what do u fags think
Are 8.25 decks okay if I want to do techy stuff? I've been using the 7.75 but I feel that I lose balance easily on it, maybe it's because I'm size 12.
>>777597
pretty sweet.
where are you guys located? somewhere in europe?
>do a manual
>be female
>>777599
or maybe because you need to adjust your trucks.

>>777597
I am willing to bet money that is from somewhere in the eastern Black Sea, either Kazakhstan or Armenia, this is fucking radical eitherway, you guys rule and please keep producing more Kazakh skateboarding videos!
>>777584
I skate the Mikey Taylor's, good shoe.
I haven't skated since I was a kid and now I'm 18. I'm planning on joining the Coast Guard and trying to get stationed in California and learning to skate again. Do any of you guys know who Danny Duncan is? His videos made me want to skate again.
>>777584
They got good shoes, really tough suede material.
My favorite right now is Wes Kremer pro model.
>>777584
I skate them, skating the coles now, i've used the Mikey Taylor's as well. Good shoes, they are pretty cheap on DC's website, you can get some quality shoes for pretty good prices.
>>777599
I just stepped it up to a 8.125 from a 7.75. Honestly it's not much difference, idk what you exactly mean by 'tech' but if you are asking if you can still flip it then yes you can.
>>778039
Have you noticed any improvement in your balance?
>>778168
Yes, especially at higher speeds, gives me more room to stand. I felt that the 7.75 was just too thin when I was trying to go faster and kind of didn't provide enough room for me. It's all preference though, you can always stand on a board at a skate shop, or try someone else's
Bros im looking for a part I saw years ago when I started skating (like 4 or 5 years ago)
Maybe you can help, it had "she's like a rainbow" playing at the background and was some kind of b&w shit, don't know why I remember mistery or fallen and maybe Chris Cole
>>778603
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHdee8yzXdo
is this it?
>>778658
don't think so since I never had a tape from mullen and the one I remember must've been of 2007~10
nevermind I'll have to check the tapes I still have individually this weekend
>>777976
yeah I watch his videos, same with chris chann
desu they live the dream life
Spitfire classics, reds bearings, independent trucks, all going for $100 from my local skate shop, I used to ride a bit when I was like 12-13 but I'm 18 now and I can't be scootering around everywhere anymore since I switched to that after originally skateboarding. Another note, I found this deck on my way home one day with nothing on it.

you know that that's not true.

if you 're good you 're good, meaning you 're good for you. It's not a ranking.

I believe skateboarding itself is quite impressive however as a culture I think it is absolutely disgusting.

met Jaws today, he was at my park
So /asp/, I'm putting together my first skateboard and I'm wondering
Did I put the hardware in to a good enough level? Not too tight or too loose?
>>780195
From the other side of the same end
>>780199
Actually I only put on the front truck and I'm doing the second right now
I was Actually kind of afraid of that, so I wanted to make sure I wasn't fucking up before I tightened the other 4 screws
>>780184
Nice, did you see him ollie off some crazy shit?
>>780227
yea dude, he literally launched over out of the bowl and did a bs 360 kickflip melon grab, if that's the proper name. Anyway it was insane dude, the whole park was clapping, that dude has knees of steel.
>>780196
nice grip, mine always looks like helen keller did it
Just did my back truck and my very first board is now finished
Time to learn how to shred
And here's how the tail's hardware looks
>>780250
>>780248
And finally the other side
>>780165
I graduated college too unlike the majority of skaters
Praying for a dry day in the UK tomorrow.
Send help.
>>780248
Fuckin nice, Alien is one of my favorite brands.
I had a Jason Dill model back when I first started.

Jaws isn't human.
>>780236
>a bs 360 kickflip melon grab

yes, good setup, that means it's offering itself to you, have no mercy on it, have fun.
>>780271

Guy Mariano is on Nike. Nike acquires another "asset". Reading any Slap, /esg/? Someone in there said that Nike is aiming to monopolise the shoe game (the big money is in there) and leaving all the actual skateboard brands to produce hard goods (i.e. decks, trucks etc.). I will add, until Nike can make specil agreements with those companies - all skateboard companies. Will you let it happen /esg/?
song related, dedicated to Nike.

I never brought any Nike SB products and never will.
Most of their shoes are fuccboi apparel.
>>780724
apparently, they make about half of the pairs skateboarders wear where I live.
>>779732
don't give up m8. It took me 7 years to get sponsored the first time. Then that company went bankrupt a year later and I've only been recently sponsored again. (about 11 years after I started).
Just go out there and have some fun. Take part in contests, talk to people at skateparks or spots. Be out there and just skate.
>>780681
REMINDER TO NEVER BUY NIKE SB
>>780681
About 95% of skaters in my city wear nothing but Janoski or some P.Rod shit from Zumiez
>>780681
Until Nike or Adidas make skate shoes in size 15, I'm sticking to Vans

seriously why do anyone skate shoes that arent vans
>>780822
These are probably what I'm gonna be skating in today, and this is what I wear to work
>>780884
/fa/ is to busy sucking off Dylan
>>780877
reynolds lows? do they provide good stability to the foot and protection? I 'm thinking of coping a pair.
>>780822
Vans rip up easy,mine are almost dead.Even with shoe goo
>>780940
They're okay, the elastic that helps your feet fit in rips easily
>>780940
Other than that, light and comfortable
>>780681
Nike know nobody will every take their boards serious if they manufacture them so stick to shoes as shoes are easier for them to sell.
thats just my opinion man.
>tfw I just built my board and was hyped to go out and skate

Thoughts on Supreme or is it just for hypebeast posers?
>>781065
Supreme is part of the Fuccboi starter pack.
A hat or two is okay, but a entire wardrobe of over priced clothing is just stupid.

Anyone have this problem where you really want to go and skate outside but you get too shy and nervous? I get so nervous to go out and skate that I start feeling sick and my board control plummets. I'm so retarded senpaitachi... pls help
>>781026
that's why they will make the market thus, so that board companies will have to be tie-in producers. Do you understand what I mean?

Does anybody else get "withdraws" from not skating?
I'm not talking about some "hurr skating is life, i get sad if I don't skate" type of deal either.
I usually skate every day, and if I'm not skating that day I'll at least go for a walk or jog. Sometimes though I'll fall too much and be too sore to do anything the next day except sit around.
The problem is when I just sit around all day it, around night time I'll feel like I stood up too quick, but this'll last for hours.
I'll be light headed the whole time, spaced out when it peaks for about 10 minutes, and just feel like shit. It's almost like greening out on weed, but I don't smoke and I'll be sober when it happens, and I'm usually sober most of the time.
I think it's just from being super active all the time she then suddenly doing nothing but sit on my ass all day, plus my body is healing too but I wanted to see if anybody else has the same thing?
TL;DR anybody else feel physically fucked up when they don't skate?
>>780822
Because vans are shit quality and only sell because they have the elitist old school vert appeal, and look cool to non skaters. I don't know if they use to be good quality in the 80's but now they're flimsy pieces of shit.
>>780822

Any Germans here? I just moved to the country; is Titus a respectable shop or is it Zumiez tier shit? I need a new deck and theirs are pretty cheap.

what is a "part" in skateboard culture?
>>782055
>>A part usually refers to a full video part, whether it's a opener or ender.
well what does that mean? is it meant to get the skater sponsorship? is it just a compilation of tricks? can more people be featured in a "part"? google wont tell me much about this
>>782053
It means a video part, for example "Antwuan's part in Baker 3 was mind blowing!!"
i wear 43 EU / 11 US shoe size and ride a 7.5
Is this why I have problems sticking in my tricks, or is it just cause i suck? anyone else has experience with 7.5?
>>782082
>7.5
That's a baby board, you can move up to a 7.75 or 8. You'll have more landing room.
>tried to learn to skate as a 12 year old
>couldn't even get an ollie down right
>gave up, haven't touched it yet
I want to fucking die, tbqh. I'm 23 now, I still think skating is cool as fuck but I could never get a fucking ollie down and it's probably too damn late now.
>>782126
lol im 22 and i started 2-3 months ago and i can ollie decently. ur a fgt
>>782126
You have to commit
>>782126
It's never too late to shred, man up.
>>782126
If it's too late for you then what the hell am I?
I'm 29 and started last summer by just riding around and this summer landed my first flip tricks. Kickflip, Heelflip and varial flip.
Just do it faggot
>>782145
Awesome man, I'm 31 and just started this summer. Never really had any expectations of learning flip tricks, just enjoying cruising around and rolling off curbs so far, but that's some great inspiration.
>>781407
Ay I'm a Michiganfag too
734 here
>tfw I can't even ollie
>>782286
How long you been riding?
>>782286
The trick is in actually jumping. The board doesnt magically take you into the skies. Do everything everyone always says and put some backbone and dedication into it. Took me a long ass tile to get it.
>>782286
>Tfw can ollie on grass but not on concrete because i'm a little scared bitch
>>781949
I used to get really bad "panic attacks" (undiagnosed and it was from doing bad drugs so it might have actually been hysteria). I wouldn't say I'm anxious but I am really hyper 90%of the time, and have to be doing something otherwise Im uncomfortable. I do sometimes get nervous about dying and shit though, but I think that's normal.
>>782383
>it might have actually been hysteria
I don't think hysteria manifests itself as panic attacks. Yes, I know what you are referring to. Must be some form of flashbacks/psychedelia. Could be worse if you ask me.

>>782058
A part just means a certain skaters spot in a skate video.
It's the same as saying "that part with Michael Cera in 'This is the End,' except the skaters usually only involves them and nobody else for a few minutes.
Dumb faggots completely misused the term though and will use it to mean any skate video by a skater with music behind it.

Depends on the day.
>tfw can invert but can't kick flip
i've been practicing getting kickflips down and front foot landed in the worst way possible last week. doctor said he didn't see any break in the xray but its a really bad sprain. feels like its gonna be another week til I can walk on it. probably going to be lowkey scared to kickflip now.
>>786897
lmao holyshit that's gross
>>786897
I know that feel anon, I rolled my ankle doing a kickflips.
Now I stick to heelflips
>>786928
here it is few hours after it happened. one of my friends said it looks like when a snake eats something too big and it gets stuck
>>787440
word im probably gonna learn heels instead first once im back to it
>>786897
damn man, sucks having a rolled ankle. Did the exact same thing but on a 360 flip, rolled it the worst way possible. Just ice it and hang in there.
>>787742
I got the same thing a couple years ago, it took me at least a 7 weeks to being able to move my ankle around without pain.
The worst was waking up some nights with a horrible pain.
>>789296
Not sure about the other guy but I kickflip off a hubba and landed wrong.
Fuckin painful

8.25 is the size for a grown man IMO. Skate nothing but that. I remember in middle school skating 7.5 and feeling it was too small but thought it was the size your suppose to use for street.

Can someone give me tips for FS pop shuvits, I can't even fucking fathom the technique behind it. The issue for me is the board always goes behind and to the left of me, it is kind of thrown over there. I can't really get the correct scoop I think. Thanks.

Those who skate bowls like this appear to me like they've mastered everything about skateboarding
