I bought an 8.6" deck and 149 indie trucks like a retard when i first got into skating and realized its way too big. would it be retarded to get like an 8" or 8.25" deck and use it with the same 149 indie trucks or would it cause problems?

on an 8 inch deck they're reaching too wide territory

One of the most popular fucking skateboard faggots is a furry. Hes famous for talking shit and being a furry faggot. How do kids see this as okay? Is it just all child fans who dont know better?? who the fuck watches that boney faggot talk and cry?? i see you homosexual dick suckers dick ride him so much like ooh i just listened to his 1hour fucking video talking about other men.
inb4 he gets arrested for child rape in the next 2 years top
skateboarding youtubers' only fans are children you just cant let a grown ass man whos attected to animals and fursuits be around children. Those are not normal urges and lead to other worse acts of lust.

Finished watching it tonight. It's fucking sick. Kinda wish I hadn't seen so much of it on Thrasher already, but the first half (where most of the "new" sections are) is amazingly edited.

I hate to be such a weeb, but Japanese street skaters are just different. Their trick bags and obstacles are all weird as fuck and they make old school tricks look techy as fuck. I'm going for the first time in November and I really hope I can squeeze in a few days to skate Tokyo and Osaka.


>>138503
What the other guys said; learn how to fall/kneeslide. Other than that, just focus on pumping and carving in every direction for now. There's not a lot to say about it if you already know how to pump up and down a halfpipe, it just takes a while to develop the sense for it.

I've had two helmets: a standard Protec one and a Triple 8 Sweatsaver. The Protec one eventually just fell apart despite not taking any real impacts (the glue holding the outer shell to the foam inner just disintegrated) and was mostly a piece of ill fitting shit. The Triple 8 has been MUCH better so far. Feels way sturdier, is better padded and comes with a swappable pad so you can adjust to your head size. Definitely wish I'd saved my money and just got this one first.

Hey man if I were coming to the beach and I didn't want to drive more than 15 mins away from the campground I probably wouldn't even bother skating. West park has the best obstacles - it has a flat bar, and a manual pad. Both obstacles have shitty run-ups and the rest of the park is fucked to skate. Also West park is the closest one to Emma Wood. All 3 skateparks in Ventura are similarly designed and they are all pretty worthless.

Ojai is 25 mins away and super fun. That's where I usually skate. It's also a nice place to take your lady for shopping/food if she's into that kinda thing.

Carpenteria skatepark is in the process of being built and would only be about 10 mins away from you... but all this rain is stopping them from being able to pour the concrete. Oh well, hopefully when you come to the beach in summer it'll be done and we can have some sessions there. It's going to be a sick park.

Regardless if you want to meet up for a quick skate at West park or Ojai (if you can make the drive) let me know and I'll come and hang out.

Firstly, do not give up anon. Never. It happens. Kickflips are an especially pesky trick.
Secondly, if you film yourself you will be able to study your technique.
What will usually happen is like this, if your front foot is not catching the board or landing underneath, then the problem is your flicking technique.
If only your back foot is not getting on the board, then this is a matter of pure commitment, and actually jumping up and with the board to land on top of it.
I believe in you anon.

I'm still a beginner so i was trying to sw heelflip and after 4 tries of the board flipping perfectly and not committing I went all in and the board landed primo, my left heel landed on the wheel then slipped and my toe fell into the ground. I read online that stage 1 ankle sprains( which is what I assume i have, but i have not seen a doctor) take 1-2 weeks to heal but mine is almost fine, It only hurts slightly when I flick my ankle inwards as fast as i can, as of yesterday my foot is still slightly swollen but i can feel and the bones underneath the skin now .

dumb noob question - when you ollie into a grind or stall or whatever, let's say 5050 for example, do you do exactly the same kind of motions you would if you were to just pop one on flat or going over something etc. or is it slightly different? I want to try to ollie into a 5050 or boardslide, but I feel like it's going to be impossible to land in a grind and keep my balance. Not sure if that's just a confidence thing or whether I just need to get better ollies or what.

Anonymous No. 139227

>>139215
you do a regular ollie but you gotta also shift your shit to the ledge so you can get on and balance it out. Its not a super hard trick or anything. I would say you wouldn't even need big ollies down you just need to have very good control of the ollies you do have. If your ollies are fucked and uneven and your feet come off the board, work on those things first.

You pretty much do them like normal and anticipate the shift in weight with your upper body (so you lean a little bit forward for a grind or slide so that you do whip out backwards). That's assuming you land your usual ollies with equal pressure on either side and don't land too off centre.

Probably best to start off with little 5050 stalls onto curbs then work up to little grinds.

Yeah, I've only ever heard them called pivots when they're on the coping. I know it should technically be considered a different trick given you're using your trucks instead of your wheels, but there you go. 5-0s need to be held, pivots are one motion. Some people find them harder than 5-0s, but you can do them around the same time as learning any kind of truck stall or grind.

Fakie 360 is sick though.

How was everyone's weekend? Got a couple small wins, skated with my pals, went to the jam at Hop King. My boomer might be showing, but I genuinely cannot believe how far skating has come in the last 15 years. People were consistently pulled out video-tier shit all night at the jam. Younger people don't know how fucking good they are.

Are any old skaters in awe like I am?

To avoid hang ups when you're learning to skate pool coping try doing grinds that are more of a long sweeping grind instead of an up and down pivot. And if you get to the point where you're getting on top of the coping then remember you have to lean way further back than you're used to so the weight is off your front truck and it doesn't catch. Also having bigger wheels like 56mm+ helps. Wearing pads and a helmet gives you confidence too, I wear them when trying new tricks although I think my style is better without them so I've been trying to go without them more often

I did jujutsu and taijutsu for years where the first degree of both was learning how to roll in every conceivable way. I can still do it automatically from standing.

Unfortunately, a skateboard is a moving object that's subject to different kinetic forces and your body is never in a martial arts stance in the moments where you're going to eat shit. You're also usually on a ramp or some other weird, non-dojo like surface, moving at speed, meaning trying to roll on it like it's a level mat will most likely lead to you doing something like shoulder tackling into the ramp. Rolling out of a bail is completely different to ukemi.


The main way to learn how to bail safely is to wear pads and make it an instinct to get low for landings, then just fall naturally into the bail either onto your pads, your thighs or your butt. That's all there really is to it.

if you learn how to bail with pads, then you're opening the doors to being a full-time pad-fag. You can't do shit like knee slides or landing on your elbows without pads on.
If you're starting out with no pads , you're learning what you don't want to hit and adjusting yourself little by little so that you fall in ways that protect those parts the pads would protect, and learning to fall on spots that maybe hurt less or not at all.

No you fucking don't. Knee sliding on street or doing the basic shit starting out is a dumb, impractical, unnatural way to fall because (unless you're somehow going super fast, which you're not) you'll come to a dead stop and flop forward. You likewise don't purposefully land on your elbows because, surprise, it still hurts. The pads are there for when you, as a beginner, DON'T bail properly and wind up slamming into the ground uncontrolled, so that you don't fuck yourself up more than normal.
And for the billionth time; it's not like you can't bail properly with pads on. I don't know why you faggots think that having pads on means you do professional wrestling elbow and knee drops when you fall over. You're still going to figure out/try to roll out of a fall on flat.


>muh steez
Motherfucker, beginners don't have steez. You look like shit starting out no matter what, and I'd even say you look like a poser trying to fake steez when you can barely push. A beginner with pads is something that wants to skate as much as physically possible.

I think if you're just learning you should probably wear a helmet and maybe elbow pads but avoid knee pads because those are the ones that might make you form a habit of dropping to your knees when bailing. Don't start wearing them until you're trying to skate big transition and it's simply safer to kneeslide than run out of something. That's just my 2c as a guy who wears pads sometimes. I have definitely dropped to my knees for a kneeslide when I wasn't wearing pads and it sucks big time.

- Whatever griptape, usually Mob or Jessup
- some decent skate shoes on sale from a local shop or online store
- A skate tool to set the board up (optional)

You can't go wrong with this as a standard beginner set up and it should cost you in the region of 150-200 dollary doos/ GBP/Euros/whatever with some room to account for conversion rates.

Not everyone here is still stuck on learning how to roll on the sidewalk. It is something you don't even think about, you don't need tips about this, it is second nature. When posters talking about wearing full pads to roll down the street it is an alien concept.

The people who started skating yesterday and the posters that have been doing this for several years can not relate to each other anymore. These threads are a mess, because some posters are too grumpy with the newer skaters, but the new posters are so incredulous and inexperienced that they believe they need a serious guidebook on doing literally everything.

Look, I'm just saying that if you want to wear pads because you don't want to risk injuring yourself while you learn how to bail, fucking wear them and stop listening to teenagers who think you don't look "steezy" enough. Anything to get you back on your board sooner rather than later. If you can't be bothered, fine that's your choice, but as a beginner you already look like a dork pads or not.
These days I pretty much only wear one elbow pad because I broke the joint before, and then a helmet in bowls where I might whip out, but the first few months starting out I took more injuries than I had to because I didn't wear them and it slowed my progress. So I got some, got used to bailing properly, saved myself from some potentially worse falls in the process, and it was all good.

any actual solid online skate shop will have all of the board dimensions listed, and you can figure out the concave just by reading the info. unironically go check SLAP if you're having problems

in general, FA/Hockey off the top of my head have really steep noses/tails if that's what you're looking for, but they're very squared off. if you're used to something like a baker shape you're going to have a rough transition.

you also have to factor in that companies like DLX are pressing multiple stacks of boards at a time, so despite having two decks with the same exact dimensions, you could have one from the top of the press and one from the bottom, the bottom deck obviously being flatter in concave compared to the stack on the top. DLX boards have a roman numeral engraving on the top plys if you want to see where your deck was at during pressing, might be why your two decks feel so off.

>they just got tom knox so thats sick
This is mostly why I was interested, but his pro deck only comes in 8.5 and I'm an 8.25 basic bitch so won't be getting it. Don't really want another of their 8.25 models because I pretty much agree with

>As for their graphics, they're almost skater doodle tier, so it's tough for me to consider one
Most if not all of them are uninspired and the main 'eyes' logo falls into that category as well. Fuck em.

You'll have to go through each skate shop website. I suppose you could make a list of your favorites, maybe branch out from the ones in your general area, then go from there. There is currently a site called thedrop, but it's kind of shitty.
Those Parade guys would take a cut from every sale, sneaky little shits.

What are some good skate shoes to absorb vibrations from shitty road conditions if you wanna longboard for a longer distance?
