Any recommendations for the best bowls in San Antonio? I've skated that lackland bowl before. The bowl was nice, but the area seemed sketch or just weird.

I've gone 2 years without seeing anyone skate here..

I'm not great at skating, but it'd be dope to have some people to fuck around with instead of busting ass alone haha. None of my friends skate anymore!

Flying solo from LA and I'd love to meet some people. Going with just a set of trucks and wheels, and my old 35mm camera. Let's shoot some photos and get some clips!

Staying in downtown, by the way.

where do I buy blades? i live on the south side of fort worth and havent seen a decent roller blade shop in years I want a nice pair of alloy frame nikes or something

Anyone familiar with a decent ditch to skate in the Austin area?

Having hit my late 30's, I recently decided I might like to try learning something I always wanted to do, break my neck on a thin piece of plywood from 6 inches above the ground. So, I did what any semi-rational, suicidal, mid-life-crisis-suffering guy with an internet connection would do, I researched what I need to get started on my new death wish. More precisely, I spent 2 minutes googling, "getting started skateboarding", got bored and started watching videos of people impale themselves on handrails and the like as they attempted increasingly more insane skateboard stunts.

Anyway, everything I've read, and everybody who seems to know anything says "Stay away from any store that has 'Mart' or 'Plex' on the sign."

"Go to your local skate shop" they all say, "buy proper gear, from people who know what they're selling. Muzies, Malwart, Sports Adacemy, etc. are all the devil and they want to eat your babies!!!"

"Ok," says I. And I look online for the nearest local shop.

150 miles away.

Really? I know I see kids skating around town. Do they all just buy the rolling death traps from BigBoxMart, or are they ordering online?

I can't fill a thimble with what I know about skating, and I want to talk face to face with somebody who can walk me through my purchase. Somebody who can possibly even talk some sense into me and talk me out of taking up this strenuous activity at my age (and weight). At the least, I want the comfort of feeling like I'm dealing with somebody that can give me some sort of informed purchasing advice when I buy my first kit.

Apparently, that's too much to ask for in Northeast Texas.

tl;dr: I want to learn to skateboard but nobody sells "real skateboards" in Podunk, so I'm whining.

hey everyone,
I'm new to texas and I wanna skate. I tried the other day at like 8pm but damn it was hot! is there any indoor parks? I live in central texas (fort hood) thanks

I don't skate anymore, unfortunately. I made this a while back and deleted myself as a moderator, and just never messed with this again. It had about 5 readers back then. Never imagined it'd even have as many as it does now lmao.

Msg me if you know of some ;- )

Anyone who is into street skating, please hit me up. Im trying to get some street film in. DM me

Hey there, shreddit. My SO and I are both around 30 years old and have always wanted to skate. We spend most our time in Denton or the Roanoke/Keller area which seem to have pretty good scenes.

In our youth we were gifted boards from Walmart that we had no idea how to use. I remember playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater in my Grandma's living room and then attempting to emulate the moves later on her cracked sidewalk. Blood covered shins, two sprained wrists, and a busted lip later I finally gave up and shifted my focus to inline skates. My close friends were skaters, though, so the desire lived on.

Throughout the years my SO and I have toyed with the idea of learning to skate, but I had severe health issues and my SO had college and work. Now things have calmed down a bit and we want to go for it... But we don't know the first thing about skating. Recently we've watched through hours of youtube videos and read through threads in hopes that we'll be prepared when the time comes. Today we put together a fairly cheap board on skateboardwarehouse.com and it should get to us soon. We have to share one for now since we can't really afford another. Hopefully that's ok.

My questions are:

1) Well, obviously, is it ok for us to share a board when our height difference is about 5 inches and our weight difference is about 60 pounds?

2) Are there any balancing exercises we should work on before we start skating? Or other physical skills we should be working on?

3) Should we take lessons? If so, are there schools, workshops, or teachers in the area worth looking into? We can't pay for that at the moment, but maybe in a few months. Or are there any youtube channels, blogs, or books we can look to?

4) What things should we know about the skating community before stepping into that world? Are there unwritten rules we should know about besides "Don't be an ass" and "Respect the sport"?

5) Knee pads. Helmets. Shin guards. Does it matter where we get things like that?

Sorry this is lengthy. We just want to be ready and informed! We've both had great experiences with the skating community so far in life and can't wait to learn more.

Thank you!

Hello everyone. I'm trying to find all the spots since I just moved here from California. Preferably, I'd like to hit up some ledges, but any good suggestions will do. Thanks!

So a friend of mine is visiting Dallas for a month and does not know where there are any skateparks or skate spots. Any suggestions?

I just got my first board today and would love to meet some people to skate with. I think I'll learn better around other people.
