Someone should make an app where people can upload the map coords of skate spots in their town, and other people can search them. Include some kinda rating system so you can filter out the shitter spots uploaded as a joke

There is one. It's called Krak. But barely anyone uses it so it onlt ever has a fraction of actual spots. It's a cool idea (especially the feature where you can upload clips of yourself at the spot for bragging rights) but ai think people just aren't bothered to use it over just talking and filming like normal.
What I would love is a proper trick encyclopaedia. Every trick, all stances, all obstacles, with video examples taken from existing skate videos.

try popping down the rail rather than trying to go straight up onto it. you can also counter rotate your shoulders slightly like you would for a front lip and then after you pop, swing them forward which will bring your hips & trucks into a straight grind

Yeah, all you can really do is rest it until it untenses. Highly advise doing some core exercises to gradually build up your back muscles. I've been finding recently how imbalanced my own core is due to skating and offsetting it with some gym time.

I just remembered that when I was a little kid in 2009 I really wanted a skatepark so I made one in google sketch I think it was. I went around town collecting signatures to get the city to build one. I called the local radio and told them what I was doing and asked if they could give me an interview. After that the lady at the radio also contacted her friend at the local tv station and got me on there too.
The city still hasn't built a park lmao.

Why is there a lamp blocking the way behind the so called pool? So you can fly out of the pool and do footplants on the lamp of course. Yes that was my actual reasoning. I played a lot of THUG2 and thought it would be sick.

Don't ask me why the park has no flow and why there are random benches in the grass with no brick path leading to them. Guess I liked walking in mud. There's grass and elevation at the back on purpose though. Before I made it I walked around town to find a place for the park and the spot looked roughly like that.. I really though I could present this to the town hall and tell them where to build it too. Fences all around? I don't know, gotta have fences I guess.

That's fucking hilarious. I wonder they were designed by non skaters. I was shit back then but at least I had a reason for everything I put in. I had visited my auntie in Germany and went to a skatepark for the first time ever. Big reality check for me that only skated crusty street spots. I ate big shit on the quarter, thinking it would be easy, so I had a plan.

>a 4 block was the tallest thing I've skated so I wont put anything bigger

Honestly the worst thing you could say about it is that it's a bit bland and not very flowy, but it has everything. There's nothing I hate more than a park that doesn't have some sort of miniramp/halfpipe, but your bowl covers that. You could even transfer out of it into the bank which is rad. The only thing it's missing is something to pump over in the middle so that you can get speed for the back quarters.
The approach you gave there is honestly what most people should think about when it comes to parks (unless it's somewhere that already has a tonne, at which point you can get more creative). I think parks should be a bit like gyms; you need every type of exercise taken care of so you order machines that cover them. Nothing worse than a gym where you can't do pullups/downs. Nothing worse than a park without SOME transition.

I have 4. One has the pedo moustache sporting 4 panel hat wearing 24/7 baked annoying faggot working there. Other one is the core skater OGs that used to be cool but are now super cringe and turned the skate shop into a coffee shop and they barely have any items in stock. Most of the stuff they stock up they do it for themselves and their flow riders. Very difficult to shop there as a regular skater, they treat it like a special club. Coffee is also reddit. Then there's the real core shop that flows and helps out the young skaters that grind for real. At a surface level it appears cringe, because half of what they sell is hype beast shit, but that's secretly a genius strategy to keep the shop alive and to keep organizing events and helping skaters. 95% of the skateboarding stuff they sell are skater owned brands and no mall tier shit. Last one is the first OG shop from way back in the day that went under and had either close or fully sell out. They're now 100% corporate and mall tier. Literally have nothing to do with the skate scene anymore. Got no team. Make no videos. They just sell nike stuff and shit.

My method for cleaning bearings:
>Take all the shields off
>Put them in plastic container with acetone
>Gently stir them so all the dirt and grime gets dislodged
>Take them out, let them dry on paper towel
>Put 1 drop of sewing machine oil in them
>Put shields back on
>Spin to distribute oil
>...
>Profit
I think the oil just has to be thin and it's best just to have a tiny bit than too much. Too much and it'll leak out and attract more crap into the bearings. Too thick, like engine oil, and it'll slow the bearings down. Sewing machine oil works for me because my gf always has it in the house but I think gun oil might work too.
Wd40 will work for a couple of sessions then make the bearings even worse.
Ultimately if you are really dedicated to skateboarding just buy bones swiss. They're like $45 if you can get em on sale and they'll last 4x as long as bones reds. I recently got my first pair and I'll never go back to Chinese bearings.

its worth cleaning and saving your old bearings, if one of your new bearings goes bad you can swap out an old one or you can be the hero that donates a nice used bearing to someone else. its always nice to have a box of parts in case shit happens.
cleaning out your bearings on a regular basis is nutty unless you are skating thru salt and sand and gravel and shit all the time or your a broke ass skate rat.

well they dont really do that anymore, even when this happened like 4 years ago i was really surprised when they gave me oxys at all. they were a godsend. now they straight up will remove internal organs and not prescribe you shit, its evil.

Depends if you want to spend $10-20 or spend half an hour cleaning them I guess. I usually try clean my bearings at least once or twice but after that it's usually not worth it

I'm just a hard cunt mate, I like pain.
No, I actually am a little wary of addiction to heavy painkillers due to multiple friends becoming addicts (even though it was a larger issue outside of a perscription gone wrong). I try not to use too much ibuprofen because I was taking it for an annoying headache issue for a long time and, idk, I'm just concerned about my liver for it. I've never gotten a truly awful injury though outside of sprains and a minor fracture, so once the swelling stage is over there's not any need for it.

So im pretty sure i fucked up my miniscus on memorial day but I try to avoid the doctor. I have been rubbing cbd and arnica on it, doing stretches, taking epson salt baths, and my wife has a friend who does electro magnet therapy out of her house, and i see her too.
Right now my knee feels almost good , theres no pain at all but it still feels like something is wrong. I have another meeting with the magnet lady this saturday and i am hoping i'll be able to skate by fathers day.
I work at a desk and i only skate in the mornings so it really doesn't take away from work or family ... but idk guys. i think it might be time to face some hard truths about almost being 40 years old and skateboarding.
What really sucks is i have my ollies back to how they were when i was young, to where i had the confidence to clear this gap. My plan is to ease into it and hopefully my knee doesn't get fucked again.

First of all, how do you just decide your meniscus is fucked up? What happened? Second of all cbd/arnica/salt baths are snake oil and literally will not do anything at all if you really have a meniscus problem. Third you shouldn't necessarily be jumping onto stretches, but more so proper mobility work. Fourth what you need is electrotherapy, and not electro magnet therapy, and also all that does is stimulate growth and recovery in the injured area, assuming you have inflamation and even fluid build up and are doing the proper work.

missed a kickflip off those stairs in the webm and stomped my right foot on the ground. the bottom of my foot hurt but my knee hurt way worse and swelled up big time
>Second of all cbd/arnica/salt baths are snake oil and literally will not do anything at all if you really have a meniscus problem.
Maybe but my wife is into all that shit and it does feel better so what can you do?
> Third you shouldn't necessarily be jumping onto stretches, but more so proper mobility work.
i'm not doing huge stretches . very light shit like standing on my toes here and there or touching my feet and laying on my back and humping the air. Also humping my lady in the same manner.
>Fourth what you need is electrotherapy, and not electro magnet therapy
it might be that idk this lady had 4 different stations each one did something different. She also prayed for my knee at one point.

Doesn't sound too bad, but yeah it takes some of the fun out skating when you have to be careful with your movements. Mine just feels like a pressure in the knee, and it doesn't feel smooth to extend, gets sore, just kind of gross. Ben Degros has several videos on his torn meniscus. He described it about the same way, his was locking up on him but he worked on it, it improved and he's still skating well.

i didn't have it locking up but it feels like something is wrong with it when i stretch it out , like it doesn't feel right. I'll look into the Degross videos but if you have one handy can you post it?
>>150399
There's still some swelling but it went way down from the first two days. When it happened i couldn't walk on it at all. I don't remember hearing a pop but that could just be because of the moment. It was the worst pain i've felt from skateboarding.
I don't plan on dying on the hill that its my meniscus- honestly some of the things you guys are saying has me believing it might not be . So if its just a sprain or maybe my knee bent the wrong way a little , thats pretty reassuring. I don't think i'm ready to take an extended break or quit all together

You need an MRI. If the swelling went away somewhat quick it might not be internal bleeding, but you should get it diagnosed at least and have an image of where the tear is if there is one. Meniscuses don't grow back by the way.

Bros, I never thought it was easy, but filming lines is fucking hard. You have to keep close, but not too close, make all the same turns but possibly in the opposite direction thanks to different stances, not crash into anything, make sure you're pointing the camera straight on (my fucking GoPro arm kept bending when I hit the bank), be able to do backside and frontside turns perfectly, skate a weird stance, and so on. And that's before you get into shit like trying to find actually nice angles.
If I can get one truly nice follow along shot this summer, I'll be very happy.

I'm only 28 and all I want to do is skate mini ramps and do slappies. Anyone else like this?
Also I got some fakie tail backside reverts out today. I even did it on a 4 ft ramp. Feels so fun. Been trying to learn how to do them for like 6 months but I could never build up the courage to do them on anything over 2ft high. I went to a new park that had a ramp that slowly got bigger from 1ft to 5 ft and I just kept dropping in and backside reverting until I was comfortable doing them on the 4ft section. Might try do them on something even bigger over the weekend.

Have any of you ever went up or down weight drastically while skating? How did it effect you if so?
I'm starting to wonder just how much difference it makes for balance when going up and down ramps. I notice Joey here is a lot more upright and top heavy when he hits those two banks.

gotta have good heavy momentum weight pushing the board forward while maintaining your upper body balance. that and preventing your wheels from gripping the surface too much, cause your wheels can definitely prevent a good slide unless the ledge is waxed all over

why do people give you advice when they don't know what the fuck they're talking about. I was at the local curb spot trying to get pop shuvs (only been skating for like a month) and this guy starts talking to me. sees me try one and tells me not to jump to the board, I need to pop it so it come to my feet. seems reasonable. he then proceeds to try 5 shuvs and completely miss all of them. now I don't know what to think
Anonymous at Tue, 13 Jun 2023 00:16:02 UTC No. 151060
>>151055
Most advice I get is shit because most skaters don't intellectualise what they do and base it entirely on motor function/muscle memory. They don't really analyse why a trick is working, they just do trial and error until they land on the one that works, then just commit to that. Sometimes they'll give you one good tip but don't realise the other 5 things they're doing that you're not.
I personally like to think about these things, but I'm not sure that actually helps. If anything it probably makes it harder.
Anyway, for shuvs my go to tips (which I think your guy was getting at) are:
>front foot around the middle of the board/further back that you might think. This will lessen how much you need to lift that foot to free the board up to spin and how much you need to move to catch it. Often times it will feel like the board is pivoting around your foot without you moving at all.
>back foot with toes curled over the edge of the tail. This makes it so you have to exert less energy and motion to get it to shuv around.
>don't shuv it straight back, perpendicular to the deck, but more in a diagonal motion towards your front foot, almost like you're going to click your heels together. This helps keep it more centred under your body because you're "pulling" the board into a spin (like how baseball batters will do that nifty trick where they spin the bat in the air)
And if you're like me and the board is still not getting under you, likely rotating out and away from you:
>before you go to pop, make sure your upper body is leaned over your toe side like pic related. You should be able to let your arms dangle down limply and have them past your toes, pointing towards the ground. This way when you jump up, you'll more naturally wind up landing more forward without extra effort
>try to overshoot and bail a few where the board does the full rotation, but you jump clean over it and wind up with it behind your heels
Then it's a matter of not landing stiff legged.

It's fair. Sometimes I look at trick tips from legendary pros and it's just 5 minutes of "yeah you, uh, kinda, sorta, do this with your foot....and just like, commit. You don't want to fall off your board, oh and make sure you do a sorta scoopy flip motion with your foot."
At which point you may as well just look at a long montage of them doing the trick over and over and compare it to footage of yourself.

A lot of these he does casually in the many hopking day int he life type videos on their youtube channel.

Stupidass sophism "argument". It's more like not cumming if you're not doing tricks (aka skating for real). Listening to music with broken headphones. The last one is a literal projection your faggot brain came up with for no reason at all. Totally my fault for having a personal preference to how I personally enjoy my personal skateboarding, and totally my fault that I personally wont enjoy myself if these personal to me requirements can't be met. Retard. I would beat the shit out of you irl just for saying this. Smugass faggot thinking he's all smart and shit. Ask me how I know you literally don't skate. If you get butthurt by someone dissing having to just roll around on your board instead of doing actual skating, then rolling around like a retard is what you do guaranteed.

If you're just getting into it, you're going to look dorky already so a helmet and pads won't ruin your (lack of) style. For helmet, I'd personally recommend Triple 8 Sweat Savers. I used to have a generic Protec one but it fell apart despite never taking a serious bump. The Sweat Saver comes with a handy sweatband insert and is much sturdier feeling.
For pads, Triple 8 again or 186 Killer Pads. Top quality and comfort, will last you for years, pro transition skaters all seem to use them.
Any of the cheaper ones just seem worthless to me. As do bike helmets/anything not specifically built for skating.

So who else here got into skating from playing THPS?
Bought the sickest birdhouse complete back when THPS2 first came out and it's so well made that I still use it to this day. No idea why people even consider other brands cause mine has never snapped (lol you must be so shit if your board snaps) no tail razoring, barely a scratch on it, graphics almost pristine, prob got at least another 10 years of life left even though I rip up my local with that bad boy almost every other month.
I remember when I was first learning ollies in the bottom of the halfpipe and I could barely get the tail off the ground, but I had a secret technique to improve quickly. Every time I made an attempt I would shout 'X!' (like the button to ollie in THPS). It kept my timing and gave me the confidence to keep trying. Sometimes I would spend all day in there shouting it over and over. Let me tell you, it paid off, cause my ollie is fucking solid, probably about as high as 3 or 4 skill points. I still shout X when I ollie to this day and I never bail. I've seen some of the local fuckhead kids laughing at me when I show up at the park and do my warm up ollies, but they soon shut FUCK up when I do a slappy 180 boardslide crook (overhang) first try. And yeah, in case you're wondering, I do shout TRIANGLE for every grind and you better believe I land that shit like a dream everytime, never needed wax. In my mind I see the balance bar from THPS and I just mentally adjust it to keep it centered and it works every time. I fucking love landing high scoring tricks in front of girls especially cause I imagine them like the Neversoft girls you have to impress in THPS3 and it makes me skate better. They definitely stare at me no matter what park I go to, they always stare and giggle at me like flirty like. Everyone knows girls love skaters though. Pretty sure I overheard one of them say I was as good as rodney mullen once and I def have the same skate style (we both ride switch goofy) so makes sense.

I only know a handful of people who don't like him and even then they have to admit the fact he funda the construction of parks around the world is based. I love him. He brought skating to more people than ever, never lost sight of his priorities when the money started rolling in, is still pushing himself into his mid 50s after a life altering injury, is articulate and a good conversationalist, and invented a tonne of tricks. Plus I like vert and hope it comes back in a big way again.

Not sure what you mean by "participant" but get a board I guess? You don't have to be good but it's fun and lets you hang around parks to watch people rip when you're tired. Then you'll just make friends, help out at jams, get to know your local shop better, etc. See if there's an adult beginners night and go to that.

yeah, it's hard because you just wanna enjoy yourself and not become a center of everyone's attention. skateboards are loud. i did have fun though, when i wasn't in my head about things, and was immersed in the moment, finding opportunities that only really exist in that present moment to enjoy myself.
i'm fucking out of shape as shit though, and my balance is super out of tune, but getting more comfortable and confident just comes naturally with more doing. i'm glad i got outside, regardless of the adversities i'd faced, and i recognize now that it was all my fault for any of those adversities in the first place. makes me realize how much of a flawed human i really am, but not in a bad way.

i gotta rant about this dude i recently started skating with. kids young, like 22. is super self-deprecating and self-conscious, to an annoying amount. i have a low tolerance for people like this cause i dont want to hear that shit and yeah im your friend but i dont care, go to therapy. can't stand mfer's that are always trying to make other people feel bad for them. i see the level he skates at, the other day he said he wanted to do an axel stall on this 7 ft quarter even though the dude can barely kick turn with any kind of finesse, looks like he just started skating yesterday when trying to push fast, zero coordination. he gets pissy at me when i even slightly imply something being out of his skill level like dude lets be real.i have never seen you flip your board successfully, you landed a varial flip on accident one time, you are missing a lot of fundamental basics, im just trying to help you. maybe im the asshole for giving unsolicited advice, but he doesn't look comfortable on his board at all. maybe im shallow but who cares what you can do if your style is garbage... he also gets mad over the lamest tricks, i understand the frustration in not being able to land something but it's cringy as fuck to start huffing and puffin over some booty ass trick. people progress at their own pace, sure, but everything he does is so sloppy. poor execution, bad form, no sauce or fluidity. he's only been skating for i think 3-4 years but i feel like it's long enough to develop a decent style. he has good pop though, ill give him that. hope he hones in on that explosive pop for the better by flipping his board and avoiding turning into an ollie guy.

maybe he just has no confidence in himself. i'd be easy on him, he seems like he's already hard on himself enough. also, he will find his own way, just trust. help him if he asks, only if you want to. the egg that cracks on it's own turns into a little chickie, while the egg that gets cracked turns into an omelette.
i'm just playing the devil's advocate though, i don't know how it really is, and it's probably hard to divorce yourself from that emotionality of the situation because of how passionate you are about what you do.

I have one friend like that but they join the sesh less and less thank Christ. They have a real habit of trying something a maximum of 4 or 5 times, giving up, then throwing a pity party for themselves. They don't spend time on just pushing around, getting their balance and fundamentals down, then get salty and upset when they try to skate with the rest of us and get left in the dust.
I managed to bust their balls the other day and make them get kickturns on banks back when they tried to quit, but mostly I just be straight with them and tell them "skating's hard, stop giving up so quickly, do all of your basics first to warm up before trying hard shit".
It's a fucking drag on the session sometimes though. I don't mind giving pointers, but I also want to skate too and I'm not there to be a therapist.

Friends/partners of friends. Plus when you're an adult you're kind of stuck with whoever shows up and they're not always exactly core skaters.
But idk, I think it's a beginner thing. I'm still pretty shit and skate with people around my level so the quitters around me have yet to be fully filtered out. Today though I skated with someone above my level who's older than me, learning new shit and helping me. Got some of my first airs out of a qp today thanks to his tips.

None of them have had skateboards, some entrepreneuring scooters push around for ten minutes then go. Other skaters have no problem with me. What's their deal? Don't want to get in the way? There's a path through the park that leads to a field so maybe they're just passing through but the next way in is a five minute walk.

Any tips? I've only just got comfortable being able to get on top of them to keep flow (such as up one side across the top and down the other in pic rel), but I really want to get some air. I feel like my weight is too far forward and I kill all momentum because I'm afraid of slipping out backwards and splatting on my back. If I ease up a bit it feels sketchy and I bail. No idea what the sweet spot is.

I've only really got them the last few days, but the tip that cracked it open for me was "pump later". I naturally want to pump ramps from the bottom of the transition, so by the time I'd reach them top my body was full extended, unstable and didn't give me the leg room to get my board up into the air, so the best I could do would be a roll out. Being like that makes it easier to be too leaned forward or backwards too which might be your issue. But once I waited until I was at least half way up the ramp (if not a bit higher) to start the pump, I was able to keep my body in a sort of crouched, knees bent position. Then once you're actually in the air it just feels like the latter half of an ollie where you've caught it high, knees bent/body crouched. Then you can either hold that position for a longer air or put it down.
I think if you stay crouched you won't have that problem as severely and you'll be able to find the sweet spot (provided you already have enough speed going in).
I think the other thing is is that you don't really need to lever/manual the board much at all unless the coping is big or unless you're trying to get the board up even higher. So to start off I'd just focus on pumping late and staying in a crouched, knees bent position centred above your board. Once you get a feel for being in the air even for an inch, you can start coming at the ramp faster and faster for bigger airs.

/esg/, you have a time machine that allows you to travel back to the late 70s to a session. You can only remain there for 2 minutes, just long enough to do a full run on your board.

Gave it a go and felt the difference for sure doing this, but did not have the balls to send it properly with just an hour to play with (takes me about 20mins to warm up) and no helmet (too hot). Got maybe the slightest bit of air, so that's a start at least.

Heelflip. Pop shove it. FS 180. Half cab with no pop. Ollie. FS heel landed with one foot only before the time runs out to shock everyone and imply it's a possible trick to do.

you mean I have my board with me? i would just show off my board and try and teach the people around me about all the advancements before I dissapeared, fast forward skateboarding 10 years possibly.

i fumble for 1:50 minutes but manage to land a pop shuvit in the end before getting zooped back.
if its like my niche fighting game contribution, it blows peoples minds but one downplays it as something that shouldve been discovered long ago but they take all the credit for discovering it because they did(/TAStranny'd) it cleaner

Moving ollie at snails pace, which I flub the landing and slip out on in the first 20 seconds, then the rest of the time I remain on the ground crying and nursing my dislocated elbow. In the last few seconds before I get sent back to my own time, I scream "scooters are the future, ditch your boards for scooters".

A start is a start! Nice one. Maybe try rolling off a few curbs to build confidence next time. The feeling of being in their air is freaky at first. The fun part of launching out of ramps is that you can increase the air with more speedz so you'll be flying in no time.
