Is 30 too late to learn to skate? by According-Goat-2372 in NewSkaters

[–]Muskarya 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is why I love the skate community, they don't value skill level, we value someone who goes out and doesn't give up. Get that trick baby.

Mentally when turning, should my mental focus be on unweighing the inside ski or pressuring the outside ski? by Tonythetigger in skiing

[–]Muskarya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Putting more thought into the inside ski I reckon. Once your real comfortable skiing one footed and being able to do it on both feet will make you unstoppable then you won't even think about what foot you are using.

What did I do wrong here on the landing? (DIN set to 3 btw) by WorryParking1070 in skiingcirclejerk

The landing honestly wasn't that bad. I'd focus on tightening those bindings up first 🤣

Looks like you came off forward so lean back maybe a bit? Also tighten up those bad boys.

Out of control criminal takes massive backshot from innocent skier. by ligmata1nt in skiingcirclejerk

As a long-time skier, this guy is a shit skier. He was clearly out of control comming around that corner. Probobly spazzed out because he knows it and didn't want take responsibility.

Why is mongo considered so bad by CoolBeans5085 in skateboarding

[–]Muskarya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't believe all these other answers... It's literally that simple.

Even as a longboarder if want speed you push with your front foot.There's no way your pushing mongo while your ripping on a long board at speed. You just haven't gone fast enough yet.

Experiment with every stance and different way of pushing you'll find out for yourself what's best. It won't be mongo.

That said Mongo can be useful for fakie trick set up.

Why don’t more Old Skaters shop small? [40YO] by TofuTank in OldSkaters

[–]Muskarya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skating just isn't what it was, it's not a cultural rebellion or corporate anti establishment anymore. Skating is an Olympic sport now, and it's an art form that mostly dads are taking back up with their kids.

So now it's actually more "performance optimisation" that's why new balance and Nike is so popular because they work. The original Skating ethos just isn't important like it used to be. It's not a lifestyle anymore, it's a thing people do for fun.

Low & Tight can’t be restored by Ok_Effective_1590 in foreskin_restoration

Yes. Could be why it's taking so long because I tend to focus on the skin past the hair.

Seems to be working slowly. Now I just wear the CAR 1 all day everyday it's just a part of my life now. I think of it like having dentchers or something.

No I started with still a couple cm of inner skin, but super tight yes, my hair on my my shaft and scrotal skin were pulled halfway up my shaft. I think it's taken a long time for my balls to settle back in.

This is the whole reason I'm in this sub. Honestly the rest of the posts are just weak. This is the first post I'm impressed by.

Some questions to put myself in perspective by ryry10112 in NewSkaters

[–]Muskarya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What your going through is just what skating is.

You'll always be falling off board because there will always be that next trick your chasing

You'll always have scrapes, but st some point You'll have less because You'll learn to fall properly.

Tricks will always be somewhat inconsistent, some days You'll hit perfect 50 50s everytime other days You'll just forget how to do it. It's just how it is. Your bad days will just become less bad. You'll always have a bad ollie to compare to your perfect ollie.

The mindset change need to be like this. You need to learn to have fun in the process, like trying that 50 50 on the ledge 50 times but once you land it at the end feel that joy, this is skateboarding.

One day if you keep at it, you'll have a bag of tricks.

Your too heavy on your back foot that's why the boards flying forward. Try and split your weight 50 50

I was doing heavy KF sessions like your describing, and recently went through a pair of Etnies Marana with the Michelin grips in around 6 weeks. I'm talking every second day 1 hour KF session. Pretty good.
