but my wooden board would still get waterlogged in a week.

Penny boards suck balls, I'm just a cheapass fag. I can't powerslide on it, can't tail break, can only use foot. It's dangerous as all hell as well, but I've been riding a board for about 12 years (with lots a breaks in and still suck in doing tricks, but riding is like a second nature).

Who watched /Nikeshit/ here? I like the fact no one just jumps stairs and grinds rails anymore, it's a lot more like the street skating me and my friends did (aka try doing any trick on anything we found). Are there more skatevideos like this nowadays?

On a side note, I hate what Nike SB does in skateboarding outside of throwing money to some high skilled niggas.

I want to make a miniramp video at my local park, just for fun
Is it weird to film yourself? I would probably just do it when nobody is around.
What's some must have stuff to put in a miniramp video?
And no I can't get my friends to film it, I don't have any friends

>>808928
Just film by yourself or ask someone whos at the ramp. Don't be a autistic pussy.
Stuff to put in (Skill Level):
> Disaster (normie)
> Back Feeble to Tail (a bit harder)
> Kickflip Back Lip (worth bangin ya board)
> 360 Flip Blunt (first one i cant do myself :(
> Blunt Triple Flip (Lvl: Cheese and Crackers)

My little brother has asked for a skateboard for christmas. He is 11 years old and I'm wondering, should I get him a normal size board or look around for a smaller one for him? And if I should get him a smaller mini deck where are good places to buy mini decks that arent shit. I live in europe btw.

>>808973
Ah, thanks for the response. A good reminder that I need to work on my blunts.
Right now I've been working on Kickflip to nosestall, but man if that isn't a bitch.

Hey are there any wide shoes for skating. My doctor says i could get bone spurs around my heel and insole if i don't get some wide shoes while skateboarding. I have tried VANS and NIKE and a lot of them seem to only have narrow shoes.

I usually wear a 10 1/2 Wide, but i can't find any that feel right. Sometimes i go to an eleven but then its too long. Help a brother out here.

>>809812
I have the same problem, you gonna need some cupsole shoes. Which are wide compared to vulc shoes.
I haven't tried many brands buy my favorites right now is the Emerica Figgy shoe and the DC Mikey Taylor S. Hope that helps

>>809762
often in skateboarding, moves that look ridiculous are simpler to execute than simple looking tricks that are actually a bitch to learn.

>>809812
>i could get bone spurs around my heel and insole

that thing does not exist, your doctor tries to sell you shit, pick up what you want and keep skating.

>>809819
Already had a spur around the inside of my heel before though. I even got custom insoles to prevent it further but since the shoes are so narrow it will cause pressure.

>>809820
what the fuck does that even mean, your bone grows out of the skin? that's ridiculous, how the hell can that happen?

>>809815
Thanks senpai.

>>809822
Its pretty rare man, happens to people with wide feet Or flat soles. Pressure causes it to develop.

>>809825
let me get this straight: if I wear wide jackets will I acquire wings?
That's not how it works bro. It's pretty common knowledge that bones don't grow into wings unless you drink the urine of a unicorn.
Your science knowledge is shit.

I have a steep arch but wear flatsoles, am I fucked.

>>809829
pls be troll

>>809832
that isn't answering my question

>>809835
It's like this you can get a spur it runs in the family and its congenital. Or it happens of damage and pressure. It can also happen on the spine, which is why some tall people get them on the neck or lower spine. Sometimes if the spur is big enough it will have to be taken out with surgery, but if small it can be taken care of with therapy and medication.
And no you probably aren't in danger or anything unless someone in your family has it. Hope this helps.

>>809845

phewwwwwwwww, that's some good news....for me that is.

thanks bro.
hey look at the upside of it: you can kill people with your kicks now.

You bros inspired me to get back at skateboarding.

>>809913
>You bros inspired me to get back at skateboarding.


talking about adding insult to injury...

>>809913
If by warm up you mean go and cruise before actually attempting an ollie, then that is a good idea. I always like to ride around before I even start trying new tricks. As for the ankle thing, when I was just getting back into skating the first week or so, my legs felt really dead, like they were sore from riding and doing tricks, they stopped hurting after a week or two, it was really odd. If you are doing the correct steps in the ollie and doing it right, you shouldn't be hurting, unless maybe your body just is not used to the mechanics yet and just need time to get used to them. If that makes sense. By the way, it's good to practice in the grass, or somewhere soft, after you feel confident enough, bring it to the cement.

>>809913
as for trick tips, just experiment with foot placement. I was learning pop shuvs, and i learned after putting my feet a certain way, I could pop some high ass tre's, before i learned the shuv. Just experiment, commit, and ALWAYS do tricks while rolling, even if slow as fuck. Never do them stationary

What are some good skate videos for those rainy days? I want something along the lines of lurknyc, bronze 56k and gx1000.

Also when trying to 50-50 grind do I want more weight in the front of the board or the back?

This. I really like what those wrestling guys have done with this board, long may it continue

Got some new shoes, comfy as fuck.

I'm very new to skateboarding. I started skating yesterday afternoon when I found my balance.

Currently, my only board is a decent penny board imitation. How does someone ollie on a penny board? Also, what are some more tips for someone on my level?

>>810969
you really can't ollie a penny board, I mean, you probably can, but you should get a real board.

>>810969
For the long run, a real skateboard will be more beneficial.

>>810969
Ollie on a penny board is almost the same as a proper skate. The thing with the penny board is that the tail is so damn tiny that you have to do the front foot portion of the movement before the tail can even 'pop' off the ground. Those little cruisers are fun to play with, but I agree with the other anons. Get a proper skateboard, it's fun.

>>810285
Here's my little youtube playlist I sometimes put on shuffle. However, the videos you mentioned are already on there, hopefully there's some stuff you haven't seen. In this playlist, I especially like the diego meek and jackson casey (pyramid country) stuff.

This board is definitely on my wish list

I used to skate back in highschool and the last tricks I almost got close to getting down were the hardflip and treflip but I stopped after I moved. I'm 23 now and I bike'd to work but recently got hit by a car so my roadbike is dead. I found my old deck and I'm thinking about getting back into it but I feel like I forgot everything and I feel like I've lost my balance on it. My board feels loose as shit, would any random skate shop at a mall carry T-Tools and is it okay to skate in classic puma sneakers or are they really shitty to skate in?

>>813634
Skate shops will definitely have t-tools. If they don't they aren't a skate shop. I would not recommend skating in puma sneaker shoes, even if you get a cheap pair of skate shoes, that's still better. I say get back into it, if you could almost tre and hardflip, then you were probably pretty decent. Never to late to start back up.

>>813634
>>813643
I actually somewhat take that back, Classic Puma sneakers probably aren't the worst, I could think of something worse, but it's up to you, and your financial situation. Are you gonna try tricks? Or just ride?

>>813634
Any decent shop should have a skate tool and as long the shoes are suede you can skate them. And don't doubt yourself, you'll be back to tre flips in a couple months as soon as you remember.

Thanks, I've had way too many problems with my roadbike and almost been hit by cars numerous times already that I'm just thinking of going back to skating and not getting it fixed after finally getting hit. Pic related, it's the shoe I skate in. I work as a cook in a restaurant so I need slip resistant shoes. These pumas and my work shoes are the only ones I really have.

>>813651
Nothing is wrong with that shoe, Puma technically made that their only skate shoe. And you can get them for cheap on Amazon.
If Jimmy Cao, Joey Brezinski and Schmatty Chaffin can skate them, so can you.

is revisiting a spot 30 minutes after being kicked out a good or bad idea? after they tell you to leave does that mean after they can arrest you?

>>814325
They can detain you until the actual cops come. I wouldn't skate a high bust unless you're absolutely sure you can get the trick 5-10 mins. And you must capture that shit on film because before you know it, it could be gone.

>>814244
riding a girl board, best shape ever, it's called like the g023. In my opinion, there are stronger boards out there, but the shape of girl/chocolate boards are just what really sells it for me. Some people hate on them, but I really like them.

So what? This is "Skater of the Year" not "Skater of the Century".So fucking bullshit, Shane O'Neill should've won. He's the skater that actually ripped throughout the year. Hell, Miles Silvas, Chris Joslin and Kevin Bradley deserve it more than AVE does.

And I do mean a reminder, I am optimistic that you know it deep down.

Very Inspiring, I wish I had your skills. I am over here ollie-ing cracks in my neighborhood, sometimes I will go to fast and my body will just freeze and not want to ollie. makes me feel very unstable. also how do I make gifs?

how do i get the board to stop slipping backwards when i try to ollie

>>815297
Does SMA still own the rights to produce those reissues? Skip Engblom did reboot the brand, but it's very very low key now.

>>816087
keep in mind ive been skating since i was like 12, and in 28 now

my mistake was more or less giving up on kickflips when i was 14 and not learning them until i was 26. skate all the time. i skate as much as possible. take your board everywhere and skate anywhere you would normally walk
get a set of filmer wheels for when you aren't at the park and skating everywhere will be much more fun

>>816141
also, go to parks and try to hang around other people that skate. going to the skatepark regularly has totally humbled me. i'm always the most inexperienced person anytime i go. but people are always super chill and sometimes help me if i ask for a tip here or there. skating with other people is the best feeling, even if its just getting your gf a board and teaching her to push around with you. me and a couple of my newbie friends love to push around through a paved park, just cruise and enjoy the outside. skate skate skate everyday. have fun, enjoy yourself, learn tricks you think are cool. have fun!

>>816149
Thanks man, Im 18 and I picked up skating a year ago. I skate everyday as much as I can, I already have a regular deck and a film deck. I broke my regular deck trying to front shuv off a curb. So I just took the deck I have from my film board and slapped it on. Thats probably going to break soon too. Im actually putting together some shitty clips right now. I might finish tonight.

Here it is, its noisy and the kid I chose to film it is shaky.

That 5050 kick flip was really nice up until the tictacing.

Well AVE won SOTY, alot of the new fiends are mad as fuck. Some don't even know who he is.

I don't even skate anymore but I started paying attention to the skate scene again when I heard he was still killing it at his age.

>>816505
He's a core skater, dude been killing it since his part in the DC video.
His propeller part was icing on the cake. But the younger generation can't appreciate that, they rather have a part with a million tech flip tricks that are easily forgotten after a day.
Quality over quantity, AVE won.

>>816510
yes, the younger generation also forgets that there's a point in history that we 've passed that no matter how many years pass, some things are still new school, like AVE, like anything past the 1992 point.

>ave doesn't deserve it desu. everyone votes for him cause he's old, "classic" and "og", but now every instagram skater is as good as he is and the bar is a lot higher. having said that, he might just get it cause soty is politics and hype

How often do you skate? Assuming you have a full time job if you can afford all those decks, unless yankee autism bucks are higher than I thought.

>>816632
i was working about 30 hours a week but i just got a new job on salary, so im going back up to 40, but still... off from work, go skate. night shift? go skate until then. i mean, some days its like skate for an hour after work, but days off give me time to head to the park for 4-5 hours. its more important to just make skating a daily occurrence (skate from your front door to your car, skate to the gas station for a soda, skate on your lunch break) i really just enjoy skating period so its never felt like a chore or something i need to go practice. its something i look forward to

>>816641

cupsole has a thicker sole, and protects your heels from jumping down bigger gaps. Vulcanized soles give you more board feel, and you can have a better feel under your feet.

>>816948
he meant a body varial along with a pop shuv it.

>>816624
We can only hope.

People say that you have to slide your front foot forward on board to pull back od the board up. Okay I get it but when Im pulling my feet up it doesnt slide on the board, and when Im sliding the foot on the board it jest sticks to it and brings board forward from under me. Its hard to describe ill try to record it.
Anyone knows what am I doing wrong?

>>817093
you have to angle your foot 90 degrees

Great brand.

i cant even begin to comprehend how to skate switch. i cant even push

>>818287
It's basically learning how to skate again, it's fun when you can push both.
Keep practicing.

do people actually care to make the nose/tail distinction? like who gives a shit

Anyone fixed their split deck before? I shoud get mine fixed, any tips?

>>818299
Like, wood glue coming apart splitting?
Iirc the ratvision skateboard channel has a tutorial to fix that

>>817947
Luckily, I'm getting it

>>818291
On my plan B board, You can definitely tell which side is the nose and tail. It feels weird when i pop things up on the tail like fakie tricks because it tends to stick more.while i feel i get more pop with my tail than my nose. obviously.

On my girl board, You can barely tell which is which but there is a tail and nose.

it changes the feel a lot for me and i can do certain tricks better on one than the other. I honestly don't know if that is what you're talking about. both are Popsicle boards by the the way just one has a more steep curve than the other.

I thought switch skating would remain a dream for me. Until I actually started fucking around with it. You know, like all skateboarding.

Try to see it as less as excercise as possible. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT

>>817947
>i'm old

no you 're not, we 're young. Slap the teenagers who think otherwise, they deserve it and they will learn. Not respect, just to appreciate reality.

>>818322
A lot of people recommend learning to skate switch as early as possible, but wouldn't it be fairly easy once your pushing leg gets more strength (and therefore better control) later on?

>>818324
up to you I 'll say.
As far as what I 've seen, trying differnt things on your skatebord will keep boredom away (it's not an excercise, it's fucking NOT) but will also make your abilities develop more spherical. If you tried only ollies for two years and only that, you 'd get a shittier ollie than someone who has been skating for less time but has been trying other things.
It has to do with confidence as well, what I 've said.
Just focus on losing the athlete attitude.
You can't ollie up something? Go up it in some other way.
What about that nice trick you thought? Make it happen?

>>818306
What about your trucks? My back truck feels softer since I pivot on it a lot more than my front truck. And it turns backside more easily than frontside since I do a lot of backside tricks on transition. Riding my board "backwards" with my back foot on the nose makes everything harder.

isn't the difference proportional to the deck width or so? i skate 7.5 so the difference is not very big

I don't really don't feel a difference I pivot a lot on my nose because I think it's cool to do after I land something

>Colden
His part is good (7/10) but doesn't fit the mood of the video. When everyone else in the video is skating straight foward, his tech ability refuses to shine. Personally his part should've been swapped with Clark Hassler from Vol. 1.

There was an anon who was disappointed in his skating, but in his defense, Salazar was injured for a good part of the filming.

you're probably leaning too far forward

>>816116
learn 2 balance, position your weight correctly, watch your form

>>821707
basically this, if you are leaning to far one way or another, you may cause the board to slip out

>>821470
>>821707
>>821759
ty, guess i'll try to concentrate on getting better balance rn

>>821819
Yea man, happens to us all, no worries. Make sure you can ride around and you are very comfortable on your board, it'll definitely pay off later, in all aspects of your skating.
