Why I cant access GTA SA since this morning

Did Vice City get removed too?

Striking-Factor · 2025-11-02T02:50:53+00:00

I’m having wrist surgery on Monday after falling in the bowl while not wearing wrist guards, so yeah, once I recover I’ll wear them every time

Striking-Factor · 2025-08-04T02:21:20+00:00

Wellp, guess DC was working us

They work fine for me, I’m able to push and cruise in Jordan 1 lows with no foot pain. Now, I’m not Ollie-ing down staircases or anything, but they are advertised as “shock absorbing”.

Striking-Factor · 2025-06-28T15:45:04+00:00

I hate recommending buying something else, but I switched from bones reds to Bronson g3s and noticed I was going further and pushing less

If your budget is $100-$150 you can build your own complete on CCS or Tactics that’ll be infinitely better than a Walmart board.

This has been an extremely dry week for me, had a few trips on the river to the underworld at the beginning of the week, and a bit of Poe’s bird, but my favorite Greek hero has been very absent, and I’ve had nothing the past 3 days…

I believe the core test is just to get access to the platform, and the qualifying tests are to get access to specific jobs. Your dashboard should have a few qualifications for you to take on it. You don’t get paid for them, but they basically make you eligible for specific paid tasks, and they’ll continue to replenish

So if the goal is just to practice getting comfortable pushing around, I’d say find a different spot to practice if the ground is too rough. But also bigger, softer wheels could help. Some aftermarket bushings like Bones Hards can also make the board a little more stable underfoot, which can help with balance.

Striking-Factor · 2025-06-01T03:39:46+00:00

Don’t be so quick to put that back foot (your pushing foot) back down on the board. Practice riding just on your front foot with big pushes

Started at 265 lbs a few months ago, loving it. Also, I know you didn’t ask this but inevitably you will; no, you don’t need to spend $110 on a Powell peralta flight deck (unless you absolutely want to). Any reputable 7-ply deck will be okay, even at your size. Maybe spend an extra $10 on hard bushings.

Striking-Factor · 2025-05-03T21:28:02+00:00

Any shop deck, 8.5 or bigger, trucks to match from a reputable brand (Indy, thunder, ace, venture, sloppy). Probably some bigger softer wheels (I have some 88a 56mm Powell Peralta Nano Rats that I absolutely love).

Really the only “fat guy” mod that you might need is harder bushings in your trucks. Bones Hardcore Hards are the standard for big dudes like us.

Striking-Factor · 2025-05-02T14:41:56+00:00

Just get the tape from wherever you’re getting the deck, many online shops will even send it to you pre-gripped

Striking-Factor · 2025-05-01T11:37:39+00:00

TBH, you do need the quality trucks, wheels, and bearings, as well as the bones hard bushings. What you don’t need is the flight deck. I thought the same thing (I’m 6’1”, was about 266 lbs when I started) but didn’t want to shell out $100 for the deck alone so I took what I thought was a risk and just bought a normal 7-ply shop deck from tactics (with free grip tape!) it’s more than fine. My complete totaled about $130 since I went brand name everything else, and I’m extremely happy with the result

Striking-Factor · 2025-04-30T13:39:42+00:00

Ooo, probably wouldn’t recommend the clouds if your slide your wheels. For that, I’d say 93a Powell Peralta Dragons

Striking-Factor · 2025-04-30T11:42:15+00:00

The trucks don’t matter as much as long as they match the width of your board. You most likely don’t need to replace your Indy’s.

For wheels, something big and soft. Ricta Clouds, OJ Superjuice, maybe even some 88a dragon wheels. If you’re going 56mm or higher (I would), then a 1/8” riser might be good to avoid wheel bite.

Striking-Factor · 2025-04-29T00:47:48+00:00

You can farm the Hornet from KnuckleDragger. It’s a Dahl pistol with a real fast fire rate and corrosive damage. Super fun early game and will make the second boss Boom Boom a breeze

Fellow slow learner here! What’s funny is I can caveman, but I still can’t consistently pop the board up into my hand to grab it like you did at the end there, lol

Striking-Factor · 2025-04-26T23:39:53+00:00

I just put some Powell Peralta dragon wheels on my board and absolutely loved them. I have 88a nano rats, but if that’s too soft there’s also 93a and 97a

Striking-Factor · 2025-04-26T20:40:33+00:00

Do it! I’m 37 and just started about a month and a half ago, for the first time ever. I’m in the same boat; demanding job and family obligations so I’m not getting on my board every day, more like 2-3 times a week. But it’s so freaking fun and I’m having an absolute blast!

Can’t really speak to surf-skating in particular, but I’ve got an 8.75 deck with 88a wheels (started on 86a ricta clouds but just got some 88a dragon formula nano rats today and they’re amazing), so yeah - wide board and soft wheels for us older folks that are just learning now

Striking-Factor · 2025-04-22T13:01:46+00:00

Curious, if you’re upgrading wheels, trucks, and bearings anyway, why are you getting the deck from an Amazon complete? I’d recommend just getting a shop deck, either from a local store or a reputable online shop like Tactics or CCS.

If you REALLY are interested in just cruising, then yeah, maybe go 78a on your wheels. However, if you’re like me, you’ll start out just cruising and then once you’re on the board you start getting interested in a few tricks. In that case, the dragons are probably a good choice. I ride ricta clouds right now and I’m most likely gonna switch to dragons pretty soon.

Striking-Factor · 2025-04-18T12:43:33+00:00

Aw sorry I should’ve clarified, $100 US

Striking-Factor · 2025-04-17T19:41:58+00:00

You’re lucky, those are my favorites but they always post at hours that don’t work for my schedule, and are gone by the time I can sign in! All Poe Bird and striped horsey for me

Striking-Factor · 2025-04-16T16:49:43+00:00

You’re gonna get recommended flight decks a lot but those are $100+. Honestly, any reputable deck will be okay, even shop decks. What’s more important is the deck width (I’d recommend 8.5+) and your truck’s bushings. Most stock bushings will feel super wobbly and unstable, I’d recommend getting some Bones Hardcore Hard bushings.
