Watching old Tony Hawk's Gigantic Skatepark Tours again ( https://youtu.be/RFTWG2KYIto?list=P
Videos from this era make me nostalgic as hell. Growing up in Ireland is seemed really far away and movie-like because that just wasn't a think here. Even mountain biking isn't hugely popular weirdly enough despite there being trails and whatnot.
It's also nuts to see guys like Kerry Getz on this when I only really remember him from the CKY videos. I know he's doing alright, but it's nuts how many people from that era went from being rockstars to basically nobodies, and then how many just became addicts and wasters from there.

Yeah, it's fucked. He seems like he didn't even know he had a problem.
>Mirra rarely talked about the long-term effects of his concussions, but in the final months of his life, they had become impossible to ignore. In conversation he’d get stuck on one topic, returning to it again and again, forgetting what he’d just said. He’d become moody, and emotionally fragile, breaking into tears in the middle of everyday conversation. To his wife and closest friends, he seemed lost and unable to put his finger on what was wrong.
>On the morning of February 4th, 2016, Mirra stopped in at a popular Italian eatery in his hometown of Greenville, North Carolina. He greeted a few friends, joked that he’d been out late the night before and, at 41, was getting too old for that. He then drove home, parked his truck in a friend’s driveway and shot himself in the head. He left no suicide note or explanation. At a press conference the next day, Allen Thomas, the mayor of Greenville and one of the last people to see Mirra alive, suggested repeated concussions might have caused Mirra’s death. “I just didn’t see how there were any other explanations,” Thomas says. “This was a guy who had everything going for him.”

is it? I constantly see it as 'tricks to do before an ollie' and 'easy trick' compilations for absolute beginners. I'm not saying it's actually easy to learn, but is it a hard trick, really? If you try to teach a newbie an ollie and a boneless, they will probably land a boneless first.

I learned ollies first and my bonelesses are terrible when I try them. Maybe people hate them so much because there's a million ways to do an ugly, bad boneless, but only a few ways to do a bad, ugly ollie. Same with no complies. I do not understand how people think they're easier then ollies. They're a little safer than ollies because you already have a foot down in case you fuck up, but the way you're supposed to bounce them off your leg and the herky jerky way you throw your weight around with them is way harder imo.

'hard to do well' and 'hard to learn' are not the same thing. I think an ollie is harder to learn (even though I also learned ollies first and still haven't done a decent boneless).

I honestly don't know how I'm still going. I could probably skate again tonight.
New tricks were:
>ollied up a curb for the first time (neglected this as there's no workable curbs near me/at my local park)
>smith stall
>pivot stall
>popped out over the coping onto the deck for the first time
Mostly just things that weren't very hard but just took extra confidence to commit to. Would like to pop out and rock back in next.
Then the rest were things I've done before but either never that cleanly or not in months. Shit like fakie 360 pivots on a bank. They're not impressive but god they feel so nice to get cleanly.

I had a similar problem with a fall onto my back that gave me sciatica. Was out for months worrying that I'd perma fucked myself over. Started getting worried cause every time I goggled the symtoms I kept seeing a bunch of people online saying they have been suffering for years and how it never gets better and they were basically crippled. Then I found a random YT video with a bunch of stretches and holds to help with back pain and I had immediate improvement with just one session. Few weeks later I was back on the board. Never felt so relieved.

there is nothing worse than getting shinned by a runaway board. not even a hard slam. that shit can sideline you for a couple of weeks. I had a goose egg the size of a golfball with a gash in the middle once. that fucker had me limping for damn near a month. if someone's board has razor tail and hits you, it's even worse.

I bought a pair and they sucked. After 3 Ollie's there was a hole and after that I was tearing a hold in my sock so I stopped skating them. I wear them as casual shoes sometimes but even after a long walk there was a hole developing in the sole too. From there I relegated them to my work shoes but one day I stepped in a puddle, the holes let my foot get soaked and I came down with pneumonia. I tried to throw them out after that but the material was apparently toxic and I got fined by my local council for disgarsing toxic waste.
Honestly, I'd just stick with skate brands.

what size is the board? also, prebuilt vompletes often have really soft bushings meant for really light people(like teens) so you might want to get some stiffer bushings. bushings that are WAY too soft can make it much harder for a beginner to learn to skate because they require even finer motor skills and balance, and you can easily get wheelbite and fall. the only real downside to prebuilt complets is that they have lower tier/quality trucks. this doesn't really matter much for skating around, only durability when doing serious grings and jumping down shit. other than that, they're fine. the wheels and bearings also aren't top shelf or anywhere near, but that's much less of an issue.

nike dunks and blazers are the worst skate shoes I've ever tried. not sure how they got so popular. I remember back around 2007-2011 when they made their peak "debut" and everyone was skating them. I had two pairs of each, and they were literally the worst shoes for skating. other people in my circle said the same, but continued buying them because they were popular and had lots of colorways. I and other people I knew got hurt skating them. dunks for example, have shit tier grip on the bottom and the side. often times you had to "tame" your ollies down or your foot would just shoot off the end of the board if you really tried to bone one out. also, they were slippery when trying to run up ramps and shit. I remember at school on rainy days, I would almost eat shit if I didn't walk slow, it was like you were on ice. Blazers on the other hand, have extremely shit support on the side of the shoes. it's almost as if the material is a pillow case, it just collapses with any movement. high tops are no better. you could easily roll your ankle with blazers on. I had to stop skating them very early on because of this. it's not just me either, I know multiple people that felt this way, and even one guy(who is a pro and has been since like 2015, who actually broke his ankle in nikes and blamed it on the shoes for the same reasons I listed.

it's all down to personal preference. actually matters more about shoe size, because you don't want to feel like you're riding a skinny 2x4. I'm 5ft11, but I wear size 9.5 shoes, so I still prefer an 8.0 deck. 8.25 is a good size though.

Not much experience with this other than accidentally stepping in a puddle or on wet grass..
But now that you mention it, it does get slippery.
It seems pretty waterproof though (water doesn't seem to soak in),
so at least it dries quickly, and you can probably just wipe it dry with a paper towel or something if need be.

It's definitely not as grippy as normal grip tape, but I've always preferred a slightly less grippy board anyway.
Feels totally normal to me now though.
I used to always take an offcut corner and wear in a new sheet of grip tape a bit before skating it.
If you're the type that skates MOB or something though you might not like it.

20+ years, but still not that good. Stepped away from it for a few years in my 20s.
I can kickflip up a curb or over a hip, and do bs flips and tre flips on flat or over small gaps.
Still can't fs flip after all these years.
Have a few grinds and slides on lock, and a few simple tranny tricks.

Fair enough. I live in the desert so even when it's hot as balls, sweat evaporates quick and doesn't really get my board wet like that.
I visited FL once though and would start pouring sweat as soon as I stepped on the board. Could see it being a problem.

Yeah, no, buying shoes over and over even if you can technically afford them is a pain in the ass.
Not sold on rubber grip though. Not sold on basically any new skate "technology". Unless flight decks become affordable, boards have essentially stayed the same my whole life.

Modern epoxies were a game-changer.
90s decks would get mushy as shit after a few weeks of hard skating, and would start to delaminate if they got even a little bit wet.
My old ass remembers fishtail boards and 64 mm vert wheels, the giant pants and tiny wheels of the early 90s, and boomers calling street skating a fad.

not sure it's the same thing, but I had a problem for a long time of being too scared to put "too much" pressure on the tail for fear of slipping out if I overdid it. This meant I was shitting up ollies and generally had poor weight distribution. All I did to start correcting it was practice a lot of manuals and tail stops/tail stalls to build confidence with having more weight on my back foot.

Okey as someone who comes from snowboarding I have probably a stupid question to ask.
Why are not symmetrical skateboards more of an thing? I have almost 2 decades in snowboarding and only recently started to dabble with skateboards and I have no idea how skaters can deal with their board not being symmetrical specially when you are not just limited riding switch but you can also have the board backwards.
I understand that you may want to have tail for Ollie and nose for flips but if you can perform them as fakies surely it would make sense to have something in between and not have to worry which way your board lands.
Anonymous at Fri, 10 Feb 2023 22:36:27 UTC No. 135522
>>135510
Even if your board is symmetrical you're still going to end up having one side which your prefer riding as the tail/nose or whatever because of your trucks. I ride my back truck a little looser than my front truck and i also have a big groove in it which helps for locking into grinds, while my front truck is pretty smooth and a little tighter.

The physics of doing an ollie vs. a nollie is just different.
When you nollie, the momentum is working against you and makes everything happen slightly faster, so you need a longer kick with a steeper angle to give you more time.
With a short / shallow nose, your popping foot hits the ground much faster when rolling backwards and makes it hard to get good pop.
You can feel the difference (I can anyway) when doing fakie ollies vs nollies.
Fakie ollies need to be popped much more quickly, so it's hard to get good power into it.
I can personally get much more height out of a nollie, even though it's technically a "switch" trick and fakie ollies are "regular"
Another good comparison to feel the difference is fakie shuvs vs nollie shuvs.

I skate a twin tail board. A good few brands do them. It's handy to be able to throw your board down either way and get the same performance, plus they get razor tail/wear a lot slower.

>truck leaning issue
Do you mean the idea that one truck breaks down differently than the other? I've literally never had this issue across different sets of bushings and no one can explain to me how one truck can break down differently to the other if you skate the board equally on both sides. If not for the graphic, you literally couldn't tell which end was "up"/which truck was the front one. It skates 100% the same both directions. There's a 50/50 flip of the coin when I throw it down as to which side it happens to land on and it just evens out.

it literally doesn't matter if you don't think about it. it feels "similar enough" to not notice unless you make a habit of intentionally turning the board around when it's "the wrong way."
>>135557
are your trucks really tight or something? instead of tightening your trucks to make them stiffer, buy the proper bushings for your desired feel, that way you don't really have to tighten them down, which crushes the bushings and makes them prematurely take a shit.

I guess it's like tire alignment in a car. When I push my board with no one one it, it goes to the left. Ive been through many trucks and bushings and it always ends up like this.
I don't even know if I like that. So if it evens out that's kinda another bonus.

That's normally down to your bushings or pivot cup sticking. A bit of oil in the pivot cup and messing with the tightness of the kingpin should fix that. My board will normally just stick to whatever side I last turned into.

Tighten/loosen the trucks. You could also try rotating the bushings 90 degrees and see if that makes a difference. But they might just need to break down a bit more.

random question, but hoping maybe a millennial in here can help me. I know they stopped making alot of the skating shoe styles they had in the 90a and early 2000s, those nice puffy and cushiony skate shoes, and have gone for much slimmer designs these days. I can't seem to wear any of them, they feel extremely narrow and pushing up on the side of my foot (the arch?) I noticed it happens with alot of other type of shoes these days, the boosts, nikes, NB etc. Did people's feet get narrower or something? I've had to return every DC shoes I've ordered for the same issue. Reebok seem to be quite wide at the but I haven't seen any skate type shoes by them yet.

Interesting article. My local shop pretty much says the same thing; couldn't get enough hardware when people took up skating in Covid, wound up with too much when the restrictions ended.
It actually makes me wonder how the fuck a shop opened in my home town in the mid 2000s. It probably had a population of 35,000 back then, with the entire county having something like 125,000. It wasn't a fantastic place to skate, there were no parks (they campaigned to get one built, it took the council TEN years and by then the shop was long gone), the Irish weather was shit, and skating wasn't all that popular in the area outside of a few hardcore heads. I bought a grand total of one deck and one vhs from there, and one of the guys running it fucking HATED having people hang around without buying stuff.

The easiest grab is just whatever is using your dominant hand. For me i'm goofy and right handed so it's a melon grab.

>which is the easiest grab trick
Nose. You can do it from ollies and with any sort of kickturn. I can basically just tap my board from an ollie, but hopefully some day I can get the height for an airwalk.
>ant to learn melon grabs but I'm not really comfortable reaching down and touching my board
Do early grabs on transition. For melons you can do a sort of backside kickturn on a ramp, but early grab and yank it into the air so you can do a full 180 without your wheels touching the ramp. Do wide turns/carves into them to start off so you don't have to spin so much in the air, but aim to go straight up, 180 early grab, and straight down and you'll feel comfortable grabbing your board by then. Take it to banks, kickers and hips. Try doing them into fakie, higher, faster, etc. They're not the most elegant type of grab, but they're easy and fun and can get you some actual height at speed. Try them from ollies soon after. Maybe try the same for indies but while turning or carving frontside.

How good are the dragon wheels? Do they help with small pebbles? I have very 52mm 100a's and they just stop from smallest of pebbles on hard concrete. I was contemplating about getting softer wheels but, maybe the dragons would help.
Where I live they spread gravel to sidewalks during winter. They sweep it away at spring but there is always some pebbles that get left behind.
During winter they even make it inside at the bottom of the shoes at it really pisses me off.

Supposedly they are very good, on rougher ground. On anything smooth they just feel kind of slow and gummy, or at least this is what everyone at my shop says. I haven't tried them yet.
If you skate mostly rough spots and a little bit smooth you'll like them
If you skate mostly smooth spots but only a few rougher spots every now and then, you probably won't like them

I honestly love /esg/ and I think they're the best skateboarding threads on the internet. Even though they're full of mundane arguments and autists who do weird things like switch their wheels for different terrain or replace their grip tape regularly. It's what skateboarding discussion should be. You run into shit like what you see here all the time if you actually go out and skate.
One time some dude kept me sidelined for half an hour going into the minutiae of his bearings.

Well the good skater was last, that's why. Anyways, it's a ledge at a basketball court. There's like 2-3 dudes on the court, not even a full game. Plenty of space between the ledge and the court. Lil bro bails some slide trick and his board slowly rolls onto the cort near the dude. Doesn't even touch him or bother him at all. He grabs it, starts slamming it against the ledge without saying anything. Then throws it over a fence. And he looked like the type of person that watches tranny porn. Just a fucking weirdo.

This has nothing to do with your retardedass reply >>136971. A reply to me saying that the best skater goes last and if you think the video is shit you can just skip there. Dumb ESL.

I haven't skated in about 10 years but I'm going to start again soon (still snowing where I live). Definitely not excited to look like a noob but I really miss the lifestyle. I also want a way to get exercise that I actually enjoy. Wish me luck anons

Just be careful to not get injured. Warm up well. Don't fuck around in the rain. Careful with wax. Make sure you work on mobility if you've spent 10 years sedentary. Don't wear vans. Don't buy expensive bearings. Jessup > MOB. Board graphic over shape and brand. Stay away from tranny skaters. Just the basics.

I'm starting to wonder if the reason these threads get so many dumb arguments is because some of you are just ESL retards that misinterpret everything.

How to skateboard without sending money to china?
Are thunders still made in US?
Are Swiss bearings actually made in Switcherland? are there cheaper alternatives?
Which blanks are liveleak free?
And hardware, pushings to grip tape etc etc, which are the companies to avoid if you want to skate without supporting child/slave labor.
