really like asics creative direction as a brand so far and glad skaters are getting paid or whatever but the massive logo (japan pro) is not only ugly but some how an even more boring looking shoe than a vm001 last resort shoe... but some of their shoes do look interesting like pic rel, i wonder how they skate... any one try them?

In it Moose says he gets $100 a month from his board sponsor. That is insane. For $1200 a year you can get someone like him on your team?! /esg/ should start a brand.

Moose is kind of an idiot. He could have stayed on Deathwish if he had just moved to LA. Imagine giving up the opportunity to rub shoulders with people like Riley Hawk and Jamie Foy. People like that could have helped him make a career out of skating. Now he just makes boring as shit youtube videos and works at home depot.

I thought he left because he didn't want to go party with them but in that video he says he was an alcoholic for 4 years. Was also getting 5-6k a month for a bit. There is probably more to it but yeah, seems like career wasted.
Merlino I feel worst for, I really liked him back in he day. Cool to see he is in a good place and found Jesus too.

To be fair that footage was actually for Vans' Propeller video, not for a Toy Machine project, and Vans cut him off their team at the exact same time as TM. Johnny said himself he hadn't been getting out skating the last several months before then.
It sucks and I think it may have been a hasty decision on both team's parts but I don't think it's anything evil.

Let's talk about something more practical. How do you guys feel about your current progress? I get really critical of myself, but since I've been recording myself more I've been a lot more motivated. I can honestly say that I look way better on my board than I did months ago. I would recommend filming yourselves at least a little bit.
>"I don't have anything worth filming"
That's not the point. Its just so you can see yourself and get a better idea of what is happening. Sometimes a kickflip will feel god like and then you watch it back and it sucked. You get a baseline of your physical presence and can work to break bad habits.

i feel like it's lame to be overly self critical of your skating early on, it's always so cringe to see someone that can hardly kickflip take skating so seriously, if youre not doing flip in flip out shit and hitting rails, getting paid of flowed stuff you need to relax. the most insufferable person at the sesh is always the dork getting ass blasted mad and raging over how he cant fucking 5050, not saying thats you, but please never turn into that guy.

I just get down on myself if I feel like I'm not performing how I know I can. That doesn't affect how I treat anyone. It affects my own mental state. I'm also no beginner. I just find it motivating to track my progress through video. Its helping me silence that voice in my head

i feel like i can easily tell if the execution of a trick looks good or not based on how it feels, never felt much of a need to record my self and study it. but i do kinda know what you mean sometimes when im skating i feel like im going way faster than i look on camera, when ever i think im going fast chances are i would actually need to got 2x faster for it to look sick in a clip, but i aint doing all that, my days of killing my self over skating are long gone, much prefer low impact skating these days

I feel you man. I definitely don't think its a good idea to film every time you skate. I mostly set up my camera if I'm learning something new or trying something I know is going to take me a lot of effort. The setting has to be right too
My friend and I have been filming each other recently. Which has caused me to film myself less in the last couple weeks. I picked skating up again like 9 months ago after a 3 year break, so those early sessions of filming myself do kickflips and tre flips are really eye opening now. I'm visibly slimmer, have more pop, and just look better on my board
I guess the entire point of my original post was that you can motivate yourself by tracking progress. I guess for some people that could be as simple as keeping a mental note of everything you've been learning and doing, but for me having a visual record of my progress has been really helpful. I've also considered the fact that I probably won't be able to skate forever, and being able to look back on these times will be nice

Hunting for that perfect board shape got me going crazy. I want to find a setup and stick to that same formula.

(I mentioned this last thread so sorry for spreading my insanity)
It was a Toy Machine, but what makes it confusing is I think it may have been a misprint. Every website lists that board I bought as different dimensions to what it actually had.
Considering buying another and seeing if either all the websites are wrong (including TM's own website), or if I did in fact have a misprint. And if so what mold that actually was.
It's not a huge deal of course but I've had to switch decks since then and I miss that last one lol. It was super mellow/flat, even the kicks were pretty subdued, and it had a nice full/square shape. For an 8" it had a lot of meat on it, if that makes sense, and I liked that.

toy machine infuriatingly switches woodshops frequently. the last time I skated one it was awesome, i was excited to buy another with supposedly the same dimensions but it was completely different in numbers and in the "feeling". it was a ps stix instead of their usual
i was so mad

Yeah I thought about that as well, they've jumped back and forth between BBS and PS Stix a few times in the last few years, and it also varies (or did at one point) on if it was a team or pro model board.
BBS and PS Stix are both great woodshops so I wouldn't complain about a board from either, but it makes tracking their shapes obnoxious as you said.
I found a board from Snake Farm that I'm interested in, it may not suite what I want but the dimensions are really unique so I kind of want to see how it feels -
8" wide and 14" wheelbase but has a 32.125" overall length, so I'd assume the nose and tail are huge. It's listed as a "full shape". No idea what the concave may be like.
Sucks boards are $70-$80 a pop now lmao.

I've actually become more social through skating. Being out in the world going to street spots and skate parks I've met a bunch of people. Skaters and otherwise. Before I started skating again I was a recluse. I still naturally lean that way, so I rarely go out of my way to talk to people. A lot of skaters are just friendly and want to shoot the shit or give props

Same. I only leave my house to go to one of three places: The skatepark, the store, or work. I don't talk to my coworkers unless I have to and it's work related.
Even at the skatepark I'm definitely the quiet one, but that's also in part because half the time I'm the oldest one there by several years unless I go at earlier times in the day. I appreciate though that I'm still on good terms with the other guys there, we do the polite board taps/clap when someone gets a good trick, still give a wave hi/bye, so that's good. Hard to explain but it's nice knowing that we're still able to be friendly with each other and have the rare interaction even though it's clear I'm "outside" their group.

0. Im working on ollie height, leveling out my kick flips and 5050s on a round rail. I tried some noseslides too, but it moves too much. I set it up next to a fence so I can catch myself if I fall off the rail. Pretty much figured it out, stay low, nose grind first to get my back truck on easy instead of just ollieing on and cross lock, but I have to work on dismounting. And my kick flips, I usually point my toe and flick sort of towards the pocket for a quick one, but now I keep it sideways and just flick straight forward. I just have to get my back leg up high enough to catch the tail.

Ive only been skating for like 6 months after a 20 year break . I never had any flip tricks under my belt. I can probably commit to landing a heel flip but this is the year of getting a kickflip i like

how do fuck do I avoid constant palm bruises?
I consider myself good at falling, but every time I have to palce down my hand when falling, it feels i just broke my palm in half. No matter if I wait week for it to heal, on the first fall it's just the same shit
do you have any tactics when falling forward on quarter pipes or something?

I'm back to it after a 10 year break. I bought a shitty 8in complete to test the waters and it felt tiny. I used to skate a shaped board I got as birthday gift so decided it was best to just get another shaped. I only really skated mini towards the end anyway. People always ask to try shaped boards but I keep forgetting to tell them I skate mega tight trucks.
Decided to splash out a little on this bad boy. Got some protection on the way as well because i'm not getting any younger.
My goals
>re-learn 270 fakie 5-0s and pivots. Already learned the fakie halfcab rock n rolls so will be easy once I get those back trucks on the coping
>learn to skate bowl
>learn blunt fakie
>learn some cool dad tricks
Already got a a skate trip planned with a few friends this summer, going to hit the big indoors and some new DIYs.
All the new shapes look cool, I like the look of those egg boards and those wedged pool boards.

People naturally ostracize me i've noticed. I get the odd outgoing person trying to be my friend (usually thinking i'm shy or I need to come out my shell) but i'm not very reciprocal so they tend to stop trying to include me. I also don't do the fist bump or board slap thing and I don't know much about skate culture or tricks. I used to think it was a confidence thing but i'm quite self-confident with my age now and i'm happy to be the one to start a conversation or say hello. I also try to be encouraging to kids, especially if they look intimated or they are eyeing up a ramp or something.
I just don't make friends at skateparks. I get on better with the parents usually lol.
I'm music obsessed and I get the same thing with that too, I don't understand gigs and I don't give a shit about the artists I listen to. Nothing to bond over.
high functioning 'tism I think. But yes, my progression is glacial. I've skated since I was 5 and i'm 30 now.

This is such a personal preference thing. Bigger boards are the current trend. I feel like older heads are more likely to ride narrow boards because that's what was popular back in the day. I grew up skating 7.75s with my older brother, but by the time I was a teenager all my friends, big feet or small feet, were riding 8.25+
I've found my personal sweet spot is 8.38. Wide enough for the stability I like, but narrow enough that I can flip my board with ease. Widest board I ever tried was 8.6. I wear a size 12.

Is it normal to have to take a week off of skating after a drop/stairs session?
Not a boomer, relatively young, but I'm starting to move on from curbs and pads and onto ledges and started to ollie off of 2/3 stair drops and my legs have just been killing me.
I mean I can go skate flat a couple days after but the deepest part of my thighs feel sore in the morning like 5/6 days later. I wanna go back and throw myself off shit again once it's healed but holy fuck am I gonna have to wait another week again after? I can see why people don't skate drops much even if it's fun as hell.
Any stairs/drop/gap bros here? Does the recovery time go down as you add more stairs? In my head 2 stairs is double 1 stair but 3 stairs is only 1.5 times 2 stairs and so on.

Opinions on women skateboarding? Honestly, I don't like it when they are better than me haha'.... Anyways, we've gotta a huuuge boom in women skateing in my country, that's great and all, they and beautiful and sometimes skate it good, but I don't know if they do it for the hype/likes/follows on insta and ze cute boys, I don't know how commited they are to it. Something feels off about it. I mean, where the fuck were they back in the 2000s? Seems like they are doing the same thing as they did in ~le nerd/video game culture. Maybe Rayssa Leal is the guilty one.

being gatekept from it. Times have changed, girls are slowly being acknowledged as human beans and skateboarding is now mainstream. Be grateful they are on the skateboard and not a scooter instead, leave them to it and enjoy your TnA. No one likes a sausage fest apart from gays, who are probably the most disappointed by the this demographic change.

That's the only reason women will do anything these days.
I'm not going to complain in general about seeing more women skaters but I agree with guys like Ninjalifestyle who say we need to stop patting them on the back for the smallest repeated tricks/achievements. Every team has the token "girl skater" now. There have been very few standout female skaters of actual skill, IE Marissa Del Santo, and her career was also pretty short.

In your experience, how many sessions do you need to break in a new trucks pivot cup?
I'm 2-3 sessions in, an it still sticks to a side when I step off the board. Tried to use lubricant, but it only works for like half a session.

Do you ride really tight? They're going to be more prone to doing that if you skate tight trucks.
Some trucks also do that more often like Ventures and Thunders.
If you ride super tight changing to a harder bushing so you can back the nut off a bit while still having the same "tight" feeling while turning may help. But in general if the above criteria are accurate to your setup then it may just be a thing for you.

I ride it pretty lose I think, sometimes even get wheelbites. That's why I'm confused about this.
It's just strange because my trucks feels tight when pushing around with one foot, but feels pretty loose when stepping on it with two legs.
I thought that's maybe because of the new pivot cups.

Its less likely to stick if you refrain from tightening or loosening them out of the box. Give the bushings time to get broken in after a couple sessions. At least that's been my experience with standard indys. I haven't tightened or loosened my current pair once. They just felt perfect day one.

Gonna get a regular board next in a couple months but have no idead which. any suggestions? Im thinking a 28 or 30 inch so I can learn tricks. Im just starting out. I have a 30 inch Mongouse board I changed the wheels on it's pretty cool but I def will need an upgrade. Probably start learning to ollie on the Mongouse in the mean time. Today was the first day i left my parking lot. The trip to the smoke shop was a bust cause i rrealized I couldnt ride the plastic Faster board on the side walks there, but After that this evening I tookl it to the convience store and it was a great ride for the parts I rode.

I order online anyway to find 7.75 and they have a 7.75 with a 14.2 inch wheelbase which sounds pretty ideal and a normal length tail. Its either that or a real board with a shorter tail, more effort to pop, but more pop. Both boards are like $40-45 which is about as expensive as Ill get on a new board.

I tried to go up to wider size and it makes no difference to me other than slower flips and I like having low 7.6 trucks with 7.75 board and a short tail. Only thing I dont like is a wheelbase beyond 14 inches is rare on 7.75. If I go up, I have to get 8 inch trucks and something like 8.15. There are online stores here that stock Jart evidently.

Dude not even I can do some hipster doodle drawing myself and while it will be reddit, it will still be 10 times better than an iphone wallpaper. Even those shitty illegal civ ones are better.

That's my point, there's no excuse for using lazy graphics or AI shit. Getting actual art for your boards that expresses your brand is either expensive nor inaccessible.

Summer humidity has arrived in Texas.
I should retire my gay ass IT career and build an indoor park.

Listen, I get it. I'm no stranger to the skateboarding scene myself. But lately, I've been seeing some real disrespectful behavior from certain skaters. Just the other day, a bunch of punks thought they owned the place, skating where they shouldn't and giving attitude to anyone who dared to call them out. And you know what really grinds my gears? It's the blatant disregard for rules and common courtesy. Look, I love skating as much as the next guy, but there's a line between pushing boundaries and being a straight-up nuisance. So, enlighten me: why the hostility towards cops when all we're trying to do is keep the peace?

Those troublemakers crossed the line one too many times, so I had no choice but to slap the cuffs on them. It's not something I enjoy doing, but when people refuse to play by the rules, they leave me with no other option. Maybe spending a night in the slammer will teach them a lesson in respect. Let's see how cocky they are when they're facing the consequences of their actions. And mark my words, if I catch them pulling the same stunts again, they'll be dealing with a lot more than just a night behind bars.

sk8mafia has some 775s with 14.2 wheelbase. the last 5boro i got has a 14.25 wheelbase at 32 length but they don't have the measurements on their store so idk if they changed it. south central presses some really sturdy decks as well with pretty nice concave for such a skinny board.

In the 90s Jews took over skate culture and poisoned the minds of the youth. Corporations continue this tradition today.

Boards front cracked a little but it should still last for a long time
Shoes almost worn out

One guy did that at our local skatepark but his kid was like 5 y/o, the park was packed and the kid was flopping about getting in the way (I was just scening it because i'm shit and couldn't see any openings to skate any ramps) someone accidentally knocked over the kid and the kids dad ran up and picrel
Was quite bad, the dude that accidentally knocked the kid over was shook and bleeding, the dad did it all infront of his kid..
skaters, man.
