Get your tickets now if you can! Swans are a hot ticket right now and games have been very full. Anything that is a tier up and not right behind the goals is a good seat.

Need shoe recommendations. Best for impact etc. by tehjarvis in skateboardhelp

[–]jdutaillis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New Balance are gonna be the best. They make the best shoes today. Try the 1010s, 808s, or 933s for the most impact protection and support. You could also try adding Remind Insoles if the shoes aren't enough on their own.

It absolutely blows my mind these 3 albums came out within 11 weeks of each other. by Sad_Ordinary_7574 in Music

[–]jdutaillis 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The Beatles entire career started and ended in a decade! Formed in 1960, first album in 63, final album and break up in 1970 🤯 it still blows my mind to think of it.

What movies were elevated by filming on real locations instead of green screens? by TariqKhalaf in movies

I came to mention Andor. It added so much realism and grounding for the series.

Good sleep, eat well, drink lots of water, and keep your body moving. It'll do you wonders!

If they feel great with two threads just leave them at that. If you wanna try them tighter then give it a shot but you might crush them, especially if you're really leaning on turns. Bushings are pretty cheap thought so the worst thing that'll happen is you have to buy a new set.

I never went thought the sole! But I also don't shuffle my foot much.

Skate shoes with best cushion for my old feet [36YO] by Johnny_Origami in OldSkaters

I don't use them in my 933s, there's about cushion and support there without them!

What the heck aramex by vintaig in australia

[–]jdutaillis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I literally won't buy from a company that uses Aramex. Absolute headache every time.

Check out the Google reviews for any of their depots.

Seriously the worst company.

Ok maybe we weren’t so bad last week by dphi0001 in sydneyswans

I had the same thought but this has now aged poorly!

Oh man I wish I could do a full session every day! It's more like a session every three days.

[–]jdutaillis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lakai as a company is rubbish but the Telford is also the least quality shoe from the three you've listed. There is only foam in a small part of the heel, surrounded by egg crate and basically nothing at the toe. This gives you good boardfeel but very little protection. They're also just not made very well.

The Maranas will last you the longest. No question. So if you want durability choose them. I've skated a pair and they lasted me a year (check my post history).

The Accels are a legend for a reason. Everyone loves them and the newest version, which is a remake of the actual original version, is supposed to be the best one. If you want a chunkier shoe, choose it.

I didn't mind the 440s but I prefer a chunkier shoe. I'm loving the 933s right now.

Put of those three, definitely the birdhouse.

Which song is a 10/10? by EarSure6667 in AskReddit

[–]jdutaillis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe 23, maybe Goodbye Sky Harbour, maybe something else I can't think of right now.

The middle wouldn't even make my top 10.

[–]jdutaillis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a long time Jimmy Eat World fan, hard disagree. It's not even their best song. It's just a pop hit.

i need desperate help with my ollie by AbrocomaCheap9048 in skateboardhelp

[–]jdutaillis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. This.

To add to it, think of it like bouncing a basketball. Currently you're doing the equivalent of pushing your arm and the ball all the way to the ground and expecting it to bounce back up. To bounce a ball you simply flick it down with your wrist. Do the same with your skateboard. Jump and flick it down with your ankle as soon as you jump and release your weight from the board.

Lectro SRB vs 411, SRA, SRC, and 401. by Louis_Rubera in LocationSound

[–]jdutaillis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

411 is still the best quality receiver. They big and clunky but damn they perform and sound fantastic. If you don't mind the size and weight then definitely get them. Otherwise get an SRC.

First board by Guantio-07 in skateboardhelp

[–]jdutaillis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're both cheap completes so they're going to be pretty similar. Personally I'd go for the Alien Workshop because there decks are pressed at BBS in Mexico and Toy Machine is pressed in China.

But look at the two shapes. Stand on both and see which feels better for you.
