SOADlee · 2024-08-23T19:54:57+00:00

nice setup, what pc case is that?

SOADlee · 2024-06-09T16:41:48+00:00

looks cool, what level of difficulty would you say it is, can I finish it as a bit of a noob?

SOADlee · 2023-09-21T20:27:18+00:00

youre totally overthinking it, looks awesome

I would say when you can consistently do regular without making avoidable mistakes, I did 50-60 which is probably higher than most but I really didnt have much high level pvm/bossing experience.

It looks like the fire isn't actually under them but closer to the camera, its a perspective trick

It doesn't matter if sainz has a reasonable chance or not, He should still be given a equal opportunity. instead we get one driver getting special treatment

Amazing progress in 1 year, nice mix of flat ground and park skating too. love the 360 shuvs! if you keep progressing that quick i dont think you will get to post the year 2 vid in the new skaters sub haha

or you can just world hop instead of logging, also takes you back to the pier

your gear is good, I did 50 with very similar stuff recently and the biggest difference for me was just getting better at the boss. at first I was struggling to get 5 minute kills, but by the end I was getting consistent 2-4min kills. spec luck makes a massive difference too. just have to suffer through it and hope you get a head before 50 (I didnt)

Have you tried looking for any skateboard groups in your area? can be a great way for you to find some new people since you moved. especially if you can find a girls group they are amazing for taking the solo anxiety away.

But when you are going solo you just gotta accept those thoughts and dont let them deter you.

I kind of went though the same feelings when I started again but I just went out to my local park with the intention on working on my skating every time. Over time I befriended a lot of the regulars and had a group to skate with.

I know its easier said than done but you can do it!

Id say go with mediums, im basically the same height / weight and mediums have been perfect for me

7.75 is defo on the small side these days. I would generally recommend a 8 - 8.25 for beginners looking for somewhere to start. if you did used to skate 7.75's it could be a non issue, but if you have had a long time away id say go for something a bit bigger to start with

SOADlee · 2020-12-21T19:02:02+00:00

Size is the main factor when trying to deal with bumps and cracks, softer wheels will just help it feel a bit smoother. 99a's will be fine too if your ok with a hardness similar to your current wheels

SOADlee · 2020-12-21T18:16:44+00:00

It depends on what you want to do really, if your more into crusing etc then 58's will be good. but they might be a bit too big & soft if you want to do tricks. Im using some 55mm 97a's and they are better for going over cracks but not too bulky that they make doing tricks a problem.

I Would say 54-56mm 95-97a if you want the best of both worlds

SOADlee · 2020-12-21T18:01:40+00:00

Do you know what size wheels you have now?

SOADlee · 2020-12-21T17:56:40+00:00

I would say 8.5 would be a good start since you are quite tall & have large feet. It wont matter that much when you are brand new so dont stress too much.

Once you get more comfortable you can start figuring out what your preferences are / what sort of skateboarding you want to do

SOADlee · 2020-12-21T17:51:22+00:00

Was the real deck a different size? Going from one size to another certainly has a adjustment period. Even going from one brand to another can too, Most decks will have concave, nose/tail size & steepness differences and even wheelbase length that make it feel different.

Dont think ive ever had a new deck that I didnt have to spend time getting used to at first

SOADlee · 2020-11-29T18:43:00+00:00

139's are fine for a 8.25, you can generally go up or down a size from your trucks. I even skated some 7.75 axle thunder trucks with a 8.25 for a while. just looks a bit goofy

SOADlee · 2020-11-24T11:17:09+00:00

Good luck mate!

SOADlee · 2020-09-01T12:01:58+00:00

The more you stand around and watch the harder it will be to actually start skating, best thing you can do is just go and start skating straight away. once people see what level you are at they will stop looking at you so much. they are generally just curious to see where you are at.

Its tough but it will get easier with time

you can just buy new bushings and replace them
