I think trucks and decks are basically as good as they'll get at this point. I like that at the moment it's easy to find a variety of different shaped and sized decks.
Wheels could possibly get better, like someone could always just invent the perfect wheel that slides when you want, grips when you want and never flatspots.
And shoes could obviously get better. Like a shoe that always has good grip and the sole never wears away.

Just checked out my local for the first time in years. It's one of those prefab metal deals but I see they've added some nice stuff. The mini ramp though goddamn. It's a way too steep and there's not enough deck in the middle. It's slick as ice and it looks like you could be eviscerated if you slid along the gouges in the surface. Ah well I think I need to practice riding switch to tackle this bitch.

These parks are always fucked up for some reason. I have nothing against prefab but theyā€™ll usually just slap them down and not pay attention to how cracked/messed up the ground is.

There used to be the best fucking metal mini ramp in the world at Waterloo skatepark in Sydney, Australia. Wonder if anyone in this thread will remember it, don't think there are many Australians in here. It was like 4ft, everything about it was perfect. I learnt so many tricks on that thing. I don't actually know if it's still there, I think that removed it and built a concrete one. I haven't been back there in like a decade.

I'd like to imagine Lil B re-popularized them with his Vans song and thats when prices shot back up again, and they never really fell out of popularity after that again.

maybe not "poser shoes" but they were definitely putting out shoes that were not very high quality and looked like pieces of dogshit. probably like pre baker 3, the weird transitional phase from 98-05. It wasn't until the TNT 2s came out and Rowley was doing well with his newer models that Vans kind of came back into the swing of things, and even at that point in time, despite the look of their shoes being a hit, the quality was insanely garbage, and actual skate brands kind of had a stranglehold on the market (considering they were actually putting out full length videos in an era where it still mattered). the fact Vans constantly has to introduce a "pro" like or a "skate" line for their models and are always talking about upgrading the quality of their shoes because people have had bad experiences is something that has been going on for years.

They used to be fairly standard until dedicated skate shoes were a thing, but you'll want older, thinner soled basketball shoes, and you'll probably want to avoid doing flip tricks if you want them to stay in one piece for more than a month.

Nah. It's like saying "cheer up" to someone who's sad, rather than saying something like "you should check out this really nice like I like to hang out at, it's really nice and I love the sunsets there". Obviously there's some level of "just committing" to landing a trick, but 90% of that is building up the confidence by tweaking what you're doing and practicing something related so that you feel comfortable putting your foot down. Even if you have the broadstrokes and the board is flipping correctly or whatever, sometimes "pussying out" is you throwing your body into some awkward angle where trying to land it will be super sketchy, take more effort and might send you on your ass. It equally might not either, but if someone can't get over the fear, then I find it's much better to go and do something related that you're already comfortable with that will build their confidence. Like if someone is struggling to "just committing" to dropping in on something, it's much better to pump up the thing or bomb around on a similar ramp they're more comfortable with first so that that window of uncertainty is smaller and less scary.

Plus it's usually coming from bad skate tutorials/guys at the park that don't know how to articulate what they're actually doing. You can see it in tutorials all the time; some pro skater will start off describing that trick they do, get frustrated mid way through because they don't think about it intellectually, and say something like "eh, you just whack your tail in, like, bam, like, swuch, and you just commit. Just do it a couple of times, experiment, and you'll get it. Everybody is different so, idk, just figure it out and commit". Just a pointless thing to say.

Lmao skate tutorials from pro guys are so bad. You're much better off asking regular dudes at the park for advice. Pro skaters are just so far beyond our level that they don't even remember what it was like trying to land that first kickflip or feeble grind or whatever.

If I'm having trouble committing the best thing for me to do is to go and try the trick on a smaller similar obstacle first and then before I can even think about how different the actual obstacle is I just try it with the feeling of making it on the smaller obstacle fresh in my brain.

I tell this to kids trying to learn to drop in on bigger ramps all the time. I say 'go land it on that 3ft ramp, and then as soon as you land it just get back up here, smack your tail down and drop in without even thinking about how big it is.' feels good watching how lit up the kids get when they land it.

i spend so much time half-ass flipping these, this is a 100% commit trick like you either die landing primo or shoot out in any direction, not for the faint heart but seems like when people figure it out and get them on lock the mental battle goes away

I said that because it's something Lance himself says, and because by the time the videos were coming out he was "aging out" and being left behind skill wise by the rest of the Bones Brigade. He was cursed to be on the same team as Hawk and Mullen, but rather than try and push himself as being the guy with the biggest airs or the most amazing tricks, he filmed himself goofing around and having fun with his board, which actually might have gotten more people to try skating that the rest of the team's insane clips did. Being pro isn't just about being the literal greatest at your field. If anything, the more relatable you are, the better.

I thought the last minute or so was getting interesting, but yeah, what's going on with her? Is that megramp injury catching up on her or something? She was the weakest part by far of the Vert Alert demo recently too, bailing out of handplants. I don't think she actually made more than 2 walls there. She seems to be playing everything SUPER safe unless she's skating with Sakura, and I don't know if that's physical injury or just the psychological damage that fall did.

Also, just to be clear, I'm absolutely not talking any shit about Lance and don't think he's one of the GOATs. Just that there was a stretch of time where he wasn't the best on his team and was liked more for other reasons.

if you ride a mid to big board you can do them reynolds/chris cole style where you put your back foot in the pocket and do it kind of like a pressure flip that you also kickflip... if that makes any sense.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQH4r035NIw
when i ride my snowskate (8.75) doing them that way makes them whip around really tightly and makes doing things like fs flip fakie manny/switch manny and hardflip manuals feel incredibly consistent.
if you ride a smaller board (8 to sub-8) that kind of backfoot position isn't very stable so just keep your full foot more on the tail and muscle them around. you can preload your shoulders too but i find as you get comfortable flipping frontside you will have a tendency to over rotate when you do that, but it is useful for kickflip fs 360s.

i hope that makes some degree of sense

Nearby Lancaster has 2 good bowls. There's another skatepark in the east side of Palmdale that's mainly transition but not really a bowl in that one. I'll probably be at the Lancaster park this weekend though. But if anyone wants to plan something out and it's in the morning, I'm down. If you guys wanna drive here I would say east Palmdale because it's more universal and we wouldn't be split between bowl and street

Keep in mind, my bearings are all steal. I take dish soap, get some water in there, spin it around a bunch of times, rinse it off super good, then take a blow dryer and spin em while drying. Then 2-3 drops of oil.
For normal bearings; soak them in either windex or whatever solvent you use for 35-40 minutes. Shake em around every so often. Then wash em off, blast em with a blow dryer, then 2-3 drops of oil.
Also get some bearing oil. Personally I use Oust oil. Itā€™s thinner than Bones Speed Cream, and basically the same price. Also, you want thinner oil.

Also I consoomed and bought one of those Bones cleaning bottle things and it's actually pretty damn handy. Some cleaning alcohol, caps off the bearings, put them open side up on the shaft, a good shake, then leave them to dry on a paper towel and they're squeaky clean.

like if you come at a ramp diagonally frontside, but then at the top you instead do a backside 270 degree turn to come back down the ramp in regular stance... that's an alley oop. it can be done backside or frontside and there are all kinds of tricks it can be applied to... alley oop inverts, alley oop airs, alley oop cess slides, alley oop grinds etc

I'm in a similar stage to you. You have to figure out where to look the get your back foot on first. For me, if I look sort towards the centre of the deck but slightly toeside, it's much easier to bring my back foot straight up and straight back down where the tail will be. Try to aim for the tail to begin with. You'll probably do a rocketed flip and land with the tail down, but it's a decent start.

I can ollie over a deck on flat and more than waist high with a kicker. My ollies are fine. My struggle is getting my back foot out of the way for the flip and back on comfortably/not just with my heel.

Lmao. Read it again. You NEED to get DECENT ollies first. You can ollie a deck on flat lmao, but without a skateboard how many can you jump over? Like 7? Until you learn how to properly jump with your skateboard (ollie) you'll be wondering why you can't land kickflips. You don't have a smooth effortless ollie yet. You're doing some autistic twitchy stiff leg kickflips and you're relying on your dawg mentality to land them. And that's fine, but if you have to ask why you're not landing them consistently, it's because your ollies are terrible. Once you get good ollies you'll start understanding what I'm talking about.

If it is getting stuck on your back foot you probably have it too far toe side. The ball of your foot should be in the heel side pocket of your tail, or if you can't manage that at least in the very center.

You're incorrectly assuming that my ollies aren't consistent and, sorry man, but if having a consistent ollie that high isn't "decent" enough for a kickflip, then I don't know what the fuck is. I'm rolling away from them fine. I have the pop and the height, the thing that wigs me out with kickflips is that my back foot needs to come completely off and back on, where with my ollies it can just hover above them a few cm. I usually catch them heel heavy because I'm freaking out and half putting my foot down. Not everyone gets them easily.

Anonymous No. 117528

If you're having back foot issues with kickflips it's because your ollies are still bad and you don't have the habit of lifting your back foot. Practice your ollies more or just keep grinding kickflips until you build the muscle memory and strength.

the entire reason this dude is telling you that you need to have your ollies on lock to solve your kickflip problem is because an ollie and a kickflip are just natural extensions of each other, the only thing you're really doing different from an ollie is moving your ankle off to the side instead of keeping it up on the board. you shouldn't have to be worried about "putting your back foot down". because if you had your ollies as good as you say you do, the board itself would be floating up to your back foot naturally without any kind of issues, just like it does with an ollie, you're just lifting your leg up as you kickflip and the board will rise up with you and lock onto your back foot IF you're doing kick flips the proper way, where it is simply an extension of your ollie. you might think your ollies are fine and consistent, but if you don't even realize this little tip im telling you, you don't know enough about your ollies at all and should probably expand on them a little bit before you start getting offended people are rightfully calling them bad.

A morning sesh during the weekend would be fine desu, and even if it did end up getting a bit busy, the park itself is so huge that you can avoid people by just skating something else. Honestly one of my favorites in the area. I moved as soon as they started opening the new parks in the AV, kind of sucks but itā€™s nice to see them and the kind of skating it breeds.

Buy a half-inch thick solid oak board. Cut it to 27ā€ long and about 7ā€ wide, shape as necessary. If you want a kicktail, cut a wedge and glue it onto the top of the tail. Buy some old rollerskates off ebay and use their hangars on your truck kingpins, or use Penny trucks. get a round puck of Ā¾ā€ thick plastic and screw it to the underside of the tail (slider to protect the wood). As for wheels, your choices are Kryptonics Star Trac (wheels in that pic), Tunnel Rocks, OJ Hot Juice, Sims Snakes, or Sims Street Comps. Historically, the duro wouldā€™ve been around 85-93, but most modern repro 70s wheels are in the high 70s-low 80s duro.

i just can't stand how when you watch chicks skate tranny all their tricks are like so... weak. like their grinds are half as long and they never pop out of them, they just fall out of them. every trick just looks like it's the first one they've ever landed and they're scared to be aggressive with it.

Your level of skating is so far below the point where you should be giving anyone advice

but I agree for the most part girls really don't have that explosive pop or aggression like the average dude

that part really sucked and definitely didn't make me think there are chicks who aren't weak

Saw a guy give a fucking awful "lesson" to a little kid today.

>kid can barely push. Isn't comfortable enough to swap stances yet. First thing I see him do is try to show the kid how to kickturn on flat, he can't even do a quarter rotation yet. Obviously very early days for him.
>guy has him going down steep banks and trying to frontside carve a sharp corner. Eats shit on the first one because he doesn't know how to stop and clips the fence. Kid can't do the full carve. Has him try twice then stop
>tries to get him to do one of those rail-to-regular flip things. Can't do it so he stops him
>next he tries to get him to ride off a curb high ledge. There's not even a half a board length run up to the drop. Doesn't tell the kid you need to manual off curbs; goes nose first, falls off. Guy stops him after one attempt

This "teacher" had a rack of kids skateboards with him and a tshirt with his logo on it, yet I didn't see him teach thay kid a single thing or even encourage him to keep trying something more than once. Thank Christ there are some actual good instructors who regular that park.
