Elissa is great, fuck off. She's a died in the wool skate rat who's still at it despite nearing 50 years old. In a world of female skaters who are half-model who eventually phone in the skating so they can still look good, Elissa is still taking slams and actually working for her tricks with the best of them. Yeah, she's not the most elegant or skilled, but that doesn't stop her. If you don't respect that, you'll eventually give up on skating and get fat and old before you're 40.

Being unwell over December, the medication I’ve been on (steroids, anti-biotics) hasn’t helped me weight-wise.
Having had the pneumonia, this has now led me to stop smoking for good (though I’m still on the crackpipe vape). Where I used to be stick thin, I’ve just been eating and eating and doing fuck all and now I’ve put on a stone and a half.
I’ll try shift it but I’m worried now about even being able to Ollie like I used to. I’ve never been this heavy before

Tbf I think I’ve also replaced one bad habit for another.
I used to smoke and didn’t eat so much. And now I’ve stopped, I notice I eat more than I did. Worst bout of pneumonia I’ve suffered as well as having asthma (and being a smoker). The steroids seem to have increased my appetite too.
I’ve never felt this zapped. The last time I skated was November. Haven’t even broken my new wheels in.

Is that why it's on the way out? I thought it was just people getting sick of it. It also seems like people are getting sick of the Berrics too.
Are we in another dip in skate popularity? Something about 2023 seemed a bit dull. 2 of my local shops (here in London and back in Dublin) are closing down due to lack of sales, and I think I've been seeing less new starters at the parks.

Skateboarding saw a massive boom in 2020 because of Covid and people being stuck with nothing else to do, skate companies overproduced on product and now have warehouses full of shit that they can't sell and are literally going bankrupt, some of the biggest brands in the game have been bought up and are also going out of business (Darkstar, Zero, Enjoi, etc.), Youtube channels for skateboarding are hitting all time lowest viewer counts, Berrics and Revive moving out of where they've been for however many years, etc. etc. I've personally had all of my local skate shops save for one close down within the past year or two, even the newer ones. I imagine the only reason why the one didn't close is because it's literally a block down from our biggest skate park in the area.
But yeah, Braille is dying, bleeding viewership, subscribers, employees, etc., which honestly good riddance with all the scientology shit surrounding it. People trying to call it a religion when it's just a genuine cult that has never benefited anyone but those at the top. I've actually heard that a lot more skateboard companies than just Braille are filled with scientologists, which is pretty freaky honestly. But don't expect skateboarding to get any bigger anytime soon, I doubt the Olympics will help, if it doesn't end up getting cut out entirely.

>I've actually heard that a lot more skateboard companies than just Braille are filled with scientologists
Scientology membership, ironically next to skateboarding, has been haemorrhaging since Covid. A lot of members were forced to keep a literal distance during lockdown, which led the cult programming to slip and for a lot of them to start listening to critics and ex-members.
But yeah, the only other skating Scientologist that I know of is Berra (and ofc Jason Lee, but he left it years ago thank god).
It's pretty fucking sad to see my two locals go. The one in Dublin has been around since the early 80s. But then, both it and my London one didn't do a hell of a lot of promotion this last year. The year before there was at least one demo or event. I can't remember anything happening last summer.
I generally don't mind skating having quiet eras, but the fact skate shops and skater owned companies seem to be struggling while the big sports brands are still doing well is concerning. The general shape of the industry might truly be changing into something ugly if this continues. Normally I'd expect those big sports brands to drop it first while the smaller ones hang in there.

Look at it this way, skateboarding mainstream hype will die, only the dedicated will continue and everything can go back to being a hostile, gatekept sekkrit club for misfits and losers just like the good old days. There's nothing to be worried about. Also I started skating in 2020.

The Nike and Adidas oligopoly has been taking over skateboarding for a decade. Consolidated was running the "don't do it" campaign. The thing that further worsened things since 2008 was that the distribution and supply chains were interrupted because of the lockdowns (not "during", because) and you can read interviews with shop owners and distributors in jenkem, where they're saying they can't keep up with demands since they can't have people working in the factories and warehouses with the same routines due to the measures -which was kinda iffy as an excuse- and shops suffering as a result. I swear people are forming shorter memory spans.

No, I remember exactly what happened due to lockdowns and that specific Jenkem article, but we've been out of lockdown for years now and in the case of my two locals, they got rid of all that surplus stock. Their supply chain is fine now. They're not screwed due to overspending, they're screwed due to lack of customers/changing spending habits.
And it's hard to definitely say what it is, but this last year seemed "flatter" to me. There weren't as many demos, people weren't as hyped about BATB, all the big Youtubers started losing viewers, SOTY wasn't as exciting, imo not as many killer videos came out, no new video games were released, and mainstream events like the Olympics were absent (not that I think that had a HUGE impact on skating itself in the end). You could just say "recession" and leave it at that, but I don't think that's the totality of it.

the thing about the big corporate skateboard brands is that they are the ones who are allowing the smaller indy skate brands such as limosine have such a stacked roster. no way a company like that would be able to pay their guys enough to survive if it wasn't for them getting big nike/vans checks.

The issue I think is these smaller brands are small because they have no real avenue to grow. Non skater money that used to flow into skate companies is now flowing into Nike and Adidas. Osiris, DC, Globe, Volcom etc. became big through that audience.

I didn't claim that. And overspending on whose side? The companies or the customers? Because by definition if people aren't buying as much of your shot, you have overproduced.
I think the explanation is that other shit like energy and consequently everytjing based on it got more expensive and people are worried about what the state is going to do next. People's illusions and visions were shattered and it was especially hard for those who thought "we're not before WW2, the state is our friend now, yayyy democracy, yayyyy capitalism is yielding to be more humane/capitalism has won". So, not enough income, and more worry to leave people discombobulated and not wanting to skate.

>And overspending on whose side?
The shops. They initially overspent by buying too much stock because they both thought the lockdown upswing would keep going and because there was an over-demand when the supply chains were frozen, but the people looking for gear at the time didn't come back later.
But the only upside of that is that it's not a total loss so long as you sell that stock eventually. Which my two locals did. Problem is that after all that business got even slower.
I think what bugs me about people being cautious about buying a board (for themselves or their kids) is that they seem to think it's an expansive hobby when in reality it costs way less than something like being in a football club. It's a bit of an investment up front (say £150 for a good complete setup, £40-75 for shoes, maybe another £70-90 for helmet and pads), but they don't realise that all of that will last most of the year. Or that there are always bargains or second hand equipment to be found. I know that I personally wind up spending much less than I used to because I'll happily spend my entire day at the park instead of the pub or a cafe or whatever. The only time skating is a constant spend is in the winter when I have to pay to go to indoor parks, but even then it's not that bad.
>>182259
Yeah bro, I hate it when the black death rolls through my park and everyone gets buboes on their armpits and neck. It's almost as bad as when Ottoman Siaphi hitch their horses to the flatbar, or not enough dinosaurs become refined oil and there's a shortage of urethane wheels.
Dumbass, what I was saying is that the supply chain issue caused by lockdown is not why my local shops are suffering.

I got 5 pairs of etnies/emericas last year for about $100. Then I spend 10 - 15 dollars on better insoles for every 1 1/2 shoes I go thru. I cycle thru shoes too so Im not just shredding through one pair..The slap sale thread is your pal its a great resource to check regularly especially around holidays as people will post sales from their locals that ship or from lesser known online retailers or even Big Box stores like marshalls. https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.
also pic related is your best friend if you need to save money.

Just buy Nike on sale in the shitty colors if you're actually broke. They last twice as long as any other shoe so in the long run you pay less.

I'm a sucker for padded hightops so I pretty much only get DCs. They're not cheap (last pair were £75) but I have a loyalty deal so every few pairs I get a good chunk off the price. Plus they last between 3 and 5 months depending on what my focus with tricks is. The last pair would have lived longer if I'd not been a dumbass and ignored my bolts not being 100% countersunk.

8 bucks for 3.7 oz vs 6 bucks for a pack of glue sticks that will last you for several years unless you use it for something else. The result is exactly the same. Glue gun costs peanuts as well so you don’t need to touch the stuff with your hands.
The only downside is that it’s not as convinient to use outside.

lol, that's some crack head energy. I always just wait until I'm home to use it with a gun. Shoe goo definitely better for out in the field. Hot glue is an after session ritual for me.
Speaking of I just started skating some eS accel slims and them shits are getting torn so quickly. I usually don't use any glue until after a few sessions when the toe cap really starts to wear down, but these eS had me gluing after one session.

I've decided to become a neet again at 30 and I'm actually at my fittest and it shows in my skating, I'm more confident at higher speeds and my board control feels tighter. Doing a lot of stretching, balancing, calisthenics stuff, and cycling for cardio.
Current week's actual mindfuck: "letting go" of your board makes it stick to your feet, like to go over a hip for example, the more you just "go with it" instead of trying to figure it out precisely, the better your stance ends up. I accidentally unlocked alley oop nollie backside 180s (on a smooth smallish quarter) with this.
I'm starting to feel like listening to music and being a little prancy and dancy helps as much with control as it does with style

I couldn’t as I’m cooking some food soon but I feel bad for saying no as the lad zoomie couldn’t even kick flip (he could ollie though) and his zoomie gf wanted to put it on her tiktok. Kind of feel bad for not showing him (and impressing his gf) but I refuse to associate or use tiktok

Leave tiktok for the kids. All social media is cancer but tiktok is the most addicting/brain rotting one. I really judge people who use tiktok over the age of 25. Ive had several tinder dates/hookups tell me they use tiktok or send me one and in my head its like their IQ just dropped 25 points. I dont mind a dumb bitch but not the phone addicted looking at stupid videos all day type of dumb bitch. I only follow like 20 accounts on IG and have nothing posted. If you have nothing to promote/your not making content the only reason to have social media is to talk to someone whos number you lost/dont have or for finding events/shit to do or to reassure hoes you're a real person.
People shouldnt be posting low quality clips online for likes/engagement anyway. Nobody cares to see your ollie or 6 inch off the ground wobbly ass 50-50. I hate clip culture, I hate social media.

I would rather not

that might be true for some people not my homies. they'd still be skating every day. idk whats going thru their brains of why they gotta post/stack a clip everyday. i feel like the one is just hanging onto his youth and another posts to show/prove to people he's still skating. I hate filming and will make any excuse to get out of it unless I know theyre gonna land it in 5 tries, they'll offer to film me do something and im just like nope, im good. my friend put me through hell trying to film me do this stupid little slappy line, then wanted me to do the same for him and I havent skated with him since then. 2 hours of a 3 hour session trying the same shit to get clips neither of us were really satisfied with at the end, wow so much fun.
have you guys ever had someone show you a bunch of mediocre clips of themselves? idk how to even respond ever. I went on a tinder date with this girl who had been skating for like 6 months and she showed me like 10 clips of her doing basic stuff like riding off a curb and doing baby ollies and I couldnt even fake it for the pussy. then she asked to see my clips and when I told her I didnt have any she acted like I didnt even skate.

I've been filming myself more often, but nothing I've filmed has made me want to post it anywhere. Its helped me visualize what I look like on a board, and clean up my form. Most of my old friends think I quit skating years ago. When I mention that I skate to other people in my life they often don't realize how committed I am to it.
>have you guys ever had someone show you a bunch of mediocre clips of themselves?
I had a kid at a street spot tell me his IG handle and start cataloging every trick he had done at that spot. I looked at his IG later and it was full of "ironic" editing and music with sloppily landed tricks.

I liked my Instagram when it was solely my friends and skaters I knew posting their progress. It's also nice to look back on and see how much shitter you used to be when you feel shit about your current status.
But over time it devolves into an ad mill, desperate to profile you and show you shit you didn't ask for. Really makes me want to delete it but then it's holding the stuff that I actually care about as a hostage. I am actually going insane at just how bad advertising is getting now.

I cut mine evenly and boil in salted water. I add a touch of milk, egg yolks, some garlic I’ve boiled with the potatoes, and a touch of white pepper (not lots, just a touch) when I mash.
If I decide I want to be fancy and avoid lumps, I use a ricer but most of the time I just use a regular masher and I get no complaints. I like a thick mash which is why I use the egg yolks to bind it but I like some flavour to avoid it being bland which is why I like the garlic and white pepper in it (you need two cloves and at least a teaspoon). It’s effort but worth it

Waste of time that could be better spent on other things like smokes, or if you’re actually being sensible, investing in gold.
Buying something that doesn’t exist and that you can only use in limited transactions sounds impractical when you could just buy some gold and know that it’s there to sell or to pass on.

Peel and boil potatoes until they are easy to break apart with a fork in the pot.
Mash them until they don't have any hard lumps. You can just use the back of a fork to mash them if you don't have anything else.
Add a big chunk of butter and mix it in then add a splash of milk but start with just a tiny amount because too much milk can make it watery.
Add some salt to taste.
That's my basic method for mashed potatoes, bit simpler than the other fellas method but it works for me. I don't usually go too fancy with my mashed potatoes, usually just the butter and salt is enough to bring the flavor out.

i think you could become a pretty decent park kid pretty quickly, especially if you have an accessible jib park or even a diy yard setup. freeride probably takes a little longer to get truly competent but i have seen people get gud in just a few years and definitely faster than in skating

I mean even that requires property and living in place with reliable snow fall or snow machines I guess.
Not saying it's rich people only thing but it's like surfing where you have to be prepared to factor life plan around hobby somewhat or be lucky with location to do it consistently.
Skating can be done basically anywhere in world.

How hard should it be to learn to do kick turns, tic tacs, small manuals?
I feel like my balance lengthwise must be bottom tier, raising the front wheel without having it drop right back down or immediatly shoving tail into ground feels impossible rn.
Besides just grinding small kick turns for hours any tips to get better at this?
Anonymous at Tue, 16 Jan 2024 02:02:20 UTC No. 182925

Nope, you just gotta do them. My only tips are to make sure your legs aren't rail straight/squat a little bit, lead with your upper body, and raise your wheels by lifting your front leg while your core stays centered/do not lean back. Just start small with 20-40 degree turns and work up to 90s and 180s. Then see if you can do a full 360. Make sure you do frontside and backside turns, THEN try the same from the nose. Definitely don't neglect these.

Very nice. Men who can cook are ahead in life.
>>182861
I do them like this:
-peel and dice the potatoes, give them a quick wash
-boil them in water for a few minutes until you can actually mash them
-drain the water then add milk and butter. I usually err on adding too much milk so I can reduce it to a consistency I like.
-Optional: add herbs. Tarragon is a good choice, as is rosemary, but whatever you like is fine. Salt and black pepper to serve.
My mam would fuck up mash all the time. I never knew how bad of a cook she was until I had them at a friend's house and saw how delicious they could be. I've come to realise since moving out thay she was terrible at EVERYTHING.

thanks anon, I'll keep working on them. was just doing them over and over in parking lot today lol, I either push tail into ground and fall off back or my back foot loses balance width wise and back truck starts flexing and i get unstable ;_;
How far back on tail should my foot be? It feels like there's two sort of feelings:
1. shoe edge is just covering last bolts and center mass is only bit onto the tail and I can put good amount of weight down without slamming tail
2. off the bolts more onto the tail and I have to be more careful of force or else tail drops and i fall off back

You should keep the ball of your foot pretty much centred on the tail (to start with at least, over time you'll be able to do it from loads of different positions). The reason you keep falling off back is because you're too top heavy, your legs are too straight and you're leaning your upper body backwards. You need to engage your thigh muscles more like you're doing a (small) squat. It gets tiring but you'll build up strength and learn to relax into it over time.
I drew a picture, hope it makes sense. You can either keep your back straight or hunch over and little bit, so long as your body's centre of gravity/pelvis is closer to the ground, you'll feel more stable and have and easier time moving your legs around to keep balance.
It honestly just takes time. You'll learn to relax on your board the more you skate and your movements will become less stiff.
>>182949
>what was the tip
One big one was with dropping in (on vert but works on any decently big ramp) in that you should be throwing your hips/butt straight down into the ramp rather than leaning over all top heavy. I learned to drop in from super small QPs where you can't really do anything but lean over, and a couple times this lead to me going over the nose and onto the flat face first.
That and typical "bend your knees"/keep your centre of gravity low. And how to time pumps better. I was throwing my weight up way too early and it was making me too top heavy to do lip tricks cleanly.

Like other anon said with hips and bending knees.. Manuals I did the exact thing he said not to and explained how to correct it, now I can pop out of my manuals. Transition just lowing my centre of gravity and pumping properly helped a lot. Also his E-Book has all these warm ups that I do one of each session now, the goal to get more comfy on the board. Just one of those, doing bs powerslide 180s I'm 100% sure got me really comfy whipping around bs 180s then eventually able to pivot them to 360s. I've just ended up more confident and comfy on my board in the short time I've been following. In my mid 30s to have this spurt of progress is quite cool. Almost every vid he seems to have a tip that makes complete sense and works well when implemented.

In summer: probably 12+ hours overall. In winter it's more like 9. But how that time is spaced out is what matters. I can skate from the morning until sunset if it's part of a big session with breaks in between, but if I'm alone or there's only one other person it's about 2 and a half hours solid before my legs entirely give out.
Honestly impressed myself with 3 two and a half to three hour solo sessions back to back last weekend into Monday. Will probably do another 2 and a half tonight. Turns out keeping out the workout routine and the supplements has made much more of a difference that I expected because my muscles are actually fine, but I was completely exhausted on Tuesday and slept a good 11 hours.

Why do so many people who can't even stand on a skateboard like to larp as a skater? I thought it was just a thing in school, but once you know what to look for, you see them everywhere. And I don't just mean the dorks wearing brand clothes made by skater brands that went on to sell more general fashion clothes. Full on adults will act like they just watched some 90's skateboarding movie and wear the skater look like a costume. Its like the ultimate form of mall grabbing. The super saiyan of posers. Like, they know all the lingo, and will use slang way too heavily, like the skinny white kids who try to be cool by quoting whatever the popular rapper is at the moment.

Can you guys balance well on one leg on board with foot perpendicular to board?
With foot aimed more parallel I can easily ride on on either leg just from time spent pushing but if I put foot perpendicular then my balance goes to shit. Is that normal or a weak spot.

You are one of the weirder beginners, man. Just ride around and stop worrying so much. Don't do dumb things, just ride around like you see everyone else doing and try to get comfotable on your board slowly, but surely, just like everyone else had to do. There's no hacks or shortcuts, but having weird thoughts about balancing on one foot is unproductive and distracting.

Yes. You develop hip and ankle muscles over time that help. You do it by just pushing a lot. Eventually you can do pistol squats with little effort. It's not something people think about because it's probably the most basic motion in skating, but everyone sucks at it at first.

this
I hadn't skateboarded since I was like 12 and just got back into it at 32. I learned a kick flip in a week, but its been a month I'm still working on consistency, landing straight and getting more pop.
Set up a new board today, went from 7.6 k12 board to a 7.75 k20 and its fucking perfect. I set up a 8" board with independent trucks, but I don't like the trucks and its too heavy, but maybe when it stops snowing I'll try some pool carving with it.
>>183289
Just put jessup on my new board. One has mob, which is ok, but it seems to come off easy, the other has black magic which is maybe too grippy for my taste. I want to try the rubber grip tape for practicing new tricks because I'm mostly only practicing kick flips and its tearing through my shoe fast as fuck.

Then I will have my board for actually going to a park.

This cold ass weather is causing my wood to stay so rigid that it can't absorb impact properly. Getting stress cracks on the first session. During the summer I didn't break a single board.

Whats yalls opinion on public parks shifting from the hollow metal ramps over to this "Olympic" style layouts? Seems to me that since the tokyo olympics, a lot of public skate parks have been changed over from a couple basic quarter pipes, with maybe a rail and stair section, to now theres ledges and ramps and ledges and hubbas and bowls and quarter and half pipes all built in a sort of blended together kind of look. I'm not sure I'm a fan of it.

I don't mind Olympic parks too much but as >>183672 said, 2000s parks with funboxes and a miniramp are the best. Hollow metal ramp parks are the fucking pits. They're always in dogshit condition, built with weird dimensions, sit on top of awful surfaces and never have any flow.
Actually, if a park has good flow, I generally don't care what style it technically falls under. I don't want to waste my energy just pushing around or be stuck to hitting one obstacle during a run.

same especially late at night while watching videos i think of all the shit i could do, im not even sure where the confidence comes from but i swear in that moment i can 100% skate way better if i put my mind to it. then the next day I step on my board and feel like i just started skating yesterday. what i realized is that i dont know how to warm up and im a little princess that needs everything to be perfect. conditions and vibes can not be off at all. only once im dialed in completely can i achieve maybe half of what i thought i could last nice kek also fuck winter, this is all way less of a problem in the summer. my bushing constantly freezing has been single handily fucking up every single session this winter for me so far i dont even want to skate when i have to deal with trucks that wont turn right and a board that feels even a little weird

Still learning kick flips and trying heel flips. Took a break for 2 days now I can't land a kick flip. Granted I just tried to warm up and got frustrated and decided to give it a break for now. I think unless I'm really sore, I'm going to have to keep on it every day for at least 10-15 minutes.

I ended up landing some and getting close to heel flips so back where I was pretty much. I've now ripped through 2 pairs of shoes in like 45 days so this is why I want rubber grip tape specifically for learning flip tricks. I added a courteous amount of shoe goo and I guess I'll practice nothing except riding switch with my other shoes til it dries tomorrow.

I keep fucking with my set up after I havn't skated in more than 15 years. I have old krux, old ventures and tried new indys. I like tight trucks and krux are the way to go for me. I was trying my ventures out for the past week until I accidentally dolphin flipped the protruding king pin out into my ankle. I have new bones hard core bushings in all of them and only the krux keeps the king pin low even on stock bushings plus theyre the lightest. Granted theyre 15 years old at least and I'm sure theres been changes over the years.

It'd help if I knew what your specific issue was but generally I'd say to learn these things first:
>whatever size ramp you're trying to learn them on, make sure you also skate bigger ramps so you can get used to going even higher
>try backside slashers on your main ramp (it's just a kickturn where you scratch the back truck off the coping, feels sick)
>learn rollouts; if you can rock fakie, just keep all of your weight on the front truck and deck out the board, then you just need to lift the weight of the back and it should naturally roll over. If this is too hard, work on skating front foot heavy, maybe doing nose pivots on flat
>if you're like me and have a habit of keeping your weight in the transition, just doing quick little "stalls" where you touch both trucks off the coping is fine for a while. Just make sure you ALWAYS connect the back truck first. If that's a struggle, go back to slashers for a while.
>work on the timing of your pumping. If you pump up hard at the very bottom of the transition, you might be too top heavy by the time you reach the coping, making it harder to balance on top for a proper stall/rolling out over the deck will feel janky and scary. Better to pump hard down the opposite wall, then only pump where you're half way up the next wall rather than at the start of the transition
I'm pretty shit at holding on to them, but I've found working on pumping and making sure I'm not rushing the turn into the stall works wonders.
