does anyone skate at ungodly hours?
I got fucked up sleeping habits and usually wake up at like 3am so I'm thinking of using skating as pre-workout cardio at like 4-5am
I dunno if cops and wagies are gonna give me shit in parking lots though
I'd go to a park or something but I'm too self conscious to practice moving ollies in a park as a grown ass man

Does anyone have examples of GOOD skaters that didn't skate as a kid? I started at 17, rarely skated, and now at 27 I'm going all out and really progressing.

Every local I see that DESTROY parks or has an amateur skate part on youtube started skating at like 5 years old everyday consistently for 20 years.

Are there youtube parts of someone you know that started after their 20s?

I like how that kid in the pic only had to do an ollie and not even land it and he still fucked it up royally.

Also, now that you mention it, I don't think there are many people that started skating later in life and went anywhere. There's a few reasons, though:

-Little kids can usually slam all day and be fine bc they don't weigh anything, so they can get the fundamentals without much fear. It's also proven below the age of 25 people have poorer risk assessment so don't envision that hucking down a handrail might cripple them. I think a lot of what ends skateboarder careers isn't lack of ability, it's the inescapable ability to foresee what might happen if a trick goes wrong.

-Sponsors like people that can grow with the company and build a name, if you're already pushing 30 you're too old to build a name before you'll age out of being competitive. They also tend to market most heavily to middle/high schoolers and 20 somethings and you come off as too old if you're 30+. In fact, some of the most sponsored skateboarders (of their era) tend to look younger than they are likely for this reason: Malto, Sheckler, Jaws, P-Rod, etc.

-Older people tend to have less free time and don't have full summers off to just skate endlessly like kids do, so it can be tough to progress if you aren't already a full-time skateboarding professional. Add in a physical labor job and forget it.

-People that weren't some kind of athletic as kids rarely blossom into athletic types as adults, they usually just get fatter and less athletic. If they were athletic as kids, they likely played some other sport and will just keep playing that sport either professionally or in recreational leagues.

i forget his name but there was a guy in one of my old transworlds that started at like 21 and got on blueprint.
starting in late teens isn't that uncommon either. i've seen late starters get really good at snowboarding so i don't see why that couldn't happen with skating. you need to approach it differently though

Snowboarding is a much smaller world because of the cost barrier to entry. You can learn to skateboard in a parking lot or driveway, learning to snowboard starts at about $1000 just to go down a bunny hill the first time on rented equipment unless you already happen to live near a resort and get hand-me-down equipment so you only need a lift ticket. I'd bet that snowboarder also either learned to ski or skateboard first so there were transferable skills. The 90's were also a different time for both as street skating and snowboarding (in its modern form) were both fairly new.

Kareem Campbell started at 19 apparently. I know there's a few guys who were on King of the Road that started in their late teens. There's some people I follow who started anywhere from their 20s to 40s who might never be pro but you'd happily watch them in the park.

Stuff like that is pretty rare, yes, but it can happen to anyone. Just something you have to accept. This guy didn't go out of his way to rearrange his mouth, it was just an unfortunate accident and there's not a lot you can do about it. You can mitigate the risk by being good, but you have to get past the beginner stage to get there, which is also the time you are most likely to slam. All you can do is wear pads/helment and take things slowly.

You are most likely to get hurt if you hesitate in your execution of a trick. Look at how slow he's moving. he barely clears the set. He also doesn't look ready to catch the board and ride away. He like half heartedly kicks out with his arms flailing. his back foot launched his board into his mouth and crowbarred his teeth. That's the freak accident part. he should have gone slightly faster and just committed.

Richie has substance, Andy is shallow.

As for rules it depends which avenue but I feel there are lots, depends how fickle you want to get. Toe drags, touching on manuals, hand drag is ok sometimes but using your hand to stay on isn't etc.. all types of rules with filmers that become almost moralistic. Ambiguous ones like stealing angles or filming style. Skate parks in street parts. Fake spots. I am pretty sure if I filmed a trick regular, mirrored the footy, that isn't cool.. and so on.

That has to do with the definition of a trick. For example, you can flip your board with the backfoot, it will be a backfoot kickflip, not just a kickflip.

Baker, and especially the latter Deathwish was one of the worst things to happen to skateboarding. It made "dude weed" mainstream and had 10-year-olds smoking pot behind the skatepark instead of actually skating. I know so many good skaters who barely even skated much after Deathwish was a thing. It also made people think absolute ghetto retards like Dixon were cool. This guy would show up to demos completely drunk/puking and start fights with 15-year-olds. He got his ass whooped at my skatepark by a 16-year-old.

I havn't skated in like 15 years. At least there are 3+ skate parks near me to check out on a week day when the weather permits. I don't want to be around anyone when I go and die trying the first board slide after more than a decade. I quit because I didn't make skate friends and couldn't learn tricks, now the internet has all kinds of info.

Anonymous No. 185295

yeah drugs and dumb shit definitely existed in skateboarding before baker but the baker flavor of it seemed particularly in your face or something and i remember there was a big shift in the activities of my friend group when baker has a deathwish came out in 2008

but that was when we were all getting to the age of like 14-16 so maybe that shift would have happened anyway. who knows.

The Carhartt video was ass. I love Max Palmer but it was Artsy in a weird / unflattering way. Don't get me wrong, I like artsy skate videos but I don't like how they did it.

lmao fucking duhh dude, thats why this argument is so fucking dumb. and nobody who makes this argument against baker/deathwish ever brings up Flip which was the same shit so I gotta assume the people who believe this were either lame-o posers/kooks who didnt really skate anyway or kids since kids dont know Flip. wanna blame something for skaters not skating? Blame jackass. "yo guys wanna go skate? nah lets push each other around in shopping carts and into bushes!" middle/high schoolers making lil "skate" vids where the majority of it is hijinx.

~4 years ago now during peak covid I did up my first curb with a rub brick and lacquer, thing turned out beautifully for a first time job. Was basically the only thing you could sesh in my small hometown. Recently had to move back home to help take care of my gramama for a while and this is what it looks like. The lacquer is completely worn off and theres chips all down it. Fucking scooter kids, I know it was these 2 little brats Id run into from time to time at some of my spots. I waxed it the fuck up, waxed my tail, nose, trucks, fucking nothing, its unskakeable. its sticky and chunky. its a 5 minute skate from my house tho in a well paved "alley" in between a parking garage and parking lot, perfect location, theres a small bank up the curb you can trick into and manny, a bench nearby you can boardslide, 2 liqour stores and a smoke shop within 5 minutes. I need to fix this shit.

What would you guys do? Rub brick it again and re laquer, just give it a heavy coat of lacquer, or start a whole new curb next to it? Im no stranger to skating crusty shit so Im thinking just heavy lacquer job but I also know the joys of skating a perfectly smooth curb. The problem is theres way more people out and about now both lots are typically full and the town cop shop is less than a quarter mile away when the cops pull out and make a right they see clearly into the alley. And the cops in this town are huge bored dickheads they pulled up on me and stopped me to talk to me cause I jaywalked a few weeks ago. I think a heavy coat of lacquer is my best bet.

Crazy how much space skateboarding can take up in one's mind. I went on three long sessions this week and today I would have gone skating despite the bruises and painful joints if it weren't raining. A new street-oriented park opened near me and I keep thinking of new stuff that I could try. Lately I've been really into nollie and fakie stuff, much less concerned with landing stuff that looks good and digging more into the motions and sensations. Can't get enough of chinese nollies. Trying slappys for the first time, it's very new to me that you can just nudge yourself into a noseslide and get away with it. It's not the first time that after getting stuck for a while I just let go of expectations and progress. Hope you're finding ways to keep it fun out there /esg/

small town/suburban people are nosy asf. another spot I have around here is 2 ledges in a loading dock behind an abandoned grocery store. It has lights tho. If I skate there at night its not uncommon for someone driving by to stop for 30 seconds and stare at me. The older Ive gotten the less scared of confrontation I've gotten.

I feel like the park that is all random obstacles is probably the best bet not seeing anyone. The olympic style park has pools too, but I guarentee itll be kind of populated. Idk why it matters, but for day 1 of going back to a skate park after almost 20 years I just want to go in and think for myself. I used to have a mega skatepark when I was 12 and went there with some like 20' halfpipe that of course I tried because no one else was trying it and a street section that I cruised around and flung my board around pretending to try something... No one bothered to stop to teach me a damn thing so I'm adamant about relying on myself and the internet.

pulled up to my spot today to this, tried slappying around it but couldnt really do it without getting frustrated about the truck, luckily it left after an hour so i still got to skate the curb for an hour and was forced to practice some flatground.

thats crazy I used to go to the franklin mills mall a couple times a year as a kid and they had a skatepark in there that was owned by that Black Diamond company, apparently both have long since closed. my parents always said theyd bring me there to skate but never did I would just watch through the window until they pulled me away. you should definitely try skating bowls, its fucking fun and you sound like youre the right age to be a proper bowl boomer.

I just want to do some stairs, flat ground and rails, ledges. I stopped for almost 20 years and just learned kickflips in december.

I'll have to try a bowl tho. I don't want to get a wider board like what seems common now. I have a 7.75 and a 8" set up which I barely touch but it might be cool to try in a pool once I get a flow going in a regular park setting.

Anonymous No. 186181

>>186176
you have to pull your back leg up. I just started learning again and at first was catching only with the front, now when I'm not certain I'll get the rotation I always land with the back foot. I never fall unless I land primo when I commit so I'm just committing more and more as I keep practicing.

Anonymous No. 186182

>>186176
also your back foot lands first. As I'm practicing, I'll try a switch ollie or ollie to get ready to commit landing with both feet, then go for it. Assuming you know your flick is consistent. I'm still experimenting where to flick off the board and how to set up my front foot, but I try to not think too hard into it because intuition seems to work best.

if your back foot is not getting back on, you're not jumping UP and committing completely to the trick

if your front foot is not getting back on the board, you must readjust your flicking technique

niggas really out here building bad habits with tricks over the span of years. If you can flip the board all the way you can kickflip. You just have to put both feet on the board. You've trained yourself to pussy foot it. As soon as you break that habit you'll probably be able to do it almost every try.

NTA, but I keep struggling to get my back foot on for my kickflips too. I don't know why because getting it up for ollies and shuvs is no issue at all. Have any of you had to break that habit before?

Its just a mental block. If you know it flips, just go for it. You can't really fall that bad. I was slipping out, but that doesn't happen anymore.

I'll have to try. I know when I was trying to learn heel flips I can drag it out like an ollie then flick, but I went back to focusing on kickflips.

so I'm too exhausted to try much after a 10 hour work day, but in my warm up I managed to land 4 kick flips out of like 20 tries which is still progress for me. When I do get it to flip and go high, I guess I have to land with my legs still tucked in or else my feet hit the board upside down.

Anonymous No. 186292

>>186291
Also when I do little cheeky kickflips a lot of the time the board wants to rotate. I guess because when I start the flip my weight is turning the board to the left and when I start the flip the left side of the tail hits first and makes it want to rotate right? All I know is I started trying to learn 2 months ago so I'm proud of what I can do.

one other thing I have to consider is I'm a size 10.5 shoe trying to ride a 7.75 because my old board was a 7.6 when I was like 15 years old. I might have to just admit to try to move up in size.

I signed up to the SkateIQ patreon to see what the street/vert foundation videos are like. A lot of the snippets they post on YT are from these and they are some of the most helpful videos in a way. They aren't the be all end all of tutorial videos, but almost every video has at least one tidbit of info that can help you work things out quicker, rather than giving exact breakdowns on everything. I'm currently working through downloading them all so I can cancel the sub. Maybe I'll package them into a torrent or something.

Focus on visiting new parks and trying new obstacles than learning new tricks. Being an adult is fun because you have the ability to travel more easily now. I don't think you ever stop learning a given trick. There's always some new thing to do them off/on/over/into. And sometimes just going to a park and trying to get a single trick on every obstacle is a fun challenge. As is trying to find lines in bowls.
