Should i get two sets of wheels, one for the park (when its finished building) and a softer wheel for the street? The sidewalks here are unbearable at times especially the brick roads that shift randomly at the worst possible times

Best to have two separate decks imo, i have a deck just for slappies (8.75, indy 159s, bones x formula 56mm) and then another deck just for bowls (9, ace 66s, spitfire f4 99d 56mm)
Doesn't fuck me up to change between them

What would the best way to go about finding skaters to sponsor?

depending on how slick/non slick the ground at your new park is, you can probably get away with some softer wheels that will still give you some slide where you need it. those Powell Dragon wheels or Bones X formula shit is probably what you wanna be checking out.
>>169196
it doesn't fuck you up to change between them because you're just skating pools and doing slappies. if you skate ledges it's a hard transition from skating softer wheels that grip into the ledge and give you zero slide whatsoever compared to hard F4s that will slide very nicely across the ledge in comparison. you also have to take into account how wheel size and shape can effect your flip tricks and a bigger, softer wheel will make flipping your board feel clunky as fuck, compared to having something like some F4 tablets that will flip and spin without any issue whatsoever, almost to the point where it feels awkward.

As that other anon said, you'll probably wind up never being bothered to change to wheel for every session and are better off having two setups. Or maybe even Qwiktruks. They seem pretty legit. The prospect of unscrewing and rescrewing 4 gnarled nuts every time you want to skate somewhere else, vs the quick release of a Qwiktruk is no contest.

Less so than board dimensions, but yeah. I like Zero's stuff most of the time, and then just anything sort of grungy or horror related. I love classic 80s Powell type stuff too. The only things I don't like are super "fresh" styled decks or anything abstract and avant garde. I want something stark and heavy metal looking.

What's wrong with them? I always thought they seemed like a shitty gimmick, but sometimes the idea that you could change trucks so quickly is appealing and I consider getting some. I cvan't help but to imagine that they are dangerous, though. I dunno how it locks in, but I always imagine there's a risk of it fucking up or being accidentally triggered during grinds and suddenly your trucks just fall off at the worst moment.

Everyone I skate with is a "I used to skate" person. Mostly friends that I grew up with skating that now only skate if I invite them. Skating with them is kind of irritating because most of the time they'd rather stand around and talk about what they used to do or "remember when..." than actually skate.

>Bringing two set ups to the sesh
Aside from people who ride cruisers to the spot/park I've only seen people swap out set ups mid sesh once and it was some literal 40 year old boomers who each had 3 or 4 of basically the same set ups in their trunks just slightly different shaped boards. They were both trash, skating with their arms fully extended half the time going slow as hell, could do 50 stalls on the mini and carve the bowl kinda. They were also blasting rancid and offspring and shit right off the pro skater soundtracks killing the vibe for everyone except the two of them. I asked the one guy why he had so many different set ups and his response was just "idk I like to try different things" and all I could think was why don't you try skating more and getting better as opposed to buying more shit.
I understand having a tranny set up and a street set up and even a cruiser set up too but there's a point where your taking it too far. If your at a park and half way thru your street sesh you go get your tranny board to carve a bowl for a while your retarded.

Yeah, I think a lot of Japanese skaters never had the whole "illegal" or "kook" trick thing, so a lot of them took shit like bonelesses to a super techy level. Someone argued before that the cities there are so much more dense and weirdly laid out that you sort of have to get techy to make much of it at all. No big Californian smooth run ups to big stair sets or grass gaps, just lots of weird little ankle high rails and ledges protecting shrubbery.
That and I think a lot of them just like to do comedic looking shit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hbm
I actually love thinking about how the architecture of different places informs different styles of skating. Like how Brazil, with its hilly cities and shitty surfaces, started off with a big downhill scene and eventually a transition/pool scene, but street skating never really took off the same way because of how hostile it was to it. The UK had a tonne of parks in the 70s, but they were all trying to do the Z Boys thing and making it all wavy and surfy, but the streets are anything but and just riding from A to B around all the old wrecked pavements was the real challenge.

Sorry for the probably silly question but I just got new trucks, and the axle nuts have little (rubber?) rings in them, so i can't really thighten them that much, only to the ring.

Those stay on. If the trucks are brand new it's recommended you ride them as they are to break in the bushings before tightening them anyway. You should be able to tighten them as much as you need after that.

that's pretty interesting - i hadn't thought about how the urban planning of a city would affect the skating styles
i remember in that classic Gou Miyagi video he does those THPS-type grinds on those circular rails: https://youtu.be/4qMUXPRTx-k?si=seR
I remember thinking that we don't have those types of rails here in north america
it's a bit disappointing that skateboarding culture (at least in north america) seemingly extolls virtues such as self-expression and freedom, but a lot of skaters are quick to dismiss wacky and zany tricks as being invalid or even "cheating" (in the context of a competition)

That's the point. It blocks the end of the axle, to be flush with the end of it. That's why I find it weird. So I can only tighten them like 3/4.

It's a nylon lock nut, tighten it at least until the nylon is fully on the threads. Beyond that it's a matter of opinion how much play your wheels should have; I like about one cunt hair's worth.

There is a fine line but the Japanese crossed it long ago. It's funny it is one or the other. Super cringe flatland wiggers or the most robotic SLS skaters alive.

Jesus what a pleb. I genuinely believe punk elitism is why shit like flip tricks became the norm, because the barrier to entry is much higher and you either land a kickflip or don't, and just landing one automatically makes you "good". Because it was too much to ask for new skaters to try and do a boneless but then learn how to make it look good because doing a basic boneless was too accessible. Skating had to become all cool and core and shit because it went to the streets and god forbid that other kid down the road actually liked playing on his board too.
>a 5 year old could do it
Yeah, but there's a fucking galaxy of difference between what Super Rat does vs the sloppy baby steps of a noob. You are literally mentally disabled if you can't see a difference.
And while I'm at it, FUCK BATB for promulgating that flip tricks on flat are all that matters, and FUCK SLS for rewarding nothing but switch flips to grinds. It's the most un-fun type of skating that exists.

i feel you buddy, used to skate as a teenager but fucked up my knee and stopped for like 8 years. back now at 27 as well and can't remember anything, i can push but that's about it. everything else is gone. all my mates that i used to skate with all quit too and are either too into drugs or have a family.
the best bet is to find a shopping mall or somewhere with underground parking and skate there after hours. usually it's empty and you can practice getting more secure on flatland without being bothered by the rain, it's what i'm doing at the moment and haven't had any trouble

I've had decent sessions with other people like 10 times in my life. I just had one this morning and it was the first time in months that I spent more than 3 hours at the skatepark, it was just 2 guys happening to be there and wanting to look for inspiration in others and to try new approaches, it was nice. Usually I just embrace the morning autists' congregation vibe when I go there in the morning and it's dudes staring at their feet trying the same things for hours on end.

Guys I think I vibed a dude hard as fuck. He was an older dude skating around. I don't know how to describe it but he looked like he had irl AIDS. At the skatepark where me and five other dudes. Everytime someone landed a trick this dude was making commentary. I smiled at him once and then I just had a weird feeling like "this dude's a pedophile" . So I avoided him the rest of the day. One time he tried to give me knucks and I ignored him. Not straight up, I'm not an asshole -I pretended to trip over a rock. Sometimes he would tell one of us ,"now that's what I call steez" and raise the roof while saying it. He was very strange and I think the holy Spirit was telling me to avoid him.

The absolute best besides being absolutely alone is when the other guys are really really stuck in the same spot just like you are, and every fifteen minutes or so people naturally shuffle spots without ever getting in one another's way.

How? The only thing I can think of that sucks about parks these days is how they're all mostly cookie cutter Olympic style training grounds, but that's kinda the point of going to a park, to practice for the street.

FDR is insane literally everything is fucking huge and they just built some shit that might be bigger than anything else that's been built there. They have a "mini" with a spine that's like 6 or 7 feet. It's basically half pipe size. I've never been a tranny skater so every time I go there I'm just absolutely confused as to what the fuck to do but I have homies that rip the place up like it's nothing. Month or two ago my homie got fucked up there and was paralyzed on one side of his body for like 2 days, had to have surgery and shit. Place legit scares the shit outta me

Beginner question for all you ollie pros: is doing an ollie into/onto something (like a grind) the exact same as doing a fat ollie on flat, or are there actually some kind of microadjustments you need to consider? I've noticed for noseslides people tend to pop with their front foot already more towards the nose in a wide stance, so that it's already there when they hit the object, but what about other tricks?

There's oogling and being a literal pedo and there's having a sort of objective "she's cute but not for me" sort of attitude. Idk, I've found that as I get older there's a kind of quiet, respectful way you can look at the world while knowing you're not part of it any more.

You absolutely make adjustments for every single little trick, you have to get the board to do what you intend it to do. The difference in foot position for me between a back 5-0 and a front 5-0 is greater than between a flip and a heelflip, but with time and muscle memory I don't consciously think about it.

nobody smokes anymore, I havent bought a pack since march, you might go thru a week of shit when you quit but its nothing like quitting real drugs or alcohol. Whatever you do dont switch up for a vape or nicotine substitutes. just go cold turkey and be done with it, you'll feel a lot better after even a week of no cigs.

Please elaborate. I can rock fakie, axel/feble stall and 5-0 on a 3ft quarter. Can also ollie to fakie and fs ollie around the coping. But every time I skate tranny I need to warm up to get these or they feel sketchy. And bigger ramps and I lose all confidence. I'm also prone to slipping out, taking hippers, being flung to flats, landing my ass on the coping and doing all types of uncoordinated falls the moment I touch tranny. It's bad, I see guys who would ask ITT how to Ollie who are better than me at it.
I really want to get good at it, some boomer rocked up to my local and just the mini we have. Probably 20+ years on me and was shredding.

Just keep at it. You do a lot more squatting with transition so your legs and core are going to get stronger to help you keep balance. With street you're mostly in a more upright position, and your high center of gravity is what's making you slip out or struggle with tricks and bigger ramps. Literally bend your knees. You won't be able to do it long at first, but you'll build up the strength to hold that position for longer after a while.

They ARE scary. I've gone through phases of losing them because I do the sort of self fulfilling prophecy thing of being scared I'll fall -> leaning back too much to get away from the danger -> being off balance and being more likely to fall -> being scared I'll fall. I'd have them on lock one week, then the next they'd be gone again. Only real solution is to keep doing them and keep improving them by making sure you're properly rocking them/getting the back wheels up.

Any tips for getting used to whippy QP's where you haven't got much thinking/adjusting time between the bottom of the ramp and suddenly being at the coping? I keep either killing my speed by leaning into the transition, or jumping off my board as soon as it gets onto the coping. I just wanna do a simple rock fakie or 5050 stall, but it feels like I'm going to be yeeted backwards into the next dimension if I stay on my board once I get near that coping. Pic related and similar to what I'm trying to learn on.

Jesus that looks like a nightmare. Maybe start with kickturns/slashers/5050s to get used to the whippiness. Then, idk, keep your center of gravity low/knees bent so you don't whip out as hard if you do.

Can you reach the coping with your back truck just doing a kickturn up there? If not, work your way up. If you can, the speed will be barely enough to do a stall, you're not getting yeeted. Skateboarding is 80% in your head, mang.

>that looks like a nightmare
It's fucking horrible, but I feel like if I conquer it, everything else will feel baby tier in comparision. I don't do slashers on it and I usually kickturn a little before the coping as the sharpness of the incline approaching it always throws me off, but I'll give it a go next session.

>Skateboarding is 80% in your head, mang.
It's 80% mental when you having been skateboarding for years already and have conditioned your body for it. I'm not there yet, so it's more like 50/50 at the stage I'm at.

What do you guys do to get yourselves pumped up to skate?

>now I can't seem to practice without pulling my right (I ride regular, so pop leg) hip adductor? Inner thigh hurts like HELL after practicing, can't jump without it hurting after
lately I've tried stretching before, the side to side stretch like they do in DBZ (seems to hit that area), and touching toes etc but I still pull that muscle/tendon
every time I do it I'm out a couple days of practicing
any tips? any stretches I'm missing? or man up and just keep going/pulling/resting?

what are you guys actually doing? how do you many of you get a board and instantly start pulling your muscles?

i was fairly active with running before skating. when i started pushing a board for the first time it gave me tendonitis that needed 4 weeks to heal. havent experience that again after 2 years.

slow the fuck down, what muscles are going to be warmed up when you skate, the ones you're going to use to skate
you just warm up real slow like

every single place you go as a girl people fucking just literally stare at you, and everyone has to have something to say to you, and they have a scenario concocted in their brain of how you're supposed to respond. try to understand that. it fucking sucks. that being said i do always do at least say hi back to people. but its so fucking annoying when i roll up and everyone is standing around doing their own thing but suddenly when i'm there everyone is staring at me and if i don't engage them in conversation they get all offended.

8-8.25 deck with trucks that fit. Avoid reddit brands and gay memes like risers and deck rails. Don't use philips head hardware. Don't buy bearings more expensive than bones reds. Jessup is our grip. Don't get soft fat faggot wheels.

Went to skate hall yesterday
Had fun
Going back today to have more fun
Even as older beginner you can have fun
At times I have felt like a little kid again while improving my skills

>>171703 this but hardware and bearings don't really matter. any hardware works and for the bearings, as long as they're for skating they're good enough. only really shitty chinese bearings can be a problem. I would say get some lightweight trucks I use tensors, ollies don't take as much energy with light trucks.
