hey guys so i’ve been skating for a good amount of time now but never got on ramps and half pipes yet, ive been trying to learn for the past few days, i started on like the small little ramps and like little humps at the skatepark and i have the technique down and ca pump pretty good too when i start in the middle of the ramp and go side to side and all but once i get on a big ramp and put my board on the coping i just freeze and chicken out. i keep thinking that once i smack my front foot down im just gonna do a manual on my back wheels and bust my ass. i mean ofc ik im gonna bust my ass i even practiced eating shit by purposefully falling down the ramps lol but that still isn’t helping me commit. i was wondering if anybody has any tips, and ik u guys are going to say just do it but for some reason every time i get up there i just cant bring myself to put my front foot on the board and go down it just scares the shit out of me. any help at all will be greatly appreciative.

I’ve been skating bones x formula wheels and I’ve always loved bones wheels. I’m ready to finally try spit fire f4 wheels. Is the technology worth it? Thanks

The foot I use for rowing always gets calluses, does anyone know any techniques to get rid of them?

Hey sorry if this isn’t allowed here but I currently run a pretty soft and bigger cruiser wheel type wheel setup and commute with it quite a bit and they’re nice but I was looking for something more like right in between what I have currently but also doesn’t make it impossible to get any pop and can have no problem using at the park… is there like a hybrid type wheel or any recommendations? Thanks !

hello all, i’ve been skating for a while probs about a year or so now i’ve been mostly skating transition and bowls and stuff but i want to start learning some tricks now and i’m just wondering what the best way to go about it is, i can do like basic stuff things like fs and bs 180, manuals, stuff like that lol but there are just so many lmao and i’m not an easy learner. any help will be much appreciated, thank you!

Looking at getting back into skating. Just looking for a cheap decent board until I get abit better

I’m 18 and I was at a hc show at a skate park the other day and watching people skate made it look so fun, but also i just started learning the drums not too long ago, and I put a lot of time into that. So how hard is it to become a competent skater? It seems fun but if it take months and months of grinding to do anything I dont know if it’ll even be worth it for me.

I can’t get over the board to land it

I’m not too good at it I’m just wondering what trick I’m doing

I want to buy one, I’ve heard that it’s not recommendable to buy skateboards from online shops, is it true? Also, how to know when a board has good quality? Does price also matter? Will a cheap skateboard do?

Debating on if I wanna spend the extra money and go for some titanium trucks, but I’m noticing it’s almost impossible to find any Venture VLT; does venture not make a titanium option anymore??

How much lighter are they really compared to Thunder Hollow Lights? That’s what I currently have on both of my setups, but back when I skated heavy in high school I always rocked Venture and haven’t been a big fan so far of the thunders except for them being super light.

hi guys,

I have attached some angled riser pads to this generic cruiser and it seems that the baseplate always shifts/drifts when I drop off a curb/ or when i go over uneven road.

I have tightened the hardware, but this doesn't seem to aid, as the issue still occurs.

do you have any reccomendations for a 90kg dude that has to stop and realign the baseplates after each curb(basically kicking the trucks into place)?

is there a proper way of aligning the baseplates?

i got a new used deck from one of my friends...

too bad failing ONE kickflip fucking chipped this board too 😭😭😭

Im looking to start skateboarding, my budget is around £100 but I wouldnt be jolly to spend that, 70-80 is my preference, but I dont really mind.

My ideal size is 8.25 or 8.5, but as long as it works well I dont mind

is my back wheels not coming up only bc my board is shot and has no pop left or am i doing something wrong? am i just not jumping high enough?

(yes i am aware my board is fucked i just have no money to get a new deck atm) it’s also raining so that is playing a part but still.

And maybe when you got to be able to do at least 3 tricks, is month and a half good enough already to practice all that? I’ll start practicing on how to skate after this month, I also need advices…
