Are wider boards better for taller people? I'm about 5'11, and I currently skate a 7.75

I notice that I wobble easily when skating the mini-ramp, and I sometimes feel like my balance isn't that great when I land flip tricks. I

Its mostly a preference thing. Try going up a quarter inch and see how you like it. For mini ramp that extra stability will probably feel good. What size trucks do you have?

My trucks are also 7.75. I'm planning to move up to an 8-inch board

Should I also get 8 inch trucks as well to match?

Anonymous at Sun, 27 Aug 2023 07:08:28 UTC No. 163840

>>163836
No, you should be fine. It's usually recommended to stay within a quarter inch difference between board and trucks. If you decide to go above 8 I would get some wider ones.

Skating public property is fine in my book. Obviously you should wreck something to a degree it's unskateable, but some scratches and marks is no big deal. If you pay taxes it's as much your property as anyone, but even if you don't, it's public and where you live.

Skating private property is case by case. If it's some old biddies home or a heritage site, yeah, don't be a cunt. But if it's some corporate owned "public private" plaza, wreck that shit. These cunts will unfairly snap up land, then pretend they're not by making it seem like a public space until they change their mind and send out security. Fuck em, we live here too.

no... foot size matters though. if you have big feet and a skinny board, it's like standing on a 2x4. I ride a 8" but I wear size 9.5us. it feels perfect. if you have bigger feet than that, get a 8.25 at least. that's probably the most common board size now anyways. ideally you want the same width trucks, but having slightly narrower trucks is fine unless you land primo, slightly wider will cause issues with your foot hitting the wheels though.

because a new setup is only noticeably different if you change trucks. even decks don't make a massive difference unless you're changing the width by more than a half inch. I can get used to a new deck in like 10 minutes. new trucks, even the same kind with fresh bushings, take time to get "broken in."

Not sure what open or closed means but basically your entire body has a movement chain from top to bottom and if you're turning or leaning at any point during your jump your legs will follow, and in turn your board. You can make the board heelflip by hitting the center of your nose with your toes if you're flexible enough, but if you're leaning or turning it will follow. It's the same with ollies. If you can do a straight ollie then just try and find what you're doing different with heelflips. It could also be a timing issue with your kick but I can't tell. If you kick too early the board could be catching your back foot ever so slightly.

It could also be your back foot position, and that's probably what's actually causing it. If it's too much in a shuv it position the board will turn right when you pop. If your ollies aren't turning I'm willing to bet your back foot is in a different position. Your front foot is not the issue.

So basically you're already turning a little bit when you jump and when you pop your tail doesn't hit the ground at the center, but a bit to the side. If you film yourself doing an ollie, your tail will probably be hitting right at the middle. If you film your pop shuv it will probably look more like your heelflip.

Look at this fag and how centered his tail is when it hits the ground. He's also still scooping at the pop while you're already kicking. That's a millisecond difference but still.

Anonymous at Tue, 29 Aug 2023 11:07:50 UTC No. 164188

And if you also compare your body direction before you pop and when you're landing, you can definitely see you're turning right as you jump. You have to keep your body straight throughout the entire movement of the jump, not only when you're about to pop. It's the same with ollies.

Anonymous at Tue, 29 Aug 2023 11:17:36 UTC No. 164189

You haven't already popped at you're already kicking with your front foot. Tail isn't making contact yet. So basically it's a front foot timing issue. Your tail is about to hit the ground straight down but you're kicking too early and it's tilting right before the pop happens. Scoop first like an ollie and then kick. Not a foot placement issue. Just timing and you're also turning a bit because you're not used to the front foot position being different from an ollie. Since your front foot goes further out it makes you turn. And that's not a problem, but you just have to compensate with your leg muscles when you jump to make sure you're jumping straight up.

get in shape first. lowest possible healthy bodyweight, build your leg muscles, joints, and tendons up by riding a bike up hills while standing. become more flexible by doing daily exercises. the only other real variable is the condition of your body/genetics. you can still cruise around and do low impact shit though. jumping down stairs isn't smart unless you've been doing it for a long time. the most important thing you learn when skateboarding is how to fall anyways, and you tend to learn that the hard way when starting out. this is where being light and flexible can make or break you. rolling your ankle or going a split can be the difference between tearing something or just being sore for a couple of days. spend some time getting in good condition first, will save downtime in the long run.

Yeah and not letting your front foot hang out as much will help, although it's not mandatory. Just wanted to make it a point that your front foot can be anywhere on the board as long as you know what you're doing. I personally leave my foot in an ollie position but I also have to jump higher and kick out harder like kung fu panda. The way you're doing them now will give you a faster and snappier flip, but me I don't like that.

40 isn't too old. Literally just pace yourself, especially early on as you'll be using weird leg and core muscles you didn't know existed. You can work out if you want, but skating is like martial arts in that it IS the exercise. Wear pads and prepare to fall hard in your early days. Stick to transition (bowls, miniramps, halfpipes etc) if you want to avoid a lot of impact on your knee.

I don't think you'll break your leg especially if you're just learning. However, your legs , crotch, ankles, and feet are going to feel very very sore for a week at a time. I used to skateboard through my teens and I'm 38 now and got back into it 5 years ago I think. I haven't broken anything but I have fucked my ACL and recently given myself a very bad ankle sprain. Both from doing stairs and both in the past year. Ive had minor ankle shit happen before but nothing this bad. I work at a desk so it's fine- if you have a manual labor job... I would say take it easy.

the reason i mention height as opposed to foot size is due to centre of gravity

taller people tend to have a higher centre of gravity, so they're more inclined to wobble

having a wider board I presume reduces wobbleness

6ft tall, 11.5UK shoe, 87-90kg riding an 8.5" board here. That combination works well for me. Big enough to feel stable, small enough that I can still flip it. I have, however, noticed how bad my general stance was due to my high centre of gravity only recently. In general I've found that I should have been semi-squatting a lot more, between riding around flat, the whole way through popped tricks, carving bowls, getting to the top of transition and doing a lip trick, etc. Every time I can't make something I remind myself to keep my legs bent the whole way through a trick and suddenly it comes a lot easier.

4:55 fucking kickturns at the apex of transition especially that really blown out frontside one looked disgusting, (see 7:27)

5:17 im not sure what grab this is even but god damn it fucking looks cool it looks like hes throwing a blowtail

nice thanks

yeah I also recently experienced the same thing

I wasn't bending at my knees/hips nearly enough as I thought I was. it wasn't until I filmed myself that I realized how stiff and upright I was. I realized how important it was to squat down when I started skating transition and going off ledges and stairs. It's also especially important when you start doing flip tricks at a high speed. If you slam, it's much easier to absorb the crash when you're squatting down, as opposed to standing straight up.

Same. I rarely film myself but then someone got a clip of me doing an ollie, which was thankfully high due to having a strong pop, but when I could compare it to someone else's clip I could see just how much more upright I was than I thought. I've also taken notes from pool skaters about how pumping is different for them in that they only really start the pump half way up a wall, and once I started doing that in other types of transition I've seen how much more stable I am by the time I reach coping.

I really wonder how the fuck people got good at skating without video sometimes. You could be doing shit wrong for years until you happen upon the right demo at the right time.

I didn't really like the way they looked but they're not as bad in person. man are they surprisingly comfy though... and it's one of those shoes that doesn't really feel like it needs to be broken in. it's like an og slim shoes, not too fat or padded, but fatter and more padded than your average modern skate shoe. I just didn't expect them to feel this good. I could probably go skate right now and not have to get used to them, they just have that feeling.

Depends on the mood. If I want to learn something new, alone so I can really go for it and not worry about what's around me. But just hanging out with the homies is good too, even if it means I wind up playing it safe.

Hey you babies Soletech is blowing out their own shoes again because of Labor Day
30 percent off of all the stuff already on sale. I got two pairs of Emericas for 40 dollars it's a total steal. The local shop owner is probably weeping but oh well it's my wallet not his, so he can kick rocks.

that's kind of annoying because I would have ordered a more expensive pair had they been doing the extra 30% off the other day. but oh well. that's probably the best sale you're ever going to see because shipping is also free. they're basically giving away shoes at this point. lol

Deathwish is literally the gayest team along with Shake Junt. I remember when they both started it was just "dude weed" and stupid rap music that didn't even fit the style of most of the team. the team would show up to demos completely wasted and barely even skate, puking in the park in front of little kids and shit. they are the types of teams/brands that caused skating to fall off around 2013. before that it was all about skating, and not the party bullshit for the most part. so many pre-pubescent teens became retarded potheads who eventually quit skating because of that shit.

I wonder if I should try skating again. Not sure if I'm baiting myself for disaster. I tore my knee up a while ago and quit everything. Been working from home since the scamdemic but recently went to the office. Barely anyone goes but they put a table tennis table and some baddie asked me to play with her. She brought rackets and everything. I'm like sure I'll give it a go and it actually didn't go that bad. I was slow as shit and my knee hurt for 3 days after but while playing when I warmed up it felt ok.

as i said before if you watched the video and didn't see anything wrong then there's not much point in even saying this but if you get to age 30 and you haven't got some kind of valuable skill then you've kinda blown it and your 30s are going to be harder than they otherwise would be. skateboarding or pushing carts at home depot is not a valuable skill.

But he is not content. He posts YouTube videos, has sponsors, does home depot for some extra cash for now. I suppose hoping his yt gets bigger or it helps revitalize his name in the skate scene enough to not need to work a home depot job any more.
He has 10k subscribers now and that day in the life video has 80k views. With some growth + affiliates/merch/new sponsors with his name being more recognizable there is potential to make a comfy living. Be smart with your money, invest (obviously he doesn't seem the type to but maybe he will learn) and he might never need to work a 9-5 or shitty home depot job again.
Seems he has a comfy home life and is content enough to give it a go. You and me don't because we see that as a bum ass dream that probably won't happen for us. But for him it might.

I've always wondered; is it possible to make a genuinely good skateboarding movie? I feel like the actual "good" ones barely have any skating in them. There are lots of good skating documentaries, so it's surprising there's basically no good fictional films (aside from some so-bad-they're-good ones).

>wtf, a dedicated skater is working a blue collar job and scraping by?! Why isn't he making Danny Way money?
I don't really know what you guys expect the life of a "pro"/full time skater to be like. Being decent at it takes so much god damn time and there isn't, for whatever reason, THAT much money out there for everyone to be a well paid pro even if they're amazing at it. Of course you have to scrape by to make it work.

The lack of aspirations or ambitions thing is a bit of a double edged sword. On one hand it sucks and you can be a nothing Big Lebowski type that only gets more unappealing the older you get and it can leave you pissing in the wind when you're too old or injured to skate any more, but on the other hand it's nigh on enlightened to be able to enjoy a simple pleasure in life. I've met all sorts in my life and the go-getters with amazing careers and money out their ass are more often than not really miserable, boring people with no time or capacity to live, and the old men lived like that are especially bitter by the time they reach retirement because the money doesn't buy back the lost time, usually riddled with even worse health conditions because they didn't exercise or sleep enough and ate like shit the entire time. They crash and burn in a really negative way.


And on one hand I wish skaters had 2000s money again, but on the other hand the majority of those guys pissed it all away anyway. The only true success is somewhere in the middle, and hopefully they get paid for it.

Possible... yes. But it would have to be a kids movie, or feature young kids as the main characters to evoke nostalgia. Too many ways to ruin the movie with teens or adults... dude weed, cliche shit, going pro, the list goes on. You'd have to capture the foundational natre of skateboarding, which is nothing more than fun. something with the feel like sandlot, goonies, or movies that simply follow around neighborhood kids doing literally basic daily shit kids do. no real "plot." trying to hard to make skateboarding bigger than what it actually is is always the reason skate movies are cringe, unrelateable, and suck dick. it's made for normies or tryhards who have lost what made them originally get addicted to sakteboarding... just skateboarding.

i met her once. i was too nervous to talk to her or look at her skate too much bc i had a crush on her. before i met her i had already checked out her instagram. i think she has decent style but i don't think she's pro level. I think its more wack that she didn't even have a video part before she went pro. but i guess that's just the times. I personally don't mind setting the bar lower for women, its a sport and i'm all for more women skating but i think to become pro, you have to at least jump through the hoops of establishing yourself with video parts and contests. But at the end of the day, skateboard teams are all marketing to get you to buy products. It doesn't really matter. Just keep buying what you think is cool

Here's an autistic, reddit-style breakdown routine you can follow that might get you results (because I did this and it worked). This assumes you haven't got perfect basics/foundations yet, but are fairly comfortable on your board, like you can ride around, push comfortably, roll off small curbs, that kind of stuff. Do 3x practice sessions a week for about half an hour to an hour, or more if you're young and fit. First, practice doing tail stops and being 100% comfortable with putting that back leg down while raising your front slightly. When you can do that without fear, try little hops (hippy jumps) on your board and be comfortable landing back on without bailing or feeling unsteady. Remember when you jump to keep you shoulders in line with the board at all times and don't overstretch upwards like you're jumping to shoot in baskeball. Start with a slight squat, do a knee tuck style jump and land into a slight squat, which should keep you safe. Once you can do that add the pop of the tail to the little jump. The timing here is important and will take you a bit to feel it out - Ben explains it best here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZhMXWkPsWw&t. Once you can do a stationary rocket ollie without feeling like you're gonna die, add the front foot slide. Again, the above video talks about how little is actually needed for that slide. If you're putting them all together, you should now be doing an ollie. Do it rolling as soon as you have the balls to, even at a snails pace, and work up to moderate speed. For rolling it will feel weird again at first, but just make sure you do a few stationary practice attempts with good form to have the feeling fresh in your mind, then just go for it. The number one thing that may fuck you up is balance and feeling like you're going to slip out and die. The only cure is to practice and commit. Here's a webm for visualising form and inspiration. Good luck.

>>165259
Sure. Stand on your board in your normal stance, back foot on the tail. Transfer 95% of your weight onto your back leg so it pushes the tail down towards the ground, your back leg will become straight. Allow your front leg to follow the motion the front of the board makes, it will rise slightly as the angle changes, just let it happen and your knee will bend. You might feel awkward at first because it feels like you will slip out, but just do it fast as you can, don't hesitate. If you can manual at all, you can do it slow if you want and should have no issues - experiement with both as you get more comfortable. Now start rolling slowly and do the same motion to come to a stop. You can lean forward slightly to counteract the shift to your forward momentum that may cause you to be thrown off balance. Try not to let yourself lean back too much, always go with the momentum of the board. Keep doing this and get faster as you feel more comfortable. Enjoy scraping all your tail away on the ground. Try it with some heel if your prefer to ruin your shoes instead.

one of the best ways to learn i think is to imagine the physics of it, visualize why the board is doing that in response to what your body is doing to the board. another tip is you are throwing the back tail into the ground and using that as a 'launch pad', you must be in the air before the tail pops off the ground

Ooof, dang, have done similar before. Don't forget to drop your weight/bend knees/keep centre of balance low. Sounds like you were too top heavy and came to a stop faster than you thought, wound up lurching forward and falling.

Personally I usually slow myself down by just dragging my pushing foot. If I want to come to a total stop I do a sort of tail drag, but I use my toe to touch the ground rather than my heel, which will normally make me rotate. That or I do a sort of no comply pressure pop thing and send the board into my hands so I can walk away, but that's usually at slower speeds and when I want to keep walking forward.

The rumors always been the sex scene at the end of kids wasn't simulated. Like I said, just some dumb groupie who hung around the 90s nyc skate scene. Why exactly dill and fat bill are obsessed with her i couldn't tell you. Probably because they're all just weirdly obsessed with harmony korine

>how the fuck do you flip a 10?
You can do anon. Those really wide shaped boards are sometimes a bit shorter and have a a smaller wheelbase. If you can kickflip on your regular board you can for sure do it on a wide one.

People just assume you aren't clinically retarded so they just go to the most obvious and probable solution.

I didn't realise I was doing this til I went to ollie over something. Realised I need to stay more square over my board. It wasn't really shoulders or legs or anything but just keeping my whole body more parallel. I also think just being comfy on your board, that it's a bit of a mental/safety thing. I'll go a couple months off the board and then try pick up where I left off.
No clips because I realised what I need to work on and it's a bit embarrassing. Also tried the heelflip advice and they felt so much more comfy when i keep my feet more centred pre trick. Keeping my back foot centred eliminated that rotation I was getting.

>HELP! I have a Nvidia card and my game crashes on startup!
Try the dgVoodoo option in the new win10fix settings.
Alternative: Update your AAU and see if it happens again. If so, disable win10fix, enable wined3d and software vertex processing.
>HELP! Required Windows 11 update broke things!
winkey+R -> ms-settings:developers -> Terminal=Windows Console Host
