Stop it. It's embarrassing. It might not be any of you guys but it's just embarrassing.
This excludes being hurt, completely different
>>944762
>>944768
Fine, I'll go pimp myself out to buy a fucking RED camera and become the kooky Ty Evans of St. Louis. See you in a few years with my drones and steadicams. Hopefully, I'll find one of you guys to film your wonderful ollies in 4k and all that debt will go away because you got sponsored by Red Bull and I stopped skating to pursue making a full fledged We Are Blood ripoff.
(that was all sarcasm)
But seriously, thank you for telling me and I'll continue to make shitty videos because I really don't want to buy a DSLR as an entry point to go HD when there are better cameras out there that are an easier transition point from analog to digital. Especially, since I'm not in a position to drop a couple grand on a camera with no promise to get into the industry.
>>944832
I hate when people sperg out rly hard and break their boards n shit
Like cmon have some self respect
if you had the chance to flo for a brand of your choice, which company would it be and why?
>>944837
Do what you want, people are just telling you that you can do things without making excuses.
>>944844
I know, especially when it isn't even something that warrants that much anger.
Today I saw a grown man scream fuck and fling his board into the fence.
He was trying a nollie kickflip...
>>944832
found the passionless robot
kill yourself idiot
>>944862
found the man baby throwing his board down the three stair he can't ollie
>>944848
welcome
indy or thunder idc

bones
>>944866
the worst thing i do is yell "fuck" kinda loud
it just doesn't bother me when other people flip their shit, they obviously just care a lot about what they're doing
the fact that it bothers you is kind of autistic desu
>>944832
I get mad when I hit a pebble and it makes that damn screech sound.
https://youtu.be/NulgtJrRfPQ
>>944874
I don't care that much, I just hope nobody in this thread does that shit because they want to look cool.
>new deck arriving tomorrow
>Anti Hero 8.5
I'm so excited, lads. I also bought a sheet of clear grip so I can do something sorta fun with it. The anon with the Taylor Swift photo in the last thread inspired me. I'm going to do something similar, but with a photo of Molly Bair (pic related).
What do you guys think about skate nicknames like "jaws" "mango" the lizard king" ?
yelling and getting mad will only make it more likely that you will not land the trick and continue to fuck up.
also, why are you guys afraid of going fast?
Speed = balance
new people make sure you aren't just practicing your shit sitting still.
>>944882
>Taylor Swift
>Molly Bair
If I ever saw you skating on that shit I'd beat you up, take your skateboard, your shoes and your money and leave you crying in the dirt.

Alright.
Can Molly do a sick Frontside air like Cardiel?
>>944904
bully me all you want you'll still suck at skating
even jake johnson said he liked my grip job
>>944882
i'm glad something i did inspired someone although i do recommend using a girl that at least looks like she's of legal age because yeah that's kinda fucked up
>>944909
Don't give yourself a name, you have to earn it.
>>944917
Yeah, pretty much.
>>944925
That's dope, Dylan told me I was handsome and like my shoes once.
>>944925
I bet I skate at least 4 times better than you do little kid.
>>944937
if he says you're handsome i believe him
what kind of shoes were they?

>>944925
>>944940
I was joking, I only saw him skate across the street last year in NY.
I'm very ugly to be noticed.
>>944951
i figured you were joking about the handsome part but not about the shoes
that was more of a lie than a joke anon
>>944950
>not sure what that has to do with anything
It's a little kid, little kid.
>>944956
I'm very ugly anon
>>944964
That's ok, you can compensate with your beautiful skating. Right?
>>944941
>How do I do that senpai?
It just happens, don't force it.

Why live
Stepped on my board, not even one push, pop goes my knee cap.
Getting it x-rayed tomorrow to make sure I didn't tear a ligament or something.
>>944983
Can she frontside air or not?
>>944972
Alright then in a few days ill post a throwaway vid maybe I can get one or one for my buddies
>>944987

I don't need to.
>>944998
I'll have a list full of nicknames ready by then.

Come on man it's obviously a joke. I can post footy when I convert it to webms though. I have some nice clips too.
>>945005
Thanks anon can't wait
thoughts on the adidas matchcourt mids?
>>944991
Hope for the best
>>944992
I would assume no, I doubt that she skates a whole lot. That being said, I can't frontside air either. My tranny skills are severely lacking.

best japanese guy i've seen i think
>>944919
Lol I had a fucking laff
Thanks for that
oh and heres my setups. hammers 8.25 on 139s and iron claw 8.5 on 159s. i usually ride 55s, 101d Formula Fours on the hammers board, and the green wheels on the iron claw are Soft Ds.... those fucking rule for when you need to be quiet.
hammers board was pretty nice, very light feeling, must be that mexican factory glue. the iron claw was dense feeling but still had pop.
>>945309
Nice, I have that Toy deck on my wall.
>>944832
I'm a pretty novice skater, and when I get mad with my performance I just push myself harder.
>>944880
Been looking for this, holy shit.
>>944890
Thanks, that's what I've been trying to do.
>>945314
thats probably where it belongs, i tried to skate it and it sort of works, but the tail is so small compared to the rest of the board you literally feel a delay when you pop it hah.
before those i was riding this girl deck from 2010 i know everyone says they break quick... but i thrashed it and it was still going. i got this auby taylor black label board waiting now.
oh and i live in dallas im usually at lewisville or mckinney.. well not lately because im broke but.. just in case anybody out there is from dfw too.
>>945335
>> 945314
I've also got the toy machine deck its a pretty neat graphic kinda wish I hadn't thrashed it
>>944925
Jesus fuck that's the most degenerate thing I've ever seen. Are you trying to be ironic/sarcastically funny? Are you genuinely this gay? Are you a female? Do you have friends?
So many questions.
>mfw I can't commence a dump of my glorious photography because all the files are huge
y senpoo
>>945426
>degenerate
not sure you know what that word means
>ironic / sarcastically funny
ironic yeah but i do like her music and think she's hot as fuck
>are you genuinely this gay
not sure what's gay about it
>are you a female
no
>do you have friends
too many desu
if you don't like it that's fine but plenty of people have complemented it. if you're getting this mad about someone's grip tape then you have some issues dude.
>>945472
>getting this mad about someone's grip tape
Not mad by any means. I was genuinely wondering what the fuck you were thinking. Now at least I know it's merely because flat chested boywomen turn you on. You do you brother, I could care less.
All I'm saying is in my park, that shit would not pass. No doubt. I just don't understand how you could get away with that without being dealt absolute social torment.
>>945528
Not him but I'm guessing pink grip or anything floral wouldn't pass at your park either. Jeez, the testosterone at your park must really be at an all time low for you guys to caring that much.
>>945528
Is your skate park in Afghanistan by any chance?
>>945544
>>945539
Nope, California. You are starting to sound more and more like that one skater kid in a crew full of scooters. Fuckin A, how old are you? 14?
>>945528
>in my park
you get more pathetic with every post
>>945562
>fat guy with no style wearing pot leaf socks
>>945528
HOTTIE is right
>>945567
Oh right, my bad. I know you would prefer me to say, "in the park that is closest to my house that I am a continual frequenter of... that shit would not pass"
>being this presumptuous about one two letter word
kek you truly are scraping quite low to try and redeem your inherent faggotry
>>945562
>skater kid in a crew full of scooters
Never heard of them
>how old are you? 14?
You're the one acting like a high schooler
Do you and your friends haze the middle schoolers at your park too? :^)
>>945562
>skater kid in a crew full of scooters
In any way, how does this help your case? Did you think this through before you typed it out?
>>945634
Uh oh everybody, I found the kid with gauges who has daddy issues and smokes spice.
>implying scoot crews are not cancer
end yourself
>>945651
Never even implied that, scooters are cancer, longboards are cancer. But you saying something that is so rare and applies to your area only is stupid. I've never seen a skater with the scooter kids. Not even once. It's even more rare to see scooter kids past the age of 13.

>johnny gets told to never come back to the park if he values his existence
And since that day, johnny was never seen or heard of again.
>>945664
This is why headphones exists, it wouldn't stop me from coming back though. Johnny was just being a bitch. I would've came back with half pink grip and headphones not giving one single fuck.
Confidence is key in skateboarding. Fuck what anybody else thinks.

Do you guys like your local skateparks? How big are them?
As i live in a small city in the Banana Federation of Brazil, we only have parks like Pic related. There's no roller skates or scooters here, but the BMX guys are always fighting with the skaters.
The cement is terrible and there's alot of drug addicts near.
>>946668
My local skate park is a empty parking lot.
It's pathetic.
>>946568
close to what and what exactly ruined it
What the fuck is wrong with you faggots?

Shit do you live in a very small city or something like that?
>>946725
The poorest regions (North, Northeast and the rainforest) are under military help to combat the aedes aegypti mosquitoe (They think they're on a real war, as we have no use for the military here and it's one of the few "emergency situations" they'll ever experience)
But here at the Southeast, south and "richest regions" no one really gives a shit. At the news you hear "oh my god we need to help the north and combat the virus!" and that's all.
There's at least 5 mosquitoes flying next to me right now. As Zika aren't here yet, there's no worries. For now.

I started doing physical therapy (electrodes) due to the pain in my sciatic nerve. No sk8 for me in the next 2 weeks at least :(
But if the pain does not go away i think i'll say fuck it and go back to shred.
>>946851
Not being able to skate for 2 weeks is harsh.
Hope you get well.

If you don't have fun skating you ain't doing it right
hey guys, im aaron kyro and im a sponsored skateboarder from the San Francisco bay area
>>946900
East bay livin baby. Bitch the bay area is where skateboarding thrives. No need to be jelly just because you don't live a $4 train ride away from thrasher's headquarters and some of the most famous street spots ever skated.
Pic related is my local park and my friend doing a crazy texas plant. It's 60 degrees outside right now, how about you?
Some raw footy from Evan Smith's Time Trap part.
Pretty gnarly stuff.
https://youtu.be/tVCG7gGTWs8
>>945528
>in my park, that shit would not pass
I bet you 're the worst skater in your park. Everyone's at least decent but you recently started so it's a grunt keeping up.
>>947064
I really like raw footage like that, so good.
>>947054
Shut up lol east bay is trash too kek
I have a question /esg/, I used to skate a lot as a kid/teenager, and when I was into it, like the widest board people rode was like 7.75-8. I went to my local skateshop last weekend and bought a 7.5 width deck because that's what I used to ride, but now being a just shy of 200 pounds almost 30 year old, the deck feels tiny and flimsy as fuck. did I fuck up? should I just go back and buy an 8.5 or something? the 7.5 deck used to feel just fine, will it go back to feeling normal as I get used to it again?
>>947130
Just go with 8.25
Any weight, any height, any trick type. It is the universal board size.
>>947130
You'll get used to it eventually but you should've tried out some different shapes and sizes at your shop.
Also what size are your trucks? Because if you do plan on moving up, a 8.5 deck would be unstable on 7.5 trucks.
Hope that info helps a bit.
>>947113
>>947071
Well it's your word against mine isn't it?
I could tell you about how I hit my first handrail (8 stair) at 14 after just a year of skating.
I could tell you about how I have been skating for 7 years and how half the locals at my park are either flowed or on a team.
But it wouldn't matter because a newfie like yourself fueled solely by jealousy wouldn't dare believe such a thing.
Have fun with your ollie trick tips kid, you'll get it down someday.
>>947158
>half the locals at my park are either flowed or on a team
I suspect you are on the other half
>>947165
Getting paid to skate was never a goal of mine. I have a 4.2 college gpa and would not want to rely simply on my own physical capacities to substantiate my income. Plus anyone who knows shit about skateboarding knows you either hit or miss with being sponsored. The nyjahs and the shecklers are the only ones making the real money, and the chance of that ever being me was pretty damn slim. Thankfully, I realized this at a young age so I just do it for fun.
>>947170
Yeah Santa Cruz is great. But you can't say SF "sucks" when all your favorite skaters are still ripping spots 20 minutes away from where I live. Imo, SF and NY are the current hubs for skate culture. Having lived in both cities, that's what I've observed.
>>947170
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMmAW01kAjw
2 of these spots are at my college and the majority of the rest are SF

What trick did you just learn?
What trick do you want to learn?
Dopest thing somebody did at your park in recent memory?
Biggie or Tupac?
>>947417
Oregon is dope no doubt. How are the winters though? Having the ability to skate year round is a game-changer.
>>947546
I don't live there :-(
it's rainy as fuck all the time though, so that sucks
Texas is pretty great too, although that is more of a recent thing

>Texas is pretty great too
Don't know much about the TX scene.
All the MAJER Crew guys are in Texas I think. They are one of the few stomachable skate channels on youtube, a true rarity. With shit like Schrock and Kyro's absolute vomit inducing cringe constantly front and center, it's hard to find something worth watching. Fuck I usually just stick to thrasher anyway.
Thoughts on the Etnies x Hook-ups shoes
>>947568
check out lurknyc and juicyelbows
there's also about a million years of skate vids here: http://www.skatevideosite.com/
and some redditor made a channel with a bunch of old videos, I'll look for that
>>947583
I like the box art, not sure on the shoes.
>>947583
>Etnies
>>947589
Me too there's also some anime art on the inside of the shoe too
>>947591
Right that's what I was thinking by I like
hook-ups so it kinda cancels out?
>>947594
If you plan on skating in them, then the box and insoles won't really matter. What do you plan to do with them?
>>947591
I wish etnies would reissue the Arto 2's.
>>947603
It means what he feels senpai just look at the pic and you'll see
>>947611
I'll probably flaunt them a bit first
>>947613
Isn't Arto on New Balance? I thought they go under by now.
>>947583
They dont look too bad.
>>947633
>They don't look too bad

The edits keep them afloat. They're not as overproduced as Ty Evans and more creative. That still doesn't stop me from never seeing a pair in person. Also if NB went under, where would we get PJ Ladd footage? And I doubt he would want to go to the ProFlow program over at eS.
>>947633

There's never nothing to skate
-NO PARK? build DIY ledge/flatbar/quarter. There's always somewhere to build in a 5 mile radius (unless you live in London then you're 100% cucked). It sounds like you have actual spots to skate if you get kicked out of places so I'm going to guess you don't live in a rural area or some shit. Parking garages, empty parking lots, warehouse areas, behind stores or office buildings...ANYWHERE you can pour crete (just don't get caught).
-WINTER?: perfect flatground skills. all you need is an empty garage and some motivation. A whole winter of flat and your board control will be top notch. It will fuck you up when do your tricks fast though so there's that.
bought a skateboard yesterday and managed a day one ollie
incredibly proud of myself
but 95% of the time my front foot kicks the board away, why does that happen?
>>948165
you dont commit, or you´re kicking too hard. its a nice smooth drag up and out. make sure you get those knees up boy.
>>947249

>>947538

>I usually just stick to thrasher anyway.
>implying Thrasher is 80s Thrasher

Everyone in SF except James Kelch and Rob Welsh sucks shit.
Complete noob here, can someone please tell me what 'breaking in' is when it comes to trucks/a new skateboard? Thanks heaps
>>948233
just using them as soon as possible
>>948233
letting your equipment get adjusted to your weight and riding, like shoes. Give your bushings a little time to compress and decompress so you can safely tighten them.

Johnny's got balls for expressing himself. You faggots are a disgrace to skateboarding.

>SF and NY are the current hubs for skate culture
You must be joking if you think that America is still relevant when it comes to skate culture.

What is transition?
I just saw this meme on skatepub
>>948720
Transition is ramps, bowls, pools, half pipes and so on.
A good example of a transition skater is someone like Grant Taylor, Lance Mountain and Ben Raybourn.
>>948720
Those top trucks are Frank Gerwer's from his venture ad, is he classed as a street skater?
Can confirm meme is true though, im a tranny dog and 50-50's erry day.

Pool shark reporting in, Indys or bust.

someone said something about their stock bushings, what's your opinion?
>>949214
I find the stock bushing to be cheap, always switch them after week.
I also ride them loose and for some reason then top bushing gets all flattened out.
The trucks grind smoothly though.

>switch ollie
>tre flip or plants on vert

>The trucks grind smoothly though
yeeeeeees, that's what I found out. I thought slappies were hard, kek.
Seriously about the bushings? You mean I can't ride with them?
>>949245
Yea slappies are fun.
Just skate with the bushing you have now and if you notice that they begin to flat out, change them. But in the end, it's your choice to switch them out or not.
>>949245
Everyone has a different experience with stock bushing, ride it out and see what happens.
Short and new Welcome footy is out, if anyone cares.

Nice
I've been skating for like 7 years and I'm so disappointed. I don't seem to be getting better, actually I feel like I'm getting worse. I skate all the time and no matter what I always lose my tricks. I find myself repeatedly trying tricks and never landing tricks that I could do four years ago. I did my first kickflip like four years ago and I still don't have them consistently. This is getting so frustrating seeing people at the local park who keep getting better and I keep getting worse. Any advice?
Old man Lance is still killing it.

i dunno i'm still a newbie but you gotta change something. something you're doing (more likely NOT doing) is the problem. not you.

expected to see lance from braile skateboarding when I clicked that link lmao
>>949328
you might never get consistent kickflips. some flip tricks work better for others. one thing that helps is to definitely NOT do the same trick over and over again. i know that sounds stupid when you don't know many tricks, but just focus on doing something, then once you've done it.. cool. you've got it. let it stew in your brain and only bring it out when you need to. if you don't make it, you don't make it. when you force yourself to do something over and over and over it doesn't neccessarily make you better.
remember: they say practice makes perfect. but perfect practice makes perfect. don't put yourself into bad habits by "practicing" something you just bail over and over.
if you get more specific about what tricks you do have and what obstacles you have i could try and offer more advice.
start learning to push switch. can you switch ollie? or try learning just straight nollies, they're retardly easy and fun. i'm sure you can do 180s.... try pivoting them into 360s.
also don't really worry too too much about getting better dude, if you can cruise around and have fun you're golden.
guy's name is Akihiro Iida, insane parking-block bonk over a barrier.... how is this possible. i mean i can bonk... but he lifts it like 2 feet.
rides for prizefighter cutlery wheels if you're looking for a spitfire alternative
I used to skate a lot about 5 years ago, and always sucked. Went and bought a complete yesterday and am already better than I was. I'm landing shuvits and ollies easy while stationary, which I could never do, even getting really close to heels. But when I start moving I can't do shit. If I land an Ollie, which is always like 1/4 the height I can do stationary, I rotate about a quarter in the air like a tard. Whenever I land a shuvit I also land basically in a nose manual position and it ceases my movement. I want general tips, but mostly concerned about not being able to Ollie at all really while moving. I think that's the root of my problems
>>950095
skating in japan sounds fun. i'd feel a little bad fucking up all their nice shit though. place is spotless from what i hear.
>>950117
For the Ollie who moving I think its really just pop harder amd do the Ollie movements faster than you would when stationary I've found that I can ollie about three boards stacked sideways while going fast but I can't really get near that high stationary.
