/skate/ general

I don't even skate anymore but it's the only way I know how to dress.
Vans or some other button up shirt
levis 514 jeans or some khakis
Nike Sb shoes

>>10626815
Hey Dante

>>10626847
sorry to disappoint

>>10626842
you should start skating again my man

>>10626842
I also can no longer skate, but keep on dressing the same, forever burnt into your brain, plus baggy shirts in summer are great (aus)

>>10626872
Also summer thread - Light/think skate shoes, make sure they have been skated in otherwise you are a poser.
- Possibly striped socks if its not stupidly hot
- Rolled chino shorts or sport/swimming trunks(speedo are the bomb)
- A t-shirt a size to large, low cut singlet(tank top)
- Sunnies that fit your head ofc
- Straw or boonie hat

>>10626842
At this point skateboarding fashion has pretty much been appropriated by normie hipsters so youre fine my man

Shoelace belt: /fa/ or nah?

>>10626908
depends how you rock it, dont rock it with a button up other than a flanno, baggy/ripped pants will suit it even more

>>10626815
Photo makes me miss living in Berlin.

>>10626908
its not meant to be /fa/ its so you dont hurt yourself haha

Anyone else think dill and fucking awesome is just some pretentious shit?

>>10627269
I've never really liked Dill all that much as a person but I like a lot of the people who ride for FA and Hockey so whatevs

Dill is so upriver

>>10626939
is that really why?
when i would skate i'd use it to keep my pants up since i always hated how belts felt

>>10627269
cool ass team, dill is kooky and kinda trashy though lol

>>10627281
its so the belt buckle doesnt hurt you while landing

>>10627279
He calls himself a downriver guy

>>10627661
that's probablh the most upriver thing to do tho

>>10626908
I doubt Heath still use a shoelace belt.

how do i get into longboarding?

you don't

There's a rumor that he has/had leukemia which is why he has been quiet for a while in terms of new footage. Sometimes he shows up to demos and stuff but doesn't skate.

I don't think he's confirmed anything so it's just rumors but, nonetheless, get well soon Dylan

I think its just a rumour atleast if he had done a chemo he would have lost all his hair


btw what do you guys think about his new Slip On?

>>10630756
I'm so fucking excited for his new slip on shoe! His Gravis slip on skated so well.

>>10630756
It's a nice throwback to his days on Gravis.

>>10630756
You don't necessarily lose all your hair and it does grow back after treatment sessions plus something has to explain why he hasn't been skating. Could just be a regular old injury but who knows.

>>10626842
At that point there's no excuse to wear ugly shoes anymore

Being upset at nike sb at this point is total kook behavior right? Like who cares they got a dope team (they got kooks too but the kooks help pay the dope guys so it's a wash).

Muh authentic true sk8 heroes skate and destroy. fuck off u like supreme.

>>10633069
Shut up Nyjah

only ever cruised around- trying to actually learn how to skate now. Any tips for learning how to Ollie? Just spent 3 hours trying to pick it up and don't really feel like I've made any progress.

Calm down Shane

>>10633092
No shit it's GT

>>10633102
I actually kinda like Shane! his Thrasher cover next month is crazy.

I just don't get criticizing seriously dope skaters for trying to make many through skating.

>>10633042
Guy and Koston left Girl as well

>>10633112
>I just don't get criticizing seriously dope skaters for trying to make many through skating.
Crailtap is skater-owned, Nike is a corporation. For every dollar a Nike rider makes, Nike is making 15.

>>10633069
>fuck off u like supreme

Berra please go

>>10633116
Dammn, Geoff left Flip couple weeks ago.

>>10633122
Crailtap also makes sub-par product.

>>10633122
That is all well and good but crailtap can't and won't support all the skaters in the world. So, where do we go from there?

>>10633129
Also, yeah the idea that we should blindly support crailtap is laughable

i bought a CK girl deck last year and it sucked shit

>>>/asp/

>>10626815
just bought a new hookups cruiser cuz none of my friends actually skate (they all longboard) and i wanted to be able to fit in wit them heheh. currently skating a chocolate deck with venture trucks (the goat imo) and bones. will post pics of any of my skate shit if someone requests

>>10626842
What does one do when they skate? Do they just do tricks in a parking lot? Do they go places? Which places would they go to?

>>10633129
The decks are China made but I don't think Loyalist really care.

Thrasher tees/hoodies are essential, especially if they're just black and white.

>>10636740
I want some thrasher shit, but I feel like you have to be pretty fucking good to wear their stuff.

>>10637244
I see thrasher hoodies more than any other skate apparel so I think you'll be fine. Also feel like people who wear thrasher hoodies almost always exclusively skate vans sk8 his and indys+bones and fucking shred so you may actually be on to something

>>10633015
what are these?

>>10637244
As long as you can, like, kickflip and are confident and won't fall down while cruising, a Thrasher hoodie is totally okay, I think.

>>10637244
i feel similar.
>>10637387
>>10638369
i dont know, i feel the same way as in, i wouldnt call anyone's shit for wearing a thrasher hoodie. but at the same time if you actually skate and follow skateboarding theres a level of proficiency you know you 'should' be at to rock thrasher shit full time

>>10638426
>>10638369
>>10637387
Well I'm subscribed to their magazine so im getting a tee no matter what.

>Your apartment looks like the one in Kids

His couch looks like the one in all those casting couch porno's that i've never seen and a friend told me about.

i used to skate. then i realized it was a kids toy and was way to old to be doing it anymore. i even stopped dressing the part also. just kinda got sick of it,but finding it hard to find a new style

>>10640345
kids toys are fun!

>>10640345
Sounds like you probably sucked and ate shit a whole bunch then gave up.

I'd like dylan rieder's style if not for a friend who's been half-assingly copying everything he does for like 4 years now. Dude carries his skateboard to campus but he NEVER rides it, and when he does, he doesn't do any tricks. I'm not even sure he actually knows how to.

He grew his hair out, buzzed it like a month after dylan did it, everything. I know he fucking adores dylan because he told me one time we were talking about skateboarding. But what makes me kek the most is everyone thinks he's so original and interesting because almost no one outside of the skate scene knows shit about him.

Dylan is a poser magnet, fuck fucking awesome and fuck huf it's all pretentious shit catered for pseudo-artistic hipster art school dropouts who lack any personality.
