I could already ollie but still learnt some things from this. I also often end up at the park teaching someone how to ollie so this gave some good tips to pass on I never would have thought of.

>teaching someone
That is kind of the reason I watch tutorials, but honestly I never would have figured out a kickflip with out modern tutorials on youtube because I never used to make any skate friends. Now it seems like board control is clicking into place without anyone telling me how its done. Like people can argue about how a heel flip is done and theres tutorials showing you to use your heel or saying its no heel at all and either works. Im still trying to find my perfect set up, but no YT crap is going to tell me what works either so I just have to pony up the cash and keep trying stuff, but Im almost there. I cant tell if I want to stay at 8 or 8.25 with some 8.25 trucks for my next board. I like how 8.25 seems to have a lot more options at least when shopping online.

I just bought an 8.0 deck to put old trucks on, also have 8.25 and 8.5 set ups. I gave up on having 1 board for everything and it's nice to make use of old stuff instead of letting it collect dust.

how do i stop making my ollies suck?
my few issues stopping me from getting more height is:
front foot/weight landing too close or past the front bolts, stopping the board/wheel biting and eating shit
too much weight on tail. the board will always slight tip up when doing hippies
not lifting quick enough after popping. how do i practice a better and quicker lift/flick form without brutalizing my body?
please help a shitter

>front foot/weight landing too close or past the front bolts, stopping the board/wheel biting and eating shit
Your front foot does most of the jump, but you arent supposed to bring your foot forward, you are supposed to bring it straight up and that creates the slide on the board after a successful pop. It should be doing kind of a D shape if that makes sense. Up and out to level it out once its reached its peak or where ever you want to level out and aim for bolts on landing always.
>too much weight on tail. the board will always slight tip up when doing hippies
hippy jumps always start and end on bolts and for an ollie its all popping with your ankle. Practice popping the board with out standing on it and seeing how to pop with literally just your ankle.
>not lifting quick enough after popping
Practice, but its possible you are bringing your front foot forward too fast. You need to go straight up then level out when you are at the height you want.
I just started learning switch and nollies and I can do it and am pretty damn proud, but it takes so much set up finding the sweet spot for my pop. Idk what nollie pros do, but off the nose I tend to pop with my ball of my foot on the tip of the nose where as a regular ollie my ball of my foot is much more centered on the tail.

I typically only film street clips. If I do want to film something at the park I only do it if I'm the only one there. I would feel like a fucking asshole if I was trying to set up my "tripod"(propped up water bottle or random nearby object) while there are several other skaters there.
I'm of the mind that eventually I will lose my power and finesse as I age, and I'll be damned if I don't document at least some of my progress. That said its been about 3 weeks since I filmed anything. It has to be the right time and place. I don't even hard post anything. I just hoard clips and sometimes put them on my story, or rarely put one up in one of these threads. It helps with motivation for me too. Seeing an old clip will remind me of how far I've come.

Pic related - you can get them for very cheap on Ebay. Do 15-20mins of pure ollie practice with these on every day if you can and I promise you will see improvements quickly. Don't ONLY do these stationary versions, still keep trying them moving if you can, but use them as a supplement during downtime where you don't have access to somewhere you can roll around and do them moving. It takes the fear of hurting yourself out of the equation so you can focus fully on technique and timing, which will then transfer across when you try them rolling. Works best if you can do them on a hard surface so you can feel and hear the pop happening to help with timing, but carpet works as well if you have no choice. Other things that helped me get through some rough stages of learning ollies were learning tail stops at speed, manuals and trying basic shuvs - basically anything basic that improves your board control.
>front foot/weight
>too much weight
For weight stuff, the best tip I got from the 50 odd tutorials I watched was learning to intentionally rocket ollie. Do a light pop off the back and don't even bother sliding that front foot up at all. Just lift it to give the board space to come up a bit, then land back down with good balance. Add some slight ankle bend on the front foot once you got that down and the board will start levelling out.

The worst part is when you land something stupid like a boardslide on a mid rail and then some faggot who can't even pop an ollie (of course his Instagram and personality shows he is all about the skate life) tries to pressure you in to filming it so he can put something on his gay ass reel. "Land it to fakie it looks cooler". SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LEARN TO DO A FUCKING OLLIE YOU WASTE OF SPACE.

Never broke a thing in my life from skating, maybe a toe or something. And I'm close to 20 years on the board. Just don't go from a 3 stair to like an 8 or do something way out of your comfort zone. If you're not trying stupid shit, you won't break anything most likely.

My local town is infested with people who never hit the streets they just sit at the park and pretend they like skateboarding, doing the same 5 tricks they've been doing for 10+ years. No street sessions, no nothing. EXCEPT for when they want go filming. Insane poser shit INDEED!!!

lmao. over 10 years I skated around my home town and surrounding areas and would run into another skater maybe twice a year on average. thats that small town suburban life for you unfortunately. when I would run into other skaters they'd ask why they never seen me at the park and I just tell em I hate parks skateboarding is for the streets or some shit like that. now to be fair its not like theres a whole lot of spots around but once I learned about rubbricks/lacquer I was running around making spots everywhere. now I live in the city tho so none of this is a problem

Nothing wrong or weird with preferring the streets. I like parks when people are actually stoked to skate like Idk indoor parks with a fee (I'm European, half of the year is rain or snow) but I hate the culture of people just hanging out and using the local skatepark as some kind of hangout spot for the older guys who don't even really skate anymore. Like go take up fishing or something if you want to sit around and smoke weed and be an old fuck.
>>206256

Never really had trouble with getting kicked out maybe once in a blue moon some police car will stop by and ask to not skate a certain spot. But if you avoid private property, in my experience, this rarely happens.

i prefer parks because you can show up and mess around, do lines, hit different obstacles. the street spots in my area are single obstacles so if you're over it, you'll have to drive to another spot. also, street wears down your pop, trucks and wheels quicker. so if i'm gonna take the time to drive to a spot, deal with all the things that make a spot hard to skate – shitty ground, crack before where you'll pop, a higher, rougher ledge or sticky rail, etc – and that wears down your setup, yeah i'm gonna want to film the trick because why else would i go there?

Ali boulala did one, I think it's fairly recent. Just type his name in to spotify and list by podcasts. He has one of the most controversial/talked about careers in general and he came up around the late 90's and his best stuff arguably is from the early mid 2000's. So might be what you're looking for. A lot of skate history stuff too like how he came up with the name Baker etc...

sounds like you just dont care about skateboarding honestly. DIY is one of the foundations of skating. Building shit with the homies to skate is the best and builds a community. having some bald manlet politics kook come in and completely fuck shit up is not good.

I feel like he could of trimmed it down a bit, but it was pretty entertaining. I love seeing Tim Pool get called out for the insecure little baldy that he is. He is clearly seething that he has never been accepted within skateboarding. The part with him claiming to have skated handrails and big stairs, but didn't film it was hilarious.

So I came back to skateboarding this year, been ordering everything online assuming its cheaper. I ended up going to a vans shoe store which had a small ass selection of shit everything was unorganized as fuck, but they had what i wanted and it was about the same cost. the deck was cheaper than what id get online, trucks were more expensive, but I got 15% off for being a new customer. I initially headed to an actual skate shop, but the road was closed for some public event and I said fuck it. but Ill try there next time i need something. Gonna try out thunders and an 8.25 for the first time, but its so wet and humid outside.

>The part with him claiming to have skated handrails and big stairs, but didn't film it was hilarious.
The whole video was hilarious but I actually laughed cause he said like "I dont care about getting clips or filming etc." which is what we were discussing ITT but like hand rails and big stairs are the things you definitely should and would film lol.
The thing I found most interesting is how TP doesnt mention any actual skate companies or like any actual pro skaters. He just talked about Aaron Kyro/Braille and Steve Berra/The Berrics. It makes me wonder if he actually follows actual skateboarding at all or if all he knows is youtube shit.

Just did some cruising and a flat ground sesh. I think the board madness is over. All my muscle memory works out perfectly and I get huge pop which I think Ill attribute to the thunder trucks. I get good rotation too like first frontside 180 I threw I over rotated. Only curious thing is the shop didnt have jessup grip tape they had mob, grizzly and mini logo grip tape. I felt the mini logo tape and it felt not that abrasive so thats what I put on. The adhesive probably needs to set in especially with all the moisture in the air right now and it seemed like thick adhesive. I think its less grippy than jessup especially because when I was rubbing the left over sandpaper over the grain it was taking lots of grain off which is fine with me. I dont need a lot of grip.

I don't care what anyone says and I don't care about Tim Pool, seen some of his videos not in to politics whatever seems like a decent dude. The gifted hater skatenerd seems like a total kook with his stupid edits and opinions. I am glad I didn't grow up in this current gay ass youtuber commentary era of skateboarding. That being said, I like John Hill and the other Asian on his team can't think of his name. Jason Park?
All I know is this "part" or you know low effort day of skating in the warehouse edit is pretty fucking tight great song as well. The fucking one foot manny shuv it kickflip goes hard as fuck. The guy was obviously talented he's not even tryharding in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Lg

my locals are much much cheaper for bushings and hardware, about the same as online for wheels and trucks, and about the same for in demand decks but they also have decks nobody wants for like $40 alongside the mini logo decks (which I don't see on amazon so cheaper than paying shipping from the mini logo website)
bag of indy hardware is like $3something at one of my locals, indy bushings like $6?
I also just got a Santa Cruz hat listed for $28 online at that same local for $19

I imagine toy machine will still be selling the same board for a good while, so I'll probs be able to get another down the road. If not, then I'm just stuck with pink trucks which is not really a big deal to me.

this is my 8th month of learning a kickflip. I learned it fast and as soon as someone asked why i dont level it out I fucking had to tweak it. Its so frustrating getting it consistent. I have yet to land a well popped+ leveled out+clean kickflip. I cant wait for the heat to die down so I can just keep trying for longer than like 5-10 minutes at a time.

it depends on how anal you are about it. If you're just putting together a new complete it's fine. If you're not skating because you need new wheels but you have to wait for the right color wheels to come in stock, it's lame.
but either way caring about whether someone thinks your setup looks lame is lame. do what you want, take the time you save not giving a shit about other people and use it skate.

as for progression, you should keep an eye on Andy Anderson, some people give him shit because of his dorky/autist look (has been wearing a helmet since day one) and downplay his skills. This dude is the closest thing we have to a modern day Rodney Mullen, pushing the boundaries of what can be done with a skateboard.

Honestly I don't have a problem with wearing helmets, I've got nothing but respect for Andy as he has never given in to the peer pressure of taking it off, as he has stated in multiple interviews back then, the dude simply values his safety and that's totally valid.
It's like I said, a lot of people try to downplay his skills for wearing a helmet but honestly, you cannot watch one of his clips and feel motivated to go out and skate, the dude just oozes fun.

rail skating is one of the reasons I got into skateboarding after watching Zero's dying to live video, Jamie Thomas was a fucking freak back then.

Breakdancing is corny. Buying a skateboard, learning to drop in on your first day, jumping off your board because you don't know any tricks or how to turn on a half pipe. Learning to do 50-50's, the basics, the excitement of it all. I really don't see it.

To quit something you have start with it first LMAO extremely retradeded indeed.
Huh I just checked his profile apparently he can do kickflips and pop a decent ollie and a year or so after posting this he learned to finally drop in. I don't get it though. Don't most people learn to drop in as their first trick if you can call it that? It takes 0 skill it's literally a put your mind on blank and just do it type of thing. (+ it's fun as fuck) of all my years hanging out at the skatepark I have never witnessed someone be this slow/bad at learning a drop in.

I have no hate for the /r/newskater types showing their miniscule progress but this is too much. Doesn't he have any buddies to show him the trick? Can't he just walk up to someone and be like hey, I just saw you drop in the half pipe could you give me some pointers or something? Again, It boggles my mind, it really does.
>dude isn't even fucking trying
I am actually confused as to what is going on in his mind.

I guess it's what fears you the most. This guy fears looking over the edge at the ground and imagining all his limbs and bones exploding if he makes the slightest fuck up while trying to drop in. Maybe for the flatground tricks it wasn't an issue cause he didn't feel like he was directly staring down potential slams? Maybe his brain is broken? The updates on his page aren't great, either. He finally got it about a month back, but he also posted how he feels like quitting cause his progress sucks and I would agree. 2 years of skating every day and he's still working on ollies and kickflips and barely able to drop in on something slightly higher than his shins? That fucking sucks.

maybe if he didn't dress like a dad going on his morning jog someone might help him but he looks seriously out of place. he looks like he was jogging by and saw a skateboard on the ground and thought "hey I can do this"

I can’t really skate transition. I can barely drop in and only go to the park to skate the box and shallow hips and banks.
I am more comfortable with street and skate curbs, parking lots and stairs mainly. I notice my style is a lot different to the park only guys who tend to skate transition well but often look really wooden outside of that.
I am putting more effort into learning transition but I don’t think it is a dealbreaker and just skate what makes you feel comfortable. I prefer the way I skate anyway over a park only skater but no hate.

I never even looked at my fucking bushings. I still learned to ollie, fs 180, pop shuv, could ollie/180 sewer grates. And this is how thousands of fucking broke ass skater kids did it when they were starting.
So when a fucking noob that cant even stand on their fucking board starts talking about swapping fucking parts and buying shit thinking it will make them better I do indeed get fucking heated.

Definitely when you're starting out, gear doesn't make that much of a difference so like some anons have said even old hand-me-down stuff is fine to use and often the first stuff we can afford. You can ollie and 180 on anything really.
However in terms of technical abilities, I love my X-Formula Bones wheels as they're comfortable for street. I ride 53-54mm as for street it gives me a bit more leverage over rough terrain, stones and silver m series that are quite loose but worn in and comfortable on an 8'0 deck. I really want another pair.
I ride the park skaters boards with their 52mm 101a wheels, non lubricated and dry squeaking bearings and tight 8.5 wide trucks and boards and it's a miserable experience for me.

I wish I didnt have to go down the rabbit hole of finding the perfect gear, but for me its the fact I rode 7.6 boards with venture lows and now a 7.75 from todays manufacturing has longer, mellower kicks and a really short wheel base basically built for kids. I pretty much figured out what works for me and its some mid trucks that dont push the wheel base in and between 14.25-38 wheel base. Rolling with 8.25 for now, it has many advantages, but it is hard to flip so far. might keep the deck width and try thunder 147s

Yup, I started on some fucking like 20 Euro Aldi board or something. I took it to the skatepark, I did a bit of back and forth in the halfpipe, then I learned to drop in, but since I couldn't really do much else, I just sort of would drop in, do 2 turns, and then let some older dude skate. Then this more experienced guy was like, 'hey kid, lemme drop in on your board.' Then he was like, 'bro, why is your board so slow? I can't even get to the other end.' So I had shit trucks, shit wheels, shit bearings, and a shit board, but it was in fact a skateboard with a concave, and since it was so goddamn fucking slow, it probably even helped learning stationary ollies and 180's, since you know, cruising around like a noob, doing kick turns and 0.5-second manuals, was not an option. I think I broke it after like a week of practicing stationary ollies lol. So then I got a gnarly brand new Mini Logo, and it was one of the happiest moments of my early teenage life, and the start of my shredding journey!

In terms of bearings, I ride mini-logos. Anything that is decent in quality like Bronson G3's, Reds etc is going to be fine as long as they have rubber removable shields. Shieldless bearings like Bronson Raws are garbage and they usually get gummed up pretty fast in street skating.
I clean my bearings about once a fortnight depending on how much I skate. Often if I'm been skating crust spots they'll accumulate more dust than say a plaza or park, but every few days I'll swap the wheels around to ensure even wear and I put a little teflon grease from a spray can with a straw applicator on them. To clean I sometimes use isopropyl alcohol or else if they're really dirty I'll wash them with liquid dish soap and an old toothbrush. You let them air dry afterwards then grease them.
I don't think people really need expensive swiss bones or ceramics but if people want to spend that money then more power to them. Just cleaning and regularly lubricating bearings does wonders for them as you'll start to notice with people who don't maintain their bearings at all. Some people say it gives them a mushy feel but to me it's way more comfortable and feels better on my knees.

Sorry I meant lithium grease not teflon grease. It's mainly used around electronics but I think it's pretty much a thinner, runnier speed cream. It's easy to apply from a can as well.

Also you only need to replace your bearings if the rubber shields get warped or damaged and they press against the internal bearings and nylon racer. Or if the racer is popped or damaged. Of course with cheap metal shield bearings, replace them as soon as possible as they're almost impossible to maintain and get damaged easily.
Though these days bearings are so inexpensive they're almost an impulse buy but they're very easy to maintain in good condition for a long time.

I just got some mag lights and 45 95a OJ's (I don't know shit about gear). I just told the guy at the shop I want the lightest and the fastest street board you have. So he recommended me this setup. The wheels definitely feel fast as fuck the mag light's grind great but they feel completely different from regular trucks. (not in a bad way, just very different) maybe a bit harder to do long ass manuals or something.
>>207063
Never got another Mini Logo board but I did ride the bearings for years alternating with regular Reds and maybe Black Panthers, never spent much on bearings. But always keep them oiled up.
>if they're really dirty I'll wash them with liquid dish soap and an old toothbrush.
Huh, I had a brand new board fall apart once from riding/walking home with it in the pouring rain. (bus ticket was like a euro and I had 90 cents or something, so I had to get off before my stop, real petty female bus driver bs) So I try to stay away from putting water on them but I'll try this if they get real worn/dirty.

I only do this if dirt is accumulated inside the racer and gummed up with the lubricant. Take the bearings out the wheels and dump them in a cheap plastic container like an old ice cream pot.
You don't really need to soak them, just scrub them with a small brush that you can throw away afterwards or clean. Then let them air dry, you can spin them with your finger to help facilitate this process but it only takes an hour or so at room temperature.
Then spray in the lubricant, like I said in the previous post I use lithium grease from a can but you can use whatever you'd like.
Then stick the shields back on, turn them with your finger and wipe off the excess grease from the shields. After that just pop them in your wheels again, you can wipe the wheels with a soft rag too if they have any dust on them.
Turning the wheels regularly helps with even wear, just like how it's done on motor vehicles.

Interesting about the board too. If you want a board that's pretty much impervious to water then a Dwindle Resin 7 is the way to go. They also don't really lose pop and go soggy that fast. I usually skate Clutch decks but I've got a soft spot for R7's too.

Well this is awkward. I tell noob skaters that they can probably learn on their piece of shit $30 board but the first thing they should probably switch is the bushings kek
Those things are pieces of shit and 90% of them have plastic shit bushings that don't turn or do anything. Makes rolling down a bank or hill 10x harder.
I think the official noob journey should either just get a cheap decent board to start, or swap out piece by piece their piece of shit. And I think the order with consideration to importance + price is probably bushings > deck > bearings > wheels > trucks.
Now I have money I am collecting decks like the proud boomer I am. It's nice to have a selection.

its not about the price its about trying to gear fag your way into the hobby which isnt possible. I used to hang out at a skateshop all the time during covid and I saw this shit happen so many times in fact almost an exact scenario to the autist ITT where some mid 20s dude who just started skating and could kinda ollie was asking me about bushings and I was like just tighten your trucks a bit and he looked perplexed, ended up walking out with bushings, whatever more money for the shop (and no that dude did not keep skating). Kids would buy and ride whatever (as long as it was baker, they all wanted baker boards) but the dudes with paychecks would go on google and do all sorts of retarded research about whats better for what occasion before they even touched a skateboard.

Reading stupid posts like this really reminded me how as a kid I never knew any of thought of this shit and just rode a POS board having the time of my life until I got enough money to buy my first complete. None of this shit matters. If you're an adult especially you should have the funds to get a decent board regardless, and if you don't, sort out your priorities. Changing bushings on a wallmart board wont do shit and they might not even fit. The only advice to learn is to actually go the fuck outside and skate instead of shitposting online and watching retarded youtube videos.

This is just the natural distinction between being a child and an adult. Children have no money and don't have the life experience to make sensible decisions for themselves, meaning they are also particularly susceptible to marketing. They generally take whatever they can get and are happy with it, because that's all they have. As an adult, of course you could also just grab any old cheap ass complete to learn on, but why not take the time to do a bit of research, get a quality board with quality parts so you can learn on something decent and then continue to have something decent once your skills improve? Assumptions about quitting aside, your first board will probably last you a long time if you make the effort, which will save you money in the long run. It's just sensible, anon. Sitting in a skate shop seething because the adults aren't acting like the children is batshit behaviour that only a dribbling retard would do.

Let me remind you all of my main point, you cant gearfag your way into the basics. You cant even balance on a board? Thats nothing to do with the parts on the board and everything to do with you. When someone asks "how ollie?" should we be recommending a deck with a different wheelbase/concave?
>The only advice to learn is to actually go the fuck outside and skate instead of shitposting online and watching retarded youtube videos.
also last week I gave my old set up to some chick in her 20s from my towns free stuff/give a way page because she didnt want to drop a utility bill or 2 on a board without knowing if she'd stick with it. not everyone lives with their parents some of us adults with paychecks got rent and bills to pay and groceries to buy.

I never brought up walmart boards once I would never suggest a walmart board to anyone. All I said is you cant gearfag your way into the basics and thats it. You people are making up shit in your heads to get angry at me about and its pathetic.

I always blow out the top bushing of my bones, I think I'm going to swap it for the stock bushing and keep a bones bottom. This might be the beginning of some truly autistic madness and this thread of mongoloids has only inspired my retardism.

I'm looking to get into this. As a complete beginner, should I get a Birdhouse complete? I've heard mixed things about them but they're cheaper and easily available. I haven't skated since I was a little kid so I will spend a while just learning the basics before I get into tricks and shit. Would a Birdhouse skate be ok for this?

no, go to your local skate shop and ask them to build you a complete. what size are your feet? that will matter when your choose the size of your deck and the size of your deck will determine the size of your trucks, the wheels and bearings shouldn't matter as much though.

Hey guys, my ankles are slightly bigger than average and my hands are slightly smaller than average, what size shoes do I wear and then what size boards should I buy for skating with shoes vs without shoes? do i need clear grip tape for the board without shoes?

if the dude has big ass feet he should skate at least a 8.5 or maybe bigger. birdhouse completes don't seem to go above an 8.1

lmao, this is the mentality that ruins these threads.
>>207268
yeah a birdhouse complete would be fine, a complete from another company like baker would probably be higher quality though, I know baker uses some kind of cheaper pricepoint version of indys for their trucks at least. You can swap things out as needed but it should last you a while. Id start with a 8.25 unless you have huge fucking feet.

this is ridiculous. 8.25/8.5 is still industry standard. going bigger than that for your first board is crazy.

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, there aren't many skate shops where I live and the ones that are don't have much stuff so I will probably have to order one from abroad. So no physical shop. I'm looking to buy a complete because I don't know much about this and I just want to get started. An 8 inch board or one slightly wider would be perfect for me, from what I've read online.
I haven't seen any Baker completes in the stores that deliver here but I've seen some other good brands like Creature or Toy Machine or Alien Workshop. Will probably get one of those

these are all pretty awful options but I'd go with creature personally. Id get a 8.25 so your trucks will still be good if you decide to go smaller to a 8.0 or go bigger to a 8.5.

nice. Im 5 foot 8 now size 10 shoe. First new board I bought coming back to skating was a 7.75 to use with my old trucks and the WB was 13.75. way too short and skinny. Sent me down the rabbit hole since im on my 4th new board in the span of 8 months. My current set up feels great at 8.25 and 14.38 WB and thunder 148s, but im curious about 147s and maybe somewhere 8-8.25. Everything works out perfectly with my current set up, but my kickflip takes a really hard flick which I can probably just build up the muscle for. Plus Im so used to popping close to the edge of the tail and idk if I should change that or not, but watching some skate videos I see a lot of people pop more centered off the tail or nose. I definitely try to use it off the nose since nollies are new to me and it seems to work just about the same.

I'm 5'11, size 9 shoe. I don't have any issues skating an 8'0 deck. People keep telling me to go up a size but it's harder to flip. So nah.

I'm the exact same. I did get an 8.25 to try, and I do like it for riding fast on transition at indoor parks and using it for mini ramps, but I thought I had a permanent mental block on kickflips until I went back down to my 8.0 and started over flipping the board cause of how easy it was.

IMO the shoe size/board size thing is as much bull shit as all the methods to figure out if your regular or goofy. what works for you is what works for you. If shoe size really mattered we would have gotten bigger boards in the 90s instead of everyone riding tiny ass 7.5/7.75s. Some people can't flip bigger boards but ive seen 14yos flip 9 inch decks no problem, its all subjective.
Im Size 9 (US) and ride 8.38s and to me a 8.25 feels way too small and a 8.5 feels like cruiser board territory.

inseam/leg length is more relevant than height but hardly anyone measures that despite it being necessary for pants sizing

yeah but modern 7.5-7.75 have way different dimensions today. Everything is way more mellow, shorter with longer tails and noses.

Anonymous at Sun, 11 Aug 2024 13:20:22 UTC No. 207383
that explains the short wheel base, but mellower kicks are more popular now as well as longer tails and noses and idk why. last board I bought online had a short tail listed, but it was like half an inch longer than what was listed when I got it. I gave in to what ever I can get, but i feel like setting up my old venture lows with some 50mm wheels on my 8.0 and have a little hoverboard for some flatground today, but im pretty determined to get used to 8.25. harder to flip but everything else is great.

sorry that happened but unfortunately you cant trust shit and get technical with it 90% of the time when buying online. its probably some stoned/half hungover kid in a warehouse doing these measurements. thats why I dont even bother, I've tried several different board brands so I kinda know how each company's board is gonna be and thats all I base it off of. and as a 8.38 dude i dont have too many options anyway.

4chans making it hard to post, but i just wondered now that if its the fact I have mini logo grip tape on my newest set up making flicks take so much effort. Its not grippy at all. I know I dont like too much grip like mob which is why I got it. Might have to regrip it lol.

everything mini logo is gonna be sub par crap but their $25 decks got me through tough times when I was a broke teenager.
regripping is easy just need a blow dryer or use a heat gun if you have one.

yeah probably will do that. and yeah I used to skate their blanks. Wish I had a sheet laying around. I have rubber grip tape cause I bought 2 sheets, but the first one I tried I took it off after 1 day because as soon as it lost grip and I wiped it down I was like fuck this shit.

I'm a 40 year old boomer who wants to skate as a fun way to get exercise, if I go to a park are all the zoomzooms going to be weirded out by me being there? I got a cruiser board and skate around parking lots just so I can get used to riding a board. My ultimate goal is to ride bowls at my local park either on a surfskate or regular skate. I'm not trying to do a bunch of tricks. Just basic shit.

I went out and regripped it with jessup. I didnt realize how much grip helps with my flick. Kind of makes me want to try mob again to see if the extra grip helps more, but jessup seems perfectly fine.

no, parks are all ages, go in the morning on the weekends or morning till school lets out weekdays. use your regular deck dont bring your surfskate that will turn heads.

Rubber grip is worth a try. I only tried it for one day and it got pretty dirty. I went to clean it off the next day and impulsively just regripped it because I didnt like having to wipe it down, but I just shoe goo my shoes so they last a long time with regular grip tape. Also I pour sweat so in the long run im sure it wouldnt have worked for me.
