Official skateboard thread of YYE

Skateboard wise:

I prefer thunder or destructo trucks.
And spitfire fourmula four wheels!

So I found the problem with my ollies. Im not jumping, the most obvious thing about it :|. Its been raining so I can’t skate :(.

I feel like it would be really fun to put together a board from scratch. Especially the grip tape.
Do you guys watch any YouTube skate videos? I watch braille,rat vision skate tech (great helpful channel), Andrew Schrock, and Christopher chann. My favorites are Chris chann and braille, I love Aaron kyro.

Grip tape it the hard part :slight_smile:
I love Braille! Have you seen these movies?:
Bones brigade
Dog town and Z-boys
The search for animal chin

All top tier flicks!

I saw bones brigade about a week ago actually!

Alright guys, the board might be delayed, the tooHOT is coming out.

I can ollie and manual, but not too well. I can get the board to flip for a kickflip, but I can’t land it. I’m getting into longboarding. An earthwing supermodel is coming in the mail. Can’t wait!

Not including bones brigade, what’s the best skate movie on Netflix? I know they have the dogtown Z- boys or whatever its called.

Dotown and Z-Boys is likely the all time best skate movie

Used to love skateboarding, but as I got older I got sick of constantly getting injured. I do miss it at times though.

Building a deck from the board up is so fulfilling. Custom grip taping it yourself, customs hardware, picking your trucks and wheels… It’s like having your own child by the end of it. :stuck_out_tongue:

I got skate 3 after playing the demo and skating around a gazillion times. I think im gonn aplay this a lot, but my mom always says “just like every other game, ill find it in your room after 10 days!” even though every game I own I’ve play over a year of:|
Anyway, I feel like im not improving at all with skating… I can’t get my back foot up and don’t know what to do to help it…

Ehh, I liked bones a little bit better…

How I learned it was to slam your back foot down and then immediately jump as high as you can off of it. Don’t know if that will help you, but did the trick for me

ive got a Landyachtz Tomahawk, Stella Bamboo, Creature Wrench. All, but the tomahawk, are for sale or trade.

I got my first good longboard in the mail recently.

Earthwing Supermodel 41"
Paris 180s

Gripped it myself. Pretty happy with it so far.

That looks sweet man, it looks about ready for a ride!

Looks pretty sick! I used to prefer Randal IIs but after a while I started using nothing but Paris’ I guess they felt ‘tighter’ kind of? Less room to wiggle between the hanger and bushing maybe? I’m not sure anymore, Randals just don’t feel right anymore :stuck_out_tongue:

I want to learn how to slide on it, but haven’t got around to it yet. Eventually if I get enough money, I would like to put some 78a Flashbacks on it, and maybe try some caliber trucks.

Getting an Earthwing was a smart move, same with the Paris 180’s
