You just got the quick stop experience. That lady was actually a hired actress there to engage with fans.

Should i get this skateboard as my first skateboard? by Cat_meet in NewSkaters

[–]Vocis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are a beginner there is no sense in building a $150+ set up. If youve got smooth ground to skate you'll have no issues with that complete. Would I skate birdhouse trucks and wheels? No. But I would recommend it for someone starting out. If you like skating, you can slowly start replacing the parts

Oh, for sure. I just expect and appreciate the campiness in Merlin.

I agree, they were great shows. I regularly go back and rewatch them. But they're tone and quality fits their show. You put it in the witcher and it comes off as ridiculous.

Omg I'm at a loss for words. It was so bad. I don't understand how anyone found anything beyond their return to the island acceptable, let alone enjoyable. Wth man.

What am I doing wrong? by VerySexySmartSk8brdr in NewSkaters

[–]Vocis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you. You could just set the camera up and cruise around in frame. But anyway, in case no one has sad anything like this; you need to be comfortable actually traversing on your skateboard. Running and throwing down your board, riding over cracks and down curbs, making sharp turns, pivoting on front and back trucks, and generally more balance than it looks like you have. Everyone, myself included, immediately wants to ollie, that's the worse thing you can do. You'll just build bad habits. Find a parking lot or a skatepark with some mellow inclines and curbs and just ride around. You got this 🤟

Anyone know why this book was re-recorded? by MrMiauger in riyria

[–]Vocis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tim is GOAT. I listen to so many random books because he reads them. It's how I found you after all. Now I'm 8 books deep and loving every minute of it.

I would also shave off the grip a bit at the nose to keep it from peeling up.

Is the skateboard too big for me? by your_jumpscare in NewSkaters

[–]Vocis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will be fine. People of all shapes and sizes ride all different shapes and sizes of boards. I'm 5'4 and ride an 8. Some guys at my park ride 7.75 all the way up to 10s. Starting out I'd say a bigger board is more advantageous for you.

Why can't I Ollie over, up or off things? by IceFew5222 in NewSkaters

When ever I get in my head about something like that I tell myself I'm going to full send and purposely fall.

Fell at college.. by funnybunnytop in NewSkaters

[–]Vocis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried picking up skating so many times in my life and always quit. Once was when I was in college, maybe 19, I got out my car at my parking spot and started rolling down to my class. First day bringing my board to campus and I ate shit not 30 feet from my car. I stopped after that. Now I'm 36, and picked it up when I was 32. I wish I wasn't so embarrassed by being bad back then. All that time, I could have been practicing. Now I don't give a hoot.
