>bushings
Look, Bones bushings already feel broken in and don't last as long, but Indys are putting out hot garbage like this. This is their hardest bushing, tightened till the bolt was flush with the nut, after a single session. Their shit is mashing out over their washers, cutting into it and falling apart immediately. The next two steps down in hardness were similar, only with the addition of buckling out and degrading to the point that you may as well not even bother getting the hard ones at all after just a few sessions.
What is currently working for me is the hard Bones, with an extra washer on top so that it has enough tightness without needing to wring the bolt too much.

None. I'm on my second set now (could have stuck out the last ones longer) and they immediately feel like something you've been skating for like 2 weeks. They started to degrade to the point of feeling loose after maybe 2 and half to 3 months.
>>115073
I've heard it from a good few people online and from my local skate shop that their stock bushings were garbage. Seems like a bad batch from China. But I was surprised to see it was the same with the 3 replacement sets I bought too. And yeah, that's from the washer they provide. Maybe if it was curled up more/deeper the bushing wouldn't be able to mash over the edge and cut itself like this, but it really shouldn't be so mashed to begin with.

actual Bone Swiss bearings are like next level, you can only go so fast with pumping and carving if you're running some shitty bearings, and they're more prone to blowing out with shitty plastic cages, crappy shield covers, being over lubed straight out the package etc.

Caballerial = vert trick, fakie FS 360 ollie, land back to regular
Half-cab = naturally half of that; vert fakie FS 180 ollie, land fakie
Street versions are the same trick, only you're naturally going to land fakie and regular respectively due to the continuous direction you're rolling at. When the hell did these become BS spins?

Apologies in advance for the blogpost but maybe you'll get something out of it.
I randomly decided to watch Andy Anderson on a recent Dan Corrigan video. I usually avoid that dude like the plague but Andy is sick. He often has these words of wisdom that are better than trick tip videos. In this particular video he was doing a 50-50 down this long ass rail and Dan asked him how he does shit like that and his advice was basically "jump into a pose with your knees bent and then move as little of your muscles as possible, basically try and be a statue". He added that when you're like this, you can make subtle adjustments with your fingers to correct your balance. I kind of knew this intuitively but I was still like "haha ok Andy sure, its all in the fingers". But whatever I found myself at the park today, trying front noseslides which I suck ass at and at best can only really do whimpy stall ""slides"" on. I tried Andy's advice of jumping into it as a pose with my knees bent, and right away I'm holding that shit for 3-4 feet. I don't even have much practice sliding backwards, so yeah, knees bent and try not to move a muscle. Fucking good advice.
Similar advice, I watched Manny Santiago teach a kid how to 50-50 a round bar. His advice was knees bent, don't even try to stand up or the board will flip over. This I kind of knew because I've eaten shit on flat bars that way.
Finally I heard that the secret Rodney Mullen gave to Antwan Dixon (which he allegedly forgot), was to always jump with your shoulders, not your arms. The reason being that your balance is easily thrown off by arm movement, so do what you can to keep it to a minimum. This is all advice I just randomly came across this week and consciously have applied today, and it's really fucking helped. Hope it helps you.
tl;dr jump with shoulders, keep knees bent, minimize arm movement

actually really helpful advice, I've been trying to figure out how to decrease my arm movement just cause I think it looks goofy, whenever I do a trick that eagle out to the back of me and it looks ridiculous. I noticed well-seasoned skaters at my local skate like they are putting all their power into one hand when they jump but now I realize it's in the shoulders huh

Anonymous at Fri, 9 Sep 2022 07:17:28 UTC No. 115262

easy, wheelie is on one wheel and goes backwards a manual uses 2-3 wheels and goes forwards. Legs are slightly bent for a manual whereas with a wheelie they are locked straight. If you turn direction in a wheelie it becomes void but you are allowed to touch the ground briefly, whereas with a manual you can turn directions but cannot touch the ground. I have to give this speech to the guys at my local all the fucking time and they never remember.

You ollie into a manual, you just pop the wheels up for a wheelie. 99.9% of skaters under the age of 40 no longer know the distinction. Just look at what’s happened to the 360 kickflip and the inward kickflip. Now it’s ‘tre flip’ and ‘hardflip’, respectively. Axle grinds are called 50-50s, and 50-50s are called truckstands now. Magic flips are kickflips.

Didn't read this entire post, but if you're played any kind of sport that includes jumping, you'd know that using your arms (properly) when jumping gives you a height boost. What the fuck does jumping with your shoulders mean?

Literally nobody but cruiserfaggots use "wheelie" in skateboarding. Hardflip has been around for infintely longer than "inward kickflip", which was only used for a short time before the real trick name came around. Tre flip is obviously shorter for 360 flip, and there's nothing wrong with that. Just like saying shuv instead of shove it. Some only used "axle grind" for transition and there's literally nothing wrong with saying 50-50 either way. People still say axle stall. Nobody fucking says truckstand. If they do, shoot them. Magic flips? Go back to 1923.

The problem with these threads is that even if people here skate they dont give a shit about skateboarding outside of their own world/progress so your never really going to get any discussion about anything, just shit flinging. A clip of someone doing an Ollie doesnt lead to any kind of discussion it just leads to assholes screaming "go faster!!" or reddit tier "good job anon!!" In the past when Ive tried to start threads with recent videos or articles nobody ever talks about them in the thread they get ignored for basic barebones beginner discussion and retard arguments. Both the guy whos been skating for a year and never even watched a skate video and the guy who hasnt skated in 20 years and last video he saw was Photosynthesis are going to be boring as fuck to talk to and they certainly arent going to mesh under one roof.

Skateboarding is not all about jumping over picnic tables with a vertical leap, retard. It requires you to keep your shoulders square with the board for stability before anything else. Do a kickflip out of a manual.
>shoulders
Rodney Mullen is a physics nerd about skateboarding and all he was saying was Antwuan had a natural talent for it because he didn't heave his arms up and led his movement with the shoulders, which kept the necessary movement to a minimum and his skating more stable. Just watch him skate and you can see this https://youtu.be/McfHyR93JGw
If you can do a 180, you've already jumped with your shoulders taking the lead. Its what allowed you to keep the board perfectly underneath you as you rotate and why you don't just tilt off your board. Style is one thing but there is the universal truth that to do any of this shit you need to stay over your board, and you do that with your shoulders.

cheap boards are kind of a crapshoot quality-wise. sometimes they'll crack or start to delaminate in like a week and sometimes they're just fine. when premier switched to chinese manufacturing i remember my bros were having broken boards and defects all the time and my board lasted 2 seasons of jumping down shit every day but then i had another that snapped just doing a tre flip on flat lmao.
i also think it depends on how hard you tend to stomp your landings because i land pretty lightfooted and almost never outright break boards.

No, just you skating and getting it on your own with time when you start getting more comfortable. I'll give you the cheat to ollies for now. Try doing a smooth jump without your board and notice how you jump much higher and have more hang time. Copy that to ollies. It's literally the secret.

Had a sesh at Hop Kingdom tonight, Jamie Griffin showed up. I don't if it's that he's just taller in person than he looks on camera, but the fucking height he can get off the bank there is ridiculous. I think he bailed like 6 tricks the whole time. Fakie double lazer flips down stairs, caught them perfectly every time. He's seriously levelled up since BATB.
Another dude there did a half-flip into darkside stall, varial flip out, then a fucking double tre with a late kickflip after struggling for a while.
What the fuck is skating anymore? I used to think kickflips to crooks to shuvs out were the pinnacle of street skating.

if you mean tre flip late flip that's actually not that hard provided you have enough hangtime. then it's purely a matter of timing your stomp.
people were doing a lot of this shit in the 90s and there's a reason they stopped in the 90's lmao. the hardest thing about lateflips is making them actually look good and not fucking retarded. p rod is one of the few people who does this.

went to a local park about 30 mins away because it was closer to the beach and not as hot. some roller roasties had waxed the FUCK out of the coping and it was borderline unskateable. even the 8ft tranny had been waxed up. shit is just dangerous as fuck when it's that slippery, there needs to be some street justice for anyone that does that shit.
i still got some honest stand up 5-0s in the 6ft tranny though, pretty happy with that.

already too late but fs 50-50s are really easy when you realize both A) you want to look ahead of the ledge and lock in at that spot, and B) you lock in heelside and have the majority of your trucks riding on the ledge. comes pretty ezpz at that point. backside is a lot harder IMO

yeah, fs 50s on tranny are so much harder over going backside, kinda funny how it's the total opposite when it comes to ledges. although, if you can bs 50 on transition, it's not that bad to get them on curbs because you can kind of approach it like doing bs axle stalls at first going head on and slowly work your way up at that point. frontside anything for me on transition just seems really hard to wrap my head around

for me smith grinds, blunts and nollie nosegrinds are much easier than 5050s. flipping in is sort of easier too because you can just pull your feet up while the board flips rather than muscling out the pop from an ollie. i learned kickflip back tails and hardflip back tails way before i learned normal tailslides for that exact reason

you should take this to the next level and learn nollie noseblunts, they’re honestly so much easier over normal noseblunts because you aren’t going to have to swing the majority of the board around. As long as you can get a solid proper nollie going on, you’ll probably get them pretty quickly, even more so since you have the nose grind variation down.

I've never not seen good stock bushing in the last 10 years. Same with my venture hi's. Bushings felt great but got destroyed really fast. That's why you always get bones hard bushings or maybe some other ones with good reviews. I don't think I've ever felt I'm about to snap anything more than usual, and if I remember correctly these ventures are a bit higher than the indies. I just got ghost pop for a bit. Probably just need to get used to it.

I can’t do 5-0s to fakie but I can bs pivot to fakie, it’s all in the back of your heel. you basically want to rock your heelside foot into the transition and you’ll go in so quickly that you won’t really have to fear your trucks hanging up. I’d imagine actually grinding a 5-0 and going to fakie is an entirely different ballgame but I’d still toy around with pivot fakies to get comfortable with them

Thanks. I think 5-0 to fakie or pivot to fakie is probably one of the coolest tricks you can do but I've always just been too scared to commit to the properly. I can go pivot to rock to fakie. I'll remember your heel tip next time I'm trying them.

Is it also true that you basically want to keep most of your weight in the ramp for a pivot to fakie? That's probably another issue I have, because I definitely stand up on top when I do a pivot
Anonymous at Sat, 10 Sep 2022 23:55:18 UTC No. 115631
>>115630
yeah, at least for me, that makes them so much easier. when you lock in you want to be somewhat on your toes (i'm doing them backside) to actually stay balanced, but when you're coming back in, i'd rock to my heelside and just kind of fall back into transition. and since i'm not actually standing on the coping (and arguably not doing the coolest version of a pivot fakie) and rather inside the transition, I'm looking into the ramp/behind me the entire time. since you can already 5-0 you'll probably be comfortable with actually balancing them, the roll in backwards is honestly the hardest part. and having fakie mannys definitely helps. if that trick is a mind fuck for you like it was for me at first, picture them more like switch nose manny instead and they're a lot easier to understand. I really want to get the pop in version though, i just kind of nudge myself off the coping back into the ramp

i'd one hundred percent say getting used to ollie fakies will help you unlock some - to fakie transition tricks. rock to obviously help, but if you can ollie to fakie, it's a better stepping stone. that momentum you have from landing in the transition is different compared to just kinda stalling on the coping from a rock to fakie, plus you can actually get used to falling fakie if it happens. most likely your heels are gonna hit the transition and kind of pitch you backwards, but its a lot less scary compared to hanging up on the coping and getting pitched to flat. plus they just look really cool.

kek, i literally do it the exact opposite way, but it works for me. i rock back to my heel side because i find it easier to get my truck off the coping and back into the transition that way. when I tried to to it more with my toes, i found myself hanging up easier because I had less control of my board coming back in, since i only had control of it with my toes, instead of rocking heelside and basically having my entire foot control the board on the way in. a bit more stable, but I mean shit, I'm not Mccrank, and he's a legend. i'd try them both out and see how you feel. but like I said here about ollie fakies >>115636 you might get some heel drag pitching you towards the bottom, so maybe ricks advice is better here. regardless, I hope you get them trannybro. your FS smiths made me want to learn the backside variation, and I can stall them, but actually grinding them seems like a bitch

Anonymous at Sun, 11 Sep 2022 00:51:38 UTC No. 115641
>>115640
the majority of my weight is inside of the transition, not on top of the coping, and it's easy to roll back in because i'm already balancing lightly on my toes when i'm locked into the pivot. when i put pressure on my heel side, the wheel just slips off of the coping and back into the transition.

his way probably works a lot better if you're actually standing on top of the coping doing pivot fakies, but like I said, I do mine where I'm basically still in the transition. rocking heelside, for me, when I'm coming back in, makes it very easy to get my board from the tweaked position of the pivot to a straighter, blunt fakie board positioning and level it out so i don't eat shit coming in. and when i shift my weight from my toes to my heel, the wheel basically just "unlocks" off of the coping, since I was already in a nimble, toe lock in in the first place. different strokes for different folks obviously, but i'd try them both out and see what way works for you the best.

Hey fellow skatebros. First time in this board actually. I’m an oldfag (29) looking to get back onto a deck.
Im looking at the following
Almost Ivy League deck 8” (Mullen)
Mullen was my skate hero in my teen days.
Tensor night shift trucks
Bones Swiss bearings (not the ceramic ones)
Sushi wheels 99a like 53mm or 54mm
Im 1,90m tall shoe size 45
That’s 6 foot 3 and shoe size 11 for you hamburgerbros
The only thing I’m not sure about is the wheels. I don’t know the brand but they fit the aesthetic I’m going for.
Thanks in advance

I'd highly recommend getting a bigger board. I'm a 6ft with size 11 shoes and an 8.5" is about as comfortable as I can get before it becomes too unwieldly for popping and flipping. A 9" actually fits my whole foot and feels much nicer to cruise on, but 8.5" is what I normally skate and even then it's hard to keep my foot on and not get toe/heel drag. If you want to skate like Mullen, you'll probably want a smaller board eventually. I'd still advise getting a bigger board to begin with and scaling down once you have your basics down pat and feel fully natural skating.
Also, imo Sushi wheels and bearings are shit. Just get Spitfires or Bones instead.

That's me exactly and I personally moved onto 8.25. I can still skate an 8 but I'd rather not. Bones swiss are a waste of money, unless you don't care. Can't comment on tensor trucks since nobody skates them, but they should be fine. Sushi wheels are literal who's, but they should be ok too. Almost is cringe but you do you. All in all I'm recommending not spending extra on meme bearings and maybe getting a bigger board. As someone with your measurements I also prefer skating decks with wheelbase a bit bigger than the standard 14, because I have long legs, but that's just me.

Sushi was for the wheels, Swiss for bearings.
Also I forgot to explicitly mention I skated for 10 years non stop. I just gotta get back in the groove but I haven’t lost all of it. I think 8” for now will be a good middle ground. Thanks for the advice pal!

It's not anecdotal, also it's literally just bearings. Reds, swiss, super swiss, super gay alphabet swiss, swiss snake oil edition, they all spin the same, but if you wanna get swiss, then get swiss I guess. If you used to skate for 10 years then I'm not sure why you're asking these questions also.

Internet was not as full of info about this stuff in my country around 2003 yknow.
I already ordered the bones Swiss so we’ll see how they are. Defo worth checking whether 8.25 is better than 8

I literally turned 30 today, little kid. The only thing that's changed is the board size trend and people riding bigger boards. I don't think I've noticed any other significant change. I kind of did a similar thing to you by the way and I knew right away I'm too big for an 8. I skated 7.75-8 when I was younger, but I also wasn't fully grown yet. Might be the same for you, can't tell. Now as I said I also specifically search with 8.25s with a bigger wheelbase, otherwise I feel limited. You can also just buy new shit if you don't like it anyways. That's what I did. Got back to skating and gave away my new complete to some kid, because after a week I realized I want to move up sizes. Just bought a new complete no fucks given.

I agree about real but she doesn't fit anti hero anyway. She would never have gone pro for them. I wonder if any woman will ever go pro for anti hero. Not many chicks are core enough to get on that team.
I just read an interview where she said it was grosso who first started getting her boards from anti hero, so maybe when he died there just wasn't a connection with anti hero anymore. They have some system where to go pro for anti hero the whole team has to have a vote and if even one person says no you won't get on. I can't imagine Tony Trujillo saying yes to some chick he barely knows who doesn't fit the brand aesthetic. Tnt definitely doesn't fuck with anything progressive in skateboarding.

Anon how are you this much of a chad not being afraid of rag doll style throwing your body down that 4 stair like that? Could you not land it still? Like just practice doing ollies of a curb. But like actual ollies, don't just drop in. Get hang time, jump properly, get used to doing a smooth one. It's the literal same thing even if it's a 4 stair. Just make sure to actually jump and make it smooth. You look like you're throwing yourself off a 20 stair. Keep your shit straight. Don't lean or you'll eat shit. Leaning means you're secretly scared. You have to trust yourself and keep your shoulders over your board the whole time. Lift up your back foot so it levels out. Land bolts just like you would have doing it off a curb. It's the same thing except you're in the air a bit longer. You really shouldn't be eating shit on a 4 stair ollie.

Pisses me off that they build these parks with no bowls. Like you have a whole city to skate if you wanna go skate street but there is nowhere for bowl enthusiasts to skate other than the parks.
Not to mention that it's significantly cheaper for a city to just slap in a street plaza style skatepark because the labor, design and material costs are so much lower.
Also these new parks with no bowls are breeding a new generation of 'street' skaters who are just total pussies because they have grown up with angle iron ledges and stairs with perfect run ups.

yeah, thats true, but I feel like if Phelps was calling BA a faggot for not wanting to skate bowls, it was probably happening in SF, and TnT seems like he'd be right by phelps laughing about the entire situation before he speeds off and does something wild. although, as someone who used to live in SF, you're definitely going to have to deal with/get used to gays occupying any kind of space you're in, no matter how niche you think it might be for them. at the end of the day its all just speculation, but it's funny to think about these team dynamics. it's always interesting to read/hear about X pro not getting on Y company because Z skater wasn't fucking with them, like Alex Olson trying to get Mango on 917 but Aiden Mackey wasn't having it, very ironic considering he bit his entire shtick.
anyways, Nicoles pro ad is sick, cool ass sketchy hippy jump that definitely gives me more AH vibes over Real vibes, but it is what it is.
>>115770
the rise of the skate park plaza was a disaster for skateboarding desu. it's nice when those kinds of parks do have bowl/transition sections, because you get the best of both worlds, but they're extremely rare. I grew up skating street, legdes/stairs/ditches/gaps and what not, and didn't start skating transition when I went to my first skatepark at 21 years old. always thought it was cool to have that element of something entirely new somewhere else in a designated zone, and having the streets for everything else. kids these days will never have to bondo a crack before a set or make shift kickers to skate an electrical box or whatever the fuck you can do to get creative with street skating, because all of these street league-esque parks are sucking the fun of skating street out of these obstacles.

also forgot to mention, but even when these plaza parks DO have transition like bowls or whatever, they're kind of split away from the rest of the park. and thats fine, because you can just skate the bowl and do your thing, but these kinds of parks have no flow whatsoever. for me, skating a park and learning how to flow throughout the entire place, learning new lines, what I can/can't hit in a single lap around the park without pushing etc. was so much fun, and really made me think about my street skating in a differen way, forcing me to get more creative when i'd do skate some ledges, thinking about how I can string lines together in a flowy transition way compared to just doing a flat ground flip trick > nose slide.
