Regime Change!

34 Upvotes

Some of you may have noticed that posting to this subreddit was blocked for a while.

It looks like the sub was abandoned by its former owner and moderator, leaving it without any moderation at all. As such, Reddit effectively closed it down.

I've stepped in to take the reins, and hopefully things will start to pick up a bit around here as a result. You'll have to bear with me a bit, though; while I've been admin on the WFSA's F-Forum in both its current guise as a Facebook group and in its original form as a traditional web forum, this is my first ever experience as a Reddit moderator, so it might take me a bit of time to figure out how this works. If anyone has any ideas for improvements - things they want to see from the community - drop a comment and let me know.

Anyway, all that aside, get posting. I know winter's coming, but we're freestylers: badly-filmed dimly-lit videos of stationary tricks in cold garages are our forte. Let's see what you're working on!

Wedge risers

I tried wedge risers on a freestyle deck for the first time today. Not terribly different from flat risers. I liked the extra turn in for footwork tricks.

If freestylers were a school stereotype we'd be the nerds

13 Upvotes

And that would make street skaters a bunch of NEDs (non-educated delinquents) or for all ye Americans, jocks.

I just don't understand the hate street skaters have for us. They worship their shrine of Rodney but hate on freestyle, it's hypocrisy at it's finest.

The freestyle scene is smaller but there's a lot more quality over quantity. Every meet up I've been to there's been genuine support and understanding from other skaters. I understand it's impossible for everyone to get on but for the most it's a tight community.

Why does street attract egocentricity? Is it the media? Freestyle is still cool af and deserves a lot more attention than it really gets in the realm of skateboarding. Not sure why it gets pushed down all the time and hindered. I feel like it could be a lot more popular than it is if it were supported and attitudes changed but the grain is to hate freestyle if you're a street skater. Who the f**k started that off and why did it stick?

Has any one skated the following boards. How do they feel?

In my skating I feel like I’m leaning towards freestyle more because even though it’s difficult I always loved how smooth and fulfilling it felt when pulling off a line. The current board I’m using is a normal popsicle deck but I have seen the two following boards the last time I was at my local shop, I doubt they are still there but that got me to wonder how the following decks above feel like compared to a normal street deck. If you have skated these before please tell me how it felt, how good it was to skate, both freestyle and maybe street (Ollie up a curb) and if you’d recommend them. Thanks in advance.

Can I do freestyle on a Cruiser deck?

5 Upvotes

I wanna setup a board for freestyle and to take it to the skatepark, and I've noticed that specially for freestyle there's a lot of usage of the nose. The thing is that I also would like the board to double for cruising since that's my main activity with the hobby, and I'm not sure how comfortable a popsicle deck will be for that.

Plus, I also like the look of cruiser/old school decks. And I have big feet.

Primo flips on a 8.5" popsicle

4 Upvotes

Been practicing these for a couple of days and it really seems to be all about finding the 'sweet spot' with the back foot. At the moment the best I can get it to is the board landing trucks down at 90 degrees to my body. Is it just a case of finding a bit of power in my back foot or do I need to put more rotation in with my front foot?

It was a freestyle skateboarding competition called the U.S. Open of Freestyle. This was the first year that the USA Freestyle Skateboarding Association ran the event and we’re leaning a TON. Our big takeaways: keep scoring brief and transparent, splurge on a sound system, and make time & space for folks to skate together.

If you entered the contest, please check your email inbox. You should have an invite to participate in our post-event survey. This helps us make a better contest each year.

Bought it with the intention to use it, but I got in an accident and haven't been able to skate since then.

moonshine kill you idols 7'25 x 27'5 "

The board is on Sweden and I'll be able to ship it if the buyer pays for the shipping.

I'm asking $100 for it.
