To the guy in the last thread who said he could do lazers and other fliptricks but not kickflips

Since you obviously can already flick the board for other stuff and know how to land on it you need to just focus on flicking your kickflip faster. Get it spinning as fast as possible that way you've got time to get back on it before chickenfooting out. It tends to be a slow spinning trick unless you really flick it.

If only it was.
It's actually about 7 minutes of a bunch of spergs sitting around talking about stupid shit before they even properly skate the fucking epicly-random-you-can't-skate-this-board, which to me is even worse.
If it was just about skating, like "will it skate", then it'd be okay, but these psychos are more interested in creating a cult of personality so they can sell more stuff to impressionable little kids who think Kyro is cool. Well, he is a scientologist after all, so one could expect such tactics.

On a different note, I can consistently do hospital heels now, and I'm happy because I only started practicing yesterday.
Learning that trick did fuck up my regular heelflips though. I landed a regular heelflip during a game of skate today and it was the weirdest feeling. Like I was doing the motion of a kickflip but I just twisted my foot in such a way that the trick looked like a heelflip.

lol you summed it up better than I could've.. Majer Crew makes clickbaity videos too but theirs end up usually being interesting at least. For example in one they use long screws to mount 4 decks on top of each other to a pair of trucks, at first they can barely ride it, but at the end they manage to ollie 3 boards primo. Whereas with the kyro vids its just like "yeah the iPad broke! totally zany who would've guessed!!"

There's a really cool scene in 'K Return of Kings' that seems to be a rotoscoped animation of Skate 3 - one of the characters of the show fights with a skateboard deck, and in that scene they show him cruising through the streets, bigspin up a curb, kickflip a planter, and then bluntslide down this thing. It looks amazing , but must have taken forever to animate , because its literally the only time in the whole show they show him skating.

I believe its in the 2nd episode.. Maybe third? Pic related is the character. The show itself really sucks beyond the first couple episodes but the first episode & that skating scene are amazing art-wise.

I used to have a webm of it but its on my old computer I don't have anymore. I think a skateboarding anime would be cool if it wasn't done in a serious style and instead more like kill-la-kill, exaggerated, unserious, and art-centric. That said I'm not really an anime fan so maybe my opinion doesn't matter.

you already know the answer to that friend, so don't delude yourself...

I 'll tell you what helped me in heelflips though and later on (some nights ago) landed me some fakie kickflips:

practice your "snap": pop and disengage your backfoot from the tail. As soon as that tail hits ground, get your foot up in the air. This buys you time in the air. The rest is up to your flick and commitment. It doesn't take strength, just the right technique.

Just skated for the first time in ~7 years, my dudes.
Suddenly felt a strong urge to skate and bought a complete off ebay (element deck, wheels, ceramic bearings, hardware and manton trucks) and some DC shoes that were on sale really cheap.
It took me like 5 minutes to muster the courage to drop into the 4ft mini but I fucking did it. Dropped into some bigger ramps after that and re-learnt some goober tier stuff in the mini like bs 5050, rock to fakie. Then because I'm an absolute madman I ollied the little 3 stair.
Feels bretty good.

Film with your phone, then hit up pawn shops for old cameras for anything less than $100, if you can't hit up Amazon and eBay. The HD or SD thing is strictly your preference.

Do you guys let other people borrow your boards? I'm new to skating and the people at my skatepark are the lowest of the low, and they always ask to borrow my board. I let them because I don't want to look like a dick, but they always end up scratching up my board. Should I keep letting them use it?
>>
>>1415612
Fuck no. They always have dog shit on their shoes, or they focus your board while skating it. They won't pay for a new deck if it snaps, so tell them to fuck off. If they hang out at a skatepark, and don't have their own boards to skate on you should gun them down.

Merci !

Yea that happens a lot. If you just forget about trying to be able to do every trick every time and just try to bring them out when needed they're usually there for you within a few tries, but if you try forcing them when they're not working you make things worse for yourself

Do you need new trucks for 8 inch boards? can I still ride 54mm wheels?

I might do the jump from 7.5, feels kinda small for my feet and I'm a beginner so it'd be easier I guess

also I'm trying to ollie and I've noticed/seems like people actually start sliding the front foot first and then they pop, is this correct? I can do all steps except the front foot one, its so fucking awkward
>>
>>1417150
>Do you need new trucks for 8 inch boards?
Depends, what kind of trucks do you have?
>>
>>1417158
destructo superlite Mid
>>
>>1417163
Okay, I'm guessing you have the D1 model but what number is it?
5.0, 5.25 or 5.5?

If it's 5.0, a 8 inch deck is fine but anything bigger than that is pushing it
>>
>>1417174
Just checked my email it's Superlite 3 Cobalt Mid 5.0 so it seems I'm fine
But I also saw a neat irish deck from plan B which is like 7.8 so its basically the same shit anyways
>>
>the majority of esg can't even ollie

Seriously fuck you guys, you cocksucking cunts.
>>
>>1417188
Hey I just started skating m8 I havent even put 10 hours into it but at least I can ride around semi-comfortable and go down cosiderable ramps
the ollie is being a pain in the ass though
>>
>>1417195
>put 10 hours into skating
>still can't ollie

Time to let go.
>>
>>1417207
>they were all spent doing ollies

mostly getting used to the board, riding and talking to friends desu
>>
>>1417207
no, it's time to fucking ollie
>>
>>1417184
Plan B is tight, I personally like 8 but 7.8 could be a safer route for yah
>>
>>1417188
It can be helped, /esg/ is a small community.
You're free to go

I accidentally stepped in dog shit then onto my board, I got it off with soapy water a steel brush used for dogs and paper towels. Have I gone wrong somewhere? Will my board warp or something?
>>
>>1416118
seriously, why did you lose the trip? it wasn't that bad.

If you 'd learn to pull switch mannies it would seriosuly raise your game, that's how I see it.

Sell your skateboard.

You pop first, then when your tail hits the ground and bounces you start dragging your foot to the nose.

Anyone here from Miami? Ive been to the skatepark there by the beach but its packed as fuck. Im thinking of skating street. How are the cops there?
>>
>>1417296
Try actually riding your skateboard.
>>
>>1417286
Who cares? If you skate just to be good at it, might as well change the sport to something else. There are much better sports for that. I would keep skating even if it took me 2 months to learn an ollie, since it's fun.
>>
>>1417300
It's only a problem downtown, everything is a up for grabs
>>
>>1417304
Keep the excuses coming bud.
>>
>>1417150
When you're about to try to ollie, turn your foot slightly on it's side and basically jump off closer to your pinkie toe rather than your big toe.

The motion came naturally to me after that.
>>
>>1414142
It really is. I stopped because I was getting pretty serious about street and after a few minor injuries and some really close calls, I became very paranoid about hurting myself badly and not being able to surf (which has always been my real sport) for months. Funny how my teenage mind was only worried about my body getting fucked up because of potentially missing good waves.
I'm going to try to limit myself to vert, flatground and babby street stuff this time. Skated every day since I got my new stuff and I'm having so much fun.
>>
>>1417317
Having fun is an excuse for being shit, half of you faggots can't ollie

stop being a faggot and let people learn how they want to, you might've learned an ollie within an hour but for many people it takes longer

Im a complete beginner and the board I'm interested in is an 8.5, is that okay to start out on? Will learning tricks be harder?

Also I'm a size 12 if that matters
>>
>>1417722
Deck size is like dick size, bigger is better. Unless your a bitch who cant carry 8.5" around. And no, it wont make tricks harder, will probably make them easier due to your huge foot.
>>
>>1417458
not necessarily. people who do parkour have good balance, but they can't all ride skateboards. just ride around if you want to get better
>>
>start riding again after years
