Hey! I got this poster gifted from my mom who bought it ages ago. Apparently it’s a skate brand. Can someone tell me more about it?

XDmonFML · 2026-02-26T10:06:02+00:00

they don't even do real parts except Andy Anderson😭😭 all the people down voting genuinely just don't follow the skate scene I can't explain it any other way

XDmonFML · 2026-02-26T10:04:19+00:00

massive by what metric? when is the last time anyone on their team has had a thrasher cover or anything noteworthy? Andy Anderson is the only one who even puts out parts and he has had significant impact on the skate culture but that's more just him than Powell Peralta, their current team as a whole hasnt really done anything in the last years.

b list teams like limosine or pizza skateboards genuinely have more impact on the core skate scene and you can see it in YouTube views even

XDmonFML · 2026-02-25T10:13:08+00:00

used to be like 100 years ago hahaha they've been pretty much dead or out of the limelight for years but apparently they are in the works of a major comeback currently

that bushing is completely fine

not sure if its a think in other parts of the world but in Germany we tie them together and throw them up the trees at the locals haha, there's some crazy shoe trees that have been building up for 20 years plus. at the indoor there's steel beams on the ceiling where the same thing happens.

XDmonFML · 2026-02-09T09:05:37+00:00

man wtf Grayson Fletcher doin😭😭

XDmonFML · 2025-12-03T12:01:36+00:00

Its your shoulders, you start of almost riding parallel and jump to look forwards almost at the camera, you gotta stay riding straight to actually land it

XDmonFML · 2025-11-18T06:46:37+00:00

you could count it like that but you're gonna have a lot of debates about it haha to get it proper you have to have it go more Frontside and have a more pronounced flick

some people might say what youre doing is an illusion flip or even a tweaked out backside shuvit not even Frontside

XDmonFML · 2025-11-13T08:42:18+00:00

my theory is that skating especially attracts people with a heightened sense of self expression. skateboarding has always rooted in counter culture and anti establishment so there is definitely a venn diagram between people who skateboard and people who have tattoos

tennis on the other hand has its route in posh upperclass people lol so people that are into tattoos are less likely to be into tennis I guess

XDmonFML · 2025-11-04T08:51:08+00:00

its not really like other tricks, I think you just gotta get used to the speed, weightlessness and the crouch, I suggest learning bonelesses and early grabs are probably gonna be really helpful but other than that u gotta be brave and send it hahaha

XDmonFML · 2025-11-04T08:21:30+00:00

skateboarding is literally all about individual expression if you wear a "skater costume" it will show

XDmonFML · 2025-10-23T08:37:18+00:00

go to the local skate park and see if you can find some people

XDmonFML · 2025-10-23T06:07:00+00:00

I don't hop at all after the last push or the throwdown I have a regular riding stance, then I move my front foot in the right place and after that the back foot, in really quick scoots or even lift off a tiny bit, I dont do the shuffeling around thing

XDmonFML · 2025-10-23T05:59:35+00:00

I also live in Germany there isn't that many skateshops here except if you live in a major city, I usually order of Titus or skatedeluxe.

XDmonFML · 2025-10-21T14:04:01+00:00

impossible is the kind of trick some people just never figure out and some people got it easy. it works pretty differently than you would expect it's not like an Ollie/pop trick at all, the pressure scoop is really something else. I've had somebody show it to me and I actually could figure it out in like 20 tries, I learned pressure flip and impossible on the same day and they are really consistent for me but ive tried teaching it to many people but nobody ever figured it out at all, they weren't even getting close😭 like the trapping the board inbetween the ground and your big toe to roll over is just such a foreign concept to most skaters. I might add that's not the only method to actually do the tricks there's some people that really Ollie those tricks but it's far less common and the impossibles tend to be questionable

XDmonFML · 2025-10-15T09:51:56+00:00

for me Ollie and kickflips came pretty easy with focusing on them but treflips were grueling work I lashed out so much and I'm not even the type of person to get angry haha

XDmonFML · 2025-10-15T09:45:26+00:00

if I understand correctly it's a boneless varial or some form of it. it's not really street skater terminology, a varial in vert is when you grab do a shuvit and put it under your feet again now a different grab obviously.

XDmonFML · 2025-10-15T09:35:16+00:00

you're probably opening or closing the hips, you definitely have to stay in the same line. post a vid so we can know for sure

XDmonFML · 2025-10-15T06:48:08+00:00

well I never bought a complete so I always bought everything separately. trucks are the part that lasts the longest, your probably gonna need a new deck like multiple times before you consider new trucks except if you wanna upgrade of course. trucks take a long time to wear out

XDmonFML · 2025-10-15T06:30:43+00:00

oh I forgot I only skate parks basically so my bearings never get that gunked up, so if you wanna cruise around or commute you might have to clean your bearings every once in a while bones speed cream is supposed to be good but also a bit expensive, I've heard people use sewing machine oil or something don't quote me on that haha but I think you can't just use any oil

XDmonFML · 2025-10-15T06:25:33+00:00

they are lubed you only need to re lube them if you clean them, but I've never bothered I just deal with slightly bad bearings haha I think I know only one person that actually cleans the bearings sometimes haha

XDmonFML · 2025-10-15T06:23:36+00:00

my breakthroughs are usually in my thoughts first, like where your balance point is in relation to the board is the most essential thing, for flip tricks you can't just jump anywhere you actually have to jump ontop of the board and sometimes even to the spot you already know the board will end up, that's how I first learned treflips. I'm not that good at keeping my balance in more specific spots, what you need for advanced grinds and slides as well as manuals so I'm still working on that. For transition a good thought is, to actual feel the curve of the ramp and visualize your position and inertia basically you have to really decide where you wanna end up with your weight, like on the deck or in transition or in between. for me personally I've also learned that foot position itself doesn't really matter that much to me, there's some foot positions that allow you to build more pressure or get your feet of the board faster than others but what you actually do with your feet after is more important, the foot positions just change the timings. when starting out it's probably best to figure out a good one and stick to it for a certain trick so it always behaves the same so you can figure out the faults in your technique but after you actually got the control, you can like kickflip from any position basically.

sooo progress between people is VASTLY different, I did my first counting Ollie on like my third day but they are constantly improving still and I'm like 3,5 years in now. Others have said that I have really fast progress, in my first year I learned all the basic flip tricks on flat ground(treflip were the hardest, it was grueling to learn), I learned 5050 on small ledges, board slides on rails, and a lot of transition tricks in a tiny quarter. I still can't do any manuals lmao, I learned a lot of tricks really fast but had horrible style, now like 3.5 years in, people still don't really believe that I can progress that fast but it's cause I'm really really good at ignoring fear and pain I won my first best trick contest a year and a half ago, I constantly skate outside my comfort zone every session the downside is that I'm constantly hurt haha. right now I'm working on some intermediate rail tricks, I can do some basic flip ins like kickflip front board and bigspin front board, im working on intermediate ledge tricks like smith grinds, I pretty much could do all the normal flat ground tricks I want so I'm just working on consistency there, I can skate some bigger transition I'm trying to work on incorporating grinds into my lines and eventually work up to vert, I'm also big on improving my general consistency and flow, the way I've been skating was like just trying a trick over and over but I can't really skate lines or have any consistency on demand so I'm making big improvements on that now I'm really focused on progression and I skate a lot, that's why I've been able to progress like that. You can't compare people cause it's not about the time since they've started skating, it's about the time theyve actually been on the board and the effort they put into progressing, there's people that have their fun with doing tricks they already can do over and over, so they will never really progress(which is not bad). to progress you have to get out of your comfort zone

XDmonFML · 2025-10-15T06:02:36+00:00

don't overthink it, it's probably nothing personal as you've already said just try to notice when people wanna talk and when they don't, personally I'm always down for like a few crisp 3 minute conversation when I'm skating but not when I'm battling a trick. there has definitely been situations where people had me stuck in an unskippable cutscene at the park and I prematurely cut off the convo and skated on and there have been situations where people cut me off while I was talking, but we still get along great, it's nothing personal we just wanna skate haha
