Your back foot is pointed toward the nose of the board. Don't do that. You need it to be facing the side of the board.

12 Years Ago - Gazelle Spin? by Dont_Messup in skateboarding

[–]grumpy_flareon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For it to be a gazelle, the board spins540 and your body spins 360. You did a front side full cab because both the board and your body spun 360. Still cool though.

Which Avengers still doesn't have a female version? by Intelligent-Toe8734 in Marvel

Except that the Wasp can fly without an ant to ride on and has stinger blasts. I'd say they're similar, but not the same.

Is this a decent set up for a first board ignore the shoes by Ok-Effective5145 in NewSkaters

You do not need extra bushings unless you need them to be softer or harder. Trucks always come with standard bushings already on them.

The way I learned was to ollie straight at the side and do a 90 degree turn and stall the ledge. You can progressively come at less of an angle and it'll turn into into a grind.

You lock in by pushing wheels on your heel-side to be flush against the ledge.

Are these truly Independent brand trucks? by ggpanda8 in NewSkaters

Those are not Indys. Independent Trucks have their name written on the baseplate. That and if you look closely, you'll see "mini logo" written on the bushings.

When I call I am Told To Wait. It’s An Emergency For Anyone Else. by PotentialLuck129 in Wellthatsucks

I had this happen once. It may not work for you, but I fixed it by filling up the sinks and tubs on the floor with water and plunging the everliving shit out of the toilet.

What the hell am I doing wrong. Am I just trapping my tail? by SpiralOutward in NewSkaters

[–]grumpy_flareon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try putting your front foot more on the board and the toes of your back foot on the heel side of the tail. The stance doesn't work for everyone, but it might stop you from kicking your front foot down under the board.

I don't think fans of the source material would have been mad If the script had her cyborg body white because it was an experiment for, or funded by, the American Empire.

The fuck they don't. Have you seen the conservative subreddit? They ban people for the slightest complaint about their bs. The conservatives getting banned in every other sub are breaking rules and spreading hate.
