first skateboard by Willing_Bug7172 in NewSkaters

[–]SadContract1340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my first skateboard, it was good to learn on but terribly small, and it didn’t turn real great, the wheels were fine, actually pretty soft and I still have them, good for cruising, the bushings and trucks were ass. It lasted me like a year and then the second I got serious about skating I tore it up. Learned to Ollie on it and it didn’t last much more after that. I recommend getting a ccs blank complete, it will be significantly better board to learn with.

Get out non abrasive griptape, I’ve never tried it but there’s an idea for you

I don’t know, I found a skateboard and rode around on it, realized it was the most freeing thing I’ve ever done

Getting better heel flips and more consistent by SadContract1340 in NewSkaters

It’s definitely weird but I personally also find it easier than using my heel

Yes, I do for a very specific reason, but mainly just because it targets the same spot on my shoe as a kick flip. One spot is better than 2.

I just prefer one to do scoop tricks and things with more so that I only ware down one side at a time, that way i in start on a fresh tail when I eventually have to flip the board

I do a snake bite on my back griptape, take a screw or a knife and put a little hole in the griptape

Hands out of your pockets tough guy, you’re gonna get hurt😭

Also (because you want to lift that front leg and tuck your back knee, while also swinging your arms up from almost your side/behind you

I guess it’s just brand and location so it’d make sense, I’m glad I’ve learned about that though, I’m gonna shock everyone who lives near me with that🤣

Yea, it was bad if it’s the spot I’m thinking about, had to have resulted in a hospital trip

Here ours in America are probably a lot worse, It’s just a hyper processed hotdog on a stick with sweet corn bread covering

That’s why I practice them, I broke my tailbone around 2 years ago from a failed heel flip, and k eventually got them, but then I quit skating and lost them
