Are you the darkie on the scooter at 1:22?
>>1378855
Fucking gutsy, hard skating. I like. I would've posted some more recent stuff but those vids are ones that I always liked as a youngin and stuff and popped into my head.
One week skated. Managed to make my first ollies.
I kinda like Primitive more now
https://youtu.be/JmbTln51Lzo
Aside from your 'local highschool kid who jumps straight into the tre' connotation, Primitive is actually pretty dope and in most ways better than DGK. I can relate more.
Go early or go burly: skatepark etiquette
How do you balance your weight when ollie? I keep most of it on front foot
>>1378847
good on you that you included our friend's playlist.
Even if you are that anon, it's still ok.
>>1378952
>2nd week: the locals are suspicious of me. I must practice harder. Appearing at the skatepark with a dildo was a bad idea as well.
jk bro, keep doing them and you 'll get better and more stoked.
but seriously, he's one coold skateboarder.
Did you watch his Woodward vert game of skate? Also, watch his 6-pack.
>>1379089
>watch his 6-pack
I meant the Independent challenge.
Sometimes skateboarding is about shitting in a van.
>>1378974
Primitive is more of a rich white boy brand, along side with Rip N Dip and Pizza.
I know this because I worked at Zumiez last year.

Does anyone know who makes the longest 8.5" wide decks. I'm looking for something longer than 33" preferably.
Anyone have that kyro scientologist image?
>>1378855
Whenever I watch this guy I just think about how much of a vapid asshole he is and I immediately stop caring. Call me a flower sniffing fuckboi, but watching people like cory kennedy, koston, or ishod actually makes me hyped because they look like therye having fun while doing rad shit. It's cool to care guys.
>>1379200
Try looking into Real. They make full shapes, last I saw was a 8.5x32.75

Are you the guy who boardslided and crooked the rail? Or the one who heelflipped the flat gap & blizzardflipped that skatepark box? I don't really like that style of filming/editing but I can't deny it was good footage and well done. Nice.
>>1379476
I'm the one you hate because of the filming and editing.
Anyone in South Florida willing to trade some Venture's for some Thunder hollow lights?
8 inch axle.
On way back from park good morning in Chicago weather wise
Also, are slipons any good for skating? I just trashed my old schools and I kinda want the MSTRMND Slipons
>>1379592
Vans Slip Ons? Only the pros. The rest are canvas and if they aren't, they rip by the elastic
I need to get one of those boards from you one day.
>>1379486
lol it was fine just not my fav style. keep it up
>>1379612
Fuck if the elastic is a problem spot then RIP (literally)
I guess I'll just reup on the Gilbert Crocketts

I think he meant to say post footage of yourself skating your board,
>>1378847
Hey op,why are skaters such edgy faggots?
Why are all of you such punk ass faggots?

No he went to jail because he beat up a pregnant woman and assaulted her vehicle when her other kids were inside. He says that she said something racist to him to start it but who knows. His hijinx while on baker contributed to his sentence but that's the crime he was sent away for. As far as I know guns had nothing to do with it but he got sent back again recently, maybe that time was for guns.
>>1380895
So a pregnant chick caught his fade?! LOL!!! That'd make a great deck graphic
>>1380904

Any of you guys like skating while drunk? I just skated drunk and it was so much fun.
>>1381163
Absolutely hate it
Same with weed
How do you guys cope with the fact that EA will NEVER make Skate 4?
>>1381170
Doesn't bother me, playing Doom and Overwatch is keeping me busy for now.
Also Persona 5 and hopefully FF15 will be available soon.
>>1381170
I have a 3ds, that's about it. Might get a ps4, kinda want to play Bloodborne
>>1381161
Lmao may aswell
>>1381170
Never played a skateboarding game.
>>1381184
Bloodborne. I got it one day on a whim. I knew what I was getting myself into.
But it turns out that I really didn't know what I was getting myself into. I thought I may need to get some BP meds
>THPS 5 was garbage
>EA refuses to make skate 4
it's all over guys ;_;
I remember hearing something about a PC skate game similar to EA's, anybody know the name?
>>1381198
>THPS5 was garbage
It was actually the same shit and better than the originals, you're just not a kid any more.
>>1381214
Interesting argument but it isn't correct
It's terribly glitchy and has none of the charm of the originals
and don't even get me started on the soundtrack
>>1380899
that would be cooler than this which was his last graphic but he got kicked off this company anyway I'm pretty sure
>>1381163
I did for awhile, but then I realized I slam more & harder when drunk or even just buzzed, so now I only skate sober (or stoned)
>>1381170
I'm actually pretty sure they are making skate 4....... I don't really follow that stuff because I don't really play games but I remember my friends saying earlier this year EAs twitter posted something saying they were working on it
visiting my local public park and overhear they're finally building the skate park downtown
>see this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffIfAtfo0BM
How does he do it

My most recent injury last year was heelflipping a 6 and primoing my heel directly onto the truck axel. Was wearing thin shoes and my heel was so bruised so bad i thought it was broke forsure.

WHERE MY ISRAELI SK8 LADS B AT?
I want Aaron Kyro to be my dad.
Johnny Jones from Chocolate is carrying a heavy burdain, first he has to make a birthday cake for someone else and watch their kids while it's his birthday, then he is recorded losing a trick to a pro at least ten years older than him.
He's 19 and flow, KOTR is like skate army for him.
>>1381282
Lucky
>>1381498
He's going to snap
>>1381555
he's also going to be am for chocolate, so i guess that's worth it

seriously?
>>1381626
Yeah, I wore a pink tee and skated around in 90 degree weather.
>>1379592
Anyone ever try the Lakai Owen? I would get a pair but the colours are awful
>>1381895
i haven't tried the owens, but from my experience lakais tend to get holes fast from the bottom
>>1381498
I thought the board flip out would be redepmtion for his stupid van ollie attempts, but he's striking out here guys.
>>1381498
To be fair, it's hard to compete with a stubborn guy like Clint.
>>1379089
from the thumbnail my immediate thought was that he was holding a gamecube disc
>>1381163
Every time I have friends over and get drunk I end up making them come out and skate with me in the parking lot down the street. I let them use my extra boards, none of them can really skate and they just push around but I always wanna skate when I get drunk. It feels amazing
They seem to have fun too though
>>1381163
I was at my combi yesterday fading hoegaardens and hitting the deep shit. Was a great sesh.
>>1381163
i tend to go faster when i'm drunk. i don't notice the difference in speed but whatever, still fun.
>>1381498
On the bright side, he got to bomb a hill with TNT.
>>1381600
I just hoped he would do the flip out, he was so close.
>>1379592
What the fuck laser? Do you skate with low achilles faggot?
Those are a 300~400€ shoes.
>>1382201
Some people take that shit so serious. There are like """""pros""""" for it and everything

>>1382278
Hopefully never

Literally no padding. If you primo you are dead.
anyone else skate in toms?

>>1382459
That's suicide
Really getting into Chocolate, these look dope.
just starting to skateboard this week and HO-LY FUCK it's exhausting. i can pull off ollies kinda well but im not consistant, the most i got was 4 in a row
>>1382631
same but I dont know how to progess now
I cant get the board under me when I pop shuvit or kickflip
it is always WAY in front of me
>>1382635
im probably not gonna bother with any of that until i get my ollies on lock down
>>1382644
yeah maybe I just need to get more comfortable landing on the moving board
>>1382565
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make but
>see kid shredding park and kind of struggling
>shredding
>struggling
wut
>>1382595
They look tight, I'm starting to like them as well.
>>1382147
I skate them when i have nothing else, only for travel. Dont do ollies in em or anything
>>1382459
Dylan Reider did for awhile
>>1382635
need to work on jumping your body forward a bit , not just flinging the board. with shuvs for example you always need to move your body at least 4" or so forward (the way your toes are pointing) to land back on it. You news to jump forward a bit to keep up with its rolling direction too
when i skate, the leg im not pushing with burns. am i doing something wrong?
I just put together my first complete and even after tightening the trucks it's still possible for the wheels to hit the board and throw me off. Is this what risers are for and should I get a pair?
Tried dropping the 5 today and I landed sideways on my ankle and rolled it hard. Wish I recorded it for your entertainment.
>>1382942
This wont be a factor you need to worry about if you're just starting out. Unless you're riding without bushings the wheels wont make contact with the board while riding.
>>1382908
You're not doing anything wrong, your body is just adjusting to riding. Plus the leg you're not pushing with is in a squat position.
I tried doing a bs 50-50 today, ended up with a bruised elbow and broken spirit.
>>1382942
Even with risers, wheel bite is going to happen.
>>1382942
Wax the underside of the board where wheelbite is happening and it won't be as big an issue. You might need to do it every few sessions
How much easier do flip/flat tricks become the more you learn? Can currently pop shove it and Ollie perfectly fine and learned both kinda quick but now feels like I've hit a wall. Trying to learn kickflips and 180's and found both pretty difficult
Alright everyone, its that one skateboarding noob from a few days ago whos the bigger guy and was asking all those questions.
tomorrow is the day I order my new deck, and I'm pretty set on an Impact board, probably going for a double, for that extra strength and some bearings so I can actually skate. Going for Reds with the bearings. I wish the impact boards had more choices for graphics though, but I'm thinking I'll grab the Youness or Willow one ( I personally love the Haslam deck but it's 8.5 and I think that's a tad too big even if I have giant feet)
what do you guys think?
>>1383149
If you don't live in the sticks go to a local store nearby so you can stand on a few decks and see how much space your feet have.
Also take advantage of asking the employees questions. Most know their stuff.
>>1383123
You will eventually be able to do 180s (in all stances) absolutely perfectly. Once you learn them, learning to power slide them without popping & no-comply them will help cement your motions to the point where they are completely dialed.
Flip tricks are different. Practice doesnt make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. There are flip tricks you might never get 100%. There are others you will. It has a lot to do with how much you struggle with learning them and which ones just work better for you. Hence why there are those kids who can treflip on their first day, for example.
For me I can do every flip trick but they take a lot of tries. But I can skate huge stuff, faster than most people, and strange obstacles and rails better than others. But even today when I see that dude at the park who isn't that great in general and skates real slow with a tiny board, I give respect because I'll never be able to do every fliptrick every time like him. People are just different
>>1383174
If only there was one close by, I think there's a Zumiez but I'm not a big fan of huge chain stores in terms of customer service in terms of hobbies (see : GameStop, Guitar Center). I'll have to take a risk I think
For an ollie airwalk do I push the board back down or let it fall down naturally with my feet catching it?
>>1381239
Skate 4 is never happening since the devs were shut down and ea never bought the rights
I done it boys, I dropped in for my first time today. I love the sound it makes when your wheels slam onto the concrete and you just roll away, it's therapeutic.
>not a huge fan of Revive boards even tho I see them shilled a lot
>see the new board line
>video game themed
>boner
fuck me I don't want to support that annoying ass dude Andy Shrock but fuck those boards look sick as fuck.
Find a flaw.

>I want him to develop muscles he didn't know he had
SO MANY TIMES
>>1383123
trust this, you 're going to see an open road whenever you are at an inspiring spot and once you realise, knowing how to ollie does not make your ollies higher.
Believe it or not, Skate 3 is STILL NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE ON THE XBOX ONE.
6 months and counting, are you guys really going to stand for this shit?
>>1383789
I don't get what's the point in playing a skateboard video game when you can just go out and skate the real thing?
>>1383815
>I don't get what's the point in playing a fighting game when you can just go out and punch on?
>>1383815
You've never played. It's literally so crisp and buttery, you'll never want to skate again.
The dual thumb stick control and elimination of Tony Hawk Tekken style combos is the true way to play a skate boarding video game.
I always play realistically and make some beautiful lines. I honestly prefer Skate 2 to 3, but 3 is the one they have announced as upcoming for next gen console. So, that's the one I have to dick ride at the moment.
>>1383848
>Skate 2 masterrace
Mah nigga
>>1382990
Risers still give you a tighter turn radius without biting the wheel first.
>>1382942
What I did is started with 1/4 inch risers for a while until I could get kick turning down, then took them off. I haven't bit the wheel after that, even when I'm carving the hardest I can.
If you think risers can help you, go ahead and buy them to try them out. They're like 4 bucks.
>>1383983
I should add, I find it easier to do tricks without risers, but if they help you get comfortable on your board before you start doing tricks and shit, then it'll be worth it.
>>1382943
A 5 drop is pretty tall for landing with your foot sideways. Make sure you didn't break your ankle or tear any ligaments and that it's just a roll.
>>1383332
Stoked for you bro! I finally figured out how to roll straight into bowls now and it feels so great. Getting that speed up. Here's to progress!
>>1383149
I have the haslam 8.5 and I love it. I use it as my pool board, but Ive done some tech shit on it. Im a size 13 btw.
How many of you guys smoke?
In my skate park pretty much everyone smokes (not everyone smokes weed though, only a couple of people). I'm probably the only person who doesn't.
Also which pros smoke, i don't believe they're all into healthy lifestyle.
>>1384203
I can move my foot, it's just really swollen and tender. I'll probably be fine.
ITS FUCKING HOT
>>1384288
A good amount of them do, McCrank and Duffman the only two I know who are against it
>>1384288
I smoke, it's relaxing if you're sweating up a storm and falling and need to take a break for a couple minutes.
>>1383566
I might, the zelda themed one is sick as fuck desu.
>>1379592
are those common projects
How do i stop liking pop shuvits.
It's the only trick i can do super high and land bolts, my kickflips are mobbed and low i often land primo or they won't rotate, even my ollies are nowhere near as consistent and good.
I enjoy doing pop shuvits so much i'd rather do them instead of fixing my flips. Halp.
How do I get my back foot to land on the board when doing a kickflip?
Used to have them down like 4-5 years ago but haven't skated since then and I can't get them back for some reason.
>>1384419
Move your weight on your front foot a bit. You might start landing on the nose if you do it too much, so you need to find a good balance.
>>1384497
Been icing it and some of the swelling went down and I can walk on it with slight pain. Just a sprain or a pulled muscle.
>>1384288
Cigs are gross, I prefer my herbs.
>>1383149
I would go for the Youness deck
>>1384623

Whats wrong with mallgrabbing a board?
Good fisheye lense for galaxy s6? Trying to film some basic tricks and lines and don't know what to go for. I don't wanna invest in a camera or anything. I've been looking at these two:

https://www.amazon.com/Apexel-Degree-Fisheye-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00XPM85UW
>>1384719
How tasteless of you
>>1384729
It's associated with kooks who buy their skate gear from mall chains.
I have yet to see anyone mall grab in person
lifting weights or doing manual labor I dont sweat even a fraction as much as I do skating for 30 min
wew
I would unironically wear one of those bomb squad suits to skate
then I could send it as hard as I want and if the board flys into my shins or I land head first I wouldnt even care
fuck having like 7 bruises on my ankles
>ey bro let's go skate like the good old times
>uhh nah dude I have to uhh help my dad with stuff
>see him playing Overwatch literally all day
send help
>>1384817

Hiro NEEDS to ban these autistic fucks from 4chan.
>>1383663
Thanks Skatekard guru, you've inspired me. enjoy your pot
>>1383301
Then just go to stand on boards so you at least know your size
>>1384729
The reason is because if you skate then your trucks are ground down and nasty so why would you touch them. Especially considering you could cut yourself or get metal flakes in your hand. Whereas if you don't skate your trucks are mint condition and are the perfect handle, thus kooks with perfect trucks will hold the board that way, whereas people who do skate will hold it by the board, plus it's easier to just throw down and ride when needed that way
>>1384729
Technically nothing? It was another way to hold the board and didn't get the negative connotations until the late 90s.
>>1384623
ok, now you 're overcompensating.
I 'm not against weed, as I 'm not against any substance, but quit trying too hard to prove how "beneficial" it is. If you like it, hit it and have the best time of your life, just quit doing the square thing, which is condemning smokers. Tobacco was used as early by american natives and don't give me the "not the INDUSTRY tobacco" lecture you 're literally smoking mafia grown (i.e. unregulated) shit and don't give me the "I know where MY weed comes from" bullshit either.
I'm on my way to Lyon to watch some football. Whiles I'm there I want to go and look at the 25 stair that jaws did. Anyone know the location?

>>1384729
nothing? grab it the way you want lol
anyone have experience with the herman g6? looking for a new shoe lol. it's either that or the vans 112.
What are the cheapest decks, aside from blanks, that are also decent enough?
>>1386392
Price point/logo decks, most brands offer them. It's basically the deck without the Pro's name on it.
>>1386392
A shop deck from your local shop should be $35
>>1386367
Its good, even over time it doesn't sag or loose its shape really. Downside is that the sole is very thin, I always end up having to put in 2 insoles after awhile, and I personally don't think the tread pattern is the best but its good enough. I'd choose it over vans for sure
What trick did you guys focus on after learning 360 flips?
>>1385748
Don't know what the hell you're howling about, but I simply don't like tobacco.
>>1386465
the 112 has the duracap tho. maybe i'll just get the g6 first and then try the 112 later on. thanks, dood!
>>1381163
was thinking about this yesterday like obviously yea it's fun but there's a sweetspot where it helps kinda (like w/ nerves, i go faster and always commit) and then obviously anything past that i just feel dehydrated and hurt myself
>>1386506
motherfucker I 'll kill you, you smug shit
>>1386461
Nah bro, I live in the third world. Local shop decks cost just as much as any other brand, same as blanks, for whatever reason.
Just interested in what brands you dudes buy and like to support for cheap.

That's not even a real trick, but it's called a caveman. Used to do them when I was trash and couldn't even shoveit still.
>>1386782
ey senpai i was just asking for some dudes opinion on these boards, i'm not advertising
>>1386789
No, you literally told people to check the new decks on your shit shop.

Anyone ever try out Lucky ABEC 3 bearings? They're 10 bucks at the shop down the road from me and I was wondering if they were decent bearings at that price
>>1386832
>>1386868
The ones with the 4 leaf clover? Skip it, I had those last year and they popped out my wheel 3 weeks in.
For $10, Spitfire cheap shots are a better deal

Would have been funnier if you said you'd nose slide it.
>>1387040
no fucking way
>>1386990
Shit, those are the bearings I got. They were only 10 bucks though, and I plan on going back for some Reds.
Took the board out for a spin though, rolled around a bit; definitely feels like it's my first time ever on a board again, even though I've rode my longboard just the other month. I gotta get used to pushing normal as opposed to mongo also...just tons of shit I've got to relearn it feels like. Kind of excited to see where I'll go from here I guess.
anyways, sorry for the blog post, here's a picture of the current board/set-up! All I can find on the board is that it's from some old company, Shuvit. not a fan of the 7.825 size though, and I plan to grab an 8.5 board soon, got to test a few out at Zumiez.

Holy fuck would I ever be paranoid of falling out and smashing those glass windows. Big phobia of mine ever since I was a kid and broke the drywall and my dad nearly beat my ass black.

>tell him they're shitty old ones that came with my complete
>he gives me a tube of "RocknRons super precision skateboard bearings"
>tfw actually met a few cool guys at the park and skating with them tomorrow
Twas a good day my friends, and the bearings actually spin pretty nice. I can coast for super long now.

they dont feel bad, and the guy at the store said they we're alright for riding around. Definitely not something I'm going to be sad about in the event of breakage, but I'mma use em for a bit to see how they are. I got new bushings also, the other ones were creaky as hell.

Hey guys so i stopped skateboarding when i was 15 due to a fucked up family. Anyway im 20 now and trying to pick it back up. I can cruise really really good. A good 6-8 kms a day but i cant seem to ollie well. Even stationary i can do maybd 2-3 feet and sometimes land but moving is just impossible for me. I know its not my board cause kids at the skatepark tried it out and according to them its actually very easy on my board. Do i just practice stationaries? I feel like im wasting my time since i cant do moving ollies at all. Let alone kickflips
>>1387608
unfortunately the key to getting your moving ollies down is to practice them moving even tho youll probably eat some shit
keeping yourself in control of the board is a lot different when you're covering both vertical and horizontal difference so just get used to it now
just perfect the foot position, motion, landing bolts and you will adjust to learning to do tricks while moving
>>1387631
practice rolling
put 70% of your weight on your front foot
focus on just lightly popping (to maintain control) then landing so your front foot is on the bolts
you can perfect the timing of your front foot later, but if you do that, you should be very stable when you land. Make sure you do not have more than 50% of your weight on your back foot. focus just on your front foot
>>1387608
As someone that had a crippling case of chickenfoot, it'll be harder to lean ollies moving if you only practice them stationary.
Practice rolling at a fair speed, jumping forward while you pop the board and turn your foot. This will give you very low ollies but you can worry about height later. Also >>1387840 this, I wasn't quick to realize weight distribution was essential when I was learning.
A local store sell those skates at 75€

I've heard that globe started selling completes before but this is my first time seeing them. It says they're made by dwindle so the deck at least is probably halfway decent. I bet the trucks and wheels are cheap, but I can't tell what trucks they are from the picture
>>1388620
They have a team apparently
