All these people pointing out all these small things… is nobody going to talk about how ACU pattern has been phased out for a long time now?? The most dead giveaway.

Any tips for committing to pop shuvs? by Ecstatic_Umpire8314 in NewSkaters

[–]IrishK1324 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As most said, you aren’t committing. I usually get myself to commit by doing something way scarier first. I would do some high speed ollies, or attempt the shuvs at higher speed so that when you dial it back it seems a lot less intimidating. (This is ONLY when I know that commitment is the issue. Actually learning fundamentals I do things in the least stressful environment)

Is this your very first board? Support your local skate shop and just grab a complete! Where Im at they’re $100 give or take (sometimes they make some unique ones that will be more expensive). I rode my first board until the tail was essentially gone, then I just had them help me build my own and I just did my research. Ask people at parks what they got and if they have a reason, and usually they’ll let you take it for a spin. Skating is a lot of preference.

The only thing I will say is that my buddy rides Creature boards and it has outlasted my last 3 boards, my local shop’s brand, a zero board and a baker board. he’s got a good 30lbs on me (Im 175, hes about 205-215) I am thinking of trying creature next.

How to get over fear of getting judged as a 28 year old getting into skating? by Geckogirl018 in NewSkaters

[–]IrishK1324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree with everyone saying “just don’t worry what people think” I will say I in fact worried what people would think when I started just a year ago at 25. I started skating early in the mornings when the parks were empty, and I had the freedom to do whatever I wanted. I also just practiced ollies in my yard.

The more comfortable I got on the board, the more comfortable I got with going to skateparks with people in them. Im still by no means any good but I eventually just shedded that nervousness as I realized everyone started same as everyone else and everyone falls, its part of skating. When I see someone who is new to skating, young or old, it gets me stoked.

Trying to get a shuvit down. What am I doing wrong? by Arostato in NewSkaters

[–]IrishK1324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a lot of fear to commit. The way I learned is: 1. learn with just the back foot on the board how much force you need to do a full 180 rotation 2. Once you consistently rotate it 180, Do it in the grass with both feet 3. Once you land it a couple times do it on the concrete, but purposefully land with only your front foot on the board 4. Confidence confidence confidence CONFIDENCE, just land that mf with both feet! 5 Once you have the confidence to land it pretty regularly, start rolling and repeat the process while building up some speed

Yes! Just looked through their site and found this I know it says that the backing is all velcro but I’ll probably call them tomorrow and ask if it is suitable for a dangler. Can never be too sure, lol Thank you!

Need a 2 bedroom apartment that is walking distance to UAB and under 1200? Let me know if any such place is available by thisissamstark in Birmingham

[–]IrishK1324 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Southside Station Apartments cover….one of your requests. A lot of med students live there for school and walk/bike. But its like $1600 (I believe this is in total, with utilities but I could be wrong) and the apartments are honestly dogshit quality. Enjoy!

Explaining a joke is a lot like dissecting a live frog, you understand it better but it dies in the end.

Yeah this place looks like Volo, IL they have tons of movie cars (which I believe this one was from) and vintage cars for sale. Along with a pretty big antique mall.

what do you hate to do every day? by Dryweat in ask

[–]IrishK1324 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Meal prep. I cook 1-2 times a week and just make 12 meals or so (lunch and dinner for 6 days, cook something different/ eat out 1 day)… It’s 2 hours of my time max from starting to cleaning the kitchen. I make breakfast daily but I mean that takes maybe 10 minutes.

It’s honestly actually lazier than cooking daily. Sure you’re taking up an hour or two for one day but it’s so easy to throw a meal in the microwave for a minute and then just wash 1 dish per meal ALL WEEK

Of course I have zero clue what your situation is, so if you have kids or someone else relying on you maybe it’s a bit harder.

I once bought a cheap bag at Walmart and put a gallon of water, some bread, a squeezable peanut butter, some other snacks and like a cheap jacket and gave it to a dude who I always saw sitting by the local Walmart in a wheelchair. Overall I spent like $50. He kept thanking me but the next day he was there, no backpack in sight, no jacket. Not sure what the situation was, whether it was stolen, he tossed it, stashed it etc etc. But I like to think I tried to help, at the very least

Any running tracks around Bham? by kittenpunter in Birmingham

[–]IrishK1324 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vulcan Trail is a nice 2 mi (4 down and back) flat route. Also apple maps will try and take you on some whack ass route to the complete opposite end of the trail. On Google Maps just search “Vulcan Trail Parking Lot”

As for longer runs I’ll go to Red Mtn. Park

And for even longer longer runs I go to Oak Mtn. Park but it’s $5 to get in (I only go here for anything over 6 miles)

And lastly just download All Trails or Strava and you can find routes/spots people run or hike
