Thoughts on pic related? I would like to know how they compare to other skater owned brands.
>>1197497
They're part of Sole tech and because of of that the suede materials they use are the same as Emerica and Etnies.
Because I skate the vegan suede shoes from Emerica and they feel the same as my old Etnies Jameson 2 Eco.
Overall I like them.

return of the autistic op
abandon thread
>>1197885
honestly autistic op is probably the reason I took it up again
His never too old shit caught my eye while I was researching a sport to get into when I move country and if it was a generic thread I probably wouldn't have clicked it and seen all the other 20+ year olds struggling to get back with it and bothered to go buy a board.
>>1198106

It is cringeworthy as fuck and the desperation of him/you to get OP every time is very offputting.

Nice, makes me want to skate Europe.
stupid question here: what do you clean bearings with? is there a standard cleaner?
>>1198548
Just put them in water for 5 minutes and then let em dry out. This is the cheapest and safest way. Just make sure you pull them out the wheel first.

>>1198353
good shit, that rail spot at 1:37 looks fun as fuck
>>1197497
I have been riding the "accelerate" the past year or maybe more , multiple pairs. First of all, great shoe. Apply glue to the seams around the synthetic/plastic pieces and they will last a long time. Very good quality. Amazing shoe overall.
I also have a pair of the "Accel slim" which seem great, but I've only had one pair so fair and haven't skated them much so... Not sure I can give opinion.
If anybody at ES reads this: bring back "first blood" shoe from before you went out of business!!!!! That was an awesome shoe.
>>1199573
wtf?! how'd you know?
>>1199573
Learn how to fucking green text. I bet sitting on your fat ass watching men in tights lay on each other gets you crazy amounts of pussy too.
When you go to the skatepark and a bunch of little scooter shits took the toilet paper out of the port-a-potty and tied it around all the rails and spread it all over the park
How does this even happen? Recommend me some insoles, left heel hurts everytime after skating because of this.
>>1198106
If thats true, sure it might've worked out alright for you by dumb luck. But that doesn't mean the autistic OP posts are anything other than retarded and sure as hell doesn't mean I want to see his autistic shit every thread just in case it catches someone elses eye to get them into skating.
OP is autistic and needs to off himself lel
>>1198418
>help people with his sticky
>now go out and shred

fuck off, his autistic copy pasted bullshit is lame as fuck

Footprint inoles, kingfoam model. Also those look like casual Vans, try getting some that are built for skating like the Crockett Pro or TNT's.
>>1199739
I'll check em out, I just needed some cheap shoes because I didn't have any actual shoes I could skate with. Plan on buying some better shoes when these ones completely shit out on me.
>>1198655
Pic related is Marc Johnson which lived in a town about ~20 minutes from me
>>1199690
the reason it hurts is probably the reason your shoe looks like this: you step too much on that spot. Whatevers
>>1200029
Well yeah of course that's the reason. I cant see a perfect circle on the heel forming because of that

Ignore this trash trying to rust you up.
Soak them in WD40, I usually just put them in the cap of the bottle and then spray til covered. Or a chinese takout tray
>>1198548
Get rubbing alcohol/paint thinner something that grease is soluble
Throw the bearings in without the shields, shake them around few times
Get old toothbrush, take the bearings out from the solution one by one and brush them a bit all around, try to get really in there
Throw them in the solution again and shake them around, take out and let them dry
Apply speed cream/chain oil something similar to lube em up, let sit for a bit and roll them around in your fingers so the oil gets everywhere
Remove excess oil by throwing the bearings to old sock or something similar and doing a windmill
Then put them back on
If you are lazy as fuck, just throw them in the solution, shake em around every now and then and let them sit there for 5 minutes, take them out, let them dry and apply oil/speed cream

Just pull off the grip and put new grip on. One sprite won't water log your board in the slightest. If you go to your local shop and tell them you're sob story they'll probably give you a free roll of grip.
>>1200811
stop being a bitch nigga, soda is fine
Okay, probably going to order this board to learn/get around going downhill mostly, can't do better for $25 bucks right? I know going fast downhill would be an issue, so I'm going to take it slow naturally.

>>1202294
Ayy my negro. They're probably the most fun you can have just cruising around. Horrible for tricks tho.
>>1202295
Ya I don't care about tricks really, Just need it to get around a bit better, is that the same board, just with better wheels/bearings I'd imagine?
>>1202313
>just need it to get around a bit better
How about you fork out $40 and buy a bike off kijiji then, instead of rolling around on a hipster board.
tl;dr kook
>>1202318
A bike doesn't work well for me, not as easy to take on bus/trolley/car pool, most I ever really need to go is like 3 miles
>>1202313
Yeah you're getting the cheaper knock off brand but if you have the spare cash I recommend these things. I've had it for 2 years and it's never let me down. It got run over once and just bounced back into shape.
>>1202322
You're going to go 3 miles on a penny board? Good luck.
Hey I'm taking my board with me to greece and Brazil this summer. The airline Imiles going with doesn't have anything with their policies dealing with skateboards. So how do you guys take your boards internationally?
>>1202373
I've gone 20 on my penny in one run before.
Don't listen to this guy he's just talking shit cause its not a traditional board.
>>1202412
That or a fatass wrestling fag who thinks 3 miles is far
>>1202411
I've traveled with mine before, I almost had it get stolen when I checked it once many years ago so I carry it on now. I take the trucks off and put them in my bag and just kind of tie my deck to my backpack and there's not a problem getting it in the overhead bin. Sometimes I just buy a deck when I get there from the shop and put my trucks on it. The only problem you'll run into is if you board last and there's not much overhead bin space left
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttZO4WK2aKY
Are pools supposed to be super steep? I'm talking steep to the point we're it's like skating a barrier with concrete on the bottom but 10ft high. Not even exaggerating due to lack of experience, I've skated really steep park bowls but this is fucking ridiculous. Maybe I'm skating the wrong types of pools?
>tfw no control while in the air
Been skating 4 years but have spent 99% of my time skating transition and bowls. Starting to get into flat and realised I can't hover over any of my tricks. My Ollies have to be super quick and I can't actually jump with them and hold my knees in my chest without one of my legs freaking out and doing the failing man air walk shit. Will ollieing off curbs, and moving up to going off of bigger drops fix this shitty habit? I can strangely do airs in and out of ramps pretty high as long as I grab though.
>>1201512
Like some don't know blunts well. It's cool knowing I can do that.

>tfw no more David gravette
Probably could've won if he didn't fuck himself over mentally and give away the first three letters.
>>1202129
They're pretty good, anon.They're supposed to be like 86B but they feel softer than my old 100A wheels. That's not really a bad thing, though. They're haven't flatspotted yet and I do a lot of power slides.
The only awkward thing is that they're red and my board is gold. It's a nasty clash.

>>1203018
>>1202322
Oh shit I didn't read this.
I would at least start out on a regular board and then put risers and longboard wheels on it. That would add up to about 110 bucks if you buy some cheaper stuff, but at least you'll be able to stop and actually slow down because you can stop with your tail.
>>1203023
He could get one of the cruiser decks
the have one kicktail and you can buy a complete with longboard trucks etc fairly cheap
And he can learn to ollie if need be
Do you use headphones or earbuds
>>1203040
i can't skate with music
>>1202911

other than that, looks good.
what size independent trucks should i get for a 8.25 deck?
>tfw looking up Nora skate videos and find this instead
https://youtu.be/QqBVE-_PwLU
There's a whole community dedicated to this weird shit.
>>1203132
139 for 8 to 8.25
149 for 8.25 to 9
im not sure i understand style. i know its making your skating look good but then why do people give nyjah hate? i know he is always perfect and shit and it kinda makes him boring but when i watch ishod he seems to have perfection down a lot as well. what are the differences? what makes one stylish and one not? their attitude?
>>1203285
style is the individual's kind of skating: how they perform tricks, what tricks they chose to do, on what terrain, what they like to ride (terrain). When you get stoked watching someone in particular skating, you like their style and in turn, that style influences you, like music or movies.
>>1203146
Must be some kind of fetish.
WES WE CAN!

>>1202294
>tfw watching people on pennyboards eat it.

>>1202785
RVD is truly the man to unite skatebros and wrasslebros

Best small-form cruisers (like the Landyachtz Dinghy)? Also best bag that would fit that sort of thing? My Dinghy just got run over.
>>1203513
I don't ride cruisers but I've heard good things about the Penny Nickel boards.
Also they probably bounce back after being run over so that's a plus
>>1200612
Fukou da!
I seriously see a dark future for ya.
Where's Black anon? Did he die in NY?

Should be easy to clean off helmet and shit. Rubbing alcohol that shit.

Finally got my pop-shoveits while rolling, i got scared as fuck when i landed my first one and everyone screamed, so i jumped off the board, but i'm landing them now. Got some friends that are also beginners.

>measure board at home
>turns out to be 8.25
Will I be okay to ride or do I need to drop the truck size? The package is already en route. Don't know whether or not to return them or save the trucks in case I do get a 8.75 in the future. What does /esg/ recommend?
>>1205727
why dont you return the board and have it switched
>>1205727
turn it back
tell them it's not 8.75
>>1205727
Honestly I would get 149's on a 8.25 deck, that's if you plan to skate bigger boards in the future.
159 on 8.25 would look silly and I imagine the feel on the skateboard would be wonky.
Pic related for an idea.

Its a matter of preference, both will work fine. 139s will be a bit smaller than the board, might make kick/heelflips easier, and 149s will be flush, with the edges of the nuts barely visible, with more turning radius . but each will work okay
>>1202493
you mean actual swimming pools? yes that's exactly what they're like. maybe 1% of pools in the wild have nice transition, the rest feel like jersey barriers, like wallriding, like you said. If you pay attention to legit pool skating videos like 'traipsin' and 'fruit of the vine' and whatever else you can see that even the ones pros ride are like that. also the paint is usually super slippery and sometimes stucco that will cut you bad. you have to really hunt for wild pools that have true smooth transition. Now you know why clearing over the lights / ladder is such an accomplishment. And I don't know what your problem with ollies is, but you brain will subconsciously kick the board away if youre not used to jumping down large shit. I don't know how to tell you to beat that, you just have to basically ride the board down its hard to explain its just a mental thing
>tfw slip out of trick and leg/foot folds under you
Seems like this and ankle rolls are the only way I fall that legitimately injures me.
Tried to land a 180 the other day. Front foot landed a bit too far up. And yes, that's some peeled of skin on my sock. Concrete was sweet though.
>>1206670
like your foot landed ahead of the board and then the board ran into it with your back foot on? be careful of that, my friend destroyed her foot that way & had to get plates put in from it. this was off a somewhat large gap but still. nice battlescar btw

I would diss on your girl skater friend, but im afraid of the karma. Hope she is doing well in the kitchen.

Are fat sneakers from 2000 more durable than the current trend?
>>1207762
Yes, but they're tanks. You can still buy some from Skatewarehouse though.

I like the idea but how many of them will stick to it?
>>1206739
>& had to get plates put in from it
sure she did
>>1207462
I liked that they wanted to learn, but how about you girls do it for yourselves instead of the camera and this is the wrong way by the way: you 3 should get together and learn how to do it by yourselves. Not have some deprived kook playing grab-feel.

Woah bro that's a gnarly cut, almost as bad as mine.
By the way, do you know where I can buy a illegal drug? I'm not a cop by the way lol!
New Ramondetta part, check it out.

Ayy how do you find real pools to skate?
>>1208403
Like ones you can find at someones backyard? You probably need to ask someone at you local shop or use google maps. Doesn't your skatepark have a bowl?
how good do you guys aspire to be?
honestly I see all this shit online where 16 year olds moan they suck because they cant lazer flip or some shit
am I aiming low just thinking having some basic grinds and a few flip tricks is good enough if I can do them well on anything i come across?
>>1207462
my girlfriend wants to learn with me
I'm getting back into it after ages though
she's a bit of a pussy though, im hoping this might fix that a bit though
>>1206739
Nah senpai the bump on my foot actually "landet" on the front edge of my nose. Wasn't the most painful experience of that day though.
>>1208603
I don't need much, I just want to be good where I can keep myself entertained for a couple of hours.
>>1208603
try to be as good as you can. Kids who want to lazer flip el toro so they can be sponsored, is in my opinion what's ruining skateboarding. Just have fun, and get as good as you can. That's it.
Some dude came to the plaza yesterday, took a couple of pics of me and said he'd like to shoot some more

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. Just looking to have fun, and I just moved as well so it's a pretty good way to meet some new people.
I wish I hadn't taken like 6 years off from skating though. Shit seemed a lot easier to learn back when I was 14 compared to now that I'm in my 20's. I'm way more scared of hurting myself than I was back in the day. Almost broke my back skating a miniramp a few months ago and that was pretty scary.

I want to never stop progressing. While hanging out and skating with your friends is fun, the most enjoyment I get from skateboarding is coming away from a session feeling that I've improved. Every time I step on a skateboard I try to do something better than the last time.
>>1208655
Fruity scooter kid in back.
>>1208422
yeah but its not the same. i skated with others before but never really inquired how they found them
>>1208603
I want to be godlike with the board control Mark Suciu good

I think you're setting your goals too high, Gary.

Yeah man, during the summer they're all over the fucking place

>>1208403
Google maps satellite view to find them then checking real estate records like Zillow and others to see if the house is abandoned. Or just driving past to see if it is

yo anon i'm coming back to chatham for a few weeks starting april 23rd. let's sk8 mayne
Where are all you guys from? I'm wondering if we got any europeans up in here.
I'm living in Maastricht and got no one to skate with, any benelux / rhineland bro's around?
>>1211208
There's a pretty healthy mix of North America, South America, and European anons in these threads. But even so, with less than 100 posters spread across 3 continents it's pretty unlikely that you'll find a local anon.
rate me
I'm fucking stoked boys.
Just got a new board at 22 after 8 years not doing any and never being decent in the first place.
First day and I have ollies down better than I did as a child.
Busted out 50 solid, if short ollies.
Last 10 in a row with no fuck ups.
On the way home even said fuck it and managed to ollie down and up the last curbs before my house.
Buzzing senpaitachi, glad of all the other old guys picking it up again on here to give me the motivation to buy a deck again.
>>1211284
Good to know, keep shredding anon.
>>1211208
Florida.
>>1211284
Congrats anon, I too was overjoyed when I picked up skateboarding again last fall.
I kinda wish I stuck with it when I was younger.

jamie thomas
i rolled my ankle two months ago and i havent skated since then. Fuck my life
>>1208643
Why are you early grabbing into it? Early grab body jars sound like they'd be hella awkward, just scoop into it man. It will look way better too
>>1211284
>picking it up again
did you ever leave it?
check it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLhWfTjNolI
What are the best insoles for jumping down smallish stuff? I'm not ollieing 20 sets or nothing and I still want some board feel for my flat ground game innit.
>>1197497
Best brand imo

I've been listen to the band for a while now, I remember seeing it in the OP weeks ago and enjoyed it.
>>1212327
yeah, I wanted to give an epic vibe to the question, like, "did you actually ever leave it?"-queue ominous but hopeful music.

http://www.santacruzskateboards.com/video/
threadly reminder that "films a part in 2 days" is this decade's Public Domain (not the whole video, just Vallely's part), it should ALREADY be in Thrasher classics or whatever and if you don't think that way you might as well step off your skateboard and start playing curling or go submit your CV to a bank, because you are lame and uncool and will never find true love and you probably think about "the economy's needs in the real world" and you want to grow up, you always wanted to grow up, since kindergarten.
You fucking kook Winkowski, I don't know if you are reading this, you may be a douchebag as well in real life, maybe not, release your part in 2 days again, bless all the new generation's sights with your SKATEBOARDING.
