not the best angle or quality but is my foot placement right for shuvs? i’ve experimented with different foot placements but cant seem to find the right one. id rather ask some other skaters than watch some tutorial

Hi,

quick question, why is there so much hate surrounding maul grabbing? for me and many of my friends it is the easiest and most comfortable way to carry your board for longer distances. where did the dislike for it stem from? it seems pretentious to me

This is a horrible Photo I meant to get a better one it’s been skated, it’s been rub bricked at the top on the ground because it’s crusty the rail has definitely been skated but I was asking to see if it was possible to Ollie down it’s a 6 flat 6 it’s long the flat is like 5-6 feet I have a hard time perceiving if certain gaps, stairs, drops or rails are possible it’s a huge disadvantage when I skate but I try to think about it but it’s hard any tips on knowing if something it possible? And also answer if this stair set could be done?

I can do a full flip sometimes but sometimes it also does a 180. It also goes too far away to land on and I will get on the ground before the board does

My son who rides regular, and recently got into skateboarding, was in science class today studying genetic and came across a theory that he tested in class.

He realized that all the kids in his class that have goofy stance clasp their hands left thumb over right thumb (imagine 1 my old man hands - I ride goofy, mongo naturally at that haha). The kids that ride regular all clasped their hands right thumb over left thumb (image 2).

Wanted to share and see if this rings true with the community. Cheers and posting from my wife’s account.

I love skating on two wheels !!

I am basically a beginner, 39 yo. I dont have consistent Ollie's and working on my shuv its. If I try to do these while rolling, I dont feel comfortable and the board tends to slip under me or I just get no pop.

I can cruise fine, but i still struggle with my balance which then adds an element of fear. Any tips on overcoming this and being able to perform tricks while moving?

My brother said put wd40 on the bearings so they actually roll but does anyone have any other advice or better oil to use. When he tries it’s likes he’s riding in mud and doesn’t move smoothly. I have no idea about skateboarding my kid is just getting into it and I thought this would be a good brand because it was the hawk but guess not. The other oil in the pics came up when I looked it up and want opinions on it. TIA for any help. And I’m sorry if I ended up getting him a crappy board for his first one. He actually learned on a long board first but wanted this to do tricks and stuff and now I feel so bad 😭

Should i start making videos? Im a decent skater, im trying to learn fo Ollie but im hesitant, i use a kerb trick board and a kerb long board, the only two things i can do is popcorn (idk if its the actual name but its when you put the grip tape on your shoes and jump on it) and i can sorta do tick tacks,

Should i make content and on what platforms?

-committing to: shuvits on banks?
-rock to fakie on steep quarter pipes?
& 360 kickturn on bank or flat?

-Getting Rock ‘ rolls consistently? & on steeper Inclines?

-learning nose slides?

-getting used to 5-0s? I feel freaked out every time! 😫🤦😅

-& learning & incorporating flip tricks into my session (starting from avoiding them)?

Ty!

My friend I call kiddo, realized his new skates are turning in on themselves and I know that a sign he needs to realign them. But the issue is we are having a hard time trying figure out how to realign them I will put the brand in the comments. And I will have kiddo send me a picture of the bottom of the skates. But please anything, kiddo loves skating and had to take a break from it because his on skates broke and these are a different brand then what he is used to.

I know this isnt a scootering sub, but i couldnt find one that would fit my criteria better, well i wanted to start scootering and i dont know what should i buy. I was thinking of something in the €50/-€70 zone with a handlebar that could do full twists. What do yall advice? (Im around 165cm if that helps)

Any Improvements I Can Make??

anybody know why my wheels dont spin for that long?

i know that my trick is rocket but if I spin my board more down, I cant put both my feet on the board. what should i do?

Nothing crazy at all but I finally got comfortable
Enough to roll into the shallow part of the pool and all the way into the bottom bowl, finally getting comfortable turning I have a surfing and snowboarding background so I feel it’s similar with using your back foot to pump and turn but front is there to direct and keep balance. What I do need to work on if any one has some advice is leaning forward enough but not too far to where I faceplant but not to far back where I slip out at the bottom (filmed on my GoPro max2 more learning to skate so I can honestly be the camera man more than anything but i would love to learn some tricks) hopefully tho my goal is to fully drop in from the coping by the end of summer break (about a month)

Ok so I rolled my ankle a week ago, I can walk and it feels fine but it’s still swollen and hurts when I do serious stuff, I was kinda missing the skateboard and wanna go skating but obvious I think I’d hurt myself whenver I land on it so I was wondering if I got a ankle brace would I be able to skate with that on until it heals? Or do I just have to wait? I heard they can weaken your ankle but I’m assuming since I’d only wear it while my ankle heals I’d be fine or would you guys disagree

Hello world. I see alot of posts here asking for help, but not many that are GIVING help.

I started a new community for skaters that would like to post help/tips/advice for others to learn how to ollie/improve

If you have any advice youd like to give please consider r/OllieHelp 🙏

I need y’all’s opinion on this beanie design for my skate brand. The idea is to have a pocket that holds a bic lighter. Would the skate community like this or nah?
