there is no order

>>2729861
Pick a trink you want to learn, learn it, if it is a combo of other tricks, learn those first

>>2729861
how long did it take you?

>>2730030
4 days of 2-3 hour sessions

>>2729861
I can only ollie, pop shuv and shuv. I find shuvs to be easier than ollies. less energy required

>>2730075
Might learn the shuv actually

>>2730041
How solid are your ollies? It's taken me about a year to get them where I can almost do em on command and I can't land anything else.

>>2730103
I'm sure mine aren't anywhere close as good as yours, but I can land 4/5, I'll obviously keep working on them, but I want something else to not get bored. But overall I think they are pretty solid.

>first time I ever landed it
>friend thinks I was being humble before

Dunno if this is a good or bad thing.

>>2730116
yes, keep trying, keep it interesting and diverse, you will also gain some level of familiarity with other tricks when you perfect "the main" trick, so you can practice easier.

>>2730134
obviously it's a great thing

>>2730417
but is his part any good?

Are there any tricks&tipps to get over the fear doing tricks while rolling?

I'm not very good at skateboarding in general but I can do a pretty decent (180) ollie as long as i'm standing, I also landed 2 kickflips and can stand shove it all the time.
But when I'm rolling my mind is like WTF YOU WILL DIE and blocks any of my knowledge and I fail ridiculously.

How can I overcome my fear? Just trying and falling and realizing that it won't even hurt that much?

Finally got BS boardslides consistent. They're so much fun.

What are your guys' biggest tips for miniramps? I'm still working up to getting over my fear of rocking to fakie. IDK why but it just skaters the shit out of me on a miniramp. I can stand alone ramps, but on miniramps the combination of high speed makes me shit myself.

>wtf
it's so weird. I've been trying that trick for literally years. Hours and hours at a time have unsuccessfully gone into trying to land that trick. How did I just get it first try like that?

>>2734177
idk maybe by not worrying about it and applying all of your knowledge regarding the trick in a new way which had been key to getting the trick that you hadn't been applying correctly before. The new situation was infront of your friends. Just my theory on why that shit happens

>>2734177
I don't think it's that uncommon and I 'll give you my explanation; when you haven't skated for some time, it builds up in you, you get the memories of good skating sessions and don't even care if it's going to be a good sesh your next one, you just want to skate. All the while, you are imagining a trick, visualising it, which is the best way of actually doing a trick. So when you step on a board with that mindset, you a) don't care and b) have a clearer mental image of the movements than if you had burned out trying to land it in one sesh, building frustration

Does anyone have a side board to ride for shits? I was thinking about buying a nickel board complete or assembling a Powell reissue or something.

what purpose does skate photo have when videos are so easy to get out these days?

>>2734892
Magazines can't print videos, and screencaps from a video aren't the same as a photograph. Different styles of narrative and so forth.

For example a photograph must show where the skater came from, what he's doing (slightly before peak usually), and where he went afterward (because published photos are assumed to be from landed attempts). Whereas a video would just roll to show the run-up, trick, land, roll-away; so there's no need to have a single moment in which there's a photographic composition.

You can also use a lot more artificial light in a photograph, since it's only that 1/1000 of a second that's being recorded, so with enough electronic flash units the photographer can basically freeze time and bring his own sun into a dark, dank parking garage or some such.

Them's the basics.

Thinking about making a little ledge out the back of my house since I can't really get out to the park as much as I'd like to... Anybody got tips for diy shit? I'm planning on making it out of bricks and cementing the top relatively smooth for grinds and shit but I have no idea what I'm doing

>>2738715
liquid nail bricks together to your desired height, then liquid nail angle iron onto the edges. optionally, fill in the space between the angle iron on the top of the brick with pvc, masonite, or some other thin material so that grinds aren't too uneven.

Look up videos on how to correctly use liquid nails

>>2738833
Shit yeah I never thought about angle iron for the edges, I'll look into it a little more before I start building.

>>2738693

Yo, I guess you right. But still that was fucked up.

Anyone hyped for Lakai's "The Flare" coming out in july?

>>2739299
You know what you could pinpoitn to Mike V.? The fact that he came back to Powell, repentant. Go find the ad of his return, it's on skately.com. You can touch a lot of skateboarding's history from ads.

>>2739287
mike v is fucking awesome elaborate

>>2739259
definitely do angle iron, bricks alone will wear down way too easily from grinds

This is so different from the modern skating I've seen lol. No one does such long lines, everyone is more concerned with landing the tricks better and popping higher (bet a good part of these tricks would get a redo on BATB), and the guy is even pushing mongo

Was skating back then less affected and more raw?

>>2739795
Watch games of skate to learn what trick are called, Majer crew are good and (obviously) berrics

Ok getting back into skating after like 15 years. Never was great but I'm confused a bit.

Kids at the park couldn't land a flat ground trick to save their lives but I can't get air and hit a crook or boardslide to save mine.what gives? Why is flat ground so easy to me but difficult for them and vice versa? I can't imagine getting that air and grinding on a 3 foot bench. They can't do flat but they can get ridiculous air and hit all sorts of slides...? Fuck I'm jealous

>>2740789
are you referring to Lotti's legendary part? The part that is the link between late 80s (up to 1990) street skating and everything that came after Video Days? The part where a switch 360 ollie was first recorded?

Do you guys wear thrasher magazine apparel?

Hat, shirt etc.

This friend of mine bought the merch because to her it looked cool (hipster type). She got herself a penny board and occasionally cruises (awkwardly). She told me that now her purchase is justified since she's a skater now to which I replied : Actual skaters don't wear thrasher clothes just to be identified.

Tbh it doesn't matter that much, I'm not ragging on her for wearing thrasher and being a poser.

MY original question is if you guys wear that stuff or other skater brands.

>>2741514
I do. I like certain brands who sponsored guys I liked. Don't own any thrasher stuff though I fucked some alt girl in a thrasher tank top once for some big cums.

This reminds me I want a Chadillac Muskalade shirt.

>>2741514
I have an old Skate and Destroy hoodie that I occasionally wear. After Thrasher got huge in fashion I haven't wanted to buy any of it because I need to be a special snowflake.

I've been trying blunt to fakie for a month now, I'm so close I can taste it. Though it has rained all week this week which sucks balls. I can get some pop off the blunt now, but I still haven't been able to commit and roll away.

>>2740864
When I started slides, It didn't feel like I'd ollie into the slide, rather I'd just hop onto the rail.
Keep your shoulders straight and your board underneath you. Practice my man.

I have a Hawaiian shirt with surfboard pictures and "SURF" written all over it. I rarely surf.
Thrasher and indie merch is sick imo, don't have any of it though.
I have a lot of nice socks. Spitfire, Toy Machine and Santa Cruz socks.

>>2741583
Then again, skateboarding is basically surfing on pavement.

>>2741514
I don't. I can't really wear it because, other than the online archive they have (which you all should check out), I have never had any copies of my own. I do however to this day rock Metal Hammer t-shirts, because that was my magazine.

>>2741627
I gotta check that archive. I had a friend who has a picture in an issue like, 97. I'll die if I can find it.

oh, the archive stops somewhere in '97, good luck finding the photo before the last archived issue!

you can criticise Mike Vallely for a lot of things.
But this part is why Mike Carrol, Jamie Thomas and so many others are still in business. How many people do you think this part has put on boards?

shout out to the old guys that can only skate curbs and p. blocks because they can't take a fall anymore.

it's not because they can't take a fall anymore, it's just probably that that's what they like to skate.

This kinda stuff makes me want to skate. When I was a teenager, if you weren't doing the cutting edge street stuff, you were shit, so I didn't bother starting. But now people are coming back around to freestyle stuff like Mike V, and other styles are becoming way more accepted.

I really should start skating, but it's taking the first step that's the problem.

>>2742213

No kidding. Third time rolling around this year, broke a sweat right away, but started feeling good about it and looking forward instead of down. For a moment it was going well. Didn't fall over. Last time I wasn't this good, so progress is happening.

There's a lot of hard work ahead just building up the muscles that you've not got back yet. And it'll take a few times. Just like the martial arts back in 2000... remembering how shit I was in my first belt exam, despite being 25 sessions in...

>cuck
>a /b/ thing
You don't know your boards too well m8. And also no. I would've thought me asking a legitimate question would've gave that away.

>>2748541
That's impressive. But still the question remains, does it actually go vert?

>>2748610

Yup, it does go vert, that's what made doing it backside so fucking scary.

My old local park had a shitty 6 foot miniramp that had vert. Park was built by people that had no idea about skating.

>>2748675

Vert miniramps are the worst fucking thing, because no-one is pleased with them. Miniramp skaters don't want a vert, and mini size isn't enough to do actual vert stuff on.

>>2748623
Yeah that's pretty intimidating to pull off, good work committing.

>>2748707
>Vert miniramps
I personally wouldn't call them that, as they aren't really a vert per se. More of a tight transition.

>because no-one is pleased with them. Miniramp skaters don't want a vert, and mini size isn't enough to do actual vert stuff on.
I get your point and agree, but only to a degree. Because I do enjoy these shitty transitions. Tight transitions are fun because they are challenging to pull decent tricks on. But at the same time if your local consists of nothing but tight transition, its not very fun.

Getting new kicks Friday, this shoe review doc is great. Was wondering though do most prefer being able to really feel the board or do certain people actually prefer those giant tank shoes like Globe and Osiris? I assume you don't get the same feeling of control with them?

>>2748623
>backside

do you mean a kickturn?

>>2749011
yeah no

>>2749275
Yeah, some people do prefer chunky shoes, very rare nowadays though. I personally do not want to go back to chunky cupsoles now that I've gotten used to the thinner shoes that are currently popular. What are you thinking of getting?

>>2749291
No clue, just getting back into it. Last pair were some habitats which I liked but that was like 4 years ago so I'm out of the loop. I'm gonna read that Google doc when I'm off work, gonna do some research, definitely want flexible shoes. Why the eff are old school Vans 60 to 70 dollars now?
>>2749322
I had a framed picture of that shark as a kid lol

>>2749275
I buy second hand sneakers from charity shops. Curently got a random pair of chunky suede nikes that are a size too big. They're my first chunky shoe. They're actually really great. Love the cushion and durability. Going up a size seems to have given me a more pronounced flick. My flatground game has definitely improved. Thin, flimsy shoes are overrated.

>>2749447
es accels were the most overrated shoes ever, I skated my best in chunkier shoes and random ass nikes

>>2749717
Cmon man there's a link at the beginning of OP post

>>2749734
Alright gonna go with Thunder trucks

>>2749286

No, coming into the roll-in backside. Roll along the top of the pipe, turn into the backside and into the roll-in.

>>2749895
oh! I thought about doing that but didn't do it. I 've still to drop in on a vert quarterpipe.

You get bolts when you buy trucks right?

It says it comes with axel bolts and kingpins that's the bolts right?

They apperently had 25 % off if you did a complete board so I added a cheap board and the order got 12 bucks cheaper

1720 kr = 197,5 dollars

>>2750578

>fuckin got it though

>>2752306
seriously, how does one grab? It can't have to do anything with your height since there are tall vert skaters who grab.

>>2752314
like grabs in general?
lean down as you reach the coping, bring your legs up to your arms after you leave it so you dont lose balance.
youre right, it doesnt have anything to do with height.
try early grabs if you need to. early grabs are the only way i can hit 360s

>>2752327
not just in vert but in ollies off banks etc.

>>2752333
i can only meloncholy from an ollie.
my advice is to bend down and touch your board with your hand just before you ollie. you dont have to early-grab, necessarily. just sort of prime your body and prepare it to get into posture.
a quick tap, then let your ollie fly, reach down and nail the grab

>>2752397
hm
thanks

>>2733695

Rock to Fakie scared the shit out of me when I started. Going that fast in fakie does get into your head. Honestly, the only advice that applies is "Don't be afraid of eating shit". It's one of those tricks where there's no huge secret to makign it easier beyond just doing it a bunch of times and getting the feel down.

How do I get over the fear of getting hurt?

>>2753577
dude weed lmao

But seriously it helped me out. It turned "oh fuck oh fuck" into "haha i got this, it's all good"

yo guys check out my super hot line https://vid.me/tGf4 r8 & h8

are 50/50's actually any harder on round rails or is it just in my head?

>>2750228
>52mm good
ride 56 don't be a pussy

>>2753830
you just have to learn how to straddle the rail with your trucks where your board is facing damn near diagonal to the rail. U know what I mean. If you try to land on your 50 totally parallel to the rail you'll eat shit and die. In other words, yeh.

>>2753822
next time try moving faggot

>>2753859
hahaha you're right tho

>>2753577
just quit now this isn't for you

>>2753747
really? doesn't it fuck with your motor skills? i sure as shit can't drive while high, idk how i'd fare better on a board...

>>2753856
I'm gonna start trying to do shit on the round rail at my new local tomorrow, there's only a round rail there and I've only ever skated square or shotgun rails. I get what you mean though I watched a video that says to lock your trucks at opposite sides so I'll give it a go and hope I don't eat shit.

why do some people never improve? there are people that have been skating for years and can't even ollie. how do they get there? do they just not care about tricks?
i started skating 2 days ago and want to know what to avoid.

>>2754137
>do they just not care about tricks?
pretty much

>>2754137
avoid being a kook
avoid stressing too much

>>2754142
Fear imo. Can't be afraid of knicking your shins or busting ass. That's always been my issue, and laziness / not seeing results as fast as you want.

I didn't put in a fraction of the work my buddies did growing up and it showed. Now I'm older and idgaf. I've improved my ollie, pop shuvit, and kickflip more over the past 3 weeks than I had in the past 25 years. Skate for the love of it, if you love something you'll want to get better at it.

Obviously natural talent is a factor but to draw a parallel: I've never been the most naturally gifted artist but I busted my ass to the point where I'm good. Nothing good comes easy.

>>2754144
This too, gotta swallow that pride. Don't get in peoples way (shit happens, don't stress) but don't be afraid to practice in front of people better than you.

>>2748281
That griptape was cheap as shit, I can afford another for my skateboard you cuck

If I took a camera to a park what are the chances skaters will be cool with me photographing them?

>>2755132

>>2753866
i feel like it smoothes out my motions. i feel jittery when i'm sober.

just do the tricks you want to do you lameo

Any tips on how to lock in on 50-50's? I can lock in on a curb easily but when i take it to the manny pad ( about 2 crubs high) i either miss my front or back track (front truck goes over or backtruck doesnt even get on) Its frustrating i have been trying for a couple weeks now. BTW its not my ollie height i can ollie up the manny pad im trying to 50-50 on easily

>>2756302
also i should mention that bs 50-50 kind of feels naturally easier than fs?? this is weird because my friends say its supposed to be the opposite.

Skating with a hangover is a bad idea, I'm dying.

>>2756372
what about skating while high?

>>2730417
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Fuck aaron and revive, even their logo is fucked up and looks more like a M than a V.

Anyone ever try and skate in Onitsuka Tigers? I tried these Badmintons today and they feel as good as any vans classics or slips, not a lot of cushion though. I wore a hole straight thru some vans yesterday and the canvas on these doesn't even show wear after about the same amount of skating.

I was feeling the same so I was just doing in the evening in carpaks/abandoned oil stations/generally sort-of-secluded place. People could still sort of see me from the distance, but it helped (psychologically) that it was pretty dark and they couldn't identify me.

After I learned to do a few tricks, now I feel more confident skating anywhere, but I'm still too shy to skate switch cause it looks like it's my first day on a board

I'm a /fit/ crossposter who's getting into skateboarding. I've managed to practice to the point of being able to ride *relatively* well (can only ride goofy, can't switch, tougher time turning left on one foot) but I haven't fallen once. I'm deathly afraid of injuring myself to the point of being unable to hit the gym. Any pointers for inevitably eating pavement and navigation in general? I've got maybe 20 hours under my belt so I'm a newbie

When you fall don't tense up just relax and embrace the pavement. Only think worth tensing up for is protecting your head. Skated on and off for 10 years and never had an injury, Just bruises and scars

>>2759565
The most you'll get is cuts and bruises, unless you're skating handrails/big stair sets

>>2759565

>>2759650
Thanks for the advice guys. I know falling deliberately won't help that much considering falls happen when you don't expect it, but would it be worth practicing staying loose and not tensing up? I've read to do it over grass first but I think I should just hit the pavement to toughen up. With a helmet, of course

Looking good senpai. These are mine.

>>2759653
Yea best advide I can give is just roll with it when it happens and you've got the best chance of no serious injuries. Also don't go to much over you're skill level work yourself up.

Practive jumping down the curb than jump down something a little higher than a three set stair than a 4 set etc

But yeah also don't be too much of an chicken cause that will hinder your progress.

>>2759676
>Also don't go to much over you're skill level work yourself up

I wrote fast so gramar got fucked

what the fuck are good skate shoes that don't fall apart after riding for more than a week? vans are my favorite shoe and it's literally the only brand i wear but as far as i know the pairs i've worn for skating with are fucking shit

Due to some circumstances I can't stray from the house as much as I'd like to, the only place I have to skate is a 7 foot strip of sketchy concrete out the back of my house and it's really hindering my progress since I can barely roll a foot without hitting a crack. I'm very frustrated.

I'm skating a 60 dollar speed demons complete I ordered off Amazon like 5 years ago. This was before they sold them at Walmart so I'm not sure if I'm actually skating a Walmart quality board? I did get new bushings cause the stock ones literally crumbled.

Should I upgrade to a new setup?

>>2759848
How are those skate mafia decks? Was thinking about picking one up just based on them being pressed in the same factory as Jart decks

>>2760070
definitely upgrade if you are planning to stick with skating. order parts separately. common choices for brands are as follows: thunder or independent trucks, bones bearings, spitfire or bones wheels. Deck is personal preference, I recommend a brand under deluxe distribution (Real, Krooked, Anti-Hero). Hardware can be whatever.

>>2758397
The problem here is the fact that you're trying to achieve a proper forum on website called 4chan. We have people in these generals who longboard and who skateboard. Sadly, the skatefags hate the longboardfags. Whatchu gonna do about it?

pretty gud :D:D:D

just got a shirt from Mike Vallely. He even handwrote a thank you note (well, his daughter, not him) and send me some stickers.

>>2760426
Thanks man I'll keep that in mind. I checked the quality at Walmart and mine is def way better, I guess the brand went cheap in recent years. Mines 7 ply with much better trucks and bearings (ones now are 9 ply wth?). We got a really good local skate shop and I think the dudes there could help me pick out something as well. I'm gonna go when I get paid.

Just recently started skating and i love it so much, but my lower back/hips on my left side hurt from pushing (i skate goofy so this is my push foot) it takes like 3+ days before it stops hurting but i want to skate every day, should i wait for it to fully heal before skating again? im constantly walking with a limp rn

tl;dr : if im injured, should i wait for it to fully heal before skating or just skate it off
