I changed my set up and in learning kickflips on it I changed my technique a bit. I tried my back foot more like my ollies and they felt much more snappy and poppy. Also delayed my flick a fraction too. Been a long time since I thought about my kickflips but hoping with more control to flip into something sometime soon.

I skate with the little kids at my skatepark all the time. Some are sick and some are annoying. I taught one of them how to frontside grind the bowl and he was starting to get really good but I haven't seen him in a while. Then there is this other little kid who talks constantly and is going down the path of doing street bonelesses and shit instead of actual tricks. I tried to convince him he should try grind the small quarterpipe but he's like nah I don't want to I'm just old school and I'm like lol what?

ive noticed that if i stop to use my phone for more than a few seconds, my brain loses focus on skating. like if im on a roll and trying to film a really good clip, people will be like "look at the clip, is this good?" and ill be like "im sure its fine, just keep recording"

also i try to never make someone record more than like 3 or 4 tries in a row. and when i am filming, i always give back the recording phone after the third time they say "just one more time" lol

I did this at age 30. You feel dumb for a bit, but then you remember you're an adult and shouldn't give a shit what literal children think of you. Good skaters recognise effort first and foremost and you eventually get props and tips, wind up making friends, eventually see another person of your age and level and start skating together.

My main deal is that I just try to stay out of the way. If I can't drop in on something yet, I wait until the ramp is empty to get on top and work up the nuts to commit. Took me forever to get it consistent but now it's second nature and I can slot myself into a session, even though all I really do is pump around the bowl for 2 or 3 laps while the rest are doing actual tricks.

Are you me? I'm 31 tomorrow and have probably been trying kickflips (on and off) for a year now. Transition is friendlier to me though. Biggest drop in I've done so far was 7ish ft.

Just make sure to SLAM your front wheels into the ramp and keep your weight over them until you get to the flat. 2ft is a nice size to start on because you're less likely to really eat shit from that kind of height. Just hold on and keep your knees bent so that you can roll out safely if you bail. Use whatever trick you can to not straighten your legs on the way down and you'll be sailing. Once you stick out the first one it gets WAY easier.

Maybe "copes" isn't the right word exactly, but if it's something that you can't rid yourself of outright you have to live with it and put it in it's place, actively do things that build you up.
It's like how with skating you get people who beat themselves up and say "I'm not confident therefor I can't do X trick" and get the cart before the horse. You BECOME confident by doing X trick, you just build it up piece by piece by expanding out your comfort zone and take that small leap of faith into the new trick or whatnot. People who fly out of vert ramps don't think they're confident either. "I can't do X because I'm depressed", bitch you just try to do X anyway and on the far side of it you'll be less depressed.

Skated burnside this morning. I was only there for like 30 mins. It's too gnarly for me. I have a wedding to go to later in the week up here and I don't want to get hurt so I just rolled around and carved it. I'm staying with a friend and they live near glenhaven which is a super fun park

Anon, you shouldn’t hate someone just because they found Jesus. I found Jesus, and if somebody wants to listen, I’ll tell em. The way I see it is God gives us a choice between him or the world. Maybe I’m wrong, but I kinda feel like we should follow that same idea.
If someone what’s to know, tell them. If somebody doesn’t, then let ‘em be.
In other words, I’m saying that it’s great he found Jesus, but he shouldn’t be telling you over and over and over.

lets not pretend this is exclusive to East Coast skaters and doesn't apply to 90 percent of the skate community at large. it's even more apparent when you're terminally online, watch anything start to blow up even remotely, and have skaters catch onto it towards the tail end of it being obscure/niche and right when it starts to become boring and commercialized. this was like Bronzes entire gimmick when they first dropped

Bro Jesus was the god of the Jews. He was sent by God to save them and he did save some of them but then the rest of them were too evil to be saved and they killed him and kept being Jews.

European men don't need to worship Jesus because he was never our God in the first place.

He'll probably say "muh old gods", but not know anything about pre-Christian spiritual practice in Europe. In short, there were lots of them but outside of the Roman sate religion or specific Greek islands, central and northern Europe had lots of different gods with folk practices that varied widely from town to town, with no central authority, holy book, or most markers of what we consider "religion" today. Even the larger, more focused ones from the Neolithic period seemed nebulous and short lived, even if they had large structures built for some sort of related tradition. And even then, we just don't know the details so any claim as to what they were or weren't is highly speculative and based on archaeology instead of written history.

He just came off like an asshole. He’s a good dude and I don’t mind skating with him but I avoid long conversations because he’s really up his own ass about it and his friends refuse to check him about it.

It just goes back to the main point, if you’re not at the skatepark to skate then leave me alone. I’m here to challenge myself and relax not get into some intellectual debate.

European men worshipped whoever was the king at the time because he was the link to the gods, all of which were based on extremely ancient and enduring archetypes. Themes of nature worship were prevalent. The other guy is right that most modern ideas of European paganism were relatively short lived although they were all still based on the same archetypes.

The Jews needed Jesus because they were/are wicked and needed to be saved but instead they just became more wicked and they killed him. Now look at them, they all live in their own personal hell where their religion is basically just 'its not Christianity' and they are all dysgenic and hated by everyone in the world. Dumb fuckers were given a chance and they BLEW it.

yea for me heelflip felt way more natural at first as well but some people it's the opposite. Try a more exaggerated foot placement with the kickflip, like I kinda feel like I'm standing on my board diagonally rather than straight on. If your feet are in the right place you can almost just do a normal ollie motion and the board will flip

You guys think it's lame wearing skate brand clothing if you don't skate anymore? I really wish I could but my body is so destroyed by injuries it literally cannot keep up.

If I don't technically skate then what makes me different from any of those thrasher wearing college campus cruiserfaggots? In everyone else's eyes I'm the same type of person. If a skater wants to test me and ask me to do a kickflip I'll either eat shit most likely or say something about muh knee or hamstring or back like I'm making excuses up.

I think what's happening there is that you're doing that dumb tip everyone says in that you're dragging the side of your foot from behind the bolts towards the nose....but all of that contact with the grip is just catching and your board is flying forward before you can even reach the nose.

IMO, and what works for me, it's better to think of it as flicking the heelside pocket of the nose with the very tip of your shoe. This involves flicking your ankle a bit, which feels weird or weak at first but gets stronger over time. You don't need to make contact with any other part of the board if you flick that point.

It's not just Braille that gives that tip. I've seen a dozen tutorials that have people "practice" by just standing still with the tail down and grinding their shoe down over and over because it "helps" somehow. Yet look at ANY slow mo clip of someone landing a kickflip and their shoe only makes contact with the nose pocket when they kick (maybe very lightly skimming the rest of the board every now and then).

Coming from a traditional slav Christian family and learning there are more religions and spiritual teachings then just; Jesus, Islam, Jahve - the western Gods; it really depends on the person on how; if at all hes gonna spread his religious teachings.

yea youre right, honestly Ive stopped binging skate help/tips and tricks videos and just watch 1 or 2 before trying out a new trick, it really is pointless after the first cause you will only ever learn by practicing. Also yea watching how pros do any trick in slow-mo and focusing on their legs, shoulders and hips always helps me, but visual learning is my thing tho... eh, kinda sad 80% of skate content on youtube is just that; mindless tricks and tips videos for posers/consoomers or complete novices...

Yeah, that makes sense I suppose.
Speaking of skating, My friends hit me up yesterday and wanted to go to the skate park. They haven’t skated since they were kids. Long story short I made a friend named Rod and the funny thing is my name’s Rodney. And yeah, I prayed for God to send me friends skate with. So that was pretty awesome considering I never leave my house. Haha
I’ve been skating for the past year. Usually just never leaving my porch or the concrete pad that I park on. And I can confidently say that I probably got further yesterday than I have the entire year of skating on my porch. AND I made a friend.

Anonymous No. 118507

The problem I notice when seeing people trying to learn to kickflip isn't that "their sliding their foot too far up the board" or whatever, it's that they aren't flicking fast enough. Once you master kickflips it becomes clear that it doesn't really matter where you put your front foot as long as you've got a speedy flick, you can kickflip. It's good to learn to kickflip with your foot close to the nose and with your foot more in the center because both are useful for future tricks. Closer to the nose for quickly flicking into grinds and slides and further back for kickflipping higher. Same goes for tre flips.

non just buy hand/palm guards if your nervious. Learn to fall and learn to break the fall with your hands. also saves your ass when falling at a good speed when you are outside. head injuries get very serious when you start doing stairs

Just so some calf raises.
When I fucked my ankle my calf got weak. I'd do 20 raises on a little step into my kitchen when making my coffee, lunch, dinner etc.
Or look up some yoga on YouTube. One legged stances etc helps build all round leg strength. Found my pop was better when I came back after all the exercises.

How long do you guys skate? 30 yr old boomer here and a 3 hr sesh destroys me now. Kinda rough cause I'm in decent shape. Anyone do anything for recovery?

Re: Kickflips I slide my foot up like an Ollie then flick to the side. The first 50% I'd say is just an Ollie but then I flick where I just kick the pocket before the nose (not the nose). Only difference at the start to the Ollie is I hang my front foot to the side so the outside ball of my foot is just inside the rail. The flicks a bit delayed so it's pop first then kick.
However every time I try explain this to people I start over thinking them and feel like I need to relearn without thinking. So I'm probably missing something..

These guys are just BARELY scraping the space behind the nose. All these kickflip tutorials tell you to really DRAG your shoe along the length of the board before reaching the nose and flicking. They'll have you stand there and wreck the entire side of your shoe for minutes at a time, then when it comes to actually doing the trick, you wind up getting too much purchase too far back on the board and just wind up kicking it away from you without flipping it. And it's made worse by fresh griptape.
The target should be the heelside of the nose. You'll wind up LIGHTLY grazing along the rest of the board as you bring your foot to that target.

Usually you can put something together from old parts people aren't using that's going to be better than a Walmart board.

Anonymous No. 118965

Alright, so I've been pushing regular for long enough now that it feels as natural if not more natural than mongo, and here's some shit I've noticed.

Bullshit:
>you can't thrown down into mongo
You totally can. You can do it with either hand too. Just as fast too wit ha little practice.
>you can't turn mid push
Literally the same as regular
>it's more unbalanced/your nose wants to turn when it hits things
Only if you're so far back on the tail that your heel is reaching past the bolts, which is a stupid way to stand that no one does and is equivalent to standing on the nose. You keep your foot much closer to the centre and it's balanced just fine
>it looks dumb
yeahwellthatsjustlikeyouropinionman.jpg

True facts
>setting up for pops takes a moment longer
Totally true and probably the only significant, inescapable disadvantage of mongo. HOWEVER it makes setting up for nollie and nose tricks just as fast
>it makes pushing in either stance much easier
Getting used to using both legs is super handy and usually saves me from bumping against a wall or having a weak push if I'm skating on something narrow. Same for switch pushing
>it gives you "bad" habits for how you turn you body
Have been noticing the more recently. Because of how you have to pivot your back foot, it normally leaves my toe hanging over the edge. Likewise, getting used to opening your shoulders that way gave me a habit that makes some tricks harder to catch. It does make FS ollies easier though. Also it seems to make any sort of no comply type trick where you pressure pop the board much easier.

I literally think people have been saying "mongo is bad" mostly out of parroting other people's opinions, and because the typical set of tricks people learn first doesn't gel too well with mongo or will give you habits that you don't see in tutorials. Otherwise, being able to push both ways is super fucking handy.

Had one the other day where I was barefoot skating on one of those old 70's yellow bannana things (pic related), but suddenly everything made so much sense, my balance was flawless and I was powersliding around and carving like a god. Firecrackered down a set of stairs and felt like I could have done it forever my balance was so on point. Remember thinking that I couldn't wait to get on my actual deck cause these skills would be totally transferable and then I could whatever I wanted and get to look really cool.

Triple 8, or 18 Killer Pads. Don't even bother with anything else. You can often find them on sale, but they're usually a little more expensive. They're a world apart in quality from whatever else you see out there and, honestly, the only two brands worth a damn. Usually the cheaper shit is awfully made and degrades or breaks super fast, doesn't fit very well/will basically just be a cap that will slip off if you actually fall on them and not protect shit, and will be just as if not more uncomfortable to wear.

The Sweatsaver Triple 8 helmet is great too. It comes with extra padding options so you can go up/down a size and is as well made as a skate helmet can be.
