this comment is the best.

more like this pls. also, looking for softer wheels for street. i live in an area with a lot of rough spots. any recs?

Fucking bearings, decks and shoes m8, i fuck up and break at least something every month.
Bought bones atf a few weeks ago and noticed this today. Is there any kind of warranty? I messaged my local on insta about it but I'm skeptical if they'll do anything.
>>1283182
I doubt your LSS will do anything.
bones.com/why/warranty/
I don't know where you're at, but it could be worth it to ship it to them with an explanation of what happened. Worst case scenario you lose some money from shipping and lose a broken wheel if they decide it wasn't defective. I'd bet they'll send you another set and cover the shipping though since I've never seen a wheel do this.
>>1283207
You should probably include a receipt or other proof of purchase as well.
>>1283182
lol I bought a set of bones STF to try them out and they did the EXACT same thing. they were good up until that point I guess
>>1283182
You should be able to get a replacement for defected products
>>1283182
just power slide them down until the holes are gone
We should add
http://www.skatevideosite.com
To the OP. Its a great database probably the most complete list of who rode for what company when, and skated to what song in what video. I'm sure a lot us go on there anyway but maybe it should be in the next OP.

Found my first hookups in the wild yesterday
>>1283559
nah, don't like it.
I want to support my local skate shop but their deck selection is lacking because they'd rather have fuckboi sneakers and t-shirts, so I'm going to bring a deck in and complete it there. Post cool decks or links.

is this an ode to your skating, i.e. a lot of nollie tricks, nose manuals?
Whats the most underrated brand in your opinion?
>>1283719
phatjuice, makes great bearings but they have a shitty reputation because of that antisemitic stuff in the 90s
>>1283719
Underrated in what way? The quality of the product or the image they present themselves in?
Anyway
I like SML wheels, they are really tough and slide really well

Slowly but surely.
>>1283585
They might be able to order it for you 9/10 if they're a cool shop. Sometimes the people the shop gets it from (the company, distributor) doesn't have anymore, either and can't send it to the shop anyway.
I definitely encourage people to support shops! People can build local, private parks with the money sometimes that comes in from a shop. Stuff like contests, jams, random skate teams coming through to do demos. All possible with shops.
>>1283559
Sweet, what kind of wheels are those?
>>1283559
Damn, dude!
Yeah, I'd definitely not want to boardslide that thing at all.
>>1283559
Fuckin mint, id probably hang that in my room lol

thanks, i have a boner for black trucks.
Can anyone give me some tips on no-comply? I gave them a good try today and realized that it's a lot harder than they look.
Please help lads
>>1284223
Doing them straight without an obstacle is hard, you have to step forcefully, then really snap the tail, bonk it off your knee pretty much, then jump back on. Doing them straight using a curb to bonk the tail on is easier. Step onto the curb and let the tail hit the curb it'll even itself out and you can get on.
Frontside 180 is the easiest NC. Turn your shoulders all the way, as far as you can front side, while having your front foot heel hanging off a good amount, back foot centered, then just slip the front foot off, and the tail will hit on its own, and you should front 180 on your own because you wound up your shoulders, pivoting on your front toes/foot. At first you'll have the board land first, then you'll step onto it, as you get better you'll be able to jump with it, and get on before it lands. If you have trouble getting it to work, try to get your front foot off cleanly first, after that, work on getting a good snap of the tail, but the key is really you want to push the board around with your back foot after the snap... That's why winding up helps as well it will help you get that front side pushing motion of the back foot you need. You kind of want to "push" the board a full 180 with you back foot, literally turning your back foot around with the board
Backside .... Its the same... Step off, scoop, step on... But its much more exaggerated, hang your front foot toes off like the whole way, just your heel on. You want your back foot toes deep in the pocket. You need to scoop the board hard, like a shuvit, really... It needs to 180 fully way early to make it through your legs or your just gonna hit the back of your knee. Hope this helps
>>1283871
Sweet, thanks for the info. I'll ask them about that.
>>1284244
I see, thanks lad.
Also does it matter if I hit my thigh instead of my knee?

Can I skate an 8.25 deck on 8 inch thunder polished trucks? been skating mostly 8.1-8.2 decks, really want to get this deck.
>>1284876
yes you can
>>1284876
Yea I skate Thunder 147's just fine with my 8.28
>>1284298
if you watch some skate tips on no complies, they usually say you should make it hit your inner thigh.

Black wheels and black trucks look so edgy. 2/10
>>1286103
>black = edgy
found the 12 year old
>>1285440
I really like the look of Polar decks. Maybe next time.
>>1286111
excellent choice
i plan on buying that deck soon
nice grip job as well
>Predictions?
Birdhouse looks like they want to win at all costs. Last episode they were in the van after the board building contest talking about how they should have cheated by peeking. This plus the clip of what looks like Clint pushing someone off their board during a trick attempt makes me think they will win but look like extra-juvenile twat-jocks in doing so.
Go Toy Machine/Chocolate!
>>1285440
Had one of these, it was an 8. Broke it on a varial flip today. Planning on getting an 8.25 or something.
>>1286171
birdhouse doesn't need more money
chocolate is corporate shill tier now
toy machine only team that deserves to win
>>1286171
I just want a gf like Lizzie
how the fuck do i watch gx1000
is it going to be sold at skate shops or what
>>1286205
Sold as a DVD in selected skate shops. Saw one this morning at MIA
>>1286185
I love Krooked.
>>1285440
9" Black Label Jeff Grosso with Bukowski graphic by John Lucero circa 2000
>>1286171
Birdhouse is good at this sort of team shit, also clint is a certified dick so they've got that working for them too. They're going to be like Zero was, multiple years of wins, calling it now
Happy 48th birthday to the Birdman.
>>1286457
Damn, vintage.
>>1286473
They are for sure systematic like the Zero team. The documentary that talked about Jaime having all the spots lined up in each city sounds exactly what the Birdhouse team is doing. This kind of regimentation feels so sports team to me so I really just hope they lose to the stoner Toy Machine dudes.
>>1286457
If you haven't watched the Weekend Buzz with Lucero and Grosso then you dont deserve to own that deck. Everyone should peep that episode. Really good.
>>1286103
Not OP, but something tells me you are most likely an asshurt Zumiez kid who probably looks like LMFAO riding around with your skull candys and lunar nikes®. Why dont you post your neon pennyboard and show us what a real man rides?
>>1286651
>you don't deserve to own that deck if you don't watch an online video
kill yourself kook
>>1286491
Correct me if Im wrong here, but did he really do the 900 when he was 31? That shit is fucking insane if thats true. Gives me real hope.
>>1286682
You're correct
Is it possible to have a /sk8/ board on 4chan?
>>1286761
No?
>>1286761
Well they gave wwe its own board sooo...
Also there is a /sk8/ on e.ig.ht chan but its slower than this thread though
>>1286666
>>1286108
Okay, perhaps edgy was the wrong word. I just think that coloured trucks and wheels look really cheap and poor quality for some reason. Kind of like they belong on a Walmart board or something. They just give off a plastic kind of vibe. But whatever, ride what you want to ride.
p.s. >>1286111 is my deck and I have silver trucks and white wheels and I'm 22 not 12 and they don't even have zumies in my country.
>>1286903
That's what you'd think but its not so true anymore, is: guy, ave.. Kostons fully flared part was all him in his 30s (assuming the earliest footy was from 2005) .. If Reynolds kickflipping UCI gap (staygold ender) is "his 900" he did that at 32
>>1286813
I see what you're saying, but it's black. lots of raw metals come in that color. It also matches the deck and bushings so I would give that at least +5 more points putting it at a 7/10. I think I also see the color of the wood matches the green on the wheels. Thats another +1. If he has white/black hardware I would give him +1 more point.
>>1286919
Good point. What do you think Kostons 900 was? Also Ave's and Guy's?
>>1286933
hardware is all black
i don't try to match anything
i had the deck laying around and i always buy matte black thunders and these are the hardies collabs so i copped instantly
>>1286948
back to 3/10 then.
>>1286960
that's fine, keep being a kook and judging people based off their setup
>>1286972
1/10 for improper usage of kook. enjoy your overpriced trucks you hipster wank
>>1286984
>i'm a hipster for having black trucks
please end your life you fucking poser
what's it like never leaving your fucking driveway
>>1286960
It's FA.
Anything from Dill is a automatic 1/10
>>1286939
Back when he was cool he did a switch tre blunt on a rail.
>>1286989
haha just so you know Im not the guy who first called you edgy, but now that I see how insecure you are over them i think you may actually be compensating for something bro
>>1287013
Around 28ish? Not sure, math isn't my strong suit
>>1286457
Fuckin dope, aren't you the guy with all the Hook-ups decks? I remember you showing us your set up.
Had some new decks come by
>>1286939
I wish I was more familiar with Ave and Guy to know their most groundbreaking shit but for koston I'd have to agree with the other guy who said the 360flip noseblunt, even though it was a small rail its still pretty insane
>>1287061
Local brand?
>>1287074
My own actually, just getting things off the ground
>>1286171
THERE ARE NO FUCKING RULES
THATS THE FUCKING POINT

yo im so baked watching skate videos when youre not skating is the shit, koston rips.
>>1286939
AVE's was the DC video
Jason's was Skate More or like the other anon said, FA
Koston's was definitely the 360 flip noseblunt. His switch hardflip and switch bigflip down the double set in Fully Flared comes close for me as well.
....so what's Pops' 900 then? And I never really asked this before but how does /esg/ feel about him?
>>1287412
shit was dope
might as well post my new setup
>>1287200
Like, don't get me wrong but besides Yaje and Brandon, I really couldn't tell the difference between the others. They all basically have the same style and stance, their only difference is their shoe sponsor (which 3 of them are on adidas)

that's the undercroft on London south bank. I used to walk past there every day. Never once saw any skater do anything worth photographing there. Just a load of poseurs and fashion photoshoots.

It was 3 years ago apparently but there you go
>>1287440
I like pops. He was good as fuck in his time, and his fully flared part was certainly ahead of the curve by a long shot. When FF first came out I can't lie I thought his part was stupid. But that's certainly the direction skating has gone in, and it feels current when you watch it today. I also like how he doesn't try to be fake, even if he comes off as a dick.
I don't like the way he posts photos of """""tricks""""" on Instagram but there's never footage to prove he actually did it though
>>1288487
Worst 2hu
>>1288487
do you even skate? you posted that board new ages ago and it still looks untouched.

Nice deck, i dig single color simple graphics.
I'm pretty much brand new to skating, can someone explain to me what the difference in trucks are? Is it the weight? What's desirable in different pairs?
>>1288875
This was after about an hour of skating. It does a little bit but I really like how it looks distressed.
>>1288909
Weight, size capabilities, turning response and how durable they are.
In my personal opinion, the four best brands are Indy, Thunder, Venture and Krux.
>>1288952
How would I know what size is right for my board?
>>1288966
Depends on what size your deck is, since every truck in labeled differently.

The different geometries of their designs result in different turning, and weight, and materials used affect grinding (esp titanium trucks like theeve), you'll develop a preference for which brand you like and which model with time at first it doesn't matter much

cool.

Replace the shoes with sk8 his and you got it.

Sk8 hi's are great tho, maybe Old Skool is a better replacement.
I've never had Mob grip untill i set up my new board today. This stuff eats both shoes and fingers god damn.
>>1289377
agreed. I got a pair of sk8his last year and I love them. But now everyone wears any kind of vans with the stripe. Cut them off mine so I don't look like one of them

>>1289596
But do they have customers/sales?
>>1289689
They're good in the sense that they're all a high top needs to be and nothing it doesn't. Also because every pair you get, in whatever color, feels and skates the same. They're dependable like that. But the downside is, they're vans so they fuck your feet up and go bald fast. I like to always have a pair on backup. Want to try the ones with a zipper in the back

Nah false alarm, it's a guest board.
After leaving Anti-Hero few weeks ago, Andrew Allen now skates for Hockey.
Thought? Personally I was bummed that he left the 1-8 but on the bright side Hockey seems less boring to me.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BFXH9nyTNNN/?taken-by=ave
https://youtu.be/xZ8kumHKij0
>>1290012
i think its sick but definitely a step down from the 1 8 ... that drunk driving graphic is wack af tho
>>1290012
I know it's the same thing but it's better that he's on Hockey and not FA.
FA is lame with those Microsoft Paint tier graphics.
I wonder who's taking his spot on Anti Hero, maybe that Beres fellow?
Dropped the 3 stair today for the first time so basically i'm the best ever.

Tried to do this lame caveman thing that I do after that as well but security was coming out and didn't have time to land it. Was having a hard time catching my board because it was dark out.
Okay so not exactly skate related still skate related:
Did the CKY crew take off because of Bam's skateboarding, Jess being in CKY, or DiCamillo's videography?
>>1290159
I think it appealed to the skate crowd because Bam was in it, and that crowd stayed for the antics of the the group. Plus there was some cool filming and CKY just went well with what they were doing which made the video fun to watch.
>Did the CKY crew take off because of Bam's skateboarding, Jess being in CKY, or DiCamillo's videography?
tl;dr a little mix of all of them

Mark is saying it like it is. He's basically saying why advice shouldn't come into play.

So good. Can't wait to see his Away Days footage.

This is the best I could do for now, taking product shots after I get home

Yes, I like MC. His style is so 90s and early 2000s without looking like a stroke victim.
Also Tony's street skating was still 10x better looking than D Way's, so I take that as a compliment
>>1290222
His style is great but his eccentric personality puts some people off. He's not a skater for everyone

Must've got annoyed by Gerwer and Hewitt
