Buying a complete is a noob mistake imo. Source parts yourself and put it together. Since you're on 4chan I'll assume you know computers. It's the equivalent of buying a Walmart gaming PC where the power supply is some soviet machine with a 3 day lifespan, your wires are made of scrap metal bought from junkies and every component beyond the 3 that were advertised have brand names that don't exist on the internet.

I'd be stoked if tfunk got it. I always saw him in kaders shadow but he 100% on his own thing now and killing it. I think that's what soty should be, who ever basically stepped up.
Someone who just does more of what they already were doing isn't as deserving imo. Obviously a Suciu shot but Mason Silver and a few others lately, idk.. I think there needs to be that x factor, for a lack of better word. And I fear Louie will get it. Not that any of those 3 don't shred, just seems more gimmicky or something.
>>121761
It's the way to go. Idk the cost difference and maybe someone will come and say there are some legit completes. But the cheap ones for $50 or so you won't be having much fun on and will be hard to progress with I think.

Also got reminiscing of my biggest hill bomb and the one that scared me shitless to pretty much never try go bigger. Google earth pic doesn't do justice I feel. It mellows out but keeps going downhill after the trees. I had to either bail to grass to make a tight turn into a side street, I made the turn as a car was coming out and had to shoot between it and a parked car at mach speed.

keep bombing the hill until it becomes second nature and you can smoothly incorporate it into your little cruising session. it stretches an itch like no other, and the fact you rode it out despite nearly dying should probably lead you onto why it's so fun. it's a pretty pure aspect of skateboarding, as long as you can get it under control.

Honestly I'm not sure on the current scene. Moved away for a few years and most the people I skated with growing up have quit. The groms are as keen as ever, parks not too crowded and usually get chill vibes.
That's cool though, I used to hang out at Martin place and Cannonball a lot growing up. It's not like those days where you can rock upto a street spot and there is 50 people skating. Either idk where everyone is at or there is less skaters these days

Well I assume you're around the same age as me, but what I remember growing up is that aside from Waterloo none of the other Sydney skateparks were very interesting, so maybe that's why people skated street in Sydney a lot back then. Seems like in the last decade they've built a bunch more skateparks in Sydney and Australia in general so maybe people are just hanging at skateparks more these days and there are more of them around so the crowds are more dispersed. I could be way off the mark but that's my guess.
One thing I really fucking hate about these new Australian parks though is that the concrete is like glassy slick, it's slippery to the point it's dangerous and then they seal it too which makes it even worse.
Anonymous at Mon, 24 Oct 2022 04:09:08 UTC No. 122066
Also my other complaint with Australian skateparks is that the new ones hardly ever have real transition. It's always just like one or two 3/4ft quarterpipes at either end of a street plaza style skatepark.
No surprise there though because Australia has like no transition skating scene in general so no one is really asking for pools or even pool coping at the new parks and the kids don't care that it's not there.

I think Waterloo didn't even exist when I'm talking. Late 90s early 00s. I remember it being super crowded spot and I lived other side of bridge so never really went, then I moved away not long after.
But yeh a few parks have openned since. Some really good ones but what you say is true lots of street (I don't mind that), most transition parks we have are all crusty ass old ones. I don't mind the smoothness compared to that.
My local is pretty perfect now though, newish with a good mix of both street and transition, usually quiet and concrete is worn in but still nice. Rarely gets too crowded.

The closest shop to me is owned by an insufferable trust fund baby. His parents are turbo rich and he asked them for something like a million dollars, so they just gave it to him. He took that money and got a big skatepark built. The shop sucks but the park is good.

Like you go outside with your skateboard and you have fun. This can include anything from riding fast, riding slow, bombing hills, dropping in on the quarter pipe, trying to do pop shoveits stationary in the grass, doing cavemans, trying to learn real tricks while moving.

I agree but.. I think a big part of skating is your personal progression. The time and effort required to learn anything on your board. Trying and failing over and over. Taking the falls and the pain and pushing through to achieve your goal. It instills a never give up attitude that crosses over to all aspects of your life.

Transition, as in anything with quarterpipes, bowls, mini ramps, big ramps, etc. If you want to keep it boring then get proper ollies where you're actually jumping and not just getting a small pop and lift. Where you can ollie over and onto shit and you're not going slow as dicks. Otherwise learn pop shuvs and fakie shuvs and half cabs (which are only fakie) and fs 180s are usually easier than bs. Heelflip. Kickflip. That sort of shit.

I feel like you visited in the mid 90s and never came back kek.
They all were torn down bar a handful. By the time I started skating those ramps were all pieces of shit (97ish). I'm guessing they went up in the 80s and guys like Ellis, Pappas etc came up then. By late 90s they were mostly impossible to ride. Many had the vert chopped off then left to rot until torn down later.
My current local is where an old ramp was sitting for 15 years or so unrideable.

Not op, but we don’t have a lot of skate-shops in my country so the prices are insane.

IMO, Learning basic body varials (or sex changes), 180s and even no comply 180s definitely helped me form a decent foundation.
I can’t say enough how critical it is to keep practicing Ollie’s and getting a nice crispy pop. It helps a lot when you learn stuff like heelflips and kickflips. Start trying to ollie over things or up banks/curbs like the other anon says. Having a good high and balanced ollie will make it a lot easier to land and understand flip tricks.

Canberra had weird parks from memory. I only went there when young, anyway nice.
Apparently there was even a half pipe on the street I lived in the early 90s but was torn down. I moved to the area in 96 and never even saw it. Had a hard time believing it existed. My guess was they all got built when very became huge then skating died and so did lots of the ramp.

Yeah it has some pretty iconic spots though. Kambah u-pipe, erindale banks, the old belco bowl... All were in tent city (the old anti hero vid). The newer parks are all pretty good although I remember it seeming like they were falling apart barely years after they had been built.
Pic related is John cardiel at erindale banks. My aunt lived up the road from this spot and my brother and I would go there as kids and ride our bmx bikes. At the time I just thought it was some weird shitty old park lmao

practice your ollies until you can ollie a foot high easily. Too do this just keep finding things to ollie over. Youll get broken off a few times but constantly trying to push the limits of your ollie is a good way to improve quickly. Once you got a good confident ollie you can move on to flip tricks and shuv its, but the ollie is the foundation of everything, you wouldnt build a house on a shitty foundation.

This >>122439 is the only answer, anon. One routine that works for someone might not work for you, but just going out and practicing as much as possible whenever you can is universal. Something new can be as simple as nose stalls on a curb. Then do a revert out of it, then do it fronstside, then switch etc.

Aside from just skating what you have, I guess you could do shit like this:
>endovers and monster walks of all types. Quickly improves your balance, gets you used to riding fakie/switch. Very handy to have when you need to quickly save a landing.
>carving bowls frontside and backside. Remember to "sit" into your frontside carves/stick your ass out
>rolling off curbs and ledges. Builds your confidence, gets you used to being in the air
>pushing switch.
>more ollies; fakie, up curbs, down curbs, on ramps (both over the top and into fakie), etc

There is a secret to getting good at skating which I already stated in this thread>>122437
Trying and failing tricks thousands of times is a far less valuable use of your time than mastering the basics like Ollie's, 180s, kick turns, switch, and just riding fast.
I can't tell you how many people I see on a daily basis trying tre flips for hours moving at a snails pace when they really have no business attempting that trick. They might land one ugly ass tre flip but for what? You could have spent that time practicing Ollie's and you would have seen much more improvement. Once you can actually ride around on your skate and not look like a retard, then you can start expanding your bag of tricks, and your gonna have a way easier time learning tricks than the guy that spent all of his time falling on advanced techniques without building the proper foundation.
Is this the most fun way of skateboarding? No. But is this the way you actually become good at skateboarding? Yes. The thing all pros have in common is at one point they were the kid at skatepark who rode around fast just fearlessly ollieing off and over shit. It has nothing to do with being special, it's just there is a wrong path and there is a right path.

You basically have to crouch into the upwards motion way more than you do in regular transition, then go back to standing upright on the way down. Only way to get the feeling for it is to try. It's basically the same idea, just faster and with more "crouchy" body movements.
Anonymous at Fri, 28 Oct 2022 01:43:47 UTC No. 122569
you ever sense that someone is following you around the skatepark? like they sort of linger around you hoping you'll make eye contact and say hi or something and you can tell they are orbiting you because they never skate the particular spot you're at, ever, but magically end up over there only when you are skating it... i like to avoid them even more because it's funny but i eventually say sup and they go away, skaters are so weird sometimes lmao

I belive my meniscus is torn, it didn't hurt that bad when I did it but I felt it wasn't right right away. it feels like a pressure inside the joint and now it grinds when I straighten it. Also lateral force makes it feel bad. Just kinda feels gross most of the time like how Ben Degros said. I am about 10 months out from, I never got a scan since the only treatment is surgery and at this point it is not usually painful.

indy and ace are the taller of the truck brands off the bat. you won't be able to do much of anything to make them 'shorter' and smaller bushings will only bring your wheelbase in, not make it shorter. indy makes a mid truck so you can go that route if you feel they are too tall. thunder and venture are the lower of the brands with venture having a low option

It is, but it's a one time investment pretty much and for a long time you'll only change your deck. If you're not that good you can literally skate the same deck for a whole year too. DGK is cringe though.

Yeah but it's just a skateboard at the end of the day, also why is DGK cringe?

Jesus Christ. Last Zero deck I got was 65. Cheaper but decent decks were like 45. What a ripoff.
