584117
that things an 8.8?? holy fuck bro sounds dope for Verttttt

>>2584117
cool jraphic

>>2567691
bikers too. in my day we hated bikers. didnt matter if at the park or a simple stair set, they had a way of being in the way

>>2564703
skaters, as a rule, are not judgmental. they can brag a lot sometimes, but ive yet to meet one that is negative about anyone skating. this anon
>>2567691
knows whats up. unless its an event like go skate day at fdr, you will be given your turn. even if you cant even drop in, just fuck up and climb back up the ramp, you will be given a chance to try every now and again. dont do that though, get there early and get the simple done. drop in, rock to fakie, then youre welcome to try whatever you want and people will be excited to see you accomplish whatever your next goal is. say its rock and roll. nothing, right? people are airing and blunt stalling and whatever. just keep trying and see how excited people get when you finally get it. you wont find a group more positive than skaters

>>2582046
no stigma, it's all in your head. And your body can handle it fine, you 're in your mid fucking twenties for fuck's sake.

>>2565856
this. pretty fucked up that people dont seem to understand that a skatepark is a park of athletes trying to achieve a goal. his toddler playing on a ramp is no different than taking your toddler onto the field of a football game. you arent allowed to get mad at what happens when youre that stupid

>>2567358
iv had boards i can tre, and boards i cant. i had one i had it 9 out of 10, but since then i cant really do them. more likely to hardflip. i swear thats a problem of mine though. i always commit to landing on the board, upside down, or on nose, but those are the two i generally get. fuck, im just a year quit from skating and curiously checking this board. now i want to again...

>>2581960
8.25 is the perfect size for me. I've gad a 7.5, a 7.75, an 8, and now this one. I doubt I'll ever need to go any bigger.

>>2584743
the only time I get annoyed with noob skaters is when I know they are more than capable of getting the simple trick they're trying/you're giving them pointers on and they're not giving it their full effort. Like, I know you can drop in, you know you can drop in, but you keep putting your foot down on the ramp when you try it. At this point the only thing that's stopping you from dropping in is your own misplaced fear. I'd rather you just committed, stacked it, and learnt from your mistakes. that really grinds my gears

>>2584818
why do you have to hit me right in the feels anon? why?

>>2584818
My friend is like this with rock fakies and it's stressful because I want him to land it just as much as he does, but he just can't get over the fear of having to lift his nose up and just lets his trucks hit the coping time after time. I've tried showing him how far he needs to push down and he asked me to record him doing it so he could see how far he's doing it but he still can't get it and I don't want to seem like a pushy faggot.

>>2584825
because you don't get better unless you conquer the ramp in your mind. Maybe I get annoyed because I've had to shout down my rational mind and blindly commit over and over and over again ever since I've started skateboarding. It's fucking scary and you inevitably end up getting hurt. A lot. But the only way to progress at skateboarding is to push yourself and to go beyond your comfort zone. This is the case at all stages of skating as well. So when I see a beginner who just isn't trying I feel as though they're not really skateboarding.

>>2584836
This is what I'm talk about. You have to at least try to finish the trick, even if it means you're going to hang up a few times and hurt yourself. It's literally part of the process.
If I were you I'd just stop encouraging/helping him. You can't do any more than you're already done. The battle is his now.

I know this is all making me sound like a screeching autist. Sorry.

I can imagine. I love the feeling of having a little break after skating every day then feeling ten times better at skating when my legs are strong again. I'd much rather be skating than resting but skating after a rest is 11/10.

>>2586039
It's really frustrating though, I've been trying to learn a few new tricks and I feel like my body is holding me back at this point. I wish I had titanium bones.

Quasi and WKND. Both make boards with stubby, squared off ends. Not as obviously hipster shaped as Welcome, but nowhere near as pointy as regular popsicle decks.

World Industries was cool when steve rocco owned it, it wasn't cool for years and years after he sold it and they stopped sponsoring skaters and only sold flame boy and wet willy graphics. In the last few years they've gotten some new pros and tried to get on our good side, but I think everyone still remembers them as a fake corporate brand.

Tomorrow'll be first time skating with hard wheels. The ones I have are rather narrow as well, like 12-13mm contact width. Mostly cruising on tarmac (asphalt).

Coming from 80D wheels, how many times should I expect to eat shit from pebbles too small to have been an issue before?

Anybody skated Jart before? just ordered a deck on impulse and I have no idea how it's gonna skate.

How do you kickflips ?

I can ollie and pop shove it.

Whenever I try to kickflip, the board only half flip and besides, it flies away from me.

>>2596479
Work on having straight posture and try to focus all your pop straight below you so your board won't fly off.

I dont know if that makes sense but thinking about thkse things has really helped me.

18 and never skated before.

I only want to skate for transportation and maybe do some ez tricks.

any tips? I thought of 8.25 deck and some cruiser wheels but I have no idea.

>>2596924
Thanks

I have heard some tips from different skaters :
- you have to twist your front foot very hard
- you have to put more weight on the front foot
- you have to jump very high

But I think my pop is not as strong as when I want to ollie for example

I ll keep your tips in mind 8

>>2597198
In general, trying harder and putting more effort in and twisting your joints and muscles is the wrong way to go. There's plenty of skaters who appear to pull their shit off without looking like they're straining to take a dump, you know?

Look at what's happening, consider what should happen instead. One step at a time. Know what you're doing. Plan what you're doing. "Do, or do not-- there's no try." Always aim to land your tricks.

>>2597241
>Always aim to land your tricks.
this should be in the sticky.
also "stop asking us about your shitty cruisers"

>>2597198
I don't think the problem is at the pop. Flick with an attitude, STAY over your board and remember to keep your back foot where it is, don't pull it back to your body for protection.

>>2597508
well sometimes you want to fuck around and see how your board responds. Everything comes with practice. I agree absolutely on the second part however.

>>2597535
But that ain't a trick, is it. That's just playing with the board. I do this to calibrate myself, kinda like how one tries the brakes on a bicycle first before riding very fast.

>>2568754
Me. I just recently got in from bombing hills. What kind of board do you have?

Tail has chipped open between ply's and has totally lost all pop. Nose is exactly the same. Waiting for my new deck which should have been getting delivered tomorrow/today but it's a public holiday. Fuck.

>>2597055

Is there ever a longboarding general? Or do you guys just discuss longboarding in this type of thread ?

>>2599578
No we don't talk about longboarding. If you ask questions about longboarding youll only get replies saying "longboarding is gay. Get a skateboard" which imo is the correct response. Make your own thread to discuss your own sport and help push the WWE shit off the catalog

>>2597463
the can be used a cruisers, yes, but their original intention was for vert and pool skating
If you have a transistion-heavy park near you, or a pipe or pool, wide decks are by far the best to shred 'em

He just does that over and over and over. Fucking weird man.

My friend on the other hand experiences often pain went into a MRT and the doctor told him that he has almost no cartilage in the knee anymore.
We both are only 23 so he has a point but every other sport brings risks and they are often far greater than in skateboarding.
