Skating big boards is for fags and women. Skating transition on a toothpick is the only real way. Limp dick popping your tricks is cooler than trying hard to pop your board like a goofy ass nigga. Skinny jeans will make a comeback to fleece lames who bought polar big boys.

Because it brings skateboarding and demos to a wider, non-skater audience. It's going to be in the next olympics. Your average person looks at street skating and only registers that someone is doing some sort of flip trick into some sort of grind, but they can tell the difference between number of spins, broad types of grab, lip tricks, inverts and grinds. Honestly a vert contest looks much better than an SLS style contest these days because the latter has become super fucking boring and homogeneous that they may as well just make those parks a single stair set and a rail at this point.

Plus, idk, maybe there's some nostalgia now.

Skating has at its core been about how it's being done imo. Jimmy's flawless front side airs are so much cooler than a 720 kickflip tailside big spin varial heel out by some ninja.
SLS fell into the same problem all skate comps do. Lance Mountain goes on about it a bit in his nine club. Once you frame something as the end goal, within 10 years you get people trained from birth at that specific goal and it becomes lame and robotic and skating moves on elsewhere.

flexibilty, balance work and plyometrics imo. strength training probably has benefits once you start maxing out your pop but most people don't know how ollie effectively enough for that to matter more than simply pulling their legs up higher. isolations are probably the least useful thing for general skating albeit they might help mitigate injury (if you aren't a complete tard who fucks themselves up in the gym) developing movement patterns and gymnastic-style work probably has the most direct payoff for actual skating.

That's why I said it's going to make a comeback. Hawk just bought shares in the X-Games and it's changing hands overall because they've let it stagnate and become boring, somehow. They're are a lot of younger vert skaters on the rise too. Obviously I don't think it's going to come out of the gate and get the same viewership as Street League, but I think it'll do well enough that it'll have its niche.

>pads look like some fucking dorky pizza bagels shit and ever though snowboarders are decked out in full on bodyarmor their jackets

I've honestly been tempted to try wearing motorcycle jackets and pants to see if it provides enough protection for slams. If they just had caps on the knees I could do a proper slide. I don't mind proper skate pads too much, but yeah, they can look a bit shit and make it harder to tell which skater is which at a glance. And I think most people don't like to wear them because they're a pain to take on and off at a sesh. I have construction/tradesmen pants I wear some of the time and they're pretty damn good for skating all around, so something like that could be an option.

You won't be able to move properly in motorcycle gear, it's very restrictive compared to normal clothing. You'll also look even goofier than if you were wearing skateboard pads

You can measure to the bolts as well, they are in the same place as the holes. The distance between the baseplates is not the same measurement. Yes axle to axle is technically the true wheelbase but that is not going to be relevant to any board dimensions you see online.

I met this cool guy at the skatepark over the weekend. He was telling me that in his hometown in Michoacan he used to have a lot of friends and they would all skate/bmx/rollerblade together and listen to punk. Sounded like it would be so wholesome, no one giving a fuck about being too cool and everyone just having fun together. But then the cartels became more prominent and a lot of his friends got hooked on meth and cartel members would intimidate him and his friends a lot with guns so he moved to california. I taught him how to do a fly out LOL

this is one area where i think it's okay to be kind of a bitch. get really comfortable buttsliding on big tranny, one of the advantages of big shit is that you have way more time to react . beyond that, you already have those tricks anon you just need to learn how to ride so don't even worry about tricks for a while just cruise until the basics feel completely natural at 10ft+. another thing you can do is try skating the small tranny with more speed since speed is going to be the main difference when you go bigger.

agree'd, crazy pop and stair skating has been trite for a minute now. it's the easiest and most boring way to skate street. it requires no real skill or technical ability. you only have to be dumb enough to do it. it's not impressive in the slightest and is actually kind of cringe if that's all you can do. I find it very childish to skate that way as an adult. Like why are you 30+ unironically skating more than an 8 stair lmao grow up.

Yes and apparently like 90% of bearings that are in the $10-20 range are all made by the same chink company and are all probably abec 1 because china has no obligation to actually follow abec guidelines and they can just write whatever they want on their bearings.

That's why I just pop the shields and spray my bearings with wd40 whenever I want to skate lmao. Right now I am riding spitfire burners, the shittest bearings I have ever rode

I've heard this from a couple of other people so it's not just me, but Indy bushing are fucking awful for some reason. Even the hardest grade ones fall to shit after a few days use. I've gone through two black sets and a yellow set without even tightening them too much (at most a single thread above the nut). They either wind up buckling entirely or, if it's a barrel shaped one, mashing out at the edge and getting cut up by the washer.

I switched to Bones and they've all held up MUCH better.

Thrashers has embraced a lot of globo homo corporate faggot shit since Phelps death.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRJIAC7WsUA

Do you guys think he was killed? His death was random and no one was really talking about it. His influence was huge over the whole scene and now the dude who took over is taking it down the globohomo woke faggot route. Phelps surely would have pushed back.

Why are you guys obsessed with swiss? They're literally a meme. Snake oil. You don't need anything more than reds. And I say that so you support a skate brand. Realistically you can just get bearings from a hardware store. It's the same thing.

Most of the older skaters i roll with buy swiss and they like them. Seems to me that they are maybe slightly better than regular bearings but not worth paying triple the price. The older guys probably just have the expendable cash to throw at swiss bearings.

Also if you are skating street it's probably less important than if you are skating a bowl. When you skate a bowl with shitty bearings it really sucks because you have to work twice as hard to get speed and then you have less energy to actually do tricks.

Ventura anon here. Boomer desert bro are you in lancaster or the valley this holiday? I know you said you go between the two or something. Anyway if you're in the valley and are up for skating somewhere new i would be down to skate westlake park tomorrow if you want to meet halfway. It's a small park but it has a little bit of everything - small bowl and then some basic street obstacles.

I've been skating Super Reds for probably 8 months in London (dirty and wet as fuck), cleaned them once or twice, No issues so far. I'd be tempted to try Swiss some time because I've rusted bearings out plenty, but it's a steep price for something that I'm not sure is worth it.

I have so much love and respect for Tony Hawk. I read his autobiography 20 years ago as a kid and how he was bullied etc coming up. That gave me the confidence to stay true to myself as a weird autistic skater kid and stuck with me ever since. But he was so stupid in his recovery that it was painful to watch. Especially after I just came off a long injury where I made a lot of the mistakes he did.

Vibed. What is this new word? Is it when you misinterpret the language of someone else? Because if you never cared about what other people are doing, or saying, then it's impossible to get Vibed. Unless my definition is incorrect.

I went to the skatepark today. Nobody was there. So I was not Vibed. So because I was not seen or heard, and because I could not see or hear anyone else. It was impossible to experience vibes.

Our ancestors took care of the disabled and injured, but okay. I think that's a weird reaction to have. I can get looking at someone who is particularly disabled and skating and getting worried that they're going to REALLY hurt themselves, but if they're able to actually shred then they obviously have it figured out.

What about people with, idk, more aesthetic disabilities like Lefty or those blind guys? Do they freak you out too?

Whose ancestors? I am referring to europeans. Before modern medicine it was probably more humane to just let them die than it was to keep them alive

Because he exhausted himself trying to hype you up and you never got hyped up to commit so his effort was wasted.

This is why I can't skate around people. If someone is committed I usually stay the fuck away from them. I've seen people lose focus because people all start filming or staring lol

>Often dismissed as primitive brutes, Neanderthals could be altruistic and social, a study suggests. Analysis of the 50,000-year-old remains of a severely disabled one, named Shanidar 1, shows that he survived into old age thanks to the help of other Neanderthals.

>Shanidar 1 was deaf, blind, missing his right arm from the elbow and had a severe limp. His remains were found at the Shanidar Cave in Iraqi Kurdistan in 1957 but a new analysis has just been published in the journal Plos One.

There are multiple skeletons of old humans and hominids that showcased disabilities and they weren't always rich. Living to old age means their community took care of them. If a member of your family or a close friend was disabled, you'd naturally want to take care of them. The only times people think it's better for society that they are left to die or are just killed outright are when nobody has any sort of bond to them (eg; some government apparatus).

Anyway, skating is full of older guys who fucked themselves up to the point they can't skate any more or can only skate to a reduced degree and I think it'd be super shitty to leave them behind, so I don't think it's any more justified to leave someone born with a disability behind.

Learn every single thing you can that relates to a trick so that the scary unknown factor that makes you not commit is as small as possible.

>want to drop in
>too scared
>learn to pump on the ramp
>ride it fakie
>do this until you're reaching the top of the ramp where your wheels will connect once you actually put your board down
>ride different ramps with different transitions and materials so you can adjust for each one without thinking
>ride your skateboard around fast, learn how to run out
>"drop in" on smaller shit like curbs, small hills, banks, etc
>practice all of your pivots and manuals so you can get in and out of those poses without thinking
>now dropping in is a fraction of a second where your front two wheels need to touch the ramp

Same for any kind of trick really. You do the stuff you're familiar and comfortable with but try to expand it out to be faster, bigger, etc. And then master all the non-trick skills like cavemans, riding switch/fakie, throwdowns, riding off curbs, that thing where you put the board upside down with your feet underneath and flip it and jump on top at the same time. Do the tricks you already have on lock and see if there's one similar to the new one you're trying to land.


Then lastly you should try filming yourself in case there's some motion you're doing that's fucking you up without realising. It only clicked to me the other day that I was throwing my shoulder around too early to get properly locked into a stall I was trying even though I was technically doing the correction steps. I would have figured that out sooner if I had someone film me.

practice building up to the trick you want to do, and then you'll be more confident to do it. Don't jump into the trick right away, make sure you're in the zone first and then send it

The only thing that works for me is doing the trick on progressively bigger ramps, like starting on a 2ft quarterpipe, then 3ft, 4ft, and so on. For ledges it could be starting at curbs and working your way up. It usually means driving around to a lot of different spots if your local isn't very varied but yeah this is the only thing that works for me.

I love the how anime and films think that skating somehow makes you faster and more mobile in a foot chase when there are hundreds of videos skaters picking up their boards and running from security guards.

Looks fuckin' cool though: https://youtu.be/9_JCv4tl8Fo?t=119

Imagine being chased by someone and doing a fucking BS nose grind to fakie 50 down a narrow handrail instead of just running down the steps.

>Few lads skating at night
>Car drives by
>Not sure what happens but the "chico locos" get out the car and start dabbing on the skaters
>Bit of a fight breaks out
>One of the Mexcians pulls out a gun and threatens to shoot them
>One of the skaters hits him with his board and he drops the gun
>Skate picks the gun up
>Mexicans start begging for their lives

Equal parts disturbing and top kek.
I'm sure there's a really awkward part when the skater has the gun and is trying to tell them to leave and be intimidating but he's only about 14 so it doesn't really work too well.
