>>143023
I think they're decent because they're on independent trucks and some really worn spitfire wheels. I put grease on the axel itself thinking thatd do anything. Then penetrating oil on the bearings with the wheel still attached because they were stuck then soaked them in water. Its good to know I can go in there more and clean them.

You need to clean them before you oil them. There’s tutorials on youtube but the gist of it is you remove the shields and slosh them around in some rubbing alcohol. Then you dry them on a paper towel and put a few drops of oil in each one. You can use gun oil if you don’t have bearing oil.

I started skating in 2021 for the first time ever at 29 years old. Made some decent progress, could ollie up some shit, had fs 180s mostly down, shuvs, pop shuvs. Last year I was excited to get back after it after the winter, and shattered my fucking ankle in May, like a month and a half after my 30th birthday. Had to get surgery on it and now have plates & pins in both sides of my ankle. Didn't get to skate at all because of it.

Went back out for a quick sesh yesterday and holy shit I am so fucking bad. It feels so scary even just cruising around. I feel like I'm worse off than when I started. Square negative one. Getting a few decent ollies was a struggle.

I guess I'm mostly just kind of bitching and shouting into the void here. Any other old skaters come back from an injury like that and get comfortable on a board again?

damn that sucks, bro. how did you shatter it? I'm lucky to have never had anything like that happen.

just take baby steps and gradually build confidence. you won't feel comfortable until the muscle memory comes back.

does your ankle have the same mobility pre-injury?

Skateboarding. Really sucked, becauase I wasn't even doing anything cool or interesting.

Mobility is reduced for sure. Not sure if it's a strength or flexibility issue, or if the metal I have there now is causing issues.

>>143099
Good question. I think I genuinely need a bone density test because I do not think my ankle should have broken.

what were doing? jumping down stairs? cuz I'm really not trying to shatter or break mine, haha. I'm 32 and work a physical job...can't be dealing with shit like that.

I would try doing calf raises and eventually loading them to see if you can increase strength and flexibility. hopefully it isn't the metal. get well bro.

I'm also kind of fat so that probably provides some cushioning

That sucks bro, but just think of how fucking good it'll feel by the end of the year when you overcome the injury. 3 friends of mine all late 20s to mid 30s broke their ankles/foot last year and all of them are back on the board. Eat well, don't smoke, and do your rehab exercises every day. Can't stress the latter one enough. Even forego a session so you can do extra rehab and strengthening exercises, keeping in mind that it'll help your skating.

Your ankle might never be 100% the same (though, equally, it might) but you'll definitely be able to skate above your current level. The pins might be reducing your mobility so getting them out could help once your strength is back.

Keep the faith brother. The best sauce is hunger.

imo it's important not to fixate too much on your 'level' and the stuff you can't do right now and focus more on finding areas you can progress while your body is recovering. when my ankle was fucked i couldn't pop a board so i tried to learn everything than didn't require doing any kind of ollie e.g; slappies, carving, holding long manuals and just like riding around town switch with my dog.

Has anyone in here gave longboard dancing a try? I know some people in here might find that side of skateboarding kinda fruity or whatever, but man that shit is eye-candy to watch. Very fancy carving. I once had a dream of some skater doing some Peter Pans in the middle of a regular line just for kicks before hitting a ledge and woke up thinking that would be interesting to see that combined.

Hey thread
Does anyone keep themselves busy here with making their own deck graphics? I've started off with repurposing shit thorough used decks with hardly any graphic left, sanding the rests off.
And either spraypainting them or just wooddyeing it with rit dye, it's a lot of fun but a thing I've noticed is that the decks feel so heavy afterwards. Shit's fun as hell.
Anyone here experience doing similar things?

There was a guy here I remember who did two SICK decks under his brand/moniker. Hip-Hop inspired, paying homage to the 36 Chambers board from the 90s.

I just started out and have a 8.5 powell deck (not the flight deck)
It's pretty heavy
Is this due to it being an 8.5, being a cheaper powell or something else?
Mate has a 8.25 heroin deck and it feels much lighter
How can I find out deck weight before I buy?

I heard those are a little bit heavier. If I were you, I would buy a scale and take it to the skate shop and weigh every board I am interested in. Obviously it won't be perfect due to variances in packaging, my Quasi came with a poster wrapped inside. That must be a gram and a half, at least.

That's true and she's said so herself. She dropped out of things because post-Toy Machine she struggled to get sponsored and it, combined with injuries, took the wind out of her sails. But her few full video parts before that point are great. IMO she might have had an amazing miniramp part, but it was all stairs and handrails at the time and she was next to some of the all time greats, which might have made her look weaker than she actually was.

She remains one of the few female pros to regularly eat shit and keep going. She was a proper skate rat and I think the only one like her today is Breena Gering.

Kek, I was wondering what janecum was I finally got to see a video or two. They are making fun of Habitat and I like it, but at the same time it's hard to sustain a deck company today, with this capitalism.
Remember what Dill said about board companies? That they are the calling card of every prp? Well, the big shoe conglomerates are turning this around and now it's common (I think) to talk about the shoe sponsors of pros and not even know their deck sponsor. And soon, what I said in one of those threads years ago, that shoe conglomerates/oligopoly will OWN the deck companies either straight up or in a hybrid fashion (money under the table, "collabs", pros of a deck company under the same big shoe sponsor) - and Numbers, Mariano's and Koston' deck brand was definitely a straight attempt by Nike to have their own undercover deck brand- is now coming true.

They're not bad exactly, but it gets tiresome to skate with people who aren't committed to it. It's way more fun to skate with heshers and people who go ham. My friend's girlfriend feels like such a third wheel to the session itself (even though we all like her otherwise) because she maybe steps on her board once every 2 weeks, pisses and moans about not being able to do things, then makes a big drama over dropping in for the "first time" for the fiftieth time.

Skating with girls who can keep pace or even outpace you is motivating and fun. Skating with girls who don't keep up feels like you're babysitting sometimes. It applies to men too, but way less so because a guy who's shit gets embarrassed easier and stays out of the way until they're ready.

you end up with this same problem with anyone who just skates for the image. the whole session just becomes about them. there's nothing worse than trying to psyche yourself up for a rail and having some absolute faggot shut everything down bitching and moaning because they're 'over it'
tbqh this is the main reason why i stopped skating with other people. too many of them are simply gains goblins.

for girls specifically the problem with skating is the that barrier to entry is too low to keep away low quality & unserious bitches. if you want to larp as a climber/snowboarder/kayaker/fencer etc, you gotta lay down some fucking money to even get in the door and there's also a base level of time/effort/discomfort to participate.

If you're determined enough, start gathering pallets and plywood and build yourself a little platform. You'll be mostly stuck to shit like pivots and freestyle, but your balance will be fantastic. I was stuck doing pivots on my carpet for a few months early on, helped immensely.

Amen to this brother but I gotta say kooks will find a way into any boardsport regardless. You have no idea how many “snowboarder girls” I see barely able to make it down a mountain or 50-50 a ride on box that act like they’re this super hardcore snowboarder chick. There is no such thing as barrier to entry anymore: everybody wants to be pro at things but thinks money/appearance will substitute the time/bodily damage these sports require.

I really do not mind bringing girls/shitty skaters to the sesh. I’d rather have them than some of these Uber elitist local types who have a mental breakdown and start screaming when their tricks aren’t 100% how they want them to be. That shit is more annoying than anything. Just skate and stfu, if you’re not having fun go home

I usually don't mind skating with people that suck, but it's when they start taking up to much space working on dumb shit like kick turns when people are waiting to skate an obstacle. I see this so much at my local, but I'd be a dick to say anything cause it's not like I'm about to do anything that cool once they move. I quarantine myself in spaces out of the way when I skate flat but I guess telling noobs to get out of the way is considered not sharing the park. it mostly comes down to skate park etiquette but when I see noobs practicing their ollies in front of an obstacle when there's available space somewhere else that's not in the way, I lose my mind. I don't know how to tell them to read the room without sounding like a tool.

i dont understand the mentality of people who go to the park to learn to push around or ollie, only time that makes sense is if they are showing up with other people who are good and theyre tagging along. do these people think the skatepark is like the gym or something and the only place they can practice and get better is the park? are they afraid of skating in an empty parking lot/garage or in the street of their neighborhood? do they need to be someplace where other people are skating? do they need to be seen? these threads are full of people asking "where do I skate. it was never an issue for me or anyone I know growing up, you skated wherever you could.

there's this tiny dwarf sized south american looking chick who's been coming to my local, has decent style for a chick (it would be shit style for a dude) except for looking like a child riding a full size board. she can't do any tricks on the transition which is 90% of my local and one time she tried to fs 5-0 in the bowl and got broke off so bad that she got a concussion. i gotta give her props for even trying though because she somehow committed to the 5-0 despite barely being able to drop in. like she had her board over the coping for a solid 90 seconds with her feet shaking before she dropped in. anyway that's all fine, idgaf if she sucks, but for some reason all of the local cool-guy retards think she's the shit and because of that she has the same arrogant attitude as the rest of them. she also brings her fuckin dog to the skatepark and it runs around which is super fucking annoying.

You're the true faggot and anyone else who parrots "freestyle is gay" is running a train on your pink asshole.

I cannot understand why so few skaters appreciate it. Even learning a couple of basic freestyle tricks opens up so many options for street, and fuck if multiple grab tricks weren't also originally freestyle before they got into transition skating. The balance and precision you have to hone helps too. Fair enough if it's just not your thing but if you don't have appreciation for freestyle just swap your skateboard for a handbag you utter poser.

A few things about this.
1. I have a dark butthole.
2.its fine for what it was in the 80s but its irrelevant now I know a lot of you faggots like to say "but wummabout Rodney Mullins"? in the 90s he was adding his own touch but to street skateboarding. for all intents and purposes Rodney Mullen has not been a freestyle skater since the 80s. Yes its fine to appreciate it for what it was at the time, but it is irrelevant to what skateboarding is or has been for at least 25 years. Are you going to also tell people to get into slalom skateboarding?

I posted the Mullen gif because that's just what came up on Google, but gtfo with "Mullen hasn't been a freestyler since the 80s", literally the last video he did was all stationary freestyle routines.

And it's "not relevant" because there's this weird rejection of it, not because all of it has been mined or been advanced upon. His videos are pretentiously edited, but Kilian Martin does fun shit combining street and freestyle moves that you don't see anyone else thinking of. And it can be really simple things like doing a 5050 on a ledge with some quick footwork before shuving out, but it's impressive and flowy as all hell. Same with Jonny Giger; he's obviously very Mullen-influenced, but he'll do street and freestyle tricks in a single line that no one else is doing today. I saw someone in person recently on a miniramp do a stall, hop it into a rail stand then rail flip it back into a drop in position and it was sick as fuck.

You can call that "tech" if you want, but that's semantic because those tricks are 100% freestyle staples. If something like a casper spin is "tech" and not "freestyle" then what the hell IS "freestyle"?

It's literally fine. I can't imagine any current day freestyler not also trying the other styles too anyway. Plus, as someone else said, if you're in some sort of situation where freestyle is the only viable option (old/can't take slams any more, don't have anywhere decent to skate, can't do the other styles for whatever reason) then go for it. People quitting altogether instead of at least trying freestyle makes no sense to me.
It's also the one style of skating you can do literally anywhere so if you hit one of those plateaus where you're bored of doing the same shit over and over, you could try a few basics and open doors.


Does no one else do this? I like to try different types of skating or weird, old school ramps to challenge myself with something basic and I always come out the other side with a new angle on my core moves. I can't understand why someone would ever say they hate or don't want to touch a whole genre of skating.

I was already getting into skateboarding when the first tony hawk game came out. It blew up big time. A lot more people got into it and we had 4 skateshops in our town, including the original Pharmacy. There were no skateparks.
Now there are 4 skateparks within 15 miles of me and only 2 skateshops.
I think the biggest change that really gets to me is shoes.More people were into "for skaters by skaters" brands or skate specific brands. Even though there were big companies like Vans and Airwalks- the skateshops , at least where i live-back then had only maybe one pair of each of those and everything else was Osiris, Etnies, Duffs, Kastels... the rest.
Even though there were videogames and televised competitions like the X-Games and Gravity Games, it was still seen as alt and counter culture .
I don't feel like skateboarding is as cool as it once was , but it might be because i'm not as cool as I used to be and i skateboard

I'm 34 and I think it's thriving. You'll always have women using it as a fashion prop, edgy teenagers who have 5 years experience bitching about 'posers' while vandalizing public property and generally being a nuisance, old people in gay shorts, and old people with no teeth who don't shower. It's easier now than ever before for an independent skater to get good and put out clips on their own. You still have thirst-trapping industry plants but they're selling boards to go on 13 year old girls walls it's a completely different market than someone looking for sporting goods. I still get weirdo boomers harassing me for skating a curb sometimes and assholes posturing because they think i'm up to no good but I think it's like tattoos; it's been mainstream long enough that people don't automatically think you're there to destroy society. I go to the skatepark from sunrise to about 8:00AM because at any other time of the day it's either being used as a daycare or completely full of latchkey kids who basically just live there. Maybe it's just me but skaters have always been pretty territorial and interested in 'outtricking' eachother so now that I'm able to do it alone I'm having a lot more fun than I did in my 20's/teens

>shoes...."for skaters by skaters"

Jesus I miss this so much. With other goods it seems to be mostly the same as the 2000s only with fewer "mid" size brands and more tiny independent brands and then the big boys who've been around forever, but with shoes there's way fewer options and the most popular ones are either Vans or non-skater owned big shoe companies with a skateshoe division. Trying to find shit I want is so much harder than I remember from my teen years.

Totally getting Osiris high tops once my current DCs bite the dust.

The thing I might hate the most about this is that pro model shoes seem much rarer or at least less ubiquitous, and the ones that do exist are all super standard and uninteresting.

The actual Emerica team manger has an account there.
I think here a few people get Soletech shoes just because they always put them on sale for $20-$30. Though I still think vulc Emericas are pieces of shit shoes. The soles always come apart from the upper all the time I hate them so much they make me so angry.

Low impact tricks. I learnt slappy back 5-0s today. I was surprised by how easy it was to lock in. Slappys still make no sense to me though. Like why do I need to hit my nose first to properly lock into anything? Why when I try to lift up my nose and roll onto the curb it doesn't work at all?

You might be leaning back too much and/or putting too much weight on your back foot. Try either jumping forward or altering your pop so it's more of a backwards motion than a straight down one (before you scoop it ofc).

I normally keep my front foot pretty much dead centre so I don't have to lift it so high to clear it, and curl the toes of my back foot over the side of the tail to make the scoop super easy.


Try doing a couple where you overshoot the landing and land in front of the board every time you wind up with the board shooting out in front of you.

I don't think so. When I am kickflipping good its basically an ollie with the my front foot a bit to the side and I flick it halfway through sliding up the board.
Fakie flips my flick is much shorter and way more consistent. The board comes up and meets my foot and sort of rolls off it.

I just take a picture. it's geolocation tagged so i can find it later
>>What are your rituals before skating? Any stretching? Yoga? Take a nip of liquor or drink a beer? Do some biking?
sometimes i'll smoke a bowl or a cigarette but not always. I usually spend the first 20 minutes just pushing around, maybe some shove its or basic flatground.
>>What puts you in a skating mood?
It's like my only exercise so whenever I get ansy or start feeling lethargic. Watching skate content, listening to hype music and even reading these threads make me want to skate
>>Do you skate solitarily or do you go out with buds?
solitary with ear buds. Other people make me uncomfortable and skating is entirely personal to me. Even if someone is being friendly and cool it fucks with my vibe in the perfect world I'd have a private park
>>How would you describe your skating styles?
I guess street? I mostly do flatground and ledges, some small rails 5 stair gaps and small bowl riding. Not too much of a specialist. I don't want to hurt myself so I kinda just use it as an exercise tool and don't have any ambition to do anything specific

i feel like if your a piece of shit (harmful) weirdo, youre pretty quickly ostracized from the skate community, and youre a loner. i feel like someone with a 'screw everyone else that isnt me' additude is actually looking to screw people over and wouldnt bother spending idle time 'skateboarding'

i feel like with normies, you never really have any clue if theyre a loner or they have lotsof friends. pretty much any and every skateboarder is going to have people he hangs out with or assoiates with. but yeah, i feel like there is a significant amount of "normies" who dont have friends and dont really hang out with people, and thus their motives and needs in life have gone out of wack and there can be some really shitty "smile in your face, stab you in the back" personalties in there. like the kinda guy who will throw anyone under a bus to get 'theirs'

Eeeh, for the most part. As the other guy said, you can meet all sorts of druggie burnouts who will fuck you over, but the average not-insane skater will be straight with you most of the time. I think actively throwing yourself into potentially life ending situations gives you perspective on things, and you learn to not take things more seriously than they warrant.

Popshoves are just shoves with pop. You want your shoves back, just don't pop.

its hilarious these threads are so shit that a good portion of posters refuse to believe that anyone decent at skateboarding posts here. you tell people to stop being scared of skating in an empty parking and you get some dipshit demanding you post a clip. tryna give simple basic advice and get people jumping down your throat accusing you of being the one shitting up the thread as if you cant scroll up and see the same basic shit being posted and incel posts about women skaters. pathetic jealous behavior from grown men. then again you do have to be pretty pathetic to get into skateboarding in your 20s/30s. go buy a fishing pole you fucking kooks.

I know I dabbed on you a while ago and you're still mad about it, but that guy is not me. I've never complained about thread quality, and in fact I'm the guy asking people to post clips. I don't use words like incel and I'm not an sjw thinking woman skaters will go on a date with me if I defend them online. I also don't call people kooks, that's just not part of my lingo. You don't need to just assume every post you don't like was made by me because probably over an year ago already I btfo'd you in some way. Quite embarrassing to be honest.

You implied I'm a 20 yr old afraid to go to the park because I said it's good to work on tricks by yourself. So I asked you to post a clip and now you are blogposting. Do you need us to suck your dick or something?
