just started skating 3 days ago
i can ollie and thats about it
what's the next thing I should learn

also, I'm 5'10 and riding a 7.5 board, which my friend says looks too small for me, what's your experiences with 7.5s?

Just got about a week ago, already can do shuv it's kinda, slowly learning how to Ollie, just gotta stop being puss, and occasionally manual and try to preform nose manuals, I also found this deck wedged between a telephone pole and a pipe, anyway yeah I used to skate when I was like 13 or 14 now I'm 18 and I actually wanna start taking it kinda seriously, it is super rewarding if I do say so, I'd also like to ask some more questions about clothing and shit if you guys don't mind

I dig that you can tell just from that pic, but anyway I will like kiss someone or post my face or some shit, not that I'm amazing looking, if they can find these for me in that same color way too, also if anyone knows any skate company that sells anything with an 80s vibe to it, neon, nor hipster really, just 80s. My friend found for me a "tom cruiser" basically a cruiser board with the top gun cover on it...

>>797011
i have problems landing on it and was thinking getting a 7.75 or a 8, but on the other hand i feel like if i learn landing tricks on this thing, i'll have a better style overall

Shuvs and 180s, past that you can jump around and do whatever you want.
7.5 for me is tiny. If you're into double flips, pressure flips and 90s skating in general, keep that size. But landing is going to be a pain and stylewise, the only people who came out the 7.5/90s era with style is Gino, Dill and Carroll, everyone else isn't that outstanding.

>keep having dreams where I can skate like a pro
>tfw waking up and realising I can't even ollie

Life is suffering.

>>796961
probably all have you filtered like I'm about to you insufferable cock munching tripfaggot

>>797266
I see you're just learning English, I need you to work on your grammar and composition skills as well, b.

>>797011
mehh, yea i'd size up. 7.5 is like a kids board. It is all preference, but you'd probably be better on a bigger board. If you have a local shop go and stand on some boards, just to feel which one you are comfortable on.

The BEST way for anyone to start skating is to start off with a size 8 cause it's fairly average, then go up or down depending on preference

>>797063
They trended hard and over saturated the market with plastic boards sold for $100 dollars that benefited no one else in the industry besides Penny.

What do you guys think for our first video?
Should we make more?
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PGB_v_5jJ_o

Can anyone recommend me a smaller skate board to fool around with? Are pennies and zflex any good or are they just meme tier?

>>797501
It's alright but could improve

Get the watermark off

Either make a no music video or lower the footage sound cause i can't hear neither of them well and it sounds like shit

shuvit, 180, then kickflip. tre flip after that.

>>797811

>>797663
learn to do your tricks with power anon.
power leads to control and control is what you need to learn new tricks. I couldnt heel for a long time, but after i got my kickflips nice and high it only took me a day of practice

a different kind of of board but it still has the ability to function as an actual board if needed

>>798898
Welcome Skateboards are shaped and are different than a standard popsicle deck.
Something like that?

>>798906
Was just asking in general because I found a mini skateboard(looked like it was meant for toddlers, but seemed solid af) at a thrift store for 5 dollars but regret not picking it up.


Haven't visited Welcome's site in a while

>>798819
pennyboard/skateboard/longboard are the same with ukulele/guitar/bass in a lot of ways (how they're perceived, who uses them, the culture, the rivalry, etc. except guitarists dont hate bassists as much as skaters hate longboardes)

>>798912
I would've definitely bought it to try it for fun

also i know people hate on aaron kyro, but his board control is dope af

Miyagi? Didn't he retire?

What do you guys honestly think of the following?
I've been skating for 1.5 years and my ollie technique is just now getting perfect. I managed to learn shuv its for one day, but then forgot them the next. How am I doing?

>>799181
You're never too old to skate?

>>799181

Do you focus on tricks or do you do something else? If you are primarily focused on tricks then that's sorta shit desu, if all you do is bowls and stairs then it doesnt really matter. Can you do any other tricks?

>>799189
I got a bit of park shit in. I can rock to fakie, and drop in alright. But beyond that and a low ollie, I got nothing.

>>799191
do you skate every single day? I'm honestly not the best person to be talking since I really just started skating a week ago and can only ollie, but after 1.5 years I feel like you should really be much more progressed

>>799197
Naw. At most I skate 30 minutes every other day at least. This fluctuates, with some weeks having 2 hours at the skate park every day.

>>799200
>>799197
same guy. It took me 3 months to get my ollies off the ground

>>799200

Be more confident? I don't know what to tell you other than that with practice you will get better. If you spend like 2 hours a day skating every day for a month constantly doing tricks I'm sure you'll be fine. Watch tutorials on youtube too if you currently don't, that's what helped me learn to ollie in like 30 minutes

As a beginner am I going to notice much difference between Bones Reds ($10), Bones Super Reds ($15) and Bones Ceramic Reds ($40)? Should I just go for the cheap ones?

>>799235
nah just grab the normal reds

>>799235
Just regular reds

>>799240
>>799254

Thanks a bunch

>>799269
Better yet, just get the Mini Logos bearings if they're cheaper. Invest more on trucks and wheels instead.

do you guys think smiths are easier on a rail or a ledge?

>>797634
i can only pop them

>>799169
He retired from being pro, doesn't mean he stopped skating.

So my legs are weak as fuck which is obv a problem when trying to skate. Anyone ever do any exercises to improve their leg strength?

>>799201
you're just not committing enough family

What's the cheapest skateable board that you can put together?

>>799577
Idk about the other components, but I would put Reds Bearings for 5£. Anyone knows of cheap and decent trucks/wheels/deck/griptape/hardware?

>>799580
>Trucks
Krux
>Wheels
Spitfire Classics, Ricta Naturals
>Deck
Sale, shop deck, or price point
>Grip

>Hardware
Whatever, as long as you don't buy the $10+ Diamond hardware or something you will be okay

>>799433
Rail

>>799593
speaking of cheap decks skatewarehouse is selling their shop decks for 20 bucks each
anyone have any experience with em?

>>799577
Go to Skatewarehouse and pick a deck, then choose the buy as a complete option. Usually around $80
>>799595
My brother had one, it's just a blank deck with the SW logo on it. For the two months he had it, he enjoyed it.

posting trick tips just fucks the general up. I suggest we stop posting video trick tips and actually report requests for such. I am dead serious. They began as a troll attempt to derail the threads.

>>800097
i don't get it. why?

>>800102
unless someone is asking for something specific, like this guy>>799756
posting video trick tips is waste of thread. Ask, share your experiences, post your material and for god's sakes read the fucking OP.

nice, I 'm trying to learn half cab flips currently.

>mfw people still do fliptricks on flat
lmao get with the times, no one cares you can flip your piece of wood when your pop is non-existent and your technique is just hilarious

>>800650
The irony is that half this board's pop is nonexistent.
>get with the times
When half of skateboarding is obsessed with relatable skating which takes a nod to the early 90s era where fliptrcks on flat is acceptable, this is funny

>>800580
I'm envious of your wallies, those are pretty dope. Get yo halfcab flips down, you're so close.

whats the cheapest VX I can get

>>800580
You gotta treat half cab flips like yo girl.
Dont force her. Let her be free.
But if she comes around bang her nice and hard!

Is a backside flip just a non fakie halfcab flip?

>Finally pull off an ollie

It just feels so good, even if it is the most basic trick

What did you achieve lately?

>>800807
I can half ass them consistently with zero pop like full cabs. Adding pop throws me off a little. And wallies are my favorite trick.

>>800154
is chris chann actually part of revive?

Wait what's the difference between hard wheels and soft wheels?

>>804761

Like I can't skate but which ones will let me go the farthest?

>>804733
no, he just rides for the wheel company, not the boards.

>>804768
It doesn't matter

>>804796

Like I mean what wheels do I need to pedal the least, I'm pretty lazy.

>>804815
Soft wheels family

Hard wheels (100a+) are for skateparks and smooth surfaces. I found it impossible to cruise around my town with 100a cause they are crazily noisy and the vibrations get annoying. Now I have Bones ATF 80a and I'm happy

>>804815
well soft wheels are better for cruising

>>804818
>>804820

Thanks amigos.

Do bearings matter when it comes to cruising? I'm never going to do any tricks (wayyyy too old to learn now), I just want to zip around town.

>>804824
Not really, but what probably matters the most is the size of the wheels. The bigger the wheels, the faster and further it goes. However, board gets heavier and FWIW tricks get harder.

Alternatively, get a longboard

>>804824
i know that the ratvision skateboarding guy says oust bearings are the best but Tbh wheels matter more for cruising
just get some bearings that will fit your budget, no need to get fancy with em

>>804824
Bones Reds

>>804832
that guy totally shilled that video tho. fuck that faggot bones 4 lyfe (but it hardly matters tbqh)

>>804835
yeah i was getting some shill vibes super hard from the video, still the guy has good information in them

>>804831
>>804832
>>804833

Cool I think I'll just get those bones something something 80, like I said I can't do tricks so that's not important

Last do skateboards need maintanence? Like do I need to clean or oil the wheels or something every month? Or can I just forget about them? Sorry for all the questions

>>804850
try not to get it wet
after maybe like a year if your bearings are acting funny you can clean em

>>804850
u only need to clean the bearings every now and then (and optionally lube them) especially if you skate after rain when it's all wet. or you can just buy new ones

>>804841
>>804835
>>804832
I love the Ratvision series but there's something fishy about his support of Oust bearings. In one of his older videos he was wearing a shirt for Oust bearings, and they're hardly a "big name" skate company so it's likely he's connected to the company in some way.

Also, here's a beedy0 of me assembling a new complete and dickin' around a little bit. I have a couple injuries right now so didn't try anything serious.

Am I the only one who is addicted to building new completes? I'm finding excuses to buy a new complete like every month...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuWQ7DEVfwQ

>>804815
soft, bigger wheels are better for cruising, they cover more ground so you do go faster, but are less responsive

>>804864
man, that place looks so chill. nice ollie btw

>>804864
>addicted to building new completes

I feel you man, I only really get a new board when I truly need to, and don't get new trucks, wheels or anything, but there is nothing better than getting and setting up a new complete.

What is the best skate video ever made, and why is it Fully Flared?

Seriously, this nearly decade old video is still the pinnacle of modern street skating. Pretty Sweet was nothing more than an epilogue to Fully Flared, True was just stunt-manning besides Felipe's part, Chronicles and Debacle feel like soulless, corporate product, and Stay Gold felt unfinished.

How could any video ever knock Fully Flared off its pedestal? Fully Flared encompasses everything skateboarding should be: a commitment to style, a commitment to authenticity, a commitment to friends, a commitment to a lifestyle.

The answer is that no skate video will ever top Fully Flared. There will never be another ensemble of skaters with as much credibility and as much talent as the mid 2000's Lakai team. Every other team can put out amazing videos, but they will always feel lacking in comparison. Fully Flared feels like complete, undiluted street skating.

i just dont think any team has a stacked enough roster atm to make a video as good or better than FF.
if primitive gets a couple more big names and the video is done correctly then i think it COULD be better.
that or it will be hyped and end up being overproduced garbage like pretty sweet.

>Skaters that rip on kids that are trying to improve their skateboarding.

>people that want to rush through skateboarding and get good at it fast.
>"skaters" that carry their board around them everywhere but are never seen actually skating it.
There's this guy at my sixth form college who brings his Primitive Tupac board with him at least once a week for about three months but I've never seen markings on his board at all.

Grizzly Grip is worst than MOB desu. Almost is still a shithole because if you're on it, you're immensely overshadowed by Daewon (plus we haven't seen a video since Marnell was alive).
Current Koston is probably an ass in person (never met him) but on film he looks fun to be around.
Blame Instagram for security fights at famed spots.

Jesus, I built a quarter pipe last week and I had to save up for that shit.

I once tried skating fast like Cardiel, ended up eating asphalt.

So could the international skate congress just sort of change nollie spins the other way around? There's a pretty clear pattern with the other three stances as far as bs and fs, then nollie is different. Why isn't fakie flipped? I can't understand any reasoning behind it.

>>806178
Holy fuck, Im over here skating in my garage. extremely jelly. How much do you think that would cost? I would skate tranny more, but all the drops here are like 10 feet plus.

>>806208
it said in the description that the wood alone cost $4000

>>806208
A lot, but you can build some ramps for under $100.
But they're small stuff

>>806200
Don't overthink it or you'll play yourself.

>>806215
>>806208
would definitely help if you or you know someone thats handy with tools and knows how to build stuff, would cut down on the costs as we as the time to build ramps.

>the new age of skaters that skate in order to get sponsored and not to have fun

So much this, I see adults coaching their little kids into being good. I don't just mean showing them how to balance and how to ride, but actually like coaching them and giving them lessons. Am I the only one that thinks that is wack? It doesn't even look like the kid is having fun, it's just like an adult who wants their kid to be the next big thing, and is making them practice and learn when they are young.

I still think pros ten years from now will still be skate rats who rip just to rip. Getting sponsored is never their goal, their goal is just to skate. Any monetary gain they make as a result of skating is an added benefit.

Or maybe I'm an idealistic kook who doesn't know shit.

As a Europoor I way prefer east coast skating to anything west coast.
And anyway Barcelona is obviously our Mecca.

>>806475
totally respectable, but modern street was born in San Fransisco, which has put out the most technical skaters since Rodney. To me it's California in general and if you want to be specific about the mecca, Venice Beach/Dogtown.
I 'm a europoor as well, I 've never been to macba or Spain, it looks like Barcelona has awesome spots.

Is it true that MOB Grip fucks up your shoes?
Should I get Jessup instead?

are snowskates good at all or nahhh?

>>806735
Mob does mess your shoes up pretty fast, speaking from personal experience. You can ask if your shop carries mob m-80, it's only 8/10 as gritty as normal mob. Honestly, I've never had a problem with any grip, whether it be jessup, mob, black magic etc. If you were to get mob, you could always just sand it down to your preference.

Would be safe to skate on damp pavement? I want to skate to Uni tomorrow but I'm worried about fucking up my bearings.

Advice?

noo thred when?

i just wrecked my piece of shit $6 goodwill board. Where do I get a new one that wont cost $100 and wont break as easily?

>>806880
IF by damp you mean damp but without splashing water, they should be ok. You can always wipe them off when you get home. Remember that water not only makes bearings rust, but washes off grease too.

>>806912
Yeah the ground is wet, but there's no puddles or excess water anywhere. Thanks anon.

>>806911
or if someone would donate parts I would be much obliged.

>>806911
Go to Skatewarehouse and pick a deck to your liking and choose "Buy as a complete" option.
They choose some decent parts and it totals up to $80-100 depending on the deck you choose.

>>805993
I'm that guy at my sixth form, I was even considering getting that deck (it's on Amazon btw so he shops for decks on Amazon lmao). But my board is fucked up and I actually do skate. I remember someone else brought in a board once and carried it everywhere they went all day while I just put mine down in the common room, it's not like you can skate around the sixth form building anyway. Fucken posers making me look bad.

>>806080
But you need to know the tricks before you can do them fast??
