Are longboards /fa/?
Skater style thread i guess

>> No.7987145

i hate the fact that Street Skaters/vert skaters or "Real" skaters feel the need to discriminate against other skaters for being a pose just because they're not on a deck designed for tricks.

I skated street for 3 years, and now ride a longboard because i enjoy cruising about and bombing hills without feeling every bone in my body vibrate. It's normally the kids who are shit as skating who decide to call longboarders/penny boarders shit. Grow the fuck up.

If you are skating for pure enjoyment and not because you want to look cool or a certain way, then it doesn't fucking matter what you ride.

If you have fun hitting rails and bowls, then good for you, do that and enjoy it and not give a fuck about anyone else. If you have fun cruising around the streets on a smooth, easy ride, then the same thing applies. Who cares?

My opinions (facts)

Trick skating is GOAT even if you can't do it you can at least admit its crazier and you can still do everything a longboard can do other than ride over a field of pebbles.

Longboards are okay if you don't give a shit. That's it. If you take it anywhere past that like sliding gloves, helmets, suits, and calling yourself a skater you're a faggot.

Same rules apply for short boards.

Penny/nickel/anything plastic, neon, etc youre a faggot, if it was a gift your mom thinks you're a faggot and is laughing at you.

As for pushing/stance fuck it.

I go to Arizona State. Everyone longboards around campus. Two of my friends longboarded for years for fun, so I asked for their opinion. Ended up getting my own to get around campus quicker.

Landyachtz drop carve with kick tail (given by friend), Paris trucks, Bones Reds, and softest Orangatang In Heat wheels. I have no idea what I'm doing but it's better than the 90%+ of the boards on campus that are Sector 9.

Yeah I would like to see one of you fags ride your street board 5 miles a day. There is literally no reason to ride one for transportation purposes.

Also, people who ride street boards around campus are the most obnoxious cunts. They are literally half as fast as longboarders (this is a problem in the sanctioned skateboard lane) and sound like a jet taking off when they ride by a room with an open window

Yes, they both have their purposes.

Just got back out there this weekend on my board. Started last year around this time too, it's so sick getting back into. I can pretty much still guarantee ollie while moving, I just have to find some good curbs to practice going up something.

>tfw not falling and flinging the board into the street anymore

also meant to ask real people but my wheels are damn as hell loud. I thought it was because they are new but maybe they are too hard? I want something a bit quieter and softer right? I'm pretty much just street skating/flatground.

>Abec 7 Bearings that came with the board when I bought it (I hardly use it at all)
