Skateboard streaming?

I didn't say this community shitted on tech tricks but I completely understand what you're saying.

Also JeffWonSong, must've deluded himself well because Ronnie Creager actually picked him up as an am for his semi failed brand. I don't really want to know why and just wished eS would get themselves together and get Ronnie back.

>roller woodflip

I'm in the market for some new trucks and I have been looking at the Thunder titanium lights. Are they worth the premium or would I be better off with just regular thunder polished or lights?

>>964466


open the pastebin, then open the link within.

>>964816
if you're going for a light setup then it'll be worth, or maybe if you're skating something bigger than 8.5 but other than that not really. my 8" with normal stage 11s is heavier than my 8.625 with indy titanium lights, just as an example.

>>964466
>>964906
there needs to be more people in there. it's a cool idea.

>>964816
I've got the thunder lights, I also wanted to get the titanium because they look great, but in my opinion the price wasn't worth it, at least for my situation at the time. The lights work great, but lighter does not always mean better, Indy's are great as well, I've seen people with heavy ass trucks pop really high, so I guess it all comes down to preference.

No more Thrasher in the OP?

jesus fuck, just took out my cruising wheels that i haven't used in a week or so and all of the bearings have literally seized up

dropped them in acetone, blasting the rust to fuck hopefully

>>965371
Also, no tunes in OP?
>asking the critical questions

>>965481
I did put a tune in the OP

>>965536
Forget I said anything

>>964816

Just from personal experience, I'd recommend the Titanium. If you can afford them, might as well. They're the best. I've been very happy with them. They're sooo light and grind so smooth.

Never tried the regular lights, but I have the polished Team edition and the Hollow Lights. They're simply not as good.

Did niggeranon ever find a camera?

I just found this video and it looks cheap as heck for what you're getting.

Is San Francisco's climate literally perfect for skating? No snow, average low never really drops below 40 degrees, moderate rain in the winter (but not enough for it to be an issue), and it never gets sweltering hot like AZ.

>>965998
It's better than LA, that's for sure.

>>965998
If only the rent wasn't so stupid.

Living in Russia I'm isoleted from some main events and news in skateboarding world.So I have these questions , hope you could explain it to me:
1.What happened between Jereme Rogers and Koston? I know there was some disagreement on tweeter. but why?
2.Any news about Mike Mo?I check his facebook almost every month but still There is no information about his recovering.Is he going to make a comeback?
3.Is that true that all decks are made in China and almost in the same factory?

>>965998
I mean it would be nice if the rent wasn't stupid high and being an /o/utist as well means that hill starts are unavoidable.

>>966022
Mike mo is doing okay, he said he's about 90% but he claims he wants to wait until he's 100% to really jump back into skating. I feel so bad for him, he literally said that he just laid in his bed and couldnt do anything.

That's coming from a dude who knows quite a bunch of sponsored peeps, sales rep, crews like Dime... I even worked in a skateshop that isn't core, but filled with so called "core" dudes

Would like to start skateboarding again.

>>966314
lol, why are you so butthurt bro?

>>966326
Never tried

On a personal not, i've been exclusively skating Girl/Chocolate(occasionally a deathwish or baker when they weren't any Girl or Chocolate with the dimensions i want)

I've been skating indoor with a Heroin Gou Miyagi

Shit has pop and rigidity for days

I really consider making the switch but i'm too attached to Girls and Chocolates

>>966326
I had the one with the Sloane graphic, very good and had a nice pop to it. Though they are niche and your local might not carry them

>>966338
Really?

I dunno man i love their boards, perfect for the way i skate when i get 8" X 31" 5/8 with a nice mellow concave

The only Chocolate deck i hated was a Vincent Alvarez playboy trunk boyz bullshit graphic

Ended up focusing the board on my own because it was the most awkward board ever(not to mention i figured that it was exactly 1 inches longer than what i usually skate)

>>966345
Instead of spouting anger fueled bullshit this hard, why don't you take the time to relax and think about why your sperging out this badly

You know what they say about projection? It's stemmed from insecurity to attribute our own negativity to a specific target

>>966371

>>966358
Crailtap decks are pressed in China, but whether the quality of the wood is good or bad is up to the person skating the board.

>>966372
You're hopeless.

Ahh yeah, Ryan Lay footy.

>>966358
Dude, I feel ya. I'm also addicted to chocolate/girl, my last board was a girl and i'm currently skating a chocolate. I'm obsessed with the shape, nice and round, preference wise I hate pointy shaped boards. Round is my perferred shape. Also, my friend snapped his girl board like the second day he got it, but i'm not sure if that says anything because he has literally snapped almost all the boards he owned, he isn't even fat, he is just a really heavy foot lander.

The spoon wide nose with a slightly pointier tail all with a mellow concave is my dream board(8inches x 31inches 5/8)

I snapped a couple of chocolate in the first 2 weeks i had them but never had to deal with this issue with Girl's

>>966424
That's gnarly! You're also spot on with Girl's tails

Well if it helps, i've developed this weird habit years ago which at the beginning was a way for me to get used to roll switch. Ended up always doing that and it GREATLY helps scrape as less as possible the tail

>i always run and put myself in switch stance when i'm hoping on my board
>if i want to break, i pull a fat powerslide instead of using my tail as a brake

Don't have issues with razor sharp tails because i always end up dnapping my boards before it gets critical

Can Skateboarding or Roller Blading be considered good form of transport for short trips around a city?

>>969000
depends, if you have a place to stash your board at your destinations, sure. otherwise it will get old quick having to worry and lug a board around 24/7.

>>969000
When I lived in lincoln I longboarded literally everywhere
drove maybe once a week

>>966022

The wood is canadian maple bur the pressings are done in china then redistributed to the bigger companies for the graphics and whatnot

>>969192
depends on the distributor. Dwindle imports canadian maple to Asia and does pressing and graphics there. Some smaller distribution places do all work in the usa, some have shops in mexico. Making skateboards isn't the specialty that it used to be, metric shit on of shops all around the world doing it. And not even decks. For a few thousand dollars you can easily set up your own skateboard brand for every part.

>>968652

there's stock in the UK for fuck sake, look harder

It'd be cool to see new tricks down the gap, but i agree.if berra wanted to put a contest on he should've gone for permits like Thrasher does. It's a shame that the mayor has done a good thing for the philly locals and they can finally skate in peace, and now the berrics has ruined it.

>>972790
>that shit would not fly in my park

>>972202

That looks like a big ass deck and wheels. What does he ride?

So now the jaws footy is out, what does everybody think?

My thoughts, Jaws is insane. He didn't use a roll in, he just used the spot. It's obvious he has to grab too. Dissapointed with boulala's interview now, jaws didn't kook it at all.

Thrashers video is awful. Who the fuck brings champagne to a spot? That redneck dude yelling ruined it, and he ruined the footy by running into the shot before jaws fully rolled away. It's so jocky and bro-ey it spoils it. It's skateboarding not the superbowl. So cheesy. I was expecting a U-S-A chant to break out.

The youtube comments make me embarrassed to be a skateboarder.

Definately a fan of jaws now though. Guy took some insane hits but kept hucking himself. Respect.

>>972897

I don't even look at comments on yt vids anymore, the revive/braille fans refuse to stay in their lane and chat their kooky bullshit on every skate related video now. Crying over a skate trick, really?

>>964274

What the fuck does go early or go burly mean

>>972897
Yet he still getting hate, anyone who throws themselves down the Lyon set should get some respect. It's 14 feet 9 inches tall by 22 feet long, that fuckin scary.

>>972871
Looks like 8.5 for sure. Don't know about wheels, maybe 54-56

>>973011

People aren't hating on the trick itself, they are hating on how it's been done.

>>973062
...which was with Jaws wearing pads underneath his clothes. And I don't mean elbow and shin pads.

But personaly I don't like this kind of skating imho it's exremely stupid and pointless to put youself in such danger I'd prefer to see some technical tricks on smaller stairs and gaps.But it is only my opinion, maybe I just don't get it Hamokifans don't be mad.

What? I only saw that Thrasher video. Am I missing something?

Jaws sucks but that shit was Gnarly as fuck. respect to the dude.


He seems to naive to realise he's stunk the set up though. This shit is either phelp's or birdmans fault.

Clint Walker can fuck off though, i bet french fred and ali were wetting their pants at watching clint turn a cool trick into the ending of the mighty ducks movie.

it's the opposite really. Bakerboys and berrics fans shit talk enjoi, elephant skateboards, shredquarters, mike v, braille, tony hawk, rodney mullen, etc. If you do a trick that doesn't count for a Berrics^TM game of skate its not a " real trick". If you post a video of you having fun with friends they accuse of trying to pose as the greatest skater of all time and say come back when you do those tricks over a gap like jaws.

>>972935
go early = best time for noobs / chill skate is off peak hours, typically early mornings for most parks
go burly = if your going at peak / crowded hours prepared not to be a pansy.

>>973725

>>973869
I'm guessing it's because he did some grab variation down the "holy" Lyon set. And in today's modern skating, grabs aren't a real trick even though Natas made them popular in the 80's.

http://www.jenkemmag.com/home/2016/02/08/ali-boulala-on-losing-his-25-stair-legacy-to-jaws/

>

And before he started trying it on the last day I was standing up there, talking to him. And I asked if he was going for the “grab” and he was like, “Yeah I think so,” and then at that point I was actually for the first time feeling something like ahh man.. Because deep inside I was kind of hoping that he would go for the regular ollie. I don’t know. Of course it’s just as hard, but it is kind of a different trick you know? Like I said, I was hoping that he would just try to ollie it because in the end it’s two different tricks. But who am I to tell someone what they can or can’t do? But hey – he rolled away from it and I didn’t so…

>>973892

When i've started learning how to go down ramps some months ago.

At the end of the ramp I was putting my weight back. After falling 4 times my wrists fucking hurted and hit my quadriceps on the floor hard. My leg still hurts.

However i've learned it and learned to drop. Some kids at the park also helped me.

Next step is dropping from Pic Related. I think i'll wait a bit desu.

>Riding at night
Pic related was also my first night at the park. Now i only go there at nights and stay till like 3am with friends. The night is the most awesome think ever.

Maybe either Jake Phelps, owner of thrasher magazine, a popular west coast publication, or Tony Hawk, owner of birdhouse skateboards, pushed Jaws to do it because it would be just so super swell and totally awesome!!!! but really because they want to sell magazines/birdhouse videos.

I mean look at him when he first meets Ali, Boulala is death-staring him but the kid is clueless. Looks like my 2yr old nephew when you give him a toy.

If you're going to skate an infamous spot, you've got to at least one up the skater who made it famous.
Should've ollied or not bothered.

>>974167
should have firecrackered it

>>974170

That would've been rad. somebody call Beagle

>>974167
Is it cause grabbing it is easier than ollie or is ollieing stairs sort of a tradition? (I'm obviously a noob to skating)

>>974177

Iit's easier to land stuff down big sets if you grab.

It's all subjective though man, if you think it's the best thing ever good for you. It's just not for me.

grabs are considered passe

they're only cool if you're doing a boneless while simultaneously rolling up
a) to a 20 stair
b) a joint
c) your trousers

grabs are way harder than ollies and as we all know, if you're trying, you're trying too hard

>>974204
Thanks mane, and there isn't any indoor parks within 1 hour of my house. I live in small town southern ontario so our towns aren't a whole lot.

Lovely, Toy Machine is one of my favorites.

Yeah it's the first board where I put some real money into finding a nice one I like. Even though it'll get probably get thrashed up over some time.

True, I like this one way more. I always remember the first one because of that fucking board between the legs trick. After watching the skate videos I had on VHS as a kid, watching them on youtube doesn't do them full justice of the quality because people upload in like 480p

>>974037
nah man, wheels of fire was pretty generic. The real street part of Natas was two years later, Streets of Fire, and not the one you 'll find in youtube billed as his part, but the real street part, with the spin and all.
But watch Speed freaks, he has a trick there, won't spoil it, but if you see it, now that you have a perception of timelines, it will leave you bald.

>>974262

>>974143
I mean there is going to be some overlap since they are both 21st century skateboard media but I don't think the fan bases are the same. Revive and Braille are more rookie friendly, teaching people to skate,and just being goofy while the berrics is more of homage to shredders and tech guys from the 00's and the people who want to skate like them. I mean I haven't hung out with younger people and shit in a few years so maybe the fanbases have merged over the years but at least from when I was watching the berrics get big in the early years they were a much different vibe from what shredquarters & friends is now.

>>974388
True, I thought about that after I posted. It's more technical skateboarding.

>>974391
my good man, freestyle is the uterus of technical skateboarding.

What Gou Miyagi does is being an individual on a skateboard. Some may like it, some may not, but they can skate however they like.

Remember me guys? I popped my knee like 3 threads ago.

It finally "healed" (I can walk normally, no limps) but it kinda still hurts to bend.

Tried to ollie and fucked myself up. Yay.

how do you feel when you see people skating in nike, adidas, and now new balance shoes?

I've been weaing DC all my skate life and I just picked up some addidas cuz im on an addias kick right now.

They're way better than I expected, not as positive as a pair of DC's but very grippy.
