If you're still in high school it's fine, but once you've graduated, given that you're not a pro and get paid from it, then you need to let it go.. Pretty juvenile.

If you're in HS or college yeah, and if you're a professional I think so too, I think it's rad when >30 y/o dudes skate to work at their marketing jobs.

If you learn, learn how to do it properly. Don't fucking push mongo, learn how to ollie so that you're not stopping and picking up your board at every curb, learn to slide so you don't take out pedestrians on a hill.

Skate clothing is NOT /fa/ though. Don't wear it.
Branded tshirts, stupid DC hats, no. Vans are ok, especially because if you skate you're going to rip your shoes to shreds, so don't wear your fucking goofbaskets. But big puffy "skate shoes" are ugly AF.

If youre trying to get into skating you probably shouldn't have posted in /fa/. There's a lot, I mean a fucking lot, to know when it comes to skating even if you're just buying a board to get around. Also, 95% of skate clothing is not /fa/ due to mall rats (pls no Supreme, Diamond Supply Co etc.)

[Anonymous No.9007424]

long time skatefag here

My advice? Any skateshop will sell you alright shit. You're a beginner so having crazy impact padded plan B boards and expensive as fuck hardware n shit isn't going to help you. Just pick a deck that has a graphic you like (size 8 or minimum), some basic trucks/wheels and swiss reds bearings. Shouldn't cost you a lot so invest in some vans or really low profile skateshoes. I skate vans and sometimes converse myself.

Also you're never too old to start skating. I go to giant skateparks all the time and there are people of all ages skating all the time.

get an actual skateboard, go to somewhere that's not a zumies/west49 type store if that's possible, a local skateshop is best.

Look/ask for boards that fit your riding style, I prefer light, low ply, narrow 32 etc etc etc, if you don't know that yet, maybe look into it a bit. Will help to not sound like a newfag when you get to the counter.

skating is literally the most pleb thing you can possible do

It's not even cool, useful or owing to a real pedigree like cycling. It's just a pathetic literal meme that took off because of marketting. All skaters are actively drinking the koolaid on a daily basis.

Skate parks are just hangouts for jobless losers, drug addicts and children with shit parents. All skaters look dumb 100% of the time and any effort to convince yourself otherwise is a pathetic exercise in futility.

Even professional skaters don't look cool doing it, it's such a pathetic medium that even the most skillful practice just looks like boring rubbish.

Do something useful with your life.

Did skateboarders pick on you in high school? Are you angry that every car that passes you hates you when you're on you're bike blocking traffic like a moron? Skateboarding is rad, surfing is rad....both have great sub-cultures and both have always been anti-jock and activities for outcasts to do. These were people who could belong to someone larger then themselves that they loved. But you know, I'm not European...so maybe that's why I don't care about watching French men ride bikes through the alps. Compare that to someone surfing a 100 foot wave or ollieing a 25 stair.

At various skateparks i've been a regular at i've seen such a variety of fashion. There was a whole crew at one of (probably) high school drop outs, and they all had such unique fits.

Skateboarding is so much fun, and skateboarding culture is great (where i live anyway, not USA). Literally the only thing I like in the town I currently live in is the skate scene. Every skater here is so friendly and fun. If you think skateboarding is juvenile, I feel sorry for you. One of the best things i've ever been involved with.

It was an outlaw activity for the first 25-30 or so years. It went through a dark age where barely anyone still did it except the people who loved it, i.e peralta, mullen, hawk, duane peters. That's why it appeals to me. Now it's an accepted activity and everyone at my university seems to be holding a skateboard the wrong way and walking with it everywhere. Kills me that something I've grown up loving has turned into a mainstream street league circle jerk of money. Duane Peters, Jay Adams....Gator, all the fuck ups will always be the people I look up to and my heroes, so I don't agree about skate culture being shit. Modern aspects for sure, but as a whole it's perfect. It's the same as punk rock, will always have its ups and its downs

Nigger, YOU associate that with skating maybe, but being a piece of shit is not representative of skateboarding as a whole. Many skateboarders are straightedge and/or hate the faggots that make skaters look bad by being vandals and assholes, and I'm one of them. Skate culture nowadays is what you want to see really, from Tumblrs pov, it's this clean thing that's about the brands and looking cool it seems, from your pov, it's a thug thing, from some kids I know, it's strictly a punk thing with punk roots strictly for the outcasts and is a raw, dirty thing only the most hardcore of people can do, and for me it's just a sick sport that requires determination and perseverance. Just saying, skate culture is open to interpretation, and not one solid thing that is only that.

That's kinda funny cause I only skate Emerica's or Vans nowadays, if I can find nice pair of Vans from sales or something I get them because I have yet to find shoes with as nice boardfeel as Vans that last as long, I had some Fallens once but those fell apart even faster than Vans.
But usually I opt for Emericas because so far I've really liked skating in them and they are more durable than Vans. The Vans Stage4s were god send, they were "wafflecup" which was just some marketing term of Vans for cupsole/vulc hybrid construction, it didn't compromise the board feel but lasted twice as long as regular Vans pair.
I think the Crockett Pros also have wafflecup soles, I've been trying to find a pair from sales.

Are you mad that you aren't pulling girls with your DC t-shirt anon? Dylan is the best thing that's happened to post 2010 skateboarding. People were getting too stuck up trying technical shit, and forgot everything about style until he came about - He basically saved skateboarding from a unaesthetic hell. He's the sole reason this thread even excists, and I can tell you 100% that skateboarding would've gone through it's 90'es phase again if he hadn't saved us. Seriosly, show him some fucking respect, kid.

it really isn't
the skateboard itself isnt juvenile - a big part of skating culture is tho

walking around with snapbacks and huge t shirts baggy pants huge shoes etc is juvenile
getting hyped over someone doing some huge variation down a huge number of stairs or whatever is juvenile
basically taking it super seriously is juvenile

it's good when you're just having fun and wanting to always improve yourself and your style. landing difficult shit and doing long lines feels good. skating street doing stupid shit like no complies and wallrides is fun because it's innovative.

i think it is. i grew up skating and got decent but all my skater friends either stopped skating or i distanced myself from them. i skate on the weekends still when i have nothing to do, so it's just a hobby for me; i'll just put headphones in and skate around my local park. i def don't dress fa while skating though because i assume i'll fuck up my clothes from falling and stuff, so im normally just wearing shorts, janoskis, and a tee shirt. but i'd never ever ever wear those things anywhere else. also i dont use it to get around, it's really inconvenient even when you can cruise without any struggle. buy a bike it's much easier

[Anonymous No.9028243]

skateboarding is really cool and it brings out unique styles and your own personality will show through the way you skate.

But i would bet good money that anyone here who picked up a board would give up really quickly. Skating is really difficult muscle memory based shit , you learn when you are a young kid to do basic stuff.

not being 22 and falling off trying to push down the street.

If you live in a nice posh area then i guess its okay no ones going to make fun of you..

It's really intense physically when you start off. You will be sweating and your legs will be buckling from tiredness. Especially if you arent in perfect shape.

Balancing is really difficult too.

Pros make it look easy, but its not. Its the sort of shit you start off doing when you are 9, and then you can skate well when you are 20.

Fuck starting at 18+ , in 95% of cases its just not going to get you anywhere or be very fun. Mainly because of where you live, time, ego, and how stupid you will feel falling off constantly.

I dont think skating like any other sport will die anytime soon. Skating has ALWAYS been considered cool in some way , shape or form. Back we had tony hawks games, skate punk , etc... then we had nigger skating , odd future, supreme, skate fashion etc etc

Personally i think skating will be reinvented soon by some really insane videos and editing. Just really gritty and insane style, less emphasis on fashion or hurr durr beautiful edits.

I also think the clothing associated with it will change.

all it takes is a willingness to push yourself physically and not be too afraid to fall. you are right tho that it takes time. i would advise anyone starting off to just ride your board as much as you can without trying too much maneuvers at first and really just familiarize yourself with being comfortable riding the board at a good speed.

Skatebaording fashion was quite big back in the early 00's. I remember every teenager was pretty much wearing skateboarding and snowboarding brands, often you found these clothes in the same sort of alternative sports shops that's why.

That's life man, it's all attrition. You can look for the next wave to ride before it stops being genuine, but you'll be chasing forever.

[Anonymous No.9036359]

>>9036346
I think chasing for the "genuine" skate culture is kinda lost effort. Just do your thing and get inspired by things you like, it feels like the "realest" skateboarder today is the guy who lives in a bumfuck nowhere and has made some shitty plywood ramps himself and doesn't even know about the culture, but does it because he likes it.

I haven't skated since I was like 12 (and was really terrible) but I've always loved street skate vids. They're so calming and pleasant.

>I'd suggest getting a longboard for transportation, not a skateboard.
Nah
Cruiser is the best for transportation, longboard is really good only for bombing hills at sanic speed. In urban environments cruisers have all the advantages of longboards plus better maneuvaribility and you can ollie. They also smaller which is goof if you carry it indoors/in a subway/bus/whatever.

Skating and fencing both are aesthetic
one you're edgy rebel artist person that a lot of people dislike and the other one you're fighting with fuxin swords!!! God tier lifestyles

[Anonymous No.9037890]

>>9037425
This is a good point, but as far as getting around its definitely cruiser> longboard>>>>> skateboard in my experience. I have a huge longboard and I can maneuver fine. Depends on your area though

you must have skated a lot then to develop your muscle memory. Your muscles had probably matured and grown so that helps too

>Tfw playing Skate 2 because I could never learn to skate...
I think I was too skinny and weak or something. Couldn't manage to ollie no matter how hard I tried and dropped trying to learn after 2 months.

Ollies are hardest and the first step towards skating,you have to try try and try,24/7,I had the same problem,then after 3 days of non stop trying I managed to pull off an ollie and nearly break my arm

No, you usually have a few of those after a good enough session.
