>>But do soft cruiser wheels make it a smooth ride on shitty roads?
Totally. See pic related.
Tried OJ Keyframes and Bones ATF wheels, they're pretty good on rough terrain. The only thing is you can't really slide or do rotational tricks all that well (you will eat shit). Also, it took me a while to get used to the slight bounciness when landing or doing a running start.
>>1390798
>60mm
>vert wheel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5h-ZpWvx7U
Jokes aside, It'd be nicer if more wheels came in the 90-97a range of hardness for a nice blend between a wheel for riding and one for tricks.
>>1390817
wow. cool video

>that guy who has a "back" and "front" end of his board
Anyone in Chi going to The Garden my friends ditched me :(
>>1390990
ollie, don't forget to ollie, the quality of the rotation is directly related to the quality of your ollie. Pop a fat one and you will make a beautiful backside 180.
>>1391008

Got super sun burned skating today. Fuck summer.
Also to the anon I linked a bubblegum crisis torrent. The video files don't come with subs but have the files in the download. If you need help merging them let me know.
>>1390762
>Got super sun burned skating today. Fuck summer.
Houston biganon here, I can't even skate outside here in the daytime, it's fucking suicide. The only option is nighttime but it's still humid as fuck, just not fun at all.
Also holy fuck how is it so easy for me to push mongo as opposed to regular? Trying to get used to it but I fall on my ass constantly.

God I hate the kids that says tobacco smells bad and weed is nice smelling. WTF are they on about. Nothing on you anon just a pet peeve cause both smell "bad"(I like tobacco and you like weed cause we smoke em)
>>1390356
Just wait until it completely heals. I fucked my ankle up and everytime it gets better I skate and fuck myself up for another week. Already like a month or so.
Finally bought a helmet today. Is it now safe to go burly?
>>1391476
the smell of weed smoke is MUCH less pungent than the smell of tobacco smoke, coming from someone who likes both smells. tobacco smoke sets in and can be smelled for a long while after it's smoked, the smell of weed smoke pretty much disappears after a couple hours
>>1391430
that was some fucking excellent shit
I can't believe I can appreciate street skating by now
>>1391699
Might want to go early first, lad. Ease into it.
post OC
>>1391812
Hmm- how early is too early to wear this thing?
>>1391837
The question is how girly do you want to go?
>>1391828
nice man
>>1391841
Girly? I bought a helmet because I want to learn how to shred pools. Only have a long board but should be ok I think.
>>1391008
It's so damn hard to find perfectly symmetrical boards, I buy all my shit from the internet and the site I order from only lists how concave the deck is.
Bought a new one recently, the tail is a half centimeter taller than the nose, it doesn't look like much but the difference is really big, so annoying having to shuv like every other trick just to get the low side for tre flips and the tall one for ollies etc
>>1391019
False. The best way to bs 180 is to just do a bs revert with the smallest pop.
>>1392035
https://vimeo.com/17967832
my hand is completely raw from picking up my board so many times
fuck you niggers im mall grabbing now
>>1391874
>implying longboards aren't girly lol
actually, I've never understood that thing about go early go burly, if you want to learn you just have to do what you want to. I think that its cooler to go when there are some people on the skatepark (not full) because they could teach you things and its less boring, if you care what someone who's learning (everyone always is) thinks about you while trying to learn, you are still 2 inmature
jesus is my helmet
>>1390772
do em out of tail on transition, don't be a shit cunt bruh
>>1392082
>being a beginner who gets in peoples way is cool
no son, autistic memes aside. Don't do that shit. You'll be liable to not pickup on the lines and be oblivious to getting in others way. Ease into it and don't learn your super basic shit around others, unless they are friends or something
>>1392035
Disgusting
how do i ollie while riding? i keep wobbling out whenever i look for the foot positioning.
>>1392113
100% serious
do you have aspergers?
>>1392113
wtf man, are you retarded or what, how boring can it be to be always alone on a park, sweating and falling...
stop being autistic dude, if you want to learn you have to get out of your confort zone... I'm not from the US and maybe people can be different there but any time I see someone getting angry because someone with less skill is using the park I think:
why don't you fuckin buy/build you own fucking park faggot
parks are made by everyone taxes so everyone has the right to be there
>>1391828
GoPro or Iphone?
any good skate videos with drone footage?
https://youtu.be/Gi3FSCwsayA i keep turning when i ollie why
>>1392241
when you are bent down to pop, your shoulders are rotated like 45 degrees
they rotate as you come up causing you to turn
>>1392245
thanks
I keep landing my tre flips right on the nose, should I fling the board forward or try to jump backwards?
>>1392281
Dude are you seriously retarded and/or twelve?
>>1392285
man, being serious, I make the same question to you
>>1392296
If you're the guy I'm responding to, then you're a fucking retard who can't make a coherent point against what I've said. Instead resorting to petty "I bet you suck" type insults instead.
Like I said everyone has the right to use roads, doesn't mean your retarded ass can get in traffics way. Try countering that point
>>1392308
so that recent video of gonz skating in nyc roads is retarded?
>>1392071
wear gloves you pansy
>>1392311
Again you are completely missing the point. Gonz is an experienced skater, he knows what he is doing. Where as a beginner doesn't and should try to go when there are minimal people to figure things out without getting in others way when doing so. Otherwise they are very likely to kook it and roll directly in front of a common line at the park.
Like I said originally learn your super basic things by yourself or with a group of friends. Then ease your way into going to more crowded sessions, so you'll pick up on what others are doing and not get in their way. Bailing to avoid hurting beginners gets very tiresome, very quickly.
>>1392071
Either you're doing something utterly retarded to make it hurt, or you're a little bitch. Just holding your board doesn't hurt
>>1392113
I agree with this guy, if you're not comfortable on your board and can't ollie consistently, don't go to a park when it's crowded.
>>1392179
>if you want to learn you have to get out of your confort zone
that's true, but if you 're a beginner going whenever there are people shredding you 're constantly going to be out of your comfort zone and you might get disheartened. Either go early, that means when people aren't flooding the park and you feel comfortable if you MUST go to the park, or go burly, get out of your comfort zone and get familiar with slams.
To me, one should be improving within their individuality, i.e. their own rhythms and their own desire to get out of the comfort zone. Some people, or all, do want to experiment going out of their comfort zone, it's part of learning.
Thus, the skatepark etiquette: go early or go burly.
Anyone here skate Etnies? Any recommended models?
Just ordered my first complete, first time skating since I was a little kid. Pretty excited.

>also if you think it's fine to be there riding and practicing when people are there, you're a scooter mom
you sound like a fag desu
>>1392726
nah I think he's right tbf. If you're just learning how to ollie then you should hang out in a car park or on your mum's drive way.
>>1392686
Jeez, do they guard it that much?! Also I never noticed how terrible the bricks on the runup & landing are, really rough, makes it all the more insane. So is the place its at a museum?
>>1392686
>>1392862
I don't know if it's to stop skaters purely because I don't think any other skaters want to try it. But I could't see any contraction work going on or anything so...
It's in this new-ish complex of offices and stuff. There is a museum of modern art amongst other stuff. The set is behind the Centre de Congres, whatever that is.
>>1392686
fuck it, go there tommorow.

Nah man I quit everything a year ago. They're still good smells.
Any recommendations for trousers/pants/shorts for the summer? Something that keeps me cool on hot days but can hold up against as many scrapes as possible.
My old jeans are now frayed and ripped all over, past the point of passability and I really wanted to feel smart and get some milsurp shorts and go zookeeper mode but the online stores I find them on don't do them in my size.
I'm a waist size 28 so my options are pretty limited.
>>1393534
oh, I can find the shorts in the pic in a 28 but it's not reviewed too well
>>1390762
Get the fucking shoe review bullshit out of there. They're useless.
>>1393534
For shorts, I like the RVCA Americana Chino Shorts. They're breathable and stretch really well.
As for pants, I like Dickies slims and Volcom Chino's.
Try looking into those and tell me what ya think
>tfw making tangible progress
I feel like the day I go and dont make any progress I will lose all motivation to skate

>>1392726
You sound like an idiot who is deliberately missing the point.
>also if you think it's fine to be there riding and practicing when people are there, you're a scooter mom
Thats pretty clearly, not my fucking point lad. You can be there, but you're not entitled to be getting in others way with your beginner bullshit and going "but this is a public park I'm allowed to be here" is full scooter mum bullshit. You're oblivious ass rolling directly in front of someones line risks them getting hurt, cause you were too much of an idiot to know better. Which is fine to not know, everyone starts somewhere. But like I'm saying learn with as minimal people around as you can to avoid being a shit cunt.
Also

thats not what minimal means at all, you faggot

I just started skating and I'm trying to learn stuff. I'm trying to learn manuals, shuv-its, hippie jumps, and I'm trying to learn how to go down a ramp right now. I can't do any of these things yet and it's so frusterating just failing at these tricks while everyone else is having fun. Any advice?
>>1398474
the only advice you can be given is to not give up, start being aware of your center of balance, get comfortable crouching, learn how to fall and go burly
>>1398561
Go burly? Lift weights?
>>1398561
>go burly
>>1394385
...or you will strap up and go for it.

Think of the deepest, darkest memory you have anon. The most painful feeling you can remember. Now thrash it out on the park man. Let that bench know it can't control you anymore. It's your choice if you want to kiss a guy dad. Tell it who's boss. That's what helped me. Pic related. Its my board.

Gross, Kevin was a school shooter looking kid.
>>1399839
I'm on the same, hoping to go up to 8.5 since my feet are 14s. It's actually much more difficult than I thought to ride on a smaller board
>>1400314
I used to enjoy 7.75 decks since it felt so easy to control, nowadays when i step on the board and start rolling to the skatepark it feels like i can barely stay on top of the board. And it feels impossible to get a good foot placement for tricks, due to the lack of room. Honestly i would go 8.5 if i had money to upgrade trucks from 139's.
>>1399636
I think below 50mm they become too susceptible to cracks to be able to ride
>>1400354
Agree, but on good flat surface they are just as good imo.

When skating down hill what is the best way to stop? When I put my foot down to stop my ankle hurts, and I don't want to tail slide as it will damage my deck. The most I can do is bail out once the board starts to speed wobble.
When you guys varial heel do you push your foot on the tail outward? Or is it more of a pressure flip type deal? Every time I try the board just kind of sticks up in the air and spins, I cant get the full rotation.
>>1403238

>>1403238
You need to learn to power slide. Start by winding up as much as you can and spinning your shoulders to slide 180. Practicing from there you'll be able to learn to just turn them 90 and truly powerslide to stop/slow but start with sliding 180 to figure it out first.
You can also hang your heel off the tail, and step into it like you were putting the tail down to stop, but just sliding your heel like a brake. You'll notice there are some pros who do this. Sliding on the heel rather than the tail so you don't scrape anything but the rubber of your sole

reminds me of keelan being insulted by DGKs 120k/yr and quitting to do Honey because he felt he was worth more... & that was before the incident . Top tier skaters these days are ams like Daan, and they're not even getting the big bucks. Times have changed yet these older dudes think they can still get the same amount
>>1403813
yes, so sick! if you are into Dime, lurknyc, etc you will love this. or if you are into san fran, east coast skating in general, or Japan you will love this (basically a lot of tight spots and shitty ground). it has some of the most insane hill bombs ever. lots of funny interactions with bystanders too. definitely has a gritty, anti-authority vibe as well. lots of graffiti clips, running from the cops, etc. most impressive thing is maybe the length of the video. lurknyc came out with that ~16 minute video, Dime's recent video was maybe 12-15 minutes (don't remember). This GX1000 was a solid 40 I think.

>Go out skating today, see this in town centre
Is this shit even legal or is it just rentseeking?
This is the only sign in the entire town with no other markings, what area does the sign even cover?
For extra salt there are kids and teens fucking around with bikes (not legal to ride on pavement) and scooters all around the signs and have caused more trouble than skaters ever have.

Those are all over in America. Usually you can talk your way out of a fine if you're polite and just go home when they ask. In my old town they actually passed a law to ban skateboards from all sidewalks , and since you can use a non motorized vehicle in the street they effectively banned it altogether
>>1405759
Wait those are a real thing? I thought they were a meme

is that a rhetorical question?

Yeah they exist throughout EU at least, usually in a place where the population is mostly immigrants from muslim countries. They act like fools and yell racist stuff if you hang out in the "zones". But it's not racist if your not white i guess.

There's footage of the event last year and there doesn't seem to be any footage of criminal activity.
I've seen other events, although never skateboarding ones, that end up like this. Groups abuse the guaranteed big numbers to break the law/joyride/start shit for a day. Usually found in riots, protests and festivals.
Sometimes I wonder if someone is behind these hijacks but usually it's just the news channels showing the ones that form a narrative.

wait, you mean they didn't BUY ANYTHING?
what are we paying the fbi for??
happy go skateboarding day

Finally started skating at age 20
I had a skate I assembled from 5 years ago<
Girl Eric kostn deck 7.5(bought the cheapest back then, still cost like 50€)
Destructo superlite trucks
the blue fire/flaming face wheels
black panther abec 3 bearings
One wheel axle nut came off after going down an accentuated ramp, scary shit and it was annoying since it ended with my session of skating
Have like 6 hours of skating so far under me, can ride normally in the skatepark, go down some small and average ramps and drop in small ramps(practing in them to move up gradually, shits scary)
I'm learning to ollie, pulled it off some times but the board ollies in front of me while I go back
then I landed on it some times but it didnt quite seem a ollie since I dint "kick it" properly, this is the hardest part to me since sliding the foot to the nose seems impossible, feels like my feet is glued
any tips?
also why are all boards 8 inches now? I swear back then I could find millions of 7.5 decks now its rare af
sorry for blogging or being new but I hadnt had quite some fun in a long time since I started skating
>>1406583
yeah because i didn't want to start another boring 4chan EU referendum argument. I'm not going to convince you and you're not going to convince me. Instead, I saw an opportunity for some banterous shitposting and I took it.
>>1406624
>also why are all boards 8 inches now?
Bigger boards are super comfy
>>1406756
I heard they're worse for doing tricks, should I make the switch?
I was thinking of getting a 7.75 after this one goes into the shitter or I just get good to try bigger sizes
I think my friends board is like an 8 and feels hella weird, easier to land on it and feels safer going at higher speeds though
>>1406624
>the blue fire/flaming face wheels
spitfire familia
also big boards are good because if you live in an old city, commuting on old roads on a <8 is kinda rough

> In my old town they actually passed a law to ban skateboards from all sidewalks , and since you can use a non motorized vehicle in the street they effectively banned it altogether
This shit I'll never get. In California a person on a skateboard is considered a pedestrian, yet a buncha towns like to enact sweeping bans on skateboards on the sidewalk. Wouldn't the state's law overwrite the town's law?
