>tfw want to start skating so badlt
>gear is expensice as shit where i live so waiting for next month money to arrive
>there is so little choice gearwise here and im in a lost
I think im gonna overpay for some junk and feel discouraged. But the hype is real. Last time i broke some 10 y/o board i found in my basement after a month of learning shit. Im afraid thet my paycheck might end up like that.
>>1067812
The typos, jesus fuck.
hey
anyone know any decent online shops that ship to/based in the melbourne area [aus] for a decent price?
the only good skate shop nearby closed down recently
broke my board and bearings are dying on my old board
otherwise i'll prolly pick up new gear in the city sometime
>>1067797
How about a trigger warning for the rolled ankle?
You bogan.
this is a puuurfect example of the consequences of capitalism in the ecosphere:

Have you guys ever had days where you don't feel like skating?
>>1068097
yes, so what?? Is Thrasher giving you a guilttrip? Burn the issue then.
>>1068097
Today. The only day i can skateboard for the whole day.
>>1067812
Buy over the web
>Gear is expensive as shit where i live
What are you planning to get besides the whole board and the wrenchs?
>>1068157
shipping a whole board from abroad sounds pretty risky, or am I paranoid?
Any recomendation of a decent EU shop with reasonable prices?
Just a complete board, yeah. The wrenches aren't that bad.
Also, any reviews on Blind decks? It a noname brand?
There's plenty of that and Darkstar avalible but im not convinced they're any good.
>>1068215
Blind and Darkstar is under the same Distribution.
Same wood and possibly same shape.
>>1068122
What?
>>1067797
Dude, you look stiff af when skating
Also, pop harder
>>1068097
Yes, I didn't skate at all this week.
>>1068097
Yes, for 8 years.
>>1069077
That's insane.
>>1069138
I just stopped one day, I still get the urge to jump on my board sometimes but I'm getting to the age where it feels too late. And I let myself go with drugs and alcohol.
>>1069257
It's never too late.
>>1069475
I know but there's a bit of excess weight and extra size.
>>1069708
that ain't stopping shit man
I'm 6'3" and used to be 278 lb

i'm addicted to buying shit
i have 4 setups
139, 149, 159, and 169
they're all welcome
i should kill myself
Guys. never skated, but now I want to give it a try, since looks like a good hobby and fun (and I really need one, cant fucking stick with alcohol and games). I dont have any friends who have a skate so, where can I get a cheap one yet decent to decide if this thing is for me? I prefer to buy it in a physical store, but I think it will be a bit "ankward" to go on a local only skate shop and ask there, since only "pros" go there?
I live in Europe, w2c a skate? Is 22yo too late? and thanks.
>>1071872
Have you read the OP?
>>1071882
Yes, but I prefer to get an answer from someone.
>>1071886
buy a complete, have fun
>>1071872
If you buy a cheap one it won't roll, pop like shit and will break if you try any trick. Spend like 100-150 euros on a decent complete.
No, 22 years isn't too old, there are 30 year olds who still go to my park.
Go to the shop and just ask questions if you want. Skate shop guys are usually pretty cool.
Where in Europe are you?
>>1071889
Spain, barcelona exactly, looks like its a city pretty friendly with skating. I can spend like 80~90€.
Thanks.
>>1071539

>>1071627

>>1071894
Dood, you're in one of the meccas of skating. Your backyard's a skatepark. Get to it!

>bogan
Aussie anon confirmed
>>1072062
It doesn't matter if they're younger or older, what matters is you're having fun.
I'm having problems about the pop shoveit while rolling.
The board rotates ok, but it seems like my body is staying back. That's because everytime my right foot lands on the tail and my left foot on the ground. I'm goofy.
What i'm probably doing wrong? Couldn't record it yet.
>>1071958
Maybe if you're poor and don't have severe hd
I like skating something different depending on the mood I'm in
My setups influence my skating
>>1072230

>>1072230
That just sounds silly.
>>1068713
I think I was stiff because it was cold af and I hadn't warmed up yet.
I do need to start popping harder.
>>1071627
its ok, between me and my roommates we have like 10+ completes
only like 3 actually get ridden
My life is total bad trip. I'm tired of waking up and "today can be more bullshit, let's go!". I guess it would be good to be dead already.
>>1072506
>>1072522
just this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-preservation BULLSHIT, I guess.

Take a break, you need it.
How the fuck do i deal with pebbles? Bigger wheels?
My city pavement is fucking dog shit, and there are random pebbles all around. I never had problem with them until today. Was going considerably fast with my 53mm wheels.
It's fucking interesting how the board can decrease its speed from 231231 to 0 in less than 1 second, with a simple shitty rock. There were many people looking but i don't care about them, i just want to kill all the pebbles! HNG
>>1072219
commit, dont be afraid of the board. Jump and land on it
how are the huf classics for skating?
>>1072616
>bigger wheels?
Yeah, once you move into the 60mm +/- rang pebbles aren't shit.
Those little spiky balls that fall from tress are still deathtraps no matter what, though.
>>1072697
Huf classic lo?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9j3PwRFBJQ
>>1072616
Pebbles are going to effect basically all urathane wheels. They happen, and they are a skaters worse enemy.
>>1072716
thanks. i'm just trying to find a shoe that's really durable. really cant afford to be buying new shoes every few weeks :/
>>1072742
Yea, I feel you. Shit happens. I'd just say get something suede, and I personally feel cupsole last the longest. From time to time just try out different brands, until you find something you feel is durable.
>>1072359
>having skatebuddies as roommates
I am a failure
>>1072616
I don't know, but since I started skating again 3 years ago, I 'm at a point now where I just don't give a fuck and ride over them.
Unweight
>>1072742
or shoe goo by the way
>>1072742
I value flexibility and board feel over durability. Although considering how fucked my current shoes are and how fucked my bank balance is I might have to take a different approach in the future.
>>1072798
hahahaha, my man
What're the best genres for skating and why are they thrash metal and midwest emo
>>1072944
The best genre is fucking don't skating with earphones
Don't be this guy. Also the best sound is the sound of the wheels in the ground and the pop of the board.
>Get back into skating after a few years
>Find out Lewis Marnell died
Well that's a huge fucking bummer.

It is.

>>1073829
I like the deck, I like your style, but your neighbourhood seems a little off.

kek, Bam's tribe!
ave you ever been to Love Park?
Do any of you guys ever get weird feelings in your legs from skating? My left thigh has had this weird pulsing getting lately, and both calfs have felt kind of twitchy. I can also feel a vein underneath my knees along my calf on both sides but it's not huge like a varicose vein.
Been skating for 5 years, am I just starting to get old and getting the random aches and pains old people always talk about?
>>1073856
depends on how intense your skating is or got.
I know what you are talking about exactly however and I never stretch, sometimes I get the twitch wake up leg.
>>1072616
Harder and bigger wheels. Learn to plant yourself on your board better by lowering your center of gravity. If you feel a pebble or see one, try counter leaning if you have time.
>>1073855
I actually live like 20 minutes from bam. Also no I never went to love. Ive lived about 30 minutes away from Love my whole life and some how I never went. Pretty much one of the most regrettable things in my life. I wanted to go so bad the weekend the city let every one skate it one last time but I had only started skating again for a couple of weeks. I didnt wanna go all rusty, look like a kook and get vibed by the locals. I really should of went though. Also I really hate driving and being in Philadelphia in general.
>>1073865
also side note. I was actually born in fucking Philadelphia so it makes it even more inexcusable that I never skated love.
>>1073865
>>1073866
from what I know about Love, it's not THAT inexcusable, I think the skateboarder stereotype started there. Ricky Oyola said "you wouldn't go to learn your tricks in Love Park" and I 'm still trying to remember which interview had this guy who said that for the guys in Love Park, if you wanted to switch stance, you had to do a 180, you couldn't just step off the board.
>>1073873
yea lol that was in the 90s im pretty sure. They had a bunch of rules for when you skated love. The 180 thing, not being able to push mongo even switch, etc. Oyola used to give people shit for landing out of grinds fakie and powersliding around to regular for their next trick. Like if you did a tailslide to fakie, turn around and did your next trick regular Oyola would vibe you out. They chilled out on that shit though but by the time that happened you'd get chased out by cops immediately any way. Josh Kalis used to give clothes and shoes to the cops to sort of bribe them away but then the city started cracking down hardcore after awhile.
>>1073856

Never again will I try being polite to these fucking dickheads. I'm actually pissed off because we rode away with our dicks between our legs.
Tell me your kickout stories /esg/
>>1078713
One time I was skateboarding
Someone came up and asked us to leave
We did
DESU i can feel my heart racing just telling this again
>>1078718
Another time me and my same friends were riding and this dickhead in a van took a turn super close to us and actually was like 2 inches away from hitting us because he clearly thought he was top shit. So we flipped him off and he parked his van and got out saying "hurrr what the fuck are you guys going to do about it" told him he was a pathetic and didn't kick his ass. We roll past his van and his wife and his child in a car seat were sitting in the van while daddy played tough guy to a bunch of 16 year olds at the time.
Seriously pisses me off retelling it, I gotta stop being so nice to dickheads man.
>>1076721
hell yeah. not dumb at all. great skating man keep it up
>>1078713
>>1078727
Just literally ignore them. Don't speak to them. Don't look at them. Keep skating and ride a few feet away, skate there, skate back to where you were if they follow you. Maintain your silence and don't make eye contact. Best way to handle it. Let them say or do whatever. Only if its the actual police should you leave.
Favourite songs to skate to? I need to make a new playlist.
>>1078751
word. thanks bro.
>>1078536
I heard doh dohs are shit now but I dunno. Im sure you've heard of the bones hard bushings. They are pretty dope.
>>1078751
do you have anything against NEETs you fucking prep?
Well, Im about to buy a pennylike cruiser or a prebuilt skate. Ill spend likely 70€ on one of these but, as Im new on skating Im doubtful about what to choose. Isnt the pennyboards more for casual ride and just have fun? If so, are they ok to learn skate and then go forth and buy a real skate? Or I shall start with a prebuilt skate of 70€ bcs they are different things?
Thanks again.
>>1077387
noice
>>1078927
Don't buy a pennyboard, for fuck sakes those are the douchiest things ever. Get a decent prebuilt board you can up the the parts on when you get better.
>>1078927
My 13 year old sister has a pennyboard.
They suck.
>>1079015
At least learn how to ollie. Then you should be good.
However once you master that youll want to try 180s, then, shuvits, then kickflips etc... Its a slippery slope
>>1078865

>>1078906
not really. was one for a while. just can't be proud of a NEET though. NEET life works if you work it, but I don't encourage the lifestyle.
>>1078927
you can get a pennyboard, just maybe don't let it be your first board. they're very gimmicky. more of a toy than woodflip already is.

how old anon? i was like that when i was 17. Shit is heavy. Might not get better, but i recommend working through it. Do you have many friends? Not video game friends but like real people who go outside and do shit. Make sure you're getting plenty of vitamin D from the sun. spend way less time on the internet. skate more. wake up earlier, eat better.
If you can better yourself, you will feel better, at least a bit.

I can't understand what's that, I guess it's too much problems in my head in my life that I've started to snap out of control and then I just get scared of the next thing, because I wasn't like that back then I guess I was just a pretty normal guy comfortable in life but as the problems started to show up I couldn't cope and as they keep coming up I've changed to bad and I guess that it's getting to me in a way that my actual friends already perceived this and want distance from me(as some of my old friends already did so that's why I want to get out of their way too).

Everytime I try my body is like fuck that and doesn't commit my foot. Everyone has a trick they can't try. Try to do 180s bro, i'm sure you can do it if you practice. Don't worry about fucking up just try to get hurt :D

Hey guys. I need some pointers.
So I know I have a muscle imbalance in my back because my right side is bigger than left, and now I have lower back pain radiating to my leg and hurts like a bitch to bend. I can only skate for like an hour and the next day it hurts like hell.
Should I try skating switch and Pull a Rodney Mullen? Anyone have any tips for fixing a back muscle imbalance? Much appreciated bros

>>1081383
I swear, It's so frustrating, I have decent board control. I just can't front 180, like I said it's all mental, but then again I haven't really took an extensive amount of time to try to get them completely down, I have landed shitty ones. I might practice that more today.
>>1081970
yeah they're pretty pricey. totally worth it though

I got my brother into skating a few weeks back, he didn't want to spend too much so he got a Anti-Hero prebuilt skateboard. It's pretty solid for $80, the trucks are weak but it doesn't matter since he can't grind.
If you're willing to spend more, get a custom.
>>1082235
Help apreciated, but for starting I want a prebuilt.
Thanks.

147 is an 8 inch truck. usually for 8-8.2
>>1082467
Pleasure.
>>1082485
because you're a fucking retard
indy goes 139 for 8" and 149 for 8.5"
thunder goes 147 for 8" and 149 for 8.5"
>>1082267
are you literally retarded? you will be buying garbage and you will not have any fun
the board will feel like shit
do you think you can't put it together? or that you're saving money? because it's the easiest thing in the world and you're not really saving any money
>>1082496
>because you're a fucking retard
more like, different measurements for each company, just like with shoes.
>>1082267
>do you guys think i should do this
>no
>ok i'm doing it anyways

>>1082500

>>1082520
yea
>>1082520
>you're
your *
i have no excuse
>>1082485
I wasn't that guy who called you dumb, I was the first guy. But 147 is an 8 inch for thunder, different companies just have different measurements, I wish they'd keep it universal.
Does anybody here ever go to the gym?
I've been skating for 4 years and have recently gotten to the point in my skating where I notice that on higher popped tricks and trying to roll out low of tricks in vert bowls my legs won't have the strength to pull myself up out of a squat. Should I start lifting to make my inverts better and increase my leg/overall strength?
>>1082183
No. Get a pre built that comes with independent trucks, and wheels that are around 53-55mm and are hard. Make sure the board width is around 8-8.25 inches.
Your wheels and trucks are going to last on your first board so invest in decent ones and cheap out on bearings and a deck. Cheaper bearings are actually better for beginners in my opinion because you don't want to learn going fast as fuck, and your board preference will form as you go.

>are you using google translate to post?
kek'd
>tfw too poor to buy a new deck and forced to skate the board you have a tattoo of that you've had for 5 years
Hold me /asp/ies ;_;
>>1082652
>not having a based local shop that has $25 dollar deck Tuesdays.
I always have a throwaway and a backup.
Learn to formulate coherent sentences as well. Reading your post gave me a headache.

>Should I start lifting to make my inverts better and increase my leg/overall strength?
Yes. Any serious athlete cross-trains.
>>1072219
get your other foot on first
>>1082663
>more stylish than tranny (vert)
subjective.
>>1082657
My local shop has $20 boards every 20th of the month. Out of a job right now though so I can't even afford that.
>>1082663
Pretty sure he meant gear as in a skateboard setup, not pads, bud.
I just got frontside 180s, anyone care to critique them?

Try doing them in the view of the camera.
>>1082696
Sketchy, but you got it down.
Try going a bit faster, it makes it easier to rotate.

How are Quasi Skateboards bros? I love their graphics, but the nose and tail seem squarish? Can anyone vouch for them?
Who else think cops suck balls?
Was skating in a park with a friend (The park has it's block for skateboarders) when two pigs showed and started discussing with junkies that we're smoking weed some meters ahead. Then they came for us "What the fuck are you two doing?" "Skateboarding." "Get your asses out of here, now."
They also followed us in their shitty police car for a bit while we we're cruising in the streets.
As soon as they showed i've started recording because they could abuse us, but nothing happened this time.
>>1082888

Probably not, they all do that when they compress, but you might be tightening your trucks too far. What bushing into what trucks? Sometimes you have to take out the bottom washer, or maybe its a bad match?
Best thing to do is put in new bushings, tighten the kingpin nut to where its just starting to resist, which will probably be way too loose. Ride around for a few minutes. Do ollies if you can. Then tighten from there.
Don't want over tighten. Its just going to make them break quicker. If it feels like you need your kingpin nut super-super tight, you need harder bushings instead. You don't want them to be squeezing at all.
Sometimes they just peel because they were clipping the side of the bottom washer, but then eventually got into correct placement, and ripped a bit while moving. When there is a crack on the inside hole is when they're broken for sure and you'll feel it.

And now I feel ashamed to skate, if I saw someone as fat as me at the skatepark I'd probably laugh at me. Shit sucks so fucking much.

Oh god I might be on this path.
Who here /intoxicated/ ??
Skating sober is fun.
Skating on (some) substances is a blast too.
What drugs you like to skate on /esg/?
>>1083342
Bleach.
I have a chodeboard (8,5" skate deck, Paris V2 150mm RKP trucks on 1/4 riser, 62mm 78a wheels). Russian roads are shit and I initially only wanted to cruise around parks and the town but then I started watching all those trick videos.
Are ollies/kickflips/shuvits/grinds doable on a hybrid setup like that? I've seen people kickflip 40" boards but I'm not sure those guys were complete noobs like me.
