I like it, seems more appealing
Anybody know what the weird coping they're using on the miniramp for the Woodward miniramp game of skate is called? Never seen anything like it
I wonder if they just paid someone to sit there for hours with a circular saw and cut the pattern into it?!?! Or is it some specialized type of pipe you can buy? It doesn't seem to go the whole way around the pipe. No clue what the advantage of this is, though it does sort of make a cool sound, sort of

Me again. Always seem to miss when the new threads start so I can't get in the sticky
I am so fucking ready for the summer. Waking up, linking up with some of the guys at the park, skating some spots until the sun starts to go down, drinking some beer, causing some hell and having tons of fun.
I plan on making this one a good one because literally all my friends are moving out of town to go to college and i'm the only one left behind because I'm such a fuck up.
Can I justifiably use a 8.375 or 8.5 board on 8" trucks?
>>1242425
Yea definitely
>>1242427
Is there anything I should look out for? Like will wheelbite fuck my life up, will stuff be harder? Easier?
>>1242437
Well if you look closely you'll notice a lot of pro's setups have the trucks thinner than the deck, so its not that uncommon, at least for me I think it makes flicking flip tricks a bit easier. I don't think you'll wheelbite more, your wheels will be closer to the lowest point of the board but not by much at all
>>1242460
I've actually never noticed a pro with setup like that, but I'll keep an eye out for some haha.
Makes me feel a lot better about the fact I won't have to replace my theeves that have been hardly used. Thanks man!
>>1242388
its literally to sound good and feel "grindy"
if a house had been sold at a foreclosure auction does that mean that no stupid shithead is still trying to live in there right? found the perfect backyard pool.
>>1242522
If it's been sold at a foreclosure auction it means someone bought the property and there will probably some stupid shithead trying to live there.
>>1242461
check out Ellington's setup here (http://youtu.be/sU3oakwLoxM) its a 8.625 on thunder 147s which are 8"
What kind of theeves do you have and how do you like them? Do you happen to have the full titanium ones?
>>1242388
diamond coping
>>1242528
nope it was bought by an agent and has not been listed for sale so i guess i am in the clear
>>1242562
They aren't the full titanium ones, but I really like them.
I've honestly got not wrongs with them I'd suggest it. They're good on price too
>>1242628
yep ill get buckets, a hose and funnel to empty it, a rope, and other shit to clean it.

what are you seriously one of the faggots that believe skating is truly "art".
>>1242697
neither. It's a toy, a game. It's not a sport, definitely not a sport.
Ben Hatchell's raising the bar, but watch after 2.31, where he does the trick that Daniel proposed...then he proposes and Daniel doesn't follow through, where did that edit go??

I want to add to the DV vs. iphone/DSLR discussion from last thread >>1242087 >>1242111
imo it's not just about retro nostalgia. DV simply looks better. it gets a bad rep as home video, but so did 16mm, which if you're not aware ended up becoming the arthouse standard. DV has a physical materiality that HD can't replicate even with lame ass post-processing that any layman can see right through, unless it's expert level.
like, look at any "b&w" movie shot on an HD camera vs. film, for any indie release. the difference is always obvious, even on feature films. the editing room can't jerry rig something on that level unless it's a professional studio using RED cameras with fincher level post-processing technique. anything less, it's going to look like shit.
music videos, indie films, they all look like fucking soap opera trash shot with these kiddies shooting on DSLR. just because it's convenient and accessible doesn't mean it's good
and just because DV is cheap doesn't mean it's bad. it just means it's not appreciated. pedro costra shot half his movies in DV. and they look amazing. david lynch shot lost highway in it, too. they look far better than the majority of low budget films to come out in the last decade despite using far cheaper cameras. you can get the cameras they used for sub-500 today, when they originally retailed for 5k+ intended for industrial use
yea, in the proper hands, you can make anything look good. but it takes a lot more work to make DSLR look even remotely acceptable when DV comes out of the bin looking fresh af. it might not be HD but what the fuck does that matter? they're edits, not BBC nature docs.
anyone shooting on anything besides phone on digital deserves to be shot. get with it or get out
>>1242700
>toy
this. skating isn't a sport, it's not a lifestyle, it's not an art, it's not a hobby.
skating is simply fucking around with useless wooden toys.
http://youtu.be/J59svhLjiTo
This part was completely insane. This kid is on a whole nother level. The noseblunt at 1:37 and overcrook the curved rail at 3:26 are unbelivable
>>1242743
>anyone shooting on anything besides phone on digital deserves to be shot. get with it or get out
what about super8? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt6vqd0Gx7E
Anybody else here a dish washer? The top layer of my skin on my hands is always peeling off from being wet for 8 hours a day and my thumb ends up completely destroyed and bloody and destroyed from grip tape after every session. What can I do to prevent this besides wearing gloves or doing less grabs?
I was thinking of just taping it every time I go skate.
>>1242756

>>1242700
mateys, proper skateboards are pieces of athletic equipment
Like they were certainly initially toys, but this thing is designed in a certain way to be very durable and for very specific purposes.
Like trampolines are fun and shit but they aren't toys.
A cheap walmart board with no concave is a toy, a deck designed to have you flying around bowls, down stairsets and vert ramps is sporting equipment/
>>1242760
he isn't saying he has callous.
His job is stopping them from forming.
Soft bleeding thumbs aren't what do it for most girls.
>>1242760
Because I skate 5-6 days a week and trying to grab your board and spin with a cut up thumb doesn't work, I lose any type of grip in my hand by the third day.
>>1242774
commercial institutionalization is definitely not what defines a sport senpai. according to the olympics it's just those activities defined by physical dexterity or athleticism.
but it doesn't matter if skateboarding might qualify. it's not a sport and if it is, it's not skateboarding, it's "skateboarding".
skateboarding has always had its edge, it's always been defined by constant rebellion against attempts to codify and limit it. it's literally street surfing. it's boundless. fuck off with your shit
>>1242756
just put band-aids on around your thumb. do it when I apply fresh grip
>>1242743
Dude, I fucking love you. Thanks for the logic.
Do you guys ever get pain in your thighs from skating? I can't tell if it's coming from my knee or not, but I've also been skating a lot lower on my board lately to the point where I can run my hand across the ground when skating at the park, so maybe I'm just exercising my muscle more?
Only real reason I'm asking is because in paranoid about getting a blood clot.
why the hell isn't KOTR available?
>>1242895
You can watch ist on all the normal video hosting sites for tv shows And shit
Best company to get blank decks from?
Preferably where you can get a deal on 3 or so decks.
I got a blind complete and it's razor tailing and chipping a fair amount already, don't feel like spending 50 euro on a new deck every month before I'm actually breaking them from good use and not repeating ollies 100 times an hour.
>>1242931
Cheapest I saw was skate warehouse had them $20 each. Dunno where you could buy in bulk though
>>1242320
>upset
You misunderstand friendo :^)
>>1242984
Yeah I saw that before too, but I wasn't sure if they were any good. Looked kinda sketch. Have you ordered from them?
>>1242984
Do they ship to Europe?
>>1242628
Is the rope to hang the homelessfag?
>>1242922
nope
it's nice to use tricks you recently learned in a line, even if you land them sketchy they make you feel like you are in a early 90s video.
my flatmate has shitloads of ritalin and says I can basically ask for some whenever.
Do you reckon it would be decent for getting that intensity to just do a trick 500 times till you bolts it every time?
>>1243385
just get candy with you, like a choclate donut or two and take breaks whenever you feel like it. If you have anxiety over people watching you, with ritalin the only thing you won't be doing is concentrating on skateboarding.
>>1243385
oh and not to mention that you should ask yourself what will happen if you break your board or you don't make the trick at all.
Totally new to this; just checked the pastebin,but it left me with a couple of questions.
I'm a little nervous about putting together a skateboard, are there any prebuilt boards that don't sacrifice quality? Also, is buying used boards a good idea?
>>1243805
you can buy a prebuilt at your local shop. they typically are alright. i think most big board brands also have decent completes
>>1242881
i want it to be a "sport" just cause it will get more people skating in poorfag countries. but if normies get into it in rich countries id be pissed. skaters are fucking weirdos and should stay that way
>>1243815
sweet. I would feel better if I could buy a prebuilt and learn how to build one later by replacing shit as it messes up.
Anyone had a pair of these before?
They look comfy as fuck and it would be nice to have a pair of skate shoes to wear to work
>>1243825
what you said was very chauvinistic.
>>1243828
there is nothing hard about building a board bar maybe gripping anyway
>>1243805
When you go to a skateshop they'll actually build the board for you as you're picking out what parts you want. That's what most people do anyway most people don't walk out with a bunch of parts to build at home. The other cool thing is that you can ask for 'shop bolts' 'shop bearings' 'shop grip' and they will be free, but a generic brand, so you can save a bit of money that way. A lot of shops do this, maybe not every single one though.
>>1243930
On top of this a shop will also do you a sick grip job

Those braille videos are fucking garbage and I'm unsurprised the only effect they have is turning people off of skating. That guy is an actual scientologist and desu he sucks at skating don't worry about him and his pedo fucking self, why does he hang around little kids anyway? Adults go to the park at night when other adults are there that dude is a creep
>>1244564
Mind if I ask how much you weigh homie?
We look to be around the same size and I been lurking these threads wanting to start but I was afraid I was too big.

>>1245007
When I was like 8, and I was only really able to go forward. Was one of those "walmart board" kids.
>>1245008
better than not at all. At least you have some familiarity with the board. The world has far more serious issues and, despite my paranoia as well, is far more accepting than it was 30 or 50 years ago. So go and have fun.
>>1244990
>not Canadian or American
So you are mentally disabled.

were you around back when /asp/ started? I only started coming here again the past few days but you look really familiar, especially in that first area where you roll down grass

Pretty good, you the guy with the green grip?
>>1242746
Reductionism can make anything look stupid. Because in reality everything is stupid. Anything that takes you further from Christ is pure frivolity.
>>1242756
Hold your board by using the middle line of your thumb as the point of contact with the griptape, don't know if anyone else does this but I haven't had grip thumb for well over a year now because of it
>>1244564
Damn dude, you skate some really fun spots.
Where do you live?

Yep.
>>1244564
I seen that you aint relied to anyone.
But how long you been skating?
bought this a month ago, it costed me 80 euro in Spain (50% discount). Never skated before, it's fun.
Did I do good ? I like it a lot, but a bit disappointed by the whole “you can't tricks with a longboard“.
>>1245413
if you're disappointed that you can't do tricks with a longboard why the hell did you get one
>>1244601

>>1245422
Did not knew shit about skating when I bought one, and thought that I'll probably never try tricks because I won't have time.
Now that i've realized that skating is fun, I kinda want to do some so I'll probably buy a cheap regular skate

Stand moar. I used to get sore thighs and knees after skating, but after getting a job where I'm on my feet for hours on end I don't feel anything
>>1245591
I feel like that was at least 20 times longer than it needed to be for the point he was making
Fuck I hate this... I only see ppl skating and I want to fucking get in, but my fathers totally forbid me to get one. I live w them so I cant do much... just keep drinking outside.

I feel it was as long as it needed. Was the argument clear? Then good, because the person who wrote it is fine with never becoming a pro, so I doubt they would be bummed if they never won a Pulitzer

The argument I got out of it was that anything that makes money for "the sk8 community" is good for skating, so the IASC can choke on a dick.

How do you skate without destroying your body by age 25

>tfw no friends
>>1253219
Honestly the major ones, like skateboardcity are just as slow as this shit is and full of 15 year olds.
Not to mention half the time you are reading posts from 2007.
and that pace is diffused over multiple forum sections so it honestly feels slower.
If you can bear it reddit has a section but there is only one thread for actual discussion and it's reddit
>>1248791
>a quarterlife crisis
can we stop with the bullshit "medical" terms?
>>1253285
Thanks anon. I honestly can't figure reddit out. The place is a confusing mess.
>>1248844
desu a huge amount of serious injuries like broken arms are because young kids try shit they aren't ready for.
But you are going to repeatedly injure yourself skateboarding, deal with it.
The body is quite a sturdy thing as long as you aren't an idiot about it.
If you don't want to be airing out of 10ft bowls or jumping down 15 stairs then calm down, you don't have to.
>>1253289
midlife crisis isn't a medical term
It's just a joke at the expense of middle aged men who suddenly decide they need a Ferrari and an affair because they forgot to do any of the things they wanted to do in life.
Anyone know any good places that sell cheap blank boards/trucks/wheels in australia.
Kinda similiar to blankdecks.com i guess
>>1253162
slap magazine has a pretty good skateboarding forum
Any suggestions? Budget is around 200 EUR.
>>1253460
Those wheels are quite big and seem pretty expensive. If I were you I'd swap them out for some 53mm minilogos.
Other than that it all looks good.
>>1253539
There are no minilogo wheels in this online shop and also not in my local store.
I read the pastebin guide and the STF have the same price. Should I better get some 100's-OGs?
I'm not shure if they are too hard, because I also want to skate in my village.
>>1253746
You'll be fine with either
I love the feeling of being on a board, even if my (adult) career is only like 2 hours long. Couldn't get any tricks or an ollie but I'm definately gonna keep riding for the summer. probably helps with the depression and friendlessness thx for reading my blog
>>1254429
>probably helps with the depression and friendlessness
I know how you feel, I've been skating for 1 year now and it really helps. Feels really good.
>>1254474
I have to ask, what are you able to do now after a year? Do you feel you have come along well?
Do you guys ever hit your head while skating? I feel like any other kind of injury is fine. but head injuries scare the shit out of me..
>>1246523
Totally
>>1253411
Fuck that. Imagine the worst tripfags on 4chan and place them onto a forum and you would get Slap.
>>1254486
I'm a slow learner, so far I can ollie, fs/bs 180, pop shuv and 50-50.
Currently I'm working on my kickflips, it's a pain but I feel like I can land it soon.
>>1254684
no, i dont see how it could happen unless its on a gnarly rail or you slip out from the board. and usually i can control that. i still skate bowls with helmets though.
>>1254684
Most of my falls are me slipping out and landing on my ass or hitting a pebble and do a nasty body flop.
>>1244564
Radical dude. I truly enjoy it when skaters use the environment creatively like you do in this video. Keep doing everything you're doing.
>>1254717
no, I 'd check in on Slap from tiem to time, they had some good guys there who could also skate, but I got banned when I tried to register, don't know why, kek. So now I can't even read it anymore.
>>1254957
i see it more often as edgy skate kids and oldfags that use it as a personal chat room
>>1254967
the thing with forums is that you can have the epic discussions archived and since it was and is a pretty active forum the good times never stop.
>>1244555
Im 28 and still skate. Most the dudes at the skatepark I go to are all 20+.
Hell, I saw an older guy with a grey beard who had to atleast be in his late 40s frontside 5050 a ledge 360 flip out last week at the skatepark.
Dont worry about age. Just skate
>>1254684
I hit the back of my head once when I fucked up a rock to fake and ended up running backwards down the ramp until the floor came up and fucked me.
>>1255054
that sounds like it sucks anon. was it really bad?
Apologies if someone has asked this before and I've missed it, but I'm curious about much weight a board can realistically hold; I'm 6'5 and weigh about 300 lb currently (although that's down from about 315 about a month ago before I started going to the gym).
Am I too heavy to be able to use a board properly right now? I don't wanna buy something only to break it.
Like I said I'm hitting the gym and my current goal for this year is around 220. Should I just wait until I'm at that weight?
>>1255080
>I'm 6'5 and weigh about 300 lb currently
metric motherfucker, do you speak it?
>>1255191
Sorry, I'm a britbong, when referring to body height and weight we usually still use imperial.
Anyway here
150kg
195cm
>>1255211
I weigh far less than that and have broken my last 3 boards due to landing sketchy flips.
>>1255059
Hitting the back of your head always sucks. Luckily it wasn't too hard so I just sat down for a few minutes.
>>1255080
just do pic related
>>1255239
Every fucking time.
>>1255080
Get an 8" Blank deck and stickers they are your budget friends. Buy some bones reds bearings and 80-99 durometer wheels depending on how shitty the surface you will be skating on is. Get independent 139s. You can break decks and wear down wheels. But your truck's will last forever and your bearings can be cleaned and re-used :)
>>1255080
Get one of those P2 or impact boards. That's what I see husky dudes skate at my local park.
>>1255239
Kek, I remember that.

I'd advise a bigger board than an 8, since you said you're taller, I think it'll be better. It's all preference though
>>1255531
chris jones!
Who else enjoys the shapes and concave feels of old school (80's/early 90's) boards? I have a few right now and I love them, even if there's no nose kick to work with and people constantly mistake them for longboards.

It's hilariously sad that Welcome turned into the poor man's version of Polar.
>>1255520
thanks for posting that. He's the shit, the real deal, he's the best skateboarder of this decade and I 'm only sad he got his "film a part in 2 days" down, although this is just as good.

I don't even understand why other people are still pro. Does anyone out there have any shit on the original Welcome team? I think not.
This is now a Erick Wynkowski appreciation thread and fuck everybody.

Mark is really a lowkey kind of guy, most dudes with his kind of talent are all over the place

Whats the movie called with the inner city kids fucking shit up when they arent skating their dicks off.

Is this what you're looking for Senpai?

Wassup Rockers? I think the odd future crew recreated a scene from that a bazillion years ago
>>1259647
Kids, Wassup Rockers or maybe Ken Park?
All good movies, Kids is the best one

Still waiting for the Frog Skateboard decks to be released

I really like his style, I bet he'll be pro for Santa Cruz in 2 years

So i got a trick not long ago today, took me 4 tries
https://youtu.be/FVOKfYVAfdM
>>1242460
Not true
I specifically only skate 8" boards with 139's(Indy's for 8"?) and i once got a gimmick chocolate board(with the "spring loaded" kevlar plies in the middle)
Not only did the Kevlar plies were obsolete(i already have a great natural pop so i didn't notice jack shit) but the board wasn't even 8 inches
It was written underneath the griptape that it was 8 x 31.65 and on the price tag it said it was an 8"
I have great consistency and i always landed 1 trick on 3 consecutive tries even if it was flat, rail tricks or anything else
I would always land on my board and get force stopped by a wheel bite and it really pissed me off
Came home on 1st or 2nd session(it was 3 years ago) to grab a measuring tape and it marked 8 inches and 1/4
Then it all made sense, sold the board half price i bought it and bought one which was 8inches wide
Never had problems with wheel bites since then

If what you are trying to imply that you're working as a dishwasher for fucks sakes wear damn rubber gloves
All the chemicals in dish soaps are harmful for your skin, would you rather get judged or daily infuse your skin in harmful chemicals resulting in the slow degradation of your skin/body and ailments coming with it?
Now do whatever the fuck you want but don't be surprised to have fucked up hands because you consciously bath them in hard chemicals 8h a day

Sugoi, half cabs tricks are fun
>>1260151
It was nollie tho
>i'm from that school of thought that half cabs are fakie 180's(Steve Caballero is responsible for it) and nollie 180s stays nollie 180s
Why does nobody like Welcome anymore?
t. out of the loop twoish years, used to be a big fan
>>1259470
>Future Sellouts
kek, apparently not according to what you said
also
>Jeff Phillips= washed down Neil Blender
try and refute this
>>1260280
>I 'm definitely not an adidas marketing guy

Something, something, something Nolan and Monarchs, something, something, something, Jason is a Jew.

>you will never live life on shane oneill ez mode
>>1260463
That would be lame.
>>1260224
Does it matter whether it's fs or bs? Cause I usually see fakie bs 180 as a half cab

Bruh, that's just a name of the video. I doubt they could've predicted how big Suciu would've became. Just watch the fucking part.
>>1261041
and I made a joke about it. What's the deelio? I 'm catching a lot of hate vibes from you lately blanon, you can't fool me and don't try to hide.
Why is pic related so popular? I see at least 90% of skaters use it.
>>1261146
It's just Diamond grip with a bear on it. Torey is making mad cash off of it.
>>1260280
I still like and buy a lot of Welcome boards
Skated high for the first time today, was pretty great.
Just started smoking weed regularly but smoked too much today and had no spacial recognition for like an hour and kept pumping transition too late/early. Once that cleared up I skated better than I normally can.
10/10 would do again.
>>1261280
Me too.
>>1260753
>does it matter If I kick in when my toe for a heel flip? I mean, I know it's technically a kickflip but my board is still flipping!
>>1261074
Aside from that, I've actually been pretty calm though
Suggest some good boards that have a simple or trippy graphic design on it. Always been a fan of Toy Machine decks because I like characters and stuff.
I ride an 8 and live in Canada so preferably find one on a Canadian site.
>>1261523
Vancouver-kun? Antisocial skate shop have some trippy Toy Machine and Quasi decks.
>>1261546
Small town Southern Ontario fag. Any in particular you recommend?
>>1261523
These look trippy, have you seen them?
>>1261594
Haven't seen any of those before. Look pretty cool though.
>>1261599
Saw it on Toy Machine Instagram, art is not drawn by Templeton but still looks good
>>1261594
holy shit man, I need one
>>1260286
>comparing Neil Blender and Jeff Phillips
They were both talented skateboarders that were beyond their time. It's retarded to compare the both, honestly
>>1260280
I remember Polar(Pontus Alv or whoever is running the account) made a comment on one of Welcome's post saying "this board almost looks similar to one of ours." A few hours later, I came back to the post and it appeared Jason deleted the comment. I really wish I could've screenshot that. Jason is an egomaniac
>>1259982
>Frog Skateboard decks
is that Nolan's new brand?
>>1260792
>turns frontside
>says a caballerial is a fakie backside 360
This is why I can never name tricks correctly
