thanks for making the new thread

ALSO

since you guys want to talk about skate stuff, DLX is going to make boards in China now. it got mentioned at my local shop. i don't know where you guys live but here boards are getting way too expensive, and apparently some DLX boards are going to cost EVEN MORE or something?? so they're going to have Chinese boards to keep some boards at regular price. the owner of the shop was freaking out. now that i think about it he's been stress and worried for the past 3 years lol.

you think this thread has good discussion about skateboarding? there's nothing in here. it's a desert. there's no discussion of current skateboarding events, skateboard history, skateboard gear, nothing... occassional trick tips on rudimentary tricks like ollies and 50s in transition but otherwise it's just petty squabbling. i love 4chan, i've probably been coming here for a decade longer than you, but this thread is probably the worst general i've ever seen on this whole website and i say that with no exaggeration. i don't even know why i come here.you think this thread has good discussion about skateboarding? there's nothing in here. it's a desert. there's no discussion of current skateboarding events, skateboard history, skateboard gear, nothing... occassional trick tips on rudimentary tricks like ollies and 50s in transition but otherwise it's just petty squabbling. i love 4chan, i've probably been coming here for a decade longer than you, but this thread is probably the worst general i've ever seen on this whole website and i say that with no exaggeration. i don't even know why i come here.

land on bolts, they shouldn't be held responsible for your poor form

I basically went to my local and picked a shoe, they said they didn't have it in the color way I wanted and I essentially burned through every colorway. I like last resorts, I've been skating the VM001 and 3's, so basically the same shoe with padding pretty much exclusively for a year now. I strayed away to a low top shoe only once and rolled my ankle running down transition in the pool. Since then I've sort of stuck with the added security of the high tops. I honestly preferred the no padding when I was just skating transition but never wore the nose of the shoe nearly enough. I typically almost exclusively burned through the big toe, toe pad patch on the shoe. That's more of a me thing and happens with every shoe I use. That being said, I pass off the burned hole ones too another (skater who wanted the shoe for everything else it's good) I gave it him at no cost. The only other shoe I ended up trying was the nike sb blazer high which was about 100ish dollars as well. Only premature failure I'd say was due to how I slid down the concrete and stripped a portion of the stitching that holds the lacing panel to the lower panel. The newer model with the padding works although I never really bothered with a ton of flatground. I went through all the colorways, and there were some pretty wacky white and teal ones, but the bone/white, black/black, black/white, red/white, red/blue were all relatively stylish, not a disgusting shoe if a bit loud with some colorways

Most of this post was in response to >>152686 but I am a mistake maker. Also >>152687 is right, I don't really see many other people wearing them but I enjoy the shoe. So I don't really care what people think in that sense. Plus it's as consistent in feel as the jessup on my board.

I don't disagree with you hence why I was unsure if I was in wrong. It happened like the guy whose friend snapped his creature board, back tail snapped off. I didn't stomp or anything though and am not a consistent board breaker. I've landed that way hundreds of times before so I'm convinced it was a defective product, in which they should have followed consumer law imo.

this woulda been an even better scenario for you then lol. dm them on instagram a 100% chance youd get a new board instead you just went to your local shop to complain about a local brand which is just going to cause some dumb drama somewhere. i guess we all do stupid shit when were angry but know all this its particularly dumb.

Yeah, 100% tell your local company that their boards are defective. They might not even know and would be happy to send you a replacement in order to keep their credibility. Your local shop doesn't know the durability of the things they order unless they were to actually skate them/make the unsellable and it'd be unfair to shelve the cost on them. It's probably good that they at least know something they're selling is garbage, but otherwise it's just bad luck on your behalf.

I mean, I bought Indies from my local only the find out the stock bushings were garbage (which seems to have been the case with a whole run of them), so I just told them and got some Bones so they can at least forewarn people buying the rest. And shit like that is how your local shop will say "hey man, don't buy those wheels/bushing/bearings/whatever, they're pretty low grade" next time you shop with them.

Waste of money unless you're poor and you can't afford a good set up. If you want to change sizes you've already wasted the money, if you want to stick with them, you're stuck with shit gear.

I wish there were a website where you could look at every deck released by every company over the years.
Found pic related while searching and it has triggered a deep sense of nostalgia.
First deck was a black and red birdhouse with two golden serpent-like dragons on it. Can't find a pic anywhere.
Was always a huge fan of the blind decks with the reaper mascot. Particularly the one where he's eating a mushroom while there's a giant mushroom cloud behind him.

Not bad even though you're getting element brand trucks and wheels which wont resell for a decent price, although they're definitely skatable and not complete trash. This looks like a 7.75 board though. Kind of a baby size even though that's all we skated back in the day.

Thanks again for the input.
Visited the local shop and ended up with pic related.
Went to the skatepark early this morning so I'd have it to myself.
It was a humbling experience.
I'm 100lbs heavier and nearly a foot taller than I was when I last skated.
I can still ollie / land kickflips if I'm hanging on to a rail or fence for stability, but I'm going to buy a helmet / pads before I attempt to ollie while moving or even go near a ramp.

Ew. Those bushings on the ventures will die in a month probably. Especially if you're a fat fuck, considering you're holding onto fences and thinking about buying pads and helmets. I replaced mine with bones hard bushings and they're good.

the thread was already off to a terrible start when the dude started posting about how nollie shove video. and not because of the autistic fighting or shitposting that followed, but because nobody actually knows the difference between a nollie frontside shove it (it goes in front of you) and a nollie backside shove it (it goes behind you). i'm sure this a very hard concept to grasp for some of you, including this retard (>>156198) who was so confident in being wrong he had to post about it two times.

and thats whats really wrong with /esg/. not the autistic fighting or lack of OC or obvious bait posts or new posters asking how to roll down their driveway. but the posters who are so ready to talk about skateboarding without knowing shit about it. this retarded eurocuck is shitting the bed because someone is saying "frontside halfcab" but nobody actually bothered to tell all the retards in here earlier that they don't even know what variation of a nollie shove they are correctly doing.

These with cupsole are objectively better for skateboarding than other shoes.
The reason people no longer wear them is the same reason no one wears a helmet.
Skateboarding is about style.

I always pay in cash because for card payments they have a tablet on a stand which they spin around for you to put in your PIN. At the end there's a prompt for you to tip with buttons for 15, 25, and 30%.
I guess it makes sense if you're having them assemble a board for you, but I'll be damned if I have to feel guilted into paying an extra 5-10 bucks just because a guy reached under the display case to retrieve a set of wheels for me.

Hi cali-friends ,
I took two of my kids to the swap meet yesterday and I found an abandoned picnic spot on Boquet Canyon in Santa Clarita. I used to commute there through this road but my wife gets sick with the curves on the road so I haven't taken it in years. What used to be a man made pond is now dried up and I think the area-with extensive clean up- would be so skateable. I had my 2yo with me and there's no way I couldn't get out and take pics without just chasing that one around.
This picture is from Google Earth.

They don't have great pictures but I showed my brother and he's down to take his kid and I could take my 12 yo . We just had our 5th kid on the 8th so I can't spend too much time on it I'd probably have to go section by section or clean up a little bit here and there.
My main concern is that it's right on the side of the road and in the national forest so idk if skateboarding on federal land is going to end up fucking me. It's full of graffiti and I bet people fuck in that gazebo all the time so maybe it'll be fine.
One day I'm going to get a better look at it before I put the effort in because if the concrete is shit or the ground is too crusty it may not be worth the trouble. I found a YouTube with drone footage but it doesn't really focus on the dry pond.

Yeah, a little bit I guess. I have seen two people with a skateboard and one person on one in the past 10 years. The one guy is a friend who has a skateboard in his house and I told him to do a kickflip. He couldn't but he was also wasted. The two were at the local empty skatepark. One was just listening to hip hop on the bench and the other was sitting on the halfpipe making out with a girl.

is freestyle still gay? i free skate a court by my local park and skater bros always coming up to say whats up wtf is that board. my style is somewhat aggressive and shitty and i get really sweaty doing it.

also theres always these weird loner skater guys who can ollie really well and kinda kickflip, but nothing else. they always come up and try to be friends and get my number but theyre just fucking weird vibes. maybe theyre just gay
