Hey guys I just started skating. I want to get some pads so I don't hurt myself while I'm learning. What brand do you guys recommend? Also is it viewed as uncool to wear pads and helmet? If so, why?

Yeah, people might look at you weird if you wear a helmet and pads but if you don't care about that then just do it. It's better to save yourself the concussion. If you're learning on flatground I wouldn't worry about pads and I would just get a helmet, maybe wear shinguards and some thick pants to protect your shins.

I was skating last night at the skatepark and this chick started skating this massive bowl with no helmet. She tried to grind the coping but slipped out and hit the back of her head on the concrete. It was fucked up. Unironically she should have been wearing a helmet at least if she wanted to skate a bowl that big.

The cumulative effects of concussions can fuck with you in ways you wouldn't even realize. Ever looked at Duane Peter's Instagram? He's like that because of CTE. It can literally change your personality getting hit in the head too many times.

for the past few months, this dude has been giving me weird vibes at my local. when he skates around me I feel like he's trying to mock me by doing tricks I'm working on that I've never seen him do before... I'm not saying he's not allowed to do the tricks but I know for a fact it's just not the way he skates cause I see him all the time. He does the same shit every day, but I can't fathom that someone his age (a grown man) could be so lame and petty...am I looking too much into this, or are people actually this whack? he makes me want to stop skating and leave. but that's the pussy way out, to let him bully me out of the park, but his presence fucks up the atmosphere. what do?

Yes they are. Especially at skateparks. In this case the best thing to do is ignore him entirely.This is why some guys avoid skateparks at all costs lmao.

Not long ago some nutjob was skating literally in front of me, trying the exact thing I was doing. And I would skate over to the other side of the park, and he would follow me and then do the same. I switched to three different obstacles and each time he would follow me and skate practically on my heels. This phenomenon is not uncommon anon. Don't let weirdos harsh your aura dood.

this is just typical park rat douchebag behavior, doesnt matter the age these guys come in all shapes and sizes. like the other poster said this is why some people will avoid parks (like me). dont be a bitch and leave, just keep ignoring him. if its really pissing you off and you feel like being confrontational just snake him or "accidentally" let your board drift into his line a couple times. i know it sounds petty but this is legitimately jockish bully behavior and he will keep doing it because he sees you as weak. if you get into a confrontation and you hold your ground he will back off and pick a new target, dudes who do passive aggressive shit like this arent trying to get into a fist fight theyre just trying to flex. also try talking to anyone else at the park and see if they get a similiar vibe from him and they might back you up. other than that the only thing you can do is skate a different park or go at a different time when hes not there.

Anonymous at Thu, 30 Mar 2023 08:23:50 UTC No. 140704

I guess it depends on how they're doing it exactly, but I kinda like when I'm trying a new move and someone who has it on lock does a couple after looking at me. Helps me figure the trick out. Plus it's often better than someone trying to verbally explain what to do.

But yeah, not if they're the kind of person who doesn't say hello or even make eye contact with you.

I am lucky to get too focussed on what I'm doing for this to happen to me. Even if people are trying, I usually won't see them. It's just me and whatever obstacle/trick and everything else is out of focus. It has happened on the odd occaison, but nothing as regular as that. Have you tried talking to him? It might be a good way to test his intentions, even if you just compliment his trick or something, the way he responds will give something away.

Anyone else constantly go back to using their soft wheels? I keep trying to switch to hard a-cuts but I've gotten to used to the high amount of speed I pick up using my large contact patch longboard wheels. orangatang 65mm 83a i think
the wheels catch on rails but with pool coping its fine, and once you get used to the board bouncing back when it impacts the ground its alright. I do wish i could powerslide without it having to be wet outside but i still consider it pretty scary and just opt to razor tail the shit out of my board if i need to brake

main reason i ask is because despite googling i have yet to find a pro skater that does anything with soft/longboard wheels even if its just strictly transition skating

there's gotta be someone i can look to for sick transition skating with soft wheels, or actually transition skating with a cruiser or longboard would be cool to see too

I love when a park, especially a bowl, has some cool mural-y type shit painted on it. Aside from just looking cool, it gives you lots of hand reference points when you're learning stuff.

But yeah, not at the price of traction. I ate major shit before because there was one piece done with thick, plasticy paint and there was some SLIGHT condensation on the bowl. The rest of it was totally fine to skate, but that patch was like standing on a banana peel.

I bought these discounted online, I want to learn how to kickflip on a 8" board. Well, 8 and 8.125. Really steep tail on the creature, really flat tail on the quasi, indys and Mindy's. I'm going to set both of them up.

Good choice. I had a Protec and, while it fit fine, one day the glue holding the hard shell to the foam inner just outright separated. I never took a really hard slam with it and never threw it around or anything. The Sweatsaver comes with different padding inserts so you can go up/down a size. Feels more sturdy too.

>>141183
Happened to me, but it's only the very tip of the bolt that needs to be worked. It actually wrecked the plastic on a nut before too when I tried to get it back on after a clean, meaning I had to replace that shit.

is it worth going from a spitfire radical to tablet?
i like the idea of being able to have a smaller wheel / lighter weight on my board while still having a similar wide riding surface.
unsure if its worth the price of upgrading though cause my radicals will last for a while longer.

Where do you guys look when you get into a 5050? I struggle to reliably get my weight out because I have this annoying fucking habit of keeping my upper body way back into the ramp and doing short slashy ones that I can't hold more often than not.

It's probably not where you're looking that is an issue, you just have to be more on top. Also the best tip for backside 50-50s in transition is to learn to get that correct pinch that will allow you to hold it for a long time - the coping should be against your heel-side wheel on your back truck and against your toe-side wheel on your front truck.

He's one of those guys who's extremely self conscious but tries to mask it all with layers of irony and the odd bit of self deprecation. It comes out whenever he talks about clothes. He's one of those skaters that utterly lack a punk "I'll do what I want fuck everyone else" attitude, will sometimes criticise the most non important shit with other skaters, but in reality is highly self conscious of himself doing the same.

I think he'll just have a meltdown some down where it gets out of hand and he starts a fight with someone online.

That's the thing; he fucking rips. He's on the techy side, but he can skate a variety of weird obstacles. But he's weirdly understated about it because, idk, he doesn't seem to want to put himself out there like that and invite the kind of criticism he slings at other people back at him.

He's also a furry, so you could just end any argument that way.

I don't like dumbdata for many reasons. His attack on nine club did lots of damage I think. Got the sjw riled up and we ended up with faggots like marble on and those guys doing some weird forced personalities. Data is a clout chaser. Same with batb. No one would know him otherwise. I don't think he is a gifted fan, just saw another way to expose himself more. And I don't think it does gifted any favour to associate with him. Compared to say a core skate channel like Ben degros. Even the Ricky Glaser video made sense because at the end of the day he's a nice guy who skates, not overly corny etc.
My two cents on all this but ffs I try not to even pay attention kek

I may be wrong but I thought there was a connection between fancy lads and consolidated?

>it's where he first started shilling his channel to begin with.

I don't remember that. I remember we all thought how radical (not "fresh", not "cool") his approach is. He took a stance on ekin, but he kind of seems like he wants to distance himself equally from differing or controversial opinions because he is afraid he is motivating to hatred. He more than once said that death threats aren't cool, and he is right.
I like that he speaks his mind and this is what people like about him: his channel came when we were seriously considering limits to speaking our mind because the states told us that it could be harmful, that we could be dealing out MISINFORMATION.
By the way, I don't recall dumbdata's nine club episode, but that can't be what made him unpopular, if he even is unpopular, because gifted hater had a very poignant stance on Nine Club.
My only bafflement comes from the all-out attack on Steezus. Combined with the claim of dumbdata, that he proposed a collab to gifted and when GH denied he made a little jab at him and then GH lashed out, it makes me consider that GH could have a narcisisstic side, but again, this is an accusation, among many, that is hurled against people who speak their own mind.

I think gifted gets a pass because he can skate. That's a bit of a pre-requisite when it comes to offering your opinion on skating imo. You have to be able to back up your words with skating. Dumb data never did so, but came in with critical takes of people who have paid their dues. It lacked respect and self awareness.

I watched the Steezus clip and, idk, he mostly just read and reacted to his insanely narcissistic biography. And it did make me wonder who the fuck he even was to think he was justified in writing all that. There are many many more legendary skaters out there and none of them would write that shit.

I think GiftedHater said it himself, but it's less about how skilled or talented of a skater you are and more about how much you skate. Armchair skate criticism is cancer, you need to at least TRY.

I fucked up my knee pretty bad, and being stuck in the house drove me a bit stir crazy, so I decided to just kind of go check out the local park and see if anyone was doing anything cool or not. just kind of vicariously living through other people. If someone was doing some shit like back tails, I'd try and spark up some conversation telling him his style looks nice, can he take it to fakie, has he tried any variations etc. just making friendly conversation. almost everyone I tried talking to looked at me like I was an absolute retard for even ATTEMPTING to try and speak to someone who possesses some sort of above average skill level on a board. it was honestly fucked up and kind of soured me on the scene out here. I always skated with a crew when I was younger, and got pretty comfortable skating by myself with headphones on in the later years, so I never really interacted with other dudes at the park outside of head nods and the occasional quick in the ear out the other small talk, but it's crazy how many people out here seem downright hostile if you even attempt to talk to them.

I was gonna say you should definitely ride the line of safety next to them because they're accepting the risk, it's the same as playing in the road. Do flyouts and grind the coping next to them and fly past their kids at high speeds until the parents realize that they are the ones putting them in danger, not you.
Or just yell at them and say MOVE YOUR FUCKING KID BEFORE I RUN HIM OVER and use the type of racist language that would prevent them from coming back

The problem isn’t that. I shoo them away and do tricks literally next to them as they sit down the problem is that there’s so many fucking kids there. The parents get scared and leave but these kid just don’t have the fear of god in them.

One scooter kid leaves/gets bodied and 4 more take their place with even stupider contraptions to ride on. it just becomes a numbers game at a certain point. And no I can’t recruit druggies this is in a more middle class neighborhood, the cops would show up in 2 seconds and shut shit down.

I’ll still skate there but it’s like why commute almost 20 minutes to deal with that? I have lumber skills I’d rather just make a ramp and pound some beers with my insane neighbors in the comfort of my own backyard

Yeah that's shit mate sorry to hear. My local park is 20 mins up the hill but I ride my road board to get there and as long as I go at sunrise/before 2pm (highschool) or 3pm (middle school) there isn't anyone ever there unless they took their job off for the day to skate.
Weekends however, there is always the same group of 17to23 year olds drinking and skating before midnight, so I usually stop by around 1am and pickup the trash and often the boards/parts they leave. Several decks, trucks, broken decks with trucks and random bearings etc on the floor nearly every week. I've tried to interact with them before but they're the types where if they see you do something cool in the bowl alone they'll start to try and ride in front of your line just to bring the attention back to themselves cause they don't like it when their drunk slut is paying attention to someone else

I was just sitting here doing nothing and all of a sudden a memory from my childhood suddenly comes up into my mind for no reason at all. I was skating street on some marble monument type thing. I slip out and my board fucking shoots forward with the speed of a formula car. This woman just walking has zero reaction to my board flying towards her ankles. I'm lying there on the ground just looking at the nose of my board collide with her fibula head on. She almost cried it hit her so hard. I wouldn't be surprised if her bone cracked for real. I still feel bad.

Didn't hit them hard, but I did this a few weeks ago outside London Bridge station. The ground was BARELY wet, but whatever grime and shit rests there turned patches of it into an ice sheet. I made the gentlest turn imaginable, slipped out in what felt like slow motion and clipped someone in the ankle with the side of my deck. They were totally cool about it though, didn't seem hurt. It was the weirdest fall I've ever had.

It's whatever your normal comfortable riding position is. If you need to visually practice, a decent exercise is to cover the first 2 bolts with your shoe, so when you look at the board you can only see the top 2 bolts, that's generally a good area to have your front foot.

I'm straight but objectively ugly and I gotta admit the few times a gay dude has flirted with me it was a bit of an ego booster. Like it was awkward and uncomfortable of course but I guess oddly reassuring. It makes me wonder if some people do rainbow activities just for the acceptance.

do you get weird fiberglass splinters when you touch it? My longboard is resin and bamboo (loaded dervish samba) and it feels like you touched one of those fuzzy cactus

not bad for the price tbqh. the wheels/bearings & trucks might not be the best but you can upgrad them as you go along. deck is probably chink plywood but that's honestly fine for a beginner because you're gonna suck at first no matter what you're riding.

the one with a closer wheelbase and length to your old board, and/or the one with more similar concave, kick profile, and taper. Last and least relevant, you can measure your old 8.38 because sizing can easily be off by the few mm difference between 8.38 and 8.25/8.5, but width is not that important.

i think >>142711 is right

for dingleberry what the fuck do these numbers even tell me
>>142684
8.38
8.25 - 98.44% or 0.13 diff in width
8.50 - 98.58% or 0.12 diff in width

8.25 = 8 and a quarter
8.38 = 8 and 3/8s
8.5 = 8 and a half

simple as that bruv

this >>142711 but for the 'in between' sizes most companies just shave down width from the larger size so 9/10 times the 8.5 is going to feel way more familiar because it's probably using the other measurements you're used to

I have an 8.25, 14.25, 31 inch BBS board and a 8.38, 14.25, 31 inch dwindle board and they feel a world apart. Even side by side they look so different.

Toy Machine, but desu concave preferences are really tricky when buying online. is their a shop you could visit to see all the decks in person?
some guys at my local will grab like 20 boards from the wall and eyeball all of them to see which one they like the most.

They used to use a mold which was fantastically steep when they were using the Pennwsood woodshop for boards a while back. They have switched over to using regular old BBS more recently. I'd put those concaves in the medium range

Bowlfag here. How do i get the board to stay under my feet when doing a tre flip? I actually think i could land one because i can get the board to flip, only problem is that it shoots out way infront of me and i can only keep my front foot on

Stay above your board then land on it when it's done flipping.

do your 3 shuvs and impossibles stay underfoot? then your scoop is right, just use more toe and maybe experiment with different flick angles. if those shoot out too then you just need to work on your scoop first.

I can't do them for shit, but I asked Jamie Griffin before and he said that when you focus on the back foot/scoop more and sort of add a little bit of backwards pull to the motion, it should keep it under you and make it so you don't have to kickflip with the front foot as hard.
