record yourself, compare it to a pros / youtuber who can do it well, try different things, get pissed off after 20 mins of trying, do a different trick, fail that one too, repeat. you get it eventually just keep at it

any tips for someone who has totally plateaued?
i'm 26 so i feel like it's time to just pack it up. Is it really worth getting injured to learn new stuff?
I want to learn 50/50, shove-it, kickflip, 180s.. Ollie up onto the funbox.. meh

These are all the basic tricks.
If you think you've plateaued on an ollie , maybe it is best if you didn't skateboard anymore.

I like to cruise around the bowl, so flat ground isn't really my area of expertise and I don't even know how to start, I've just been practicing getting a nice pop on my ollies and trying to bring my legs up high.

I've never really skated to do the tricks though, I just like riding the board around the streets, carving the bowl and doing kick turns..

Then keep doing that and getting better at that. Switch up the bowls and you'll just naturally progress while having fun. How it's meant to be.
You don't need to learn the other shit and it sounds like you won't get much satisfaction from doing so.

Ok, so then you know you haven't plateaued if you've never tried anything. Did you just make that post so people could encourage you and give you positive words? Are you looking for trick tips?

that's the most common thing in skating, and it's easy to fix. the issue is that you are not staying over your board with your shoulders. you must be kicking your tres out too far in front of you when doing it regular. this doesn't happen fakie because you have most of your mass leaning away from the popping foot. when doing it regular, literally lean your shoulders towards the nose more, this will make the board want to pivot around the popping foot more, and then you jump more "forward" with the board. you will know you are doing it right because you will start jumping too far ahead of the board. then you just dial it back. you have to commit though. tldr, you're leaning too far back/straight up, and or not committing. this is why doing it going up a bank is easier for people just learning than doing it on flat, the board naturally wants to stay under you.

I've plateaued because I don't feel the urge to try more because I don't think it's worth it getting injured in the process.
>was this just a cry for attention so we can all tell you things like "never give up!" and "keep skating baby!"
I think it's a legitimate question, is it worth it to keep on learning new tricks when eventually you're going to eat total shit and have a serious injury? It seems you already answered it and said it's best to not skateboard which is a reasonable position
shit like this is why I don't think it's worth it

You don't have to ollie down stairs bro. Yeah, street tricks will net you more injuries than transition, but if you just pace yourself they'll be fairly minor. Session a little curb or something and you can have hours of fun and challenge yourself to get creative with how you use it. Try some freestyle basics first, then take your new techy skills to a curb and see what you can come up with.

question for the older skaters here. i'm in my early 30s and try to skate every day, but after 3/4 days of skating my muscles are so tired my consistency goes down like crazy. 2 days off for rest isn't enough.
i recently took a week off for holidays/new year and skated for the first time in a week yesterday and was super consistent and my pop was crazy high.
what do you guys find is the best routine for rest? i'm not only trying to keep my skills but actively continue to get better.

31 here. Feeling pretty achey today but will try to have a light session in a bit. Mostly it's a matter of, sadly, actively staying fit the usual boring ways; diet, sleep, strength training (and maybe some cardio). I don't really know what schedule of skating works best for me because sometimes I can go for literally the entire day and be fine the next morning, and sometimes a 2 hour sesh will leave me fucked for most of the week, but I think I was at my best when I would alternate between a day of skating and a day of weights and walking with plenty of sleep at night, no junk food and minimal beer, and one day a week where I basically do nothing but sit and play video games.

Late 20s and i can skate about 4 times a week without feeling like i'm overdoing it. I usually skate Tuesday, thursday and then i'll skate saturday and sunday. I only skate transition which i think is easier on the joints but fatigues your muscles faster.
When i went to oregon i tried to skate for like 5 days in a row and by the end i was so over it and could barely even kickturn in a ramp i was so fatigued

I had to learn the hard way that I can probably only handle 2 sessions week, realistically. I had to take a 3 month break from over-doing it and that was not fun. I find I can do two sessions of about 3 hours max each, but that's plenty for me because I tend to skate non-stop as soon as I get to the park. I don't fuck around much and I only take short 5 minute breaks to have water every hour or so. By the time the 3rd hour is up I'm fucked.

It was my own retarded fault, but I actually bruised all the muscles around my ankle by going too hard too fast without giving my body a chance to adapt to the new muscles being used etc. Like I would do a 2 hour session at a skatepark, then sometimes come home and do another half hour session of ollie practice. Then I would also just do them when I was bored in the house on my off days, which means I was never recovering properly. Kept this up for about 8 months before I started limping after a heavy week and realised I had actually damaged my muscles. I was new to skating at 33 as well and already unfit. The damage was so deep that it took 3 weeks of not skating before the bruise actually showed up.
I made fast progress considering I was new to skating and quickly caught up to and passed other boomers who had been skating a lot longer, but I paid the price for it.

I have 4 large pieces of carpet that I push together in my garage to make a practice area for flat ground tricks. I spent 6 months relearning how to do tricks and finally landed some heel flips. Got really consistent with them and then starting doing short runs in my limited space that is about one car length. It feels totally different while out on the rough streets but it gives me an option when it's raining outside or I don't want to be bullied by kids 15 years younger than me (lol, for real though one of the kids in my complex saw me wearing a skateboard shirt and started asking me about skating and now I meet up with him a couple times a week and his mom watches us skateboard which is funny since I'm the same age as her).

It’s a real shame because I really used to like his skating but now it looks like he trying to force his own style extremely hard. The heitor effect. You can see it in real time if you rewatch his chocolate part. The earlier clips with the slim fitting jeans looks so good on him and his style is dialed in, but the later clips look like a parody of current skate trends

Hold 3-8 positions for 3 deep breathes, the others 1 deep breathe, then you transition on next the inhale. Do it 3 times with small breaks daily.
I do much more but this helps core balance, leg strength, flexibility, overall circulation and breathing. Will also help weak knees/ankles.

>>131839
The only muscles that matter are your leg and hip muscles and squats will train all of them.
But it's pretty much impossible to seriously train your lower body and still skate regularly, both of them fatigue your legs too much.

IMO, unless you're trying to lose weight first and/or can't skate as often as you like, upper body strength training is all you need. Pumping transition is all the cardio and leg strength you need and basically everything else is core.

There were 2 flat, shallow ramps set up like

And I didn't leave until I could roll down both in a row
Thanks random guy, I bought some proper bearings on the way home and just installed them. My board no longer feels stuttery as I shift my weight around it.
I hope there's fewer people next time so I can use the larger flat areas to keep practicing not wobbling.

Trucks more narrow than your deck = having to lean less to turn
Trucks wider than your deck = having to lean more to turn
Some of my more techy friends will opt for smaller trucks because it lets them do quicker turns and adjustments. I keep mine flush with the rails of my deck though and it works well for me.

The majority of skate bearings are all the same pieces of shit from China. The cheaper bearings are all just" alright". When you finally try their Swiss bearings you'll notice an actual difference.
In this case just get another set of Reds like everyone does. If you want an actual upgrade get the Swiss. Buying the Super Reds or Race Reds or whatever else they sell will only be a marginal if not lateral move.

Some people might say El Sereno or Stoner but idrc about them and wasn't blown away. the best plaza in LA is probably Westchester- only because there are more doable stairs and ledges but it still has a big set on there too.

Hi anons. Is there anyone aware of bearings oils?
Picrelated is my belongings. May I apply Bones lubricant (right) for the Bronson ceramic kit (left) at a regular basis or worth it using oil of the same brand? The key word is "ceramic" which doesnt stand for my Bones speed cream product. There's lubricants produced by Bronson's - I haven't got ones yet.

As a mountain bike fag I recommend specific "ceramic safe" lube/grease here
Regular stuff may be fine or may not be fine, but that's your call
Shop around for ceramic grease, then compare the price with a new set of bearings and decide if it's worth it
Though I have no first hand experience with ceramic components because I'm too poor

Haha! Now there might be an assumption to get made that these oils are kinda versatile and may fit to every type of bearings whether they are ceramic or steel.
Btw I'm not even a skb riding fan. My passion is on usual unmotorized kick scooters – they use the same type of bearings. When I'm on the ride feel happy and free a lot. But even so there's risky chances to fall over the scooter when driving fast especially in the night – a moment of "extreme" so Ive come on the right board.
Thanks for you help anon! Get the rays of joy and fortune and be careful when riding down the mountain on your bike next time.

You don’t “fall”, you run out of your tricks when you’re skating ledges. For example on nose slides always watch your front foot so if you just land with your foot on the ledge you can hop right off.

It's a debate but instead of lining up parallel with the ledge for a 50, come at it a little more of an angle. In my experience, not only does it help lock a 50 in, but easier to pop out of since your weight will probably be leaned back a little more than locking it in parallel to the ledge.

How important are wheels? I think I bought my current wheels 15 years ago, I just never changed them, am I missing out on something? Will new wheels allow me to finally powerslide somewhat properly or help with noseslides or something? I felt a difference every time I changed something on my setup but somehow never considered changing my wheels. How do you pick yours? I skate transition and I'm getting into ledges

>I bought my current wheels 15 years ago
Either you skate like once a month for an hour max or you have the wheels they pulled out of the Roswell UFO crash.
You pick your wheels based on hardness and size.
Harder wheels = roll faster, don't bounce as much when you land, less grippy/able to slide more, can't deal with rougher terrain, cracks and stones as easily
Softer wheels = roll slower, bounce, grip more/can't slide easily, deals with rough terrain, cracks and stones easier
Small radius = takes less strength to push them at top speed but will retain that speed less, will get caught on cracks and stones easier, brings your deck closer to the ground so popping takes less moetiong
Larger radius = more strength to get to push to
top speed but will retain momentum better, will roll over cracks and stones easier, raises you deck so popping tricks takes more effort
For transition you'll want a bigger wheel for sure, then hardness is based on what kind of surface your ramp has. Wood = softer so you don't slip out, rough concrete = harder so you don't lose too much speed. For street you might want a smaller, harder wheel. Or you can just be like me and get a bigger harder wheel and do a bit of both.

>>132279
Thanks for the advice, I think I'll get medium hard wheels. I used to skate concrete spots but just moved someplace where the parks are wooden and slippery, eating shit on a miniramp several times in a row is what made me wonder about wheels.

Who even cares about the skateboard industry anymore? I buy $20 blanks off of eBay and design my own griptape and print it with Splattergoat. I haven't bought a pro model anything in I don't know how long. Most pro skateboarders are honestly douchebag gutterpunk freeloaders anyway, I don't care if that goes away. Nothing has been innovated in a worthwhile way in over 20 years, I could pull a 1999 skateboard out of the shrinkwrap and it would skate the same as what you buy now. Skateboarding died like 15 years ago as far as I care, I just do it because going to a gym to exercise is fucking homo bullshit.

I'm laughing because this was the norm when I was a kid. Post photo for nostalgia OP.
I bought two new sets on black friday. What matters I think is how hard they are. I got some really hard ones that slide nicely. I like them and powerslides and nose slides feel buttery. I can't do any blunts (would love to learn).
I also got a soft pair that I use on the haggard skateparks that are uncrowded. Also for cruising. They plow through bumps meanwhile the hard ones feel everything. But don't really slide.
I don't skate transition much but I think they have their own preferences, not too slidey and not too sticky.

That was my type of skating as a kid. You realise this is. An 'extreme' sport? One that attracts people addicted to the rush and addrenaline of doing reckless things? The satisfaction I'd get from doing something gnarly (for my skill level) was far greater than that I get from more difficult technical tricks.
I would compare it to riding a big barrel in a surfboard. Pure focus, time dilation, consequence and a hell of a rush.

Stiffness indicates that you just hoped to land, while swinging arms is a relaxed movement. Also, pros like Nyjah, Nick Dompierre, Kader, who have widely regarded as having great style, swing their arms. Torey Pudwill on the other hand, also Jeff Dechesare, are known for their weird style, and they are both stiff as hell, you fucking moron. You just lobbed retard at me because you are a defensive baby who can’t handle criticism. I call you a moron because you don’t know how to defend your own opinion other than by saying “nuh-uh I’m right”.

well, speed wobble is probably one of the most dangerous things in skating, and you can even get it with a bottom barrel bushing, it's just way more likely with a cone bushings. you might not have gotten it on a small hill, but eventually you will if you push your luck. there are tons of guys who have been skating for a long time, and still get fucked by speed wobble. it's something only hill bombers get really good at controlling. just remember that it's better to collapse and skid than to try and ride a wobble out and slam your head. hill bombing is the most common cause of death or serious injury in skating.

if you're a noob and want to start practicing going down hills, I'd advise you to start with some Ventures, and buy stiffer Doh-Doh bushings that match your weight. it's a hell of a lot more stable. hell, I ride ventures to this day despite my experience just because I love bombing hills and skating transition with little worry about getting smoked. the stock purple venture bushings do well for me, I can still turn good, and I'm 135lbs. I could probably bump up to Doh-Doh reds and sacrifice some turning for more stiffness. if you are heavier though, go with whites, and if you're much heavier, go with blacks. I remember when I was new to sakting back in the day, I would try different trucks every year or so, and you can definitely tell the difference when going down hills. got smoked a few times before I learned my lesson. luckily never hit my head but lost a lot of skin.
