What the hell, there's more than one Decenzo??

Yes, Scott and Ryan.
Ryan is currently pro for Darkstar and Scott is am for Plan B.
Canadian shredders.
Anyone know where to download lots of skate movies? I have lots but I also am missing some essentials like Flip Extremely Sorry, can't find some of the with good quality anywhere.
>>1334943
Fucking great. Tampa is pretty fucking lucky in that department. Its the heat that fucking sucks. Lots of the parks have no scooter signs but I might see a BMX or fruitboot once in a while.
>>1335280
Pirates Bay?
>>1335325
Why is Orlando such a piece of shit
>>1334943
It sucks here, I live in the capital city of my state and there are literally zero skateparks other than the ones 20 minutes outside town. Everybody got excited about this big one they wanted to build downtown but the city refuses to pay for it, says all of us have to fundraise. They came up with that idea like 4 years ago and no one's heard anything since. Probably won't be built til 2020-something.
We also used to have 3 skate shops, now all we got is one. Total bullshit.
Hope you guys are having a nice Memorial Day weekend, go out and learn a new trick.
>>1335368
I plan to, I'm really close to landing my first kickflip. All I need yo do is commit and get my front foot on the board.
>>1335368
I will anon, gonna land my first good treflip for you.
Thanks for non autistic edition of OP. Just replace skatepark etiquette with Go early or get raped, you PC kook
is wide & baggy coming back?
2bh fuck that shit. Loose and cropped is pure function
>>1335605
Skateboarding is about fashion not function
>>1335605
Honestly it's all about jeans that actually fit you
Skinny enough to form to you and down to your ankles. You can't go wrong with that, will never go out of style
>>1335368
Fuck you, I sprained my ankle.
>>1335343
Cause Orlando is for the tourists. Don't worry soon Tampa will claim all of Central Florida.
But yeah Tampa is great. Three great skateparks, Skatepark of Tampa, Bro Bowl 2.0, and New Tampa Skatepark are all great. And within an hour is Bradenton skatepark, Brandon Skatepark, Lakeland skatepark(you should really take the trip there since it's in between our cities, great skatepark) and the Bradenton Go Kart DIY(Really fucking cool place).
God bless Team Pain and SPoT.
>>1335605
I always wore baggy champion sweats so I'm happy. And since I'm skinny Dickies are also baggy enough for me.

They were never really on torrents they were on #sk8vids and #skatevideos on irc if I'm remembering the DCC channels right. They might be lost to time now, but maybe see if those channels still exist. YouTube has almost everything though, but usually cut into individual parts so you need to search
>>1335174

>>1335368
i landed an ollie today. doesn't feel good because it was so low.
>>1335368
got nollie shove its on lock.
currently struggling with back 180s.
yo guys im getting to be alright at skating, like starting to get all my 180s down and my heelflip, kickflip and and tre flips down. BUT the ollie is just something i keep fucking up im goofy and well my foot motion, indicated by the line on the pic, keeps curving frontside at the end of the motion making my ollies turn frontside each time and throwing me off the board. anyway i can get rid of this? it happens just at the end of the motion, at the nose, and i try to practice stationary and i still cant beat the slight curve at the nose. seriously i'd be down to do any exercise or practice method at all to finally be able to ollie normally.
>>1335940
also thats my foot position exactly if it has anything to do with that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOsrt_TSIxA
who's the guy at 11:50?
>>1335999
it literally says mark suciu a few seconds after
>>1335999
Mark Suicu
>>1335940
Experiment with pointing your front toes more diagonally. That fixed the problem for me almost immediately. When you get it just right all you really have to do is focus on bringing your legs up while your foot slides along the board.
got a new setup today
Palace 8" deck
Independent 139 mm trucks
Spitfire Formula Fours, 52 mm
Bones Reds
>>1336114

Cheers man and the other guy, piratebay does have some but lots have no seeds. I'll try find those channels. Youtube does have lots but the quality is usually terrible when you download so you can sit back with a beer and watch them on tv. After watching crystal clear vids, it'a hard to watch a vid that'a really well made but just a horrible quality, it feels like you're missing out on what could be.

DC shoes - fat guy, probably drinks monsters at the park and throws the cans on the ground right next to the garbage, wears a fitted football team hat and affliction or shitty graphic tees, usually loud and obnoxious but funny to hang around because he's such a fucking retard.

What's a good brand of knee and elbow pads besides killer 187? Recently bought a pair of theirs and they don't fit even though I went off of their size chart and they're being Dicks about taking returns so they can fuck off.
>>1336114
a e s t h e t i c as fuck
Should i go for F4's/STF's for around 50€, or just get pig wheels for 22€ while on discount? I feel like 2 pairs of pig wheels will outlast 1 pair of "good" wheels. I have heard pig wheels are pretty good actually.
>>1337533
And it sucks to be an eurofag, aren't bones STF's like 35$ or something in the U.S?
>>1337533
Greetings from across the pond, eurofag! Check-- I'd give the Formula 4s a try. They are quite difficult to flat spot and take a heal of a beating. I haven't ridden anything else since my first purchase. Pig wheels are fine, though. Still, if you have the extra euro, go for both, but (assuming) since the weather is decent out there, why not spoil yourself and ride something great? But honestly, you can't go wrong with either option. I'd go with the formula 4s; younger/broker me would have gone 2 sets of pig. Hope this helps.
>>1337578
I'm pretty poor right now, might have to go with the pigs even though i want to try F4's. And yeah the weather is great and i'm planning to skate every day during summer, so i'm expecting wheels to wear down quite fast.
>>1337143
I want to ollie
>>1336114
I like Palace and I'd get one but everyone here (london) rides them. I guess because you can get them cheap. I'd rather stick to Isle and avoid the main stream.
>>1337143
varial heels hnnnnnnng
>>1337533
Buy from a european company for cheaper wheels. Haze are amazing quality from France. I've had a set for over a year and they've not flatspotted once.
>>1337725
I couldn't find them for cheaper than 50€ unfortunately, my local shop doesn't stock them either.
>>1337354
its average I guess. I haven't skated it enough to tell yet
>>1337728
But yeah i might still go for these honestly, seems like a rad company and would be cool to support them.
>>1337363
I stand by my words, my nigga
anyone have experience with tum yeto decks? looking at toy machine for my next deck.
I feel like making an impulse buy, i want to try a 8.375 deck after only skating 7.75 decks. I would have to get new trucks as well, should i do it? I actually have 3 decks left, but i feel like i would enjoy a wider board more.
So...
No one's going to talk about Adidas Away Days?
>Miles is one of the major reasons why Organika is dying.
Can somebody please explain this? How is he causing Organika to die?
>>1337905
I would finish whatever current setup you have now before buying new deck and trucks
>>1337337
Es era Bobby was my favorite, goofy dude
>>1337178
>Van Wastell
He did kickflip manny then switched to one foot midway.
He almost landed a one footed 50-50 on a handrail too.
>>1337934
Miles Silvas, along with Zion Wright and Lil Dre, was one of the reasons Organika was getting so much attention from younger skaters that don't know who Karl Watson is or don't care much for Walker Ryan and Josh Matthews. Then a few months after Eli Reed left, Miles left, taking Walker, Zion and Lil Dre with him, along with all the recent attention. Now Organika is left without an Am team and three of their pros are gone.
I doubt Karl can just roll on with him, Josh Matthews and Quim Cardona
>>1337905
Give away two, keep one in case you regret it.
Does anyone know what the quality of Palace decks is like? My friend says they snap easily but i'm not sure
>>1337922
I'm kinda disappointed with it in terms of aesthetic. The colors were too flat and they could've done with better b-rolls but whatever, the skating was great and so was the soundtrack. For something that took 3 years, it's a bit eh but still good. The reveal in the middle was also shocking.
>>1337533
Import them from the US. You can get the STF/F4 for ~36€ on tactics right now.
>>1337696
because bones swiss last you for years
>>1338215
I've owned bones swiss and they lasted me less than 6 months. For £40 that's a joke. I'll stick to the cheap shit thanks.
>>1338220
6 months? did you skate in the sewer? i've had the sames pair for over a year now. you must be a fucking retard
>>1338123
i didn't know what to expect, so i can't say i was disappointed. as for the aesthetics, as someone else pointed out in a previous thread, adidas has a diverse team. i think maybe the flatness gives every part a "sameness". also, like black anon said, the gonz sort of glues everything together
>>1338236
The lighting on some of these shots are really wack
could have done for some camera editting
>>1338236
Even though we disagree on Bobby, I like and appreciate all your webms. Especially this one.
>>1337143
Switch Hardflips and FS 180 SW crooks
>>1338236
chronicles had better colors, desu. maybe they didn't plan this properly, considering it's their first film and all. a cinematographer might help them on their second feature. agree with the gonz gluing everything together tho, his parts were great.
>>1338250
thanks
>>1338264
i haven't been focusing on flat lately, mainly grinds. i could barely switch flip, but i'll try switch hard if you try them too
>>1338273
This technically isn't their first film, they made Diagonal in 2009 with Torsten Frank, their current cinematographer.

>>1338329
Let's do it.
>>1338222
yeah i know people who have had the same pair of swiss for 5 years, with proper maintance and no unlucky hits to them they will last.
>>1337538
I get them for 29.99 at my shop, F4s are usually around 35 they seem to be more popular so maybe that's why
>>1337876
They use the Watson laminates woodshop. They're not that great to be honest. Not bad but not good. That being said I've had my fair share of toy and foundation decks, but not because of the quality
>>1337954
Good taste. Es era bobby was a god. Had his color way of the "firstbloods" too, great shoe. He's still amazing but that was his apex I think
>>1337922

>my friend told me that x decks snap easily
Just because your friends deck snapped after 1 week doesn't make the companys decks bad. Super small sample size, and i bet that every company has had the same thing happen like 100 times. My friends always boycott a company for 1 broken deck, like really fuck off haha.
Is it normal for your pushing knee to get swolen and sore just from pushing in your first couple days? It isn't too noticeable unless I try to ollie, then it hurts a lot.
>>1338720
yeah. you're trying something new, you're going to feel new and different types of pain. your body is doing things it's never had to do before.
>>1338723
Ok cool, was just slightly worried I messed something up. I guess I can just spend the day pushing switch and maybe get used to that
>>1338737
nah don't bother skating switch so soon. just rest for a day or 2. you don't wanna burn yourself out. if it still hurts after you take a break then maybe get it checked out. we aren't doctors, just giving common advice.
>>1337415
Thanks man. Appreciate the cheer up. Board and rest of the shit coming on mail.

On one hand, I have never felt so free in my life. The wind in my hair and having nowhere to go. Just exploring my small city one block at a time on my board. But I feel like people are judging me. Especially being not a kid anymore and on a skateboard.
>>1338805
I feel the same way at 23. Oh well, my skatepark is usually empty.
Also, skating drunk sounds terrifying.
>>1338805
what do people possibly fucking yell at you while you're skating
i'm 24 and nobody has ever looked at me funny or said anything to me or anything like that
i follow most of the trends too so i probably look like a retard to people that don't know about skating or skate culture
>>1338820
I don't get too drunk, just buzzed or a little tipsy. It makes you want to skate really fast and aggressively. Weird thing being at my age is that all my old tricks came back to me in like a week of skating, really easily too. I'm taller and thinner than I was as a kid. Haven't tried any gaps or staircases yet though.
>>1338822
People yell stupid shit constantly, maybe because i'm in a smallish town in Florida with a bunch of retarded ass hicks. People honk their horns, say dumb shit like "oh look a skater" or "do a kickflip!",

When should I start learning switch? I went up a steep bank the other day, then when I started to roll backwards it was comical how off balance I was. I was like turning the wrong way and freaking out as soon as I got a little speed, lol.
>>1338894
when you're 100% comfortable skating normally imo
>>1338894
I didn't get decent at switch until I fucked my leg up and had to skate like that for awhile.
>>1338847
Oh cool, I live in North Miami
>>1335605
I don't think I'll ever be able to comfortably skate in jeans
Shorts till I die
>>1338918
Is it cool to skate miami? I've only been there a few times. I was going to go down there this weekend because I had 3 days in a row off but memorial day jacked the hotel prices up like 3x. I was gonna go down there with my skateboard and see whats up.
>>1335605
i've been rocking the hybrid version of those 2 since i was like 13 so whatever
Anyone else feel like skateboarding is dead? When I was young in my town on any given day you would see groups of 10 - 20 skaters out. I never see that anymore, and now that I got back into it I don't see any other skaters. I'll run into the casual longboarding faggot or some queer on one of those little penny boards but not a legit skateboarder. What happened?
>>1338945
In my opinion, it's stale.
There are a few spots in the downtown area that are worth looking at but the Police are full force this summer.
But recently some dudes from MIA built a DIY spot under the I-95 bridge, which is great if you like tech skating.
>>1338993
nah, brah, maybe your scene is. everywhere else, skateboarding's pretty much alive
>>1338894
just work on pushing switch. bomb small hills switch. after awhile it feels much more normal. then the tricks come easier
>>1338993
all the kids today who skate only do so at parks. they don't really skate street unless they're specifically going somewhere to film something. Its weird. That being said your random skater today is like a hundred times more skilled than your average skater was 10 years ago. Its just changed.
>>1339047
yeah growing up we rarely went to parks, all day all night in the street.
>>1338993
I see people learning to ride long boards mostly, this dad was teaching his son how to ride which was pretty cool. The parks are usually empty but in weekends one gets pretty burly
>>1338932
I can't skate in shorts, I need that thin layer of protection.
>>1339106
Me neither, its like an OCD thing when I see dudes skating in shorts. I can't do it at all. I need pants, shirt optional.
>>1339106
shorts and knee high socks are my steez
>>1337672
we'll get it anon
>>1337052
w2c those pants
>>1338822
A middle aged lady shouted at me to stop skating on the pavement as I rolled past. I stopped and asked "what?" and she walked off mumbling something about pensioners.
That's about it.
>>1338993
The community in my city is abnormally large for a medium sized UK city. Loads of parks, a GIY spot, a couple of spots in the middle of town that constantly have skaters in. Apparently, according to my mates, the scene used to be way better for street, but the city has done an overhaul of some of the old, famous spots from the 90s. It's a shame, but they have invested a lot in parks so...
>tfw none of these spots exist anymore;_;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJaSrFwQxb8
Anyone see the GX1000 video? Is it worth getting?
>>1339058
yep same for me. that being said the only parks we had around us were dusty indoor shitholes you had to pay by the hour for, or terrible prefab ones with holes in the ramps.. I think if I had access to the number and quality of parks the kids today do I'd be at the park all the time too, even though I'm still nostalgic for the way it was back then
alright about 5 days into learning to skate my walmart board that I bought 7 years ago snapped in half
probably going to go to a local skateshop to buy a board, however all of the ones near me have shit sites with no catalog. im super picky about designs because imo most of the are obnoxious as fuck, I just want something minimal
in the case that I can't find a deck that I want at a shop, what brands should I mainly avoid if I buy online? I don't wanna get fucked again
>>1338822
>what do people possibly fucking yell at you while you're skating
not that guy, but here in chicago i get yelled at regularly by motorists and cyclists. the most common one is "get off the fucking road" or "skaters belong on the sidewalk" or something. even though i obey the traffic rules religiously, even though i always stay more than a car length away from anything moving, even though i always assume they can't see me and let them pass, they act like i'm in their way. it's so stupid.
>>1338876
>i hate the "do a kickflip" so much, like im some circus monkey doing tricks for you rofl.
it annoys me too, especially when it's a group of jocks or drunk college kids. sometimes i pretend i'm about to do a kickflip but at the very last second, i flip them a middle finger instead, smile, and say "go fuck yourself". all in good fun, of course. just busting their balls.
the thing is, i also love yelling it when i see other skaters. can't help it.
>>1339886
Go on skatewarehouse.com and browse the deck brands so you have an idea of what you like.
>>1339886
You can go in an just look, lots of people do that, you can also ask them to take the board down from the wall and stand on it to see how it feels to you. If they have carpet down somewhere put the deck on the carpet not the hard ground so you don't scrape it.
Most shops have shop decks that are just a logo or plain color and are of decent quality if you want something minimal, theyre usually cheaper too
should i get pic related? I need a new deck
>>1341011
TRAITOR
>>1340455
yeah i'm definitely going to do that then before buying anything, thanks
i got bored and built a deck online anyways, how would something like this look?
keep in mind im basically brand new
>>1341215
Looks great, but getting hardware with one colored bolt would help a lot. That way you can tell the nose and tail apart
>>1341356
oh! I didn't even know that was a thing, thanks.
how would I tell on the board itself? im guessing there's some sort of indicator on the bottom?
>>1341011
If you're black, yeah.
>>1339047
>they don't really skate street unless they're specifically going somewhere to film something.
Definitely depends on the size of the town. You go to a large city with urban areas and you will see people on the streets. Once you start to go to smaller cities or college towns it becomes less seen, which is probably due to excess in silly laws and bored people looking to enforce them. Gotta remember there was a time when some schools outright banned skate clothing.
>>1341441
this
>>1341011
who makes that? Santa Cruz? i know they were doing some SW licensed stuff. or is it just generic?
>>1341411
the graphic is usually oriented toward the bottom, so for that deck the pandas feet are probably toward the tail, you can also just put a mark on your grip, or cut a line into it, youll see other people around who do that once you start skating more & yea that setup looks tight & fine parts
>>1341762

i mean his back feet btw
I made a video, boys. I only have two clips, a front tail fakie and a sort of pole jam. Let me know what you think. I'm aware that the sound is really bad, I'm looking into a microphone to replace the internal one in my camera.

I'm 6'1" & 125lbs. I am one hell of a skelly.
>>1339644
Haven't seen it but a lots of people thinks it's the best vid out this year.
>>1341411
also the tail is smaller than the nose. but imo the direction your nose and tail face don't really matter to much some people disagree.

Will try that, thanks
Ugh, I can't be assed to clean and lube my bearings. Do most people?
>>1343363
Has a really cool atmosphere to it, with that initial frustrating mistake and carrying of that one person. It's like kinda sad but in a nostalgic way. Music choice really makes that
Love it anon
>>1343834
nope never have. not even once
I want to head to the skatepark and for the first time ride some small ramps and shit. Previously I'd just fucked around near my place.
Will I die?
>>1343500
I have a little bit more weight than u, but still a skeleton regardless. Most skateboarders are skeletons though, burns a lot of energy when you skate 2+ hours a day. I can't be arsed to eat 4000+ calories a day just to get some weight when i don't even care.
>>1344088
Yes.
Do it anyway.
>>1341215
holy shit thats cheap, i have to pay 200€/220$ for that identical setup.
>>1337060

>>1343872

>>1344810
I hope they have some in 8.25, cause I really want one
Anyone else skate alone? Nobody I know skates. I'm lucky because I have a sick park, but I'm the only one there EVER besides two BMX dudes and sometimes scooter kids.
It gets boring alone though
>>1344911
I just started and I tried to get a few friends to start with me but they never want to actually do it, so I mostly skate alone in the parking lot by my house
I hear you anon, shit sucks
>>1344810

r8
>>1345045
Slav/10
>>1345045
>Two completely opposite board brand stickers
>Nike SB that actually aren't Janoskis

>>1345072
Nah, Slavcore for skating would be Palace and Adidas.
>LONDONACTIVEBOYSMAFIA
>*bumps Skepta*
>>1344810
I'm going to be honest and give y'all 5 years to enjoy this brand. Unless old Welcome comes with it, it will be eaten alive
>>1335181
Who wins in a game of team skate?
Decenzo Bros vs McClung Bros.
>>1335368
I recently got 50-50 to back boardslide on flat rails. felt nice.
>>1337143
A fat fucking air out of any concrete bowl +10ft feet.
are hookups decks by ps stix?
>>1345254
yes
>>1338123
The b-rolls were so bad. It made me realize how much I love Baker and Sk8 Mafia for their filler clips. So much of a teams personality comes through on those parts.
>>1345270
watch out, if you like successful board companies you'll get shit on for not supporting the generic meme hipster brands like pizza
>>1339106
hahaha. every time i think its a good day to wear shorts and skate I get a guarenteed shinner.
>>1343504
Im holding out on Volcom to get stoked.
>>1345254
>Peach
Samus is the superior Nintendo girl.
>>1344815
I thought about hitting it with some salba sauce reently. any thoughts on this?
>>1345234
Decenzo bros because of Ryan alone he's in a whole different league
>>1344911
It sucks but at least you have a park.
;_;
>>1344307
Tail bone, copers, nose guard, rails.
Guys, I'm a major pussy and I hate it. I can land ollies and shove-its semi-regularly in grass. But everytime I try rolling I just get scared and jump away from the board, or I don't pop the tail. Sometimes I bend down and just never get back up, lol. I dunno how to break that barrier of the first rolling trick when I know I'll probably land on one side of the board and slip out hard
>>1345380
Have you fallen down before? How much did it hurt? Not much, right? Exactly.
>>1345412
Yeah I know it won't hurt, I don't know what my deal is. My body won't work with my mind
>>1345163
R u dum bruv? Slav core would be classic reeboks and blank decks with a graphic burnt on with a jacked up lighter.
gf surprised me with the lakai MJ jenkem collab shoes
they're pretty nice
kinda want to get a new deck for that new shoes new board feeling though
should i get a crailtap board and go all out
>>1345380
>I know I'll probably land on one side of the board and slip out hard
so what? It ain't going to make your life shittier than it is.
>>1345439
Only if you need a new deck.
>>1345478
>only if you need a new deck
no fun allowed i see
>>1345480
Fun is for the weak
