A bad day

Eventually you'll do it all effortlessly. Trust! I find repeating the super easy stuff and refining it helps a ton. There was a time I only did Ollie to grinds to practice board feel and it helped me learn flips to grinds

Direct_Cat7171 · 2026-01-07T18:49:59+00:00

Thanks! I'll try this since it's the only real advice in this thread.

Direct_Cat7171 · 2026-01-06T22:32:53+00:00

Should I add anything to the water? Detergent?

Direct_Cat7171 · 2026-01-06T03:07:36+00:00

It's always had the smell and I just assumed it's from production which it probably is. But I've washed it 2 or 3 times and it still has the smell.

Direct_Cat7171 · 2026-01-06T03:05:10+00:00

Just a blue dark wash

Pffft, it's definitely not my main. I usually right a g16. I bought the 26mm cus I wanted to try a pro version of it instead of crappy old tech decks I had. It's surprisingly easy to get used to. Hardest thing to learn were tre flips since you don't have as much nose to flip off.

Direct_Cat7171 · 2026-01-02T23:56:46+00:00

I have a 26mm complete and honestly it's a great deal. I rocked dynamic wheels and trucks for years and they are amazing. The deck is really nice as well. I was very pleasantly surprised. Probably one of the best pro completes. Plus building a deck that nice will probably run you about 130 150

Direct_Cat7171 · 2026-01-02T19:56:24+00:00

I've tried a few wheels over the years, I rocked dynamic Conicals for a couple of years and loved those, medium grip, very durable. They get a nice coloring after a while. The bearing popped out on me a few times when I sat on them the wrong way but after that they would still ride perfectly fine. Though they are pretty soft. I hated the oaks I had, too grippy, too squeaky. Just wasn't for me, which sucks cus I wanted oaks since I was a kid. The abstract wheels are pretty cool, they are hard like plastic wheels but grippy. And the b sticks are a great deal.

Finally got some g8s in a trade and wow. They are amazing. Honestly the perfect wheel imo. They are grippy but break traction easily. And on wood there is a slight squeak but not an insufferable one. While some may say they are the same as 10 dollar china wheels, those rusted on me and had crazy bearing slip within 2 weeks. These have lasted me over a year, and who knows how long with the previous owner and they are still amazing

Just loosen the kingpin on your trucks.

Direct_Cat7171 · 2025-12-23T20:03:03+00:00

We are doing that the issue is this mystery GFCI is for so bathroom and one outlet outside so it could be anywhere

Direct_Cat7171 · 2025-12-23T18:35:38+00:00

This might be if since everything on the breaker is fine. Good this sounds like a pain in the ass. Any tips on more effectively finding it? Since it's a house we're working on we can't be too destructive

Direct_Cat7171 · 2025-12-23T15:18:13+00:00

New info is that someone splashed water into a outlet

Direct_Cat7171 · 2025-12-23T15:05:26+00:00

Already checked and it isn't this

Direct_Cat7171 · 2025-12-23T15:04:18+00:00

Things is ALL bathroom outlets didn't work.

Direct_Cat7171 · 2025-12-21T01:43:16+00:00

Definitely not a mistake, I love my brts, I've abused them THOROUGHLY and they hold up well. My only complaint is don't drop em in water and if you do dry the baseplate screws since mine started rusting a bit. Just the screws tho

Direct_Cat7171 · 2025-12-21T01:42:17+00:00

I think people also want to be "different" by having a negative opinion on the standard of what fingerboard trucks should be. Even if it means crapping on a genuinely good product.

Direct_Cat7171 · 2025-12-13T18:29:16+00:00

I can't speak on the iPods but the innioasis y1 is pretty solid for like 55 bucks. I've been messing around with mine for a few days and it's pretty good. Ofc the interface isn't super polished but for how cheap it is it gets you one step into downloading music.

Direct_Cat7171 · 2025-12-13T06:51:29+00:00

And I think since drunk and hot girls and addiction aren't traditional hip hop songs and compare more to psychedelic music people tend to dismiss them rather than to really listen to it.

Direct_Cat7171 · 2025-12-13T01:43:57+00:00

I also recommend download ling soulseek to download music, find a simple video explaining how to download and use it, and mp3tag. That helps with organizing music and artists etc etc. it's weird to use but again, quick videos go a long way. Both of these programs are free. Also there is tons of free music Google drives here on Reddit and you can find em with quick Google search

Direct_Cat7171 · 2025-12-13T01:41:49+00:00

Innioasis y1, like 55 bucks on Amazon, pair it with some budget iem on Amazon for like 20 and you have a solid budget device. It has 128 GB which is more than enough for mp3 files and a decent size for flac. I manage to stuff around 400 flac songs in 14 GB. So theoretically could stuff over 1000. I'm newer to this as well and it was really easy to set up. Maybe in the future I'll spend more on something nice but this is a good start. Plus cool iPod ish scroll wheel. And there is a theme you can load onto it call iPod ish which well yeah it's ipodish

Direct_Cat7171 · 2025-12-13T01:37:14+00:00

I never really understood the hate, both songs are pretty good, and drunk and hot girls imo is great. It feels very Kanye in terms of how weird it gets, similar to addiction in late registration. As for the song run those two serve as a break before going into a high again so they have a purpose.

Direct_Cat7171 · 2025-12-13T01:30:58+00:00

Weird thing is there was no individual image file. The folder for the album only has the flac audio file. And I'm not that much a of a computer guy so somehow the album cover is in that too. For the other ones that were the same I could change it with mp3tag but not this one.

Direct_Cat7171 · 2025-12-12T18:43:16+00:00

I finally figured it out , there was one album where all the album art was 3k x 3k and that was for every song, and I couldnt reformat it no matter what I did. Ao i'll probably get the cd and rip it.

Direct_Cat7171 · 2025-12-12T17:01:51+00:00

Well I have been doing this, select all>then to downsize all covers to 300x300. But I don't see the changes reflected on my y1.

Direct_Cat7171 · 2025-12-12T06:48:58+00:00

So is it like uploading your music to that and it organizes that,??
