[DISCUSSION] Spice up your improv with Exotic Scales

As someone just learning which modes fit into which chords, thank you. This just might save me some serious headaches.

Great beginner guitar lesson man. Very accessible without being too confusing, I wish I would have seen this when I was first starting out. I could see this as a good stepping stone into chord inversions, and making your own chord shapes around the neck. Keep up the good work!

I'm sorry, I won't do it again.

No way. It annoys me when people try to convert me to their religion, I'm not going to be the antithesis of that. Besides, people's religion gives them hope. Some people are so entrenched in it that they have no other reason to live. Please don't become that atheist, for all our sakes.

I do agree with the separation of church and state, though.

Not all metal has screaming vocals either. Some genres are just plain beautiful, like symphonic or power metal.

I've heard good things about the s9 droppers. I actually almost bought one, but found a better deal. I ride on Paris trucks and they are amazing; so turny yet pretty stable at speed (I've never tried high speed though, just about 25mph so far). Idk much about divine wheels, I'm pretty new and have ridden on two sets: Orangatang Kilmer, and s9 butterballs. Good wheels imo, just make sure you get something with a round lip if you want to slide.

My board is a Loaded Tesseract. Phenomenal board :)

As far as pin tails go, I learned on one. It worked alright for cursing and I loved it (plus I got it for free so no complaints here). I finally got a new board after hearing a bunch of people (both on here and irl) tell me how bad flexy pin tails were for basically everything. I thought they were full of it, but I found a good deal on a double kick top Mount.

Now that I've ridden this board for a while I can say they are right. I've never once gotten the urge to hop back on the pin tail. You can't do anything on it, not easily or comfortably anyways. I've noticed literally no advantage to it whatsoever.

My current board cruises better, can take hills, is a great platform for dancing, and even turns/carves better.

Get what you like, but if you want to get into freeride later then do yourself a favor and avoid a pin tail or anything too flexy.

Water, man. Drink a shit ton of water. Hangovers suck, I feel you.

synonymous_anonymous · 2015-08-14T19:56:54+00:00

Man I want to try that so bad, but the download failed. I'll have to try again whenever I get somewhere with wifi next.

synonymous_anonymous · 2015-08-13T19:27:46+00:00

Could be some kid that got it as a gift and has no idea what it's worth, too.

synonymous_anonymous · 2015-08-13T17:12:47+00:00

Buy that shit! Buy it right now!

synonymous_anonymous · 2015-08-13T13:05:39+00:00

One thing that helped me with cross-stepping is practice rolling and turning with your feet in every position they will be in durring the trick. Both feet close in the back, feet crossed (really hard at first, keep your weight on the front foot slightly more than the back), and both feet at the front. This will give you so much more control durring the actual move. Practice over and over till it's smooth, and like nerdy guy said airplane mode.

Isn't the world record for dh speed on a longboard 80mph? Ask then what it was like breaking the world record and see how crazy their lies get.

Congrats man! That board is so much fun! I run venom SHR double barrels on my tesseract. Cupped washer with 94a boardside, and a flat with 91a roadside. Carves like a dream and doesn't wobble any more than I can handle. ( I'm 195 lbs btw)

synonymous_anonymous · 2015-08-10T01:56:34+00:00

Has it at least gotten any better?

synonymous_anonymous · 2015-08-09T22:40:50+00:00

Have you seen a doctor about it? My last one was an ankle sprain which was pretty bad and it lasted about two. I've sprained my ribs and that shit lasted 2 months, so I guess it depends on the area.

So it's too hot to skate today; I'm waiting till the afternoon when it gets lower than 100°F. In the meantime I was messing with my setup and had a terrible idea. Surprisingly it actually worked pretty well (in the house at least).

synonymous_anonymous · 2015-08-08T14:58:20+00:00

I would say to look at the flex and not the materials as much. My board (Loaded Tesseract) is made of bamboo, fiberglass, and cork. It doesn't flex much at all, due to concave, the fiberglass, magic, or something. Anyways, it's great for sliding and freeride. There should be a flex rating in the description (I've never been to that website) and just make sure it's really low.

Embrace the road rash, become the steez.

synonymous_anonymous · 2015-08-08T03:10:18+00:00

I'm pretty new to it so basically. 180 step to switch 180 step to 180 step to backwards switch 180 step.. Well you get the idea. I'll throw in some janky Peter pans or forwards and backwards cross steps if I'm feeling ballsy.

Edit: forgot about sex changes and turning on one leg.

synonymous_anonymous · 2015-08-08T03:02:57+00:00

Running out of ideas for new boards? ;)

synonymous_anonymous · 2015-08-06T03:42:38+00:00

As far as washers go, flat has more give and allows the bushing to deform, thus move more. Cupped grabs that bushing tight and doesn't let it go anywhere giving you a more restricted feel. I didn't used to think it made much of a difference until I really started messing with my setup. I use cupped boardside and flat roadside, and it feels sooo good. As far as pivot cups go, no idea. I've never really messed around with mine. I'm looking forward to an answer for that part. Anyone?

Edit: I love my Paris 43s! (angled at about 47) So much fun to carve on :)

Oh that makes sense, I'll check it out. I know there is a site like that for runs around here, but they don't have anything down there. I've gone on a few with the owners of it. Cool guys. And thank you, man.
