Laying in bed so fug you. But here's my leg

Pants rarely fit unless I go up a size or two

right leg only slightly bigger than my left, not noticable at all, but the bigger muscles do hinder pants from fitting well though

Does anyone skate in raw denim? Does it help or make the fades look weird

>>10587511
well, the point was to compare the both legs but thanks anyway

Is writing shit on your griptape /fa/?

>>10587337 I try to ride switch when pushing myself from place to place to avoid this. It's a good way to learn switch stance if you haven't already.

>>10587592 I skate in raw denim all the time, and I would say that doing so does speed up fades. Idk why it would make the fades look weird?

>>10587754
Writing on your griptape is normal.

Is focusing your board /fa/?

>>10587754
I write SHAKE JUNT on my griptape

lotta people have copied me i might start suing

>>10587779
What kind of raws do you use? I'm afraid of not being able to get rid of the smell after skating in them (I get major butt sweat kek)

>>10588226
Unbranded, they really don't retain smell that much, and when they do smell a little weird I just spray them with febreeze

>>10589462
gross

>>10588190
focusing a board is the lamest thing you could ever do.

>>10589542
What is gross? The brand or the fact that they don't need to be washed that much?

>>10589614
if your pants "smell a little weird" it's gross.

>>10591642
i'm at an 8.0 with size 10.5 shoes and thinking about going up to an 8.125 or 8.25

>>10592356
Don't. Fat decks suck. I'm ~ an 11 foot and wouldn't compromise on a board that's a mm wider than 8.

>>10591642
I'm not too picky so i ride anything between 7.75 and 8.5 usually i stay in the 8s tho

current deck is 8.375

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could help me with something while this thread still lives. i'm in need of a new skate shoe, I usually skate TNT5s dipped in pink paint overnight, which look amazing, but they're about to die and I need a change. I need something kind of avant-garde looking, not just an average sneaker. What do you guys think of these new HUF models?

riding an 8.5. bigger boards are great for board control, but a lot of my friends agree that its harder to skate flatground but i dont have a problem with it. bigger boards are great for transition and i feel like they help improve style

>>10597866
Skating and fashion are well accepted as art forms (among skaters) so wouldn't that give justice for skaters to want to dress a little cool?
Anyways This is the least to care about in skateboarding
Vans literally advertises their shit to people who don't skate and its bugs the fuck out of me

>>10600070
I had wider decks before and when I switched back to a popsicle my kickflip and heelflip improved a lot but the shaped board made my thigh muscles uneven so my jeans fit weirdly now top kek

>>10600235
>Vans literally advertises their shit to people who don't skate and its bugs the fuck out of me

why does a skateboarding company trying to make money and survive bug you?

>>10600401
They don't even support the community in any way man except for some skateparks they built
Just because they have a long history with skating doesn't mean much when they're barely providing shit right now
They made a skating video but how long did that take?

I understand that they branched out in order to survive and I accept that but they should at least give back to the skating community in some way
For example Nike made a skate spot legal which prevents skaters from getting out of trouble and gives the community a better reputation
Levis is good too for making the first park in India that doesn't have to be paid to get in and for stuff in Oakland

>>10600401
also, they make you pay to get into their parks
I understand if a city's park does that but a brand like vans? Smh senpai

>>10600465
Well if you had posted that I wouldn't have disagreed but you didn't. you got upset they marketed to non skaters.

But they are "giving back" probably as much as other core companies. It's not like they have nike bucks or something. And it's not something I really expect out of a skate company in 2015(or care about really)

Even for their skate shoes, Vans quality has gone to shit. They are cutting corners EVERYWHERE, like canvas side panels on shoes that used to be all suede (i.e. Sk8 Hi Pro), etc.

Every single pro model is suede+canvas mix now. Only the Era Pro and Rowley Pro has 1 colorway each that is all suede.

WTF

>>10600501

Thanks for the info.

>>10600465
>sponsors ton of skaters
>puts out clips and movies
>holds events and contests

Vans does more to skateboarding than you ever fucking will

>>10600501
Well, I don't think their quality was ever all that great. in my time of skating i've barely worn em to skate in. plus van Doren's food bill really takes a big piece of their budget

I just don't really care that they try to make money by marketing their shitty shoes.

>>10600507
Yeah, I gotta say, giving money to AVE, Crockett, Chima, TT, Andrew Allen, Daniel Lutheran buys them a fair bit of good will from me.

I still think their shoes aren't very good but hey.

>>10600496
I expect more from vans since it labels itself as skateboarding

>>10600528

why would you ever start pushing mongo

>>10605373
plenty of pros push switch mongo

>>10605400
Kek, whatever you say

>>10605737
I don't get the issue: The problem with mongo is that it looks awful; some peoples switch push looks worse than their switch mongo push

therefore switch mongo is perfectly alright. Gino, the guy with the sexiest push of all time has been filmed pushing switch mongo. I rest my case.

>>10606078
I'm sure Gino only pushed mongo once, and that was in the Yeah Right! video.

Not the guy youre responding to but....

I might be in the minority here, but I just cannot get into full movies that are filmed with VX (or stuff from the same era). I get using it for certain shots, or for edits, but if youre trying to film an entire video, and be taken seriously use fucking digital.

That being said,i can get behind people using it creatively, like Bronze and Palace.

sorry you guys just copped your first $130 complete from Zumiez. i know the skate culture is cool and all but trying to assimilate into it as an outsider is impossible. we pick you kooks out faster than anybody.

enjoy your hugbox though, maybe you guys would fit into reddits skateboarding board too kek

Which one, /skate/?

>>10616530
Have the 5boro deck on the right and I quite like it. Very solid and the shape is nice.

>>10616645
Nice. How much would you say the shape differs from a regular Popsicle? It's hard to tell from the flat picture, but it definitely looks subtle.

>>10616813
It's pretty different IMO, I am still able to do switch tricks and what not on it but the tail in particular seems to be much more pronounced than the nose. The tail being so large almost makes the board feel shorter than it is. I have really enjoyed riding it though, just ordered a new smaller 8.1 setup though, going to continue to use mine as a cruiser/vert setup.

Does inline still have as bad of a reputation as it used to?

>>10616908
yes

>>10614514

>>10614514
Def regular, the slims looks strange and die soon

I've been skating since age 7 and I actually highly agree with this guy lol, reading through this thread you can't help but cringe. Get good... and then consider style. Spending money on skate clothing or skate accessories doesn't make you a skater. Going for companies like Palace, Bronze, FA, etc. doesn't make you a skater. "Skate fashion" means nothing, fuck off and pose as something else.

>>10616530
had the 5boro, really good deck, was skating a lot of shapes before it... closest to a popsicle I had for awhile, was trying to slowly ease back into popsicles as shapes were getting lame for me. Check out Solitaire Skateboards for a good, cheap shape (he sends you more than one deck if you're a returning customer, really awesome dude) my friends company out of Cali, don't pay for the brand or graphic, that's fake shit.

>>10619056
Fuck the fuck off poser

>>10614587
>not riding indies
>pink wheels
jesus christ

>>10619464

Help me /skate/ i'm tired of walking across campus i'm ready to be that douche bag that skates to class. How do i start? What a good priced complete cruiser or normal board?

>>10619663
get a penny board friend :^)

>>10619680
if only i was i was a manlet like you i would be able to

Beginner question here:
Im pretty new to skating and have been using my board from like 7th grade. I want to get back into it but im not sure what size deck to get. Like I said im not good and would never really be at skate parks. Im also a 5'11 130lbs skelly with 10.5 US shoes.
I know I then want a smaller board but what size constitutes small? thanks

>>10619690
cop the board you posted a picture of.

>>10619691
stick around 8, 8.25 friend

>>10619484
materialism? you're losing out on quality, moron

>>10600015

Big plastic cruiser master race. I changed the wheels for black wheels.

I started skating roughly 2 weeks ago but haven't had the time to start skating a lot and i keep getting a mild pain in my left ankle after pushing alot.
Anyone had the same issue when starting skating or any advice?

>>10620598
My advice is not to skateboard if you really find the need to ask such a stupid question. Anytime you start using a part of our body in a way it is not used to its is going to take a while to adjust. I used to play footy everyday, and every time I brought a noob friend by the end of the session their ankles would be so sore that it would hurt to unlock it.

>Get good... and then consider style. Spending money on skate clothing or skate accessories doesn't make you a skater.

agreed

I've been skating for 10 years, way before everyone started dickriding supreme and odd future but seriously, you're gonna call me a poser for liking a video??

bronze consistently put out videos that are more creative and fun than most other companies that use super slomo, ultra HD, and bullshit special effects. I'm bored of it, skating has always been about creativity and style.

every single fucking company pushes a certain 'image' through their board graphics, videos, and the skaters they sign, think about it

>>10618628
They're the highs from Huf x Thrasher collab.

>>10591642
8.25, reckon I'll stick with that size for a while, works well with my 149 indys.

>>10593600
Skating this exact pair right now. They're okay, could use more support in the insoles obviously, but they're grippy and have good flick, good sized sole and everything.

I finally got some Busenitz after lusting for them for years, and they fucking suck. Such a let down. Might be fine for a bigger dude who wears more baggy pants (Busenitz), but I'm not that dude.

>>10594888
how much you pay for those supreme indys, faggot?

>>10619275
truuuu aye skate life we in here!! all this longboard talk in these threads makes me wanna puke

Skaters are the whiniest people when it comes to their pastime, get over yourself.

>>10619663

I have a Landyachtz Dinghy, it gets the job done. Pretty cheap too.

Other than that go look at Sector 9 and Santa Cruz cruisers.

Also here, have some weeb inspo videos:

People need to calm down, a sport or your clothing doesn't define you as a person. If you want to join a subculture that's fine. If you just want to dress like that subculture that's also fine, but don't be surprised when people think you are disingenuous for doing that.

The obsession with brands in skateboarding is also beyond bizarre, just skate whatever setup works for you. Do you want to just cruise? Get a cruiser or a longboard. Do you want to do tricks? Get a typical popsicle, and if you are scared you will skating then just buy a blank so you don't feel bad about spending $80 on a deck.

A lot of the problems people seem to have here are solved really easily, but then again this is 4chan so it would be too much to expect someone not to sit in a thread for days shitposting.

>>10621182
Ty senpai just what i was thinking.

>>10599933
pppppppooooosssseeeerrrrrr

>>10622100
Who pays $80 for a deck

>>10622153

I'm Canadian, unfortunately that's what brand name decks cost up here now usually.

>>10622177
That sucks, I imagine buying a new setup is a pain.

>>10597866

>le skating is serious meme

>>10614356
buy regulare leather/suede ones, ones labeled "seasonal" have a harder rubber sole and just buy some skate insoles

>>10615515
Chomp on this of this era, AVE 4 SOTY also new Gino footy. all a round fun and the best thing to happen in a few years
