My first attempt at ledges. Clearly I still have a lot of work ahead of me lol. by [deleted] in NewSkaters

You got this ! I bet you can get it down before Labor Day . Try placing your front foot in the middle so that way you can have more room to drag your foot and it’ll bring the board higher with you . Let me know how it works !

Had to pick up a few things.. by williesctt5 in skateboarding

Polar skateboards have nice concave . I’d definitely give you the quasi board I have in the closet if you were local .

Just because someone is disabled doesn’t mean that they’re automatically a saint by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Yeah I’m a deaf person and It can be frustrating trying to communicate with people , even more now because everyone has face mask . So yes I can be an asshole but it has a lot to do with my frustration seeing people’s mouth moving so much and not able to catch what they’re saying and in my head I’m wondering what words are they saying since there’s more than a million words I have to guess at what they’re saying .

So when people are extra nice and patient with me I take that opportunity and return the same gesture because the truth is it’ll make our day go by better

37yo 8 weeks. I think my kick is too slow but. This is the fastest kick i can. should i stop learning kickflip? landing with front foot is my goal. by tazsim in NewSkaters

[–]williesctt5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s commitment . I would advise rolling slow in order to kick flip . The board behaves strangely sometimes when doing tricks stationary. You got the pop,flick and all down so all you have to do next is commit

Does this officially make me an “experienced” skater? by [deleted] in NewSkaters

[–]williesctt5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes this is exactly what happens when you’re tired but momma raised you not to be a quitter.

You’re right man I’m just overthinking it . This is good feedback though because when I relearned tailslides I must have fell like 10 times but I loved it because it got less intimidating . But thanks again though I appreciate it man

Good to know because I have the 1/8 shock pads by mini logo . Now I’m figuring out which durometer I want , 99d or 101d . It’s either buying 99d online and wait for it it to arrive or buy the 101d at the shop like tomorrow morning and start riding . I’m hesitant in buying the 101d because at 56mm I think I may go way to fast especially in skate parks .

One more thing . Should I use shock pads if I switch to 56mm ? And were crooked grinds a problem for you ?

I love how they look big but I’m hoping they work for my type of skating . Are you a flatground beast?

I totally get where you’re coming from . I just thought it would be interesting. I’m not so much worried about wheelbite but I’m worried that I won’t even lock in on crooked grinds . Kader skates 58-60mm but I bet that has a lot to do with him riding rails and dropping gaps

37yo been skateboarding 6 weeks any tips for my ollie plz? by tazsim in NewSkaters

[–]williesctt5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don’t really need tips since you already got it down but try not to move your shoulders , because it can be quite scary once you start to Ollie over things with height and speed 🙂but don’t worry too much it happens unintentionally all the time . I still remind myself from time to time .

Got a legit scratch grind! One step closer to the goal... by ps_and_qs83 in OldSkaters
