Same, generally speaking. I finally had to make a concession though and start skating periodically with an old LG G5 in my pocket just for music. I still don't like how in some pants it feels like it inhibits movement a little bit.
No one makes a normal damn MP3 anymore besides chink eBay companies that don't work right.

Post (You)r setup.

Toy Machine 8.0 Deck
Pig Griptape & Allen Hardware
Venture 5.2 V-Light Hi's
Spitfire 52mm 101a Tablets
Spitfire Burner Bearings

Fallen 7.5 Goat Shoes

Really digging this setup, I experimented with some different shapes and sizes on stuff before settling into this. The deck has a very full shape with square kicks, extremely mellow concave. I have short but wide hobbit feet, so I can't really justify going much larger than an 8.0 board and this size/shape feels perfect for me.
I never skate street these days, there's no good local spots so I'm always at the park.

Since I returned to skating I keep trying to find what works and I guess around 8 inch deck and 14.25-14.38 wheel base is the way to go. Im just curious about trying softer wheels since I don't like the skateparks near me much. I can find spots but I cant imagine being able to spend much time with out getting kicked out. Still searching for a private place to set up some slappy curbs and maybe more.

Im also curious about more expensive bearings like I was thinking buying 53mm 97a classic shape wheels next time and bronson raws.

Anonymous No. 201284

>>201279
Personally it's been a long time since I've bought into bearing marketing. Unless a bearing is actually choked up/broken, I don't normally see a huge difference between a $18 set of bearings and a $40 set of bearings.
I also don't agree with this trend of not using shields on bearings. Debris isn't just going to "fall out" of a bearing, and if you use lubricant on exposed bearings it's going to cause all that dirt and shit to stick to the balls/cage. But if you don't use lube, they're going to roll like shit quick.

I've used Bronson G3's before and they were fine, but IMO I don't agree with the marketing with the Raws.

Rubber grip is the weirdest part, loved it at first then hated it but it eventually grew on me.
I just bought a new sheet for the new deck, planning on doing normal grip on the back and rubber on the front since my biggest issue with it is the lack of grip on the tail.

Ive got to wait til next time I break a bearing. Same with my wheels, I cant justify new wheels when mine are still in good shape.

I tried the rubber grip and the first time it lost grip, I took it off instead of cleaning it. Id rather just keep using shoe goo on my shoes, and honestly I can keep my shoe for pretty much a year. Plus Im still tweaking my flip tricks to get them how I want so I want consistency.

Anonymous No. 201297

>>201295
If you skate a lot of street I'd actually keep the conical shape and get the 97a, or even try the new 93a.
Similar to a softer durometer, a wider riding surface will also give a smoother ride on rough terrain.

Or they have the radial shape and classic OG and all that stuff too. Lots of good options.

Anonymous No. 201300

Seen a lot of people say the same thing, they try rubber grip once then never again haha. At least for me i always got bothered with how i was wasting my shoes away with every flick, rubber grip kinda solved that. I haven't used shoe goo, the stuff i used to put on my shoes to make them last longer as a kid were always too hard and messed up the flick, gotta try it sometime

When I was young a bunch of kids similar to the anon above snatched my bros brand new alien workshop 7.5 and bolted, another group stole my friends bag and made him pay them to tell him where it was. There was plenty of other run ins. You'd go to some sketchy places and deal with sketchy people. No one got hurt in the end and there was many positives that outweighed the negatives. And I wouldn't trade those negative experiences for the surveillance state we live in now, where everyone is the secret police. Because most the good times wouldn't have happened too.

This reminds me of when I finessed, fucked, cucked niggers, then saved this drug slut. 20 yo blonde petite big butt big tits elf ears, tightest warmest pretty pussy. I sold her drugs once before then she told me her dad was on a business trip n I was like bet I'll let you in on something, I'll sell you a half g of this drug for $70 dollars and show you how to drop it on candy, it's 500 doses. She was like come over now lol. A whole gram only cost me $50. So I of course weasel my way into staying at her house the whole week her dad's gone and end up doing copious amounts of drugs with her slaying her pussy with my straight man cock. She invited her girl friend over but also guy friends too turns out they're all niggers trying to do what I'm doing but they can't cause my drugs and fucking style are superior, she just calls me "the plug" to them lol it made them so mad, one nigger even punched a hole in her door and stormed out after I cucked him so bad. She said she fucked all of em, but they couldn't get to her that week that was my domicile. So at the end I sat her down and told her she needs to move away to her mom's and get sober and stop fucking with niggers. She did all that cause I was the smartest person she ever came across. Like 6 months later she sent me a message begging me to start a onlyfans with her and let me manage her money. Deleted my insta soon after tho.

Im doing an experiment. Ive always rode bones reds or cheaper. I took a really old set of fkd abec 3 bearings with shields that arent supposed to come off, popped the shields off with a center punch and a hook and I want to try them raw because my current reds probably could use a cleaning soon.

I just dont like the idea of maintenance. These took hits from a center punch and a 2lb ball peen hammer and everything's in place and spinning despite being like 20 years old. Just going to let them soak in dish soap and water, maybe use brake clean and a heat gun later and idk what wheels Ill put them in, but Im only skating 52-54mm for technical skating. I have 2 long board set ups that I have no idea what wheel sizes I have or bearings since I last used them over 10 years ago before I quit skating. They were supposed to be my rain board set up wheels and bearings, but now the shields are off, I just want to see how they do.

Anonymous No. 201764

>>201759
only thing is I should find a way to put shields on the inside of the bearing, they are uniform in the place holders for the balls. or I can imagine dirt just building up inside the wheel between the 2 bearings, but that would take a long time to build up and maintenance would be just taking them out and putting them back in I guess

I did. I just started skating again and learned a kickflip in my moms basement last december. I took it outside in 95+ degree weather and went to a tennis court for the first time to skate. I like the limits of my moms basement in a way because with all the space and head room I have outside on smooth ground and assuming someones going to be watching, I land the shit I practiced. I know limits of skateboarding have been pushed, but finding unique spots and getting a sexy kickflip at least will make me happy.

On the topic of kickflips, Ive always skated tight trucks and as a kid I didnt have any weight anyway. So I am forcing myself to ride loose trucks and of course am heavy now. When I pop my kickflips I have a tendency to have the board start to turn backside like its going to varial kickflip, but not enough to where I cant land. I think its from putting my weight down to unintentionally make it turn left before I pop, but idk still learning.

Also if I can ollie 3ft over the middle of the tennis court net doesnt seem like a farfetched goal, but it would be cool if I had some up high ledges to practice getting on to first. I didnt even attempt it, but I know I can do it.

Im trying to learn a pressure flip or a tre flip, which ever one clicks with me first. I have no idea how they work when its almost all back foot scooping. Im guessing pressure flip, back foot is closer to being over the wheel and it scoops back and forward and a tre flip has a back foot farther away from the wheel and its almost entirely just a backward scoop with all the weight down on your back toes.

youll best learn by experience and stepping on a board and maybe finding youtube videos for specific questions. Honestly sometimes tutorials mess me up more than they help because everyone does something a little different. You cant rush the process though. Like you might land a kickflip in a few days once youre at the level to start learning them, like you can do ollies and 180s and shoves, but itll take another year or more to get them good.

Ventura probably has the worst local scene in the whole fucking country. It's bizarre how bad it is. I am not involved with any of it though, I just skate by myself. I'm a big lurker and I am acquaintances with a lot of people here though so I kinda know what's going on. There are a lot of pros that have come out of this city relative to its size eg Diego Todd, Curren Caples, Jake Anderson, Aaron Loreth, the list could go on...

The first thing to understand is that about a year ago a new skate shop opened in town. It was a partnership between Mike Anderson and another local guy I will call A. Because of the location of Mike and A's shop it has a sort of 'hoodrat' thing going on where a lot of the people in that scene are a bit questionable. FWIW from what I've seen Mike Anderson is a good dude, I've never had a conversation with him but he's the kind of guy that will say what's up to everyone at the park and just bring a good vibe to a session.

In this city there are three skateparks which are all really bad. They were apparently built by a regular concrete company in the 90s that had no experience with skateparks. See pic related for an example. All three of the parks are basically the same; weird, steep flow bowls that you can't grind and the concrete is super bumpy and slippery due to years of being painted over. Some small street obstacles around the perimeter of the park. Two out of three have these weird vert wall obstacles. If you've followed Limosine or Frog as brands you've probably seen videos of the park in the picture being skated. There is a small group of local guys who love it and can actually rip that vert wall. Keyword here is small. These parks all basically go unskated 95% of the time. I live about 10 minutes from this park yet I'll drive 30 minutes 2-3 times a week to go skate a decent one instead.

Some of the locals here have been trying to get the city to build a new skatepark in place of West park for about a decade. A lot of them wanted to keep the original park and just expand it, which IMO is stupid but whatever, not really a big deal. In the past couple of years they ended up securing funding from the city to build a new skatepark and locked in Grindline as the builders. 2 million dollars for a new park.

The Grindline reps came to the town and basically said they couldn't keep the original park and build around it because the original park was falling apart and it would be a liability for them. No big deal, it's a shitty outdated old park that barely anyone skates, right? Nope. The locals to this park got all shitty to the point there were literally yelling at the Grindline rep in the community meeting. I was there. Jake Anderson and Curren Caples, pros which get to skate the whole world, were saying that if Grindline was going to knock down the old park to build a new one then they didn't want any new park at all. Insane. They don't even fucking live here anymore. It's worth noting this park is in the 'poor' part of town, and there are a tone of kids in this area who would really benefit from having something to do other than get into gang shit and do drugs. The Grindline rep at the meeting was kinda dumbfounded. Probably the first time he's ever had anything other than a positive reception when going to a new town.

So some time passes and I'm not sure of the details to this but basically A didn't want to (or couldn't) be a partner in the skate shop anymore and Mike Anderson bought out his part of it. I don't know whether there were hard feelings or not. Well part of the reason that Mike Anderson opened this shop in the location was because it is close to where the new park is going to be built which would have been great for business and the local skate community because it's within skating distance of the park.

The funding for the new park will end in 2025. If that park hasn't been built by that time then Ventura won't get a new park and the decade-long effort to get a new one will have been worthless.

So now, 6 months before that funding will be reallocated to something else, A has started a petition to stop the new construction so they can keep the old park. It's the most ridiculous shit ever. They are saying that getting a new park is just an attempt to gentrify the area. These guys are saying that this shitty park that was built in the late 90s is some important part of skateboarding and Ventura history akin to Derby park or something in Santa Cruz. It seems like A is just doing it to spite Mike Anderson and the new shop. I don't even know, it's the most bizarre fucking thing ever. And a lot of other retards in the scene are just going along with it and supporting it because most skateboarders are just braindead normies who will follow authority rather than think for themselves.

If they lose funding for the new park and we miss out on having pic related instead of the previous pictures I'm going to be so bummed.

Honestly due to the sketchiness of some of the people involved in the skate scene here I just kept my mouth shut during the meeting. It's a weird mix of rich hipster kids (like Curren Caples) and legitimate gang-banger types. These people would hold grudges and recognise me at the skatepark if they saw me. I'm also not from here and there is a heavy local element so basically anything I say is just going to be written off as a white blow-in trying to gentrify the town or something.

Luckily there are enough local dudes that have their heads screwed on straight that there is some backlash against this retardation but my God it's frustrating.

Then you don't skate and your opinion is irrelevant. Respectfully. If you've done multiple sports you'd know. When I dunk for example I have a preference which foot to have forward when doing a 2 foot jump. When I do flips I have a different preference which foot to jump form. Could be different for skating for different people. Easiest way to know is whichever foot naturally goes front when you're about to slide on ice.

Anyone decent on miniramps/qp's got advice for getting onto the coping/doing fly-outs when the transition is steep/higher? I'm OK at babby heights, but anything over 4ft starts making me feel like I'm going to slip out as I approach the coping, which makes me unconciously kill my speed before I can even get to it. I'd like to just do a fly-out or something on a ramp like pic related, something that has no coping so the fear of that isn't there, but I just can't get my balance right and I always lose all my speed and end up getting no air as I go over. Sometimes it's so bad I go over doing a fucking manual cause my weight is all over the place. I think it's the fear, but not sure what I can do to get over it.

Newfag blogpost incoming, I just tried to skate for the first time.
There's a tennis close to me so I went there to practice a bit, just tried to move and stay on the board basically. Fell once early on
Haven't managed to go on a straight line for over 3-4 seconds yet, I always end up turning a bit towards left (found it more natural to ride with my right foot forward). I also managed to turn towards the said side intentionally when I am riding straight but with small increments but for the hell of me I couldn't ever manage to go the other side.
I think it's because I can't move my damn front foot properly so it says like pic rel and I'm not sure exactly how my other foot should stay on the board ( if either my toes or sole's supposed to stick out and if it's supposed to be at an angle or just sideways)
Thanks for reading my blogpost I'll try to be better next time

hi anon, i also stepped on a skateboard for the first time today and I have several theories and logical breakdowns about why I couldn't stand on it for more than 5 seconds, and what I should apply to my approach and mindset for the next time I try to step on, all of which should improve the time I am able to reliably stand on it (i predict I can double the time). Pic related is just one of the samples of how I documented the best way to begin my journey to becoming a skater, and I think i've theory crafted the basics to a decent standard, but the part i found hardest was the practice. I didn't try to step on it it for second time today as i felt the one session was enough for now to give me a sensible taste for what it's like and to make sure I don't overdo it. It will also give my brain a chance to process what happened so that when i come back tomorrow I will be more mentally prepared (also gives me time to study how to step off safely instead of falling off and hitting the ground face down like I did!). honestly, I was terrified to try, but enjoyed it alot in the end, but at this stage the only thing is that I spent more time putting on and take off all my pads and helmet and driving to my spot than I did on that actual session, but I know that's probably typical in the beginning and will balance out over time. anyway good luck, you seem to also have ideas about how to improve, i'm honestly impressed you managed to roll on your first ever time, keep it up.

The nose sometimes hits my shin when Im ollieing. I thought ~8 inch was going to be perfect, but I still feel like its small.

I too watched Professor Schmidt on the nine club and second guessed everything I have.
I went through gear autism for what dragged on to be a few years, settled on a larger set up and accepted I'm not flipping my board much anymore. Had to actively resist that part of my brain firing again.
I think any board will work for you once you get used to it. It's just taking the time to make the adjustments needed to get it working. After many changes my staple tricks were always there and a handful of others got harder or easier. But if I had them on lock like the others in don't think it'd matter as much.
*According to Schmidt I should have a 15"+ wheelbase but I found it too hard to tre flip anything above 14.75.

I had one for about a month when I convinced my friend to get back into it. He couldn't handle the injuries and was way too self conscious about his skill level. It's like he thought he would just get all his tricks back in a month. Shame too because he used to have a mean hard flip and he could have gotten it back with time. I hope he comes back, but he ignores me everytime I invite him to skate. He would always complain about back pain and shit. He's also putting on weight.

I gave up inviting skaters to skate and I gave up on the skate parks for now just because they get so crowded, but I bet I could make some friends. I just returned to the hobby so Im focused on me and learning flat ground, but anyone I know that skates or skated, doesnt seem to want to skate or even talk about it. I used to be solid at riding transition and doing grinds/slides, but Im exploring flat ground now that I understand flip tricks. I had no idea how to do a kickflip when I was a kid.

for those of you who ride wider boards like 8.5, do you still kickflip off the nose? between my 8.0 and 8.38 set up, the 8.38 has a longer wheelbase so idk if thats why or I just get a faster flip, but I flick mostly off the pocket and my 8.0 I mostly flick off the nose.

Ah took me a second to see what youre saying. I can time my heel flips like that where I pretty much ollie then flick, but my kickflips happen a little more faster. I pretty much only work on kickflips because I want them to pop high and level out well, but ever since I started skating again and riding looser trucks that I used to and kind of holding myself to some standards, its a lot to learn. Like if I try to kickflip like I used to with tight trucks, I turn too much so Im trying to get my front foot more centered. I think im done on sessions for today, but I have to think about that next time Im on a board. Ill try to stick with my 8.38 and see if my next board will be 8.38-8.5. I just want a shorter wheel base than 14.5

Anonymous No. 203026

>>203023
I most want to do tech and street and 8.38 is probably about right, but for tight flip tricks into or out of grinds, Ill probably always flick slightly down off the pocket. A high popped flat ground kickflip, I can probably go off the nose with a shorter board.

Id like to try some other brands and go for something like 53mm, but I can get used to what I have. I was riding mini logos which are 47.5mm high no matter how wide you go and they are light, cheap, turn well, but when you have wider boards, the tails arent as short and you have to really snap the board to get a good pop, but all that effort now translates to some really satisfying pop. My kickflips felt so controlled and I was stomping them, but I do kind of think its because I have hard bushings in there. I have to try some grinds.

I picked up some Silver M Class because they were on sale. I think though they’re out of production. I skated Thunders for a long time but they have thin hangers and wear out fast. Also Venture, Thunder and Indy are made in the same factory and I want to give other companies a try.

There’s often Tensor Maglites on sale, apparently the magnesium makes them good for grinding as it is soft. Though there’s other truck brands coming out like Paris and one from Europe called Film but I have never seen them in stores, Krux is around but they often are the same price as Independent. Not sure about mini logos, but the price is right and a truck usually is based around the bushing and how it feels.

Krux are about as high as indys, but that was what I had on my last skateboard before I quit. Theyre light, but I wouldnt buy them over indys if they arent cheaper because theyre supposed to be cheap also they really arent great at turning. I honestly like the mini logos, theyre light, cheap and do turn well, but I guess I could swap out the bushings and even with a 1/8 riser pad they are still lower than indys. I just want to see if having a higher truck helps my pop. Ive only skated ventures, krux and since coming back to skating, mini logos and now im going to go on my indys for a while. I really wanted to give thunders a try, but no rush.

For street I would suggest mids. You want something with enough clearance to not get wheel bite but not too high where it starts to affect your balance and the turn pivot of the truck. I would advise trying some smaller, lesser known brands and just swap bushings/risers until comfy. I don’t get the hate for some brands but also avoid hollow axels, kingpins are fine but hollow axels are whack as they always bend. As for independents if I really wanted to be an old man rolling around the skate park bowl I would just buy Aces. Ace are a much better Indy.

Maybe. Its so hard to judge trucks til youve spent the time to break them in yourself and give them an honest try.
