one time i was at my local with my gf who had just started skating at the time and she was just like rolling up and down some small ramps in the corner of the park, just feeling it out and having fun learning the basics. in full pads and helmet so she looked pretty goofy. some of the limosine team showed up and there were these two guys with them who you see in like all the vids but i think they are photographers/filmers or something. both like mid 30s, one bald and one looked half black or something. anyway they started like skating the same area she was skating and basically just snaking the shit out of her and they'd like carve under her when she was doing these super slow beginner kickturns on ramps and shit. just the kinda shit that massively throws you off when you're trying to skate a spot. so i'm on the other side of the park hanging with one of my boys and after like 10 mins of these guys doing this shit she's looking at me all distressed and i'm like oh fuck here we go because my gf is a bit of a loose cannon and she says something to them like 'can you guys fuck off and let me skate?' and they're kinda like laughing at her or some shit so she says some more shit. i skate over to kinda cool down the situation and these guys straight away stop laughing and i kinda skated up to one guy and was like 'what's going on?' sort of staunching him coz i got my girl's back and he gets all guarded and is like 'we weren't even doing anything, we were just skating around dude', fucking playing dumb when i'd just watched him do that snaking shit to my gf for like 10 mins. anyway i definitely wasn't going to fight anyone but in retrospect i might have came off more aggressive than intended. i kinda just ignored the dude and was just like 'come sit with me' to my gf and we went and skated some other part of the park together.

then like an hour later i was chilling and the guy like skates up to me and is like 'yo we weren't trying to fuck with your girl dude, we were just skating... we're not like that dude, we wouldn't fuck with someone like that' and i was pretty chill and was just like 'yeah she's just nervous because she just started skating' and it was all chill i guess but man like... he didn't even come to talk to my gf, he came to talk to me instead when it was my gf who deserved the apology. and they might not have been intentionally fucking with my gf but they were definitely like being extremely rude to someone else that was already skating an obstacle at a park that they had just rolled up to, and it's not like there wasn't other obstacles they could have skated.

so long story short those people involved with limosine are pretty wack. definitely left a bad taste in my mouth about that company

that's annoying as fuck i hate when noobs take up space in the middle of the park, go suck in your driveway on an xfactor ramp like everyone else. no one wants to spend time in the trenches anymore, this participation trophy culture bullshit is fucking up the vibes at the park. i quarantined myself in a tennis court by the skatepark until i relearned some flat tricks, can't imagine having the audacity to take up valuable real state at the park doing baby kick turns when people are actually trying to skate. have some fucking shame and tough it out during early morning seshes when no one is there and git gud.

I’m all for making beginners feel like they have a place at the park or whatever but you can’t find a small hill or incline she can practice on? I think at a certain point it just becomes dangerous for everyone involved when noobs try to navigate the park but don’t understand basic etiquette which is more likely than the limosine dudes purposely snaking her, that’s a level of douchebaggery I don’t witness often and it’s usually the other way around of beginners getting in the way

Do any of you have a friend who sometimes skates with you and the homies that's a total drag to skate with?

>shows up to the weekly sesh

>NEVER pushes themselves
>will try a trick less than 10 times before giving up and doing something else for a few minutes before just sitting down again
>will do something you've seen them do before like dropping in, but either legitimately or pretends to forget how to do it so it becomes a big drama yet again and you have to wait 10 fucking minutes for your go

>isn't chill though, is often complaining "why can't I do this? They're really good. It's so hard >:( "

I generally like them but they're such a fucking drag to skate with. It's fine if you're not good at skating because you're not naturally gifted or ready to put the hard hours in, but Jesus Christ don't fucking go on about it. If anything I appreciate the people who suck ass but make the effort because you get to see some determination and balls, but this is the opposite of that.

Yep have skated with plenty of beginners like that after I picked up skating again hell I even use to be that person with my friends when I got back in to it but luckily they were patient with me and super encouraging, they are better people than me because I only tolerate so much whining before I stop caring and let them wallow in their own pity. I rather skate alone that deal with a vibe terrorist and that’s exactly what I do now. Just skate, do my own thing and hope to run into other people skating and go from there, rarely do I plan to have a sesh with someone else anymore

I feel you and have similar surroundings. Often see beginners and give them space because there is plenty. However I'm interested to see how you'd interpret a situation that I've had. Pretty similar senario with a guy and his gf, me and a friend. I was trying a trick on the Manny pad and using the bank she was using to turn around. I stuck to the far endge and cruised by, I was trying manuals not hauling ass. I just wanted my trick but kind of completely ignored them even though I skated right by them. Nothing happened but idk looking back I thought of that senario reading your story.
>>120536
I knew a guy who would only try tricks he would never ever do and commit 5% to them. Give a few attempts, act like he's almost got it then give up and chill. It didn't really bother me, I assumed he was a bit self conscious about his level so I didn't want to make that worse. Nice guy and would hype your tricks so all good imo.

Believe me I try, but they will try something a handful of times and not enough to learn, then stop and sit down. Have had some success on some basic tricks, but the larger issue is that they simply don't skate enough to be comfortable on their board and there's not really many tips you can give about just pushing and riding around before they need to just do it over and over.


>>120619
Focus on the tail pop then. Forget about even doing anything with your front foot aside from lifting it up and putting it down. A decent enough pop and getting your leg up will get you up curbs without the need to really level the nose out.
Likewise, as that anon said, bowl is great cardio. As is just riding around in general. You get double duty of increasing your fitness and getting more comfortable on your board. There's lots of fun to be had on your board without ollies. Skaters didn't even have them until the mid 80s.

I tell everyone it's just timing. It's basically pop, drag, lift back leg. All in one motion that sort of flows. You got to practice it til it feels right. Different leg length, board set up, body weight etc will make your timing a little different to mine. Also mix it up, try pop some as high as possible, others baby pops under control, others just comfy mid range. Helps progress to going up stuff, over hips, into banks etc. Learn more board control.
As for fitness, get /fit/ fatty. C'mon now, why waste your potential.

It's pretty pointless to post clips in here desu. No one in this thread seems like they are particularly good (myself included) but if you do post OC to back up a strong opinion people will always find some shit to say even if it's something dumb like 'you're wearing shorts'. Idk why people have so much vitriol in here. Like posters like this guy >>120707
obviously shouldn't even be here and I'm pretty sure he's also the heelflip guy so take from that what you will I guess.

Anyway in regards to tricks where your hands/feet touch the ground I generally agree that in terms of street skating it's pretty hard to make those tricks look good, and no complies are not an exception. The no-comply trend like 5-10 years ago was awful and no one made them look good. Transition is totally different though and they can all look sick, especially handplants. Laybacks are like a weird forgotten trick that no one ever does anymore but I think when done correctly they're probably one of the most stylish tricks ever.

I tried to learn some of those laybacks last night and I landed a few but it's hard to not over-rotate. I flatspotted my f4s trying them.

They're not really aggressive enough in pure street skating to fit in with flip tricks, but they're useful in-between type things that let you get into fakie/switch with a little bit of flare.
But idk, I just like a lot of old school shit in general. They're much harder to make look good, or rather, you can learn them pretty fast but trying to do them with decent speed and flow seems to take years. They're just fun though and it's nice to be able to learn a trick in a single session when you're struggling with some techy flip trick for weeks or months on end.

Another boring story:
Local to me, there is a children's playground with a small skatepark attached (2 small/medium-sized bowls, that's it); the skatepark is popular with teens and adults. I went there with a couple of friends, and these shit-kicking little blonde rugrats--maybe 4-9 years old--were entering the bowl one at a time...non-stop and with little to no regard for others. We tried to form a line, get them to take turns, but it was to no avail. Eventually I got tired of all their fucking around and started just dropping in on the other side and taking a lap while avoiding their stupid antics. Nothing crazy, we're all just cruising and having fun.
Next thing I know, this overgrown oaf of skate dad saunters right up to my face and postures aggressively while reprimanding me for "cutting through" while his kids were skating. The fucking irony, right? It was clear that he had some anger issues or an insecurity complex of some sort. I was about two seconds away from socking him square in the jaw...but his kids were literally right there, and I thought that they shouldn't have to see that, even though they were annoying the everloving shit out of everyone there. I just let it slide, then they left, and then we left.

Moral of the story? Teach your skate kids some fucking etiquette and keep your goddamn mouth shut, otherwise someone not as nice as me will shut it for you.

Anyone have good advice for front shuvs? I can do them out of grinds because my wheel locks to the coping and the board rotates on that. I want to learn to hardflip but that motion makes no sense. I get closer to fakie hardflips.

You're probably standing with your shoulders parallel to the board. Instead, look forward, open your shoulders a bit. If it's going behind you, then jump backwards so you land on the board. When you get good at it you won't have to jump backwards because it'll stay underneath you. Hope this helps

the best thing is to practice them on a carpet b/c that will force you to pop them properly w/ no slide.
all fs shuv & flip variations (and also front 3s kind of) are all about finding the right pressure point with your back foot. all these tricks are pressure flips, once you can visualize them that way they become pretty natural. you'll know you are hitting that pressure point when the board comes right up to your feet without drifting away.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQH4r035NIw
this kind of back foot position is what you're aiming for for all fs tricks on mid to wide boards (8.5+)

[spoiler]i think of the motion as an anti scoop, but everyone i tell that to never knows what the fuck i'm talking about. but if you can find the anti scoop, you will be a hardflipper for life [/spoiler]

I feel bad for those kids. Hover parents sucking all the fun out of skating. There's this one little Japanese girl, maybe 7 years old at most, who fucking shreds the bowl and doesn't afraid of anything. For the most part she seems to really love it, but her mother is always there trying to push her further and further. "Do frontside now! Pump harder moto moto! You need to go faster" etc. She's not TOO hard on her, but there's definitely times where the kid is just fucking tired and, idk, I couldn't see myself sticking with skateboarding as an adult if half of my sessions were like that.

Plus, idk, she's probably just too small to make much progress right now. I asked the mother before and she said she doesn't skate (which is nuts because she knows the names of everything) so I wonder if she even realises there's a size/weight threshold for big transition.

This is why you don't jump down stairs and handrails, dum dum. Stairs and handrails were always dumb, they're objectively the easiest thing to skate, they just fuck you up if you get it wrong. IMO stairs and handrails are for people with no pop or tech skills and low IQ enough to not see a problem in flinging themselves off a cliff to eat shit 435 times until they finally roll away.

IMO hardflips and fs shuvs feel nothing alike. So tired of trick tips pretending like "oh, just learn a kickflip, then learn a shuv it, botta bing botta boom". Like, they must know that's not true, why are they lying like that?

The thing about hardflips is they feel unlike pretty much any other conventional flip trick. There's really no flick, if anything, you kind of just "dead foot" your front foot slightly off center and let the board pop into it, which will naturally put it into the right twist. The easiest way is to just let your back foot rest on the ground and try to get it to work in "slow motion" and then you slowly get faster and faster and get to where it can be done fast enough to actually jump during the pop and land in time. Just don't overthink it, hardflips are actually really easy and way less precise than even a kickflip. There's a reason why people that hardflip seem to do it all the time, it's probably the easiest flip trick to blast down stairs, etc. and looks good because it pops high by nature of how you do it (popping the shit out of your board into your dead-leg front foot).

Probably bad foot position. The back foot should be pretty close to the end of the tail, it sounds like you have it somewhere in the middle of the tail or even close to the bolts and you're basically snuffing out your own pop.

As far as the front foot goes, don't overthink it. So tired of this "you drag your foot up" shit. No you fucking don't, you PICK YOUR FRONT FOOT UP with the upward movement of the board and just ever so slightly bump it forward to level out. The whole "slide your foot" shit delayed me so long when trying to learn, you really don't move your front foot much at all with respect to the actual grip tape position, you just move it mostly up so you don't block the pop.

Your front foot does make contact with the board, but it doesn't flick, hence why I said "dead foot" because you just kind of let the board come up to it and the off-center contact is what does all of the flipping. A pressure flip is all in the back foot and you just move the front foot out of the way completely. Watch hardflips in slo mo, their foot basically goes up just like an ollie, but off to the heel side of the board, so instead of leveling out the board, the board keeps going and flips over. I'm telling you, it's a really simple/easy trick, it took me YEARS to learn it because I overcomplicated it in my head and thought it needed to be this hard tugging reverse varial kickflip with an actual flick and everything, but no, just basically an ollie with your front foot off center on the heel side (left if regular, right if goofy).

Anonymous No. 120959

>>120955
Where did I say your front foot didn't have contact with the board, retard? I said you don't SLIDE it like most explanations say, you just follow the natural tilt that comes from the pop and only once the pop is done and your back foot starts coming up do you just give the slightest tap forward, really only an inch or two, which is enough to level it out.

I didn't even go to the doctor, shit just hurt for like a month or two.

how do your bushings break? only way I can think is you had the nut tightened down way too tight/far. I keep trying to tell people this, and even people who have been skating for a decade still might not do it... but if you have to tighten the nut down really far to get the desired "tightness" then the stock bushings are too soft and you need to buy harder ones that match your bodyweight or desired feel better. barely any threads on the kingpin should be exposed at most. most stock bushings are literally designed for 120lb teens.

I went from skating low trucks with white bones bushings to stock Indies and I can't get comfy in them for the life of me.

So you have a history of ankle instability.
>long phase...tendon tear is healed...sorta stiff
It's not supposed to be 'that' long of a phase, but you keep prolonging it with hours of skating/tendon loading. If it's sort of stiff, then it actually hasn't healed properly; you probably have lots of scar tissue built up inside.
>I know when to stop
~20 hours of skating this week? You clearly don't.
>and what motions to avoid.
I'll concede that you may be right about this one thing. Which motions are you avoiding?
Btw, I'm not being harsh, and I'm not lecturing; this is coming from a place of good will toward fellow skaters. If you wanna keep doing what you're doing, fine. I just want everybody, including myself, to enjoy skating without pain and to the best of their abilities, and I think physical therapy is super underutilized in that respect in our sport. Also, skateboarding PTs are dope as fuck.

I appreciate it really. Basically any rotational movements or impacts are what I'm avoiding. Mostly I've been just surfing bowls and transition and I pump with the other leg. Once the week is up I'm going to take time off skating at all (weather is shit, my holiday is over). I knoe I'm prolonging recovery this way, but it's not making it worse.

Also, should have said: the stiffness is only when I bend it ALL the way back, like the last 5% of sitting Japanese style or leaning forward for a lunge with my sole flat. I have my full range of motion without pain, but I'm avoiding doing really heavy work with that foot until that last bit of stiffness is gone, which could be months. I can walk with it totally fine and I'm able to do full PT routines, but it's just not 100% back to normal yet.

Thanks bro. Kyle Brown is the man. I follow him on Instagram.

Also I wound up just doing 2 hours today. Ankle is fine, though I did slip out on the bowl and take a heavy knock to my knee. I also attempted to drop in to the shallow end of a pool (5.5ft tall, 4.5ft of tranny) but bottled it at the last moment and basically just jumped down to the flat. Haven't felt that kind of terror of dropping in in a long long time. Definitely a different experience than what I'm used to.

I feel like it depends on your location. I moved from a smaller town to a bigger one and everyone here is a lot more closed off. In the small town you'd just slowly get to know everyone because we all skated the same spots. In a bigger city I see the same people less and groups tend to be more clicky. Took me a while to figure where to go and when for a good session with good people.
