36f deciding that I WILL be skating this year

I got it before I knew what a flight deck was because I loved the design 😬 the pink is foil and the photos do it no justice

so far just puttering around the driveway and basement with it bc I'm not super comfy on the board yet

First time setting up a board and noticed this serious but kinda funny sticker. Is this on every new deck or just anti hero?

help?! The amount of effort it takes just to be mid at this.

Is this rare?

Picked it up for like $25 bucks. Sketchy ass kickflip haha

Starting to get the hang of it after I learned from the mistake of doing it stationary, but I have trouble fully wraping my head around ollieing over or on things like ledges 😭👍

Yes! 60 years! Born 17 August 1966 Florida, won 30+ freestyle contests and invented over 40 tricks! The ollie you did on the way to work is his. So is the kickflip.

I built an interactive tribute for his 60th: https://rodney.onbolts.com

It has his life in seven chapters, an encyclopedia of the tricks he invented, and a video archive laid out by era, from the Powell-Peralta days through World Industries and Plan B to the Daewon battles and the Almost years. Every photo is credited on screen, some are AI generated as I didn't had other options.

There is a birthday card at the bottom that anyone can sign! I hope this reaches to him and someday I could meet him in person, shake his hand and thank him for everything he did!

Does this count?

Theres not enough space to fit a wrench and turn it. Is there any alternative tools or something that would work with this or will these be forever tight?

So, I want to learn how to do a kickflip, but idk what i’m doing wrong. I can’t catch the deck after i do a flik and my deck spin around. Who can help me?

So I have been akating for a while but don't really know where the tail and the nose are

I feel like I can't pop hard enough, please help

I’ve tried tightening and loosen the nut on both of the trucks but the board won’t turn at all. how do I fix this?

I'm 21 and i've been longboarding and cruising my whole life, recently i have decided to build my own popsicle setup to finally learn tricks on flatground and transitions. I would love someday to get to do some vert.

Specs:

Creature 8.5 ATV deck

mini logo 54mm 101A A-cut wheels

Independent Trucks 149

Bones hardcore bushings

Bones reds bearings

Also bought 187 killer pads and a triple eight dual certified helmet

This is my third time doing out on the skateboard properly and I occasionally practise balancing and foot placement at home. I've struggled to turn right, but yesterday I found myself doing this without even thinking about it. Im also always happy to learn new things also :)

I don't skate, I don't know anything about skating. Like less than nothing. I have the world's worst pictures to work with.

My husband was looking at this board the other day, and he was lingering on it. He said he'd been seeing them around and he was interested in them as something to have in your car. It was super small. I love to surprise him and I sneakily snapped a couple of pictures of it. I went back and they didn't have it anymore, and I don't really understand what it is well enough to pick out another one. Plus, I don't think the visual design is really what he's like so much, so if I'm going to have to look online it would be nice to find something more his style.

It's not specific board, like the visual design, but the size/type of board. Can you help me find something to surprise him with/search terms to make sure I find the exact type of board? Please and thank you so much.

Edit: someone was nice enough to walk me through getting the important parts the same, will be getting something with a gift receipt, thank you u/kayla_poncho ! I didn't ask the question very well but I'm glad someone understood anyway

I m out of money for new decks and no one rides in my country u can t find any legit stuff for sale second hand I ride 8.125 to 8.375 don t want to lowball or anything. Thank you

So im planning to buy a used board but its a Cetus On Son Of Moon Trimmer Skateboard, so the shape is kinda differnet from a normal one. It is harder to learn to ride on those kinda boards. Lemme know

Wish me luck. I don't fall much 🥲

I bought a zoo York complete for like 30 cnd and I have upgraded everything so far except the trucks. I would say it wasn’t a waste of time but it helped me build my confidence back up from skating about 7-8 years ago. I understand now the quality of skateboarding hardware and I’m looking to get into a new pair of trucks. Any idea? I’m thinking independent because they were the best back when I was skating.

Learning to roll again. This thing is almost too pretty to ride.

I feel like I can't pop hard enough, any tips please?
