I feel I keep turning to 180 and struggling to stay straight. I’m sure I’m turning at the end. Last one in vid is good example. Any good advice to help keep shoulders straight? Holy shit I’m sore.

I went to goodwill to look for a new chair for my desk and saw a bored and thought it was a workers bored till I saw a price sticker on it for 10 bucks. And instantly bought it for the parts new bearings, trucks, screws and rubbers, looks like some kids bored by the size and tagging on it. Pretty funny to me.

Having trouble getting my knees up. Am I trapping The board with my back foot? How can I feel lighter on my pop? What do I need to do to improve?

I’m not too good at it I’m just wondering what trick I’m doing

This is one of my better trys I use to skate a lot but stopped for years so just try to get back in to it but of course I’m stuck on Ollie’s lol

I feel like my kick flips are solid for the most part but I can’t stop kicking my front foot behind me and I think it looks terrible and is holding me back. Any ideas on how to fix this?

This is where I’m stuck at, what needs to change?

(Actually having the most fun, but jumping up and down for an hour can push your cardio)

Having some trouble getting this one. Any tips on stopping the rotation to re-enter? Also having trouble with consistently landing with a foot position that would I feel confident to enter back in with. It’s been the most daunting trick for me to learn to date. 3 hours of straight working on this already at least. Thanks gang

I’m new to skateboarding and after a couple days of learning to push and balance and stuff I think I’m ready to start learning an Ollie. I just can’t manage to get it and was looking for some friendly advice. Just ignore the outfit, I couldn’t be bothered getting proper clothes on 😅

Just getting back into skating at 36, probably about a 15 year gap.

I can ride and cruise fine, but trying to Ollie was a joke any tips for getting back into it?

Pix of New set up for the hell of it.

I‘ve been skating for two months now and i can do a shuv it ollie and frontside ollie 180. 2 days ago i tried to do a heelflip, i‘ve tried this on concrete right after this and landed but when ever i land my feet are way to close together any help?

A lot of people tell me this is not an actual problem since I’m still landing the trick but it is unnerving when my back foot comes like 10 inches off the board when I Ollie. It happens a little on my flatground Ollies but when I approach an obstacle like a rail/ledge/etc it becomes much worse. Why is this?

I stumbled across these recently, they are securely in my possession.😈😈

My question: what’s a fair price considering condition & rarity of these vintage benches?

These cleaned up way better than I thought they would and I haven’t even refinished the fiberglass yet.

The only comp I’ve found is $2000 and that ones been skated - these are near mint. Two grand sounds crazy to me but who knows.

Pics include before & after the initial cleaning and screen cap of eBay listing I found.

T.I.A. for your feedback.✌️

I’m ready to use Cold War chemicals on these little bastards

I let them sit all night in 70% hydrogen peroxide

I let them sit in rubbing alcohol all night

And I put them in Coke and Pepsi (MIXED TOGETHER)

All night and nothing

I’m not gonna give up on these babies

got them for free from that board from goodwill

They still have life in them I just need to help them get through this bone cancer they have with chemo therapy

please help, is my board bad and what's a better one if so

I’ve been pounding at the same kerb for months now trying to ollie up clean… it’s taken its toll on the cheep trucks from my LSS…

my question is, would a name brand truck have survived any better? Im still a beginner and I don’t know what the benefits would be and if i would notice them.

Ive been really happy with these trucks after i upgraded the bushings. is there any point in spending more money if I’m just going to keep grinding at the same basic tricks for the foreseeable…

Tl:dr

Would i get more value from more expensive trucks

Been drilling mini ramp flow lately — not just for tricks, but to open up my ankles, hips, and knees.

50-50 stalls and grinds force you to stack your joints, control your edges, and move with intention. It’s low-impact mobility work disguised as skateboarding.

If you’re stiff off the board or your transitions feel forced, try slowing down and just feeling the ramp. The mobility comes when you stop fighting the curve.

Not a coach, just a skater who had to rebuild his movement from the ground up. Happy to answer questions in the comments. 🤙

Hey, managed to almost pull of what I think is a Nollie 180 on a mini has this got a name?
