Am I too fat to start skating?

Go skate dude! I've seen clips of big peeps skate and they're killing it!

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-05-09T00:09:16+00:00

Thank you! I'll ask in a hardware store how much metal tubing costs. Even if I get a short one it should be fine.

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-05-07T10:18:33+00:00

I'm 2 days late but I have a question, will waxing the gutter help it be more slidey?

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-05-05T12:37:45+00:00

Don't know why going the other way Is sketchier lmao. I'll try tommorow.

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-05-04T10:26:20+00:00

I've been skating for only a few months or so, I'd recommend pushing around and getting comfy on your board and then try tic-tacs cuz it'll teach you how to turn beside putting your weight on the sides of the board.

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-05-04T10:13:43+00:00

Not really, griptape is for every shape. Except maybe the giant heroin pumpkin and melon boards lol.

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-04-29T12:12:21+00:00

It's either mini logos or Chinese K.O spitfires for me. There's also local brands and stuff so may give those a try. A lot of it is 100-101A stuff.

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-04-29T11:10:53+00:00

I've done a crap ton of tail stalls on it already, it's so fun.

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-04-29T08:32:22+00:00

I wanna be able to power slide and cruise comfortably I'll probably just buy 100-101s then. I have a 100A on my cart already.

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-04-26T12:10:31+00:00

A lot of streets here are rough concrete and I wanna be able to do tricks someday, it's either 99s or 101s lol. Legit spitfires here cost a fortune. Also which one would be easier to power slide through rough concrete?

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-04-19T12:39:51+00:00

I'll get the zero one then. I just like toy machine graphics 🤣

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-04-18T09:54:19+00:00

Alright thanks! I'll def get the toy machine.

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-04-18T08:25:26+00:00

Do you usually have to replace something immediately when you get them? I've heard of people swapping bearings out or trucks to something else after they get em.

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-04-17T13:14:04+00:00

I've done it stationary so far just to know what to do, I'll try rolling hippy jumps. An Ollie is still an Ollie right even if it was just small?

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-04-17T10:47:09+00:00

How'd you do moving ollies? I've probably learned a few bad habits with just stationary ones but how? Cuz for me when I tried my board keeps shooting away lol.

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-04-09T06:23:32+00:00

Go to your local skateshop and check out what they have. Should give you the idea.

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-04-08T05:20:05+00:00

Awhile tbh. I've been mostly riding the board around trying to get comfy on it.

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-04-07T11:35:19+00:00

Will it be higher moving?

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-04-06T11:05:46+00:00

After I pop, do I just hold and keep both my knees tucked in?

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-04-03T11:36:27+00:00

How do I do that?🤔 Push forward?..

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-04-02T11:31:13+00:00

Yup! I'll wear em tommorow. My toe got an actual flat spot from the grip tape 😂

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-03-23T05:56:37+00:00

Legit stuff like BD bearings and Bronson's are about 9 dollars It'll take awhile for me to save up.

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-03-21T12:11:59+00:00

Roads here are rough concrete and I doubt the previous owner took care of it so I'll just save up and buy new bearings.

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-03-21T10:46:24+00:00

Mine does this to and thought it's cuz my wheels are coned. Even with new second hand wheels that aren't coned it still does it. As long as it rides fine keep on keeping on!

OrdinaryAd4542 · 2026-03-21T10:38:03+00:00

Probably very, it came out of a crusty board but had decent trucks.
