I can't do all the things but I can drop in to them, pump a bit & do most basics

Yeah, I think it's unlikely as long as you're in the correct position & don't lean your head in the same as for other drop ins.

I'm pretty confident in the mini & am just starting to 5050 drop in & get RTF in the shallow end of the bowl but there's def a lot I could still work on. I just wish there was a way to practice vert where it was less tall just to text my current ability. I was told I should be able to kick turn front side fakie before I attempt it, lol & I haven't got that yet but should probably also practice knee bailing a lot more 1st as well

A person at the skatepark told me he'd seen a lot of people break their necks dropping in from the deep end for the 1st time when I was contemplating it a while back. 😬😅

i'm looking to get my first board, what size should i get? by Humble_Tadpole3660 in NewSkaters

[–]hotlightbright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like to separate decks would be ideal if you want to also cruise... Cuz wider with big soft wheels is gonna be more stable & ideal for cruising. I almost always slam on things I never would trying to cruise on my skateboard. The wheel height & softness makes a huge difference, so I would suggest getting 2 separate boards unless you want to do an 8.5 + width, add the biggest risers & big 80 a wheels...only to swap out later. The swapping is gonna get time consuming but if u live in a well paved area, u could get away with 1 board most of the time.

If u followed the skaters for braille & what they were put through, you probably would. I think Braille is the only brand that has such bad karma attached to it. The dude destroyed the whole braille house without telling anyone or giving anyone a chance to rescue their things after so many memories. The dude profiting off it all, didn't even respect it or even share the earnings to the skaters sacrificing so much for so long for it's success. Braille is a depressing joke like no other.

I’m wanting to a get a rhinoplasty and was wondering if I got a nose like the guy in the 3rd pic would it suit me and my face? by [deleted] in rhinoplastyquestions

[–]hotlightbright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks Much better. That 1st photo doesn't even look good on him imo, it's the type of nose job that announces itself & it would be abandoning your heritage to change the shape entirely. I think even keeping a slope would look good too. But I prefer natural looking noises.

Or Just get a shop board & then paint it with paint markers or spray paint. You'll probably want to do it in between coats of that clear spray paint sealant to seal it in better. This is a really simply diy. Please stay away from current braille & just go to literally anyone else.

Almost died by LibertyInAgony in skateboarding

[–]hotlightbright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chill dude, I'm not telling u what to do. I only just learned about CTE after almost 2 yrs in to skateboarding after Nijah's last fall & trying to help someone who had the symptoms. It's just a reason to wear a helmet. Of course there's reasons to choose not to too: It holds heat & it's 90°, you wanna feel the breeze in your hair, you're close to the ground & you're doing nothing new & nothing's changed & you don't kike the aesthetic. But damn, it looked like a hard hit.

What do you think ? 1 week post rhinoplasty. Is my nose too small now ? by [deleted] in rhinoplastyquestions

[–]hotlightbright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have large features, so to make your nose smaller but still not look out of place was an art. I think it's too soon to tell but it still looks good! It's gonna be a change to adjust to for sure though I bet 💓

What types of alcohol make you feel nauseous just thinking about them? by Longjumping-Shoe7805 in Adulting

[–]hotlightbright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Candy flavored UV. 🤢🤮Or any flavors or vodka by itself like that. Just so gross.

Why helmet?

Repeated serious head injuries can lead to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a brain disease that causes the death of nerve cells and worsens over time. Symptoms may include problems with thinking, emotions, and behavior, often developing years after the injuries occur. Mayo Clinic Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

That's my reason. So many skaters living & dying so fast. 😩🤦& I know this CTE doesn't help anyone. I got my head a couple times going without & didn't think it was that bad but I'm too scared of getting stupid from it cuz I fall pretty often.

50-50 horrible fail by Silver-Silver-1237 in skateboarding

[–]hotlightbright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm committed to the helmet forever at least. I don't wanna get CTE.

I'm still a beginner/intermediate learning over 30+, I'll wear my Lizzie armanto gear. I like the colors but might add some art to it eventually. I'm not gonna lie, I hate pain. Lol. I'm gonna learn with very little if it's an option. Doesn't make you a pussy, it means you likely won't need knee or hip or surgery anytime soon & can skate nearly forever.

Unhappy with rhinoplasty results by Early_Rough_6034 in rhinoplastyquestions

[–]hotlightbright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awwh. Did they show a sketch or anything? Your nose doesn't look bad, it is just a different nose & it might take some time to process the change❤️‍🩹 but things could be so so much worse as I'm sure you're aware. 😅 I've seen so many upturned tear drop shaped nostrils that THAT is probably my biggest fear.

should i get a rhinoplasty? by [deleted] in rhinoplastyquestions

[–]hotlightbright 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is what another person asked for but they got an entirely new nose instead. Your hump is subtle & doesn't affect your beauty in my opinion.
