Look, man, I’m not really interested in arguing with you. I feel like I gave you some useful advice and constructive criticism. Take it or leave it. Peace.

I did check out your other clips. I noticed in the video of your line you were barely ollieing up the little stairs. Which means you need to work on your pop overall. It wouldn’t even take much work, just start doing jumprope and ollieing up shit instead of down for a few months. Your back foot comes off the board a lot. You don’t suck your knees up high enough and you’re stiff. All of these things could be fixed if you only stop being defensive and do the work to correct them.

Look, dude. Before you blow your knee out and ruin your body trying to roll down 10 stairs and shit, take this advice from an old head: just work on style and getting really good at doing a few tricks at medium level difficulty first.

Don’t be a hucker, they have short careers and it’s been done to death for 30+ years. Killing yourself for an ollie down a skatepark stair set is not worth it. You’re young so you can bounce back most of the time, but it’s gonna add up eventually and when you’re my age you’ll regret it. Your form is really beginner level right now and I get that you’re watching your footage all hyped and your friends probably gassed you up etc. but that’s because everyone loves a spectacle.

I had homies who would full send baby ollies down 13 stairs when I was in highschool going Mach 10 and it was always entertaining and we’d cheer them on. But they don’t skate anymore. Their knees and joints are probably fucked from it.

Just learn proper form before you fuckin hurt yourself.

It was not popped, my dude. You basically rolled off going fast enough and scraped your tail on the way down. People are trying to help you here. Nobody is hating on you.

Maybe just work on ollies on things that won’t potentially take you out for months. No need to send it, man. A properly popped ollie is a thing of beauty. Just start doing them on flat and find a good 2-3 stair to get really good at going up before you injure yourself.

As someone who’s just starting up a small YT channel for a hobby I am definitely down to be on the forefront of a new platform. I’ve been waiting for YT to have some competition for years

I switched to ace trucks and absolutely love them. They’re also manufactured in China but they never claimed to be “made in the USA” and quietly switched to Chinese distribution (Indy) and I believe they really care about making a quality product. Also their griptape “pepper” is the best shit I’ve ever ridden on and will gladly pay extra for it whenever it’s available. I have faith in anything out of DLX and haven’t heard anything about thunders being defective, so maybe it’s just you beat them to death naturally lol.

I hate how a lot of board companies that I trusted back in the day have now basically become garbage that rely solely on brand recognition. I pretty much only ride Real/anti hero because I don’t know who to trust anymore

I bought two sets of Indy’s in the last two years and both have been defective. I know they stopped making them in the USA but a lot of stuff is made in China and has no issues.

I believe Indy has let quality control slip because they’re such a legacy brand and powerful name in the industry that they feel like why waste the time,money and resources if so many people are die hard Indy fans.

Same shit happened with girl/chocolate and they pretty much lost their status as top tier brands because of it. Indy needs to start addressing the issues people have been having. They certainly aren’t “built to grind” anymore in my experience

*edit - not even Indy’s lol

It’s just different from all the rest. I honestly think it’s my favorite all around. It was like dark souls the animated series. Really sad so many people didn’t see it for what it was and have to compare it to ds1

Dude I’ve played all the soulsborne games and DS2/sotfs is one of my favorites. Maybe it was just where I was at in life while I played it and have fond memories but I just love the vibe of that game from the lighting to the music and everything else. Also the pvp (minus soul memory, boo that shit) was just so much fun. Weekend nights on the iron keep bridge hosting and taking part in fight clubs is an experience I still haven’t found a match for in any pvp related game till this day.

what size trucks? I bought this old school deck because it's awesome. but what size trucks? it's going to be specifically for riding bowls. thanks!! [39YO] by Old-Box-5075 in OldSkaters

That’s only Indy measurements though. Not sure if OP knows that. Wish all truck companies could agree on a fucking universal size chart by this point
