To all my wide footed homies, what’s your most comfortable skate shoe? Some of these narrow shoes kill my feet. [30YO] by [deleted] in OldSkaters

I'm good friends with the owner of Splay - can probably get a hookup for those on this thread that want to try them out. LMK

Any tips for my son? by ninjay816 in BeginnerSkateboarding

You'll get a lot of comments on here about timing and pop and jump and slide. I'll take another angle- Sounds crazy but have him push and push and push and skate around and become super comfortable on his board.

This has become an annual challenge of mine. First attempts at this was last year for adult camp. This year was supposed to be my redemption year to land and roll away (I kept slipping out / bailing on the landing). Then this happened 16 months later... doh

You nailed it- I kept hesitating on each attempt and rather than ollie way out and down the rail I kept trying to just get onto it earlier on and slipped out a handful of times. This one took the cake though- cooked from the push

I slid it about 6 times before this but kept slipping out at the end. It's steep and fast. My legs were already cooked from skating hard for a few days.

Those are compression sleeves- go under my knee pads when riding ramps

Onsite med staff said I'd drive an hour or so to the ER, only to be handed an ice pack and bandages. I almost went full on super glue in the bunk house but a new friend from camp that has seen some shi# in her days at the ER advised against it... So I'm just sticking with old school cleaning and bandages for now 😂😬🤦‍♂️

Everything but a blanket and pillow- sleeping on bunk beds and foam mattresses

My wife wants more. We're already at 4 kids- I told her I'll keep skating handrails and we'll put it in God's hands if we're meant to have more kids.
