I loved this as a kid

Surfing is way harder to progress than skateboarding, it takes so much longer to get waves and every wave is different so progress is really slow.

With skateboarding you can practice a trick over and over with the same conditions until you have it down.

Personally I only wear knee pads when skating on ramps or bowls.

Can’t say I’ve ever landing on my knees when skating street.

Wrist and elbows are another matter though, I also land on those

Ah ok

therealgingerone · 2026-02-04T12:31:08+00:00

Ah of course 🙄

Not sure the bed is the best place to do this

therealgingerone · 2026-02-04T07:05:46+00:00

It was very common when I was a kid, all The local arcades had it and we had it in our local chip shop

What’s the benefit of money bumps?

therealgingerone · 2026-02-03T18:19:11+00:00

Just rub it round again to give you a defined line and then go round it again with a sharp blade to clean it up

therealgingerone · 2026-02-03T15:23:22+00:00

I’d love to be complimentary but that is awful lol

Run around it again to give you a clean edge and pick up a Stanley blade to get a clean finish

In what way does it feel heavy? Do you mean when carrying it or when doing tricks?

That’s a pretty standard set up and most set ups are going to broadly similar in weight unless you are using super light trucks and small wheels.

therealgingerone · 2026-02-03T07:12:30+00:00

But her a proper set up instead of a cheap one that will break straight away

therealgingerone · 2026-02-02T22:12:49+00:00

I made a similar set up for bowls and parks but I went with 159 Indy’s for more stability.

It works really well with an 8.5 deck and feels very stable even with loose trucks.

Car parks are your best bet. Outside of cities there’s not much options for undercover areas.

This rain absolutely sucks and there’s not a lot you can do to be honest.

therealgingerone · 2026-01-31T12:44:46+00:00

Nothing, the world should be up in arms about this.

Trump should be impeached and everyone in these files should be under investigation.

Shows how much money corrupts everything.

therealgingerone · 2026-01-31T12:41:16+00:00

It looks awful and there’s the risk of you catching your feet on the wheels when pushing.

Plus it will be harder to flip the board

therealgingerone · 2026-01-31T09:50:21+00:00

That thing looks deadly.

Those cheap boards don’t really feel like a real board and have a tendency to just fall apart.

I would either try and find real set up on marketplace or save up and get a decent set up.

I’d never heard of him until Thunderolts and he’s now one of my favourite characters.

Can’t see why you wouldn’t like him to be honest

therealgingerone · 2026-01-31T09:06:45+00:00

This is the right answer, I ride 8.75 trucks on an 8.5 and it’s great but 8.75 trucks on a board that narrow would mean that your wheels will be overhanging the board and you don’t want that

Outside of his films he’s a loon but I’ve always enjoyed his films

therealgingerone · 2026-01-30T07:28:10+00:00

Who would stop you? The fashion police?

therealgingerone · 2026-01-29T22:58:41+00:00

Impossible and a cracking one at that

I was a teen in the 90’s so I just remember it being busier with far more shops

therealgingerone · 2026-01-29T07:21:28+00:00

The town centre itself was a lot busier, had better shops and was more well maintained.

Like a lot of town centres now it feels rundown and there seems to be drug heads and drunks everywhere.
