I was like you guys once and an avid sk8ter boi, you'll get over it eventually once you're mature enough(mentally) and find a hobby much more sophisticated and stylish than flipping a fucking popsicle stick while hanging out with smelly cunts watching Dylan Rieder(some dead hipster who based his entire personality and aesthetics around a hack like Charles Bukowski) and wearing Palace(another cunt brand whose creator watches Trainspotting twice a day).

Newest lurknyc installment of Mean Streets just dropped. I have no desire to ever move to NY or try to skate in that city, seems hectic as fuck.

Austin Augie is pretty /fa/. And he's dating a model so that's decent cred

>>12685378
Let me guess, you're 22 and your brain is 22 and you think you're so mature getting drunk in cool places and smoking with cigarettes. Eat a dick dude. When you're actually mature you'll realize actually cool people do things they like and don't really give a fuck what morons like you think. People find skating enjoyable. It allows them to enjoy life. Sorry you're missing out.

Skateboarding is pure cringe when you're no longer a teenager.
That said, my favorite skater was always Arto Saari and he's actually /fa/ as fuck

>>12685678
I don't think I'm cool either, I just know I don't have the mental maturity of a 16-year-old. Maybe if you spent more time studying and less time skating, you could get your AA in 4 years instead of 3! Or maybe that 25-cent raise at Panera will come soon!

>>12685720
What the fuck does mental maturity have to do with riding a skateboard? Why do old people ride bikes?

>>12684201
30 and been skating for 18 years. Don't listen to the haters. It's been what's allowed me to connect with people no matter where I live or what background theyre from. It's no different than music or art in that way, except that it's not made for outsiders to understand. So don't be surprised when they don't. Stop skating only when it stops being enjoyable.

Longboarding is worst right?

r8 my designs?

i just started skating but i'm so enamoured by the artistic element of it––you can wear anything, ride anything, do anything with your own mannerisms which culminates in your own unique style. plus you view the urban environment completely differently, it's odd. reminds me of when i first started writing

>>12684358
similar veins of logic are present in tattoo threads. and in careers threads there's a lot of "the only effay career is one that earns over 100k" talk. i don't necessarily agree or disagree (i'll wait til i'm 25 before deciding i fucked my life up)––but it's interesting to think that a good portion of /fa/ really does care about getting into the high class

anons have you ever met a rich (not through artistic means) folk that you liked? maybe i'm a fox without a grape

Do you guys think wearing skate brands is un/fa/, even if you skate? in an industry where brands are so integral, I feel like it can be hard to differentiate between: is this a cool hat, or is this a cool guy that will look cool regardless, wearing a brand that gives him money? I mean it sort of goes back to wearing any branded clothing. Most of the time I hate the idea of broadcasting a company to people, but at the same time it feels cool to represent your interests.

How do I get into skating? I need some new hobbies and it looks fun.

Also is 20 too late to start

>>12688006
Buy a board and go to the skatepark

Im 20 myself and its not too late to skate. You most likely won't become pro because there is a learning curve and I feel its easier on your body when you're younger, but you can still have fun. Theres a 63 year old that comes to my local park and always skates the bowl. He has a few grandchildren (a girl and two boys) he brings too that he has been teaching too skate. One of them is 6 and can already kickflip and ollie the 8 set.

Speaking of NYC, I just moved in to do a PhD and I don't know if I have the balls to skate here, I'm used to skating in suburb areas or campuses where you can just loiter by a stairset or curb the whole day and practice.
It seems in the city everything is more confrontational: people yell at you if you skate in certain spots, it's crowded, and everyone can watch you.
No ability to sit in a spot and practice is gonna fuck me up lol I can't even shuvit reliably anymore

Woah, so cool, we filmed are skate video with a vhs camera! Haha, yeah, we didn't go out and buy some fancy new camera. We just don't care about it that much haha. We just used what we had lying around. That's why we went out of our way to find a working vhs camera and purchase tapes for it, then went through the trouble of turning it digital. We don't care that much, we're casual. Man, this footage looks so cool and vintage! My friend makes awesome trap beats on soundcloud. Maybe we can use some of his music for our video. Would be dope. Oh, did you notice my pants by the way? Yeah, they're cropped. Haha, I just don't care. I just don't care haha.

>>12688248
It's actually an iphone app that makes it look like footage from an old camera. Also, based on your post, i think there's a little more going on here than you simply disliking skaters.

Nice strawman, faggot.

>>12688067
Thanks just replaced the grips, I thought I'd try for a military scheme with the green and grey but I honestly thought they sort of looked gross once I got them on, but I'm coming around. They just sort of clash with the light blue decals but if they don't hold up any better than the stock ones I can try a new color in three months. It was pretty unbelievable how much the new grips helped. The old ones wore all the way off but even new they were nothing like my new ones. Everything about the bike feels better with them, it's pretty crazy. Might be worth thinking about for a cheap of any upgrade grips are. Mine are S&M Hoder btw.

Model is a Verde Vex. I was real close to going to the kink gap? I think. Whichever their 21" complete is.

Keep some cash saved up if you need to snap up one of their bikes above the $300 mark. They have some pretty good complete setups going on.

I personally wanted to go with Fit or Cult but their stuff is definitely pricier, even for the entry level models.

where can the lana board be copped, anon?

>>12688273
Learn some fucking slides dude

>>12688377
i think he customized them all himself

theres a few sites where you can design or just put a random image on a board for only like $60 shipped.

I made one on boardpusher.com

Honestly, having your own one of a kind board you designed>>>> some random pro model from the skateshop for the same price

I skated mine and it lasted me about a month during the summer, which is about how long they normally last me when I'm skating almost everyday

Actually might design one to hang in my dorm room or something.

Every company can do boardfeel. Impact protection and durability while retaining boardfeel is the holy grail of skate shoes. Just copped the adidas velcro matchcourts. Should be coming today so We'll see whats up.

Fucking this
Emericas have been my shit because of this, their cupsole models have that exact balance going on. Recently got some Numerics and they feel like they could work pretty well like that as well but we'll see.
The new Vans ultraranges look like they might be good like that too, walkers and crocketts were more on the boardfeel side but still had decent impact protection and durability. Regular Vans are amazing straight out of the box but they will be garbage in two weeks.

This guy is a very /fa/ skater, definetely not the best, but his skating clips are so stylish and he wears expensive streetwear

Yeah i do atleast. Deck rails or rib bones. They're for doing board slides when you can't grease a ledge. And old dudes will get pissed at you if you wax up coping on a pipe or a bowl for obvious reasons. but it's just kind of common sense not to be at that. I mainly use them for grabs though. It feels nicer to grab onto.

Or you can spend 60-80$ on a pair of proper suede shoes with a good insole and toecap and they'll last at least 6 months.

Because Im not american. The board alone was around $120, the trucks and wheels were about $160 after conversion and shipping (one pair of trucks from an online store here would have been $85. each.)

most of the skate stores here have shut down, there's only owner run little niche places and they can he horrendously expensive, since they're all importing. If you want anything decent you have to import it yourself so you avoid the store mark up. I either have to go Euro or America and American generally has cheaper prices, but still get cucked on that conversion.

Yeah that's what I was thinking when I saw his face and realized he's asian. I've seen a lot of asians around my campus wearing thrasher/skateboard related clothing in order to look hip.

These people should just stop making up excuses and learn AT LEAST how to cruise around on a skateboard, that way you are "one step" above posers.

Just go to school yard or park or tennis courts or parking lot with nice concrete and skate around, get comfortable on your board, and start practicing ollies and progress from there. it's not that hard, you just have to swallow your pride and look like a loser in public. skate with music and have fun. also i dunno where you live, but skating to and from friends houses really helped me get more comfortable on my board.

I love antiheros wood and graphics but their concave is too steep for me. I had to switch back to primitive.

IMO, I feel like those videos really opened up to me BMX as another down-to-earth form of cruising around the city from spot to spot like skateboarding (and arguably with more distance and terrain options within your grasp).

Beforehand it sorta existed at the corner of my eye as those goofy little bikes trashy dudes would ride to hang out in front of a gas station, or something. However, I guess it can be said a lot of people view skateboarding in that same vein without knowing what the community really is like.

I started skating at 14.
Stopped around 24 due to depression and losing interest in absolutely everything.
Always dressed in "the skater style", still do at 30.
I can't see myself wearing anything else.
I also don't give a fuck what anyone else thinks about it... I like it, I feel comfortable, I get complimented on my style on occasion... so fuck it.

seriously, go to a park a have some fun. you'll feel self conscious at first, but people seriously dont give a shit if you suck. if youre too self-conscious to have enjoy it, find a ditch and try to learn to kickflip

Yeah for some reason bmx seems even more lame to people who aren't involved with it than skating (maybe because long boarding is popular with a preppier crowd). I even felt this way before I got into it.

But you're right when you see augie fucking around in ny or John hicks just going out everyday and riding around in perfect LA you sort of see it from a different perspective.

When I tell people I recently got into bmx I usually get the same series of sarcastic questions: oh you ever take it off any sweet jumps? You got pegs? It's whatever though, they are missing out but it's kind of a bummer skating and bmx is seen in such a different light than other recreational activities.

Shit, I always had this idea that skateboarding was somewhat popular over there. Give it time anon, maybe everyone will jump on it once the olympics start and get all psyched watching nyja screw up a trick and cry.

>Shit, I always had this idea that skateboarding was somewhat popular over there.
depends on the town. But like everything over here its expensive, our cost of living is very high because import costs. Thats the issue with living so far away from the rest of the world. Even if it becomes popular it will still be pretty expensive.

I'm probably better off taking a vacation to Aus and buying up over there, but now that Ive got the initial set costs out of the way I dont need to buy anything.

theres a drop through board I want, but even then its $300AUD for the complete, but its only 190 USD if you buy it from America. You see? We get cucked fucking hard. 190 USD to AUD is only 239. They mark it up.

>>12698104
Just get the deck, but only if you really like the look of it. Goldcoast boards are shit. Their trucks bend easily, and the wheels are notorious for having poppy cores.

Get Caliber trucks and some Blood Orange wheels instead with the deck, it'd look the exact some, and ride much, much better.

>>12685720
I think skatings boring too but come on man you're acting like a bitter autist with no friends..

Id rather not get it at all in that case Any rec on some good drop through long boards that are nice and wide?

>>12698371
If you want to stay in the same color scheme, then get a Prism, although they don't have dropthroughs in their premium lineup.

If you want a dropthrough that's shaped functionally and which will last forever, then get a Rayne.

>>12698356
skateboarding is, always has been, and always will be an edgy hobby. You may not contribute to the image associated with skateboarding but the mass mindless majority will be. The best place to score drugs in my small town is the local skatepark. People will approach you while you skate.
