Lazy airs. I mean yeah it would be pointless for plaza style parks but I guess it would make getting decent air on transition much less of an advanced trick.
Idk you could use magnets instead or something to let you bail and push.

Man, I'm not sure you've ever actually tried to get air at all. Even with magnets or any other type of thing to fix your feet to a board it would be a mess:
>stuck in one stance the whole time, can't properly shift weight to the nose or tail for basically any kind of stall
>many grabs would also be super fucking hard because you have to bend into uncomfortable positions to reach the spot you want. Even a nose grab would put your ankle under pressure or put you in a bad position for landing
>ollies are also super hard because you can't kick the nose properly and do that levering motion. You're basically locked into early grabs, only with your feet instead of just your hands
>flip tricks also impossible
>rotations are way harder because you're locked into a board that's a fraction of the size of a snowboard without the ability to fully shift weight and foot position
>one footed graps like judos are also impossible
There's a reason people don't do it beyond for the lulz. Just do the experiment yourself; duct tape your feet to a board and see how much harder it is to do 90% of your basic manoeuvres.

vibing is "real" if you let it be. I grew up moving around a lot as a kid/teen, and I've never gotten vibed out at a single skate park because I just show up to skate by myself and just don't really interact with anyone. throw some headphones in, don't really pay attention to anyone besides a head nod when dudes make eye contact and making sure you are spatially aware of where you/others are at so you don't run into anyone, and I can guarantee you that you will never get vibed out anywhere.
This dude is clearly some autist if hes talking about getting emotionally checked by a bunch of suburbanite 16 year old girls who either look like Poe Pinson or Nelly. Give me a fucking break, dude. How in your own head do you have to be to actually start thinking about who the local teenagers are fucking because they gave you a glare when you did your pussy as slash grind.

i haven't been at a skatepark where there were any other people in probably over a decade but i do remember as a kid there were a lot of weird cliquey groups but girls didn't even really skate back then they were all ramp tramps who would sit on the funbox and smoke cigarettes all afternoon so if you're being vibed by some bitch who's actually skating that's an improvement imo. trying to learn to skate as a grown man surrounded by highschoolers probably feels awkward as fuck so i don't envy newfag anons. but also this is why you bitches should skate street spots because the only people who are gonna vibe you are cops and security jannies

I hate how bad people have become at filming action in general. Filmers have such a hard time just sitting the fuck still at the best, clearest angle they can find. I know this one martial artist/stunt person who can do the sickest shit ever but every time they get someone to film it, the guy is fucking swinging the camera around with every single hit and ends up obscuring the actually good stunt work.
I honestly don't know if I hate action-slide-and-drone-oversell filming or arbitrary-sub-SD-VX1000 filming more at this point.

This thread lacks dumb beginner questions about ollies, so here's one for you. I'm having trouble feeling like I'm going to slip out of my ollies when I go to pop, but mostly at indoor skateparks with smooth floors. Is this normal and something you have to get used to? I fucking hate the feel of it and it makes me second guess myself as I'm about to pop, then I flail like a retard because I'm expecting to slam.

mm yea just do a million more you'll get it. surface friction shouldn't change your ollie if you're doing it right. Force should go STRAIGHT DOWN on the back foot- you're probably scooping it back or something. the front foot pulls the board forward only after it has left the ground. Practice more stationary then moving and bend your knees more and make sure your shoulders are straight is the general advice. sorry if this sounds 'hand wavey' but the truth is that you gotta just do it a million times more than you think until it becomes like natural. It's like learning to hold a pen kids you start out ham-fisted then eventually it's second nature. filming yourself and comparing it to a good one in slow motion might help

Thanks, anon, makes sense to me. I've seen a lot of tutorials talk about how when you do moving ollies, you pop slightly away, so maybe I'm over exaggerating that and throwing myself off balance. I also have trouble with over popping, so I can't do small pops and ollies, I always have to go big because for some reason it feels safer, dunno why.

Yeah sure if you're a loser who can't talk to anyone anyway and just skates with his airpods in all the time you might not notice people trying to vibe you. I'm a normal person and can read social cues so I actually notice that stuff. Stop acting like you're too cool to get vibed you try hard lmao

Probably not. Sounds like normal teen boys. Now if those same boys started glaring at you everytime they rolled in your direction, skating past you inappropriately close (almost shoulder checking you) or snaking you when you're waiting your turn to skate a ramp then yeah maybe you got vibed.
Like I don't give a shit if people don't wanna talk at the skatepark and just keep to themselves but vibing someone is just cringe. The crew that these chicks are probably getting passed around by are notorious for vibing everyone because they think they're a) really good and b) all upper middle class or rich kids that think they are hard because their local is a ghetto skatepark. For some reason they think skating at a ghetto spot somehow means they grew up rough or something lmao. Anyway these chicks were chill until they started following around that crew, now they vibe everyone. At the end of the day I don't even care they some Nelly impersonators vibe a grown man at a skatepark, I'm more just posting it here because it's cringe

So i'd just be producing 3x as much waste? I know people don't think about it in skateboarding very often but shoes are just another thing that ends up in landfill. There's no way around it happening but you can minimize by not buying shit that will wear out in like a month.
Yeah maybe if you're getting them on sale it'd be fine but there is no way you could get me to buy a pair of any of those company's shoes for more than like $30 when Nikes or Adidas have better grip and last 3x as long.

This. They might not be as 'cool' as a smaller 'skate' brand but they're objectively better if you plan on actually skating them through the life of the shoe. Nike are up there with Disney McDonalds and Starbucks in terms of companies targeted by 'anticorporate' artists like banksy, which is ironic because at scale their production is much less bad for the environment than if you took these smaller companies and scaled them up. Same as the zumiez hate and 'buy local' bullshit- it's a quaint idea to support 'independent creators' but it's just inefficient on so many levels.

agreed. A company like Nike has such a diluted team that the brands identity is basically nonexistent. You could argue that perhaps a company like Emerica might be "trapped" in the past because it's a team of heavy rail chompers and hammer type skaters but at least they've got a classic image that they've stuck with for years.

The majority of skateboarders are probably some of the lamest people you will ever come across in your life.
Why does this sport attract so many losers? You can see in this thread how quickly these people will differentiate between themselves and the 'incels' getting 'vibed' because they need to establish their place in the skate hierarchy. It's the only hierarchy that they will ever have in their life.

>Officials confirmed that 25-year-old Kanarr died Feb. 25 after a freak accident at the popular skatepark.
>"There was apparent damage to a ceiling-level beam, where it appeared as though the bike had struck," Deputy Chief Robert Stefano, of the Orange Fire Department, said. "There was broken, fluorescent glass on the ground and the injuries were consistent with that of striking what appeared to be a fluorescent light bulb in his neck."
>Firefighters said when they got to the skatepark, which is directly across the street from the UCI trauma center, witnesses had wrapped t-shirts around his neck to try to stop the bleeding.
>It was not immediately clear what led up to the accident, though firefighters and paramedics said they did everything they could to save the man.
>"The injuries were significant enough where he lost a tremendous amount of blood on scene as well as en route to the hospital," Stefano said.
>The coroner confirmed that Kanarr died as a result of blood loss from a neck laceration.

No idea if this is true but it was rumoured that an indoor skate park in Dublin, Ramp and Rail, shut down because a kid fell off his board while coming down a bank, no helmet, and slid at high speed head first into the front of a flatbar, giving him a fatal brain injury.

I don’t disagree with you but these days skateboarding attracts a ton of losers who are probably doing pretty well by societies standards. The thing is that there is something inherently wrong with these people. Like you could tell it’s something they latch onto because they don’t have much outside of wagecucking and think it will make them a more interesting person. There’s no actual passion backing this interest. It’s all for social reasons the main one thinking it will get them women. These are the same type of people who complain about getting vibed because everybody can tell they don’t skate for the sake of skating. Uninteresting losers need to stick to chasing the bag and buy their personality. Real skaters don’t give give a shit about a hierarchy. They’re actually focused on taking their skateboarding to the next level. Everything outside of that is irrelevant and most likely poser shit.

kek that's me but I'm depressed so i do what i can with the small bursts of energy i get throughout the sesh. if I'm skating with someone it's a totally different story, those are always the best sesh where i actually push myself. i only get like that when i skate alone. i feel like i need someone to hold my hand to get me to actually skate most days, skating alone just isn't appealing to me anymore...

how do you guys skate alone? i think my brain is too fried to get stimulated by skating alone. i don't have the same passion for skating as when i was younger and would spend hours trying to learn new tricks. i still want to skate as much as i can but now i don't care as much, i feel like once i get a couple more ledge tricks down ill be satisfied forever.

skating alone is a good time to just figure things out imo. like you can go lab a trick on a parking block or jump down a gap 20 times without looking like a total faggot to everyone around you. it's also a good time to go cruise and find new spots or even skate shitty spots that no one else would ever go session. last night i went and skated some garbage 2 foot ditch tranny and it was fun as hell not having to deal with the homies being 'over it' in like 10 minutes.

i don't have any friends I wear headphones and I'm an awkward looking older guy who doesn't skate very well. if there's too many people at the spot I'm going to the next one. I would prefer if I could skate without anyone even witnessing me it's just a fun way to exercise and groove to my music. I know I look stupid and I'm not trying to look stupid in a group of similar people because that looks even stupider. 'vibing' to me is when other people are looking at me in a way to make it be known that they're looking at me as if they're going to make me realize I look stupid. It's like when you go to the store and the guy at the shop is shadowing you like you're going to steal something. Usually I just don't buy whatever I was there for and leave. You can tell me I'm an autistic loser I already know.

I usually do a morning session when the park is empty or go to an indoor park during off peak hours to make sure I get mostly alone time. Then I just grind the same few tricks over and over, cause when people show up, suddenly I have to share and things get less productive. Basically I use the time to go all out on trying to nail something, cause skating with others usually means I get distracted and can't focus on something for more than 10mins at a time. I am a shitty beginner though so I have to grind out the fundamentals constantly.

Managed a lunchtime session at my crusty local. Ground is actually uneven and bumpy due to what I assume is a shit job in the first place, with shitty patch ups on top. Learning to push on it has been a struggle, but I can push pretty confidently on most surfaces now thanks to it. Gotta push hard to get any kind of speed. It's like weighted training or something.

I find it meditative and physical demanding like a good gym workout. I tend to make my most progress this way. But it's only ever just flatland stuff because I can't be bothered to go to parks early in the morning. Plus I have a minor fear that I'd eat shit in a bowl, maybe knock myself out or break something and be unable to get out alone.

i think i've only been "vibed" once but only because the zoomer highschooler felt threatened i was ripping his skatepark territory lmao
i'm an older (31 yo) skater that can skate decently - plenty of tricks/grinds and usually skate with headphones on.
i remember i was 50-50ing a rail and slipped out and slammed on my ass hard as fuck, but still got straight back up and hit it again immediately.
i remember the kid said something as he was sitting with his group of zoomer friends sitting on a ledge (lol), since the rail was right next to them. but i couldnt hear him through the headphones.
if you are feeling "vibed" at a park remember that it just means their insecurities are showing

as a "middle aged father" i don't think i've been vibed - I'm a pretty social dude though. I usually skate in the mornings and there's usually the same people there though. But- when i've skated midday when the skatepark is more crowded- I havent felt that, but im not going to go out of my way to talk to teens either.
I wonder if they think i'm vibing them?
On the topic of skateboarding alone, my brother works this weekend and i might skate alone tomorrow morning. I have to do shopping for Thanksgiving and run other Saturday errands but i'll be at Jane Reynolds skatepark from 7 to 9. Ventura bro or any other Cali friends in the area if you want to wake up early and skate in the fucking cold, meet me there so you can vibe me.
I'm not a huge Dan Corgan fan BUT this video has that skatepark if you want a view of the layout.

Everyone asked him what he was doing and he just looked at us with a dumb smile and told us not to worry because he was doing a good job with the wax. Luckily I was on my way out because I don't want to deal with aggravations. One of our criminal hooligan locals told him he was never ever allowed to do that again.

the only thing sketchy about smiths is the hangup factor. they're one of the most stable positions to sit on a rail and imo they're easier than 50s because the way you dip into the ledge makes it easier to get the back truck higher. you're already in a leveraged position for flip in flip out shit too
