I'm about to cry bros. I grew up in this small town skating by myself and always wanting to make a skate video but never could. Some years later and the next generation of young dawgs have an entire skate crew and made a whole 10/10 skate video on their own. You might recognize the spot where I did a heelflip and a 50-50 at in some webms I've posted. I feel so proud.

the opposite actually happened in my small town... I was one of the first skaters, found out about skating after going to the capital of my state and meeting some kids that skated there. within two years of skating, literally 75% of the kids at my middle school end up skating. we literally have like 20+ kids skating every weekend in people's driveways. building boxes, kickers, rails, and eventually a mini ramp.everyone stick with it for a few years until halfway through high school when everyone starts dropping out one by one for other things(mostly partying and being "grown ups.) Me and two friends are the only ones left. we resort to hanging out with people from the capital, making the drive every weekend to skate. this was back in the early 2000s. skating was at it's peak. it was insane to witness. I literally didn't care about anything but skating. not girls, nothing. I would skip school to go to the skatepark every other day. it's pretty sad to see people quit doing something they enjoy and spend years of dedication at, for something as dumb as "partying" with people that they will never aquire such a close friendship with like they had with skating. this same thing happens with every generation of skaters, leaving only a few hardcores. skating is nothing like it used to be. there are less parks, less shops, and less skaters, even in large towns. small town skating got nearly completely wiped out. pros used to not be celebrities either. I remember meeting them at demos and they were literally broke bums like everyone else for the most part. they would sell kids shoes and decks that they got from sponsors. lol.

Lacquer makes it easier, but is not necessary- especially if you don't want to wait a day, even more so if it's an already waxed and grinded ledge and you get to it in that sweet spot before chunks start coming off it.

there will always be a battle between people who think that skateparks should all be standard and have the same obstacles and be like a training ground and people who think each park should be different and unique and be interesting to skate. I think it depends on where your at and how many parks are actually around you. If your only getting one park in an hour radius and theres no street scene then it should probably be kinda standard cookie cutter shit. If theres plenty of shit to skate and parks around then building another cookie cutter park is dumb as fuck.

as far as skate park graffiti goes its usually shit and makes the park ugly asf. Even if its good graffiti it can make the ramps/ground slick as fuck. im all for the locals buffing/painting over park graf every once in a while but a local park/diy by me has taken to buffing graf within 48 hours of it going up even if its not on a ramp or anything and I get theyre trying to discourage people but its also just kinda gay cop like behavior.

>there will always be a battle between people who think that skateparks should all be standard and have the same obstacles and be like a training ground and people who think each park should be different and unique and be interesting to skate.
IMO it should have both.

Your standards:
>3ft miniramp
>bowl or pool
>3-5 stairs with handrails or hubba
>some low ledges/many pads/curbs
>taller, knee height+ ledges
>banks/pyramids/funboxes/euro gaps

Your unique shit that people will go out of their way to visit:
>rainbow rails
>spines
>weird bowl layout
>curved/angled/kinked rails
>old school shit like half pipes, snake runs, pump tracks, giant aqueduct scale banks, bumps, launch ramps, etc
>vert

If a park has just one of the latter mixed in with the standards, it's a good park. Given, naturally, it's all well made and has some sort of flow. And you can likewise mix some of these pieces together, like having a spine out of the miniramp, or a euro with a rail, etc. If anything, flow is the number one element for me. Nothing worse than a park that has an interesting obstacle that you have to push uphill to hit, then hit the brakes afterwards because it spits you out towards a wall.
What's the worst park or park feature you guys have seen (barring it just being crusty)?

Well maybe not "weird" but "interesting". Basically anything that isn't just a kidney. My local has a roll-in, two waterfalls, a cradle, extension, a sort of bank-y think (a transition that stops curving after a few degrees), a loveseat, hips and is just laid out in a way where you can hit different corners on every lap. It gives you so many new things to try where some bowls will but pretty bare. But it's also easy enough that you can just bomb down the waterfalls, hit the two deep end corners, then zoom back up the the shallow end and hit those two corners.

Yes, those are the widest Aces. What board is it? Depending on the shape 77s might even be overkill, it's common to try to match the axle with the width of the deck at the rear bolt holes. For example pro skater Erick Winkowski uses 159s(8.75 in case you didn't know) on his 10.3 pro board.

IMO 77s would be a little wide with the taper. I did some calculation and the board is around 8.8" at across the rear trucks (159px center to 10", 134px center to rear taper) so 9.5" trucks would probably stick out a little. Of course you are free to set it up however you like!

Nah coke is for the bars after the session at the spot or the park. When youre trying to send suicide shit or land some crazy tech shit first try you have to pregame with crack. Its also cheaper too so you dont feel like a complete mark the morning after.

Put a manual pad into a manual pad, so that one is coming out of the other, like bleachers/terraces. The box is too high and sticks out like a sore thumb. With integrated manual pads you have manual pads and ledge all into one.

stupid 5-0.jpg

Anonymous No. 146578

trannybros i need some pointers.
Every time i try to 5-0 or 5050 on transition , i always find myself doing these stupid horizontal slash type grinds. I can hold the grinds for a little bit so its doing more than "slashing" but man i hate how they look.
Am i just being too much of a coward to properly go all the way over? Whenever i do try, i go to far out and eat shit. but i really don't think its a fear because even on a small foot high ramp i still do the same shit.
Is it my timing?
Weight distribution?
Am I an actual pussy, and in reality I AM too scared to fully commit to these grinds?
Should i just stick to what i'm good at and not worry about transition?

Its hard to tell from that picture exactly where you're going wrong but this is what i told someone else who was having a similar problem, and they also went from street skating into transition...
your trucks are on there and thats a pretty high qp- I don't think you're scared of going up, but it looks like you're preparing for a fall. If your trucks are getting on there-+ you need to lean your upper body back.... in that pic you can see your back shoulder and head area area are leaning down towards the floor, as if you're ready to catch yourself if you fall. I know you can do stairs - but catching and stopping yourself from a bad slam is different on transition. You want to slide down the ramp and try to not get hurt instead of bracing yourself for the least amount of pain. You need to get into the headspace of saving yourself being more in your legs than in the upper body and i think that might help.

Anonymous No. 146601

>>146578
Your body is outside and over the transition, if you can go to a smaller qp you can practice the feeling of getting up and on the top of the coping, it's like a shift in your weight

If you can't hold the 5-0 and stop for a moment before coming back in then you're not doing it correctly imo. You just need to get on top. Idk what to say other than just do it. Look where you want your trucks to go and just do it, it aint that hard

It's a stock photo of a guy posed on coping, you can tell because his weight is over the deck and not going into the ramp. I'm implying that isn't how the trick is done. Watch a video part, perhaps John Cardiel or Grant Taylor, they aren't standing up on the coping, and then turning and dropping in. The weight stays over the ramp ready to carry speed back in, how much is kind of set up at take off depending on how far you want to grind. No, you don't do it horizontally, he is doing it wrong.

Lead with the knee when you're about to level out an ollie. By the time you've popped, your knee should be more towards the nose of the board than your foot. That way you don't have to kick your leg as forward to level out, the motion is faster, and your body stays more centred over the board.

why are you trying to five-o that part of the transition instead of the more mellow QP to the right of you when you first enter the park
I was going to give you tips but now I won't because i know you're a retard
sad!
the first step would be learning how to actually keep your weight "in" the transition while being comfortable sitting "on top" of the coping, instead of actually trying to 50-50 on top of the deck or doing these weird slash grind looking ass shits you got going on in your picture
if you can't Axle stall, feeble stall or 5-0 stall I wouldn't bother trying to learn how to actually grind coping yet, because you're basically asking to hang up when you finally grind because you don't know how to distribute your weight properly

I want to get a long board but I don’t like any of them. I want too much from it I think. Drop through, drop down, popsicle style double kick and a wheelbase around 20”ish. I like having my bushings and baseplate angles set for full lean and almost zero turn so that I can have big soft wheels on a large popsicle board without any risk of wheel bite with low angle rkp trucks

I’m probably just gonna take a dremel to one of my boards and make it a diy dropthrough and see how that goes for now

Damn. How?


8 years old is understandable, but what I will never get are the parents who send pre-verbal toddlers on their little 3 wheeler scooters into the park. I've seen mothers stop and look at grown men flying through the air on BMXes, landing huge transfers into a bowly thing, then let their fetus on wheels do circles right in the landing zone where nobody can see them and not think anything of it.

I always heard as a kid, though I've been unable to find a news story about it, that an indoor park in Dublin closed down because a kid tried to bomb it towards a funbox, slipped out and wound up sliding along the ground sideways, and smashed his skull face first into the end of a flatbar. Because the park didn't have a helmet policy or a strong enough liability form, they got shut down.

Marked out where where i needed to take out and then used a drill to do most of the work before switching to the dremel with a wood bit and fishing it off with a round sander. It’s not perfect and I know the extended wheelbase holes aren’t perfect so both plates are just ever so slightly out of balance but as far as making a drop through goes this works and is pretty siiick. It’s harder to to do ollies and shuvits but that’s a good trade-off for pure stability when going down hills. There’s less than one index finger of clearance between the board and the wheel now and I only get wheel bite if I put my full weight onto one wheel, full weight on one side is fine though.
Still gotta redo the grip tape today, might do spaced out diamonds like the bottom of the board.

Hey y'all, based boomer bro here, gettin a little worn down by my skate journey thus far and need some advice to keep me rippin. I've had an epic battle with the shuv for the last year and a half, maybe landing it once or twice cleanly (with a mega steeze roll away, felt fuckin amazing i tell you hwat, but technically not a roll away cause it was stationary in the grass, but you know what i mean), but when I take it to concrete I keep slamming hard. Last one I tried 6 months back I managed to snap my arm to a 90 degree angle (the WRONG way) so have been out for a bit, but after some recovery I've been doing some carpet boarding on my home made carpet board deck (with custom grip and foot wells to place my feet in to make it extra comfy) and i think i'm finally getting it. What I need to know is how do i stop slipping out when i finally retry these bad bois on the big bois surface? i can land both feet on the bolts (usually back bolts) which is what everyone says, so i dunno what i'm doing wrong. Help me win this war!

regarding shoes. they are some as basic vans shoes as possible and almost in breaking point after 6 months of just walking. heels from insoles are walked into oblivion and i had to glue the outsoles back in.

can you recommend some good shoes that would last a little longer? I have wide-ish feet so I can't just walk in store and test all.

Vans have worked well for me, being comfy and all, but the durability is just really meh. I can't even fathom how fast these would wear if I were to actually skateboard.

The best way to land shuvits if you're already throwing them properly is stand on the floor parallel to your board. Jump from the floor onto your board with both feet. Do this 6... Maybe 12 times. You really don't have to do it a lot just a few. Then do your shoves and take what you just did and apply that to how you land it. You only need to do that exercise really the first time. It'll stick after that.
Also this reads like a reddit post so I'm not sure if it's real, but if it is maybe also take a couple breaths before you start typing.

the ambition jib boards are good for carpet boarding if you want something you can flip around. they don't make much noise on a rail either. you can find them for cheap during clearance sales as well. i got mine for 50$ when the house closed down. they have hella pop too

also this is for snowboarding but you can do the same shit with a skateboard/snowskate etc

I love fucked up unique shaped boards, longboard specific parts like bushings wheels drop downs and drop throughs, electric boards in the bowl, slalom parts, roller derby wheels, surf skate adapters and anything unique or different. If I can’t afford it I’ll trade for it or make it myself if possible.

I really want a nice downhill board like the one pictured but that won’t happen for a long time. Until then my favorite thing to practice is caveman transferring between boards while riding, each with a different wheelbase and wheels for differing types of terrain

Oh also drilling holes in the board to add rope so you can pull the board up with you when you jump for cheating Ollie’s is fucking sick on a retarded shaped longboard

Unrelated, but there hasn't been a good thread for a while and I'm finding myself not checking in on them for longer periods of time. They've gotten super shitty and bitter in a /b/ kind of way. There's no moderation and all of this shit flinging reeks of underage b&, while barely anyone posts images or clips of any sort of skating, nevermind their own (which, to be fair, isn't something most people want to do because they'll undoubtedly get a tonne of undue shit for it). The only people eager to actually talk about skating are the newbie "how do I ollie" guys. Less and less posters seem to actually be fans of skating.

So yeah, idk, I think people should start reporting posts more often to stop threads from devolving into this shit every single time.

I feel like I am being forgotten a bit on this board. I too get banned thanks to our gookmaxing fren but I haven't posted in a long time. Catching up on the shit slinging is quite entertaining imo.

Are these worth watching? I saw them on my local channels website to stream, the old kotr were sick but 45 minute episodes? Seems a bit much..

to change thread subject from namefag drama, how about 2 basic questions: trick youve been practicing this week, and favourite trick for those cozy sessions

I just remembered how fun coffins down big hills are, and not those limp dick starting sitting ones.

I'm trying to get backside 50-50s down. I can't pop into them to save my life, always land in feble. Bs 5-0 is easier as I don't have to get my front truck down.

Just been trying to get my pop shuvs better. Used to have them feeling pretty tasty but have neglected them for a while, so I thought it'd be worth working on them and front shuvs again.

>favourite trick for those cozy sessions
No comply 180 to tailstop on banks. Got a really clean one yesterday. It's a trick that I don't think is particularly hard, but people give me props for it. It's so lazy and low impact that I'll often start off a session with a few no complies into things (tall ledges dead on, then sort of 270 backside "tailslides" on curbs), then wind up spending too long on them and forget what new thing I wanted to try that day.

No idea of that streamer.

Aapo I found from ylilautalaisians, who obsess over him.
