one day i'll get back tails (my number one top best favorite trick ever in the world of the universe ever)

>>3011795
besides back lip (on ledges) and back smith (on anything), of course

crookeds are way easier than noseslides

>>3011795
we have almost identical "front tails" (I put it in quotation marks because I have trouble sliding them too, but it's allright because we will get them) and I can't even backtail at all, not even stall.

>>3012007
troof

>>3012210

Pj ladds new part was a bit of a let down

Did the last thread die? Fucking mandrama...

I've been in such a slump lately. I just can't seem to learn anything. I've been trying all summer to land something other than an ollie but it just isn't working.

>>3013771
all his parts since wonderful horrible life have been let downs

that ledge wasn't waxed. i can get them to slide but they are kind of scary. they're a bit easier on higher obstacles. every time i try them on a small curb i end up slipping out. you have to get used to the balance. that's the part i can't get with back tails. one time i slipped out on a back tail and body slammed the box at my local park. i don't know how people hold them, especially on waxed obstacles. it's weird that i can back lip, though because it's kind of a similar trick

i actually find back tails easier to get into. i had to force the 90 ollie for front tails when learning them. to get the stall, you work your way up. do a 50-50 stall, turn into tail; then 5-0 stall, turn into tail. finally, ollie into tail stall

>>3013007
Not >>3012427 but that is fucking horrible.

>>>/fa/

>>3013914
Lasted less than a day it seems

don't give up guys were all gonna make it

Can you ollie up a curb into 5-0? Or down a small stair set?

where my /fa/esg/ crossposters at?

>>>/fa/12684201

>>3016120
i used to go on effay back in like 2011-2012. go back there occasionally to remind myself how bad it has become. that board is fucking shit

>>3014310
Ollie over and down and up shit

I was really big in skating back in the 2000s. Skated a lot, was pretty decent, had a lot of fun.

What happened? That 90s/early 00s culture was so much better than whatever this is now. Maybe because i'm not really a part of it anymore. But it's like all anyone does is show up at the park with a gopro and try to get instagram clips or vlog

>>3017012
Why are you so worried with what other skaters are doing

>>3017639
because i dont have any friends and i don't want to drive almost 2 hours to a park to engage with people who don't understand skate culture in the same fashion i do

>>3016120
here, I'm the dale decker anon

>>3015600
>every time i try them on a small curb i end up slipping out

yep, me too

>>3017768
Lmao you 2 hours just to skate a park? Do you not have a driveway/parking lot? Build a ledge or some shit. Holy shit get your life together.

>>3015600
If you want slide balance you need to learn use wax all the time unless you're skating the butteriest of ledges.

>can do fakie and nollie bigspins every time
>cant do them switch or on my reg stance
hmmm

>>3018171
You dont have to pop for fakie and nollie shuv tricks. You should but you dont have to to land it.

>>3016120
hello

>>3018171
the momentum helps the spin cause youre spinning in the same direction youre moving

>>3018372
I usually try to pop them just cause it feels cleaner, except on quarters and shit then I can't pop them for shit.
>>3018425
yeah this is it, I'm really shit at spinning backside in general for some reason though so I should probably work on that too

>>3018466
You gotta swing your shoulders with your board as you scoop.

For those asking from a couple threads ago:

According to an insta post, at least part of (the game of skate) Dime MTL jam will be streamed on insta

>>3018562
I've tried that and I always land with my popping foot off. Only few I've landed was when I'd done a pop shuvit and just turned my body with it, but they were sketch as fuck

>>3019000
Your shoulders have to be over the board while turning with the board. Its harder to get right than it sounds. But its really not that hard. Don't lean into the turn.

>>3017822
we don't all live in copenhagen or some shit, i have a shitty driveway too rough to skate on in the middle of nowhere, usa

>>3020134
I already told you to build a ledge. And if your driveway sucks get bigger softer wheels. I live in FL and have to drive 45 min just to skate a stairset. Stop making excuses. Nobody likes to skate with people who do more bitching than skating.

>>3022145
are you referring to yourself?

>>3022229
I think he's reffering to 90% of esg posters that keep saying they can't ride on their skateboard, and haven't learned an ollie in 6 months.

man enjoi are so fucking retarded. foy got turned pro at the kotr finals night and they had a massive party etc.

jackson pilz got turned pro at kotr night, but enjoi kept it silent until now, and released his turning pro video as a bunch of highlights from kotr? fucking retarded at least put out some unseen clips

>>3018171
i learned them with a pivot first. if you can, find a spot that'll allow your wheels to slide. even if you don't like pivots, it's helpful to learn it that way. once you get used to that motion, you can pretty much think of it as a pivot in the air to get them complete. it's all about getting used to the feeling of the rotation

>>3022995

>skateboard or even a fucking longboard

Seems like we get questions about them every so often. I just can't bare seeing someone suggest a penny nickle to someone looking for that longboard feel on a practically sized deck.

thanks anon the lossen +retightening fixed it ily

bought my first skateboard a few days ago and it leans left and right like crazy, should i tighten my trucks or my sense of balance is just shit and i'll get used to it?

i did my first backside 50-50 on transition today. i'm gonna try rock to fakie and frontside rock tomorrow

>>3026094
you just have to get used to balancing. i'd recommend loosening your trucks rather than tightening them because it'll force you to balance and it's in a way easier to ride because you can turn by leaning as opposed to tic-tacing

>>3026109
it's cool when riding bcoz it's easier to turn yeah but i have problems even standing on it

Just got back from my first sesh with them. I swapped insoles for a thicker set from another pair of adidas and after that they were perfect. Was skating alot of flatground and i had to look really hard to find any wear. And the straps secure the shoe a million times better than laces. This is the best shoe I've skated and I'd put money on them lasting until next june at the least. Pic related is after 3 hours of kickflips and impossibles. 10/10 plan on copping again.

>>3027469
Spain. Denmark. US.

>>3029572
Yeah, shoes tend to last long when you don't skate. Crazy I know.

>>3025177
nah, not broken, most likely only sprained. it just got very swollen in that single place immediately after the injury. the following day the bump had disappeared, and the ankle was evenly swollen all around for a couple of days.

Whats the fucking problem? Push twice, get on that bitch and slide. Remember, your take a bad fall eventually.

use the ball of your back foot to pop in the center of the tail, straight downward. don't focus too much on the pop. it'll happen naturally as you jump up and the board will come up with you. i've noticed people try their hardest to push down on the tail when all they really need to do is just jump up. jump up and the board will follow. do rocket ollies if you can't level it out. get used to it and refine it

Barcelona, Spain has a reputation for being extremely good. Subject to skater pilgrimage kind of good.

Some cities in Brazil are also supposedly great but it's foreigner unfriendly in the sense of an everpresent petty criminal element; regardless, seemingly half the female pro competitors are Brazilian, so there's got to be a great scene down there. People who've been to Berlin say Berlin is great, but I think it's just rubes falling in love with their first actually cosmopolitan European city...

Even though it was cheaper online and I would've gotten better parts, I went to my local shop today and got a board built for me. I'm getting back in after a decade of not skating and I gotta start all over. At least I work nights so the parks are all mine while the kids are in school.

I'll post my board tomorrow after a few catch-up runs.

Welcome back, brother.

Dear anons,
Who /kickflip/ today? I gotta work but hopefully I can get a session in this evening.

i cant believe it took shoe manufacturers >30 years to realise velcro skate shoes

still my fave eva

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeZF1JLaG5w

Bought a longboard like 4 years ago back in highschool back when it was cool around my school to have a longboard.

Now, in college, I have begun to realize how much of my short trips can be covered by a board instead of my car. I drove from my dorm to my campus (literally 5 blocks) every day, but I can totally just do that on a longboard. The roads are really flat and relatively smooth so I could just cruise.

Thing is, I'm heavy set and I think I weigh too much for the board. I push as hard as I can 8 or 9 times just to roll about 10 feet then come to a stop and when I see people online they're just cruising. Is this just a problem of weight?

Or it's probably the bearings/speedrings/wheels because I haven't used this thing in 4 years and it's been sitting in a closet?

How the hell do I get over curbs on a longboard

>>3062757
that shit is DEFINITELY your bearings.

>>3062779
God bless, I'll head over to the local skate shop and get new bearings/ask someone to change them cause I'm a retard who doesn't know how to skate

I just assumed it's cause I weigh like 250 lbs and that was my issue.

I have a longboard and a skateboard, but I don't know how to ride either. I'm thinking about going to my local skate shop but I'm worried they're just going to tell me both my boards are shit and to kill myself and never skate or something

>>3062761
By buying a real skateboard.

>>3062511
I think it was more about getting over the light up sketchers and old people stigma velcro comes with.

>>3063013
If you're thinking about driving to a shop to ask how to ride a board then you should kill yourself.

I had swellbow for 3 months straight. Just could not stop falling on it. Just now dusting off my ankle from a small surgery and I can't wait to blow my elbow up.

>>3062761
You get off of it and lift it up like the low level cretin you are.

>>3063511
Haha. Enjoy! I started wearing wrist and elbow pads on my left arm cuz I couldn't stop falling on it either. Im starting to like the look. Something like a knight meets a cricket player.

>>3063528
I don't even like having shit in my pockets to skate. I missed being sore and bruised to much to wear pads. Its hard to sleep when im not tired and nothing hurts. That and I don't want to look like a fucking kook

>>3063441
Thanks for the input anon :)

Here's a friend eating some crap
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WJOyvcvdK8

I can ollie flat pretty decent, but I cannot for the life of me do it moving/onto a curb. I crouch way down but I dont get how all these other people I see ollie basically standing straight up

>>3063849
crouching way down isn't really good. just get a nice pop by flicking your back toes on your tail or if you use more of your foot, do whatever works to get a nice pop. then you wanna suck your knees in toward your chest. don't like bring them all the way to your chest at first, just work your way up there.

crouching down makes your ollies less fluid since it takes a while to get yourself situated down to that position.

>>3063858
Yeah, that's the issue I'd been seeing. When I was practicing flat in my garage, I was taking like 15 seconds once I got on the board to set up and just jump.

I think I just need to try and do em frequently to not let myself crouch

>>3063863
Don't practice standing. Do it rolling. You'll have more stability.

>>3025769
im okay with new deck and new shoes because it doesnt take long to land something, but new fucking wheels is the worst. its like learning how to skate again

>>3063479
The only female skater with any type of style in the street is some unsponced russian girl that I've only ever seen one clip of. There are locals at my shitty park better than 99% of female "pros". These insta pages like metro and true that repost every time a girl rock to fakies.

>>3063863
you get a more explosive pop when you squat down and pop straight away

also try to ollie over some things before ollieing up a curb, like start with a pencil or something work your way up to an icecream tub

>>3064795
I wear shoes with toe caps so new shoes and grip is like unflippable. But i feel you about wheels. Not necessarily new ones but just different shapes and formulas than youre used to. I tried to slide soft wheels and almost died. Same with conicals.

>>3058008
crow bar my dude

how do i find skater gf?

some girls on campus ride long boards. How do I approach?

>>3065185
Find a girly girl thats ok with you skating. Skater girls are just like car girls or gunbunnies. Attention seeking whores that have no genuine interest in the things they claim are their whole life.

Landed a couple of back boardslides on a little rail today. Pretty stoked as I have never had the balls to skate a rail. Also making some progress on my frontside transition skating.
I need to start skating hips, but they really terrify me. I also have a huge problem doing stalls in transition. I can get into and out of a 50-50, but my weight always stays inside the bowl.
Got the day off work tomorrow. Going to skate hard, pop some tricks and never forget to smile.

>>3066300
>back boardslides

the bs is silent, as butthole would say

>>3065830
1 in 10 million. And none of them are really good looking. Nora was the only straight one in the show and she's like a 6. I know you think a skater gf would be the answer to all your prayers but all thats gonna happen is you arguing about you not skating together every time and her fucking other skaters. Its like stoners who want a stoner gf until they realise she doesn't work and smokes all your weed. If you want to ruin your hobby, base a relationship around it.

>>3065830
Skating with girls will make you a worse skater. If you want to progress skate with GOOD skaters. If your just trying to get laid skating, focus your shit right now because you're a poser.

>>3066515

That's because everybody likes seeing a sufficiently athletic girl rock to fakie. As an amateur photographer that's one of the circumstances where I'll allow a buttshot.

>>3065185
Last time I literally looked at a young woman twice in a very obvious manner. Helps to be in your 30s and awesome enough to skateboard.

>>3066515
... also, seconding the bit about having a stoner girlfriend. An internet pal of mine is someone's stoner girlfriend, and she literally smokes all her bf's weed and doesn't work. Spose it's like, homemaker material or something...

>>3067374
I don't. I wanna see skill. I don't follow skating repost pages to see a 6/10 rock to fakie on a 2' quarter. Especially when the caption is " [flame][flame]THIS GIRL RIPS[flame][flame]." its disingenuous.

What's a good camcorder to record skateboarding?
I don't want to use a phone and I have $400 to spend

What are you saying?

>>3067634
Anything you can get a fisheye on. If you cant afford the lens, don't bother. If you have an iPhone just get a death lens and handle.

Hey what are some skate companies that you would recommend? Tried out a habitat deck and it was pretty flexible which I'm not a fan of. Also just feels weak.

Late on the reply, work and sleep yesterday, skated this morning at my highschool's skate park, just like back then, little kids on their scooters were hogging all the good spots.

I threw away the receipt already but I think this built is: stereo deck, thunder trucks, bones red bearings & wheels, and gold screws.

>>3068261
Primitive has good stiff wood.

>>3068326
Your highschool has a skatepark?

>>3068301
funny, it was a choice between pizza and habitat for my lest deck, are they stiff?

I guess, I don't know man it's just a deck who cares

bend knees

>>3068580
>bend knees
I'm basically shitting on my board, can you elaborate please

>>3068567
go outside and practice while rolling along, move your front and back foot back so it doesnt hang off the top of your board, suck your knees up to your chest when you jump

>>3068632
The latter two things make sense, but why on earth would I start with rolling when I can't ollie properly when stationary?

>>3068632
>>3068641
Also it's wet outside the past two days

>>3068641
practicing while rolling makes for better progression, for me at least.

>>3068326
dont be afraid to just push scooter riders over if they're in the way

>>3068648
Makes sense, was gonna try setting a 2x4 board up on edge and going over it on the road in front of my house, but as I said above, it's been raining and I heard skating in wet conditions is bad for bearings

>>3066776
'no'

>>3068261
all pro company decks are almost identical

anybody who says a specific company makes bad decks likely had a bad experience once and denounces them for good now

>>3068641
You'll have more stability. Also dont study yourself to see what you're doing wrong. Study the pros to see what you arent doing right.

>>3068667
Concave, shape, and wheelbase tend to differ even between brands that source their blanks from the same place. I recently gave away an anti hero to my friend because the concave and tail were too steep and i just couldn't catch it or pop it consistently. Switched back to my worn out primitive which is shallower and it feels so much better. Got a fresh primi gripped up in my trunk just waiting for the old one to crack.

>>3068707
Adding the possibility of speed wobbles gives me more stability?

And I really don't get how people seem to have the board glued to their feet

>>3068337
yeah, its a small piece of the general park across the street.

Lads, after a year of attempting I just landed 3 kickflips. Turns out I knew the trick all along ( for at least 5 months!!!) but was too much of a pussy to land it. I drank a bunch of beers and suddenly kickflips are doable.
Next up backside flips!

>>3068708
I dont give a fuck what you think of my advice, tubby. My ollies dont suck. You're probably gonna stop skating next week anyway.

>>3068744
Half cab flips are easier.

>>3068769
>tubby
Lad I already said I know I'm fat, there's no need for that

I'm just asking you a fucking question about why rolling gives more stability, cause that seems counterintuitive as shit. Chill the fuck out

>>3068780
you don't have to go lightning fast, just push like once or twice. if you're still wobbling then tighten your trucks or practice your balance

>>3068794
The place where I wobble is shifting my front food from parallel with the board from pushing to perpendicular for coasting

>>3068780
Nothing pisses me off quicker than someone asking for advice and arguing the advice they receive. I overreacted but you should work on that because most people find that shit very annoying.

>>3068707
i meant in terms of wood but yeah they do differ in shape

>>3068816
>just do this thing
>why should I do this thing
>just do this thing you fucking faggot


Nice community

>>3068707
also you're a faggot for buying primitive

>>3068821
Try knitting if you dont like it.

>>3068820
Well yea unless you buy a bamboo its all canadian maple. But some sources experiment with different plys and thicknesses.
>>3068824
I could not care less what you think of my board.

>>3068567
Yeeew. Landed some nice ollies m8.
Maybe try bending your knees when you land so you stick to your board. Also you can try tic-tacs when you land to make sure you just stick to the board. Other than that, you got the ollie down my man. Just keep at it. When I learnt to ollie while rolling, it was like I had to relearn the entire trick again. Learning to ollie is fucking hard, but in the end it's all just muscle memory and weight distribution. So practice away.

sick mates nice to see skate threads on 4chan, I'm not that great I would consider myself a beginner cause I can't kickflip. But at least I know I have a place for critique.

Anybody have any experience with creature decks feeling different from other big name brands?

>>3069940
Never rode one i imagine they ride like a welcome due to the widths and shapes

>>3068816
>arguing the advice they receive

that's not what they did. you should work on your attitude. giving advice doesn't grant you any authority, it's just your opinion.

>>3070563
You should work on your cardio.

Seriously, this >>3071899

what i always say to beginners is dont fuckin focus on learnig to ollie, or kickflip, pop shuv, etc. And get all frustrated.

Just commute on ur board, go everywhere on it, learn to ride/push first.
Have fun.
Riding the shit out of it develops your balance & control.
Ollies and other tricks just come naturally after that.

I already do ride around town, but I don't call that skating I call that riding. That's why I'm doing ollie practice.

>>3072195
I did when I first learning to just ride around, but I want to be able to not have to hop off my board to curb

have an old board, but no trucks or wheels.
Should i shell out 70$ on some good truck and wheels, or just buy $20 amazon ones.

>>3073135
In order of importance of quality in my eyes:
Bearings
Trucks
Decks
Wheels

>>3073140
i dont agree, as long as bearings roll then you're fine, especailly for beginners, but even advanced skaters.

IMO importance is
trucks
deck
wheels
bearings

>>3073151
I think bearings/trucks are interchangeable based on if you're doing more street skating or just cruising around town. I definitely wouldn't put decks above bearings, cause you can get away with a 50 dollar deck from a local shop pretty easy

>>3073159

I'm still a beginner, so bearings that will make me go one speeds faster wont make much a difference anyway.

What I meant was, is buying $20 amazon truck and wheels fine for a beginner, or are decent trucks necessary for street skating and beginner-intermediate tricks.

>>3073229

just regular trucks and wheels

skating aint cheep you fuck

>>3073229
I'd honestly invest in decent trucks, they'll last you a REALLY long time and the cheap ones feel kind of weird. For wheels just get w/e.

BUY THUNDERS AND MINI LOGOS THEN

I wanna buy my first complete to learn on. What are the best companies/brands, or at least some to avoid

>>3073456
buy the seperate components and put it together yourself. its good practice for when you will inevitably do it in the future

>>3073514

w-what if i'm clueless about components

>>3073456
Wallmart

>>3073515
google desu. Or just go to your local skateshop, don't be shy, most of them are happy to help.

>>3073140
Do you not powerslide or lock into grinds? Wheels are important dude.

>>3073515
DECK: Doesn't matter, get an 8' or an 8.25'
TRUCKS: Thunder or Independent standard trucks in 139 mm width
BEARINGS: Bones Reds, but it really doesn't matter
WHEELS: Get between 50 and 56 mm, preferably 96a-99a duro (doesn't matter though), brand doesn't matter (I use bones STF)
HARDWARE: Doesn't matter, (I use shortys)
GRIP: Doesn't matter, (I use mob)

and you will need a skate tool to put it all together

>>3073229
Get indys and spitfires. Buy once cry once. By the time you notice any wear on them you won't be a beginner and will be glad you got quality.

god i wish i could afford hookups decks

>>3073598
Get a job.

>>3073598
Do people only buy hookups to use as wall art?

Why pay extra for a deck that will be scratched beyond recognition after a few sessions?

>>3073672
i wouldn't pay a lot of extra money, but I always make sure that I like the art on my deck. For some reason it feels cool to have something nice looking to ride on, even when its all scratched up it can be cool.

>>3073680
This.
>>3073672
Theres a dude that goes to my local park that rides a hookups. If you can afford it and like to support smaller companies i dont see why not. I have a new issue World on my wall. The only reason im not riding one is because they don't make them in 8.4

>>3073672
people are hypebeasts bro

>>3073672
because i supporr jeremy klein and skater owned business

>>3073718
Supporting legendary companies past their prime doesn't make you a hypebeast. You're probably too young to remember when they were in shops all over the country.

>>3073726
No, I remember when every hypebeast I went to high school with 20 years ago jocked them because of Le Anime Girls

>>3073656
i have one i just cant fit anythig besides the discount bin in my budget

>>3073734
How does supporting them 20 years after their hayday make you a hypebeast?

>>3073747
Put money aside for one while you ride what you have now. By the time you snap it you SHOULD have enough. If you don't then you're an illegal mexican working below minimum wage and you have to go back.

>>3073766
firstly, im from australia and nobody stocks hookups decks thus i would have to pay shipping and a single deck would cost me around $100
secondly, budget implies that i have other purchases to make besides skateboard decks ie paying rent and buying food. you might not have to be doing this yet so i understand why you think im a broke mexican

Shane O'Neill probably the best skater in the world but this nigga boring as hell. It's like watching a video game. Too sterile no swag. Like the opposite of an antwuan dixon

>>3074357
Ok, Jamal Smith.

>>3073906
$100 shipped to Oz is a steal fisrt of all. And secondly no store anywhere stocks hookups because they're not in demand anymore so there was never not going to be shipping. And i get that you're dollar is ass right now but the fact that you cant put 25$ a month away for 4 months while you push the wood you have right now is pathetic and leads me to believe you have shit job and are not as fiscally mature as you claim. I make less than all my friends that don't skate and am able to maintain a good savings and buy wood whenever the fuck i want and still pay my bills. And i buy my wood online.

>>3072835
There's a song in German with the hook being "you're a skater, right? do a kickflip". I always sing it when I see skaters comin thru

>>3074786
My two of my locals stock hookups. It's sick because sometimes they'll have sales to get rid of old stock. I've picked up akiko for $65, and the angel one too. I skated the angel the one because it was an 8 and the akiko was 8.5 so that was way too big for me so it's hanging as of right now.

3-4 times a week. Stop torpedoing your shit into corners.
