/fa/ - Fashion

>>9670286
>skating style
Does this even exist? I don't think I know anyone who has their style defined by skating, if anything I see all kinds of people skateboarding with different styles. Really the only thing that is common is the choice of footwear.

>>9670313
this
op's photo is a perfect example of that

skate culture has defined the fashion of the past 20 years

skate culture/fashion is effay and will always be effay because it encompasses what it means to fashionable which is to where sick fits without giving a fuck about fashion accompanied by the attitude of not giving a fuck about what society thinks or wants

skate or die

Hahaha supreme. Fags.

>>9670357
what's wrong with supreme ?

>>9670364
Only high schoolers wear Suprememe.

>>9670364

I used to be able to stroll into supreme on a thursday and get whatever the fuck I wanted and leave. Now there's a lineup down the entire block at midnight every goddamn week with little shithead teens. The workers at supreme used to be cool too, now they're no better than any hypefag 13 year old wanting to buy a fucking shirt with Neil Young on it so they can keep it deadstock for 2 years in hopes of buying a box logo hoodie to impress their shithead friends...and the cycle continues

>>9670286
Skating isn't effay, skating is fashionable, there's a huge fucking difference because this board is full of skelefags who are too weak to push a skateboard or lift a kilo weight

>>9670388
nice dubs, so do you thing that hypebeasts, and re-sellers have permanently ruined the brand?

>>9670417
Yes

>>9670412
i concur

>>9670412
>>9670467
Skating is meant for skinny people

>>9670477
"meant"
fuck out of here with that shit dog

>>9670286

those people look cool tho

supreme is p nice too not gonna lie

they look effortlessly pretty

>>9670486

Skating is effay because skating doesn't care about fashion. All these people wearing designer shit look good to a selection of the population, but if you are confident and wear things that suit you , you will always look good.

>>9670506
this

personal style > trendy designer shit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3a_AtO9Y8VQ

>>9670495
that pretty much sums it up

>>9670560

this post oops >>9670506

>>9670417
I agree with >>9670388
I went to NY at the beginning of march and went to supreme to just look around, all the people there were kids wearing foamposites, sk8 hi's and everything else supreme, none of it even matched they all just seemed to buy the stuff because of the label. I just got one thing and left, I like the quality of the shirt and kind fo felt like visiting supreme while I was in NY was necessary, but I dont plan on ever going back there. Bad vibes all around.

>>9670286
almost allt the skaters i see think theyre fa just because they have their shirt tucked in, wear huf and supreme, or is wearing skinny or baggy dickies

final verdict: smh

>>9670388
>being this mad about a clothing line

Skaters are sad. I fad from the 80's that died for most but not these tinkertwats.

It's like seeing a 30 year old playing pogs, feeding his Tamagatchi, or collecting beanie babies.

>>9670286
>Is skating style effay?

Skating is the ultimate plebsport. How on earth could skating style ever be effay?

Rowing is effay, Fencing is effay, Polo is effay, even Basketball and Boxing are somewhat effay.

Skating clearly isn't, nor ever will be.

>>9672998
people still like metal right?
once that stuff came out all the teens loved it and their parents hated it

this is kinda like skating
all the teens and kids grow up loving it until their adults. basically, people have their own opinions.

>>9672999
pls elaborate! how is it not fa?
skateboarding is a lot about form and what looks good. if u see someone land a hard (or creative) trick or at least land it with a sense of ease or (maybe) anger, its all about being creative and what looks cool.

for ex: in basketball, magic johnson did some crazy passes that people call it a form of art. something simple: a pas. but once magic did some crazy plays with his passes, people started to praise him for being so talented

now my connection to skating: if someone does a simple ollie but does it onto a wall of some sort or maybe into a slide. people (not everyone) will give the skater some props for having some courage to actually do an ollie but thinking of their own way of how they will execute it to make it a sicc tricc

I HATE MY DADDY!!!!!!!!!!

>>9670286
Damnit I wish everyone was well dressed, this photo makes me so happy, even that old dude has sharp clothes.

>>9670286
what will be the new skating trend of 2k15?
(clothing wise of course lel)

b

>>9673163
normcore

>>9673163
More sporty clothing
Adidas
Sorta 80s football casual inspired fits, polos, normal rise blue jeans medium length hair that you just let sit naturally.

>>9673163
overalls and bianca chandon

>>9670417
hypebeast in general has ruined a lot of things in streetwear. Why couldn't they just stick to shoes and ruin just this part.

>>9670286
no

>you will never meet sean pablo

>>9673409
w2c my first /fa/ skateboard

>>9673409
overrated imo
sage is better. more fa and better at skating imo tho

>>9673423
mostly all the fa brands are online (my local shop usually doesnt have any fa stuff and all the plebs who think theyre hot shit go there kek)

http://www.skatewarehouse.com/Palace_Skateboard_Decks/catpage-DKPALACE.html
i think palace is the most fa skating brand
also, assuming that youre buying a complete, cop here cuz if u spend over 75 its free shipping and they usually ship fast so yea good luck bud

>>9673462
other alternatives to palace?

>>9673468
polar, herion, welcome (these are shaped like like boards from the 80s), this one girl deck posted below, magenta (p darn fa), and hook ups if ur into anime

http://www.skatewarehouse.com/Girl_Koston_Skull_Of_Fame_Deck/descpage-GIBEKSFDK.html

>>9673468
also, fucking awesome is fa
well, the skaters on the team are. the boards seem so try-hard to b edgy

>>9673477
thank you

>>9670560
Even though I usually think skateboarding style is pretty cancerous, that calf high socks, ripped khaki shorts and a long sleeve combo is pretty dope

>>9673483
lol youre welcome

http://www.skatewarehouse.com/Hopps_Skateboard_Decks/catpage-DKHOPPS.html
i also think these are sick too lel

>>9673485
>http://www.skatewarehouse.com/Hopps_Skateboard_Decks/catpage-DKHOPPS.html
p cool i just hate the logo branding when it's not done subtle or gently like most other ones

>>9673490
The graphic really matters fuck all
I mean it's nice to choose a one that you like and all but it's going to be a blurry mess in 2 weeks max so it hardly matters.
One of my favorite deck "graphics" was just basically a black blank deck.

>>9673571
Definitely won't be a blurry mess if you're just starting out.
Boards last half a year when you're just rolling around popping ollies and shuvits.
I think it's kinda important to love your first graphic
I still remember mine, it was a Chocolate board and it was rad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xhuq9sSsvV4
Just watch.

>>9673458
plus he doesn't look like a girl

5boro has /fa/ designs, i really liked this series and the new airplanes one

>>9670286
YESSS

>>9673423
I'm riding a white dipped blank right now, with a drawling and stickers on it, other /fa/ brands would be bianca chandon, fucking awesome, hookups, 5boro, really most brands, excluding element and zero

>>9670357
Nah dont be closed minded man

>>9672940
Don't be closed minded, just because it doesn't cost over a hundred doesnt mean it aint good. Tucking in shirts is dope. Verdict: youre a cunt

>>9672999
>Skaters are sad. I fad from the 80's that died for most but not these tinkertwats.


Your stupidity pains me

What does everybody think about Fourstar? they have just mainly basics but they have some /fa/ skaters like the Gonz and Puig

>>9673462
lol palace is so dead man. Speaking from Uk

I don't skate but I work at my local Vans store and Animal Chin comes in sometimes.

>>9674548
Congrats! You're the reason local skate shops go out of business!

>skating to look cool
fuck-ing plebs

>>9670388
Dubs don't lie

Most of the shit posted on this board is not "fashionable".

As per the definition being fashionable is staying up to date with current trends. So those hypebeasts are theoretically more fashionable than any of you.

If you really wanna be on point, get yourself those extremely long t-shirts, stacked jeans and some nigger tier high tops in bright colours. Everything but the shoes is obviously black, but you guys have that covered already.

"Skate-style" is a style and it's one of many cool styles, but fashionable? Far from it. Back in the 80-90s maybe.

Just take inspiration, develop your own style and wear whatever the fuck you want.

Is 20 too hold to learn to skate. I'm not self-conscious, but I am worried about hurting myself. Im not trying to learn tech shit, just cruise around and maybe an ollie or two.

>>9676288

>>9676291

>>9676298

the only effay decks

>anything supreme really

>not having this?

I'm 18 years old and never learned how to skate (I do play ice hockey if that counts, hue) is it too late for me to git gud by my early 20s?

>>9676319
>Anime skateboard
I saw some skateboard posted here with an anime girl on it and I really liked it for some reason but forgot to save it and couldn't find the image when I tried to look for it on google. Anyone happen to know what I might be talking about?

>>9676324
see>>9676233

>>9676324
Try looking for hook ups skate broads on google. may be one of them

>>9676319
>>9676289
most definitely not, i picked up skateboarding about 6 months ago(i'm 19) all by myself,give it a go and see if you enjoy it.
The thing you guys will find out about skating if you pick it up is that ,skateboarding alone, without any tricks, just pushing and hill bombing ALONE are immensely fun and calming.
hope you guys pick it up and have fun with it, dont try to be good jus have fun bb xoxo : ^)
oh and dont forget to watch them full lenght videos

>>9676334
oops didnt meant to>>9676319
was talkin wit
>>9676320
sorry

>>9676319
possibly this bronze56k deck

>>9676334
how much would a full decent set-up cost me?

>>9676289
i'm 21 and i still skate every where because my car broke. But i don't skate with long boards or penny broads, That's for hipster art students who don't know how to go over a small crack in the pavement

>>9676354
if you aren't worried about getting a pro/team deck, getting a blank you could probably stay around $100

>>9676354
>>9676365
he could get it for less.
A complete could go for 60$
go on ebay and look for tgm skate boards. I get mine from there when i wanna be cheap.

>>9676355
lol, you're fucking great

>>9676372
>>9676365 (me)
You're right, I personally skate $20 blanks, its really not worth the extra money unless you have the money to blow and really are committed to helping a particular brand out

>>9676233
>>9676344
Yes, that's it. Is this for sale anywhere?
>N-not that I'm going to buy it.

high school and tumblr have honestly killed skate culture

>>9676437
thanks HIGHSCHOOL

>>9676430
fuck i was just about to tell him where to get it, but it must have sold our really recent

Skating is cool.
Being secure with yourself and having style is fashionable and cool.
Being cool is always fashionable.
"Effay" and the whole attitude behind it is actually borderline autistic.

Food for thought.

>>9676446
i don't think effay is as well defined as you think it is

CHECK THESE TOTALLY RADICAL SNOOP DOGG SEELYS DUUUDE

THEY'RE MADE OF HEMP DUUUDE

I stopped skating in grade 10 because my friend who got me into it moved away, now I'm almost 20 and I'm too scared to get back into it because people will judge me

>>9676458
bbeing self concious is EXTREMELLY unfa

>>9676459
I know, but being aware of it hasn't helped me get over it. I'm probably shit now, anyways.

>>9676462
I started 2 years ago when i was 22 and the first couple times were a lot of me jumping on and off due to my embaresement. but you soon get over it as you get caught up in how much fun youre having and forget about everybody else.

>>9676462
dude i picked up skating six months ago(i'm >>9676334 btw) and i cant even ollie properly...
just go out and skate for a bit k? :^) hav fun

I stopped skating when I was 15 because I herniated 2 discs in my spine and permanently damaged my coccyx.

I hate this.

>>9676495
I'm sorry dude

>>9670477
pfffffft

>>9674493
5boro is great

>>9670286
Dude skating is the stylish part of skating. If you dress like you skate and don't, you look like a douche. Plus, there's barely a "skate" style. Judging by this photo, I think you're just trying to ask if Supreme is effay, which yes, it is

>>9670382
What's wrong with being in high school?

>>9676674
when you graduate you'll see

>>9673458
but sean is so dreamy and likes philosophy :(

>>9676298
hopps makes some dope shit
I have a homie in sf that sells some of their stuff
their hats are pretty neat too

>>9676676
good point my friend

>>9676668
>if you dress like you skate and don't youre a douche
why's that. is wearing sneakers but not running douchey?
Is wearing jordans or AF1's but not balling douchey?
Is wearing a hoodie but not working out douchey?

Where do you draw the line?

>>9676731
The Jordans example was not the best to choose for your argument

>>9676731
not him but I skate, but i never saw the point in the classical skater look. I specifically don't wear skinny jeans because i skate but thats about as far as it goes

>>9676731
I didn't mean it like that, man. It's more like pretending you're a "skater" and copping that style while not adhering to the tenants of the lifestyle. You do make a good point (except for the jordans example), but what I was trying to say was more along the lines of wearing orange robes and not being a buddhist monk, you know what I mean? Obviously not that serious, but it's still just being a fake person and pretending you're someone that you are not.

>>9676739
>>9676756
Are Jordan's not basketball shoes?

>>9676756
First, I get your point, and I agree that there are people that clearly want to be skaters, but don't want to skate. My problem is that "skate style" isnt well defined. Further, skate style has been influencing normal style for years. so it's hard to distinguish between what's a wanna-be skater and what's a guy wearing a cuffed toque and skinny jeans, because thats in atm.

>>9673409
not even joking
met him yesterday at south pas skatepark(in LA)
whole supreme team was there filming with strobeck
they were all dicks except for kevin bradley
sage, sean pablo, Mackey, bradley, nakel smith, the kid with the shaved hair, and a few other heads.
they do rip thro....

when ever i skate i either wear raws if its cold or a pair of black beater jeans. the beaters are starting to get distressed in the knees from slamming and is starting to look p tight. as for shoes i wear busenitz covered in many a layer of shoe goo. looks haggard af but whatever

>>9673653
Yea I back this
Except my first board wasn't very nice at all cuz I was p shy with the guy setting up my board

Once he told me about deck sizes I just played along with him cuz he knew more way more than I did
My deck said girl in wooden letters kek

>>9674493
Shit those R awesome
Now planning to cop soon

>>9676779
None of the new Jordan's would last a day if you use them for playing a real game of basketball.

Skate style is one of the main foundations for the current streetwear or casual wear of today. OP's pic is a great example of the skate style and how it transcends all races and ages to let people have a great time.

>tfw too much of a pussy to do an ollie while moving

>>9674498
i pray every night that gosha decides that he randomly want to deck me out if his stuff from head to toe (hat, shirt, hoodie, sweats, socks, vans collab, and an unreleased pair of gosha underwear that only I own)

>>9677223
I just wanna wake up and try to scratch my head only to feel the brim of one of his hats already placed on top of it :(

Tho I'd have to get used to all the weird Russian/Ukrainian people on my campus giving me stares.

>>9676495
I know that feel. I fucked up my back pretty bad skating. Now any type of strain or extended use of my back hurts like a motherfucker and I have to hear "you're too young to be having back problems" every fucking time.

>>9676319
>>9676329
wow that's fucking crazy. I used to jerk off to pictures of there boards when I was a kid

>>9676458
>>9676477
>>9676479
I feel like getting back into skating now in my mid 20s is a waste of time. I'll never be as good as I used to and I can't afford to fuck my body up like when I was a teen either. Maybe if I had some kind of commute to skate on but I dont.

>>9677901
dont force urself to skate
if u have time and u want to exercise do it

dont go overboard and mess up and try to do big drop offs or something
be careful with ur body if ur gonna go back to skating

>>9676278

Bronze a shit, that's just straight up ripoff Hook Ups decks, their first movie was decent though, the newer one was pretty disappointing.

>>9677901
same here. still go out and ride around for fun every once and a while but not the same without a group of people like when I was younger

i've always wanted to get into skating and never have. this thread has brought back those feels. what wheels/trucks/bearings would u guys recommend for a newbie?

>>9678098
this bitch doesn't deserve to be wearing this swimsuit

>>9678113
just randomly pulled an image out of my huge folder of cute grils

>>9673462
>mfw skatewarehouse IS my local shop

>>9678098
>what wheels/trucks/bearings would u guys recommend for a newbie?
Doesn't really matter that much since you are a newbie
Bones Reds definitely for bearings, they are cheap and great, I use them all the time and I've skated 5 years or so. Indies/Thunder His/Theeves for trucks, Indies probably have the best turning symmetry but Theeves come with Bones bushings which are GOAT
Wheels kinda depend, you can get totally fine ones for like 20 bucks, but you might want to get wheels that are bit softer at first, something like 95 duro or so, you don't get much out of 99-101 duro wheels as a beginner and they might be bit uncomfortable.
Hit up skateboarding thread on /asp/ie board they have some beginner info in the OP and they can help with any further questions.

>>9678137
thank u <3

>>9678032
chaci skating in foams was pretty funny tho

>>9676881
Dude! kevin bradley is the man, his cliche part was so sick

>>9677804

Dylan rieder

Awntuan dixon

>>9680283
All bakerboys dist boards are incredible
Also Greco's hammers boards are the best wood you can buy

Hammers, hookups, passport are more effay than bronze you faggots

Greco is one of the g.o.a.t

honestly if you just want to get into skateboarding now, be prepared to be humiliated for years considering it will take at least 3 years to actually look good on a skateboard

have fun trying to learn a kickflip

growing up skateboarding >>>>

>>9680283
it literally doesn't matter what board you use. as long as its not a shitty blank then you will be fine. also, don't buy into the gimmicky "board technology". just find a "pro" solid maple board that its 7.75 or 8 depending on your preference.

>>9680326
Learning to snowboard isn't humiliating, so why is it different when skateboarding?

>>9680326
>it will take at least 3 years to actually look good on a skateboard

>you will not look comfortable on the board
>you will stand like a fucking idiot while riding (like a upside down T)
>lots of other reasons i can't come up with from the top of my head

>>9680440
I could name many reasons why most people look silly when learning to ski/snowabord, but they arent humiliating themselves.

>>9680445
>but they arent humiliating themselves
keep believing that

>>9680400
do you think you will find your style over night?

plenty of kids can learn how to do basic tricks and might even be pretty technical in a year or so, but it will still look ugly as fuck

style takes time

a beautiful ollie will always look better than a sloppy laserflip or w/e

the entire la no comply slappy grind boneless "stupid trick" jason dill/gonz movement is a response to the robotic nyjah huston / ryan sheckler / chaz street league 16 stair scene that skateboarding put the spot light on for a while

ps sorry i haven't slept for a long time i know my writing is sloppy ~.~ u get the point though

>>9680452
>anytime someone is learning something, they are embaressing themselves
wow you sound fun

>>9680452
who cares, the only "people" who would see are skaters and they're hardly human beings.

not all local shops are good. in ontario, canada my shop sells a board for over $100 canada bux fucking ridiculous

8.25 might be a little wide. try an 8?

also, buy a pair of independant trucks. a bit more pricey, but you won't have to buy another pair of trucks for a long time.

5boro by far the most effay skate company

>>9676437
what was it before them, and how did they affect it?

>>9681711
It didn't because those worlds of skateboarding don't really interact with any important stuff, kid is just mad be cause hipster tumblr girls reblog photos of people mongo pushing and he probably got called a fag by a skater at his highschool.

i used to skate before and could barely do a kick flip

then stopped

i wanna get back to it but i'm 22 now; is there any hope for me? i look very young tho so i can pretend to be a teenager practicing i guess

i shouldn't g-give a fuck r-right

>>9684326
Yeah, don't give a fuck and you'll be fine. Summer is coming up so pull out the shorts for the legs you'll get from pushing around all day.

Skaters with best style? I'll start,

Neen Williams
Mark suciu
Antwuan
Blake carpenter
Bryan Herman
Brandon westgate

Antwuan was the steeziest skater of all time though

>>9680474
Woah man what local shop do you go to? btl, so hip (and if you want to count adrift) all have decent prices for boards

>>9678098
I never got so much pussy as when I was a "skater"

>>9677206
iktf

>>9680659
sorry, late response. the wheels are fine, they don't really matter too much. bones are looked at as the best wheel/bearing company though.

i'm not sure about the size of trucks. find some kind of chart or google it or something

>>9684543
i have always loved kostons style

billy marks is nice to look at as well. a lot of people hate his style.

personally i fucking hate chris coles style. fuck chris cole i bet he is a redditor
