Tried it and fell on my ass.
Not doing that again, and plus it's only really for 15-18 year olds, at least in my head.
A 25 y/o skater is fucking dumb.

>>8118852

>projecting

>>8118805
It's really stupid until you get awesome, if you ever do get that good. Nothing more mind numbingly boring than watching some dude try to do some flatland trick 50 times.

>>8118807
Kook

I skateboard but I suck and I can only do ollies. almost anything can be /fa/ as long as you're good enough/look good at it.

>tfw petrified to do ollies while moving

I think it could be cool. Not something you can reliably wear effay clothes while doing, though.

Longboarding is stupid as fuck, though.

I used to skateboard in middle school. I was scared of traveling the city because I didn't want to try and ollie up curbs and end up clipping and falling. how embarrassing

>>8118800
Skateboarding is easy. Practice in shit clothe until you get good. For those too scared to Ollie cop a penny board.

tfw cant skate because injury
fuck you guys for awakening my thirst

Also, longboard or skateboard, wich on eis more /fa/? :^)

I seriously don't trust people who can't skate board

What type of a kid must have u been

>>8119018
just do it. It so fun to skate some where and ollie a curb.

>>8122709

It's not /fa/ it's fuccboi-tier as fuck.

I gave up that shit when I was 16.

This thread just proves /fa/ is the most underaged board on 4chan

i was too tall to skateboard by the time it became popular

>>8122776
>too tall
what

>>8118800
>tfw learned to 180 today

>>8122789
i had a growth spurt to like 6' when i was 14 in the 90s when skateboarding got mainstream. my center of gravity was too high to skateboard.

>>8122820
I see people that tall skateboard all the time. Everyone has balance problems when learning, are you sure you weren't just blaming your height?

>>8118800
>pushing mongo

not even once

why don't you get a job?

skateboarding for /fa/shion purposes is literally the scummiest thing you can do, you'll look like a fucking poser and just looks plain retarded.

>>8122820
>>8122776

>>8122876
this, don't show yourself in public until you can atleast land a ollie properly

>>8122845
but anon, they're pushing regular...

she's not even pushing mongo you retarded faggot

>>8122845

she's pushing regular you twat

Just over exagerate your kicks. I do that and I go smooth a a nigga in a tub of lard

teach me to skateboard plox

>>8122820
I was over 6' when I started, 6'5 now and still take the board out for a couple of tricks every now and then

>>8123061
Nice, what size deck do you run? I've been skating 8.5 but I'm wondering if it'll be worth it to go smaller. Everyone that sees it questions it.

> tfw all my nerdy gamer friends can hop on a board and skate without ever having done it before, but every time I try I fall on my ass.
> tfw cant even longboard

>>8123074
I actually don't remember what size it was. im assuming it's 7.75 or something...isn't 8.5 way too big to do anything on?

>>8122660
Slide front foot forward, it levels out the board after popping.

Longboarding is hipster tier unless you're into racing which then it's rad as fuck.

>>8119018
It's easier to do tricks while moving.

>>8123107
wait..really?
i've been too busy trying to get the non-moving tricks down so i wont grate my face along the ground if i fall while moving...
and this whole time it would have been easier to do it while moving?
>shit

>>8122876
Is exactly what this faggot is doing
>>8118803
>completely clean board without a single sign of wear

lmfao this thread man

stay off skateboards guys looooooool

>tfw want these but I really wouldn't use them since I use other ways of transportation
They aren't even effay , I know

>>8123118
Ye bruuh it's easier. Just don't be afraid of falling cus eventually it's going to happen anyways.
Tfw injuries are /fa/

And fuck longboards unless you race then your a fedora fag.

>>8123125

>>8123102
It seems like that way to everyone but it's been working fine for me. I think I'll size down to 8 or something next time but I'm afraid of having to get used to it.

>8123102
wider board master race, 8.4 rider here and 8.5 is absolutely not too big, downsizing is for pussies

http://www.frequency.com/video/dylan-rieder-alex-olson-supreme-cherry/158343498/-/5-1054513

>>8122660
You have to lift your right foot slightly as the tail hits the ground, that lets it "pop" into the air rather than slamming it downwards and going nowhere.

Then follow the generic advice: slide your left foot forward to level out, press down when both feet are above the trucks and land.

First step is the hard bit, I see nubs fall over all the time because they hit down without letting the board get any air.

I dunno about being /fa/, but skateboard is much more fun, there's so much more you can do with it

>>8118800
>some inked up skank with cheese curd abs
>/fa/

Most of the fucknuts see on those things are usually just slouching little douche bags. They look wormy as fuck and I don't know anyone over 15 that doesn't shit on them for it, usually laughing.

Not even being hyperbolic about that; someone calls them a d-bag and everyone else just giggles about it.

>>8123215
I've been reading up on how much more difficult it is to flip with a wider deck. I've been making kickflips work but I feel like I could make doubles work with a smaller deck. Plus learning grinds has been a bitch

waiting for Cherry to finish d/ling

is it any good?

>>8123289
u fucking stupid, of course its going to be terrible

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/D5S4HXnhiSU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

fuck you tacky bastards talking about skateboarding holy shit

>8123289
yes although it is pretty different from regular skate videos
>8123249
I find wide decks much easier to control, the only difficult stuuf I find is the more complex flip tricks like tre flips, p.s. the most /fa/ trick is a no comply

If you want to skate, skate
If you want to skate to be /fa/, it wont work

Skaters who love the sport make skating /fa/

why is a 360 flip called a tre now? when did it happen?

I skate to get around, used to be able to ollie and do a trick or two when I was 16 but a few years on I just have a bigger board with huge wheels for cruising. No one knows you can't do tricks if you're just cruising and its damn fun to cruise San Francisco hills

>>8122937

No, but I wish I could motor boat, gnome saiyan?

theres this balding dude that gets on my bus every so often and he always has his skateboard and his t-shirt inside out, idk he looks pretty rad

i used to skate when i was 11 and there was this big drop in at the skate park near me and my friends were too pussy for that shit so i did it, successful first time, second time i tried it i smacked the fuck out of my head (no helmet lel)and had an out of body shit. i was laughing and tearing up at the same time. and then me and my friends got bored of skating, so we just did crazy shit like take the trucks off the board and go down a hill with rocks with just the board.

>>8118800

Skateboarding is an immature sport. That's why only young kids do it, once you get older you realize how obnoxious it is and how un/fa/ the whole subculture is.

>>8126115
It's fun to kids cause their brains are still developing and they don't realize the dangers and how dumb they look. Anyone still skating past the age of 20-23 must have some kind of mental disorder

>>8126122

>>8126122
People who think fun has an age limit have a mental disorder. Anyone who would not skateboard at a risk of looking dumb is probably a schizophrenic type who is afraid to go outside. There are people different than you. Not everyone is concerned with living long enough to be a vegetable.

havent skated since i was 14 (19 now) and i work at a skate store. lately ive been checking out the boards at my shop and ive been wanting to skate. dont have friends that do it and i feel too old

>>8127203
first of all, how/why do you work at a skate shop without skating?

Second of all, how do you have no friends that skate, yet you work at a skate shop?

well its a skate board fashion store. Tillys to be specific. we just have a section for skateboards but we dont sell parts or anything. not really a skate shop so sorry for the confusion on my part. and no one there even skates anyways. we had one dude who skated and would sell the boards but he quit.

aren't decent skate decks like $100 and trucks like $20?

>>8118800
how is it when you slide the skate 180 degrees but jumping, just taping with the feet, always facing forward. saw it on a video once

>>8131539
40 for bearings and another 30 for wheels
adds up sieg

>>8133310
do you mean a pop shuvit?
you just jump and push down and back with your back foot. first trick I learnt to do on the move (before an ollie even)

Don't buy a used skateboard

Decks only last like a month max before the pop is gone

Buy a blank deck some decent trucks and a cheap pair of small wheels from a skateshop

>>8133310

not if you live in america... shit's like 100 for a basic name-brand deck and better-than-shit trucks, bearings and wheels.

http://www.skateamerica.com/skate/completes.html

just have pops take you down to a local shop and get a blank/shop deck and whatever's cheapest. it'll be like 60, and not great, but still miles above a walmart-tier world industries complete that costs the same.

not like you want to go fucking up nice/expensive gear while you're just starting out anyways.

wrong
skateboarding has always fluctuated in terms of popularity
ive been skating for a long time and so far this is what ive seen

>early 2000s - pretty popular, a lot of movies/tv shows feature skaters/skate culture
>mid 2000s - not cool at all, rise in popularity of prep culture made it a tacky thing to do
>late 2000s/early 10s - coming back into fashion. still not really cared about by most people
>present - very popular with 90s revival, except 'real' skateboarding is still the same as it has always been. most popular skating is longboarding or carrying around a pink dildo thing that's meant to be retro. skate shops staying afloat by selling longboards and penny boards

>>8125395
>2014
>still wearing super skinny jeans and not slim/baggy...

>>8131397
yes

>>8134316
trends in 'real' skateboarding that i have observed over the last decade

>early 2000s - baggy blue jeans, chunkier shoes, baggy t shirts (white). examples of fashion can be seen in alien workshop: photosynthesis
>mid 2000s - tight black jeans, black t shirts/hoodies, medium sized shoes. 'punk rock' aesthetic popular. e.g, zero: new blood. flip - sorry always shows this style gaining popularity while the previous baggier styles are still seen in action
>late 2000s/early 10s - generally a cleaner cut image popularized by brands such as girl, nike, diamond. L/S button up shirts, slim chinos, low profile shoes, snapback hats. example: shane oneil
present - baker/deathwish 'hesh' image still popular but losing popularity, most in style skate fashion at the moment is probably a revival of 'comfy' skate clothes eg dickies pants, and a baggy shirt/hoodie. skate shoes are usually medium sized or slim fitting. thrasher is in style regardless of being the worst skate magazine in the world and phelper is still an arrogant piece of shit

watch almost any skater and they will have followed these trends. skaters are fucking sheep and are generally very constricted by what's 'cool' and what's not in the skating world

>>8134359
looks like someone got picked on by skaters in high school...

>>8134365
i WAS a skater in high school, and still am a skater. i've just seen all my friends who are not in their mid 20s follow these trends as if they were still 16, and while i go though university and travel they have stayed in their hometowns smoking weed, partying like they are still teenagers and generally doing nothing with their lives

>>8131397
no, janoskis are good looking shoes and aren't exclusive to skateboarding like thrasher apparel would be.

>>8133365
I had a great day at the skate park yesterday as well. It was my first time at a park and I can't do any tricks and bruised my hip going down a ramp, but it was fun with friends.

I think I'll stick to keeping my wheels on the ground futurewise tho. I thnk it's plenty /fa to just enjoy the easy sensation of motion

>>8134359
Hit the nail on the fucking head.
it seems like styles are diverging a bit more now though but still adhering to pretty specific clothes ie wear dickies and general workwear type, shane o'neal type, more recently dylan rieder and austin Gillette type of typical /fa/ (flooding skinny pants and plain white shirts).
>Side note I've been seeing thrasher stuff becoming more popular among people who don't skate here in santa barbara

>demonstrates knowledge and types up an original, comprehensive, and accurate summary of the last 10 years of skate trends
>'must have gotten picked on lol'
you must be some limp dick faggot that took offense to what he said because i was impressed as fuck by that post

it was dead fucking accurate. i hate penny boards. those were a joke when i was a kid..

longboards are alright. lots of longboarders are fags though. i visit my cousin in cali and when we get tired of his local park we go for the hills instead. he has a longboard but he lets me use his old school cruiser (pic related) and i have grown extremely fond of it.. it makes traveling distance way easier but you can still ollie and shit, which makes it way more fun than a longboard to me. i am not that good at skateboarding but i hit a nice 3 stair on it once and i looked like fucking bart simpson or something with it at my feet in the air

>>8134528
yeah thanks to odd future and that crowd a lot of people seem to love thrasher

it's honestly such a shit magazine. 50% advertisements, 35% articles on some washed up junkies, 15% phelps bullshit

the skateboard mag is the best american skating magazine at the moment imo, but on the rare occasion that i find myself tolerant enough to flick through a skate mag it's gotta be the skateboard journal or slam (both australian)

>>8134595
Skateboarder Mag was the best before it got shut down. Id still put Thrasher above TSM though. Also fuck Transworld shits garbage

>>8129885

Stop psyching yourself out, really bro the worst that will happen is you'll get a few scrapes man

wait do you just mean like going places on a skateboard because thats easy as fuck

you must have no sense of balance at all

Any longboarders here? I used to skateboard the usual shit like 16 step banks and all that but fucked up my back. I like how people look cruising on a longboard more though...

>>8123118
its way easier to do tricks moving even at snails pace. You're being a pussy no one falls hard on flat land unless you have no balance somehow crack your head like you see on those videos.. The whole thing about skating is you get shit kicked but adrenaline kicks in and takes the pain away. Just get really comfy with ollies and kick flips and front shuvs

>>8134897
I used to longboard but now I'm learning to skate. Don't get one of those shitty hybrid boards. If you wanna do tricks go back to skating, otherwise get a downhill board or a cruiser. Keep in mind that they're no longer 'cool' and they're also usually quite heavy

Its becoming /fa/ now cause of all the normcore shit.

Kids in my area are all doing it, and they're like 16. When I thought it was cool and did it I was like 10

>>8134930
Well actually I've been longboarding for a few years. I've been messing around on skateboards since I was about 4 or 5 though so it wasn't hard to pick up. I do love fairly close to the beaches in Miami though. So I feel cool anyway, as dumb as it may sound.
