I gotta wonder how many times you can even practice that without destroying yourself.

I never really thought about The Prestige in those terms but it really can be used as a stand-in for any extreme pursuit of perfection of performance. Gotta watch that movie again if only for Bowie. It's getting wet and dark and cold here again and I'm sort of mad that I squandered the dry weather not skating. I'm going to do my yearly regression where I skate in place for five months and convince myself that I'm good at kick flips and then crack my collarbone in the late summer.

That board looks fun as gently caress. Nice.

I mean, do what you want. My brother hasn't skated since he was 8 and he buys decks as art pieces when something cool comes along.

You can still skate after you have kids. It's just different. e: i can't get it to do an inline mp4 so whatever https://i.imgur.com/4mRuRRc.mp4 DR FRASIER KRANG fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Jan 25, 2021 |

When I'm really pumping for speed, my plant foot isn't even doing much but making the board stay straight. Like I kinda hop in the air while i get my kick foot going and then push down with both feet at the same time.

WildZeo posted:I started skating again at the beginning of the first lockdown here in the UK, when the gyms shut and I couldn't do powerlifting anymore. I'm still super heavy (280-ish pounds) but I'm getting pretty confident again. Super stoked to get my tre-flips back after a 20 year break. Took me a while to get them on this bank. Nice. That's a legit full rotation three flip. Weather is getting good so let's all get some footage of our best slow motion ankle rolls.

My older son got it for his birthday. It's called a "kickflipper" and it's like a carpet skateboard to help them learn pushing and kick turns. E: after watching my son use it all morning, he's really into those super deep Jay Adams carves and I just hope that's where the similarities stop.

A little wheel bite is okay. Typically my decks get a groove where each wheel hits the deck for a deep turn. You can also use it to help with power slides since it will lock in more friction but there's a point where it fucks you.

I got a wide deck with riser pads just because I'm old and my ankles suck but it's bizarre and I can't actually use it. I think if I just take the risers off it'll be okay but if you suddenly have an extra 1/4" added to the fulcrum of your pop it is gonna majorly gently caress with your ollie.

I'm not familiar with the brand but it looks like the right thing for someone starting out. Usually when dealing with unfamiliar branded completes, the weak point is going to be the bearings being poo poo but you can easily replace those if they end up crapping out on you. Other than that, it's got metal trucks with bushings so it's not like you bought a Nash or anything. I'm sure it'll be a blast.

jiggerypokery posted:Been skating again for a week or so now for an hour or two a day. I have ollies, shuv-its down (like 90%) pop shuv its at about 30-40%. Are you jumping with both feet or leaning back and landing back foot first? I always think about it in discrete steps that have to happen in order for the board to get some lift: 1) pop the tail and make sure it hits the pavement 2) slide front foot up the deck while making sure my back foot gets the heck out of the way (jump!) 3) flick front foot so it too gets the heck out of the way so the deck can rotate 4) bring legs back in so they're over the deck I kind of think about it like my legs need to go out then back in like a jumping Jack. It's why the insides of your thighs should burn after trying it for hours.

I wear a helmet when I skate because my kids point out hypocrisy at every opportunity and I also can't afford to get a concussion or go into a coma. I like that Andy Anderson always wears one.

Like, lately the only things that make me smile or happy in any way are Tim Robinson generated content or skateboarding content. Everything else can gently caress off. This is everything I need and love though.

I like his origin story of being a city worker who couldn't be seen at the skate park being a typical shithead teen skater. He's the helmeted superhero we need and deserve.
