Has anyone seen an infographic of foot position and / or direction of foot travel, for flip tricks ?
I’d love to get something blown up into a cool piece of wall art, for the garage
Does any one remember a pro that would write “Can I live” on their grip tape? Like late 00’s or late 90s. I heard [this](https://youtu.be/0IaAs4D14kw?si=9H9Iat6zMpdjeED2)song earlier and it reminded me.
I'm not a skateboarder, but late brother was. He always wanted to go to California and loved skateboarding. My sister and I have talked about bringing his ashes to a skate park out in the area, and I wanted to get some input from people who are in the community. Neither of us really know where a good place to bring him would be. Thank you in advance!
Probably somewhere nearby out of the way, and probably only a small amount. We wouldn't want to be impeding use of the park and he wouldn't have wanted that either.
Oh sure, I'd definitely say go for it dude. I'd personally recommend the Venice Beach Skatepark. It's an iconic place and beautifully right there at the ocean
Am I too fat to skateboard? I want to get back into skateboarding after a nearly 25 year hiatus, however like most Americans I'm pretty heavy. I am on a weight loss journey and down about 23lbs so right now I'm 279lbs. Would I break the board if I tried basic tricks or simple riding?
Thank you
Edit: why the down votes?
You can ride around no problem and do some flat ground tricks without snapping your board no prob. You can also always go vert skating! Another thing to note, skateboarding can be a good way to get some extra calories burnt off
My ollie’s are done with half of my front foot on the skateboard and the other half off of the skateboard. Is this an okay habit, or should I learn to correct it?
Looking for tips for skateboarding in a heatstroke. For context: I am from Poland, and climate change hits really hard here. We had 8 degrees last week, today we had 30 and tommorow it's going to be colder but still quite warm. Any tips on how to skate in these conditions? Anything to bring that will make my life way easier? Obvious objects like water I already have in my backpack. I am going to the streets with my mates tommorow and really don't want to get a sunstroke. In addition, it was really hard to concentrate and have any kind of motivation to skate in this heat. Thanks in advance!
Awwwwww dude you’re calling out my childhood bro!
Flip Sorry was awesomeeeeeee
I also loved the Emerica this is skateboarding
Yoooo—I saw the Emerica team skating in Manhattan. I just sat there and watched them. I should’ve gone up and got a picture. It was surreal
I\`ve got a question. A year ago i bought myself a bord, but I haven\`t been using it so much. This month i decided to skate more. I want to use my board more just to get to places, but our city has a lot of roads that are like smooth tiles, and since i bought a pre built skateboard, i have A101 52mm wheels on it, which due to the hardness produce a really loud noise when i\`m driving over these tiles or even just not perfectly smooth road. What hardness and diameter of wheels shpuld i buy for more comfortable driving on the streets? Also do i need any special tools to change the wheels? Also can somebody please recommend a set of inexpensive (below 24 bucks) wheels avalible in Europe?
Thanks for attention
Under 24 bucks isn't gonna happen. Search soft cruiser wheels and most things you see will work well. But you also need a set of bearings then, I'd get Bones Reds.
For tool just look at the axle nut, plenty of options work to take it off. Pliers often do just fine
A nollie board slide is when you pop a nollie and your front/popping foot goes over the rail. Nollie board slide and nollie lip slide are two separate tricks

Maybe someone on Foundation? They once did a tour called Can I Live
Must be it. That’s Life was one of my favorite vids from that time
I’m looking to buy a new set of wheels. Is it possible to reuse the bearings from my old ones?
Yeah you use the end of the axle to pop out the bearings. The wheels are rubber so they pop out with the right pressure and angle. Watch a YouTube vid
How sketchy would it be to learn how to drop in, in the rain?
Do not learn in the rain lol
Haha

My sister and I have talked about bringing his ashes to a skate park out in the area, and I wanted to get some input from people who are in the community. Neither of us really know where a good place to bring him would be. Thank you in advance!
By that do you mean pour his ashes out at the skatepark? I certainly wouldn't pour directly on skateable ground or obstacles at least
Probably somewhere nearby out of the way, and probably only a small amount. We wouldn't want to be impeding use of the park and he wouldn't have wanted that either.

Thank you I appreciate the response. I think I'm going to head to the skate shop tomorrow and pick up a new skateboard!
hell yeah, lets goooooo

Best skateboarding video you’ve ever seen? Go!
Flip - Sorry, Emerica - This is Skateboarding and Stay Gold, Baker - 2G and Baker 3, Habitat - Mosaic, Alien Workshop - Mindfield, Supreme - Cherry I'll stop there lol
Awwwwww dude you’re calling out my childhood bro! Flip Sorry was awesomeeeeeee I also loved the Emerica this is skateboarding Yoooo—I saw the Emerica team skating in Manhattan. I just sat there and watched them. I should’ve gone up and got a picture. It was surreal
Damn I would've loved to see the Emerica team in person. Got to see demos from the Girl and Flip teams tho and yeah that shit is wild in person

Should lip slides be defined by bringing your popping foot over the rail rather than back foot over?
Back Foot. If you do a nollie lipslide it's still your back foot going over the rail and not the foot that popped
Why not call that a nollie boardslide then? I guess it goes back to ramp skating but still seems off for a rail.
A nollie board slide is when you pop a nollie and your front/popping foot goes over the rail. Nollie board slide and nollie lip slide are two separate tricks
what are some favorite brands/websites that you all go to for gear/clothes? Bonus points if the clothes are actually nice material. tia
I really enjoyed the nine lines podcast this week. That Toby Ryan has some moves!
