well i guess as far as clothes, tastefully thrifted well fitting clothes are good i guess, anything that alludes to your personality or interests is cool. skate clothes made by skate companies are not worth the money and not interesting, also don't like expensive hypebeast shit like dime and supreme so just another reason to buy second hand. it's also a more fulfilling way to find clothes.

September seems to be the worst time of the year for package shipments. The sudden influx of inept seasonal workers seems to disrupt the flow of operations majorly, QoS nosedives, and everything that could go wrong goes wrong. Then in October it seems to improve but only slightly as everything recalibrates to the new flow, much of it might be due to drive-by hires leaving. Then in November the hecticness ramps up due to the massive increase in holiday shipments, although there seems to be less shipping problems. December is about the same. January, same? Lots of return shipments. February seems to be when everything finally starts to return to normal which stays much the same until the next September. This is just a pattern that I've recognized. I could be wrong.

do you guys prefer thin shoes or puffy shoes

chunky/puffy skate shoes have been making somewhat of a resurgence it seems, at least online and I see them pop up at the park usually on zoomers lately
When I started skating I always heard the advice that thinner shoes are best because they give you more "board feel" or whatever, but I've also seen oldheads say the chunky shoes are better because they last longer and are more comfortable

I skate half cabs which arent super thin but definitely are compared to stuff like DCs but I[m curious how much of a difference it actually makes on the board

The park nearest me has a flow like a toilet bowl where you can enter in a few ways and find a few ways out where a skater good at transition can take up every line possible. I miss the park I grew up with that is gone now where you had a wide range of banks and quarter pipes back and forth and obstacles in the middle.

Guys the owner of Socal skateshop is dying of cancer AND his sales are all down. Apparently all of the skateshops are doing horribly. The industry is in the toilet...

So today the owner of my local shop showed us the boards they're going to get for skateshop day, which is in February, they're ordering stuff now.
If anyone is interested in those limited boards, the stuff for next year is going to be a skateshop day graphic with a skeleton, a Real Natas board with a cat and little kittens that is kind of nice desu, an Ishod board with cars on it, a There board with disgusting scribbles on it for the gays, and then for the boomers there's a Grosso board drawn by Lance Mountain.
I hope our shops are still in business by then lol

When I go out skating with someone it’s usually shred until someone or everyone gets injured. I see no fun in this technical mostly flatground stuff at low speeds.
If I can’t do a trick down a stair set - it’s not a real trick.
Grinds/slides should be long, last multiple seconds, otherwise it’s trash skating. It’s fine to do a short grind if you’re learning but if you know how to do a proper grind there is no excuse for not doing the whole ledge.

I don’t care if I sound like a dick or a faggot I’m just tired of seeing this shit when the guy KNOWS how to to skate but CHOOSES to skate like a fucking pussy

I don't agree with everything you said, but I agree speed is important. It feels better and looks better.

There is a dude at my local that will hit the box in 3 different places because he is going so slow, and everyone else just has to stand there and wait for him to finish. He's also prone to doing freestyle tricks right next to the box( this park only has one flat ledge that is like 16 feet). This dude will be in primo stance blocking access to the box unless you are okay almost running into him. His grinds/slides are basically stalls. He also does this thing where he does a manual on the box and goes in circles on top holding the manual as long as possible. Its fucking irritating and I think he thinks he is rodeny mullen or some shit. He is at least 40.

the question the guy asked was "What wheels to use for skating in rough ground that can also do tricks" not "What wheels to use at a skate park with a lot of street obstacles"...

56 is standard at most, what my brother rides, who's small and mostly just practices flip tricks, so saying to go smaller for skating rough streets, when you see people killing it on 58s at the park all the time, is bloody stupid. Having your board an extra 2-3mm off the ground isn't going to fuck up your flips if you're skating in the rough.

sure thing, suit yourselves, but the guy who asked the question, wanted a smoother ride that he could still flip, not just to buy regular wheels and push through... Granted even my F4's that wore down to 50mm are still much smoother then some wheels on completes...

>>211302
if you've got shit wheels like Elements, it's probably the wheels and not the concrete that's the problem. Maybe, check with a friend's board, if it's still rough as shit, get a 58/60mm 95a or 97a. If not, 54mm F4's would be better if you're into tech.

Also hilarious dumb data built his whole channel shitting on batb and skatetube then this is what he comes up with. And reveals himself as an overweight nerd.

I can only speak for the 87's, but if I try even just a simple revert I get pitched, but the ground I used them on is really uneven and crusty, so might depend what you're dealing with. I can't imagine 92's being that much different. If it's just for cruising anyway, losing your slide isn't a big deal, just use your foot to slow down instead if you tend to ps a lot.

What about your rictas were so bad, were they 99a or above? I heard clouds are good for cruising (>>212887) and they were, but otherwise don't think any fucker buys them above 92a for general skating.

That's him. He has a 'i played tony hawk, watched a few skate videos and read thrasher, so i think i know a thing or two about skating' look about him. I blame him fully for the atrocious vibes. Even the edits for the YT uploads are fucked, like the fucking gay sound effects and slow mos at the weirdest moments. He's just not built to be a public facing, public speaking person, but he's forcing it anyway. Lame cunt.

hi its me im a stupid fucker. I got 99a's and they were the most vibrations I ever felt outta a wheel, they wore down quick, people warned me I'd get flatspots and I was like eh I hardly powerslide anyway, still got flatspots. fuck em. idk for cruising but I wouldnt buy rictas ever again on principle alone.

jeff does wear his emotions on his sleeve and gets frustrated easily, so I don't know how much I trust his word on "i joked that i was skating poorly and out of nowhere he called me negative!"Jeff posts plenty of clips of him seemingly on the verge of tears over stupid shit. Theres no doubt that playing skate with him for a year wouldn't involve seeing even more of it, so not that crazy to think Zach would get sick of it after a while. I don't think Jeff is intentionally misrepresenting the situation, but I don't think he's aware how his words/tone when he's frustrated comes off to other people.

That being said, Zach was a whiny bitch the whole game and Jeff busting out the "do my inward heels count?" in response to the pressure flip was gold.

>>212855
>GH getting smoked, acting like a tard then having a cry in the comments that he was just pretending to be retarded was the cherry on top.
I thought it was obvious he was just shit talking and wasn't serious. It was just a bad move to be the only person trying to bust balls. Mogely seemed like he picked up on it and tried to chirp back a bit, but neither of them were funny enough with it and after the jeff/zach match it all just came off as awkward.

Chris Chann was super chill as always and seeing zach/jeff spazz out and joa awkwardly double down on trying to make shit talk work in the situation while Chris is just effortless radiating zen makes their behavior look even worse.

I don't think these people exist and the only reason you do is because you're confusing "only puts out skate content" with "is only interested in skating."

Paying for Gifted Hater content is dumb as fuck but I have a little respect for taking "this is a skateboard channel not a vlog" approach unlike most youtube skaters. Keyword is "little" because being one of the least garbage youtube skater is still being a youtube skater.

Of course they do and are exactly as anon said. Braindead and can literally only talk in length about skate related shit. They will obviously dabble in films, tv or music as most people do, but good luck getting any kind of depth out of the conversation if you actually care about one of those things. My experience with these types are mostly older guys 35+ and the only other thing they love to do, other than talk about skating, is spout off basic life advice and platitudes as if it's some kind of sage wisdom they have attained in old age. It's fucking insufferable, those dudes love to huff their own farts. You know them straight away by how they try to teach you how to do a trick you can already land. Miss it once in front of them and that's it, they will be on you trying to give you a reddit-tier breakdown for the next 15mins.

The warehouse at my work has a lot of 2x4s just lying around. The only thing I had to buy was a couple 10' 2x4s because most of the scrap wood was too short to use on the length. I got lucky with the other two long pieces I needed.

I had the bedframe already, but that thing was a bitch to pull apart. Probably a third the time I spent building it was tearing that thing apart. Had to cut a bunch of metal rivets with a reciprocating saw

Golf is awesome. Its like skating where you can do 10 kickflips but one just feels right. Hit the same 10 shots but one you'll hit sweetly. It gives a similar satisfaction.

What about surfing, you fags got a problem with surfing too?

Youll grow out of hating.
It felt different in the cky era. Before all the glamour and big budget shit. Viva La Bam was fun but didn't hit like those early videos, almost like a celebration of Bam /makingit/.. before it was just a group of friends in suburbia having fun. Making bootleg videos and doing dumb shit you and your friends could emulate.
People grow old and sometimes become retards, doesn't change that golden era for me.

Hating things makes you look and feel more intelligent than defending things you like when you're younger.
It will also make you feel more vulnerable while stating you like something because at any time someone can just accost you and make you feel like you're on the defensive.
When you're hating something, you feel like the attacker, an aggressor, and that will make you feel powerful.

Please help with landing my kickflip, anons. I can do the motion and get the board to flip, I can do it at a decent height, but I cannot understand getting my feet back on the board, especially getting the back foot out of the way and back on. Also don't understand if I need to jump slightly sideways (in the direction of the kick) to catch the board, or whether I jump straight up. I can't even YOLO attempt a land cause my feet just spaz out after the flip cause I am predicting it being a primo land before I've even confirmed the flip properly, so always do a one foot catch. Is there anything that I need to know that makes this part easier, or is it literally grind it out until I get that one confident moment and it just happens? Sucks seeing other beginners who are clearly much worse on their boards landing kickflips cause they are low and fast, but I can't even do them like that as a compromise.

No one can help outside of telling you a bunch a basic shit that everyone regurgitates. You really just need to land on the board. Keep your shoulders square with your feet and commit. If you want it badly enough it will happen. Don't beat yourself up over it. Confidence is key with most tricks.

bros I got a weird issue the inner diameter of my wheels where the bearings sit is like .5mm too big so the wheels have like diagonal 'play' and it sounds like i've got massive flat spots. is there any way to like shrink the wheels down or stuff the gap with something? the bearings popped in pretty easy when they were new but it wasn't loose enough to be an issue at first. only like 2-3 months old they're basically brand new otherwise.

protip when learning any new trick: do the flip a few times without trying to land on your board and look at where it lands. That's where you should try to land. For now, it doesn't matter if it lands a little crooked or if it lands a bit to the side or front or back or wherever. Get landing on it consistent and then you can work on building the board control to clean it up.

DESPITE catching kickflips with your back foot most your weight should be landing over your front foot. I suspect the reason you dont want to put your back foot on is because too much weight is over that leg and if you do force it on you'll slip out backwards, so naturally you avoid it. imo thats the issue.
