Skateboarding, skaters only!!! talk bout skaten here Options

[sm0kinm0nky]

alright i started skating a few years ago and then stopped for 2 years n i picked my board up the otherday and started olleing and ****.... i tried 2 do some kickflips and heelflips... but i couldnt get the board 2 rotate the entire way or catch it ... i searched online for all these tips but they dont help... so any skaters out there please help me out

[musixx_DJ]

Tips Arent gonna Help it would only guide you ...that happened to me a couple of months ago all u gotta do is keep on practicing angd you'll get it right....what kinda board u got n e ways?

[sm0kinm0nky]

some shitty board i got 4 my bday... but im saving money 2 get a worldindustries or something

[musixx_DJ]

world industries break easily fo me i rather get a element or a alien workshop

[sm0kinm0nky]

o ok thanks.. wat kinda shoes should i get.. adio,vans,etnies,dc.....
i wear theres oldskool addidas skateshoes

[DrEaMgUy2K1]

its like an olley but when u kick it up u gotta have ur other leg "kick"/flick the side edge of the board really fast and itll flip enough, then all u gotta learn is how to stick the landing....haha its easier to show then explain

vans would be ok,how about DC's or etnies?

[musixx_DJ]

i say any shoes are good except circa those shoe are realli heavy i wouldn't reccomend those but i where ipath and DC

[Nosoldat4u]

Yeah you can't really learn tricks from just reading tips, it's all about practicing. If you can, record yourself doing a kickflip/heelflip and view it and look at your mistakes and correct them.

I've never had a World Industries board but I've heard some crappy stuff about them. Right now I have a Girl deck, works great for me.

Shoes, it's all about whats comfortable to you. They all will work, they all will get jacked, so pick what you feel is good on your feet. I myself have lakais but I usually don't skate with those, I like them too much. I skate with $20 airwalks, it doesn't make me skate crappy and they're cheap.

[angel-roh]

getting new tricks...ask the pro, neal bae haha... ask him by leaving a comment to his xanga http://xanga.com/..................... o dammit i forgot-_-;;;;;;;; o no i seriously did forgot...dammit and i know him well...gez ok im bad....lol i'll edit again if i remember his username lol

plz resize it

[inlonelinessidie]

o ok thanks.. wat kinda shoes should i get.. adio,vans,etnies,dc.....

LOL shoes and boards don't really matter. Practice is the key point. I've got this crappy generic board and I wear chucks when I'm skating and I can do the same ol' tricks. I say practice. It's just like you're starting over, you'll get it eventually. But if you had to get new shoes I say go with vans . . . I like them better for some reason. lol

BTW: Do you skate goofy, regular, or switch?

[sm0kinm0nky]

goofy..... howd u ppl copy n paste wat i said with the boxy thing lol.. basicaly i noe i have 2 flick my foot out.. but everytime i do.. the board doesnt flip.. and if it does it doesnt flip under my legs when i hover over

[Ihate]

I'm sponsored by our local shop, I used to be a lot better but I quit for about 2 years. Juss came back to skating 2 months ago when our city got a new skatepark. For a kickflip if you want to catch it high put your back foot like you would an ollie and your front foot towards the front bolts of your board almost touching them but not covering any of them. Make sure you get a clean pop, drag your front foot up and flip the board, and bring your body up with the flip.

EDIT: Also what size is your deck?

[sm0kinm0nky]

dont know i check it out later

[inlonelinessidie]

Yeah maybe you're board is like a vert one. 8x31 or something. But anyways to quote you and get the box thingy . . . I just click the quote thing on the right hand side. LOL.

[*tweeak*]

Where's the board flipping when you flip it. Is it directly under you the whole time?

[xscore]

argh..i suck at stuff like this...

someone tell me if im doing it right?? plz?? =[

[inlonelinessidie]

wow i almost landed akickflip 2 day.. the board fliped right under me but i didnt get both ffeeet on.. SOME ONE PLEASE GIVE ME TIPS!

Try stopping the rotation with your back foot. Then put your front foot on top of the bolts. And slide away . . . lol slide away . . . eh.


And as for xscore:
This is how I do my ollies. Get your back foot near the edge of your board and have your heel hang off it. Your other foot should be near the nose of the board and it can hang off too. Smack the tail with all you've got and jump off your back foot. When you jump have your front foot slide forward. . . I think that's it.


-- hope I'm right, lol.

[xscore]

^ heey thanx!!! that works~!!! haha

[Ihate]

Ok I can't get pics in till at LEAST August 27th now, I got arrested yesterday.

[inlonelinessidie]

Ok I can't get pics in till at LEAST August 27th now, I got arrested yesterday.

You got arrested? Dude that sucks. WTF happened?

[Ihate]

You got arrested? Dude that sucks. WTF happened?

Cops are asses. I'm banned from the park until that date.

[inlonelinessidie]

^^ UGH! I hate when they're at the park, especially when it says 'skate at your own risk', and they're still there. We're wearing safety equipment eh?

[Ihate]

^^ UGH! I hate when they're at the park, especially when it says 'skate at your own risk', and they're still there. We're wearing safety equipment eh?

Argued with them too.

[inlonelinessidie]

LMAO. I guess that part caused you to get arrested.


. . . eh didn't mean to laugh. sorry.

[Ihate]

Well the reason I argued with them was because they only cited 3 of us when there were 20 of us not following the rules. That's not right, juss because he's too damn lazy to write that much.

[Angelos]

lol im new at the whole skateboardning thing i mean i do bmx and im good at that but skateboarding is hard as hell grr ..need help

[inlonelinessidie]

That's just stupid.

[Ihate]

That's just stupid.

Yea especially when each ticket is 110 bucks.

[inlonelinessidie]

That's insane.

[Ihate]

Ooo, when I can go back to the park I'll show you guys our bowl too.

[inlonelinessidie]

What park do you skate at? If I may ask of course.

//EDIT: Here's our bowl. Crappy quality pics I know.

[Ihate]

Skating this new park we got over in Marina, it's only 2 months old. How deep is the tranny on that bowl in your pics?

[inlonelinessidie]

^^ I'm gonna say . . . hmm 4 ft. Don't really know, but I know it's smaller than me LOL.

[Ihate]

Oh, that's pretty small. I thought it waterfalled down towards the bottom end but I guess not. Ours is 12 ft.

[inlonelinessidie]

*cough* 12 ft. WOW!

[Ihate]

Found a pic of it on the thrasher site, here it is.

[inlonelinessidie]

*grabs skateboard and heads over to that skatepark*

Wow lucky you.

[sm0kinm0nky]

im trying to learn how to do an ollie...

argh..i suck at stuff like this...

someone tell me if im doing it right?? plz?? =[

lol i do my ollies lke this....

1. Ollie position = rightleg ( backleg) on the tail and front leg on the middle of the board.

2. Snap/pop down the tail fast

3. drag your front foot up until its on the side..... look at the signature photo thats a ollie

4. land it....keep both feet on and ride away


[much easier to show than tell]

[sm0kinm0nky]

lol im new at the whole skateboardning thing i mean i do bmx and im good at that but skateboarding is hard as hell grr ..need help

how do you do a bunnyhop and manual on bike?

[123321x]

world industries break easily fo me i rather get a element or a alien workshop

make sure youre light if you wanna get an element. im also a n00b at skatin' and practicing my kick and heel flips. i used to have and element, but the wood kept chipping off. now i have a birdhouse mini because its so basic. i still can't get on my board because of a recent surgery on my foot.

another thing: DON'T attempt moves in THPS.

[inlonelinessidie]

^^ LOL Don't attempt moves in THPS.

- Anyhoo I've got this board made by 'OXYGEN' and it's a very sturdy board. If you can find one you should get one. It's cheap too ($30 and it was a complete) I say don't spend too much money on a board especially if you're kind of a newbie. Once you get the hang of it then invest on a pricier board.

[123321x]

i know this is off topic, but $30?! i can make one for free!

[inlonelinessidie]

$30 is totally better then a $109.99 brand name complete if you're just getting started. How can you make one for free? Do you know some people that hook you up? lol

[Ihate]

Unless you have an instrument to fire 7 layers of wood together...shhh.

[123321x]

I've tried it before.. it's just not my thing.

[inlonelinessidie]

Is this like Fatwallet.com? Anyhoo I don't get the site, but whatever.

[Ihate]

This is the only pic I could get in today, batteries died right after it. It's a nollie f/s 180 out of the tranny on the left. Helmet...cuz we have to.

[inlonelinessidie]

Whoa that's pretty high.

[Ihate]

Yea finally. Cops tried to hassle me today too.

[inlonelinessidie]

Man those cops seem like a couple of . . . eh . . . b!tches.

[l1lkrnskata]

[IamRad]

[iheartsimba]

Moved to Sports.

[sk8ter4life750]

I dunno shoes dont really mater I think. But I wear etnies and love 'em.

[sk8ter4life750]

Yea especially when each ticket is 110 bucks.

Tickets are 125 plus your board after your second offence. Ive paid almost 500 dollers in boards and tickets. It sucks. In the summer I get a ticket once a month at least.
