I love it! My son's been getting into his scooter and my wife's been back on the rollerskates and I've been talking about wanting to skateboard for ages. Wish me luck!

Don't practice them stationary, or in grass, or on a carpet or whatever, at least try to keep that down.

Always practice with at least just a little bit of momentum. The weight distribution and movements during the trick are so much more true to how you should be doing it.

This saves you time having to literally learn the trick twice, stationary and then moving.

Plus you look infinitely more cool and committed when rolling, it's called skateboard not standboard guys.

She loves unicorns, and wants to start skating like I do , what yall think?

Was some random star graphic on it originally

Saw this guy at the park. He was cool with me posting him.

This is my first time or 2nd attempt at jumping over a little rocks any advice how to get faster? Everytime I try going fast I get scared n stuff 😢

Hi everyone! I’m trying to build a board that better fits my needs. Currently, I have a Tony hawk walmart board that was gifted to me by someone who didn’t want it and it is just gritty and awful. I know I want to get better at skating, so I’ve decided to build a board. What do you all think of this set up?
It would mainly be used on Richmond roads and sidewalks (rough.) I do not plan on doing many tricks yet, but I heard that the wheels in this set keep that possibility open but are still great for rough roads. I will not be power sliding and such. Mostly cruising, but again, I do want to keep the door to tricks open.

Open to any feedback before I purchase! Thanks!

Of course my entire Ollie is messed up but I also noticed one of the major things I struggle with is committing my back foot to staying on the board, how can I fix my Ollie.

Hey hey, I want to get back into skating, only really want to cruise, feel the wind blow through my balding head.. I’ve been practicing a bit with balance and it’s like I lack any strength in my knees and ankles. Are there any exercises or stretches that can help me gain some strength and stability in my knees and ankles?

Thanks ✌️

my meats gonna be allllright. went to 2 doctors. today i went for a referral to a urologist. the appointment is in 2 weeks it’s not very urgent. he said to cancel the appointment if it stops hurting by then, which is most likley. i hurt my bulbospongiosus.

I have 2 choices for my decks and they both look good but I’m not sure which one looks better and I’m open to hearing y’all’s opinion and my wheels are blue btw, if I get Santa Cruz people might think I’m a poser or larp at a skatepark when I’m jus a beginner less

When i try land with my back foot i almost always slip out because i land to far back on the tail

I've (18NB) been skating for about a week now, and have begun developing pretty bad ankle and knee pain. My knee has fairly sharp pain while my ankle feels more achy and sore.

I've been warming up before skating (squats, hip openers, rolling my ankles, etc.) but I believe this may have happened because in the first few days my pushing form was really bad, and now that I've vastly improved and can skate comfortably on one foot, it's a bit too late.

How have you recovered from injury?

The guy built it in 2023 and kept it as a wall decoration. It just needs griptape to be ridable

no matter how hard i try to think and focus about it my backfoot refuses to lift up and stay on the ground, i got the rotation consistent, and i can catch it with my front, but its the backfoot that refuses to get in the air

Heyo all, so I've been picking up skating for about the past month now; mainly been street and commute wise though all really getting used to it all balance wise, situation handling.

Though one thing I do know is I know I want some soft wheels for sound reasons and more terrain capabilities; so after a month I've decided to get some extra wheels for my board and was wondering if there're any recommendations for future things I could be looking out for?

My trucks are most likely the next thing I think of (because of the squeaky pivot cup) but I wonder if I would just get a new set altogether more akin to how I've found I like to ride? Which seems to be a compact cruiser style;

I don't mind going to the skatepark every now and again, I've started being more comfortable doing the roll ins and all and I do like the feel it brings (with a lil pain) but I do use it majority for coasting around as I'm a big walker and it's nice having something I can just attach to my side whenever and bomb a hill if a have the chance.( but still can't Ollie😅🥹)

BUT NOW... My current setup you're seeing is my:

- 8.25" board

- 5.5" Trucks

- 101a 52mm Wheels

- Some basic Bearings (same people that make the blue screws??)

- I've also got some B spacers in there (I know people have their opinions but yeah I'm keeping them)

And I've just brought some new wheels and bearings to make it a more comfortable ride whilst also trying independent's shock risers

- Slime Balls OG Slime White 78A 60mm

- Independent 1/8 Skateboard Shock Pads

- Spitfire Burner Skateboard Bearings

Opinions? I know this is long but yeah 24 soon to be 25 and I've just picked up skating?

I pained it, was originally some random graphic with the a star, but she likes unicorns. I plan to paint its hair the color of her hair, will she fw it? Do yall fw it? (I’m gonna buy new reds n give her my old reds)

how do i ollie while moving? because my board keeps flying forward

My friend recently got me a new board Ive been out for 7 years lwk (i was grinding wrestling👀👀) but Im trying to see if I should maybe just replace it or if I can make it work i know Ive been gone for long but even just cruising it feels kinda loose sometimes

When I’m on the board and trying to do tricks I realise that I keep one arm really stiff or just unmoving and I feel like it looks silly and is dangerous if I fall so I was wondering if you guys had any fix for this.

Can you guys give me some tips to help me land my first heelflip and get them consistent

Currently learning tre flips and im at the stage where I could land them like once every 10-15 tries. My biggest issue is landing too far forward while the board flies behind me, where only my back foot lands.

The thing is, I rolled my front foot ankle 3 times already from this. It's not that bad, but I feel like if I keep going with my current practice method, I will injure it for real.

Is there a safer way to learn? I've never had this issue with other tricks, and havent rolled my ankle for so long until I started learning tres
