tom asta is a machine

>>223741

Is 120 years old too late to start skating?

>>223750
For you, maybe no

>Jeff Dechesare
Mystery has been dead for a long time but it bums me out a bit to see him on one of their boards. Dude skates like he's playing techdeck, tricks always have 0 pop and he looks like a baby deer with weak legs on a board.
I guess he's well known enough on the internet to keep getting included in all these Youtube contests.

>>223756
he's kind of a lolcow, he didn't even know his style was bad until he moved to cali and heard people shit talking him but it seems he's aware now that his popless tricks look gross

>>223740
jeff pine looks like a monkey in the thumbnail pic lmao. also fuck moose, dude is gross. bryan arnett is a funny motherfucker though

>>223740
jeff pine's mouth looks like a tight innie pussy

I’m looking to get into skateboarding, how much should I be spending on a board if I’m buying a pre-built? It’s still winter up here so I don’t want to break the bank on something that will probably get the shit beat out of it between riding and water/road salt

>>223765
>he's kind of a lolcow
yeh kinda sad desu like how the cool kids pick a retard to mess with
>>223771
>>223772
who the fuck is jeff pine?

>>223802
sorry i meant jeff dechesare

although i have also seen him go by the name jeff pine so idk

>>223736 (OP)
I was watching the new Jacuzzi part and reading the comments. This guy wrote like 5 comments of schzo babble, so I went to his channel and found this gem:

Think he posts here?

>>223835
thats probably the anon that was crashing out in the last thread kek

>>223835
I think that's you

>>223835
fucking hell kek instant HOF skatetuber
Reminds me of the anon that wrote the nigger book

Finally stopped being a bitch and throwing 5050s on flatbars again. Landed several tonight, now just to get more comfortable with them.
Boardslide shuv as well which isn't very hard but not something I do often, kind of want to work on those more and get them consistent with FS board shuv out as well.

Jeffwon's halftime show was the only part of psl worth watching. Fuck all of you Jeff is in the streets 4 real still getting buck in his 30's

>>223865
Nah he's a slap fag

Welcome to Villa María del Triunfo, Perú.

Marissa back lip was a better thread u guys are fags

>>223915
>>>/pol/
this thread is about skateboarding not gender politics

>>223916
The pic went harder the trick was harder it's overall better than this gay ass budget 5050 with a movable rail, are u that much of a beginner faggot?

i love going to the skatepark and being the only white dude there

>>223928
Where do you live? Is it all hispanics?

>>223884
these two little shits are UNIVERSAL

>>223930
yeah socal, almost all mexicans and some blacks

>>223800
you can get a brand new complete for like $50 on places like craigslist and offerup. I bought a used skateboard for $20 that still has a lot of life in it. All it needs is new bearings but I can't be bothered to ride.

>>223965
>but I can't be bothered to ride.
sums of this general perfectly

>>223967
Can't afford even the slightest injury right now. Also, it was only just to skate with a family member and help them get the basics down. But they lost interest so eh. It was never a hobby I took serious.

I will skate until my knees no longer work

>>223972
more power to you.

>>223972
I'm 31 and my best skater friend at the local park is a 45 year old that shows up pretty often - He still moves pretty well.
Get healthy habits in your 20s/30s and keep them up, and you can get a lot of longevity out of your body.

my knees no longer work

Yeah, after seeing Frank Grewer ollie wallenburg at 50 I'm convinced I have a lot of years left in the tank. Stretching, cross training, and consistent effort will win the day

God damn those are smooth ledge combos.

>>223976
>>223988
I know guys who are in their early 60s and still skate. They take it pretty easy, but they're still out there having fun. I plan to skate forever and even if I can't skate anymore I will just go hang out at the skatepark and talk shit to zoomers.

>>223999
because I enjoy the sport and because I can.

>>224009

>>224011
It was a part of my life growing up. I was never good at it but I started skating early 2000's and that's when skateboarding was huge, so it's been something I always appreciated, despite never learning more than ollies.

>>224134
why is Eetu skating with those dweebs

>>224134
Yurokebabs worship America.

360 fs no complies are coming up decent now. Rarely I see people doing them like that, it’s usually that lazy 180 followed by a revert. I’m popping that shit and spinning 360 in the air like God intended.

>>224162
Also I hate how wobbly my arms look on those, but is such a shoulder/arm dependent trick that is hard to keep the arms from flailing like that. I envy those who can do beautiful, laid back no complies using the hips more then the arms. Not my case tho.

>>224162
Nicely done. Makes me think of Jason Adams in Bag of Suck, I remember he had a good looking no-comply.

>>224162
i would give myself the nastiest shinner ever if i tried this

>>224162
>>224163
very cool. i like the arm thing, you seem very relaxed on your board and with the whole trick execution, and that’s a good sign of a skater skills. don’t overthink about it.

>>224162
Good shtuff there, good shtuff.

got me pumped to skate

t-th-thanks anons, those were some reassuring comments
>>224170
Yeah, it’s part of learning that trick. You get used to it after a while, just make sure you practice those with some thick pants and it’s not that bad. The worst part of the trick is the final spin/landing, falled onto my chest hard to the ground a couple of times. The biggest “catch” to skateboarding safety is learning how to fall before learning how to land the tricks you’re practicing.

>>224218
The resemblance is uncanny.

>be building shit at the diy with a couple of other guys
>group of like 10 cool guys just standing around watching

i know that i shouldn't expect people to just start working when they are there to skate but like cmon man

>>224218
so close to smashing his face at the end there. before the rail guy. good thing he didnt though, shit would have sucked.

How much should I sell my board for 60$? Or should I focus it or give it to a grom

I don't use this stupid shit anymore

Jumping around like a fucking retard

>>224271
That shit looks almost new

God skateboarding is so gay I don't know how people continue to skate after 30 without feeling like a massive loser

Feel like a pedo shit at the skatepark after 30

Really it's like getting sober and realizing you only listened to trap music for 3 years straight and realizing what a massive faggot you were

But I still love it

>>224272
It pretty much is I bought it last year thinking I'm gonna keep skating after getting sober but nah I can only skate when I'm fucked up

If a anon posts his address in this thread I might send it

>>224273
hanging out at the skatepark is gay as fuck this summer i really want to find a secluded spot to build a lil diy ledge and manny pad for just my friends and i. no tweakers, zoomers or cool guys allowed.

Several other chill 30+ year olds who go to my park, albeit not always the most consistent. Good vibes there overall most nights, I'm grateful.

>>224273

this is what makes you a loser

Based big bro. Get filtered idiorts.

property owners showed up at the diy with the sheriff and told some kids they're going to knock it all down. but we are pouring a big ramp tomorrow. will keep you guys posted. the diy posting may have to end soon.

Yyyyyes, you should. You're standing around waiting for the spot to be built? Fuck outta here. You're banned. People need to take some responsifuckingbility. You'll be doing them a favour.

NANI!?

i am certain kairi netsuke got an imperial japan pro board, does anyone else remember this bc it looks like its been scrubbed off IG

i saw someone predict that this would happen aswell lmao

DIY updates. Here is the corner we poured a couple weekends ago with pool coping and graffiti already, really tight and steep, very difficult to skate, i never posted photos of the finished product

>>224435
and this is the corner we poured yesterday, i helped do the formwork and rebar and stacked the concrete then the pros came and finished it

>>224436
another pic of the corner, you can see all the small stuff i did at the top which just gets used as seating when it gets crowded haha but idgaf

>>224436
look at that little fella builder

>>224459
Don't disrespect the foreman

>open up Session
>immediately start a trick battle with the very first obstacle it spawns me in front of
Damn near impossible for me to not do this.

>>224488
checked but i don't care about your dumb video games nerd, go out and skate irl

>>224513
I do both, niggerlips.

I can't decide

I've come to the conclusion that no one actually knows how to measure wheelbase on a board.
With the exception of one Snake Farm and one Toy Machine board I got last year that were both Clutch O5 shapes and actually measured 14" between the inner truck holes, every other board I've gotten from Toy Machine/Foundation/Habitat (which includes boards from both PS Stix/BBS) that had 14" or even 14.25" listed as the WB were actually 13.75 to 13.88".

Rambling, but it's kind of annoying.

>>224549
keep it solid black
>>224570
I don't think I've ever measured it myself. I just look for a standard 14.25 or whatever on an 8.25 - 8.38 width.

Skateboarding dead there's no cool pros anymore just little dirtballs, I mean if you were cool I doubt you'd take like 1000 a month to be pro so not worth it so you just get scraggly little nibbas

It's crazy lurking slap now and seeing how many people got banned. Even people who had like 3000+ posts. The jannies there are insane

>>224628
I hope they eventually go offline, probably no time soon though. Their site culture is everything I don't want in skating.

>>224549

>>224570
I think polar 8.5 is the only board I've had that I can recall was mislabeled, and I have a lot. You are measuring to the center right? or inside on one to outside of the other which is slightly easier to read

https://youtu.be/LQbXwLaJJF8

>>224570
Sometimes I wonder if I made an effort, would I find a deck with a proper length AND width?

>>224644
I measure between the inside of both holes, which is how I think it should be measured but I think you're right that some shops measure differently. If I measure from the inside of one to the outside of the other, that adds about .25" which then lands correctly on 14".
Just seems to be some disagreement I guess with how they're measuring.

Ok yeah, measuring from the center of both inside holes instead of the inner edge on each also adds .25" and then lands correctly at 14". Which is probably the right way to measure it, that's how wheelbase is measured on a car.
I heard someone on Youtube some time ago measure it the previous way I mentioned, and I think I clung onto that too much. Still seems to be some variance on how woodshops choose to measure it, but the center of each seems more consistent.

Done with my autistic rambling for now. Just trying to figure out what actually works for me and what I like riding.

Waiting for you to follow through

Anyone have recs for a good cruiser wheel? I got an 8.5 with thunder trucks that I ride around my campus, the problem is that there's a lotta bricks and a few parts with big sidewalk gaps

I've alternated between 60mm 80a longboard style wheels and 55mm 78a ricta clouds, but I think the optimal would be something in between the two, cuz the 55s still sometimes get caught on stuff

I was thinking about getting the 60mm 84a shark wheels, gimmicky yeah but they would be a bit lighter and I might even be able to pull off powerslides with them but not sure
