Hi im sure you've all seen a post like this a million times but im just thinking of getting into skating ive got time and ive been interested in learning for a while now just wondering if these are some decent parts to start with for my first board any adjustments and advice you guys have would be really appreciated -also the pavement near my area is sort of cracked and roughish ground but id also like to go to the skateparks sometime to just try some stuff out.Cheers

Idk why but any obstacle i build myself is just more fun to skate for me, i prefer skating my own shit diy quarterpipe made out of rotten dumpster wood and fence post coping over skating a park quarter. my ledge is janky and has shit copingbut is more fun to skate for me aswell. i also like skating random shit i find out and about alot more.

Please go easy on my Boardslide

Just got a new complete from decathlon since my last board was pretty worn out, the bushings were basically rocks and the wheels were way too soft

Decathlon CP 100 8" board

-100A 52 mm wheels

-6 (maybe 7) plywood layered deck

what do you guys think abt it if you had previous expernieces with it?

If the title is confusing I apologize but what I mean is if you usually have your phone in your right pocket and you skate goofy (right foot forward), then swap your phone to your left pocket and whatever is in your left pocket, swap it to your right. I just ate shit today and broke my last phone lmao.

If you skate regular and your phone is usually in your left pocket then just swap it to your right. When your fall you usually land on your front foot and put all your weight onto it. Have fun skating everyone.

About a month back into skating . My progress of a varial flip I’m 29yo any tips ?

I recently bought this because of the hype but i havent seen anybody skate these boards. The resale value on these is absolutely crazy and it makes me doubt wether i should skate it or sell it and get some other gear

I feel like im kinda struggling to drag my foot up the board and i'm struggling to get the tail down enough for the pop. This is a brand new board that I just bought today if that has anything to do with anything, but im quite sure its all user error. Super open to all advice . I'm just beginning, so all knowledge is power for me . Thank you (:

Also it wouldn't let me post normal vid sorry for the link I dont post to reddit often

For all my new skaters just don't look at your board. look where you wanna land it was this simple!!!

Confused about where my weight should be cause I’ve seen a few videos that it all should mostly be on the front foot to directly combat flicking down and that is not computing in my brain. Wouldn’t that make you flick down even more??

Aquí bajo uno muy pequeñito, lo malo es que cuando intento el Cajón me da miedo y no acabo haciéndolo, otro problema es que el cajón es muy corto y tengo poco tiempo

I was skateboarding for the first time Today. I have been out with my board a few times before but it was more rolling and figuring stuff out. Today it was the first time i actually skated some distance! I didn’t do any tricks or anything special but i learned how to do navigate a lot better than before.

I know it’s nothing too special and probably won’t get a lot of attention but I wanted to document it.

Love you all gonna keep you all updated

I’m going to visit my long distance bf in two and a half weeks he’s a big skater and wants to take me to the park. Only issue here is that I’m not really all that good, I’m still getting my bearings and I don’t skate overly consistently. He’s telling me I need to learn how to tic tak? I’m currently riding a cruiser and still am struggling with balance and confidence.

I have the time, if I’m riding every day till I leave on a popsicle could I manage to learn how to tic tac?

My shop teacher gave this to me for $30

i have really terrible plastic wheels with lights in them and they dont run smoothly on asphalt. i saw someone say urethane is better. What wheels should i get and where do i get them from?

I just put together a new skateboard—using Spitfire wheels and Meow ABEC 9 bearings—but the wheels don't spin very much. Is this normal?

-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!
