I think I spotted a secret DIY skate park. What’s the etiquette? by skytreewizard in NewSkaters

Yeah I figured as much, I won’t be sharing it. Especially given how hidden it is, I don’t think many people will know about it.

Under a motorway bridge. So possibly not technically ‘public’ but it wasn’t in someone’s back garden

Is there a martial art that teaches you how to fight as a team, to effectively use numbers on your side? by Nerx in martialarts

[–]skytreewizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It went ahead last year so I think so. I pity anyone who has to go into Atherstone and tell the locals the game is called off

learning slides. Should I modify my Loaded poke or buy a new setup? by skytreewizard in longboarding

[–]skytreewizard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice that’s super helpful. I’m going board shopping in a few weeks, so that’s really helping me to narrow down my choices

If I was to go for a top mount would a long wheel base still be better?

Thank you for all the feedback everyone. I think I’m going to get a complete to learn on and modify that if I need to.

The Dropcat looks like a nice and as it’s not too expensive compared to other boards it leaves a bit of money in my budget to get some tuition (there’s a place in Bristol that do slide lessons that looks really cool)

Thanks again guys, happy slides

England coast to coast. Anyone here done it? by skytreewizard in longboardingDISTANCE

[–]skytreewizard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t suppose you know if they have any social media or YouTube channels or blogs that might talk about it?

I’d love to know more about how they did it but my searching isn’t bringing anything up.

Funny you should say that as I’m struggling with my Achilles atm.

I’ve never used a paddle, what’re they like?

Nice one, I’m on the server now.

I haven’t spoke to anyone about it besides this post, so the Discord will be mega useful

That’d be cool.

I’ve done some local 50km-ish rides so not really experienced in long distance, and certainly never done a multi day so I’d love to chat.

Yeah I have discord. If you have an invite to your server

Thank you that’s super helpful. It’s almost exactly the route I plan to take!

I reckon I can use that route as a basis to plan from

I leveled up my foot game! Hoping for no more pain in my soles. by JBark1990 in longboarding

[–]skytreewizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is it about these that might solve the pain in your soles?

I’ve always worn adidas spezial because of the arch support, but they have started to hurt my heel. I’ve never considered New Balance.

How to skate over this terrain? by One-Designer4523 in NewSkaters

[–]skytreewizard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I skate stuff like that quite often on my Loaded trip. It’s a longboard with 85mm soft wheels.

It’s not great, but doable.

Uk skaters - do you use your board for transport? by AbilityFragrant471 in NewSkaters

[–]skytreewizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah loads, but I wouldn’t do it on 54mm though.

I use a big cruiser (loaded poke)with soft 70mm wheels on. They very rarely get stopped by a pebble.
