maybe im just old and boring now but jumping down stairs feels so dumb to me now and has zero appeal...it looks mindless, low effort, and not creative. much rather watch and skate rail skating or see and do a line of ledge and manual tricks.

it's all about how you do it just the same as anything else. imo jumping down stairs & gaps is the most simple and pure fun you can have on a board, going fast, flying and then stomping shit just feelsgoodman and so does the sense of accomplishment you get when you jump down something big.

Do you guys have any tips or tricks you use to make your board stay fresh for as long as possible?

One of my pet peeves is dirty grip tape, so I make sure that if I walk through a patch of dirt or something I brush my shoes off before I get onto my board. I hate dirty, dusty grip tape because it's slippery.

Based 180 learner and enjoyer.

The extent of my street skating is ollies and 180s up and down curbs, fs and bs slappies and little wallrides, I love just fucking around with those tricks. My favorite one is when you are going off the curb diagonally and then you 180 off it the hard way, like going off the curb frontside but then you backside 180 off it.

I have literally not once ever filmed a single clip of myself skating in the 17 years that i've been doing this hobby. people didn't have cameras in their pockets when I grew up skating so filming tricks feels unnatural. are you really this bad at skating that you can't believe someone in here can do one of the most basic tech ledge tricks that you could possibly do?

bs noseslides are back in full swing pal, zoomers made them cool again and they pop up all over the place these days in videos.

>>114419
>they'd go frontside
no they wouldn't, what are you even talking about? half cab flip into FS nose slide is basically doing a 270 flip into FS nose slide, why the fuck would anyone learn that as their first tech ledge trick over doing a half cab flip bs nose slide when you can lazily do a fakie flip and turn 90 degrees into a nose slide?

There's no such thing as a fs cab. A cab is always backside. If you want to assume there is, then you have to at least put the fs/bs before the cab, and not after, which is when you use it to describe the position of the ledge.

yeah, it's backside, because you are rotating to your regular position into a backside nose slide. why is it so hard for you to humble yourself and accept that you don't know as much about skateboarding as you're pretending you do? a half cab bs nose slide is rolling up with the ledge in front of you dude. rolling up with the ledge behind you and and doing fakie 270 flip into front nose would be half cab front nose despite the ledge being behind you. please learn how skate terminology works my dude.

If a ledge is in front of you it's always frontside you semen slurping moron. What you're trying to describe is called a half cab noseslide. There's no bs/fs in there, because a half cab is always a fakie bs 180, but if the ledge is in front of you the trick is frontside. It's not a bs nose just because it looks like a regular bs nose when you lock in you inbred poser. If the ledge is in front of you, it's frontside.

you are definitely not going to be able to do tricks with wheels that huge, even with risers, that you didn't include in your set-up. if your city is crusty i'd recommend 58MM at the MOST, and something on the much softer side in terms of duro. like, the average skater is on 101 - 99 duro, i'd probably say you should look into something like in the range of 80-90DU, even though they feel kind of weird at first, they power through any kinds of cracks and crust you can think of. not a fan of Rictas desu but I DO really like OJ wheels if you want to have some other options.

assuming you're asking for advice on when to go to the skatepark:

Weekday mornings and throughout the day until like 3-4pm will be uncrowded at almost all skateparks. Good time to skate if you are learning or just want to skate with no one around.

Weekend mornings usually have families coming around which means little kids on scooters and other annoying shit but you will also get the slightly older skaters coming out to have a session before the zoomers.

Weekdays and weekends in the late afternoon usually are the most crowded.

Nighttime sessions can be crowded too if your local park has lights, but there are less little kids and high schoolers so if you are a comfortable skater it's a fun time to go.

I think mallgrabbing is a tell of a newbie/non-skater because it's an awkward hold to throwdown from and run with. Much easier to hold the middle of the board and grab the nose.

Also, not to repeat a dumb argument I had here months ago, but I still think pushing mongo is fine in 99% of cases even though I know default to regular pushing. Honestly, I don't know why you wouldn't want to be able to push both ways. It's so fucking handy to have that option and it makes switch pushing easier too.

the problem with VXs is that its basically outdated technology in terms of what you are working with. you can rig your camera up to record straight to a SD/HDD with some technical skills, but otherwise you're going to be having to deal with finding MiniDV tapes, installing a firewire port on your computer, camera glitches etc. HD cameras are a lot easier to deal with simply because you don't have to deal with the headache of old technology. not to mention that if you fuck up your VX, good luck getting it fixed if you don't know what you are doing yourself. not to mention that the VX Death Lens is basically impossible to find at non fucked up prices, and finding one for sale without some kind of scratches/threads full intact is going to be a real bitch.

you can still capture the soul of VXs with HD cameras with the proper set-ups and all of the benefits of HD. 4:3 aspect ratio and the same framing but you'll have better picture quality, but i don't think you can replicate that crunchy classic VX sound quality. I know you guys love to shit on slap for whatever reason, but the filming board can steer you in the right direction even if you're just reading the boards, you don't have to participate. I suggest you check out the HD 4:3 thread and the VX1000 general if you want to actually get some reliable information

IIRC they actually stopped producing MiniDV tapes. you can obviously still find them on Ebay but I think at some point in the future it's going to be a dead end, its why people started looking into the SD/HDD extensions in the first place. I do think its really fun messing with older technology, and more people should definitely toy around with stuff like that if they get the chance, but if you're a zoomer who basically grew up with technology that is so streamlined that a retard could figure it out, going back to something with physical tapes and the like might be a little weird feeling and take some time to really get used to. All of that said, i'd never really steer anyone away from using a VX1000, the look is so iconic, and while you can do a bunch of stuff to your HD footage to mimic the look, nothing will ever come close to the real thing, as long as you actually get your settings all figured out.

I personally think they're outdated and not worth the effort (and I like seeing tricks in detail), but you can hook what's basically a capture card up to any miniDV camcorder and record directly onto SD cards. You obviously don't get tape degradation, but it's otherwise the same image. That's how anyone still using a VX1000 is getting their footage these days, because otherwise you have to either edit with a fucking tape deck, or digitize the tapes afterwards anyway.

IMO I'd rather just get a GoPro, stick a shotgun video mic on top and then add filters and shit to it in post. They're cheaper, smaller, more durable, easy to replace/repair, shoot higher quality and in higher frame rates, and you can fit them in all sorts of cradles and handles. They're not a 1 for 1 replacement for a VX, but they have so many more advantages against it for a fraction of the price. I mean, you're ultimately paying nearly a grand for an aesthetic.

I guess, but I think they're great for follow along shots or those types of clips where you're close to the landing, which is what people seem to love the VX for the most. But yeah, they're pretty much pointless for a nice long shot of a rail or stair set or something.

bros it's not fair. How do I get a skater bf to play SKATE with? should I actually talk to him instead of avoiding eye contact and walking to the opposite side of the park every time he's near me? surely that would never work, shouldn't he just read my mind and approached someone that acts afraid of him anyways? how does she do it?!

I had some Snot wheels because I really like FOS and try to support the shit he does, but the quality just wasn't my thing. super fucking hard, couldn't skate in the streets with them, basically a park only wheel. they do look really cool though and i like the transparent/pastel color offerings. if the ground isn't buttery smooth around you, avoid those wheels. I'm skating some OJs right now and I really like them. soft enough to deal with crust but they still slide on ledges and handle the parks just fine. if you've been Bones only for so long, why not try out some spitfires? they have a good reputation for a reason, and a lot of solid offerings in shape/color/duro.

Slap at least has people who are knowledgeable about skating but it also has reddit tier conversation most of the time. /Esg/ would be so sick if there was just a handful more guys who could actually skate in here who were knowledgeable enough to have respectable opinions. Like if you're a decent skater and you've put some time into this hobby to get where you're at that's respectable and your opinions are welcome but if you're still struggling with basic flip tricks then you should probably sit down for a while because your opinions aren't worth shit in this thread.

I actually did have some spitfires when i was younger and i hated them because they got bad flatspots within like a week of riding them and I gave them away. That was before the V4s existed though. The spitfire site has these on there but I haven't seen these in any shops or online stores, but they look fucking sick. Is the v4 formula basically good for everything?

yeah, these look fucking awesome and I was going to recommend them just for the color aspect, but like you said, I couldn't really find them in online stores. the catalog just dropped though, and they're probably in transit right now, probably gonna start popping up within the week or so.
>Is the v4 formula basically good for everything?
definitely. Spitfire were pretty garbage back in the 2000s/early 2010s, I had the same shit happen to me as a kid, and I swapped to Bones for a pretty solid stretch, but the F4 line really stepped up their quality. they hardly flatspot, hold their overall shape really well, don't really "yellow out" over time (but if you're skating the colored variations its basically a non issue), don't chip/flake away that hard, slide great on concrete and ledges, honestly a fantastic wheel. F4s have a pretty solid hold on the wheel market and it's for a good reason. plus all of the shapes they offer at various duros make it so appealing to just get a pair and throw them onto whatever set-up you're running, because they have something for everyone. all of that being said, I still like to branch out to other wheels from time to time. like i said, OJs are solid wheels even if you aren't getting their filmer/cruiser wheels, Bones are coming out with new formulas sometime soon if you want to sit and wait on those and keep yourself in familiar territory, SMLs are alright if you can find them and have two different formulas for different crust levels and you're supporting "skater owned business" if thats something you value.

I never see stupid shit in the gear threads or the film/photography sections of the board. definitely agree about /esg/ though, I try and help out a lot of people in here just because i've been skating for years, and feel like i'm pretty knowledgeable on subjects, but I see so many posts in here from dudes who clearly have no idea what they're talking about and have to insist they're right and you're wrong, it kind of sucks. even if it's just "banter", ironic shitposting is still shitposting, and all these people are doing are driving out people who actually want to learn about skateboarding because some dude can't not act like a faggot for one single thread.

I started at 33. Could ride around somewhat and do sketchy ollies, that's it. I started slow in skateparks between 6-9am so that they were empty, or I tried to find some flatground to roll around to help get used to pushing and going fast. I don't know if kids would ever laugh at me cause I've really only ever skated around other adults. I don't think it's something you should be concerned about at 33, though, because fuck kids what the fuck do they know? They're always trying to find something to make fun of or be a smartass about, so you've just gotta treat them like little subhumans and disregard everything that they say and do. Almost everyone under 20 is a little shit, but that's just teenagers for you and you shouldn't take anything they say seriously. If you're lucky, they can even be sort of fun to hang around if you have no choice. Anyway, just remember that ultimately no one actually gives a shit about you, so do what you want.

I actually have the opposite issue right now where I can 50-50 all day long on steel coping because you just sit on top, but in bowls with pool coping you have to be way more leaned into the bowl and I just can't get it.

As for your issue you might just need to go faster to get your weight on top. Also when I do it I make sure I go 5-0 for a split second and then tap down into 50-50 so my weight is not too heavy on the front truck, that allows you to sit on it for longer.

the plastic core at the center of Bones leads to a lot of blowouts and cases of bushings just collapsing into themselves a lot quicker over a standard bushing, even if the standard bushing has a brutal break in period that takes some time to get used to. have you actually never blown out your Bones? Mine look like shit and have for as long as i've had them, but it's not that big of a deal for me because i can still control my board good enough to skate around. others might not be so lucky though

this has happened to every pair of Bones i've had, from Soft/Medium/Hard, Black and White pairs. the plastic core ends up "separating" from the bushing and sinking deeper and deeper into the bushing, leading to really fucked up turns/response time. and like I said, while I can deal with that, because it's something i've always had to deal with when using Bones, just recommending them to someone over stock bushings because "they just work" is retarded when you're going to blow them out faster over standard/stock indy/thunder bushings. the fucked up bushings can really mess with your wheelbase too because they keep sinking further and further down and so are your trucks. great turn/response when they're new, with zero break in period, but they turn to shit pretty quick if you're actually skating often, and if you don't know how to control your board with fucked up bushings, you're going to be getting a lot of unnecessary wheel bite/very sloppy landings. Besides the weird break in period, i'd probably recc. stock orange indy bushings/stock white thunder bushings over Bones these days.

Wait, I forgot to ask. How much do you weigh bushingsbro? If you're 300 lbs I'm sorry for bullying you.

it happens no matter how tight/loose you ride your trucks, i think the issue is more to do with the fact they have cores and aren't just a solid bushing like you'd find on stock pairs of trucks. and it's a pretty known issue too, i've talked to plenty of people who have had the same problems with them, I don't know why this guy is acting like it's a one off case of me being an idiot

What's hilarious to me is that I've had these exact same bushings (white/soft) and the exact opposite issue you have. I could barely keep the nut on the kingpin even without the washers. I don't have them anymore but picrel is what became of the nut. Shit fell off a few times too, should have tightened them down like you did, kek. Anyway I actually liked them but they do feel like they don't last as long as stock.

I don't even run my trucks crazy tight or anything, I swear lol. I think it's more of a bunch of different issues. it's 110+ degrees outside and I keep my board in my car, leading to my bushings becoming extremely soft so I'll have to tighten them a bit more, and the bushings themselves being blown out in the first place causing me to have to kind of go wild on the nut. I basically had the same issues you did with my thunders + bones set-up, I couldn't actually skate them as loose as I wanted without the nut barely hanging on, leading me to grinding into the nut itself. here are my thunders with a newer set of bones I was running before I made the switch (again) to independents to try them out after just being over thunders for the time being. maybe i'll switch back though. also think Independents might have a slightly longer kingpin, but don't quote me on that one. even if I ran them loose they'd still explode at some point.
