I said i would learn fs ollies for my new years resolution so here i am, practicing on my friend's mini ramp. I can literally barely ollie on flat btw.
Also i only slo-mo'd it because it was hard to see, not because i think it's super sick or anything.

youre doing well so far. if your goal is to eventually fly above the coping though you will have to put your front foot further back and ollie higher on a ramp like this that has no vert. You basically need to ollie far out enough that you don't clip the coping on the way back down. doing higher ollies on flat will help too

Ok sick. Yeah my goal is to be able to do big ones over hips and in mini ramps so you're definitely right that i will need to start ollieing out further. Weirdly enough it feels way more natural to me to do them in transition than it does on flat. Right now i could ollie up a curb but that's about it.
I also like the old school vert ollies people do where they don't really pop and they just scoop it out of the ramp, like jason jesse style

back in the day, there was this one chick that would come to the skatepark every once in awhile. it was the only chick that ever actually came there and skated. she could do basic shit like 180s and kickflips. the thing was... she had these MASSIVE tits. I'm not even joking. She had a normal build, but MASSIVE tits. this honestly made it hard for her to skate. you could tell that she had a very high center of gravity, and it made he fall a lot. simple shit like ollies over the hip, she would just fall forward when she landed, about every other try. naturally, all the boys would watch her and laugh amongst themselves because of her comically large tits. the second she would slam hard, right on those jugs, the place would erupt in laughter. I'm honestly surprised she kept coming back. nobody ever had the nuts to talk to her for some reason, I guess the jugs were intimidating to young teen boys. I often wonder what she's doing these days, if she still skates. nobody was really ever laughing at her skating, just her tits. poor girl had a genetic handicap when it came to skating.

Man, there's this one girl who skates at my local. She doesn't have comedically large tits, but she's pretty skinny otherwise so they look big in comparison. But the main thing is that she skates in a sort of bra tanktop thing with no support and every time she pops a trick her boobs jiggle around like she's a video game character. It's so hard not to stare.

Fucks sake, I ended up watching that video in the end while I worked.
TL;DR:
>"The Hyphenate" a general media guy who does videos and music and whatnot with a channel were he posts games and streams and blah blah, connects with Berra during the pandemic and gets friendly with him
>Berra says "yeah man, we should totally do a podcast/videos/lots of stuff together....but look dude, the Berrics doesn't really make any money *hint hint*"
>guy goes off and spends $10k of his own money on this project, later gets sponsors to help further fund it.
>sponsors want X amount of videos on Y days, runs this past Berra, Berra says "that sounds great lets do it!"
>wants to do a gaming show, Berra says he can get some veteran pros like Hawk of Thomas on as a guest, fails to actually do that, gets mad when the guy tries to do it himself, pushes fucking SkateGoat on him instead
>guy goes ahead with things, uploads videos to the Berrics channel, Berra flips out "WHO SAID YOU COULD DO THIS"
>misses deadlines, sponsors mad
>Berra is basically being a flip floppy bitch the entire time, constantly pretending he didn't see emails, say the things he said, makes constant childish excuses as to why he's not doing his part in organising or paying for shit
I will say that buddy was dumb to do ANYTHING without a contract in the beginning, but Jesus Christ I will never stop finding new things to hate Berra for. He's such a fucking cheap, lazy, childish liar who acts like a parasite to the naïve good will of his fans.
Also, insider news here because fuck it, I know for a fact that the reason last years BatB took so long was because he refused to pay for Jaime Griffin and Jonny Giger's flights to LA but wouldn't outright say it definitively for months and wouldn't respond to them when they chased him on it. Jaime's sponsors ended up paying (at least some of it) out of their own pocket, and I can imagine a lot of other people dropped out of the contest because of this kind of attitude.

Jamie Griffin is cringe as fuck. Skates slow, shit style, only does goofy flip tricks and stuff on inconsequential obstacles. Cringe fits and attitude. His instagram profile pic is him doing a looksmax facial expression. There's that sob story about how he couldn't skate in Ireland due to the weather so he just did flip tricks in his garage or whatever yet people in the PNW, New England and the UK deal with similar weather yet still actually learn to skate parks and street.
Pretty obvious why the broader skate community ignores him.

It's honestly weird how little impact it's had on his career beyond a couple small sponsors. I think how they streamed the finale was a big part of it. Honestly the whole BatB was a dragged out mess that went on so long it killed its own hype.
I think he (and the rest of the Hop guys) need an actual video part this year.
>>132663
Jamie skates street in London now, you're talking shit. And no, PNW and the UK at large are not the same as Donnegal, Ireland. London had nice infrastructure and months of hot, dry summer. Donnegal isn't just rain 99% of the time, it's also a severely weather beaten, remote, rural part of Ireland largely forgotten by the rest of the country when it comes to shit like so much as repaving roads. Americans really just can't conceive of not having fresh roads and curbs everywhere they go.

And yeah when your country isn't a welfare state like NI you can actually have things like curbs... crazy innit

Aside from the fact that was all shot during covid and well before BatB even started and he's levelled up since then, and that he hits many a larger set in that video, so what? The tricks he's doing down those small sets are techy and clean as fuck.
>They have a pre-fab skatepark in Donnegal
No they don't. There is no skatepark there at all. The nearest one is in Derry.
>oohhh no Jamie needs to do triple 720 flips on the carpet in his shed.
Yes. Even if there was a park, why is this an issue? That's what he likes to do. It's why he's been the first person to land a tonne of weird flip tricks. That's his thing.
>a welfare state like NI
Donegal isn't in NI you fuckwit, it's part of the Republic. And again, so what if it was a "welfare state"? "Hurr durr your country is poor that's why you're bad".
>>132672
>he makes youtube videos rofl
Yes. And Instagram. He lives off it. People buy his deck and the clothes he promos because they see him with them in his videos. He won a huge international tournament. That's being pro.
Look man, if you just don't like whacky flatground flip tricks that's fine, it's not my favourite type of skating either. But you've been factually wrong multiple times already and you clearly don't know what you're talking about. I see him skate in person every few weeks and I know for a fact he's only getting better and more diverse each time. I don't understand how people can be so retarded to see someone do a specific style of skating to a degree literally no one else does, watch that skater sweat fucking buckets in the process, and think "well it's not this other kind of skating I like so it's shit actually".

Calibros I recently heard about this skatepark in La Crescenta - maybe you guys have heard about it, but it looks fucking sick and it looks like a nice blend of street and tranny and its not too far from us I think this would be the best place for a bigger /esg/ meetup when the weather gets better. it does look like it gets crowded with scooter kids from what ive seen on youtube but maybe it would be best to do a morning anyways since it would probably be less crowded and I know some of you like Dadbro prefer mornings and its basically equidistant from all of us.

ngl, here is pretty chill. the city lack proper skateparks (a new one is being built, props to the olympics), but we have a lot of private/semi-private bowls here. Pedro Barros lives here and he does a lot of the local scene, he and his families are really "og" when it comes to skate culture here. Also a place full of hills, so downhill skate was huge in the 80s/90s around here. street scene is very lacking but growing, can't blame them, really hard to even find a decent flat ground here to skate, other brazilian capitals are MUCH better in that aspect (thats why the only great skaters to came out of my city are park/vert/downhill ones, not a single street).

there's plenty of things in the world that not everyone gets to experience, simply because of geolocation.
it hurts to think that we're deprived of certain things just because of where we exist on this planet.
you still get to share your thoughts and opinions with people online, and live vicariously through their alternative realities.
you have many interesting things in your area that we don't have as well.

The problem with slap is that, like reddit, you get upvoted for saying how good troon skaters are and banned when you say anything bad about them. There are plenty of people on slap with normal views of the world but they just don't participate in those conversations because they have nothing good to say, especially not about some serial killer lookalike troon

Sorry, typo. Meant to say "behind your heel where you CAN'T see it". I had a habit of putting my back foot down too soon and either just clipping the side of the board and not landing it, or BARELY getting my heel on, usually with a toe drag.
Landing like normal shuvs, ollies, or 180s was fine because I can always see where my feet are going to land, but a front shuv and kickflip is a bit blind.
Anyway, point is that learning different tricks informs how to land that one you've been struggling with. I tend to get a lot of tips from really experienced skaters who have fundamental shit like this so down pat that they don't really think about it, and they say useless shit like like "full send" or "just commit" when my balance and comfort is still way off.

So true, you gotta ask average dudes for tips or people who look like they only just learn it
I've had kids ask me how to do basic shit in transition like 5-0s or 50-50s and I basically can't help them other than saying loosen your trucks. On the other side of this I've asked the local park ripper for tips on more complicated tricks like back smiths and it's just like 'bro just lean back into it', like yeah thanks lol

That and getting tips from someone who can look at your attempts and spot what you're doing wrong rather than just telling you what the trick basically is. And/or someone that gives you the steps you should build upon to get the feeling of different tricks down (someone showed me how to do backside reverts by having me nudge the board heelside -> nudge a manual heelside -> do a kickturn -> do both together) and it took all of 5 minutes to get it. People like that are invaluable.
If someone asks me for tips I ask them to give me a couple of attempts so I can spot where the issue is first. Sometimes it's a something like "hang your arm forward so your weight is more over the nose" and sometimes it's telling them to try an easier, related trick first.

Sick, what tricks can you do backside reverts out of? I'm assuming you mean in transition, right? I like doing front tail to back revert, but i can't do it on anything over than a 3ft ramp. I don't get how people do back reverts on big ramps, it's insane. Once there is over a foot of vert it stops making sense to me how it would be possible to land it

And yeah, most likely. A complete from a decent skate brand (just look at any random skateshop's website for options) is a good option too. You can just replace the parts piece by piece over time. Anything like pic related is pure dogshit and would be like trying to learn to drive a car without seats and the wheels might fall off and it can only turn part of the way and there are no mirrors.
In general a board that's under $100 is going to be shit, probably make you hate skating, and will break in a matter of days, forcing you to now spend even more money.

The key is to wait for sitewide sales. places like skatewarehouse often have really heavy discounts (up to 20% off) and you can snag a custom built complete for right at $100. deck doesn't matter as much honestly because that's what wears out eventually anyways. getting a good set of wheels like some formula 4s in 54mm will last a long time, so even though they can be more expensive, they last long.

I got a new deck and also cut my old deck into a cruiser board for my girl to mess around on and put some OJ wheels on.
The old deck was the exact same shape as the new one. I cut about 2.5 inches off the nose, made the tail a little narrower and moved the front trucks back about 1.5 inches. I took it for a cruise on the street earlier and it's super fun.

I know that is the perception but I think it's maybe wrong. Quite a few of the full lengths of the last few years have easy over 500k views. You would have to assume that those are mostly core skaters too. Compare that to a quick edit and sure some get a quick million, but how many of those views are core skaters vs casual fans. And how many casual fans actually spend money on skate gear? I know a guy who skates the same board he bought 6 years ago. And I can only assume he is the type of person who these shorter vids are targetted for.
Even nowz that real vid is on 75k. 3 days is old in YouTube land, it might double that over the next few months, but I doubt it's going to get over 500k. But I reckon if they released a full length it would.
Maybe I'm talking out my ass tho

Agreed. I think full lengths are a real craft that goes beyond just putting a bunch of standalone parts into one big sequence. It's like how a purpose made album where all of the songs are written and ordered in a way where they flow and counterpoint with each other compares to a Greatest Hits selection of singles across the bands entire career feels.
People blame zoomers for not having an attention span but I'd say that skate video editors are as much (if not more) to blame for not knowing how to keep people's attention. And yeah, the good ones DO get views. Problem is that some full lengths are just plain tiring to watch and are bloated beyond fuck with either b-side skating, too much of the same shit, or antics that go on way too long.

i like ps stix and the shop that crailtap uses, the boards are a bit flimsy and have nice flex. i dislike bbs, those boards are durable, but are too stiff for my liking. i havent used other woodshops enough to have an opinion, and ps stix is my favorite for sure.

Riding a BBS deck now and it feels flimsy compared to my last board. I swear I've almost snapped it doing flatground. Heard a big crack from the tail on an Ollie over a hip.
Idk if it's shorter wheelbase or the wood.

for me they feel like this
BBS, tough and durable, they feel like a classic skateboard, they wear out evenly and exactly like you would expect them to. but for whatever reason sometimes their plies are thicc so your deck is kind of heavy and clunky. i don't like those. picking through at a shop is best. i swear there are some crummy decks that go out that maybe shouldn't
PS, boards start out amazing, but then after a couple weeks they seem to feel a tad soft and flexy. i feel like they wear out faster, or at least it seems that way, because when they're new they feel so great.
Dwindle, these boards are extremely stiff, and strangely enough they continue to feel stiff. light feeling too. i guess its that super epoxy they use. these boards almost feel unnatural, people either love or hate them. my friend said their decks feel "synthetic" which is a great way to put it. they unironically have a great warranty in place if anything weird happens to them.
Clutch, these are so stinky, i'd rather not ride them. they are noticeably not very good.
the Chinese thing Girl/Chocolate uses, i really like these. i think it's called Dulong or some shit.
there's a bunch of other smaller woodshops and those range from bretty gud or just so-so

That sucks to hear. I just did some research and saw my old favourite decks were chapman wood which shit down and now gets Kutch wood. Haven't tried personally since but am curious.
I think I went from dwindle to BBS, I preferred the dwindle deck.

London here (different Anon) but they're really coming for the indoor parks here. House of Vans closed in December, an indoor one across town is on the chopping block, and it seems like Barking might eventually close too.

I know that they have to pay rent on the building because it's usually privately owned, but if they can build outdoor city parks, I don't understand why they can't make indoor city parks, or atleast build shelters over the outdoor parks. there is nothing but outdoor parks here now, and it rains all the time so they're useless unless if you don't live close enough to sakte them when it's dry. we had three different indoor parks in the early 2000s, and they stayed busy on the weekends, but eventually closed down. I basically grew up in one like a daycare.

I think building shelter for outdoor parks is just too expensive and probably has some zoning balls tied to it that make it technically illegal. The best are parks build beneath overpasses because it's really undesirable land for most purposes and is a way to keep them clean/free from criminal activity.
What's really annoying is that there's one "outdoor" park near Tower Bridge called White Ground, but despite being entirely sheltered by a trainline above it, all of the drainage for that line leaks in there and it's unskatable even in light rain.

Fuck man I desperately need to learn some new tricks that aren't 50-50, 5-0 or Smith. What's another good trick to do in transition that's easy and flowy?

I assume the last one will get better with practice. But why am I rolling so slow? Everyone else zooms past me and if I get both feet on the board I can barely ride that far before it slows down a lot. Does it need to wear in or something?

are you using a board you got from a place like Walmart or Target?

it's a cheapo Element board I got on sale, which to my understanding is kinda shitty but not walmart tier. if it's the board that's fine, I'll just keep practicing

if you got those element bearings they should still be ok. You do kinda gotta wear them in a little but also if you're skating at a skatepark you gotta learn how to ride the ramps and transitions. If you're not flowing with those ramps and just standing straight up with your arms out , you're not gonna get any speed on those.

okay, that's good to know, thanks dude. I've only ridden it a couple times so I guess they'll wear in a bit. I haven't been to the skate park, I'm straight up just trying to get comfortable riding it around first. I took it to my campus a couple times cause I'm in college right now, I kinda feel retarded compared to everyone else though but I'll keep at it and hopefully throw some tricks in in the next few weeks

Try tighten the trucks if it's hard to balance

It depends what terrain you're riding on and what wheels you're using. Maybe the board needs maintenance? If you bought it on sale, maybe it's been sitting in a shop for years?
I started skating recently as well. Finding it hard to get over that self concious feeling. Usually go out at night when no one is about.

The trucks were really loose when I first got it and people told me to tighten them, so I did, but frankly, it makes it harder to turn. When they were loose I had a hard time balancing but I stayed on the board. With them tightened, I actually end up having to step off the board when I lose balance. Am I retard or what? I kinda want to loosen them back up honestly.
>>134746
my campus has a lot of brick and shit in some places so that doesn't help, I still feel slow on flat concrete paving though. What kinda maintenance do you think it needs?
> Finding it hard to get over that self concious feeling
yeah, I feel totally retarded trying to learn while in public. I'd try practicing at home but I'm broke and live in an apartment complex with fucked up asphalt and dirt paths and shit so there's nowhere to skate so the only times I can practice are when I'm on campus for school so people are always there. I kinda wish I could tape a page to my back that says new skater so people realize that he looks like a retard cause he just started and not cause he's just a clumsy idiot
