what are you guys opinions on names in the videos? lots of people whining about the new nike vid not having names but they put all the names in order of appearance in the video description. i think it's fine desu and having names in the video would distract from the skating when theres a different person every 5 seconds. I think names title cards are good when it's a part that is at least 3-5mins long like older full length vids but not for these montages with 50+ people.

Agreed with everything you said. There was so many skaters, some of them having really short clips. It makes sense in this case.
Plus if you're actually involved in keeping up with skating you'll know like 95% of them already.
ALSO
Deedz footage was nuts. None of those things looked like skate spots.

Exactly, they can't be all that bad. Their massive nike bucks are going back into supporting worthy talent and letting them skate places they might not be able to make otherwise, funding trips for 50 odd skaters is not happening with many other companies, besides maybe redbull.

So far I've tried Lakai, N balance and Etnies in various models, but the longest lasting and most comfortable were the Marana Michelin (black and white). I wear them skating and just for everyday use as well. Fucking mental how long they have lasted. They are on sale right now, I might have to grab another pair just in case.

I havent had a pair of lakais in like 10 years. i have two pair of the joslin vulc with the michelin bottoms and theyre the same, long lasting and comfy as hell. I think I have a beater pair tucked away somewhere too.
anyone here ever skate circas? had one pair back in the day absolute trash shoes. within a month half the sole detached from one of the shoes and the stiching was coming apart on both and it was winter so I hardly even skated them. some companies deserve to go outta business.

NTA but I don't think you should be skating a 15" wheelbase unless you only skate transition or vert. You are gonna have a hard time flipping your board at that wheelbase.
Take a look at these standard shapes for BBS/Generator which is what most skate shops use for shop boards. I'm on my second stack of G838 and I'm 6'2 170lbs. I think my next stack I want to try the G85S because its and 8.5 with a shorter wheelbase. I think it would help with my treflips.

The biggest thing about e’S is that they only have sti energy foam insoles, not gel like the old days with pro shoes. They recently rereleased the Muska for a short while, they basically did go out of business and I think the 9 Club and Kelly Hart revived them. All in all they make solid shoes, they just need to be a bit lower priced and once they gain more market share then innovate with insole and skate tech. Not sure about vulcs, I never skate them or thin shoes.

Why do people do kickflips? Is it just becsuse they think it looks cool or does it have a practical purpose? Like does it let the skateboard stay in the air farther/longer/higher to clear bigger gaps/jumps or help it go in a straight line or something? Or is it just a fancy trick nothing more?

I think you want 14.5-14.75". Your truck brand will effect wheel base and things like fingers of flat make a board feel longer/bigger too. I'd be more concerned with width/length. All a longer wheel base did for me is make landing bolts not cause my knees to hurt/bend inwards as much, smaller makes tricks easier. I assume at some point in your skate journey you'll want to at least try 14.25" etc. it seems like a sweet spot.
Check out Leon Paxton on YouTube. He is a taller guy who rides lots of different big boards, might inspire you.
All that said just go skate, board autism doesn't improve your skills.

Nike's SB division is like a double edged sword because on one hand, its nice to see a handful of skilled skaters under their payroll but at the same time, you can't let go of this feeling that it doesn't feel "real" because its a big corporation, even though the team was spearheaded by some legends to run the show when they first launched it to have skaters think they are "legit".
Also, the whole SB dunk hype among hypebeasts. I remember snatching like 6 pairs at a nike outlet for like $20 bucks each because nobody gave a shit about those back then. Now its fucking impossible to find them because everyone wants to make a profit off those (even skate shop employees who steal some of their inventories to flip them on the market for a quick buck.) It sucks because its one of the most comfortable shoes I've ever skated in, plus they are quite durable so there's that.
>>207548
I like having name titles, even if they are super quick (say 3 - 5 seconds long) because I can't keep up with all these niggas, at least not like I used to back then. In fact, they could make use of YT's timestamps if their editors are too lazy/want to shave 5 seconds off their rendering queue.

dawg that shit is so fucking dumb, it was always the dumbest looking mother fuckers would come into the shop to sell their dunks or asking about em or buying em. there was one sneakerhead dude that worked in the shop that was actually kind of cool and he taught me about fake shoes and shit and I was like flabbergasted at the concept, but dude has a god damn black light pen and could run it over a shoe in a minute he'd be like "nah these are fake because of X, Y, and Z." He also had a method of changing a dunks colorway that looked professionally done which was also neat.
>even skate shop employees who steal some of their inventories to flip them on the market for a quick buck

If you want to be able to flip your board you shouldn't be skating 15" wheelbase. If you are complete beginner you can try it. Maybe the extra stability will help you learn how to ride. You'll likely be riding a 9" board though. This whole height/weight discussion really doesn't matter. Its all preference. In the 90s everyone skated 7'5, short or tall, Fat or slim

I’m pretty sure my deck is 8.5” and that seems to be good enough to flip it but I was curious if my big feet need a longer board.

A removable shoe insert, otherwise known as a foot orthosis, insole or inner sole, accomplishes many purposes, including daily wear comfort, height enhancement, plantar fasciitis treatment, arch support, foot and joint pain relief from arthritis, overuse, injuries, leg length discrepancy, and other causes such as orthopedic correction and athletic performance.
Medical use of foot orthoses has been criticized as lacking evidence of benefit, and practice is very inconsistent: reputed podiatrists prescribe completely different orthoses for a single patient.[1][2][3] Further, effect of a given design of orthosis varies significantly by patient,[4] and standard practice to personalize prescription is not available.[5] However, evidence is mixed: patients often report at least short-term improvements in comfort, and other studies have found effectiveness.[6]

Footprint and Remind are 100% marketing and not needed, unless the insoles that come in your shoes are trash (in which case you should probably look for a better shoe brand).
Vans, Converse, Fallen, Etnies, Emerica, Last Resort, etc etc all have insoles that are fine and not worth swapping out.
If you make the mistake of buying Footprints you'll know as soon as the packaging comes in that you fucked up. It's such blatant mass produced low quality crap it isn't even funny.

This is the shit ass packaging they come in. It's rare I fall for placebo hype, but that's what it is.
Even if you have a low/high arch, insoles aren't necessarily the answer. And Footprint/Remind certainly won't help your feet any more than normal (good) skate shoes.

arent FPs like 35 dollars too? total marketing scam. Ill swap out the insoles in a pair of etnies or emericas for some 5 - 15 dollar dr scholls or store brand equivalent and makes a world of a difference personally. allows me to wear my skate shoes as work sneakers too without any discomfort standing/walking in them all day. but since I have like 5 pairs of shoes and switch it up everyday my everyday leg/feet fatigue has been improved as opposed to wearing the same 1 or 2 pairs all week.
side story: one of the dudes who worked in the skate shop was a big boy and he would actually STACK his insoles, like put dr scholls on top of the regular insoles instead of removing them and he would talk about needing another insole on top of that and when I told him your only supposed to have one and take out the stock one he was like "nahhh that sounds crazy." whatever tho dude had a mean kickflip and a handful of switch tricks, but he switched to bmx because he kept snapping a the tail of a board at least once a week, homie needed to learn to land bolts.

sorry didn't answer this in my last post, usually with insoles you buy a generic size and use scissors to trim it to fit your shoe, you do not need to buy a bigger shoe. buy your correct shoe size and cut the insole accordingly.

also remember to adjust your dick and balls if theyre in the wrong position it could mess up your balance. like when doing 180s you wanna make sure your dick is more on the leg of the way your turning. if your regular and your doing a frontside 180 you want your dick and balls to be weighted more towards your left or forward leg, if they arent and are instead on your right/back leg you will more than likely end up landing on two wheels/your tail as opposed to landing bolts

Fractured my wrist a few times. the worst one was manualing to a 4-5 foot drop and lost my balance right at the end and landed on my wrist, double fracturing it and bashing my head against the concrete. Honestly wasn't too bad, prior to that I collided with another skater and his elbow bashed into my back which hurt way worse.

Tucking is entry level, reddit tier knowledge. Real ones track their digestion and choose to skate when their waste is sitting within a desirable section of the large intestine, granting them additional balance for the session. If you don't know which side your shit is on, you don't skate.

It makes sense to me. You can still ollie and do stuff, just you can go over really shitty pavement and carry some speed. Just say long board to get more specific. Ive been meaning to make my 8.38 a cruiser board since its too large for me to really want to skate much, but it still has hard 54mm wheels and the vibrations hurt my feet when I go cruising.

will do, not gonna be one of the dickheads in these threads that doubts others life experiences and shit but in my 24 years of skating Ive never even seen an actual skater on a zip zinger and every filmer Ive met is basically just on a crusty 8.5 with soft wheels. new york niggas prolly got more money than philly niggas tho.

pretty sure soft wheels mess up every grind/slide trick except boardslide variations, so I'd only get a normal board with super soft wheels if I loved flatground and manuals and lived in a crusty area or skated dirtbike spots.
In the city it just looks like someone wants to cruise to work while looking like they can ollie, I can imagine someone cool making it work though.
Most dedicated cruisers are fine, even premade. You can work with the soft wheels to get back to the roots of skating and just try something new.

I never had it checked by a doctor so can't confirm (which is ironic because I worked at a hospital at the time), but I'm pretty sure I tore a ligament in my ankle when I was learning 5050s on flat bars.
I was coming off the end of the rail and my front foot drifted off the board but my back foot stayed on, I rolled my front foot and then immediately ran over it with all my weight because I still had weight and momentum on the board.
My ankle was completely black/blue within a couple hours, had a bad limp for a couple weeks and it took a few years before I was able to throw certain tricks again - 360 flips in particular caused me pain for awhile afterwards, I think because of how the scoop/flick loads up the ankle.

i have not tried this but you can reprofile your wheels with a lathe or drill with a chuck that can hold a kingpin, a mandrel made with a kingpin, 2 cone bushings, and washers, and something abrasive like a file, sandpaper (like from griptape), or even concrete

Assuming you're not riding low trucks, no riser.
Bones are over rated but Reds are still fine. Bronson G2 or G3 would also be good. Literally any bearing at your local skate shop or that you find on an online skate supply will be fine.

Thanks for telling me that. I’m pretty sure I have $10 bearings in my mini logos and they seem fine but I never touched a decent build.

Speed differences between any $15 bearing and a $45 bearing, or even $70 bearing will normally be fairly negligible once they're broken in. From there maintenance will mostly be the determining factor for what keeps them rolling well. It's silly when people dump $60 on some "high end" bearing but then never clean them.
And for the love of God don't pop the shields off on them. No, the balls are not going to crunch up and "spit out" debris, it's just going to massively accelerate how the bearing degrades and prevents you from properly oiling them.

Got into skating this summer and It's become some of the purest fun i've ever had, wish I got into this sooner. Great exercise, always something new to work on (gives me something to put my mind too cos i'm adhd as fuck) and I've met chill as fuck dudes who I instantly have a bond with cos we're all just doing something we love and it's pretty niche in the city i'm in which just makes that network tighter. Going out at night and just riding around, feeling the wind on my face or going to spots that are chill and spending hours messing around has all felt better than therapy could ever. I can eat shit doing the same trick over and over and still enjoy it, maybe this is what it feels like to finally find something that just clicks with you.

chiming in
for me it was actually my foot kicking forward (towards it's toes) and down while popping, causing the nose to turn the other way (I'm regular so with travel direction as forward I was kicking to the right, which pushed the nose to the left)
my shoulders were square and I was popping on the center of the tail
I fixed it by focusing on popping back/down (towards the tail)
also lmao at all the square shoulder advice and then you see the way yung wavy and onodera squat down shoulders PERPENDICULAR TO the board

The square shoulders advice is because it helps you line up your hips, which are the part that needs to be parallel to the board. Your hips will follow your shoulders which follow your head.

A while ago I had an idea for a used skate shoe exchange website where you could buy sides of shoes individually. Skaters who don't skate switch much only wear down one of their shoes. The other one could be practically brand new but since one has holes they have to buy a brand new pair. What if you could sell the untouched shoe instead of having to throw it away? Or buy just one used shoe instead of buying a new pair? Would any of you use this service? The only issue I see is spreading foot fungus or some shit.

Why did street skating explode in late 1980s and 1990s?
Besides obvious Ollie/kicklip invention.
Was pavement shit in the 1960s-1970s and early 80s?

My big issue is squatting tires me out, when I do boneless the board doesn't snap in half so I'm not that heavy.

Tony Hawks games are much better because they show off some insane vert shit at high speeds that is hard to pull off in real life.
If skate 3 can motivate you to learn laser flips, tony hawk can motivate you to at least try to do a 900 or get some big airs in a vert ramp, imo these things are a lot cooler than laser flips on flatground
