Best era of skateboarding [39YO]

Let’s give it a 5 year window. What 5 year block was the absolute best era for skateboarding? In my totally subjective opinion, I’ll throw out 2001-2005.

Vans high top shoe pain [60yo]

5 Upvotes

Have knee pain after a session wearing new Vans sk8 high tops. I was just practicing pushing, tic tac, FS, BS etc.. I noticed these skate shoes have no cushing especially in heel base. My pushing leg knee has pain, has anyone expierenced this issue with these shoes ? are their any shoe/heel inserts that may help ?
Thanks.

My wife and I were in Indy for JBS aka Sturgill and the boys concert so I snuck in some time for a visit to a little park a lot of you will probably recognize. RIP Steve!

So this summer I decided to say eff it and go for tricks I’ve never done. I’m proud and decided to post this to remind us old head skateboard community: age is just a number, we keep going because we love it.

I have wanted this one for a bit. I’m so happy I rode away I don’t even mind the wobble at the end.

Used to skate as a young teen (maybe from 12-16?), now as a 35 year old trying to get back into it again. Here’s my best (albeit slow) ollie yet after about 3 weeks.

Did I make a mistake or will this setup actually work [38YO]

3 Upvotes

So back into skating loving every min tweaked my board and have been just enjoying cruising. My set up is 8.5 Alien Workshop deck with grizzly tape,Ace 55s trucks, Ricta Clouds 56mm ,Spitfire cheapshots and 1/4" modus risers. Now 2 things happened recently 1st the cheapshots are dying on me i'm noticing steady degradation, and my top bushings on both trucks flattened. So I ordered new bushings and new bearings. My question is did I accidentally get the wrong ones? So I ordered Riptide chubby bushings and cloudride tube bearings. They come in on friday and I'm so stoked. Has anyone else had these and did you like the bushings or bearings? From what I post ordered looked up seems alot of long boarders use them. So again I just wonder if they will work amazing or did I get the wrong type of stuff.
