You should have listened to them. I personally used to skateboard. I could do it all. I could stationary ollie more than a few inches even. Then one day THAT happened. Now I have a crippling fear of car batteries and 45 degree inclines. Quit now while you can.

The best thing you could do is just go out and skate. Nothing is going to motivate you more than feeling your board again and remembering why you love it. If you really want videos though:

I've seen someone hit their head just practicing slow moving flatground tricks once (then another time a kid tried to roll off a ledge). The only times I've hit my head it was from skating ramps in the early days and thankfully had my helmet on both times, though one of those times it was actually the helmet that caused me to bonk my head at all due to how much it stuck out. It's pretty unlikely you'll fall so badly that you'll hit your head just learning the basics, but you never know. You'll have all your worst falls early on.
I'd 100% recommend wrist and elbow guards though. The first thing you'll naturally do is stick your hands out dead in front of you to stop yourself, and those impacts can be enough to break bones at worst and give nasty sprains at best. Kneepads might come in handy too but I tend not to fall to me knees when I'm not skating big transition.

the pissdrunx era was a lot of fun but its a good thing that the culture moved beyond that. not everyone can party 24/7 and huck themselves down stair sets with a 12 pack in em and being able to do that shouldnt be glorified. i dont like viewing skaters as athletes but on the contrary acting like they're rock stars is cringe as hell.

Its the only thing I can think of unless the fattest retard in the world is practicing 5-0 stalls on it. the curb is already crusty as fuck and chipped with the lacquer scraped off from when I first rub bricked it and lacquered it 4 years ago from what I can only assume were scooters. the curb is fucked, and Im not gonna make a new one in the same spot cause the same shit will happen which sucks cause its in an absolute perfect location in a town with a grocery store 2 liquor stores a smoke shop and once even a skate shop close by. now i gotta fuck off and find a hidden curb outta the way.

Im only there like twice a week I cant like watch the spot, Ive dealt with scooters fucking up other shit in this town before, put a giant giant dent in a parking curb I had a few years ago. i only hope if I run into em there not minors so I can properly tell em to fuck off. i used to be able to slide/grind this curb all the way, now I can only get a foot or two at the most. i definitely need new trucks but it shouldnt matter that much I made this shit perfect.

It really depends on the airport, I've flown out of Ireland with my board no problem, then coming back from France the asshole security made me check it in as oversize baggage which cost even more than normal.
I've also had my skatetool confiscated at airport security in London, so that's another thing to watch out for.

Skated all my life until getting out of college in Japan/Hawaii.
Moved to states and gave my last board to a random kid at the park before boarding flight to mainland. Life hit and now I'm a heavier gym rat dad who just started skating again after a 10 year hiatus.

This is how I convinced a friend of mine to pick skating back up. It's like unlocking latent abilities that you built up in your youth. People skating for the first time as an adult don't have that experience.

My last board when I was like 15 was a 7.6 board and I got back into it with a 8", but the wheel base is less than 14" and I got a 7.75", but again less than 14". I got a 8.38 and its 14.5" wheelbase. The wheel base is probably the most important part for me because I can ollie like a motherfucker on the 14.5, but its so fat I can do flip tricks, but its really slow.
I'm sticking with the short wheel base 7.75 with low trucks, but I'm torn between riding higher trucks with a longer tail and nose and wheel base or just at least getting a 14" wheel base for a 7.75 board with my low trucks and a short tail. I like having super fast pop, but with that 14.5" wheel base I can get a super high ollie out of it. Its just that its fat and it rotates slow.

I'm on mini logos. Theyre the lowest if you ride a wide board. Like 47mm. I'm tempted to try thunders if I want to get a 8" board that isn't short as fuck.

Gotta be real lads, rollerblade vids mog skateboard vids hard. Every skate vid is the same - disjointed grinds and flips down stairs with no cohesion, choreography or creativity. They're going for the hardest trick, the high score, but not style. Watch blading vids way more creative interesting tricks, spots, innovation, STYLE. Is it cause skateboarders are autistic?

rollerblading will never be cool but yes skaters are creatively bankrupt in comparison thats cause skaters are jocks that want to fit in so everything is formulaic while rollerbladers are actual outcasts, you have to be a little odd and incredibly authentic to your true self to rollerblade since it's gets such strong rep of being lame. does not suprise me that their vids are more interesting, still gay as hell though

Wow, rollerbladers are big on fake steez, huh? So many of those roll aways looked retarded. These guys also look 40. The cultural impact of rollerblading is basically zero theses days, so the kids that would have bladed are scooter kids now. The rare times when I do see bladers they're usually chill old heads, but man does their sport look silly to me. It probably looks even sillier to kids that didn't grow up sharing parks with fruit booters

Idk how old you are, but I know that when I got hurt, I knew something went wrong, but it took hours til I actually couldn't walk anymore and I kept skating. Next time I get hurt (I'm 33) I'm just going to stop for the day.

All I know for what I did wrong was I didn't lower myself to the obstacle. The new park built near me has like pretty low obstacles, lots of transition though. Hopefully you figured out your mistake. As for being depressed, I can't help because I try everything to cheer myself up. Its one of the reasons I got back into skating and nothing seems like it helps. Just have to keep going and know there are better days ahead. Skating might bring you down somedays and make you want to give up, but if its fun, if its some kind of way to express yourself, like the way I see it, its good to have and force yourself time to time.

The self filmed kickflip looked really cool, I liked the pop shuv sex change as well. No idea what the hand flip is called.
Several tricks I'm wanting to learn and improve on right now, crooked grinds probably top of the list. I can lock into them really well almost every single time, even pinch and hold them really well, but exiting the grind or popping out is still inconsistent.
Skating with no grip is a bit odd, but I feel like I can relate at least a bit because I've always really disliked MOB grip and how overly-coarse it is - I prefer something like classic Jessup or Pig grip.
I'm new to the general, may try to get a couple quick clips soon just to share something. Been a really long time since I've tried filming anything.

That's a good idea, ollie into nose manual is another trick I've been working on so two birds in one stone there.
Right now the only way I'm landing crooks is by riding them to the end of the ledge and just kind of dropping out of them.

No grip is to protect my shoes. Sick of spending 60 bucks a month on shoes, plus I hate when grip wears a hole into your shoe, it starts putting holes in my socks and eventually scraping skin off my foot. When I stopped using grip, I noticed that the rubber from my shoes creates enough friction for me to continue skating like normal. Even friends who've never skated like this can kickflip it first try when they try my board.
Tldr; I can wear nice shoes to skate, they don't wear down.

I honestly want to try it next time I set up a fresh board for shits and giggles. I know I like less abrasive grip like jessup and I've currently had my pair of shoes last 4 months now with shoe goo. I mostly wear down on the kickflip area. The other day I was curious to try my work boots and they work surprisingly well, but I wear them to work. I might actually start skating in them though when my boots start to look ugly. My boots are light.

I really enjoyed wearing specifically my work boots for skating for a while. The giant sole underneath makes for a great bake pad when planting and dragging your pushing foot to slow down. It doesn't wear down evenly though so eventually trying to walk on them will give you spine problems. It was nice having a large area for stability but at the cost of dexterity, mostly for going down hills.

That is fucking perfect. Of the 3 boards I have, I have a 7.75 with 13.875 wheel base 6.38 tail and low trucks. I guess even just 14" is better, but I'm liking the challenge of mastering my ollies on the short wheel base. Next board I am thinking about getting is 7.75 with 14" wb and 6.25 tail. I feel like a short tail works well with low trucks. The other board is a 8.38 with 14.5 wheel base, but its so fat. I don't feel connected at all, but it makes ollies so comfortable, like my feet don't have to be as close together to get a 2 foot ollie. Ive seen there is a wheel base adjustment tool where itll attach to your bolts so you can drill with precision new holes.

Thats my concern I guess. I just wear those boots so much that it kind of makes sense I'd want to skate in them. Worn the same brand and style for I think over the last 10 years, but they used to be 45$ the first time I bought them, now its double the price. I just save them in my amazon cart and buy them when I see them get below 80$. I wonder if shoe goo can rebuild that rubber too, because its been working with my skate shoes.

ah they are $72 right now in this color. So wide, so comfortable, so light, but I'm not ready to make the change. Pissed they used to be fucking 45$, but they last so long for warehouse shit. I had a pair last me 3 years til the sole separated.

Its probably about the same. I would get started with what you have before making the decision to try. I like my flat ground shit and want to stay below 8.25. My 8.38 is pretty much my longboard, but I guess at some point I have to skate a bowl for the first time.

I can get that, but I feel like short wheel base doesn't limit me but I don't like my feet so close together for big ollies and I don't like how slow wider boards rotate and it feels like I have less control when I'm in the air for flip tricks.

I ride an 8.6 and mostly skate street. Only difference for flip tricks is my legs get tired quicker and 360 flips rotate slower but I never had them good anyway. I think you adjust. Smaller boards feel like I need to be delicate with my flicks now.
I also went from 7.5 all the way up in increments over 15 or so years.

I'm not butthurt about it, but a bit funny - I live in the middle of nowhere so I order most of my gear.
Bought a Toy Machine deck that their own site said was 31.75" length, and 14.25" wheelbase. CCS and Skatewarehouse both list the same specs for the deck.
It was a good board, really enjoyed the shape, decided I wanted to try a 14" wheelbase and slightly shorter board as my next deck.
Noticed when I set up the new board that it looked VERY similar to the one I just swapped, so I got a tape measure and actually measured - The old one I had been riding was actually 31.5" length and 14" wheelbase, so identical to the new one I just bought.
So either I got a miss-press, or all 3 sites have the specs off. I'm going through a bit of "madness" right now, so trying to find a shape to stick with.
Thanks for reading my blog.

Started trying frontside flips for the first time since picking skating back up, I never had them before or really put much time into practicing them but right off the bat they're feeling really good. Landed a couple that were a bit sketchy but I'm getting a good pop and rotation out of some.
Was unexpected that it worked out like that - Always a rare and pleasant surprise when a trick comes easier than you thought. Will keep practicing them, really want to expand my flatground repertoire

They came back in 2019, still skater owned. A lot of the old riders (Cole, Sandoval, Marks) got back on.
Their shoes are good. They resurrected a lot of their old models and made minor updates to them to modernize the designs, and also have some all new models.
They recently had a big season end sale on their site, I got the Tremonts for only $28 which was awesome.

The thing with motivation is it always ebbs and flows. You need to have discipline and go out skating even on days you don't feel like it. Are you going to regret going? Most likely not if you enjoy skating. Sometimes all it takes is forcing yourself out there and hopping on your board

I wish I was good enough at skating to skate spots I find. Plus everyones a pansy and will call the cops immediately trying to skate random public places. Also I ended up liking NJ at this point in my life and even I cant believe it. Miss this park

ive skated this park a few times, Its very fucking weird, the bowl sucks. the c - curb is too low to the ground, that bank is huge and steep, theres that verrt wall thing for no reason, the mini has square coping. last time I was there there were 2 or 3 boomers blasting a tony hawk ass playlist and they each had a couple complete set ups there were swapping back and forth, fully padded, could hardly skate around.

For that price I'd just wait for a sale from a normal brand, iirc slap had a thread where they watch for sales on every skate site, only time I ever use that shitfest of a forum. Point of a cruiser is for it to be easy riding, why risk that on random chink hardware that's hard to find shit on. That or just wait another week on it and get shit you trust, that way half your time on your board isn't wasted on thinking if their acting wacky. Or hell, experiment with em, just find em cheaper than 20, that's the price of some real wheels.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that suffers from this - You ever get a new pair of shoes to skate, but then unbox them and check them out and are like "Man, these are sick and I want to keep them looking nice"?
I almost feel like I need to buy intentionally ugly shoes or colors I don't like in order to skate them without inhibition lol. Or maybe 2x pair of shit I like.

i get a little autistic about them until they've been skated for a few sessions. it's also kind of satisfying to see how they break in though and how your kickflip spot starts showing.

Yeah I'm kind of the same way - I feel kind of bad the first few sessions tearing away at them, but it's like they go through that initial tear period and once they look properly "skated in" they have their own appeal again.
Just rambling. Like you said, shoe autism.

The no-grip thing seems to be getting a little bit more popular(?)
Not exactly the same thing but I've noticed it's VERY trendy right now at my local park for kids to put their griptape on with a whole side or half the nose/tail left bare. To me it looks like a horribly botched grip job, but they're all doing it on purpose.
If Daewon can have a highly successful skate career never using top bushings, I'm sure someone could get used to skating no grip.

im mostly joking, but it's all in how you do the stretch, sitting down grabbing ankles isnt as effective but far less kooky
also if you over roll your ankle intentionally, progressively (without actually rolling your ankle)
it makes it much harder to roll your ankle

Yeh obviously I don't bust out the yoga moves in public.
One of my ankles I fucked badly, I don't really agree about rolling it intentionally, I do a lot to make it stable because it rolls so easily now. Once you fuck the ligaments and they become loose it is hard to undo. Meanwhile my other ankle is solid.
Anonymous at Fri, 12 Apr 2024 01:15:07 UTC No. 193741
yeah i dont mean...actually roll it, i mean progressively extended that range of motion your ankle is willing to accept without pain and gradually that range becomes bigger and thus more durable (untested bullshit)
i will say just because your foot can do certain positions while warm, you can reach that same location cold but you will injure things

It's probably the pivot cups (or slightly less likely the bushings).
If it bothers you, you can take the hanger off the truck and put a little wax in the pivot cup, then reassemble - It'll quiet things up. You can also use something like a silicone lubricant, or white lithium grease for automotives if you have something like that laying around.

Although I will say I mentioned lithium grease, a silicone based lubricant would actually probably be better. Either way, all you're looking to do is lubricate the cups.

Normally once they start sqeaking and creaking they'll keep doing it. Almost every pair of trucks I've ridden has done that though, either right away or after riding for a few sessions.

That has never bothered me. Usually a new pair of indys will squeak on the first session, but after that it stops. I do so many nose slide variations that eventually my baseplate pinches the pivot cup and squeaks with every turn. My current trucks are so worn that I've chipped off some baseplate. Pic related.

They feel way better on the sidewalk and road, even if it means I'm a bit more limited in tricks, so I'm probably keeping em for when I ride around town

Spitfire new 93a F4 "Reynolds Formula" wheels look like they're trying to accomplish exactly that. Looks like they're being marketed/pushed decently hard.
No experience with them firsthand as I basically excluisvelyl skate smooth skateparks, but Spitfire makes good products so I'm sure it's not all hot air. I ride their 101 tablets.

It was from when the Zero team was at it's most "stacked", IMO. Their team at that point in time was just ridiculously good:
Burman
Brockman
Cole
Asta
Tancowny
Thomas
Hill
Rattray
Sandoval
Long list but each one of them was putting out INSANE video parts, and they all rode for Zero. The days right up until Blackbox closed were amazing.

I used to ride the biggest shit at the parks cause no one was on it. Now I am too self conscious to relearn.

anywhere with decks on sale?

You could always check the slap sale thread. If you don't mind blanks you can get generator wood here:
https://skatesamples.com/
I got a pack of 5 and they are the generic shape that skate shops get from generator for their shop boards. They are technically samples so they can come with little imperfections, and the colors are random. I'm on my second one and I really like them

Also, I wouldn't get griptape through there. Get some Mob or Jessup or whatever your preferred grip is

Anyone here recommend non-abrasive grip tape? I'm too broke to keep buying new shoes every 2 months. Not to mention I actually like wearing some of them without holes

foam grip is good if you like your boards being less grippy while also keeping a consistent level of grip through the whole life of your board. it costs way more than a sheet of mob though so i wouldn't really consider it a cost saving measure especially if you go through boards pretty quickly. also like if you foot drag or run out on tranny you are still gonna wear through your shoes. tbqh i consider the fact that your shoes don't get blown out to be kind of a bad thing because they're still packing out and becoming less supportive even if the toecap isn't getting shredded but you don't have the same visual indicators of where your shoes are in their lifespan and i'm pretty sure riding dead shoes on dead boards for so long is 90 percent of the reason why i got tendonitis.

New dickies 847 I got are stiff as balls. I don't remember them being like that. Did they change anything?

is it normal that newly replaced wheel and bearing make landing a flip harder, it's too slippery even when landing a shuvit

not harder it's just different

did you get wheels that hard as shit (97a +) and immediately skate them on polished concrete? If so then yeah that could be seen as normal for someone without a ton of experience, if you got normal hardness wheels and are skating on asphalt then no that is not normal and you're doing something very wrong

it's 92A 55mm on ceramicish sideroad, i think i got used to shitty bearing so when the new one installed it just became too slippery to me, rn i changed it to the old bearing and it's better

Bros my penny board came in the mail today. I tried riding it on my side walks but the side walks are too shitty. works good in the parking lot though. Im kinda dissapoingted, I wanted to livbe the crusing penny lifestyle. STill liek having the board though. Any other suggestions of short boards that are good for shitty side walks? I like shortboard cause of the portablity. There's lots of place where regardless of board imma have to carry it cause of the terrain.
