Old thread >>943829
I bought multi colored wheels because they were five bucks less than the regular colored ones and now I'm afraid I'll be made fun of at the park. Will post picture.
>>951767
plenty of pros skate multi-colored wheels, you'll be fine
>>951767
>being afraid of some wank making fun of you
Just shred dog

>>951772
Here is the board. Goofy y/n?
Really hoping the weather is good this weekend. I want to get out there finally.
>>951779
looks dope
Its been snowing, and balls cold all week where I live, I have to drive 45 minutes to get to a park where theres no snow. Shit blows
>>951779
I see the the party pack wheels all the time, you'll be fine mate.
>>951779
looks fine man, really
skate in confidence and people will respect you, whether you're learning how to ollie or tre flip the hubba
Hail Natas
How to win any game of S.K.A.T.E ever
>ollie north - S
>late shuv it - K
>kickflip sex change - A
>No-comply shuv it - T
>Pressure flip/some equally lame trick - E
this will also make you look like a massive piece of shit
>>951800
in my park, that shit would not pass
>>951797
It goes
Praise Natas and All Hail Cardiel

>get forced out
>little kids and their parents staring at me as i get in my car to leave
>>951901
wtf
why was the skatepark locked?
>>951901
that mom was lame, dood :( then again, they don't want their kids doing what you did at an early age.
>tfw buying decks faster than can break 'em.
>>951933
I don't know about him but the parks in my area are closed unless it's 55 degrees and above. Mainly because it's city property.
>>951955
>have a cart on socalskateshop with 5 decks in it right now
>about to check out
same anon
>>951976
Which ones anon?
We're posting decks? This one is cool and supports a good cause.
Anyone here can Texas plant? :^)
>>951985
Oops.
>>951986
Not in my park
>>951979
these
>>951980
i wish i was like you
>>951999
These are nice m8. What's your current overall deck count? I'm at 8, but I think I might try to sell/trade some away.
>>951999
i only have 2 extra atm, both welcomes that i regret buying
>>951999
dat reynolds board
>>952021
A fair amount of boards both modern and re-issue, however none of them are under 8.75 in size. I also have a pair of 169 indies I've thought about trading for 149s but all in all I'm not %100 sure yet.
>>952037
i'd cop those indies m8
>>951742
lmao what a faggot 2bh
film him anyways because he's a poser
>>952038
This'll be dumb but can you add me on steam? http://steamcommunity.com/id/slimedad/
>>952053
added you
Anyone know how people get to go to Woodward ? It's only open to campers in the summer and only select dates can people 18+ sign up as campers. I am assuming its invite only the rest of the year ? Like I have seen plenty of footage of pro's and am's just sessioning there It's just weird cause its like what is going on the other 9 months a year ? There are no public park hours as far as I know.
>>951901
is it a new park ? A park by me technically has really strict rules but after like a year of attempting to enforce it they just gave up. As long as you don't seem like complete human filth or have a big group of people you can skate it 24/7/365
>>952136
it's not public... try doing some work at woodward (instructor, counselor, etc), thats the easiest way to get in when youre 18+ and you can make some money on the side.
>>951521
that was nice of you
>it's about quality muscle memory, not # of times attempted

>>951986
this looks horrible. It looks like a Texas plant Mike Carrol would attempt.
Who did a recent tribute to Birdhouse's first video, "Ravers" (!) ? The first video was Feasters.
Also, unpopular opinion maybe but I like Tony's street skating.
gonna go out and try to kickflip a stair for the first time in a year wish me luck anons
>>952231
I enjoy the Feaster video, I still watch it regularly. I think they're working on a new Birdhouse video as well.
>>951976
so that's why that shit costs so much now
>>951999
Toxic eyes for sho, skip everything else.
>>952333
It's already on your side mate.

>>952690
Ride a bike?
>>952690
Driveway skate
tried to learn boardslides on a round bar for the first time. I touched metal and landed. Yay.
I 'm prouder for a proper half-cab I pulled.
>>952697
I like the idea of it, unless it's shitty wood, or the graphic is awful, but the NY Parks and Rec logo looks pretty nice on a board.
>>952920
you 're missing all the heavenly glory *slaps back of head*: the Parks and Recreation division acknowledges skateboarding. Skateboarding is recreation, often taking place in parks.
Just got my skate and tried to stand on it for the first time.
I've kissed the ground four times before getting some balance. And thats shit is fucking fantastic holy shit
Pic related my skate, what you guys think? About $64 in Dollars. Didn't tried any trick as i can't even stand on the board yet. Any advice for improving my balance? I fall every time i try to get impulse (Forgot the name in english)
I am right handed however i'm goofy. I'm ashamed about everyone looking at me but i don't care, skating is awesome
skateboarding threads are going to bumblimit so fast.Cool
>>952961
Don't worry about tricks for right now, just learn to cruise and also learn the different ways of stopping
>>952961
Spending time cruising around is the fastest way for better balance. Just take your time amigo.
>>952927
Then I back it.
>>952961
Nice setup anon, have fun shredding.

>>953076
Fuck, tell me about it.
The wind chill is Miami is killing me.
>>953076
I was in the middle of a sesh today and it started pouring, rip I only got like 30 minutes in ):
It's kind of cool seeing these threads so dead, because I know you guys are outside skating and getting good, instead of shitposting on 4chan.
I'm shit posting while skating. Thank you based long board.
>>953527
>long board.
Kill yourself.
>>953507
we participate in an actual sport, unlike mandrama
Didn't get to skate again today. Fuck work. Fuck working. I'm so wiped out from standing all day and doing menial bullshit for barely above minimum wage.
Just kill me.
>>953547
How is this /wwe/, I didn't say I was tired from crying about my favorite character and sucking literally bags of dicks.
Tomorrow I have the day off, and Monday. Weather should be warming up.
>>953555
Sorry m8, take your woodflip to /sp/
>>953576
Shut the fuck up fatass.
>>953544
Same
>>953561
I might buy one since I'll get paid soon
Why are you guys on the wrestling board talking about skateboarding lmao?
BRIIIIIIEEE MOOOOOODDDEE

Why do you suck 10 dicks at once?

I don't think you understand what the word cuck means
ok friends
how retarded would I be to get suspension trucks for my first board
>>953672
Pretty silly unless you have paper mache knees.
>>953682
I have osteoarthritis
so i think its a good idea
I just cant see any big downsides to it
Fuck, the Gonz had a demo in MIA today and I fucking missed it.
What's the point of living now?
>>953693

Go for it then, you might thank yourself in the future.
>>953700
yeah I kinda regret not taking better care of myself when I was younger
but meh, when you're young it doesnt matter
>>953693
get good insoles as well. went to an ortho the other day and he said it's a good investment.
>we learn tricks on a skateboard that we actually do in real life
>you shitpost about wrestling moves characters act out on television
>>>/tv/
I like to do a lot of tail slides
what deck should I get?
>>953731
one with a tail.
>>953721
who makes good skate insoles?
>>953750
Footprint insoles.
>>953698
Is that real?
>>953760
are insoles a meme?
>>953833
no they're fucking amazing
What the actual fuck is happening with these bike riders?
i though Skate parks we're SKATE parks. Gone back to my birthplace few weeks ago and the park is full of these fuckers.
>>953870
in my park that shouldn't wouldn't fly, we'd beat the shit out of him and mail him back to the shithole he came from since all bmxers come from broken homes and a lack of a father
>>953870
I can't stand skating with bikers everywhere
the bikes are just so gangly and awkward and when they fall it flies all over
>>953870
Can't be worse than scooters
>>953892
scooters are annoying just because it is usually little bratty kids who ride them
Bikes just seem dangerous to people other than the rider
ok guys if I make a build list for an upcoming board and post it here you'll tell me im retarded right?
>>954003
depends... post the board build, we might be able to help.
>>954003
Depends on the setup
>people hang their skateboards on walls
for what purpose
>>954050
So my mom doesn't yell at me when the dirty wheels touch the carpet.
Post your setup ig cause no one is doing anything.
woohoo payday time for some dickies and vans old skool.
>>953870
Local skate park is a little something like this
>weekday: chill ass skaters, won't curse or get angry or do drugs or anything when there are kids around, overall very nice when kids are around.
>weekend: chill ass skaters, won't curse or get angry or do drugs or anything when there are kids around, but leave very quickly when bmx kids show up
>bmx kids are so fucking loud and obnoxious and smoke weed/swishers around the kids and audibly curse and set bad examples for the kids, disregard for others
They're literally shit stains.
i thought bmx was dead just like fruitbooting?
>>953544
I feel you bro
>>954050
so they take less space
>>954252
I've used to bmx before getting a skateboard and fucking loving it.
And i've seen many bmx idiots crashing with skaters because they dropped when they werent suposed to. The bmx guy stayed well but sometimes even the skate broke in two. Think about what happened with the guy in the skate.
Bmx riders should have an separated park, they're really dangerous.
Plus, to be honest, Skateboarders are so fucking chill and nice most of the times, i've found really great friends. Bmx people are, at most, douchebags. I have nothing against drugs and i don't do them myself, but every time a group with BMX's show in the park, we get the fuck out before the cops come.
>>954128
There's a bmx night at my local indoor park and it's semi popular
Ppl like bmx more because its easier to learn to ride it, cuz most have rode bikes all their life
Afro guy edit.

Good ender
went for a long sesh today, my legs are sacrificing me to Satan.
I had pain in the knee now I know and can feel that it's a prolonged cramp in the muscles in the back of my leg.
I spent an hour to land several switch pop shuv-its.
>be me
>skating with only friend who skates (we started skating at the same time, about 4 months ago)
>2 months into heelflips, still haven't landed one but got close
>friend can do kickflips, landing about 1/20
>he jokingly practices heelflips for a few minutes (he's never practiced them before)
>he lands one, bolts
I was happy for him but lost all my motivation to learn heelflips. Anyone else ever been in a similar situation?
>>954667
yes, me. Disregard your frustration and disappointment. I once "jokingly" tried kickflips after trying heelflips forever and landed 4 that day. Never got a proper one since.
Your skating is more than a trick.
Might go to skating place here tomorrow if the weather's okay.
See what's still left of my muscle memory after a years of doing nothing.
I could only flip a few tricks, ollie. Nothing special.
Best was a varial kickflip.
Here's my old as heck board.
Get off of /wwe/
Wanna skate today but theres still ice and snow on the ground :\
>>954716

there was a inline skating general but it was pretty tame
alright guys
>>954867
what kind of deck should i get? i've never skated anything from bakerboys, haven't skated a crailtap board in about 8 years, already skated a welcome and didn't really get the hype, i'm from ohio so i'm already skating quasi, alien workshop is dead to me, i've never skated a toy machine
ALSO i need new shoes too so hmu with some recs
>>954961
oh and i'm going to buy bath salts and rip it for you fuckers since so many people have been asking
or just one person has been asking a lot
old grip got dogshit on it. thought fuck it, i'll regrip
first time using a picture under the grip, used an album cover
>skating about 2 hrs on weekends for 5 months
>just did an ollie onto a thing
feels good
>>954667
When you skate for more than 4 months you'll understand there is more to it than learning fliptricks with military precision. You won't lose any motivation then i guess.
>>954977
Might as well buy a Heroin deck. The spring 16 catalog looks great.
Tony and Lee are finally pro.
>>955027
>under grip
what
>>954961
Dlx. Krooked or anti hero.
>>955039
whatever u get what i mean
>>955042
I DONT
IM ACTUALLY CONFUSED
>>954961
killing floor, quasi, nationalskateboards
>>955043
well
i made a cut out of the grip and stuck the photo down using a bit of the griptape at the edges
then taped over it so it won't mush
what is cutest deck
>>955049
isle?
>>955072
never heard of it, definitely nowhere to be found locally
>>955066
Depends what you define as kawaii
>>955093
cute!
>street skating today
>notice some old fuck yelling at my friend
>continue to skate the spot
>old fuck pushes me over
>tells me to leave
>old fuck leaves
>we continue to skate the spot
Why do people tell skaters to leave but they leave before the skaters. So dumb..
>>955101
reshpekt ur eldrs u fuk
>>955109
This one was fucking stoopid
>>955109
I wouldn't respect anyone that pushed me friend
>>955114
True
>>955119
desu would have gotten on the phone with the police as soon as he touched me
just to see him flee
Dream deck :')
>>955126
weeb would deck then teabag for extra measure/10
>>955126
This shit would NOT fly in my park bro
>>955133
yeah you have them
>>955126
I know that deck will be a reissue, hopefully in 8.25
how often do you clean your shit, esg?
i tend to clean my trucks and wheels every 2 weeks or so, more out of habit than anything
bearings probably weekly because i like making them last
>>955126
you definitely aren't from east bay living, baby
>>955142
>i tend to clean my trucks and wheels every 2 weeks or so
>>955156
rainy days, man.
why not?
>>955142
I don't see the point in cleaning my trucks, although one time I cleaned my grip tape because it got muddy. How would you go about cleaning your wheels?
>>955140
Whish it came it 7.75
>>955164
Confirmed for baby
>>955163
well not so much clean as wax in the bushing cups, so they don't squeak like fuck. my local park is in an old ship building warehouse, it's dusty and dirty as fuck
>>955167
Confirmed for technical shit you can't do on an 8.25. Plus, I'm not big enough for boards bigger than that
walmart board is more ur size :^)
>>955178
Walmart decks are actually pretty good until they snap. Everything else on the board is trash tho
>>955164
Don't think hookups run that small
are sk8er bois cute
>>951800
Ollie north & no comply shuv wouldn't fly in my neighborhood
>>955229
Sometimes. A lot of skinny fat skaters. Really tall thin boys like Sean Pablo are nice.
>>955171
What 'technical shit' can't be done on an 8.25? Not that guy, I'm just curious. I skate either 8.25 or 8.5 depending on brand.
>>955229
I really can't think of any decent skaters who fit the whole "twink boy next door skater" archetype
Idk how that even came to fruition, cuz everyone I know who skates is either average or a hoodrat
>>951800
Throw in a street plant for good measure :-)
>>954127
>my park
empty in the earlier hours, but the first ones to get there are skaters.
My park is home to bmx, skaters, scootfags & fruitbooters; so we have to share the park. (It's also a small, awkwardly shaped park)
The park is inside a bigger park that's a tourist attraction so there's always people watching/kids running around the fucking place (fucking negligent parents..)
The skatebros are head in command at the park. Bmx dudes get respect too.
The fruitbooters are homies cause they're OG (they've been booting for decades)
>scootfags are last in rank but we still respect some of them because they're taking that scooter shit to some next level
Everyone smokes weed freely within the park, we're literally untouchable by police or park enforcement.
We have no remorse for parents that brought their kid to let them run around the park. If they smell weed, if they get hurt, if someone yells at them to move...
Then that's on them
>>955264
Because that's the faggotry that's being shoved down everyone's throat in all facets of life despite being pretty rare.
Even then; that nigga would have to shred & not act like a fucking snowflake Faggot for some respect. Otherwise he's just some weird homo lusting over niggas at the park
>>955301
are you in my park
>>955264
m-maybe o-once I get g-good there will be a cute skate boy
Anyone from birmingham,UK? if so do you know any good spots?
>>954867
mission success
the bearings are probably garbage but i was on a shake junt high, and a normal high
>>955412
Pretty
>>955412
>shake vomit
>>955412
Nice setup. I had the Triple OG's before, they roll great. Right now I got the Bryan Herman's pro bearings, only downside is it won't make you skate like Herman.
So being out of the loop for a few years I have come back to see that 2 of my local skateshops have closed down. The zumiez that was in the mall is gone and the sporting goods store no longer carries skateboards. On the flip side, new skateparks have opened and old ones got revamped. Strange times.
>>952690
>walk
>ride bike
>skate while your family runs errands or whatever
>build ramps and spots (don't say but i am broke, made ton of shit over the years from garbage and hardware stores have discount lumber section where they sell odds and ends and shit)

forgot image
not sure if i want to turn the wheels around, love the bighead spitfire logo. part of the reason i got this deck was because it reminds me of one of my earlier skateboards from when i was like 13. it was an all pink bam margera element deck. those were the days. i also really dig andrew reynolds though so that's a plus, it's my first bakerboys dist. product.

>>955698
i've been skating for like 6 months and i can't ollie like that
>>953870
true story beginning of this year some bmx bandit fuckwit came out of nowhere and clattered my leg. cue hospitalisation for a haematoma and compartment syndrome, skin grafts etc. and at least 6 weeks no skating not including the month i'd already spent in hospital pissing in bottles and shitting on plastic shovels. 2016 is my year go team
>tldr; i hate bikes
>>955761
did you sue the fuck out of him
>>955761
Jesus Christ, what the hell.
>>955771
uk bruh how the fuck am i gonna sue a cunt
also i dont know who the fuck it was
and to top it off i never paid to get into the park so i waived my right to any injury free session
>>955761
damn nigga
>>955781
Don't they have civil suits in the UK? In the states you can sue in civil court if somebody fucked you up for monetary compensation. Criminals sometimes win money when they get hurt by the people they rob
It's fucked but most of the time people get money for good reasons
so am i a poser if i DON'T pop my bearing shields off and turn my wheel graphic around or am i a poser if i do?
>>955812
It doesn't matter if you do or don't.
>>955811
well yeah but it seems kind of retarded
who wants to be one of those lawsuit happy kooks that ruin it for everyone? fuck going to the park and having to wear full pads or some shit cause of one dudes boner for cash money
thoughts on custom grip
>>955855
Thanks for the reasoning b. Start a gofundme. I'll give you $5 next week cause I'm a broke nigga but I'm sure you'll find local support.
>>955889
Weeb/10
>do it anyway
>>955855
If he was being a retard and put everyone in danger by being negligent then yeah sue his ass
But if it was a freak accident then I'd let it slide too. No reason to punish somebody for something they really couldn't control
>>955889
Wouldn't fly in my park buddy boy
>>955889
Pretty sugoi until you get dirt onto it.
>>955893
nah man i'm already getting SSP and the NHS is free (for now) so money is pretty much irrelevant in this. i got a sick hat for free and two months off work so im pretty much vindicated.
>>955901
to be fair it shouldnt have escalated the way it did, i was fully expecting a dead leg or some shit the whole time so i was cool with it, but when the pain of compartment syndrome kicks in you fucking know about it. just pissed it didnt get diagnosed until a week after id self diagnosed it, like where have all the good docs gone
on more of a skateboard related note im seeing a lot of love for heroin, sick company but i find the concave on the boards is hella steep, does anyone else have that?personally i prefer something a little mellower like death or consolidated.
>>955698
Board went for $6,295. nice
>>955894
I need to find an equally qt deck to put it on though
>>955906
my longboard has been fine and I've been riding it for like 3 years
ill post a current pic next
>>955905
i don't understand posts like these. I haven't been to a park in years, but do skaters really still hate on each other for the color/type of deck they ride?
seems petty and stupid if they're ripping or just out having fun (like we all should be)..
>>955964
[spoiler]It's a new meme. Don't worry[/spoiler]
>>954252
I appreciate everything, skating, inline, bmx, scooter, etc but still think that people on BMX should think twice before going to parks. Like BMX is the least needy shit out there, you can go into the woods with a shovel and build all kinds of shit. I have a local small park with wooden ramps and I don't mind having bmx people there but its just kinda like be considerate. If you are just doing shit you could do elsewhere, could you do that instead of killing the ramps ?
>>956004
my thoughts exactly, especially in my area, the terrain is perfect for bmx riding, and there are even spots for bike riders that have already been built.
https://vimeo.com/153737805
One of the best edits I've seen all week. This is the one time you'll see Monster riders skate together on a trip.
