Even if you don’t skate it all the time, how often should you change our decks?

Anonymous No. 110872

only replace it if it's damaged, warped/soggy. boards should last a while if taken care of, if you're a beginner and not skating that hard your board should be fine for a year or so with minimal use. i have cruiser boards last forever because I'm not doing any tricks, just cruising.

Awesome, thanks anon.
I guess I should replace it then. What do you guys do with your old boards? I don’t have a skate shop near me. So should I toss it or keep it since it’s my first one? Also, what brand should I get this time? I want the 2000’s vibes.

Chill out lil nigga. My boy at the shop put my back truck on the nose of my board and vice versa and when I went to switch them around the nuts were crossthreaded onto the bolts and I stripped the phillips heads trying to get the nuts off the bolts. They always offer to set up my boards for me at the shop and I say yes because why not, they are cool guys.

>>110868
Thanks my man, I really like all of the krooked shaped decks.

If my old boards are not really fucked up I usually leave them at the skatepark in the hope that some kid will find it and be stoked.

What does the /esg/ brains trust think of old school tricks? If you see someone doing them at the skatepark do you think it's cool or cringe? Personally I like it when people can combine a mix of old school and modern tricks.

For noobs old school tricks are things like bert slides, layback grinds, bonelesses, handplants, etc

Anonymous No. 110885

>>110869
depends on how hard you want to ride, if you just cruise around, slap curbs and maybe carve bowls but don't do a lot of high impact skating then you can pretty much ride a board until it disintegrates. i will say that i'm pretty sure trying to force pop out of dead boards for too long is what gave me tendonitis. but if you're not jumping up and down stuff too much then i don't think you'll have that problem.
>What do you guys do with your old boards?
i use it as a rain/puddle board or for bombing dirt roads or anything else that would trash a new board. you can also turn it into a balance board pretty easily.

I got into skating about 2 years ago, so I don't have any kind of attitude or preference towards particular tricks. If someone does a trick I think 'cool, nice one' and that's it. Don't think I've ever thought of a trick as gross or illegal or any of that bullshit.

I can drop in standing up but its easier and more fun for me because I'm tall to go at it lying down coffin style and I've never had anyone at a skatepark not pop off at me doing something that I would generally consider dumb/fun

as long as the person that's watching has an understanding that even 1mph of speed at the wrong angle of attack could break your bones, just about anything you do is cool

They have a place, especially if done tastefully when the spot or line demands it. But I keep seeing this new zoomer/tiktok generation just doing 180 no-complies variation and ass/boardslides that It makes me wanna puke. Bonelesses are kinda retarded doing down anything imho, only look good when going up/over something or on tranny. But its usually fine...flatland handplants belong in the dungeon and fuck Mike Vallelejey

I sorta agree. I mean, whatever, people can do what they want, but handplants and bonlesses over and up shit look way cooler than just on flat. My rule of thumb is that you need to keep your speed and momentum on the landing for something to look stylish. A boneless on flat usually makes you land too heavy to keep your flow. You can even get away with a sloppy pick up if you land it on a ramp and get to zip away afterwards.

going to the park to do flatground old school freestyle tricks is gay but everything else is fine. I skate with one guy who does tons of weirdo stuff i didnt like at first but after talking to him and finding out he builds stuff i was like alright whatever i dont care. my other homie also does some weirdo shit like i remember when he was trying to learn boneless big spins i was laughing so hard watching him but ended up trying to do them myself with him

The ass-slides aren't even like an old school trick though. Marbie is probably the first 'professional' skater to have so little self awareness that he thinks it looks good.

Personally I think bonelesses can look sick when people do them into banks. Otherwise they only look good on tranny. Certain people, like Mark Gonzales, can make bonelesses look pretty good in the street.

>>110908
My secret shame is that when I was like 16 I did a boneless 360 down a 6 stair in a friends montage for a video he made. But nowadays I would never even try them.

Not speaking from experience, but yes. *waves hand with thumb and pinky extended*

Why is Element being slowly buried, by the way? Don't act like its not. I see the shovel right here. It is because people just want to argue- and apparently rape- isn't it? You guys could hold a seminar on skater girls but you can't keep a fight over Nyjah's steez going for longer than three posts. (This is debatably how things should be, but that is beside the point...) Nobody wants to admit that they are the centrist of the skater culture because nobody wants to imagine Shillary Fentan on a skateboard, but that is just what Element is. The only issue is that being a centrist, especially as a skateboarder, is the most comfortable way of life. You are all simply fighting the cracks in the pavement, yet none of you have the concrete-mixing skills or motivation to genuinely solve the problem.

Anyway, Element is my favorite skate brand. Go drive a scooter if you disagree.

well i actually think the best method for bashing in skulls of faggot fanny pack wearing men is to angle the side of your board to their skull so you get both the wood, bolts, wheels and force of the truck in each strike. a direct truck skull bash would have to be very precise unless you have 8.5+ in trucks.

Wristguards and elbow pads. Get used to landing more on your elbows/forearms than your wrists. The main trick to falling (and skating in general) is to learn that the lower you squat the safer you are. The natural habit is to move your head away from the danger zone, which means standing straight and rigid...and as unbalanced as possible on your board. If you can just remember to squat down a bit when you're skating an afraid of falling, you're unlikely to land on your wrists too badly.

Anonymous No. 111254

Pictures like this thought me how to do rocks properly and on higher shit. It showed me what "keeping your weight in the ramp" meant, because prior to that I was just balancing on the coping so perfectly that it meant swinging my body back to make it rock in again, but that shit was too risky and scary to stick out.


Speaking of pioneers; can any of you invert or handplant? I set myself a semi goal to do one but haven't really gone for it yet. Best I've done are super safe slasher-y handplant-y things.

Core exercises help me a ton. Crunches of all sorts, leg raises, planks, etc. Even just long walks or jogs. After a while, once you're strong enough for the pain to become milder, skating by itself can be a decent core exercise, particularly anything that involves twisting like doing grinds on transition. I do normally have to crack my back at the start of a session to get rid of the stiffness of sitting all day (sit on the ground cross legged, put right hand on left knee, twist my body to the left and try to look over my left shoulder and far as I can while using my hand to pull myself further, take a couple deep breaths, repeat for the other side). Try out some kundalini yoga routines on Youtube too, it's very back focused.

You'll get there eventually. I had a pretty bad back from being overworked in a stock room a few years ago and pulling muscles more than once. Once you strengthen your core muscles they can engage and take up the slack more often than your spine.

They're pretty damn fun if you can do them fast and come out cleanly. They're pretty much like berts, but you use your front hand to grab the board toeside and pivot around your back hand. If you hit them hard enough you can do a revert on the way down. Best one I did was like a 5-0 slasher, then a 360 revert on the way down, somehow managing to roll away without losing all of my speed. The best part is that they're fairly low risk too. The worst that can happen is that you over rotate your body and slap your ass cheek on the flat, but mostly you just end up barrel rolling out.

Ollie. Make sure you really lift your back foot so you clear the ledge. Guide the board with your back foot so it rotates a bit and lands in a 50 instead of a willy, since you're approaching the ledge at an angle naturally. Land on the bolts or right where the nose and tail start. Your back foot can land on the tail, as long as your weight distribution is right and you don't bail. Shoulders squared so you don't slip out like a retard. There you go.

for round rails pop like you're gonna ollie over the rail but while riding fairly parallel to it. the most important thing is to have your weight on top on the rail b/c that's where you're safest/ can hop out easily/etc.
when it comes to building confidence, try jumping on top of bike racks or other flatbars with just your feet, slacklines are really good too if you can get one.

>they STOLE skating

This argument will never stop being brought up. Skating has literally ALWAYS had a corporate side. And you can try and complain that it's not legit enough or that it ruins skating or some shit, but the fact is that it gets new people into skating, builds parks, keeps pros paid, and puts money into the industry as a whole, which means you can buy new boards and your local shop can get new customers and not go out of business after a year. "Legit" skaters don't spend enough money or organise enough events to keep it alive by themselves.

Literally how lmao? In my experience it's almost totally the local community that works for new parks being built. I have never heard of an energy drink sponsoring a park being built in my life.

And we don't need new people in skating, if people get interested in it it should be because they want to do it as a form of self expression, not because they think they can get rich off of it from energy drinks.

Getting new skaters into it is important and, beyond being a pain at your local park and skating becoming annoyingly mainstream (as in it appears in cheesy ads or movies) for another wave, they spend the most money and keep shops afloat, which means YOU can buy shit there. That big corporate money pays for contests, which normies watch, which makes them buy shit, which keeps shops afloat, which grows the local scene, which means more parks. Try living somewhere with no skate scene and see what you think then.
None of this stops core skaters from being legit and street skating or making videos or whatever. I honestly do not understand this "normies leave" /v/ mentality core skaters have about it, as if all of you didn't start off as normies who picked it up because you saw some mainstream shit as a kid. And to top it off; I will take a MILLION shitty beginner skaters clogging up my local over a dozen scooter toddlers.

Because you're a retard that doesn't skate. Those two currently are exactly the same type of person, plus the scooter toddlers will never go away. In the past you could say you prefer shitty beginner skaters, because skateboarding (since it was gatekept) attracted exactly the kind of person you wouldn't mind having around, even if they were a beginner. Now it's just NYC larping faggots with their daily SSRi intake, imaginary mental illnesses, actual mental illnesses like wanting to swallow man semen, reddit opinions, and retarded trends.

A true slash is when you like push your back foot out as you are grinding so it 'slashes' the coping. It's like a surfing move adapted to skating. If you just go up and scratch your trucks on the coping then it's not really a slash

Definitely rictas and tighten your trucks if you generally want to be less attentive to slight truck angle alterations (bumps) and loosen them if you want to be more attentive. The tradeoff for looser trucks is that the ride will feel more... Err.. Jazzy, I suppose you could say. It gives you access to easier tight turns, as well, whereas tighter trucks will probably make tricks easier.
