Fat dude from other thread.
I bought my first board. I figured anything would do and something I built myself with somewhat quality parts would be better than a Walmart board, so I went and got this shit.
Goodwood Good Trip deck
Thunder Psonoradelic 149s
Spitfire Cheapshots
Spitfire Hypno-Swirl 56s
Black Magic Grip Tape
And some generic 1 inch hardware.
Did I fuck up somewhere? Are the 149s high enough to not make me bite the wheel, or should I buy some riser pads?
>>1102484

>you should have got Reds
You're probably right but I'm hurting for cash right now. I'll probably make the upgrade to reds next month.
>>1102484
I skate 149's too. You're going to get wheel bite regardless, you'll be fine.
>>1102484
That looks great. Good wood is meh, but for your first board it's totally fine. If you are interested in price point decks that are surprisingly good check out Real's 'renewal' line.
Bought my first board. Keeping it /simple/. My knee kind of hurts from falling loads at the park. Any tips to prevent me really fucking it up over a long time?
>>1102518
All of Deluxe price point decks are great.
I haven't made a vx1000 edit in awhile. Here's a little one I did. A lot of footage of myself filmed by my gf lol.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CCmCrYAqLo
If you're in the NYC/NJ area and would like to possibly film sometime let me know
>>1102518
I'll take note for when I inevitably break this board.
>>1102523

>>1102541
You should said that in the last thread, I'm leaving today.

i'm riding a 8.125 and i think it's a little too big, do most people here ride 8.125+ or more around 7-8?
>>1102854
My shoe size is 10.5 by the way. which i think is average.
Reminder that Rowan is now pro.
https://youtu.be/7WqdTVPQhwE
https://youtu.be/Q8XN-iqhMu4
https://youtu.be/_c9gsIvpGGU
>>1102854
I ride an 8. Some friends told me my board is tiny and they ride 8.5. But to be honest I tried 8.5 and it feels way too big for me. I'm a size 10.5, not that it matters, some people just like smaller or bigger boards
>>1102854
I ride 8.75 with size 9 feet
>>1102817
I jump around and have a lot of different types of ideas for music/editing. JK style would be more of a female indie band or shoegaze dream pop female vocal type music. I finally learned how to import mkv files into final cut pro x... and the first movie i tested it on was a recent anime movie and i was going thru silent hill music and this track and that footage just matched up really well. I enjoy lots of japanese films too like lady snowblood, death by hanging, hausu, zeiram, tetsuo man etc that id like to throw in some edits in the future. Just need to find the right skaters
>>1102850
I'm the white one. that black kid hated the edit posted on snapchat complaining about it hahaha. I haven't seen him in a few months. he attempted suicide a month or so ago and is extremely rude. He's young and possibly autistic or something? idk? something is wrong with him? Now that my filming is getting almost to where I want it to be, I want to start filming skaters who fit my editing and filming style.
>>1102541
this is dope make more
>>1102896
0_0 thats nuts. I think your style is pretty good, but i'd like to see something more aggressive
for instance
this is one of my favorite edits
https://youtu.be/9dKOl9xX0lA?t=121
(2:01 - 4:01)
which is like short 3-4 second clips of other media (video games, anime) that cuts between 3-4 clips of tricks for a little while and then eventually transitions to a 20 second line or a huge ending trick. idk i always liked editing videos, i used to make youtube poops all the time lol.
>>1102859
We've got the same deck and shoe size, 8.125 is perfect for me, It's not too big, not to small. Perfect happy medium
>>1102861
Rowan is really good. Glad he turned pro.
So /esg/, I have a question.
Have you learned any important life lessons that you owe to skateboarding? If so, what are they?

>>1105549
that was really nice
>>1106027
I don't get it either but it's always a main event at the X-games. It might be because there's a small chance of the skater slipping out and die.

Hope you learn some new tricks today.

>>1106908
Hensley is sick but I think Natas made more of a impact.
how do i stop my heels from hanging too far off the board when i land fs180s?
>>1106888
Tbh that's really what I'm trying to say. I'm kinda builtfat because I do powerlifting in my spare time when I'm not skating.
I guess if I'm being honest, my inability to do tricks is more due to a fear of failing in public than anything.
>>1107044
I would say keep skating and eventually you'll forget about that fear. And motivation won't help, its fickle, you're better off getting up and trying again.
>>1106922
Landed on my ribs last month. Only been skating for about two.
>>1106979
Front or back?
>>1107044
You've never seen skaters bail? Where are you from? The skatepark I went to was kids trying to kickflip who I don't think I"ve seen ever land one and the better guys trying to do more ridiculous stuff but again never landing.
I mean yeah depends on where you are I guess but shit man skaters fall. Just skate man.
Anyone in 231 wanna skate? It's raining right now but flatland in a parking garage is about all I know any way.
>>1106393
i learned back 3s, kind of
>>1106946
Don't give up
is there a name for this tic-tac-like thing?
>>1107533
I dunno still looks like a tic tac to me. he's just tic'ing with no tac'ing
>>1106922
Damn dude. This takes the gnarly factor. I heard a story of a kid biting the coping on a minicamp at what was the local skatepark circa 2002.
>>1107210
Don't be afraid to fall in public! Remember that all those rad tricks in skate videos take a bunch of tries to land 99% of the time.
And yeah, have any of you guys seen the guy in my picture at all? Anywhere?
>>1102523
Skateboards are going to get messed up if you ride on them and do a lot of tricks. Sometimes, the board will slip out from you and possibly hit a wall, chipping the front and back. The thing is, skateboards are wood, and wood does not compete with cement.
Your trucks, wheels, and everything else will last longer than your decks.
Ahh, the smell of fresh wood.
>>1106979
I used to hang my front toes off 1/2 to 1 inch or so. That might also be a sign you need a wider board. Or maybe that your trucks are too lose/your board is pressure cracked. Once i got good enough at them, and learned no-complies which really helped my technique, i can do them with my front foot in any position. But at first i had to hang my front toes off.
>>1107533
Theres no name for that, so you could just call it tic-tacing. To do it the way he's doing it having loose trucks helps. He's pushing with his back foot really hard and just letting his front up the tiniest bit at the same time, rather than lifting and turning like you would a tictac or kickturn. Thats also how he turns the frontside grind so much, because he's pushing into it with his back foot.
>>1107673
I was actually talking about tips for not fucking up my knee over a long period of time!
What youre saying bout the board is true though and pretty much why i went for a simple, clear one that i wont mind destroying.
The fresh wood smell is already fading...
How often do you get hurt on average? Im about to start skating about next month or so and im scared as shit of getting injured. I dont mind cuts and bruises but actual injuries make me tremble in fear.
>>1108011
In the beginning? Be prepared to fall on your ass quite a bit, nothing serious though.
>>1108011
majority of my injuries came/come/are from landing primo
>>1108011
You probably won't get seriously hurt in your first couple of months unless you try some shit that is way out of your skill range. Rolled ankles, bruised shins, and falling on your ass probably will happen though, so you'll need to get used to that.
>>1108011
What everyone else says. Just learn to take a fall and get right back up. It's half the fun if you ask me.
>>1106027
its more fun to watch for people who dont skate and cant comprehend how hard it is to do technical street and park riding.
its like Evel Knievel
>>1108011
Started about 2 months ago.
Sincerely, spend 2 months (or even more) getting a good balance on your board. Because you will know you don't have it yet when you fall.
You will probably fall on your wrist and ass a couple of times, Don't think about that, just try to learn.
Remember about basic stuff (How to proper get on the board, how to turn, how to go down ladders by putting your weight on your front etc)
And take your time. After a bit you will get so fucking used to it you will not go a day without thinking about shredding.
The chance you'll break a bone is almost none, just don't try shit you can't do yet.
Is there such a trick like a Primo Slide, in a grind? is that even possible?
>>1108521
Probably possible, but nearly impossible.
>>1108011
Listen to some music that pumps you up big time and you'll feel indestructible and ready to do some crazy shit.
>>1108514
>>1108514
This. I'm an older guy and I remember my first time riding my skateboard to middle school the day after I got it. HOLY CRAP. So much balance is needed!
But it eventually becomes like riding your bike. If you keep trying new stuff, keep doing tricks you've learned, and generally just doing tricks on new stuff (or even just riding it) you'll get better.

I don't like this approach desu. My approach to people yelling at me for skating is unavoidable, considering the way that I am, but I think it's pretty funny. I'm really sensitive and literally start crying anytime I get yelled at or someone says something mean. Their reactions are always top kek.

warm up before andafter. do jump rope, boxers do it to make there knees bouncy. Youll need that bounce when jumping for 2 hours. work your backand abs. Strong core and balance is key. Buy a foam roller, i swear they can cure cancer. take fish oil and stay hydrated. make sure you streatch and dont push it too hard. rid both goofy and regular it will help with your endurance and it wont create imbalances . i hope that helped.

Hi /esp/
I'm thinking about to get a skateboard but just to get from A to B faster than by foot.
What do you think? Should I get a skateboard and add some big wheels or should I buy a longboard? I'm not a fan of longboards because I see hipsters with them everyday and I haven't heard any good about them. As a noob I can't say which is better.
>>1113985
Not skating?
>>1113717
Is it wrong for me to not want to buy that shoe because I dislike Jerry?
>>1114320

>but just to get from A to B faster than by foot

and eventually you'll get super comfortable on it, and might even look into doing simple tricks
>>1107533

tight or loose trucks /esg/?
>>1108866
but HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?
>>1114386
I prefer loose, but it really comes down to what us comfortable to you.
>>1114386
loose as shit
>>1114386
tight as fuck, my city is a hole so i need to downhill plenty. Also pressure tricks.
>>1114386
Almost broke my back skating miniramp on really loose trucks a little while ago. Tightened them up a bit since that.
>>1114386
medium
>>1114386
Medium, it's best of both worlds.
>>1114386
medium tight in the back with hard bushings.
super loose in the front with soft bushings. the kingpin nut is only halfway in, with lots of threadlocker glue. it's so loose you can adjust it with your fingers.
it's not as wobbly as this, but pretty close:

it's fun.
Biggest asshole tricks in a game of SAKTE?
I am calling on all kinds of pressure flips
If you learn it it's ok,but then you get sucked in and start learning more and more pressure tricks since they are so easy
Daewon skates super loose trucks. It's pretty crazy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt--3DX-md0
>>1112735
Yeah, pretty much. I'm also short and have a bit of an eating disorder, so I'm quite small. I look like a little kid.
I skated from 2002 to 2012 . I can't believe people are using 8.125s now . I always liked 7.5 inches .
i'm gonna start again soon . don't think i'll ever be as good as I was in 2006 again but pretty sure it will be fun .
>>1114929

im thinking of getting parts for my first board and Im liking the disigns of the hookup decks... Are these decks good quality or should I stay away?
>Pop ollies high as fuck now.
>Always land at a 60 degree angle to the left and go 100mph-0 instantly
One step forward, two steps back
>>1115025
god, i have waaay too many hookups decks. pic related is my all-time favorite.
while i love their graphics, the deck quality itself is not that amazing. it's not bad or anything, it's just noticeably generic compared to decks made by ps-stix. the wood doesn't feel as compact and stiff. it almost feels soggy with less pop. it cracks, chips, and delams pretty fast too. as a first board, it's fine though. you should definitely get it.
>>1115093
thanks anon!
>>1115093
>the wood doesn't feel as compact and stiff. it almost feels soggy with less pop. it cracks, chips, and delams pretty fast too.
did you get it just as it was out of the factory? because after a considerable amount of time, the board loses its liquids.
>>1115086
Whoops never mind, fixed it. I just thought fuck it and instead of focusing on the oille i just ninja kicked forward and it fixed itself
is there a go to place to buy parts online?

nhsfunfactory.com is basically like buying factory direct for indys, creature, ojs... Etc...
Bought my first deck in well over a decade this past weekend. Been lurking in these generals a while and finally was motivated to get out and skate despite my age. Thanks for the inspiration, dudes.

Support your local shop. Most of the people there will be cool, and you'll end up building a rapport with them in the long term, which I'd rather over the 10% discount online.

1st park sesh of the year(3rd time skating since almost all winter)
I was a bit rusty but i got back quite a few tricks which i'm pretty stoked
Park was wet at the worst spot and it pisses me off because i landed so Nollie front crooks before filming and after
Instead i kept the bad takes and the accidental nollie fs crooks to board
Tell me what y'all thinks

>there's someone who can nollie-flip posting in /esg/
THE CIRCLE IS NOW COMPLETE.
>>1117195
wat?
>>1117195
Dude i can barely nollie and switch flip, i have 'em sometimes but i never practice them because it's the trick that fucks with my mind
On flat i can do switch heels, switch inwards, switch bs heel, switch tre, switch bs/fs pop shuvs, switch fs flips, nollie bs flips, nollie heels, nollie inwards, i've landed a couple of nollie tre but seriously i've tryed one today and i had it, popped a nice one but i kinda landed on it but backwards, nollie fs/bs pop shuvs and i think i might forget some but whatever fuck switch/nollie flips
They're nice and all but they piss me off
>>1117241
Man I can't even switch ollie half the time.
anyone give tips on how to hardflip? Can't get it down
>>1117247
Ohh
It's kinda my 3rd or so time posting here tho
>>1117251

Aye pal. From London. Visited my bf in Edinburgh last weekend and picked up this deck in a local shop.
I have a question for long time skaters: Do you experience an adrenaline rush when skating?
I'm not a skater but I need to know. It's for a research.
>>1117335
Not really but it gets your heart rate up for sure.
When you have a hard slam, yes, you get an adrenaline rush. A lot of times I have to slam first to focus myself on something.
If you have an almost-make, or a make that you barely hang on to, you get a rush also. Its more of a laughing can't believe that just happened kind of rush than sheer adrenaline.
Getting an adrenaline rush can be a bad thing honestly you want to keep your head down and your mind focused on what's going on. That's why smiling/being stoked on making something is sort of a fauxpa in skating.
Granted I've been skating a long time so maybe I'm just jaded. Maybe the people dropping in on the miniramp and doing rockfakies are getting huge adrenaline rushes. Hopefully they are.
>fell on my fucking face today
>not sure if my tooth is alright
>gums are bleeding
>can't even ollie yet
wtf... shit is embarrassing
>>1117335
Nope, it just feels more good the better you get
>>1117428
Keep practicing, never forget to pop hard on the tail/nose, practice patiently, always be on the edge of your toes, practice more, at some point you'll start to feel more your board and be more comfortable with it
Then you'll start getting tricks, keep putting time into it and never forget it's nothing more than being supposed to be fun so don't rush it
So uh
Got dog shit on board, was so mad I left it on the porch for like three months before I got new griptape.
Why does it feel like it's ten fucking pounds?
>>1117474
what's your setup like? Also might have gotten rained the fuck up
>>1117474
I'm guessing it's waterlogged.
My outer left ankle always kills after skating, doesnt matter how long I ride for it always will hurt. Anyone else get this? It's like a muscle pain or something
pic unrelated
>>1117474
Get a new board, it's over dude
Next time you step on dog dung and on your board, just use a fucking hairdryer and use it on the griptape so it unsticks
Never fucking leave a board outdoor you dung, a new griptape is less expensive than a brand new board you poopsmoker
