Donger edition.
You're never too old or too fat to skate. I forget the percentage but it's mainly mental.
Trick Tip:
Don't do the X with your arms before popping a truck.
Skatepark tip:
Less chit chat more skating.

Man that weather is killing me. Sure, not moving from my couch and smoking hash for two weeks didn't help but I almost gave up half an hour into my session from the heat. Isn't October supposed to be chilly? Fortunately I toned it down a bit and got through working on roll-ins and nosestalls and landed a nice frontside ollie (a-almost attt cc-coping height) on a 3-footer despite having flimsy legs all afternoon. There was a whole group of non-denominational Africans with a very average level hogging the bowl because there's an event in a couple of days tied to an international conference/festival on Europe-Africa relationships. Some 20something local was murdering it with stuff like alley oop nollie bs 180s or fs bigspin fs 50-50s but stayed cool (as in, not cool-guy-ing) about it.
Anyways thanks for reading my blog, skateboarding is awesome (when you pick up a taste for suffering to learn things). TRUST YOUR LEGS, NOT YOUR HEAD.

I feel like we must have all gotten psyoped by something like the Olympics or something
I've wanted to get back in for a couple years now (only just found out about the Olympics) but I've also come to realize it's perfect transportation for those situations where a bike is overkill but walking is annoyingly long
also a lot of us are trying to get our kids into it, judging from product reviews

Is there any other way to spend your 20s? Most people aren't able to understand a true balance of work and play when they're still relatively young. As someone who chose to party as opposed to focusing on career or family, reflecting upon things now, I can appreciate my journey thus far as I embark on my current strive for improvement. The alternative, assuming you're not one of the privileged few who had real guidance throughout your youth, would have been to be scared of the future and just work hard as a failsafe method. Then as you get old, you'll find yourself with the regret that you didn't have any fun.

I knew lots of older people growing up from my choice of hobbies. I feel they guided me well in regards to the balance. Amd unironically this place.. There is a time to party and have fun and that is when you are young. You have far less responsibilities, as you age they inevitably build up. I see many who shook their head at me smoking a joint at a party when we were 18 who now do coke every weekend in some sad attempt to feel young again. And there is nothing sadder than someone discovering psychedelics in their 30s. Admittedly skating at this age is some form of cope too, that we are indeed aging. But I'll take this over never having had fun.
Also just work, save and buy crypto. I'm in a much better position than almost everyone I know despite wasting my entire 20s.

Eh, my 20s were:
>teens: largely bullied, outright suicidal at times, but watching all of my friends fall into drugs made me never want to do them so that was good. Skated a bit but eventually gave up because I had negative confidence.
>20-23: going through college, no job, no gf, beginning to get over depression/the relentless bullying of school. Fully feeling like I have no future, not taking amazing care of myself physically, full NEEThood. Worst habit is playing games and being on the internet all day, but at least picking up new skills in video and media that helped later.
>23-27: finally get a gf, we move to the city, get a minimum wage job for the first time, basically just enjoy life. Self esteem is going up, work situation isn't great due to low pay/high rent but I'm actually living for the first time. This gets a bit old and she plus the death of a friend prompt me to try harder career wise
>28-32/now: move to a new city, get a MUCH better job out of the gate (lose it but get an even better one that holds me up throughout lockdown), discover skating again, immediately surpass my teenage self because I feel confident/better conditions for skating. Relationship with gf is winding down, we break up but it's mutual and we're still friends, actually feel even better now.
I know I'll sound like a PSA, but I really don't think anyone should bother with drugs at any age. I think of the darkest, shittiest moments in my life and how much worse they would have been or how much longer they would have gone on for if I'd been an addict like my friends were. At most I'll smoke a blunt once a year and just lie on the couch listening to music, but there's too much shit I want to do that a day of a hangover would force me to miss out on.
I have a couple of really good skater friends my age who have basically done the opposite: been through hellish life events but have substance or emotional issues that drag things out. The substances never help.

Pace yourself dawg. It takes a few months to fully build up those muscles.
The worst for me was when my groin muscles (the ones that attach to the pelvis behind your sack) got lightly strained and I wound up going to get checked for testicular cancer because I'd never felt that pain before. Ended up getting an ultrasound on my nuts. The gel felt good and one of the nurses was cute though. Had to fight the urge to get a boner.

Common i guess huh
i need to warm up next time
For me it's the muscle on the front that connects the leg to the groin area near the hip that is mega tender right now
(i guess the hip flexor)
when i was a kid I also skated and I remember the exact same spot hurt like hell and made me not be able to ollie at all for like 6 months
now 15 years later and it still haunts me

I spent my 20s working and building my "career" instead of skating and doing drugs, now my body is fucked and it takes me a week to recover from an hour attempting basic tricks and my hangovers are so bad that the thought of doing drugs fills me with dread.
trust me, spend your 20s doing fun shit because you have the rest of your life to catch up on the boring shit.

Roll around. Pumping on transition. Just getting the body moving and comfy on your board again. It'll make your first attempt much better too.
If I can, I don't pop my tail for 15 mins or so.
If you're unfit, start working out. Stop kidding yourself. I've skated 3 times this week and feel fine.

This kind of thing but deeper (aim to get your shoulders/head flat on the ground) should help. That and working towards splits. That particular muscle can be under developed if you sit down in an office chair a lot. Just follow any sort of yoga routine, find a couple stretches that help, then do them as part of your session.

Someone was asking about cheap cameras a couple threads ago. I have a Sony NEX VG-10. I bought it with the same lens in the pic for about 500 for "family reasons" , but you can find the body only for about 250. For another 250 I got a Sony wide angle lens + fisheye converter used from Mercari.
Here's a YouTube. I might have to mess with some settings or maybe just clean the lens, because with the stock lens everything looks crisp but it does look a little blurry here. My apologies for the mediocre skateboarding, I finally got my lens a month ago and I'm barely coming off both ankles being sprained.

any extra "converter" in there wasn't considered when they designed the original lens, this goes for speed boosters as well. Also each lens is only capable of a certain level of sharpness, which is usually at around double its wide open f stop so a f/1.8 is sharpest around f/3.6. If you go to /p/ they jack off over lens sharpness tests to the point of diminishing returns, and will pixel peep the shit out of everything.

Strengthen your ankles and wear thick high tops. And when you still manage to sprain them anyway, make sure you rehab them properly.
I've only had one bad sprain over the last 2.5 years I've been skating. The high tops and exercises have saved me many a time.

Spending your early years fucked up is the worst part of skate culture. I grew up doing nothing but drinking and doing drugs and skating and being a punk ass kid and i have a hard time not associating drinking and skating. It's literally ass I'll have a great sesh and all I can think about is how much better I'd feel after a six pack. If I can't get a trick all I think about is maybe a tall can would help. I know skating was always a fuckjob kinda but flip and baker totally fucked me in the head in the ways skating should be approached. Not blaming anybody but it certainly had an effect on me and my skating and a lot of my friends (29)

studies show light resistance training for ~10 minutes will stimulate tendon strengthening, and can be done every 8-10 hours (any faster and less benefit)
so twice a day I do pipe movements with each wrist and some ankle work even static isometrics work (climbers do this with hang board for finger tendons)
tendon strengthening is much slower than muscle growth so have to be diligent

I feel like he was aware that 900 degrees of rotation theoretically existed. He was skating contests where the freestyle guys would be in some corner in short shorts and high socks just spinning around way past 900 on their back trucks.

it feels harder because you can't see as well where you land but it's about as much work as frontside 50s, it's all about feeling your trucks lock in and you aim with the backfoot even if the front foot touches first.

It's a shame Tas burned every bridge around him, beat his wife and was an insane drug addict that nobody liked then. Would have potentially gotten more chances to do it otherwise.
Thankfully he found Jesus and made a documentary about himself that he still came off like a total cunt in though! Good job Tas!

Oof. Leaned too far forward?
My main tip for drop-ins is to get both feet on and crouch low enough that you can touch your hand off the coping to being with. Try to stay that low the entire way through. It'll be a sloppy drop-in, but it should be enough to get you through the fear barrier. If you fall off in the position (unlikely) you'll be close to the ground anyway and hit the ground with less impact or just sort of roll out of it more naturally.

>>172468
>Is there any evidence of any of the claims that Tony stopped him entering?
No but Tas heavily implies it in his doc, and then Tony later points out, with footage, that multiple others were going for it too in his own doc. What probably happened is that Tas showed up but was turned away because literally nobody on that ramp wanted him there. That and everyone could see Tony was on the verge of making it so nobody else was still skating at that point anyway.

You didn't get it;
Many may have thought about it, some may have attempted it, but it was Tas that was getting close to it. The claim of the documentary isn't that Tas CONCEIVED the trick, the claim of the documentary is that he brought it as an idea to the forefront and it made perfect sense for Tony Hawk to land it in a very publicised event to launch the video game. If Tas had entered the contest, there could have been a chance for him to land it before Tony. In which case, there would have been a way to embed it in the marketing, but it's that much more effective for the guy after whom the video game is titled to land a trick that sort of symbolises the progression of skateboarding,nit ti mention that Tas wasn't a playable character. Meanwhile, Tas would probably get his stocks up if he landed the trick in the X-games and he could have made life a bit easier for him, or not. The point is that Grant Britain showed up as Tas was trying it, gave the feedback to Tony ("look, this is your trick if you want to launch the game...simple to grasp, impressive, true to the core") and Tas was excluded from a chance to land it before Tony Hawk.
Case closed. Everything else is cope. Even this discussion is now part of skateboarding's history, which all functions as marketing and therefore in the benefit of Tony Hawk.

No, lots DID attempt it.
Even if, somehow, Grant Britain "stole" Tas' "technique" (which wasn't landing him the trick anyway) and gave it to Tony, that's still fair game. But that scenario is total bullshit anyway because Tony had been getting close by himself for years prior to that shoot, which Tas' doc conveniently doesn't show. Tas' best attempts had him landing way too low to even get his feet to stay on which was the point Tony was at too. If his technique was so good, why didn't he land it for Grant there and then?
Like, what, you think Tony was just pretending he couldn't do the trick or holding off on landing it so that he could market a video game? Like he just ate shit over and over until he broke out Tas' secret weapon? That's fucking retarded. He landed it in July and the demo for the game wasn't out until September, so he was cutting it pretty fucking tight if he supposedly wanted to market the game.
That hard fact is that if Tas' could have landed it sooner, he would have. He didn't. Even if he wasn't a massive prick and they let him on that ramp during the X Games, there's no guarantee he would have pulled it out then either and he says so himself. But not only did he not learn how to get on that trick soon enough (which, btw, he's only done since on megaramp with a totally different technique than what he was going for in the 90s), he didn't learn how to be a likeable person by then either. They probably would have given him a couple of attempts and ended it on schedule. Maybe if he didn't land his ass in prison he would have had more chances.
Tas not landing that trick was on Tas and no one else.

I can practice Ollie's without inner thigh pain now, thanks for all the stretching help anons
only took a month
I had stationary ollies with shitty wheels but now I can barely jump moving ollies
the comments are right bros don't learn stationary ollies
and to the other ollie thigh pain boomer, I waited until most of the pain went away, it started to heal after only a night last week, and then I'd have debilitating pain in 10-15 minutes of practicing (beginning of session only slight to no pain, confirmed with air jumps) so I'd wait until the new day, stretching before and after and throughout the day. I drank more milk too idk if it helped. the healing period got shorter and shorter and now I have no pain
I did just have an extended break with no ollie practice too, haven't tried since saturday so 4 days for the last break.

Tony could have done anything cool it would have had a "marketing aspect". He was already a very well known name by that point, hence his name being on the game in the first place. They didn't even mention the video game during the run either.
I'm starting to think you're actually Tas himself. I don't even know why Tas thinks landing a 900 would have made him money by that point considering he (and Ben) had burned so many bridges and weren't nearly as well known and most vert guys at the time. Maybe if he'd been a nice person he'd have at least gotten in the game and people would have learned his name that way.

Ah, gotcha. In which case (as well as the crouching thing) focus on really slamming your front wheels down. Try to get them to make a big loud crack. You can practice on slopes/banks if that helps, just bear in mind that you'll be gaining speed more gradually that way, whereas transition literally "ramps" up your speed/makes you gain more speed in less time. I used to get freaked out at that on larger ramps and would run out of the drop in even though I had all 4 wheels down.

That clip doesn't apply to Bam. Bam has been a spoilt, fucked up little brat his whole life and it's even documented on film from an early age. It's not his current lifestyle that's the excuse, or his place as a "celebrity", he's just an annoying cunt.

update:
I went skating today
and holy shit was it a mistake
my hip felt alright yesterday so i thought itd be fine
i warmed up
rode around the park
no pain at all
as soon as i try a regular ollie my shit felt like i was stabbed
maybe even worse than before
Ollies on my regular stance are fucked, can't do them
can't do flips
So if I attempted to pop the board i only did it switch or nollie and just rode around looking like a fucking retard
I guess i'll stop skating for a couple months bros
it's over

It's not over man - I started skating seriously for the first time about 3 years back. I'm not good and had no foundations to start with (at 33 years old). I fucked myself up learning how to do a decent ollie and learning transition. Tried to fastrack it cause I just wanted to do more stuff, but holy shit did I fuck all the tendons and ligaments and muscles in my popping leg. My muscles were not ready to be skating as often and hard as I did (3-4 times a week at 2-3 hour sessions) and I was already unfit from years of doing fuck all in an office chair. It got so bad that when I took a break for a week or so, it came out in a huge bruise on my ankle and I got horrendous shin splints. Like you I tried to rush back in before my body had a chance to fully heal and fuck me that was a HUGE mistake. I thought it was over... I rested that shit for about 3 months+, and when I came back, I came back stronger because I let my body do its thing for long enough. If you are patient and try again after you are healed, take it easy and pay attention to when you need to rest, you can and will progress. Obviously waiting around is torture when all you wanna do is skate, but it'll worth it when you pop your next ollie pain-free. Hang in there, anon.

this is other 30yo thigh pain boomer (I'm actually 35) who recovered
take a week off, see how it feels, if it feels ok to jump in the air a little bit and pull your knees up then try ollieing again, if not wait another week or two. Rinse and repeat. I'd say at least ride around in the meantime provided it doesn't hurt too much. I bike too, idk maybe it helped me heal too (i just dont spin if it hurts too much). I was on caloric restriction but for the healing I went to maintenance and tried to get more protein, and of course get enough sleep.

In the podcast he talked about weird situations which got me thinking. Apparently he spent over a year in rehab unable to leave, where they milked over 600k from him. Then there was some random situation with cops picking him up from his hotel and dropping him off at some random place, he goes to sleep in the bushes then they arrest him for it. The clauses on his contract etc. I still suspect the CIA of killing Dunn too. Those guys effected mass culture too much.

This figure changes, but that particular rehab cost 500k and it wasn't Bam who paid for it, it was an anonymous female friend (who I'm pretty certain was Kat von D).
And of course, Bam pissed all of that away and broke sobriety mere weeks after being released, the entire time blaming absolutely everyone around him rather than looking at himself. He's been in and out of rehabs since 2009, developing worse and worse mental illnesses along the way. Honestly, he's resorting to appearing a horror conventions to make money now, so soon enough he'll be broke, unable to pay alimony and will wind up in prison for that and the felonies hanging over his head. All he had to do was stay sober and skate, but now he's on a fast track to a rock bottom even Novak didn't quite reach.

I get that, I think being fucked around with perhaps exacerbated the mental illness. He is not in a great place, but seems to be trying even now to turn it around. It sucked watching him on the nine club only to see weeks later new drama with his family. Who knows exactly what is going on behind the scenes.
>>172830
Anon it is likely your psoas muscle. Sitting down and stress are the main things to make it tight. Bringing explosive movement to a tight muscle can cause strain. You should do daily stretches and some strengthening to that entire region. Just google the psoas and how to stretch it. Probably a bunch of other issues like pelvic tilt etc too. Just slowly working on it will give the longevity for not just skating but a more comfy life. 30+ you really can't get away with doing the shit you did young without stretching it out.

That was grim. I was so happy to see them all together having his back.
>Who knows exactly what is going on behind the scenes.
I mean, I do. Bam can't not post stories on social media when he's having a fit. It's exactly what it seems like: he's an insane narcissist with a persecution complex and he uses it as an excuse to not confront himself fully. On that Nine Club he complains that the town council threw the book at Castle Bam for hosting literal metal concerts and war reenactments with 0 consideration, because he somehow thought that was unfair. He'll complain about the Jackass guys til the cows come home for all the somewhat shitty things they did to him but completely ignores the fact they made him a multi-millionaire and that they ALL went through the party lifestyle AND that they tried very hard, multiple times, to help him get clean.
Just go listen to Radio Bam episodes on Youtube and you'll see him fuck his life up in real time:https://www.youtube.com/watch?
I'm glad he's trying to turn it all around once again, but it won't stick until he admits that he's being a massive shithead and needs to apologise to a lot of people who cared for him. At this point literally everyone from Jackass and CKY including his own family want nothing to do with him, but he keeps lying to himself that it's everyone else who's the problem.

Most people in these threads are just shit posting. A degree of gatekeeping is necessary to keep skateboarding pure. Just look at shit like r/NewSkaters where people justify pushing mongo and act like being over 25 means they're physically incapable of skating. In reality they're just fat retards that want to use their age as an excuse to be lazy and become armchair experts on gear and culture. The Olympics has brought an influx of weirdos to skateboarding, so filtering out some of them is a good idea.

I actually noticed uneven wear on my tail recently and it caused me to change the way I pop and my ollies are coming out straighter now
this made me check as he says to keep the toe more centered in the board and he demonstrates off center popping https://youtu.be/sS7tPR5hsvU?si=Ft3
I wonder if I get something like that with a flat tail (not that per se, maybe even like a cruiser deck) would it let me get away sloppy popping

The only reason people compare him to Mullen is because he is bringing freestyle tricks back into the limelight by promoting himself with wacky products and youtube collabs. I don't hate the guy, but comparing him to Mullen is silly.

I've never seen someone get so wrecked so fast. I was actually shocked he didn't make almost everything thrown at him. For someone with such great freestyle control and transition skills, I would have thought flatground flip tricks would be doable.

I think it's all combos or extensions of tricks (extra spins, extra flips, etc), but so few people do freestyle that there's tonnes of untapped stuff in there. Not saying Andy has invented anything, but he's probably done things that less than a dozen people in all of skateboarding have ever done before.

honestly in my opinion after coming back to skating after 15 years is that i have come to realize that skateboarders are really insecure
they express their insecurities as disdain for people who are not "in" with the culture/ standards
so hating on people who do things differently or in an "uncool" way is really interesting to me
many "skaters" care way too much about what people think of them and this creates a feedback loop in which they themselves judge others based on what they think they are being judged on

As a graphic designer I want to say this is bullshit. You're paying for the marketing bloat. E.g. advertisements, skate team, management, tours, videos etc. The graphic is a tiny cost just to convince you it's worth the extra $$. If you like the brand then I think you should buy it to support them. Skating is in a shit place because the only money coming in is from energy drinks and corporate shoes. So they hold an incredible power over this industry right now.

I don't go to indoor parks, but I've been seeing more women at skateparks in general. Especially at the newer/nicer parks.

last night i had a really scary slip out. i dont remember how i caught the board that caused the slip out so either i bopped my head and my vision went black or i closed my eyes immediately until i hit my tailbone which i do remember hitting then seeing my board blast off.
im kinda just freaked out how i dont have any sign of head injury/whiplash but still dont remember shit how the slip out happened.

Nothing, bro. If that's what you got, that's where you shop. Skaters can be silly as fuck about a whole lot of things and Zumiez is one of them.
