You can tell she's not going over the hydrant because despite her board being in line with the hydrant her shadow is showing that she's behind it. If she was actually over the top of the hydrant there would be no gap between the shadow of the hydrant and her shadow.
I don't even know why they thought it was a good idea to run that pic. It's sorta similar to this pic >>113696
in the way that it's hard to believe that the shot was the make but we all saw Tfunk's clip of that ollie so it sorta doesn't matter. The difference is there is no clip of her ollieing the hydrant and it's also a trick that any decent street skater could do instead of an insane hammer.

It'd have to be like right around sunset for the shadows to be separated like that and have her actually going over the hydrant.
Actually, it's possible that the dark shadows to the right of the hydrant are caused by a flash, and the actual sun's shadow is the faint one to the left of the hydrant, so that pretty much throws all the shadow argument out the door. Still doesn't look like she's going over it though.

Bro you figured out wrong. Let me spoonfeed you. Just get this reddit shit below. Trim your desired section. Crop it to 720p, because only retards post 1080 webms, then put a size limit of 3 mb, because that's 4chan, then enable VP9 opus and export. There you go. Perfect and easy webm. Literally remake this dogshit one you did right now.

You single digit IQ braindead stupid fucking retard As I said three times already for a disabled retard like you, you only get quality loss if you go full screen, since it stretches the image you mouthbreathing waste of space. Otherwise it's literally the exact same, just smaller and fits better on your screen. Again, if you watch webms in full screen on 4chan you should end your life immediately.

It's an actual park, not a skatepark. That shit in the back is basically a wallride. There's an actual bank next to a 10 stair with a rail on the other end and between that it's 4 sets of 3 stairs. Behind that grass shit is a perfect ledge although the run up isn't that good, but hey it's a street spot.

What the fuck does opening your webms even mean you mental midget? Unless you're downloading it and opening it in a different player, then yes you're opening it in your browser. Not that that even makes a difference, because it's the same exact fucking file you retard. If you're watching full screen youtube videos and changing the quality then yes retard it obviously matters. Because you RETARD if your screen is 1080p and you're STRETCHING a 720p video to FULL SCREEN you're obviously going to get a loss of quality. If you're just watching the preview on 4chan, which you should be doing, because this isn't fucking youtube or your local cinema, then it's the exact same fucking video but smaller. Literally no difference in quality. The only difference is that it's smaller you retard, except not small enough to be an inconvenience, because you can still fucking see what's going on.

When I was a kid and did my first heelflip the park was all brick and was not skateable at all. There's a big fountain in the middle which we skated instead, because the ground was smooth there. The spot was basically flatground, brick wallrides and 6 feet drop into the thing. Then they rebuilt the whole thing and the architect was a skater I bet.

this is coming from the third worlder who can’t even view 1080p content lol shut the fuck up dude. Do you actually know anything about bitrates in regards to making webms or do you actually let your retard proof program do all the work for you? How is it so hard for you to fathom that a 1080p webm at a high bitrate is going to look superior over a 720p webm at a lower bitrate?
Your only argument for 720p looking “cleaner” is because you don’t actually watch things in full screen because you have some kind of brain defect. you can seethe and cry and call me names all you want dude but you are really ignorant when it comes to video quality and this is a weird hill to die on. Idiots like you are why we will probably never get AV1 support, because VP8/VP9 webms “look cleaner”. You should take a trip to /g/ sometime my man, maybe you won’t be such an aggressive faggot when you understand *why* higher resolution = better quality. I shouldn’t even need to spell this out for you, but I guess that’s europoor education at its finest lmao

Yes retard, AT FULL SCREEN SINCE YOU WOULD BE STRETCHING IT, and yes retard, because 1080p is MORE than 720p and it will require MORE bitrate to render in order to keep the same quality. If you use the same ratio then the quality is THE SAME with the ONLY difference that it's SMALLER. Didn't read the rest you absolute drooling gorilla fucking human garbage. Like I have to highlight the important words for you like you're a kindergartener, so you can understand. Fucking retard for real.

Retard we're not comparing a high bitrate 1080p webm and a low 720p webmp you disingenuous faggot. Let me explain it like you're a complete retard (you are) and if you don't understand this time then you're a failed experiment. You have a baseline bitrate requirement to achieve the best quality of a1080p webm before degradation. Let's say for the sake of this tutorial, retard, that that is 1000 bitrate. You would have the same thing for a 720p webm, except, retard, it would be less, like let's say 700. SINCE IT'S FUCKING SMALLER. IT TAKES LESS SPACE ON YOUR SCREEN. YOU DON'T HAVE TO RENDER THE EXTRA THAT COMES WITH 1080p TO ACHIEVE THE >>>SAME EXACT<<< QUALITY. If you render 1080p at a bitrate suitable for 720p, you will end up with a worse quality 1080 resolution webm. On 4chan ESPECIALLY, you RETARD, you do the reverse example, since you have a 3 mb limit. So, fucking retard, a 1080 resolution webm CAN in fact look worse than a 720 one, if your limit is 3mb, and to fin within that size limit, you need to lower the bitrate in order to be able to render the HIGHER resolution within the same size. So in such a case, you mongoloid, your 1080 webm will look worse, albeit being bigger. Now, retard, do you understand why there is ZERO difference in quality, UNLESS you stretch the 720 webm to the full resolution of your monitor (FULL SCREEN), since obviously you don't have a 720p screen, ASSUMING you've rendered your webm properly using the proper bitrate to achieve the SAME quality, which is LOWER for a 720 webm, since it's FUCKING SMALLER.
If you don't understand it after this retard proof explanation, then you should unironically die. Also, nobody ever said it's "cleaner" you illiterate schizo. I said it in the sense that it looks better in terms of 4chan browsing, since it doesn't fill up your entire screen, not that the video itself is cleaner.

I already read your retarded post and your only argument is that 720p looks better because you aren't watching webms in full screen for whatever retarded reason. cope harder with your retardation dude, I make my own webms in handbrake and know all about bitrates and file sizes and diminishing returns, and with the switch from VP8 to VP9 you better believe I'm pushing to get the best quality out of the webms that I make, and to get that quality i'm rendering them in 1080p. keep sperging out though, you were the loser who brought this shit up in the first place so if anyone wants to complain about the thread getting derailed its all on your stupid faggot ass lmao. i'd much rather see a 5 second high bitrate 1080p webm over some low bitrate 20 second long 720p webm. you can keep coping however you want but just know that you are retarded

Nobody is posting low bitrate 720 webms you worthless sack of shit, so the quality is the same. If you knew about diminishing returns you'd know that. So either diminishing returns is real and you were wrong and should take your L, or you were right and diminishing returns aren't real, which they fucking are, because you can't use 50000000 bitrate to make a 1080 res webm turn into 8k. It wont be better quality. You have a size limit of 3 mb. You can't fucking use higher bitrate for higher quality, because the file size will be higher. The fact that two webms rendered at the proper bitrate will have the EXACT same quality regardless of resolution stands, and if you watch webms in full screen then you should kill yourself. Bet you're the same kid that can't change a car battery. Nobody else can be this useless and retarded.

Do you not understand that when you have two 3 mb webms but one is 1080 and the other is 720, then the 720 would have used more bitrate, while also requiring less to achieve the same quality in the first place? Are diminishing returns real only when you think it's in your favor? How many more examples do you need you larper? All you've said is "I know you don't" while not giving a single argument while I've explained everything to you and given you several examples.

Why the fuck don't you do that yourself and what the fuck would you be judging? The quality is the same. You're just stretching 720p into a higher resolution by going full screen, hence it looking worse, which a 3rd grader can understand. You're literally doing pic related and going "hurr durrr why quality bad" when I literally said from the very beginning that for 4chan specifically 720 webms are better because if you watch 5 second clips in full screen you should die in a fire and 720 is big enough to where you don't have to go full screen.

sounds like the problem is that your source is 720p and not 1080p, your drawing fails flat because you're blowing up a smaller image into a larger one, you aren't taking a 1080p ms paint drawing of a dick and shrinking it into 720p. what the fuck are YOU talking about dude?

>No it fucking isn't. Stop making random illogical shit up
what the fuck are you even talking about dude. you're saying that you're stretching 720p into a higher resolution by going full screen, and thats true, but the reason that is happening is because your source isn't in 1080p, aka 1920x1080, the resolution of a normal monitor and television in the year 2022. thats why I said 1080p would look better, because you aren't doing any kind of "stretching" whatsoever when you watch them you absolute moron. you fucking retard. what exactly am I doubling down on? why don't you draw that dick in 1920x1080 in paint, downscale it to 1280x720, and tell me what image has the better quality. you DO know you can find 1080P copies of skate videos on the internet, not youtube, uncompressed, so you can make 1080p webms, what won't need to be "stretched out" because most people have a 1080p monitor at the least.

Are you clinically disabled? This entire shitpost could have been avoided if your reading comprehension was at a level high enough to read and understand this post >>113753 where I clearly said that going full screen is retarded, hence a 1080p webm looking better in full screen being irrelevant, because the whole idea is to not go full screen for a 5 second clip on 4chan. I also never once said downscaling is better quality, I said it's literally the same, which is what you're trying to argue against. Because you literally don't lose quality by downscaling, only by upscaling. You are genuinely mentally ill. I hope you get cancer and die. It's close to 2 AM. I will not be wasting more time on the exact same 27 year old man that cannot change a car battery. No I will not make 1080p webms for 4chan, because that's retarded and pointless. Yes, stretching 720p to full screen on a 1080p monitor means worse quality. No, watching a 720p webm without going full screen does not give you worse quality, it just makes the webm smaller. You insist on going in circles over things I've explained multiple times. Either refusing to admit you're wrong or unironically lacking the basic intelligence to understand what you're reading. You are a lost cause. Nothing can help you. Go die.

And before you challenge your little brain to say more retarded shit my source is a 1080p video, I just always convert the webmp into 720p, so it looks like this >>113759 when I start watching it on 4chan. For the 50th time, this doesn't mean you lose quality, it means the image is just smaller. It's the same exact quality in a more compact form. You stretching that to watch it in full screen then crying is your own fucking problem so eat shit and unironically die for being a lesser human by not being able to understand something this simple.

It's pretty much an etched in stone skate law that chucks are shit for skating. They are flimsy and and you would be surprised what difference a little padding makes when you stomp the edge of your board down onto your foot. There is a reason skate shoes were created even though chucks predate the skateboard.

>you would be surprised what difference a little padding makes
this is why the "first" run of Cons skate shoes were the best, they were actually beefed up versions of their normal chucks with superior padding/grip/insoles/materials. but I guess they realized they could just cut corners on everything and slap some different looking stitching on the "skate" line and call it a day. sad honestly, the Anthony Poppalardo chucks were some of my favorite skate shoes of all time. they repackaged them into the One Stars but the superior quality just isn't there.
all of that being said, I do like the fastbreaks if you can find a pair in the wild. they're solid cuupsole shoes and kinda fill that dunk void
Anonymous at Fri, 2 Sep 2022 11:40:32 UTC No. 113922
I wore some pro leather Converse when I first started and they held up alright, but then again I wasn't doing flip tricks or as many ollies. I think Chucks (and Vans) were more popular skate shoes back in the day due to less common tricks requiring you to slide your foot on the grip all the time. Pool and transition skating, street plants, just surfy shit.
They're also just a nice shoe outside of skating that are easy to find cheap, so they're a handy option.

Been skating these frequently for 3 months and only shoo-gooed them 2 weeks ago, no holes, only 1 broken lace that I switched with the thicker ones(that come in the box).
Keep in mind these are the regular non-cons chucks 70s and I have zero holes anywhere,(I always get an ollie hole 2 weeks into skating a shoe) tho I dont do flip tricks regularly yet so the toecap durability may vary. But for what they are I think they have a place as a high boardfeel, lightweight vulc shoe. Also they are stylish and you cant change my mind about that. Look good->feel good->skate good

Based 70s lad.
I’ve been meaning to try a pair ever since I saw this part https://youtu.be/1X-c7LQlUos
Plus bobby dekeyzer is doing some of the best skating he’s ever done in them.
Converse are definitely jewish rat cunts though for slowly downgrading the actual chuck taylor over the past decades into such a shit tier paper bag around your foot of a shoe that they were able to release a ‘premium’ version which is literally the shoe they were originally making before they jewed it up. Did y’all know they put velvet on the soles of the cheaper chuck taylor instead of rubber so they can be classified as a slipper which make them cheaper to export?

Adidas busenitz is the best shoe of all time, converse are barely even a shoe, you get more protection wearing sandals.

YES I read that on slap too when I was trying to figure out why the fuck they were so slippery even with MOB grip which is crazy I’m kinda worried about getting another pair because of that, I literally gave up on them after 2 weeks of trying to skate them when I first tried them because of that but my buddy swears for him they are perfect right out the box I have no clue how to get rid of that velvet crap on the bottom faster other than skating them for a few weeks which is annoying when there’s no grip traction… I even tried bashing and scraping the bottom on rough pavement but it didn’t help much

I will definitely get holes in canvas (obviously suede is king for durability), but much less than compared to when I was younger.
The only idea I have why this happens is since I have better control of my board / feet now, I manoeuvre my shoes so that most of the contact is with the midsole, not the upper.
Canvas is also cheaper & more comfortable imo

PS Shapes might be better but the wood is absolutely garbage and their QC has been slipping hard this last decade. PS used to be the industry standard but BBS has surpassed them in terms of actual wood quality. PS feels soggy, unresponsive, very flexible but not in a good way, and dead after the break in period and I always end up retiring the decks because of how garbage they feel to skate. a handful of PS boards I have had actually started to delam pretty quickly too. while on the other hand, BBS has always felt very responsive, snappy, stiff, sturdy boards that hold their pop very well throughout the entire lifespan of the board. their QC isn't all over the place like PS either, paul schmitt gets high off of his own farts and thinks he can do no wrong and his boards are suffering greatly for it.

for me, it is simply the longest lasting version of any kind of skate shoe for the same price, and it actually holds the shape throughout the entire life of the shoe, unlike canvas that "molds to your foot", or suede that eventually bags out and feels somewhat floppy and unsupportive. the only actual downside, like i said, is that your foot basically can't get any airflow, and your feet end up kinda stinky if your skate shoes are also your work/casual/chiller shoes. however a lot of skate shoes these days don't actually offer you any kind of air flow so I guess that point is moot
>>114037
yeah, its a fun hobby, and if you skate at a park you're bound to make some casual friends unless you're a hardcore autist who can't even make basic conversation. and even if that IS the case, you'll run into some weirdos who will be able to deal with that

this is true but also skateparks can have pretty different group dynamics from one another. some are purely teenager hangouts and others tend to be more boomer oriented, this often means the boomer's wife & kids will be there too.
teenager parks will tolerate a lot more degeneracy and general shenanigans but they can also be somewhat awkward if you don't vibe with the in group. you are way more likely to get your shit jacked here. boomers are more or less nice but you can end up getting in trouble for really gay & stupid reasons especially if they have a helicopter wife who is kind of a cunt, it doesn't happen that much but also more than you would expect. you will 100 percent encounter a pad hero at this kind of park and they will never shut the fuck up about their pads.

I'm going through this exact same thing with a krooked board right now and I fucking hate it. I had a really squirrely feeling Deathwish board that I folded my ankle on and decided to get something slightly longer and ended up with this krooked thinking it would be perfect. it feels like a fucking board to skate and no matter how much I skate it, it never feels comfortable to me. I didn't realize that it isn't the actual length fucking me over though, it's the fucked up wheelbase that is throwing the entire setup off. honestly think about leaving it at the park for someone else to enjoy but board prices are fucked and I owe it to myself to get the most life out of a board I can.

i bought 4 krooked decks full price when I had money to blow just cause I liked the graphics back in 2020, after skating one I didn't set up another and gave the other 3 away, totally fell for the graphics again plus ben review I heard him mention the manderson shape having a rounder nose which i love totally forgetting how much I hated trying to skate flat with such a long board, it's fine for transition though...I think ill just leave it sitting on ice for a bit and save it for desperate times but after that experience with krooked decks i decided to try a creature stumps deck which is really short, some flip tricks still felt weird, my tres were hard to catch but kickflips were fine and came right up to my feet

that's basically my board except wider (7.75) i really like the extra length a lot because it makes manuals and nosegrinds feel retardedly stable and for tech shit i can still 360 hardflip which is probably the most you need any trick to whip the board around. switch tres have not been working at all though but my ankle is also a little fucked so that might not be the board.
it's honestly kind of weird how little height is factored in when it comes to skateboarding, pretty much any other board sport the shop will straight up tell you what you should be riding at your size.
it seems like wknd runs a lot of their boards kind of short so maybe you'd like those for a similar width/wheelbase

I got suckered in by the graphics too, I also really like the team they've got going on right now, keep putting out quality edits, and Gonz is just a loveable weirdo. but yeah, these boards are definitely fucked up to skate, and im just going to attribute it to the 14.38 wheelbase. like you said though, it feels fine on transition. in fact, the wider wheelbase, despite making my board feel like a fucking cruise ship, actually makes me less likely to hang up and easier to cradle tricks like back disasters and frontside rocks.

I had independents on mine. i've got an extra pair of thunders I've thought about throwing onto the board to try and help alleviate some of the issues, but I couldn't remember if it was Indy or Thunders that actually make your wheelbase wider because of the geometry of the truck and how the wheels end up sitting, so I just stuck with what I've been riding on the past couple of months already. like I said, transition feels ok because i've got more space to sit on the coping when im decking certain tricks, but any kind of flip tricks whatsoever feel really fucked up. even skating ledges is weird, basic bs noseslides and fs tails feel completely off because of how wide I feel like I have to stand on my deck to feel comfortable.
if anyone is actually in Southern California you can take this deck off of me for free. it's still in alright condition too.

I found a near-perfect spot for a diy in my city. It has a slab, it's small but looks clean. It has jersey barriers right by it that would be good to make some quick obstacles to get the spot popping. It's on a dead end road next to the freeway that no one uses except some hobos set up tents down there sometimes.
Only problem is that I have no one to build with. I have all the tools to start doing cool shit, should I just go and start building some shit on my own and hope some other locals show up and want to help out and skate it with me?
I'll go and take some pics of the spot this weekend.

nah my legs were bent after an hour of getting the timing of ollieing up curbs and to get thru that mental barrier of actually doing them...when I started doing 180s on it it all clicked but I had no more gas. Will definetly get a cleaner one for sure, and post it if I get a better setup

learn how to actually skate you fucking retard. trucks are sold individually because they don't wear out at the same speed, and if you were actually doing grinds that aren't just 50/50s you'd understand this.

there is no "proper" way to roll away from a 180 if you're talking about stance, and the lines between switch and fakie are blurred when you're rolling away from something because your feet are (should be) on the bolts, meaning you aren't riding switch nor fakie, you're just in the opposite stance. its not really switch or fakie until you're setting up for a trick. thats like saying you roll around nollie

Actually I don't know. Usually if it's out of a grind/slide people say it's "to fakie". I just said switch because the first thing that comes to my mind when someone pivots back after a 180 is that they can't ride switch. Because nobody says riding fakie.

If I didn't have floppy high tops I'd take a picture of both of them side by side to show you how equally worn out they are, but without my feet in them they kind of turn into wet bags and its hard to take a good picture of them. however the tread on both shoes is worn down exactly the same on each side because I'll switch push around too when i'm just skating to the spot. 180 off a curb, push/ride switch for a few blocks doing ollies up curbs and over manholes etc. even if you suck at switch it's fun to practice, makes your skate routine a little more spontaneous imo. I can post that picture if you want desu
>>114203
even if you're skating transition you can still do some easy switch tricks. I learned how to switch blunt stall to regular before I learned how to regular blunt to fakie because I was scared of the hang up factor, and doing switch ollies back to regular on something like the walls of a deep end op a pool/bowl where you have enough transition to actually pop an ollie before the coping/deck is actually very fun. try it out sometime.
but yeah, I definitely go through both shoes at equal speeds and i'm not even *that* good at switch. something like a switch heelflip will eat through your shoes pretty quickly because, at least for me, i'm using more of my foot to move the board (weaker non dominate ankle), meaning more of the shoe is making contact.

my back foot flicks way lighter than my front foot so the wear is different even though i skate switch a lot. i also do a lot more switch & nollie heels.
as for wheels, crooks, blunts nose & tailslides all have different contact areas on the wheel so if you have any preference at all they will wear out at different rates. even the way you distribute you weight just riding & pushing around causes them to wear differently.
also rip supra. these fuckers were retardedly durable, never run through the soles before blowing out the toecap before.

yup, and thanks. if im rolling up into it fakie, I'll bonk off the coping fakie into a normal noseblunt stall, and if im doing it switch, I just kind of lazily lock in because I'm not that good ha. You should really try for the switch 5-0s again, I actually tried that trick on transition and grinding switch on tranny is a totally different game over just doing stalls and deck tricks like switch fs rock or fakie noseblunts. you should definitely try to get them back, it would be a pretty awesome trick to pull out at random
>>114214
yeah the post about wheels was a bit of a shitpost, but to be honest, I find that if i'm actually skating to the spots I skate instead of just driving to the smooth ground skatepark, my wheels tend to wear out at a pretty even rate even if I'm spending half of the sesh just doing nose/tail slides and crooked grinds. I miss Supra too, I had the first Ellington model (the remake of his Emerica pro model) and they were tanks, those things lasted forever and kicked off my appreciation for leather shoes.

this is going to sound like such obvious advice, but you just gotta skate switch as much as you can when you're on your session. I see so many kids who neglect switch tricks, and when they actually ask me to play skate with them, despite some of them having solid bags of tricks, I can get so many of them with basic switch ollie/fs 180/bs 180/switch heel/switch pop shove its it blows my mind. even if its something as basic as rolling around switch, as in your feet are in the position to switch ollie at a moments notice, is such a helpful thing to get you used to being in the opposite stance. switch fs 180s are also surprising easy if you've never tried them, one of the laziest skate tricks you could do but they still feel nice when you get a clean snap on the ollie and just float down a curb or over come manhole in the road. you got it dude, if you ever got any questions feel free to throw them out. desu i'd probably be one of those kids if I didn't force myself to skate switch after multiple injuries making my front foot a bit weaker. a blessing in disguise but don't get to that point where you only force yourself to skate switch because you're too retarded to skate regular good enough

Thunders don't have the height of an independant and if you're building a cruiser you might as well go with indies anyways because they're going to have a more surfy turn = more fun on your board whipping around corners or doing little snake like moves on the sidewalk or where ever you skate at. if you got indies and 56MM wheels i wouldn't say you need risers either, since thats the setup on my board right now, and i'm a fatass who never gets wheelbite, or when I do it's usually because im actually doing tricks and landing fucked up, not because im simply riding around the town and cruising around.
also the entire point of a cruiser is that it that it isn't in the shape of a normal board. or at least, thats the point for me. I don't see why you'd get a generic shaped board and turn that into a cruiser over getting a shaped board that will make things a lot more fun.

Fair points, and good knowledge.
I can always swap out and play around too.
I do plan to build an actual cruiser board, but this is a nice inbetween imo which is what I wanted. Just a regular skateboard that can ride really smoothly. Seeing I'm new I gotta learn everything, this will allow me to get my footing and habits down to a regular skateboard, so I can then play around from there and figure out what I want.
It's a good "base" that can kinda do everything and isn't too stuck in one direction. I realized the 56mm wheels will probably be a good choice for this type of build as well.
Also maybe I'll also grab a set of Indies and check them out.

>It's a good "base" that can kinda do everything and isn't too stuck in one direction
thats a pretty fair point, however, i'd still check out something like some decks from a company like Polar, who not only make a lot of normal shaped boards, but also make a lot of cruiser/"side walk surfing" type of boards that you can still do normal tricks on, like some simple ollies or 180s, but they also have wheel wells already sanded into them so you can run some bigger wheels without the need for risers or fearing wheelbite. they're also just fun to skate in general. they also make normal shaped boards with wheel wells if you don't want some fucked up shape that you think will make it a big harder to skate. IIRC thunders are around 50MM in height and independants are around 55MM, a pretty huge difference when you're trying to run some bigger wheels for your setup. I can't speak for Ace trucks, people have said they're solid, but IMO its hard to beat indies from a straight up all around standpoint. excellent height and turning without feeling too high to the point where its all wobbly nor is the turning so fucked up that you feel extremely awkward on your board.

ace classics are literally the old indy formula with a couple modern enhancements. if i didn't flip the board and jump down shit they are what i'd ride.
also for the newfag anon, most of this truck talk is very autistic optimization stuff. i rode royals for years which many people consider to be 'bad trucks' now and they were totally fine for everything.
whatever you end up riding will just be what the default truck feels like for you. 95% of the meaningful difference you'll actually notice will just come from how much you tighten/loosen your trucks.
and as far as a board goes, literally just get one you think looks cool imo.

now I don't skate actual bowls, and just stick to transition and QPs, and im comfortable doing that, but holy shit hanging up can happen to anyone at any time and nothing else can compare to getting pitched to flat from the top of the coping. it's basically like hitting a rock at the top of a stair set but you don't have the realization you're about to die until it's too late. I've always tried to be well rounded with my skating and the worst injuries i've had have came from skating transition and bombing hills.

tnx for the tips, I am trying to skate more switch to and from the spot so Im getting into that ollie to push to ollie foot positioning, its just wonky af and I really gotta extend my arms horizontal to keep balance. And only tried like 6 switch ollies but I think I can get them in a month or so.
Honestly the only real question I got; do you switch ollie on the nose or does it not matter at all? I figured it made sense to learn switch with the tail infront cause youre going into switch from 180s and reverts, but then again pushing is a bit finicky since its my back truck infront.

>its just wonky af and I really gotta extend my arms horizontal to keep balance
while i don't necessary recommend it, you can push switch mongo to make the transition to switch skating a bit easier. when you put your foot back on the front bolts after pushing its a bit more comfortable over actually learning how to switch push and feeling like you just stepped on the board for the first time, only because your dominant flicking foot is still on the board controlling things (even if its on the back) compared to pushing switch where your weaker ankle is doing all of the controlling. it might make you a swongo pusher for life but at least you're skating switch lol.
>do you switch ollie on the nose or does it not matter at all?
when I'm skating switch and doing tricks i'm usually doing off of the tail end like I normally would, just because i find it more comfortable. you have that familiarity of popping off of the tail, even if you're in the opposite stance, compared to being in the opposite stance AND trying something off of the nose, where the truck being tighter/looser can throw off your balance. and like you said, your back truck is going to be in front if you're pushing around, and its going to fuck you up if you're just trying to skate around on flat ground. if I do something like switch fs/bs 180, I'll just do a quick no pop shove it to get my nose back around to the proper side. i find that entire process a lot easier over trying to switch skate the nose to be honest. and if you're doing shit like switch pop shoves, you can just revert back to regular after you land and everything is back the way it should be. maybe i'll try to get some shitty switch clips and motivate someone in here, even if its to do something as basic as a switch ollie over a crack.

Yea I tried that a month ago and its very easy but I wanna get a proper switch push, mongo pushing switch makes sense to me for switch/fakie tricks but cruising around there is way, way too little balance/stability for it to be managable imo
>you have that familiarity of popping off of the tail, even if you're in the opposite stance, compared to being in the opposite stance AND trying something off of the nose
>if I do something like switch fs/bs 180, I'll just do a quick no pop shove it to get my nose back around to the proper side
Alright that actually makes more sense then forcing yourself to ride the tail/nose while switch, Ill keep it in mind tnx

This would be s tier if you grinded the curb

Funnily enough, on the first few tries I landed into a nose stall that felt sick, but the ledge is too crusty and sticky right now for grinding. Definetly gonna try getting into grinds soon.
Also whats the best way to make crusty/shitty curbs grindable/slideable? Just wax? I got the time and energy to make some small DIY shit if thats what it takes to get a proper curb spot in my neighbourhood

Think most people spray lacquer or paint it, let it dry then add some wax

wax works but if its rough its easier to do this

the only problem with spray lacquer is that the rattling can noise can make it look like youre a graffiti VANDAL and that might attract too much attention

some people like to skate the board reverse for switch, which makes a fair amount of sense b/c it means you'll have the same kind of pop for switch & nollie. i personally just throw down because the second you do a shuv or a hardflip or a bigspin that's not even gonna matter imo.
i'd personally recommend against getting too attached to switch mongo. in my approach at least, the key to good witch is to stop thinking of it as 'switch'. it's newgame+ and you're skateboarding at level 1 and the hardest thing to is stick with grinding your weaker stance to parity rather than just go back to regular on reflex every time you need to roll off a curb.
probably the best thing i ever did for my switch game is skating with my dog switch, you could apply that to any kind of errand but the nice thing about a dog is that they force you to operate more on reflex

Yep hanging up is the worst and it always just happens when you get too comfortable with a trick.
