There is dried mud or something. Are the wheels kill? Can I wash them with water in the sink?
What do?

soak them in water over night, air dry them, then when theyre dry spray wd40 on the inside of the wheels.

I took them out and they seem sealed. Like there is the bearing that comes off, and another metal tube part after the bearing then the outer cover.
Everything inside is lubbed and I can't seem to find a way to open the bearing itself to see the balls.
When I hold and turn the bearings that grind they do these internal micro stutters, like they grind on something, even though they seem sealed from the environment. Shitty factory bearings maybe?

Fellow UK anon here. Hopefully it's just dirt. I clean mine every now and then if I'm skating outside this time of year.
>buy white spirits
>buy either Bones Speed Cream at your local skateshop or sewing machine oil at a hardware store. It needs to be a thin, light oil. WD40 isn't great for this as it can get sticky after a while.
>pop the bearings out by levering them off your trucks
>use a needle or blade to flick the shields off
>get some kitchen roll handy. You can give them a quick wipe now if they're really dirty.
>fill some sort of container with the white spirits. An old lunchbox will do. I have one of those Bones "cleaning kit" bottle things.
>put the bearings inside, exposed part up, and shake the shit out of the container. The spirits will dissolve and remove the dirt. You'll be able to see how much comes off.
>take them out of the box, then place them on some kitchen roll. Pat them down to absorb most of the spirits, then let the rest evaporate
>put a drop or two of oil into them, give them a spin so it spreads and so you can see if they're good (if they don't spin freely at this point, they're probably rusted or damaged)
>put the shields back on and pop them into your wheels
I'd recommend getting a second set of backup bearings of the same type when you have the change. You're rarely going to destroy all of them at once so swapping out the one or two that are beyond cleaning will be necessary. I've used different Bones Redz, Sushi and Bronson bearings over the last 2 years and the Bronsons have won out by a good mile.

WD-40 is not recommended for lubricating ball bearings. While WD-40 can help to clean and remove rust, it's not a true lubricant and doesn't provide the necessary long-term lubrication that ball bearings require. For ball bearings, it's better to use a specific bearing grease or lubricant designed for such applications. These lubricants provide better viscosity, temperature resistance, and longevity, which are essential for the smooth operation of ball bearings. WD40 is really just for cleaning

These are the posts I come here for. It's such an irony, Hawk was both the face of skateboarding and the face everybody loved hating in skateboarding; in the 80s because he brought the tricks that rendered the surfer-skaters obsolete (industry-wise, remember we are always talking in Spectacle terms), in the 90s because he became mainstream and did commercials and then went full commercial... but now, you know you're not the only one looking up to him when it comes to him being in the first generation of 50 year-old vert skaters and, really, skaters. And he had the injuries to boot.

Skaters don't present their ass to an obstacle when they come at it fakie though. That's inline's #1 problem, the way it looks like you're setting up to twerk at a rail when you go at it fakie. Skiers have the same problem but it seems worse with them. If you can solve this problem, which you can as soon as no inliner goes fakie ever, all you have to deal with is the leftover essence of disgust stemming from vert rollerskaters using crab stance in the 80s and you guys will be cool too.

I think the fact ALL of the Bones Brigade still skate shows how you can do this shit for years to come. Part of it is the "selling out"/doing things for money so that you don't have to get a proper job or become a complete skate rat who falls into addiction and injuries, but I think another part is just pacing yourself. Tony in particular can sell out as much as he likes because he's raised and donated so much money into building parks. Then a whole lot of what he did wound up popularising skateboarding globally, and he wasn't above being goofy or lame in the process if it meant simply creating opportunities for little kids to see a skateboard in action. He's the ultimate winner at skating and deserves every minute of it.
Honestly, I look at Tony and how much he gave back when he could have justifiably taken his money and went home, then I look at all of the current crop of SLS moneybags and how little they seem to give a shit about getting people on boards and it makes me sad. None of them even seem to do cool shit with their money. I just picture them living in some big lonely LA mansion like they've beaten GTAV and swapped over to Franklin.

My dad works at bronson, one day he invited Milton Martinez to our house for dinner with my family. Milton came over and proceeded to talk to all of us in spanish like we could understand him, he seemed grumpy and kept repeating "smokes? smooooookes, smooookes?" to me over and over and I told him repeatedly that cigarettes are gross. I went to the bathroom and when I came out my dad asked where Milton went and I found him in my room rolling up joints with all my weed. I asked him what the fuck he was doing and he just laughed in that goblin ass way and lit one of the joints. He proceeded to chain smoke king size joints of my weed without offering me a hit. He let my dad hit a joint really hard and laughed his ass off when my dad started coughing so hard he threw up (he's a lightweight). He kept harrasing my mom while she was making dinner and tried to get her to smoke. We sat down to eat which was delicious (thanks mom) but we were all silent as Milton kept smoking, ashing on the floor and table, ranting in spanish and laughing to himself, my dad passed out and was drooling all over himself and Milton kept pointing and laughing at him. Finally he put his joint out in the mashed potatos and my mom started crying and ran upstairs. I had enough and challenged him to a game of skate through google translate. He accepted, cheated at roshambo and almost got me out until he missed a trick. I got him out all in one go on basic ass switch tricks (he pushes switch mongo) and he got pissed off and started yelling. My dad came outside demanding to know why Milton was angry and told me I was grounded and to go to my room. As he was pulling out of the driveway to take Milton home he yelled that he wished Milton would be a better son than me. Later that night he tried beating me with a Creature deck but it snapped after the first hit to my shoulder.

What's some basic shit you struggle(d) with for ages that most people seem to just get naturally?
I can't for the fucking life of me hold onto an axel stall for more than a second. Most people just roll out, maybe struggle to not put their weight too far out and take a step off onto the deck, and can basically just stand up there. But I just can't completely stop that circular motion and/or get my upper body out of the transition. I can lock in and it's definitely an axel stall, but it's out an straight back in. Same with 5-0 stalls.

When you are young you have the benefit of having taffy for tedons, joints, knees ETC. You can bounce back from injuries with little rest. Adults can be out for a week for a mild rolled ankle Adults are also naturally more risk averse, so they are less likely to challenge themselves and try things they aren't already comfortable doing. Which is essential for progression in skateboarding.

I have done and will do it regularly on anything I'm trying to stall on with no trouble. Usually it helps warm me up but I've yet to REALLY get a good stall. I really want to get them now because I've started doing those axel-to-tail drop in things and now I want to do that mid-run and/or go straight to BS tail stalls. I think I'm just rushing it or I've learned how to kickturn wrong or something.
>>179250
This is one trick I actually can do reliably, with variations. With no complies, they take a whole lot less energy than you think and your upper body needs to be hunched over in the direction your travelling. Kick them too hard and they'll just spaz out into some flip or spin you didn't want, and if you stand up straight you won't create the gap in your legs that you need to let the board pass through.
One thing you can try is to just do this kooky spin thing here: https://youtu.be/Hbm6HVg-W7k?t=123
That and not popping them at all, but just mashing them into a sort of tail stop. That's super fun on banks and can get you into a tailslide or drop in. Try little pops into curbs too once you get the hang.
Luv me no complies, simple as.
Front shuvs are a gamble for me though. Sometimes I can get em all day, most days I can only seem to get one foot on. I think the scoop is supposed to actually bring the tail around more toeside than you'd think so you don't have to jump backwards to catch it but idk.
Anonymous at Tue, 12 Dec 2023 15:53:11 UTC No. 179262

all the front shuv variations (hardflip, lazer, biggie, ff impossible etc...) all use the exact same pressure point in the tail, once you find that point they'll come right back underfoot every single time. in my mind it's sort of an anti-scoop but idk if that is more confusing to other people

On big transition, you can bail and just slide right in, butt or knees the transition cups you safely towards the bottom. Like a baseball glove. Or something

Check out Kneesovertoesguy on youtube. He trains NBA players for jumping and longevity. A lot of it can apply to skateboarding since we jump a lot. I do atg split squats to strengthen my knees, and tibialis raises for hops. I also just do regular squats on a balance board and other various things to keep my legs and ankles strong. Been thinking about adding a weighted jump rope as well.

your max box jump/ lunge is about where you can expect to max out a perfect ollie. most people would get more out of simply learning to ollie better before they would see any particular pop gains from liftan. where you will see gains right away will be your ability to hold impacts on landing and generally get rekt less often. imo skaters benefit more from calisthenics and gymnastic training than /fit/ 2pl8 autism.

I agree that cross training isn't going to help progression, but it is really great for longevity and stability. Its helped me have more stamina to skate longer and not get as sore. I'm also less prone to injury. Its been really helpful for keeping me on my board. I'm 29 though and have been skating since 13. If you are younger its probably not worth the hassle. Just skate more.

Lol you would only think this if you were a noob.
Been skating since i was 14. During years 24 - 26 I got heavily into lifting. I could power clean 2pl8. If there is any exercise that should directly transfer into skating ability it is the power clean, but it didn't. My skating just suffered because I was always tired from lifting. Quit lifting and I started progressing in skating again.
Assuming you have a normal amount of physical fitness, skating is just technique and genetic ability. Nothing will ever make you better at skating except just doing it more and committing to tricks more.
Cant believe i wasted my time typing all this shit out. But yeah whatever dude you go do your curls or whatever to get that higher ollie lol

I was stuck inside for a couple of days with the stomach flu, so I was barely able to eat and walk for the week. I wound up being able to go to the gym and get back into the groove of things, but I came back later in the night still feeling down. I sat down at my desk for a bit longer, staring at work that needed to be done, then I grabbed my board and set my MP3 player to rip ride die and skated all over the damn place at about 1230 at night. It was pretty fucking cold but there was no wind so I was ripping through the air, swerving through building columns and bombing small hills. The entire time I was coughing up and spewing out phlegm demons that were stuck everywhere inside me. When I was finally done I couldnt feel my hands, my shirt was sweaty, and I had my mojo back.
That's what skating is about to me for the past 15 years. Pushing like a fucking retard and feeling like you're flying. I almost slammed twice and I didn't even mind. The whole emphasis on tricks and getting high ollies and brand faggotry is all jock shit and distractions. At the end of the day it's just you, your piece of wood, and some urethane.
>>179385
I like going to the gym and doing strongman exercises, but that's just because I like doing those, not because I think they're going to help my skating much. The ones that are really good are usually pretty shrimpy with little muscle because all they really do is pop their bodyweight up. The weightlifting adds weight and muscle around your entire body, so having the extra cushion is nice.

On the topic of old skateboarders.
I skated from 7th grade til I turned 20 ... maybe 21 when a bruised heel took me out and other things took priority.
I got back into it before COVID. I've posted a lot of videos here.
>I had my 5th child this year.
>I turned 39 last week.
Throughout this time , I've only skated Saturday mornings and the occasional Sunday and holiday morning. Kids, Work, Errands ,etc leave me little time.I'm not close to where I once was , but Im satisfied with my progress.
Idk if people will see it, but this year I'm going to try to do a video part. Me and my big brother who got back into it when I did.
My oldest is 12 and he comes with me to skate but he mainly just talks to his cousin but he's trying. He's just not into it. My 5 yo shows interest but she's 5 and their interests change weekly.
So unless one of these kids is really into it. I'm thinking video part at 40 and I take up a hobby like golf or do something else that people my age do. Maybe I'll buy a treadmill.
Sorry for making a stupid vlog but you guys brought it up.

I normally only work out my core and upper body. Skating IS my leg exercise. But this time of year, when the weather shit for a long stretch, I might do some squats and such. I used to do full body workouts and 30 minute runs, but that just left me too worn out to skate for long so I stopped. Flexibility is important so that you can hopefully handle a bad bail better. That and just pacing yourself in your early days so you don't push underworked muscles too hard too fast.

I recommend Mitchie bruscos YouTube channel for the 100th time but this time I'll tell you to go download his free ebook. It has a 5 day skate plan (links to private yt videos). 5 things to practice each day. What I liked the most was the warm ups since I never really focus on them. I would roll around and warm up the legs but last few sessions I've focused on what he has talked about. It's definitely helped later in the session and lately I've felt much more in control of my board. I want to give credit to him, seems like a really good guy, gets small views tho.
This manual tutorial changed manuals for me: https://youtu.be/EoVh5VbgUcQ
Even his pumping tips made me do them much more exaggerated and the difference is huge: https://youtu.be/yQPSR8dyJWc

It's honestly astonishing to come back from that. I know most skaters manage to get over injuries that normies would wallow over for years and use it as an excuse to act like their life was over, but a break THAT big at 54 is insane.

Any tips on landing 180s smoother? Or just landing them at all. I can get a good Ollie and I can turn the board. But it’s at the moment of landing I can’t seem to keep my balance because I’m not used to going in the opposite way. I get this feeling as well when I do rock to fakie

that isn't true at all. why are you ignoring the fact that the poster rolled up like an autist and didn't say shit to anyone? and complains that they tried to cool guy him? do you guys have any sense of self awareness? you roll up to the spot where people are already at, don't say hello or anything to anyone, proceed be weird socially distance yourself from them, but try and act surprised when people might think you're some weirdo?
they probably thought you had autism, and it sounds like they were right

I'm the anon that rolled up, and I said "hey, hows it going" to them as soon as I got there. A couple of them responded and a couple gave me a heads up. I was just trying to mind my own business since they were filming the spot. Most of them didn't pay me any mind. I'm def kind of autistic though. I get what you're saying, and I don't entirely blame them.

i don't think anyone besides slaptrannies or jewfluencers have ever said that. granted anyone who talks about *the community* in any situation is highly suspect. ultimately the question is why do you expect people to be friendly to you? do you expect all the bros to give you a handie just because you showed up at the gym?
as a default you are another retard i have to skate around or wait for you to bail on your gay little noseslide 50 times while im trying to skate a spot, there's also a high chance you'll end up being a waxnigger as well. so yes i hate you and will continue to do so until you prove i can tolerate you

I'll keep waxing that ledge until I get to see you slip out on your gay little front tail stall and crack your skull. Then I'll do a boneless over your lifeless body while onlookers scream and call 911. When the paramedics arrive and pronounce you dead at the scene I'll shout "RIP BOZO" as I perfectly crooked grind the same ledge.

no, i'm a friendly guy at skateparks. i always make sure i give a few board taps when i see someone land something they've been trying for a while. today i gave some kid who ollied the step up a fist bump when he did it after like 20 tries. felt good man because i know that kid probably looks at me like a 'cool older guy' and it would have hyped him up to get some props from me (even though i'm just a mediocre dude who's been skating for 15 years)

rub bricked, waxed and broke in another new curb at my spot today. there's literally like 10 different curbs you can skate there. you can just skate around the carpark in a loop hitting different curbs and never stop. so far the only people to skate it are me and my friends though. haven't seen any other skaters there. i want to like tell other local skaters 'hey i made this epic spot on the other side of town' so other people can enjoy it but i also don't want it to get blown out. although i actually really like it when curbs get super worn in and kinda rounded.

I'll snap some pics next time I'm there. I've also been trying boardslides. I can slide them backside decently far but getting out of them has been sketchy. They are also one of the tricks I find myself popping into without meaning to. I was dicking around trying to crook as well but I can't make sense of how to do them properly. It was like 31 degrees today too so I was only there for an hour.

Maybe he'll touch up on how he was able to keep cashing checks from Baker while doing nothing so all of the future burnouts have a steady check and don't Cyril Jackson themselves.

I'm just talking about new additions to the team since either company has put out a "big" team video. All i can think of off the top of my head on the Deathwish side of things is Julian Davidson, who is very bland and forgettable, Brian OD and some black dude Davey Sayles who I haven't seen enough footage from to get an understanding of how they skate.
meanwhile Baker has Casper Brooker, Stu Kirst, Lyric (lol), Vince Palmer, that Sully kid (also kind of lol but his recent no-comply up a 10 stair was fucked up), Max Wasungu, and Zion Effs. pretty heavy line-up on the Baker side of things, but we'll see how the new Deathwish skaters stack up.

How the fuck are you going to call him a lazy bum when he has been visible for more than a decade? Isn't burnt out or on drugs. Supports the younger skaters and seems one of the more responsible people on Baker. etc.
It's cool you don't like Nuge for what ever faggot reason but fuck off with this bullshit.

>By the early 2000s, walking, much less skateboarding, had become increasingly difficult for Rodney Mullen due to the calcified scar tissue that was now wrapped around his femur and pelvis. ... doctors told him that the only way they could possibly repair his hip was with a very violent and uncertain surgery that involved winching the fused bones apart and breaking them, Mullen decided to heal himself ...
>Using knife handles, screwdrivers, and other hand tools, Rodney Mullen began the incredibly painful process of breaking up the fascia and scar tissue that was crippling him. He would contort himself around fire hydrants and shopping cart racks to create the leverage necessary to break his scar tissue apart, “I had to physically put enough pressure on myself to break my own bone. I did that for an enormous amount of hours.” This nightly regimen was so painful that twice, police officers heard his screams, and approached him to see if he needed help. “After about 1500 hours of that I’m getting to know what’s me and what’s not me in terms of the scar tissue,” said Mullen, “and you pull and you pull and you pull and it breaks like dried gum.” Slowly, the scar tissue began to break apart and he could feel his range of motion increasing.
>Late one night in 2010, while hanging from the wheel well of his truck and pulling on the frame, Rodney Mullen suddenly heard and felt an “echoing, palpable, visceral sense of a tree breaking inside of me. I’d broken a dozen bones or so, fingers, toes, ribs, collar bones, they’re like pencils, this is like a tree branch.” A wave of fear, adrenaline and nausea washed over him and afterwards he found himself lying on his garage floor, screaming, face covered in snot and tears, wondering, “What have I done? What have I done? What have I done?’” The scar tissue and some of the bone had finally broken apart and when Mullen stood up, he realized, “Oh my gosh! It’s no longer a stick shift, it was a ball and socket!

I've had ankle shit and shoulder shit like this. You can basically stretch your way out of it, but the process of finding the stretches that hit the spots you want can take a long time. I wouldn't worry too much about Mullen's tier of injury because you don't skate the insane amount he does.
Best to do your stretches and yoga now rather than later.

WD40 is a moisture displacer and penetrating oil, not a lubricant. The WD stands for 'water displacer'. It's good for getting gunk out of stuff, but you need to then lubricate them after they've been cleaned out. High quality small bearing oil is what you need, Bones even makes some (speed cream) if you don't know what to look for at the hardware store.

Anyone know what's up with trying to register account at slap? Tried all different machines and browsers and just get database error / try again later. Is there a support email to let them know?

No I don't know what's up with that because I'm not from reddit. Fuck off pussy.

I'm also 21, picked up skateboarding two months ago and now I can do some really high ollies and can move around freely in a skatepark without feeling like an ass
It's all practice

I'm not from reddit either - literally never had an account in my life, which is more than be said dir you you fucking bender. Sure there's some faggots at slap, but at least it's not dead as a door nail there like esg is.

Last few months I started throwing nollies and switch ollies a lot more. They look bad and often I don't get off the ground but I am making progress.

Bought a used board from some dude, haven’t rode in years and I’ve always been bad
Time to continue to be bad hoping I may be able to figure out kickflips this time

Newbie here, I've just done my first ollie but I can't for the life of me ollie onto curbs, is it because I'm not fast enough or I'm not popping my board right

start by ollieing up parallel-ish to the curb (doing a 5050 basically) and then keep trying from progressively steeper approaches until you're going straight at the curb.
if you can do an ollie nosegrab on flat then you'll have more that enough pop to clear it at which point you just need a little speed

Then just ride

I learnt those scoopy bs 180s yesterday. Started just bs 180 power sliding and once I was comfy started to pop them. I'm basically popping at 45°, never really twisted like that before. Such a different technique to when I used to try ollie then turn.

Buy board, learn how to push, go fast and stop, try riding some ramps and learning how to pump, look up trick tutorials.

You already did it once, what the fuck else do you need to know? Go outside with your skateboard and have a session, it all starts there.

how the fuck do i suck it up and commit to doing a 5-0 fakie on a ramp with coping? i can do it on small ramps with noping but i'm scared i'll hang up on real ramps
>>181615
it's possibly because i kept making different accounts when they would ban me and those niggers are too computer illiterate to figure out how to ban just one person instead of not letting anybody make a new account.
i'm not kidding either lol every time i'd get banned i'd just open an incognito window and make a couple more

Why do people even bother making videos of the same tired tailslides in California sewers and bs 360 over famous stairs when there's Yuto out there? Like, why even put something out when there's a kid who only does straight up NBDs?
