bump this shit by the way im confused as fuck
Fugg thats what happens to me i push perfect goofy but i suck ass at placing my back foot on the board but i turn easier regular but i suck ass at pushing regular, im an experianced skate boarder i started when i was 16 and am now 23 still shreding i cant ride or pop any tricks riding switch so i push mongo and pop tricks regular im currently practicing to push regular, its hard as fuck but im getting better at it
Same fag here, op what do you prefer to pop your board with left foot or right foot?
bruh im turning 23 like next week, and I haven't popped i literally bought a skateboard yesterday, but ive been riding longboards/surfing for about 6 years now
>now that i think of it though
i think it would be easier for me to pop the board with my left foot
Then push goofy, just practice turning slowly and ride on streets and turn corners so you get more familiar with turning and shit
What ever you do DON'T push mongo on a skateboard its a bad habit and hard to get out of it it took me almost 8 years to stop mongo pushing and im still working on it now
learn em both, it'll be helpful later on for landing switch.
just choose the one you like to cruise with the most
lmao, imma bout to eat shit all over this city, but thanks man
FUCK MONGO, im not about to get into that shit on a skateboard, i wanna be
>styley
i guess ill stick with goofy for now and work on my turning
but out of curiosity too, my right foot is definitely stronger, i feel more balanced/in control of the board goofy, i guess because i rode mongo for so long, so goofy it is right ?
Diffrent fag here, because ive been pushing mong for 7 years my right foot is better at balance but im shit when it comes to riding goofy,turning,poping the board thats why its hard for me to push regular because my left foot isnt used to being on the board so i have to force my self into pushing regular
Used to skate back in the day, I was decent had all the basic tricks down. I got in a car wreck and busted my legs up pretty bad, after getting the casts off I started skating again but had to push mongo because my shit was still fucked up. Stopped skating when I went in the military. Fast forward to now my daughter wanted to learn to skate so I got us both decks and started showing her the basics and I have a bad habit of still wanting to push mongo. I can push with either foot but I get more speed mongo, my back ankle doesn't have full range of motion so it's harder to get a good push. I can still do most of the basic shit but lost my kickflip and switch is no good at all.
shit same story, except i guess ill be keeping my right foot on the board riding goofy, because i feel more in control
My name is Aaron Kyro, and I'm a professional skateboarder from the San Francisco bay area.
I watch him sometimes he's a really good skater because his name is arron kyro and he's a sponcored professional skate boarder from the sanfransisco bay area
most of his videos are pretty entertaining
Stand still. Take one step forward, your first foot is your front foot on the board.
regular dude
Why the fuck do you think it's called regular?
You know you're in Sup Forums with a bunch of 12 year olds when people start appreciating him
Choose a stance, either regular or goofy. You should probably choose goofy bc if you can balance better then learning to turn should be easyish. Just get confident enough to cruise around and then do a lot of that. Then learn ollies, pop shuvits etc
Goofy is all good G. Or reg.
But never mongo.
If you persist and get into the culture then it's likely you will learn both eventually. But do whatever feels comfortable unless it's fucking mongo.
I really want to see Gabe and Lance having hardcore anal.
Hey OP, I surf and do downhill longboarding. Mongo pushing is good for downhill, ask me if you wanna know why, it takes a bit to explain. What I'll normally do is push switch, which makes my pushing normal and not mongo, when I ride around town to avoid being made fun of for being mongo
wow dude. I've never actually seen somebody wear down some wheels like that
Yeah I've gone through many. Doing big slides
what the fuck dude? is that like 200?
what kind of bearings do you use?
lemme guess, ceramics?
Dollars? Yeah close. I got a set from a friend, and 2 other ones were Christmas presents
If you're gonna do tricks go regular, if you won't it doesn't matter.
Nope only zealous. $13 and last forever, and I've smoked people on ceramics
this
Speak proper english you airhead.
Agreed
abec #?
Honestly people should never need ceramics
Abec doesnt matter its how you take care of your bearings
mongo when switch is only acceptable mongo. and its definitely less stable to push mongo. just learn to push with your right foot and consider your preference to left foot pushing an advantage to skating switch.
>i hate filming lines with mongo switch pushes
I recommend you stay on goofy.
I think the turning will become no problem in some weeks
What state are you from?
The stash
They don't give a rating for zealous, but for comparison, I've ridden Abec 7 and bone redz and I prefer them a lot more
I ride zealous too actually, gr8 bearings
Zealous master race
What kind of longboard do you ride?
I have a board from a polish company called Alternative boards, it's 42.5" I think. Website: alternativelongboards.com
I have it set on some Paris v2 trucks with some butterballs and the zealous. I forget the grip tape but it's fucking rough and really thick. Got it about 3 years ago, havent ridden in a while though. BTW I'm sure I have a very specific board so if anybody here that longboards recognizes it, you know who it is.
It's vicious griptape
Good shit, do you go through wheels very often?
I'll throw you some walmart board bearings and see how you like them then. Shut the fuck up.
I have always pushed goofy. In my opinion you won't need to change your stance unless you are planning on going pro. I would just keep going like you are, I think being comfortable is more important
Paris are so damn good. I used to only ride calibers but then I swapped
Not often. It took me about 6 months to kill off some tracers, but in my defense I was swapping between 3 sets of wheels
>ITT: Dongboarders and mongo pushers
>ITT: Wrongboarders and mongoloid pushers
>ITT: Faggots on land surf boards and kooks
>ITT: Kids who think they're cool for ruining wheels and kids who think it's cool to have scratches on the bottom of their board
Sorry guys, I'm out.
I have a friend that rode paris, then calibers and now precisions. HOLY shit those precisons are good.
(you)
I might get aeras soon
Haven't heard of those, will check them out
What's the quickest you've cored a wheel?
Their stuff is amazing, this isn't my longboard, only to show off the trucks
Digging the color scheme on that though
4 sessions. Vault fibreflexes
>friends all go to college way out of town
>be me
>piece of shit never going to amount to anything, go hangout a weekend with them in their dorms
>some of them skate so we went to the skatepark
>meet some lads that let me crash at their dorms
>super cool focused dudes who like being around me
>been couch surfing and skating everyday for the past 2 months and gained a small reputation around campus and I don't even go there
Most people call me that skater guy when I go to parties or "that homeless dude I hear about"
Damn
Yeah. I just killed them yesterday. My friend ate shit and cut her leg up bad
Whats wrong with Aaron?
In my opinion, he's like the equivalent of an Instagram page that posts stuff about Sup Forums. The Instagram kids, normal kids in real life, try to enter Sup Forums, in this case skateboarding, and skateparks become packed with newfags, or kids who don't know how to skate
I'm gonna guess the white wheels are "these" wheels, and the bluish ones are hawgs...
Am I right?
Whites are volantes, and yes the blue ones are hawgs
Gullwing sidewinder II's anyone?
They're really fun for carving, wouldn't use them for fast riding though
They're super easy to break into slides... Even with these orangatang "in heat"
Yeah they do have a shit ton of lean
i ride spit fires i'm saying abec from real skating companies dont matter if they are some unknown brand its shit ride more bearings enough to know about them so shut the fuck up
Califonia, in L.A.
>ride surfboard goofy
>ride longboard goofy
>ride skateboard goofy
>right handed
I guess my body just liked right
Rate the longboard deck I made m8s?
Not finished, any ideas for trucks for a pintail?
try this Scientologist skateboarder faggot out (hes a Scientologist) dont let that discourage you
he provides some pretty simple tips.
i dont skate. i surf. but im thinking about getting a longboard just for pump practicing
no ur just normal faggot
8/10 would skate on looks sick
>op is back
i spent like an hour fucking around with stances, im going to just do regular, and work on pushing, because its so much more comfortable maneuvering the board
>in sf skating at 2 am, fuck the neighbors lmao
i got gullwing sidewinders on my longboard, some nice shit i tell ya
yeah ive been watching em since before
So basically you're 14?
im actually 41
OP is your name liam
youtu.be
Watch it you porch monkey retard
jeff is that you??
>jk
that name is too basic for me, its not liam
Oh alright. There's a really famous Longboarder from the bay named Liam and he just started skating
I find regular is really great for general cruising and tricks. Right now I'm trying to get better at mongo. But I suggest regular
shit teach me how to skate and be cool looks like fuck everything but regular and switch
HOW FUCKING DARE YOU SK8 MONGO, SK8 OR DIE FAGGOTZ S8 OR DIE!
Why are you learning to skate mongo?
I have no idea. Just want to be able to do it. It shouldn't matter to me though because I ride excellent regular already and I've learned to do ollies shove-it's and pop shove-it's but idek
I hate anyone who doesn't use grind kings. Also, quit OP, you sound like you suck.
The heck are grind kings? Some brand of trucks?
>Mongo
Holy shit wot a faggot
this makes alot of sense, his voice and mannerisms are annoying as fuck
i cant quit now, im going to turn to scientology to hlep me be a better sk8r
How is that being a faggot, skating isnt about how you look while you skate, i bet there are mongo pushers that maul grab and are better than you at skating
Its gonna become a bad habit my dude
Yes nigger. Fuk iz wrong wit chu boyyyy?
