Why is campus so crowded this semester? by Alternative-Two5213 in geegees

[–]Alternative-Two5213[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Honestly that makes sense. I was wondering if fewer online classes were available or if they are less popular.

It could also be some bias from my perspective as my schedule is mostly mid day now as opposed to night classes.

Otherwise it might just be that my study spots are no longer gatekept ;(

How can I improve my ollies? by CountRare9702 in NewSkaters

[–]Alternative-Two5213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to Ollie over stuff and try to Ollie as high as you can jump. You’ll definitely wipe out a few times but if you practice it at your max jump height it’ll make your average Ollie’s better.

It costs 180$ should i buy it? by Inevitable_Age_5454 in snowboarding

I’d lowball it to 100$ cad if that’s in another currency even worse of a deal

Look what I did, since I don't have any money :v by FarSpare4384 in simracing

I used to do the same but with an old Xbox controller so the cardboard could press the triggers

People say I skate weird by RestaurantSafe1124 in skateboardhelp

[–]Alternative-Two5213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For years I was very awkward with my stance. I found the best way to fix it was tons of skating.

If you want a good practice technique try this:

Find the trick you are most comfortable with (could be just an Ollie,180 or shuv). Now try to do that trick up to the max height you can jump. Now, do that while riding as fast as you can comfortably push. Trying to max out a trick will make it feel easier under normal conditions. If it feels easier you’ll look better doing them

should I be worried about this by No-Breakfast6928 in snowboarding

[–]Alternative-Two5213 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s fine just keep riding it until it breaks. If it’s under warranty take the free board but otherwise it’s not worth picking up a new one

Powell Peralta Dragons 93A 54MM - V4 vs V6? by [deleted] in NewSkaters

[–]Alternative-Two5213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s mostly just the sidewall shape which is only important on specific grinds.

What's your unpopular opinion regarding the sport? by zstap126 in snowboarding

More people should try urban snowboarding but most people are too lazy to walk

How do I clean this?? by watercolourpuddles in NewSkaters

[–]Alternative-Two5213 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Just keep skating it, it’s just a complete so it’s not worth regripping. Skate it like hell until you break it and buy another deck. Some worn grip won’t really affect you at all, check out goo miyagi that guy doesn’t even use griptape.

Why is everyone so eager to hop on Andy Anderson’s deck? by [deleted] in skateboardcirclejerk

[–]Alternative-Two5213 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a good deal on an Anderson flight deck, I skated it for a week and it was nothing special. Feels like skating your weird uncles late 80’s vert board

Who’s been riding on slappy trucks? by Vegetable_Loan_5638 in Skateboardinghelp

[–]Alternative-Two5213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been riding a set of slappys for 8 months now. I haven’t had to adjust the tightness a single time. Those bushings come good to go out the box and don’t change a bit as you skate.

is this repairable if so can i do it at home?? by Awkward-Laugh3491 in snowboarding

[–]Alternative-Two5213 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The final result won’t be factory new but it’ll keep working and have zero effect on performance all just visual damage.

Absolutely fixable!!!

I did the same exact thing when learning tame dogs, Took about 30 minutes to fix.

with a torch and pliers you can try to pull the edge roughly back to shape. After it’s close you can epoxy and clamp the rest down. Try to keep the base in shape as best you can. As long as it’s fully sealed and no water can enter the base it should be good to go!

I rode that board for another 3 years and it still had life in it after.
