I have realized I much prefer watching skateboarding and playing skateboarding video games then actually skating.
Every time I go out on my board it feels like a chore and it's super rare that I have fun.
That said I love watching people who are good at it and actually have a passion for it. I have more fun watching them have fun.

whats the appeal of watching skaters who dont flip their board? its so boring to me when theres a part with some skater who just does acid drops, ollies, 50-50s and boomers are like. "WOWW HE SHREDS. HE HAS SO MUCH STYLE" cmon flip your board buddy. throw in a backside flip or something, anything

I love watching hill bombing videos despite there not being a single flip in sight.
Shit is intense.
One thing I dislike about where I am now is there are no hills or mountains.
I should visit my old hometown and spend a week just bombing every god damn hill I can remember to get it out of my system.

I feel this, in the morning when the caffeine hits I'm so ready to skate and thinking of all the new tricks I'm going to learn then when I get off work pound back another energy drink and go skate I I'm completely over it after I warm up. i think I like the idea of skating more than skating.

Not saying you havent done this, but try to put some variety into your skating, i.e. if you largely skate transition try some street stuff and vice versa.

surely you've seen tricks you enjoy that dont include the skater flipping their board right? probably dozens or hundreds over the years. or you only like tricks where the board is flipped? if the former is true, then it should follow that a skater can put out a compelling part without flipping their board.
>throw in a backside flip or something
so you don't care if it's that interesting, you just want to see it? like a box that needs to be checked? I don't think that makes sense.
but I agree that there's some type of 'common man' adoration, especially with boomers. they suck at flipping their board, so they think it's cool that a pro sucks at it too.
anyway here are some clips of lucien genand not flipping his board (in this part, he only had a single tre flip off a curb after the main trick in a line). but the spot selection, trick selection, and execution is A+ imo. honestly this part was much more interesting than watching wade desarmo's recent primitive part, even though I can admit wade is miles ahead technically.

could you do it before? you're either fucking up the timing or scared. I guess maybe "scared" isn't the right word, but it's some kind of mental block. or just popping like a pussy, but I'd put that in the mental category since I'm sure you have the strength to pop an ollie as a 25yo. post a webm and we'll tell you.

OR you could be one of those retards that doesn't put the ball of their foot of the center of the board. you can definitely do a shuv from this foot positioning (in fact it's better for a no-pop shuv), but you won't get any decent pop if the ball of your foot is on the edge/hanging over.

Not really. Just those shitty tries where the board won't rise from the tail, but only from nose.
>you''re either fucking up the timing or scared
Im definetly not scared of hurting myself when skating anymore. I've come to a point where i actually take it as a good thing since it means that im really trying and i've learned how to fall properly. It has to be the timing then.

Want to post a clip? What's specifically going wrong?
If it's a case where it's only "rising from the nose", do you mean you're not actually popping/bouncing the tail off the ground and are just kicking it into the hair with the nose? IMO, you should focus on learning ollies by breaking it down into these steps:
1- just pop. Don't even think about trying to level the nose out; simply keep your front foot on the front bolts and lift it straight up and down (or whatever is low enough effort for you that you don't need to think about it). Simply focus on getting your tail to pop off the ground and get your back foot into the air enough so that it has enough space to move. You'll get a rocketed ollie this way, and it won't reach maximum height, but you can eventually get your pop good enough like this that it will clear small curbs. You can land nose heavy to technically "level" the board out, but it'll be on the way down and won't be adding height, so don't worry about it.
2- REALLY focus on getting your feet into the air. Get used to full on jumping up, knees to chest, so that your new found pop can go higher and higher. Not much to be said here other than to build up your confidence inch by inch. Try them moving too.
3- NOW focus on kicking the nose, and imo, try to kick it diagonally upwards rather than straight forward. Use the whole side of your foot, which means rolling your ankle to make decent contact. People say "slide" your foot up the grip tape, but I think that's confusing; you want the actual slanted part of the nose to hit your foot so that the board will "hinge" around that point and swing the tail up to meet your back foot. Usually trying to slide it along the grip tape will keep it slightly rocketed and usually just moves the board more forward and away from you than is comfortable. If you're having trouble here, start with your foot closer to the nose so that you can just roll your ankle to do the work, and go from there.

Maybe try to learn to pop your shuvs first. Foot placement is basically the same as an ollie and you need the same type of pop. And ya you a pretty aggressive quick snap of the ankle.

i think its time to replace my old ricta supercrystals. classic or conical shape spitfire wheels? do conicals keep speed better or is the difference just marginal? is there any difference in powersliding etc?
Anonymous at Sun, 21 Aug 2022 07:23:03 UTC No. 112103
>>112100
conicals are pretty nice on crustier spots. if you are comfortable powersliding you'll still be able to powerslide, you wont set a world record maybe but you can still push through the board without having to fight the wheels too much. the biggest thing i notice is that they really force you to pop your flips, flipping isn't harder per se but you can't flop out a limp kickflip with them, which might make you a better skater in the long run.
if you just skate good ground and skateparks though, i'd stick to standard wheels
Anonymous at Sun, 21 Aug 2022 07:40:38 UTC No. 112105
>>112100
my interpretation I prefer the classic but the difference is pretty small. you get a larger contact surface area with the conical so yes there's more resistance when sliding if you want that but to be honest once you wear down a set of classics a few mm you're almost about the same as conicals in that regard. I don't do crazy tech but the curved edge of the classic felt like it was easier to more fluidly tweak the board a little bit idk hard to describe and keep in mind i'm a forever-beginner saying this

Guessing you are a spitfire head? Whats the best shape for someone coming off from 55mm 99a v5 bones? Conicals look fat as fuck but I wanna try a wider whell, especially since powersliding at high speed with bones feels like Im threading a needle. Also on thunder 147 and not using a riser, would I need a riser with a 55-56 mm spitfire wheel?

I’ve been riding lock ins for a while & they’re probably my favourite shape to ride. Asymmetrical conical basically with a flat inner side & curved outer side. The flat side makes grinds much more comfortable to hold but the tradeoff is that you lose speed faster because more friction

[spoiler]i've never actually ridden any bones or spitfires because the fire guy cartoon feels too corny[/spoiler]
i'm riding 56s right now on a 5.0 venture lo which looks like it's 1 mm shorter than your thunders, imo throwing risers on low trucks kind of negates the point of low trucks to begin with.
as far as wheelbite goes, just riding these trucks stock w/out ever adjusting them it hasn't been too bad but if i learn really hard on a manual there's some bite. i haven't been jumping down anything due to tendonitis so idk how it'll feel for that but for flip in flip out manny shit it feels okay. if you like your trucks super loose 56 might be too big though.

I did this with my cruiser and my old ruckus trucks; it was kinda weird at first but after tightening them it works fine...what is actually the whole point of low trucks? Easier flip in flip outs? Stability from being low to the ground? I never really payed attention to it since my skate shop only has low trucks mostly.

Once when I was a teenager, just skating some curbs in a suburb with my friends. Nothing crazy, just rolling off, shit slappies, roll on grinds, etc. Must have been there for 20 minutes and a cop car pulls up. Female officer comes out, says "look, some old fart in one of the houses over there called us. Can you just go around the block so we can say we did our job. You can come back later, we don't care, we're not going to respond to this gobshite again".
Pretty based, I have to say.

Reminds me of a time where me and my friends were chilling at some shit skate spot in our boring town and we were trying to skitch on tourist's cars as they stopped at the intersection. I tried to grab onto some guys bumper and he got out of the car and started screaming at me that he was going to call the cops and not to fuck with his car. I saw him on his phone so I bailed and started to skate back to the skatepark and then the cops drove past then did a u-turn and pulled up next to me on the sidewalk. They were like 'we just got a call that a guy was trying to ride on cars on his skateboard' and I was like 'uhh don't know that wasn't me' and then they were like 'well you match the description... just don't fuck around with the tourists this weekend mate' and they drove off.

Once when I was a teenager and I ran as soon as I saw them pull up and hid in a school, because I'm in yurop and cops here act different. Faggots straight up pulled up with their car hard braking and all 4 doors opened before it had even stopped. Luckily it was the old town and the architecture allows you to run in many different directions without being seen. More recently I was skating flat and some stairs in a public park when two faggot zogbots show up and try and start harassing me like cops usually do, except here you have to give them your ID, because the concept of freedom doesn't exist in yurop. Asked them if there's any law prohibiting me skating a public park considering I pay taxes, and why they're wasting taxpayer's money by wasting time harassing random people, but that's just what they do. They try to annoy and harass you until you're intimidated enough to not go there.

OP lock in guy here, I can understand what you mean by the clunky feeling, they definitely take some time to get used to. I think because of their shape & wide contact surface they feel quite grippy / best when going straight forward as opposed to doing 360 reverts & lots of sliding.
That being said I have grown to prefer their stability & can slide perfectly fine compared to the slickness / slide-ability of the classic shape which would annoy me sometimes (i.e situations I would slip out of when riding classics but not when riding conicals / lock ins).

You have to remember that it's not all about "practice". It's fine to just push around, cruise, look like shit, have fun. If it's work/life obligations stopping you from having a full session, I highly recommend just putting your board somewhere in your home and doing pivots and footwork-y shit 5 minutes at a time when you're idle.

29yo anon here. started skating a few years ago, got some ollies, fs and bs180, fs and bs shoves and got stuck on learning the heelflip
now there's a miniramp in 20min of skating from me, so third week in a row i got there every morning before work for an 1-2hrs of JOY.
From being able to drop in and rock-to-fakie i built to rock-n-roll, bs 50-50 stall and grind, a boardslide, fakie rock, i have a super shitty tail stall which is more of a tail tap and fuck, every day is the best day (because i'm going through the easy part, i get it)
Now here goes the big question: my neck and my back are killing me. I slam 1-2 times in a sesh max, and most of the time they're very lucky graceful falls but my neck and back feel beaten up BAD. How do i keep going?

It's also the last game to have actual skate footage used in the intro (until 1+2), and is probably the last one that reference core skating shit, rather than more mainstream pop culture with skating in it, which is why the series jumped the shark thereafter. It's been really cool to watch old skate videos for the first time and realise how many of the levels are made up of actual spots, with gaps pulled from the same videos.

interesting.
How long have you been skating? I think I felt much the same when I was just starting out but it's much easier to have fun once I figured out ollie, pop-shuvit, etc.
Just starting out tends to be the least fun part of any new skill, but it gets really fun once you get that shit down.

Not that I wish for anyone to get injured, but why did I have to be me and not some one else man? Right when I started recording to post webms in here too. Right when I was about to hit it off with the snowboard teacher cougar that skated at my local. Right when I was getting front heel noseslides to both regular and fakie. Right when I was about to finally try an anti hero deck. Right when they built this new sickass skatepark that's literally on California levels of perfect, and my country had never seen anything like it. It's not fucking fair man.

absolutely love em, they've lasted longer with less maintenance than the standard metal baring but ive been told they can chip easier from high drop impacts so i try to only use them for wet streets to save their durability otherwise they're fast as fuck

>>tfw skateboarding was actually unironically fun for me and I loved doing it but I had to tear my ACL and meniscus and now I still think about it literally every day
also tore my acl and didn't go to a doctor about it and now it has a painful and permanent audible popping sound when flexed. it effects everything I do and my skating, on top of making it easier for me to sprain my ankle which due to my age and eating habits is not healing anymore.

I've got this in both knees, right ankle from a nasty sprain as a teenager, my right elbow from a fracture, both shoulders from sprains (left one makes a whole series of grinding, popping noises if I rotate it backwards), my neck, my lower back, and my right hip. But I'm not getting younger and skating is worth all of that.
....hoping my hip gets better though. It aches like a bitch after an hour or two.

yeah anyone whos been skating most their life knows plenty guys like this, choosing drinking and a more leisurely activity or just drinking in general over skating is common the more older you get. those dudes probably had a fulfilling skate experience and are fine hanging it up. but those arent the guys itt. in here its a bunch of 20+ year olds who can barely ollie talking about how they'd rather be playing skate video games and living through youtubers.

I wear skate shoes from a skate company and I don't skate. Not trying to seem like I do. Will the locks skaters take an automatic stiletto to me?

For me feeble stalls are easier than 50-50 stalls because they don't require as much accuracy on the front truck. So if you're having trouble doing 50s maybe try them instead?
Anyway, that aside, the only trick tip I have for 50s is to be already turning your shoulders into the grind as soon as you're at the coping. This will probably make sense once you start being able to commit to getting all your weight up there.

calling out people who don't skate wearing skate shoes hasn't happened since like 2005 and it was only middle and high school kids doing that

canvas shoes are literally for non-skaters anon. before they died a pretty big chunk of supras catalog were unskatable. fwiw pacsun has existed long enough now that i doubt pretty much anyone will care and why are you trying to impress judgy teenagers to begin with anon, just give them drugs if you want to have sex with them so bad

1 foot high by 3 and a half ft long foot long makes a great ramp for skating. Easy to carry and you can put it on a curb for more height.
I made another but 2ft high but I think it needs at least 5ft of length to be a decent kicker. As it is it's more of a steep bank. It even sucks to hit on the fat bike

i still got my pot belly and weight like closer to 300 than i do 200 (260) and i feel like getting out there like i did when i was 160 i can still kickflip 50/50 180 ollie over stuff and noseslide (most of that i believe) i wanna go do that, i dont care if im in running shoes , should i "just go skate"? im like 50, walk for 2 hours for many miles for years. nice nasty fat look too so its totally stupid funny looking way to me! haha (no vert, that would be top funny tho)
