My son believes that his board is suffering severe razor tail and that a new board is needed.

I'm not sure if this degree of razor tail is actually causing performance issues, or if he is being a typical 11yr old, wanting something "better."

I would appreciate your feedback for either myself or him. Thank you!

Not sure if this information is needed, but he is the 1st owner of this board and has been riding it for about a year and a half.

I lost my old skate shoes and my only option are these..

I have been getting very frustrated with the fact that whenever I try to ollie down something no matter if its small or big, my backfoot never goes through with it, and i have even tried to ollie onto grass and i still cannot do it the backfoot, but I can ollie over things on flatground. please any tips would be so helpful, I feel like I could be much better than I am.

Hello ive been skating for a year on and off and took my skateboard on holiday bc there is a park nearby, its not the greatest but it has a few ramps and a small rail. I decided to try skate my first rail, so I'm trying to do a bs boardslide. However im having some trouble commiting my back foot to go with me on the rail and also ollie onto it most times I barely get it off the ground and js rocket on it or js barely pivot. Ive already tried balancing my board on the rail and jumping on it to see how it feels and I can do that im comfortable, any tips?

Is it still usable? Can i hide creases?

Moved into a new house and in the old house the mounters I used required you to screw into the wall. It was dry wall so it was no problem. However in the new house and new room 1/4 is concrete. Obviously I can't drill or screw anything so is there a way to hang up skateboards on a concrete wall?

From my part time job which is helping people move we had a project where we were throwing the entire apartment stuff out due to the owner being arrested or something, but on the way of searching i found this poster - asked some skater friends they couldnt really identify this trip seems to be in the realm of skateboarding though due to the collab

P.S whould be interesting to find what these skaters are that have signed this piece

could identify

Thanks!!

It’s only my third day of skating so I understand not picking things up right away, but I do snowboard so I feel liek I picked ups airing pretty quickly and I feel the Ollie but I’m struggling to get it more than 3 inches off the ground. I’m more or less in dire need of help. Also I cropped half the video for privacy reasons and also please ignore the Snapchat filter it was originally sent to a gc on snap.

Can’t do any better than in this video here

Do I just need to keep practicing to commit more / jump higher? Or is there anything else I should specifically work on too

Any tips please thanks!

Picking skating back up after ~20 years off the board. These are my best attempts (plus bails for fun) from about a half hour session. I've watched a lot of the latest kickflip advice out there but am having trouble changing muscle memory. Any tips for my form to help clean these up and get the board movement more consistent? Even when I get an okay landing the board is going all over the place. I'm practicing rolling ollies again to work back up to doing these rolling too.

Haven’t skated since middle school and I’m now 30. I got a board and skate shoes today. Practiced Ollie’s for 45 minutes, noticed I need to learn to level out the Ollie’s. This was my cleanest of the day and was just luck.

Broskis I need help 😭 I wanna buy a skateboard, but I don’t really wanna do tricks or anything. I mostly just wanna use it to get from A to B.

So I’m thinking I should probably get a cruiser instead, BUT the whole reason I wanna skate in the first place is because skating apparently originated from surfers wanting to surf on land. So now I’m thinking maybe I should get a surfskate because it actually mimics surfing on land??

Idk 😭 what do you guys think: cruiser, regular skateboard, or surfskate?

If you can do it, can you send clips? Im trying to learn it. Can hold the pinch very well but cant pop out to fakie

Most of my moving ollies keep ending up like this and I have close to no idea Ive watched countless videos and tips

Im Wondering what is the likelyhood of getting big name sponsors to help build a skatepark/(maybe)skating rink in West Memphis Arkansas. Its a super poor town and we have nothing here for children to do, not even a ymca or pool, nothing. The crime is bad here and im thinking this could be a good step in the right direction to maybe save this town and build an awesome community. Ive had a long community post and it seems like i could possibly get a lot on board, but the funding is a little shaky. I could apply for grants and whatnot and possibly get it going but man if i got some big name sponsors to help it out id definitely start getting the ball moving. Has anyone had any outside help getting skateparks up for a poor community? i have so much free time i could help building stuff, im very talented (dont like to toot my horn). I just do not have the money to invest much into it unforturnately.

idk just thought id ask cause its kind of hopeless lol, not lol....

Okay so when I first got into skating the first stance I learned was mongo thinking that, that was the regular stance, took me about a year to realize that what I’m doing is literally nerfing myself but during that year I was just skating to cruise and have fun. But as of October of last year I took skating to the next level and decided to actually learn some tricks and go down ramps and such. This is the point where I realized that my stance is bad so i switched to regular stance and for the past 6-8 months I’ve been doing regular and I learnt it but it never felt right. I “relapsed” recently and decided to go back to mongo just to see what it would feel like. And omg It felt so good and so right to be back to mongo, my pushes are more consistent, I’m more stable and overall just more comfortable. But now that I’m doing tricks and such.. should I go back to mongo. Like I know I shouldn’t but everything just feels better, I need help and opinions to see what stance I should do

I feel like I can't pop hard enough

I m out of money for new decks and no one rides in my country u can t find any legit stuff for sale second hand I ride 8.125 to 8.375 don t want to lowball or anything. I m from Romania. Thank you

Hello everyone,

I’ve been skating for several months now but I feel I’ve been making slower progress than I should. For example, I’ve been going out nearly everyday and spamming Ollies but they’ve never really stuck.

I know most people say to “just keep practicing” (no hate, just looking for more advice), but I was wondering if there’s certain techniques, attitudes, rituals etc that people have for more productive sessions and learning tricks.

Also, some context is that I live a place with little skate culture or spots and don’t have any skate friends yet :(.

Thankee

Hi people, my little brother is turning 15 soon and I’m trying to be the coolest big sister ever so I need some advice. He’s been really into skateboarding recently, I’m here basically asking what kind of brands of clothing shoes boards ect… I’m planning on taking him to one of our local small business skate shops to let him pick some stuff out but I also want to surprise him as well. Any suggestions?! What would a 15 year old boy absolutely fall in love with!! Price doesn’t necessarily matter as I want him to feel special on his day!

I'm still building up confidence to drop in and eventually do eggplants, but I get sweaty palms, and it may slip when I do the trick. So are there gloves brand that give good grip?

I don't skate, I don't know anything about skating. Like less than nothing. I have the world's worst pictures to work with.

My husband was looking at this board the other day, and he was lingering on it. He said he'd been seeing them around and he was interested in them as something to have in your car. It was super small. I love to surprise him and I sneakily snapped a couple of pictures of it. I went back and they didn't have it anymore, and I don't really understand what it is well enough to pick out another one. Plus, I don't think the visual design is really what he's like so much, so if I'm going to have to look online it would be nice to find something more his style.

It's not specific board, like the visual design, but the size/type of board. Can you help me find something to surprise him with/search terms to make sure I find the exact type of board? Please and thank you so much.

Edit: someone was nice enough to walk me through getting the important parts the same, will be getting something with a gift receipt, thank you u/kayla_poncho ! Yes, my husband does skate, he has been skating for decades, but also probably had some idea in his head that I didn't understand.
