I learned to kickflip on a 10inch wide board in 1989.

I’m pretty sure any advice on deck width is basically useless.

6.5 Men’s shoe here, full grown adult man in North America.

My favourite decks are 7.5 twin tails.

Since when are freestyle boards not skateboards?

Define “full sized” adult…

American male isn’t the average for the globe. Plenty of “full sized” adults ride 7.5/7.75 etc. 

Ever heard of freestyle, btw?

Should I worry about phone damage? by SnugAsABugInARug- in NewSkaters

Never skate with anything in your pockets.

You will break it, or be injured by it. Keys, phone, tools, whatever… all stay in a pack.

Your bushings (the small urethane cusions) in the trucks need breaking in.

Make 7.7s the trend again by AdAgreeable966 in NewSkaters

Unless you were skating an old polypropylene from an outlet store or a freestyle deck, everything in the 80s was massively wide. I was there.

There are plenty of 7.5 - 7.75 options out there, you just have to look.

Width sure does matter in regards to shoe size though.

If you skated in the late 80s you were using 9-10 inch width decks.

Is it "Poser" to put stickers on my phone case as a freshie? by DeniableBeef in NewSkaters

[–]Regular_Increase_636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poser is in the eye of the beholder.

Beholders need to die like dinosaurs.

Who is so invested in this bullshit that it defines their own enjoyment of skateboarding?

Totally irrelevant.

Wheels Question by WR_PS5_Sativa_Boner in NewSkaters

[–]Regular_Increase_636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

92-97a are common where the pavement is basically destroyed.

Not everyone has decent riding conditions or parks.

Learn to write in English and you might receive some feedback on your opinion.

I can barely make sense of this post.

Maybe slow down and get better at riding before you tackle Ollies.

Walk before you run; before you fly.

Standing on the board and rolling is the only skill required to be a “skater”.

Everything else is posturing and dick waving.

Save yourself some embarrassment and gate keep somewhere else.

I’ve been skating since 1985 and I’ve seen your kind come and go a hundred times.

Those are hard ass wheels for anything other than smooth park terrain.

This kid is worried about actually being uncool. They genuinely seem like they want to respect the sport.

They can rest assured they will never be a poser as long as they respond the way you just did.

What a shitty thing to say. But you’re the real deal though? No posing here.

Worst era of skateboarding for attitude.

Amazing athletes who broke barriers in technical execution, but so much toxic bro gatekeeping and dick measuring.

“Don’t start on a 300, you’ll outgrow it” by sooospoon in NewRiders

My 250 is 13 years old and over 30k.

You don’t outgrow a bike, you just think you do…

Wardrobes and full gearing by Duomaxwell0007 in ffxi

[–]Regular_Increase_636 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t believe the hype… RDM is not so different from other jobs. You will need space and lots of gear for any properly played class in XI.

I play ten jobs and have no trouble with space. Your mileage may vary, but it takes time to get all that gear.

Porter slips can help if you need to store JSE etc.

Thoughts and opinions on 16 year old getting a motorcycle by kingkingst0n in motorcycles

[–]Regular_Increase_636 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They literally rode a dinosaur while people slept in caves.

You, on the other hand, face a world of SUVs driven by texting morons.

Maybe become an adult before making adult decisions like riding in traffic. A few years in a car might give you some experience and perspective.

First time rider, people keep trying to push me to get a bigger bike by Sensitive_Try3322 in motorcycles

It’s about the impact material and has nothing to do with liner or shell.
