finally got to skate today after having to travel all week for work it was the first time i had to take a day off barring the weekly day off the pool felt weird for a little bit but it warmed right back up to me was pretty tight not thinking about anything and feeling the transition again
i can imagine getting mogged by little rippers it happens all the time but im relatively unbothered at this point im just doing my thing for me basically
also getting to skate definitely regulates the kms energy

I lost these by not doing them enough, so now I get to relearn them. yay I guess
I'm 90% sure I need to put my front foot further up (the kickflip part isn't finishing most of the time) but my muscle memory is fighting it kek. weird as fuck because my muscle memory as it is now can't do a 3 flip. probably my setup changed, I went from high trucks to mid trucks, and possibly tighter.
Anonymous at Wed, 22 Nov 2023 01:28:28 UTC No. 176577

to add onto this, I think my body is really "fighting" to keep the 3 flip from getting away from me. from what ive observed on instagram I need to release my weight/jump off the ground earlier relative to the scoop.
im so jelly of kids who can do this trick with little effort. which seems like everyone these days

I lost tre flips for a while too. I just started trying them all the time. I can land them 9 times out of ten now. I like doing them after landing ledge tricks and I always end a session with one. Just practice them every time you skate and you'll get them back.

No idea if anyone here can help me, but there's a 5ft mini at my local similar to pic related, but with less flat, so it's more compact and U shaped. I'm trying to learn basics, but mostly to get up on the coping for a 5050 stall, or even to just do a fly out, but I can't even get close to the top before I get yeeted forward off the board. The green line on pic related is where I usually get to, then I get thrown forward into the ramp coping, or have to jump onto the top but my board gets left behind. What the fuck do you have to do to maintain balance getting towards the top of coping on anything over 3ft? I think I'm leaning into the ramp too much, but when I try to adjust and lean back it feel like I will lose control, slip out at the top backwards and eat shit.

This is a female's argument. It's just griptape. For skateboarding. I'm not repainting a car or making my own fender from scratch where griptape types matter and have different applications.

There is noticeable difference in grit, not griptape brand itself. New Black Magic is much more coarse than new plain Jessup for example. If you are pretending there is no difference at all, with any grip, then you are just trying too hard to look cool.

Guess there's no way around it, I'm gonna have to eat the shit. I think I'm just scared of the coping so I'm subconciously auto-bailing when I get closer to it. I can do it on smaller minis, cause if I bail it's barely any higher than being on the flat, but bailing bigger transition feels bad.

There's no way around facing your fears because skateboarding but I always try to solidify my foundation before facing the fears. Like you can ride the shit out of those smaller minis until you're absolutely comfortable on them before you go for the larger mini. It's the same thing as rolling around for months vs trying to learn ollies right away, it's always better when you're more comfortable on the board. It ain't a race and even if it was, time spent getting your balance and board control right saves time later.

That's what happens. People move on with their lives and don't want to be stuck doing the exact same thing all the time. The way they record videos probably takes it out of the majority of people who do them. They should really just stick to doing one per week, but it's probably Gabe that's encouraging the extreme schedule they have. People get tired of having a camera pointed at them 24/7.

The 93A dragon formula sort of do do what they claim to. You can slide them and they are noticeably smoother on roughish asphalt. They don't slide as well as any 97A - but are a lot moore forgiving/smoother than 97A. As mentioned earlier - they do make nails down a blackboard sound occasionally, but it's nothing horrific enough that you don't want to use them.

Noted. I’ll probably go with the dragons then, but if I eventually wanted a harder wheel around 97 to 99, then it’s either between Bones or Spitfire?
How important is diameter? Bit on the larger side, so is 54 a good compromise, or should I go with 52 or 56?

You could even do flip tricks and have very comfy ride with 78A 54MM mini slime balls. Just have to forget about sliding, and get used to them being a tad bouncy for flip tricks - but not enough to ruin flip tricks. Forget about flip tricks with 60MM OJ super juice / slime balls 60MM or powell 60MM - they're all too big, too heavy and too bouncy.

For harder wheels, 97 to 99A bones and spitfires are very decent. 99 or 101A rictas are good too.
Re: size of the Dragons, just personal preference. I went with 58MM, because the formula makes them slow, so didn't want them in smaller size. But even at 58, they do not feel big or heavy, as they're not very wide (33MM).

Yeah I use 9MM risers and have a few set ups of 8.5 / 9.3 / 9.6 deck widths depending on whether I'm in skate park, miniramp, or street, or what I fancy doing that day. I'm an older skater who grew up with wide shaped decks and always used risers, so just carried on doing so (even on the 8.5 popsicle - which I know makes me some kind of heretic lol).
And yeah you need longer hardware bolts.

depends on the skater. I skated my last bones down to 47mm and could've kept skating them. When I was a broke teenager I would skate wheels down to the core. Wheels can last you years if you want them to. It's all highly variable on what kind of skating you do and how often you skate. As well as how picky you are about your gear. I probably replace trucks more often than wheels.

I'd recommend the 58MM or 56MM Dragons so they're not too slow. That also gives you some headroom to wear down to a size that's still ok. Mine are the 58x33MM which slide better than the 56x36MM due to less surface area contact.

First skate in weeks and for the first 15 minutes there was two little neroid twins running around being a nuisance while their mother stood to the side. Rolled around a bit but they followed my and kept trying to get my attention. I wanted nothing to do with them, almost left the park but just sat down for 15 minutes ignoring them as they tried to get my attention. Finally they left. My country didn't used to have these people.

I don't trust that. Ricky already said he thought McNugget was a friend but "friends don't do that to other friends" so something definitely happened.
There's only him and Fetty who never got send off videos so something must have went down.
>>177297
Nah nothing like that it was just more about how they would bully Carlos into doing risky shit and then taking no responsibility/help him when he got injured. But I never got the impression Carlos needed that much encouragement to do risky stuff because he always seemed to really like doing them anyway.
I think some others have shit on Braille after leaving, but none of them ever mention the Scientology angle. It's mainly about being pushed to do things they aren't comfortable with or something relating to money.

yeah I remember watching that thinking Carlos definitely sent it the hardest out of all the other members. I can't watch Braille anymore, everyone in those videos is annoying and ADHD. After Fetty was gone, things slowly went downhill. Also that scientology shit is weird, same with berrics

The only fact is that Chris racked up $11k in debt in Ricky's name (supposedly), but he's apparently still sponsored by Braille, so who really knows what's going on with all that
The only thing I heard about Fetty was that after he broke his jaw, supposedly they said they'd help pay for it but didn't, but that's a rumor as far as I'm aware
>>177338
I feel like a lot of this would be solved if they just cut the amount of content on their channel in half, there really isn't a legitimate purpose to releasing a video every single day, especially when those videos are only getting 20k views each

Definitely. He always seemed like he wanted to go one better and take risks to do that. He never looked like he needed much encouragement. It has went downhill since Fetty left though. The only one around who I think is alright is Glo. Gabe is too over the top, Nigel is hardly around, and Uzi looks like he'd rather be anywhere else.
The Scientology shit is def weird too and I always forget about the Berrics. There's some videos from years ago with Aaron talking about being a Scientologists and I'm not sure if it's just how they've been filmed but they're creepy as fuck.
>>177339
Yeah you'll never really know the truth with the McNugg and Ricky thing. Seems to be a lot of conflicting stuff from different people about it.
What I know about what happened with Fetty is
>Broke his jaw
>Braille said they'd pay for it
>They paid part of it and then stopped
>Fetty is tanked up on some strong painkillers
>Meets some girl at the skatepark
>Tells him she's 19
>In reality she's 14
>Her mom knows about this and says nothing
>They want money off him(?)
>Doesn't pay them
>They tell police he's been fucking her
>It's all bullshit
>Charges get dropped
>Braille completely cut ties with him anyway
>She doesn't look 14 tbf
I don't think he's been around in ages, but it was always sad seeing him make videos in shitty parks with no one else around.
I think they release as many videos as they do for the algorithm. But they record hours of footage in one day so they can release it in parts throughout the week/month. It's why you see people all wearing one kind of clothes and then the next week a video will have them wearing the same clothes again because they were filmed on that same day. Same as when someone like Andy Anderson is in a video and then a different video a few weeks later.
I agree with what you're saying though. So much of it is just shit to pump something out.

I'm not American. But what kind of future can you have living month to month dependent on daddy government? What type of weak society do you think that system is creating?

what kinda life can you live living paycheck to paycheck dependent on some retarded wagie job? 1500 a month is like 13 an hour. If you can get that without doing anything then you have time to do any kind of side gig you want. Also anon didn't mention food stamps but that's 280 for a single person.

My point was if I am Skitzo then that guy has no excuse.
Wagies are made fun of because they have no desire to do any better. They are the bottom rung and it's their own fault. If you talk to them they blame everyone else for their situation. Why do you assume that is you? There are plenty of career directions, ways to make money, to build a life for yourself that isn't being a bum. There are endless resources on 4chan alone to achieve just about anything in this world, but they are so demoralised that they've just given up. It's sad. Worse to see skaters fall for that trap when they have something so great right Infront of them.
Unless that guy is genuinely seeing shit and hearing voices then he gets a pass, but I doubt it.

we need to return to tradition with these generals, so I've taken the liberty of creating a new thread with a proper op and discussion starter of SOTY predictions. let's leave the youtube vlogger bullshit here and try to actively steer the discussion toward better topics this time instead of whining that everyone is talking about dumb stuff. ignore kooks and trolls if you see someone trying to bait, change the subject unless you want the general to turn into name calling and shit flinging again

Well, I went ahead and bought this fucking thing. I don't even need a new board yet, I'm just having a board size crisis where I can't decide if I like 8 or 8.25 better. Started learning on 8, then suddenly switched to 8.25 cause I thought more foot room would be better, but now I'm not so sure.

Going up or down in size even the slightest bit always feels weird as hell. I ride 8.3s and have been for 10 years, it's not the most widely available size which gets annoying and can be a problem but 8.25 feels too small and 8.5 feels huge even though the difference is less than a quarter inch. 8.75 already feels like a boat and riding a 9 feels like a yacht and is so big its almost like cheating.

What are you a freestyler? Why limit yourself to 8 or 8.25 when you could get 7.75. In all seriousness - buy an adult board 8.5.

8.5 is literally babbys first skateboard tier. Need the board to be bigger so the baker logo is bigger and everyone can see it.

Flip tricks are too easy on narrow boards. I don't even like 8.5. I have one but prefer 9.2 or 9.6. Each to their own I guess.

No, I charge for my services. I don't like the idea of getting a bigger board when 8.25 feels too much at the moment. I think something inbetween 8 and 8.25 would suit me best but not sure that's very common (or even a thing at all?).

You can find a couple 8.125 decks out there. They're rare but they're out there.

Pic related is half a dozen 8.13 boards from my main local shop. There's a few other 8.13 local pro decjd too I didn't include. My other two skate shops have a reasonable selection too, roughly about 20 to choose from on total. Don't see it being much of a problem buying this width, unless you're a turbo graphics autist, and who cares anyway, you don't use rails, just board slide graphic into none existence if it's that bothersome.

Actually I was wrong. They're not rare at all where I live, just sorted decks by size in my second shop, and they have 82 decks that are 8.125. And they're decent brands: Chocolate, Evisen, Passport, Toy Machine, Welcome etc.

I don't see how making 8.4's helps them stay relevant. there isn't even a truck that fits an 8.4, you'll either be hot rodding or magic carpeting. I don't get how a company can be so stupid, no wonder those 8.4's are always in stock...

Idk it's just different I guess. They don't make 8.38 or 8.125 trucks either. It's nice being able to choose between 2 truck sizes. Obviously with an 8.4 you'll probably go with a 8.5 trucks, wouldn't be a big deal.

How does it affect the board having it be either slightly bigger/smaller? I have both 147 and 148 thunders for the 8.1 board so I could go either way, but not sure if it matters that much either.

In my experience riding 8.3s it doesn't really matter that much. Only thing is if you go bigger you have a higher chance of your axel's threads getting fucked up. I still go bigger because 8.5 is my next choice and what most of my homies ride so if they got an extra deck or a barely used one to give me my trucks will work. Or in the event there's a good sale but no 8.3s I can get a 8.5. if you have both sets lying around just try both and see what works.
