I'm 30, I had tried skateboarding a few years back but my buddy left the city and I gave up, how could I get back into it on my own?
How do I get good fast at it? I live in a big city (Barcelona), I don't mind a few scratches. Any advice is welcomed.

Just practice every day.

Also practice all of your pivots and rolling around fakie because they'll teach you how to balance pretty damn fast.

when i was 12 I could make a board last for months, in fact, I've been skating the same board since spring but granted I haven't been skating as much as I like I think if board supply became really scarce then people would stop doing shit that could easily break them outside of normal wear and tear, might see a shift from skating rails and stairs to more low impact skating

You just use a hair dryer to melt the glue, run a bluntish knife or similar under the initial gap and pull it off. Hopefully you have good grip because the cheaper stuff can tear into shreds and leave bits of glue behind. Mob seems to come off super cleanly.

Replacing coping, filling in cracks, replacing missing tiles, resurfacing if you live somewhere with actual weather. One of my locals has a bowl that has the most fucked coping in the world at multiple spots (among lots of other things) but the council won't replace it so you just have to not grind it at certain spots.

most stuff can be done for cheap if you know what you are doing. filling cracks costs nothing. replacing tiles the same. pool coping can be rub bricked or ground down with a grinder to become skateable again and then just reattached to the concrete if it comes loose.

i'm 6'1, about 185lbs and i wear an XL. i'm not fat but i have decently muscular legs. what i mean to say is that if you're an adult male you should probably be getting at least a large.

those pads are great to wear with shorts but with pants they kind of suck because you have to slide them up from your foot. if you hate wearing shorts then you can get the more expensive ones that work better with pants:

ambition is literally 2 guys in garage.
pressing and shaping boards is not such a highly industrialized activity that it can't be done at a low level and it is hard to imagine such an all encompassing imminent doomsday scenario that would cause the complete cessation of the manufacture of glue and... lumber.
urethane and aluminum are a little more sophisticated but again, if we're experiencing such a thorough supply chain breakdown that neither can be produced then it will border on civilizational collapse.

as far as (((the industry))) goes, yeah there is a lot of bullshit being propped up by fake money right now which could basically turn off overnight, that shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. what would be really interesting is to see how many ''''indie''' brands fold if one of the corporate shoe brands axes their skating division. that would certainly lend a lot of credit to the carroll conspiracy

>mc: [Laughs] I think they’re gnarly enough to think like that because, I forget who was telling me, but they worked at one of those big shoe companies, and they have their 5 year plan meetings and there is a part of that to figure out who to take out. What’s their “strategy”. Like “How are we going to fuckin’ get this company out of our way?” And they just focus in on specific companies, it’s so gnarly dude.

the indirect conspiracy would be that these big companies came in and washed a bunch of people with fuckloads of endless money which artificially distorted the industry and basically turned having a board sponsor into a loss leader for the biggest pros which is why all of a sudden every guy with a nike shoe has their own board brand too for no reason.... which in turn makes everyone dependent on the checks from these massive companies because that's the only thing keeping the lights on. whether that was serendipitous or intentional hardly even matters.

i genuinely don't believe you have done anything aside from cruising down the street and practicing heelflips if this is what you think. if you skate hard you are going to hit your head at some point, no matter how much you have tried to learn to not hit your head. whether you think wearing a helmet is worth it or not is irrelevant, that's a personal choice.

and you've never tried to skate any transition in your life so clearly you wouldn't know how helpful kneepads can be. just stick to fucking flat ground tricks you faggot poser.

I think the tail is too short and steep, and the board is too long. I don't know exactly because just looking at it it doesn't look extreme but it felt big and it was hard to pop. This was the 8.5 I don't know if the other shapes are similar, I like the brand but I can't get myself to try another one.

Not him but I normally skate with elbows and wrists only because I land on them more often than anything else....but I've started grabbing my board recently and the fucking wrist guards make it way harder and often wind up injuring my thumb from how the board will slam into it.

Anonymous No. 119457

Just realized my crooked ollies are because I was looking in the direction I was moving which made my shoulders turn. I can land them and roll away moving when I look straight, but it is awkward because I can't see where I'm going as well. I'm just glad it's improving slowly.

probably the nicest thing about 7.75 is that you can throw big wheels on it and still never feel like you're fighting for your tricks. also you will almost never primo. imo the biggest potential downside is that 7.75's tend to run shorter and have smaller wheelbases and you will just generally have less range of options when riding a niche size. 5boro makes a 32 inch 7.75 that i've found to be pretty much perfect for what i want out of a board

yeah i would hazard a guess that most seasoned skaters (still not including me) could do a jam if it were at like a 45 degree angle. sadly personally i would need to halve that angle once more to have a chance.

I agree it's pretty cringe right now. And I think without the focus on print magazines the industry doesn't really know where to go, like with everything just online it's really easy to forget about certain skaters or just never hear of them, especially when Instagram tailors their algorithm to suit you personally. Like you used to be able to read thrasher/transworld and get an overarching view of the skate world in that month that would expose you to all different types of skaters so you could be up to date with the tech world as well as the hesh world. Now you're just exposed to whatever the Instagram/YouTube algorithm exposes you to.

bro if you can do a back 50-50 and a back disaster in tranny you can definite do a small back smith, you just gotta put some work into it and get over the mental block of back smith being a difficult trick. start with backside slash grinds because it is a similar movement where you powerslide your back wheels into the coping. then do back smith stalls and then once you can get them just go fast and do the same thing and you'll grind.

I pretty much always buy Polar. very "average" board in terms of measurements, concave, fullness of nose/tail, steepness of kicks, etc, which I like. and the BBS wood is nice.

I would buy Quasi 100% of the time because I like their team (and live in Ohio), but I can't deal with the PS wood.

I would also like to try FA/Hockey but it seems impossible to find their stuff on sale, since they are more selective about retailers I guess. I can always find a Polar on sale from SkateWarehouse or one of the other bigger online retailers.

Yup. Wait until you shoulder block into something and sprain one of your collar tendons.
But you'll learn how to fall properly with time. People think pads protect your from shit 100%, but in reality they mostly just stop broken knees and elbows and concussions. Wrist guards will stop you from breaking your wrist outright, but you can still get nasty impacts from them that will rattle you and leave your wrist weak for a while. They really only stop the absolute worst case scenario, but you're still going to eat shit.

If you wear kneepads you can bail to your knees in tranny like 90% of the time which means you don't have to try to run out of a bail in a 10ft bowl and brake your ankle. Kneepads aren't about just protecting your knees from a slam, they allow you to bail safely without risk of really fucking your shit up. Fuck. I don't get what part of this you guys don't understand and why someone in this thread keeps saying that pads don't do anything.

Now I’m not trying to be salty. Later on I even ask em a few questions and he gives me some tips.
Later friends express how they think he’s cool, and I find out they even smoked weed with him.

It's not too late for you. Re-read your post slowly, engage in a little self-reflection, and realize that you are socially stunted to a moderate extent. Social media is not reality, the internet is not reality, and our devices are not reality; skating with peers, talking and shooting the shit, and forging meaningful connections over time is what life and friendships are all about.
Pressing some buttons on Snapagram is not a substitute for forming a real bond with another person.
