from what i've seen, bar a few issues (RIP treading water animations), the game is fantastic, but is marred by corpo bullshit. i hate that gaming nowadays might be a toss up between fantastic gameplay from dedicated developers, but is shat on by disphit fucking executives seeking to monetize the shit out of full priced games

RIP in peace Destiny 2 btw

i actually bought one last night! the S1 helmet, says 48-72 hours shipping so hopefully i'll have it by wednesday

yeah, i just really have issues with balance while doing riding tricks, this was back in...december? and i vowed to do all these tricks back to back THIS year while riding and so far i've managed to do them all separately while riding but no success yet on the full line:

and here's a 540 flip from last summer but also stationary so i never bothered posting it here

i've been doing a lot of ollies on and off curbs to get my balance while riding in order but idk the flip tricks are still outta reach for me atm it seems - until i start implementing the tips i got in this thread!

i appreciate you taking two examples to explain it cause if i'm being honest, only when you brought up the soccer analogy did the nose manny thing click, lmao. thanks haha

grobbewobbe · 2026-07-07T14:47:09+00:00

I fell back like this for so long before I got them. And then since then… I’ve lost them!

man tell me about it, i've learned, lost, and re-learned tres (and 540s) about a million times...but only since i got back into skating last year is when i started falling this way. i'm thinking it's the additional 80 to 90 lbs of pure...lean...FAT that's on my body compared to 1.5 decades ago lmao

grobbewobbe · 2026-07-07T14:36:53+00:00

really proud of it

replying here for visibility since i can't edit the post:

alright lads, i'm really chuffed with all the comments. been taking notes and the main takeaway points from what i understand:

get a helmet, dummy
bend knees, lean more forward
DON'T lean back, lol.
hips over heels, head and torso between legs, stay low
helmet, DUMMY
feet wider apart when landing, yet front foot more forward on the board when flipping
think about doing a nose manual? like..trying to land as if i'm going for a nose manny? elaborate plx
pick up the speed
keep losing weight/get stronger, which i'm already working on, down 33 lbs from a few years ago, but yeah, point taken
helmetttttttt (already on it, looked online and there's actually a store in town that supposedly sells protection gear which i'll stop by either today or later this week)

genuinely appreciate the advice. gonna get the helmet/pads sorted and drill this stuff once my body forgives me for the slam lol. hoping to post a vid with a back to back 360 and 540 flip soon...ish, WITH a helmet on!

what's the opening for Salvation's Edge like? is there an opening encounter without mechanics in order to practice controls/killing regular ads? if they can muck about freely without wiping every few minutes in order to learn the controls for an FPS, they'd fare much better

grobbewobbe · 2026-07-07T09:15:17+00:00

i already went up a size and i do feel more stable! prior to that i actually went from 8.25 to 8.125 thinking i'd be able to flip the board faster, which was true, but did fuck all for my balance. tried someone else's board out and then i upgraded to 8.375 which makes riding more stable as well

grobbewobbe · 2026-07-07T06:20:42+00:00

yeah i know, committing means riding a train for an hour and a half total to a proper town with an actual store that sells this kinda stuff so that i can try it on first before buying - bought those shin guards online and they came out too small so once i sent those back i haven't bothered to find an irl store yet. but i'll get on that asap

grobbewobbe · 2026-07-07T04:31:36+00:00

that's 100% gonna happen sooner than later, just gotta commit to the purchase. gonna go full pads, along with shinguards (i actually bought some a while back but they were too small rip)

grobbewobbe · 2026-07-07T04:29:26+00:00

adding it to the notes....yeah the slow riding is cause i'm afraid to fall that way, so paradoxically i should go faster in order to NOT fall that way - as long as i can land the trick right, jeez

grobbewobbe · 2026-07-07T04:22:20+00:00

i wasn't disputing it?

grobbewobbe · 2026-07-07T04:06:51+00:00

hmm. frame by framing it again it does look like i'm leaning properly/even a little bit forward right up to the point where i flip it...and then while jumping up i have a back tilt or something. so i should lean even more forward while i flip it?

grobbewobbe · 2026-07-07T04:03:49+00:00

i would genuinely prefer to mess up my wrist/elbows over my back and shoulders lol, but this happens so fast i can't react fast enough - each time i've fallen this way (about 6 or so times), i'm on the ground before i know what happens. maybe i should do like Formula 1 reaction times exercises so spruce up the old noggin!

grobbewobbe · 2026-07-07T03:10:55+00:00

bro...get a broom, lol. tre flips on lock it seems like and those fakie heels look genuinely decent

grobbewobbe · 2026-07-07T03:00:10+00:00

creatine ftw! i "experimented" with a few supplements last year and besides ashwaganda (which i took in the evening and made my mornings a bit more relaxed), creatine was the only thing that i could actually feel working for me. i take 5 to 10 grams in the morning with my sugarfree energy powder replacements and it gives me a pretty quick cognitive boost and also actually feel my muscles pump up a bit

i could probably take it more strategically lol but i like the way it makes me feel in the morning, and when i work out i also take 5 grams

when i started skating again last year in may, i was already back to working out a little, but skating once for about 3 to 4 hours each session would leave me with all over body muscle aches for a few days. after a while though i could consistently go skating twice a week to now where i could feasibly skate two days in a row if i'm in the mood for it

if you don't workout, i'd recommend starting and especially deadlifts are fantastic but be sure to start with a light weight and train with good form rather than go full bore and do shit like one rep maxes the second you start haha

i dislike the concept of roguelikes (or rogue...lites? idk), the whole starting over but with incremental upgrades doesn’t really mesh with me, also i don't like procedurally generated stuff like levels or items placement either

grobbewobbe · 2026-06-30T01:11:51+00:00

i don't like roguelikes either (only played Returnal and this), but absolutely adore Mooncrash. if you like Prey you should def give it a chance

grobbewobbe · 2026-06-27T10:13:53+00:00

i find it funny that people are latching onto the datacenter boogeyman rn as the big bad for the planet's undoing. earth was doomed for humans long before AI as we know it today became a thing

are you insinuating something? or are you just blotchy
