He was a huge deal when he rode for AWS and DC back in the early 00s he was like their up and coming am.

i like how people got buttblasted about him winning soty. competition has no place in skating, thrasher knows it so they give it to the guy they like the most that year. FA, love em or hate em had a great year and he is a co-owner. he also did some other cool stuff. also thrasher will probably give luan/chris/shane soty some other year man. ave was not gonna be in it again and he stayed relatively unknown but always killed and did just enough last year to have the soty that the skate industry thinks he deserves before the young guys end up taking their own trophy.

its just a remnant from when skating had unwritten rules about what was and wasnt "a trick" . now that everyone can do every flip trick im sure theyll come back eventually. for awhile though stairwalk/airwalk and kickflip indy were the only "acceptable" grab tricks

eric winkowski does a lot of sick grab tricks down stairs in this part http://youtu.be/0NJ4EHIrVYY check out 4:12

There's a group of 16 year olds at my local park who have started hanging out with us. They've only recently started skating but they're getting okay. They're all cool and clearly enjoy skating.
anyway, he just messaged me asking for spare parts for his buddy who wants to start skating too. I told him I have some old shitty wheels, some old shitty bearings, some old shitty nuts and bolts, and some old shitty decks. Then he asked me how much I'd sell them for.
Should I sell it to him or just give it away?
>>
>>1326527
If you have no plans on ever using them, give them away.
>>
>>1326527
I'd give it away if I wasn't set on using them ever again. If they're anything like I was as a teen, they'll owe it to you.

If you'd rather sell them then go ahead. I wouldn't know much on that front since I've never sold before.
>>
>>1326553

Cool I told him he could have it. He's pretty stoked. I feel good.

And I just bought my bf a dominos to help him with his revision. I'm the fucking best.

ive always liked the skateboarding vibe and whatnot, so want to get into skating

compiled items in the pic to start off. it's honestly more expensive then i thought, especially the wheels and the trucks.
deck: magenta €65
wheel set: €48
trucks: 2x €35 = €70
Total is €183.

Any modifications to make it better and to make the total come down a bit?

Skateboarding is expensive in Europe, so you can't help it.
Your setup is fine, all you're missing now is grip and bearings.
>>
>>1326703

Shit.... I just did the conversion & i can't believe how much more expensive this stuff is in Europe....... Really sucks. You could pick up a shop deck and maybe cheaper wheels I suppose, but at the same time, that setup is awesome & maybe worth the money? I would ride that, that's legit.

Maybe ask around the park if there's someone who could sell you some used Indys?
>>
>>1326703
just get a complete
80-100 euro, even cheaper on sale

also you forgot bearings, hardware like screws and bolts and a skate tool to tighten and loosen the trucks

yeah. I could go full supreme trough the london store with decks and wheels and it'd be cheaper than the un-supreme versions of the same brands here.

Try Ollie's and getting higher tried ollieing on this one foot obstacle my back trucks get caught. But I spent 3 hours doing it and riding switch in between to just try other thjngs. It's been 7 days since I first started skating. Really appreciate all the help I think by the end of summer if I just stay committed and ride every day and challenge my self I should have kick flips down. Have a great a weekend.

yeah i wanna know too it seems like its some type of project. is their any set gx1000 crew of skaters? i mean the most i know is what is on here http://zackcrisostomo.com/gx1000/

but its still confusing cause it doesnt really clarify who the skaters are and why they do it. is it a brand? or is it an independent venture?

I always thought it was single filmer, hes been credited in other videos too as additional or guest filmer.

>>1329262
We will bud if me and you were skating together probadly get it faster but I'm so new I'm skating alone
>>
>>1329211

One thing that helps for ollieing higher things than youre used to is starting your Ollie sooner & farther away from the obstacle than you might think you need to. It takes time to get the board lifted and leveled so give yourself extra distance and time to do so. Good job dropping in , you always got to slam sometimes at least you made it to the other side first. You'll get used to kickturning around and coming down the other side regular stance , start practicing it as low as you want and you'll eventually be able to do it from a drop in. Start trying kickflips asap because part of it is developing the muscle to actually flick your foot, it doesnt just come magically, so start working on that flick motion by trying them asap even tho you can't do them yet
>>
>>1329095

Pretty sure GX1000 started as a feature on thrasher and GX1000 was just the title of the feature, so multiple people were contributing for the filming, but over time it became one guys project, don't remember his name but he posts on pals forum I believe. There isn't a set crew but it is just the crew of people he works with and who have been featured in it before, then there are the regulars like All Davis and JJ. At one point they were going to make it into a company so maybe now that the videos done that's going to happen with the crew that was in the video?

I'm 27, weigh 250 and 6'5 (looking to lose weight), can only ollie and sometimes kickflip. Should I spend the money for a new board, which I haven't bought in at least 7 years, to try and get better at the craft. Don't know who to ask rather than you guys without getting laughed at, which I'm sure some will do with my experience on 4chan. But this is my first time posting or anything in this general. I just am looking for some sort of guidance since no one I know skates at all.
>>

I just don't want to be that old pathetic guy trying to learn new skateboard tricks. I don't have a board now and just don't want to invest if I'm going to be looked at as a loser. I'm already looked at that way in every other aspect of life if you feel me.
>>
>>1329928

dood, i just started this year and i just turned 26. i'm close to landing my ollies and getting my shuv-its on lock. just go for it! I skate alone and whenever kids come up to me wanting to skate, I skate with them even if I don't know anything. Just have fun with it!
>>
>>1329928
You will be looked at as a loser regardless of what you doing on a skateboard. So try growing a backbone and try something new.

Has Duane finally lost it or has he just smoked himself completely retarded instead of only kind of retarded?

At my board and it's fucked me trying to correct my posture. I have rounded shoulders causing me to lean over my board instead of squatting when setting up.

This is why I love SOTY. It's a reminder than style trumps numbers. The person who had the biggest hype deserves SOTY, not the person that trains to skate for parts or contests.

Got this today and skated for the first time in 5 years. Couldn't land an ollie. Can't believe how little balance I have now. Slid out hard just going down a tiny hill, lol.

Now it's raining and I don't know what to do with myself.
>>
>>1331188
were you able to do these things 5 years ago?
>>
>>1331190
Yeah, I was just 15 at the time but I had ollies, fs 180s, kickflips, shuv-its and such down. Nothing really too technical. Didn't have anywhere to skate then. Now I live in a city with a sick skatepark and I'm hyped to get back into it and ride there.

I still had stuff down after 3 year hiatus. I believe doing some sort of exercise regularly helps with getting back into skating.
>>
>>1331198
Hm? I don't know I only got to skate for a few hours. Maybe I'll pick it back up fast, at the very least I know how I'm supposed to do the tricks.

It's like in my head I was just gonna step on and be fine, but it took a few minutes to even push without almost falling over.

>>1331208
Yeah, I got super depressed and lazy for a while so I probably just have no muscles in my legs anymore.

GX1000 is a filmer named Ryan Garshell(?). The series is just a homie video project that started in Slap Magazine when web parts were just popping off. Most of the first vids were in NY and has the dopest endings. It's never going to be a company, it's just a few homies and a VX

>>1331772

Squat as low as possible , work on learning powerslides because even if you can't do them, if you can at least push one frontside and then lay back to slide out on your ass that's a safe way to abort when they start, and avoid ever just going straight line, always want to be carving at least a little bit because it means you're keeping control of the board, also overtime you'll learn when your trucks and bushings and board is all set to handle a huge bomb and when not to risk it because your setups not right

Question somewhat related, Who creates the artwork for decks? are they well known or is more the brand than the artist themselves?

Graphic designers, the only one I know off the top of my head is Evan Hecox, the lead designer for Chocolate. Crailtap is the only company that likes to spotlight the artists and guest artists for series.
