>but still dont remember shit how the slip out happened.
You have a concussion anon. That you're even slightly unsure of what happened and that your vision went funny, if just for a moment, is a classic sign.
I happen to be an expert on this subject, I've had 4 concussions already and one was so bad I was rushed straight to the hospital :DDD

I think about skating every day. A few weeks ago I walked by some kids skating and I couldn't resit being that one cringe "I used to skate too" kook and asked them to try a board. Landed some tricks too, which baited me into thinking I can skate again, but my knee hurt for a week straight after. Didn't even jump any stairs.

>>174740
>wagecuck
>had no time to skate for two whole weeks
>frustrated with the gay wageslave life went skating ASAP
>starts raining literally as I'm done warming up
>summer and hot so I'm like fuck this
>I NEED to skate
>rain stops after 20 minutes, wait for another 30 to dry out because it was hot as hell
>get impatient and start skating in the wet regardless
>do a baby front 180 up a manny pad
>I don't pivot my 180s, I fully rotate
>I also have new wheels (fuck bones) and that combined with the wet results in a powerslide in the opposite direction of where my momentum is
>left (popping leg) knee gets twisted like a bitch and snaps
>it's over

You can imagine that if I fully rotate my 180 and stomp it into a powerslide, but was going fast at the same time, the forward momentum, combined with the sideways momentum form powersliding, and my legs being planted to the board, since I'm fucking sliding and can't bail out, would result in my knee getting twisted in a way it shouldn't twist. If I was a pivot faggot this wouldn't have happened. I would have powerslid forward and fallen on my ass.

>>174683
>How? Did you slip out and fall backwards? How heavy are you?
i landed straight legged and slipped out. i thought id catch myself with a hip landing but im a noob still and was unprepared to skate on smooth concrete with 101d wheels. the asphalt and rougher concrete i usually skate on let me feel if the board is going in a direction sooner than just doing it if that makes sense. im only 155.

>>174550
Is it broken though? It just looks like a very bad sprain? Take a month off you'll be fine

>>174550
If you haven't already, go to a fucking dr, man. If you heard a pop it could also be ligaments/tendons tearing, not just a break. You do not want to find out later that you can't walk properly anymore, while also knowing it could have been prevented if you had just gotten it checked out.

>>174555
Go to the doctor. If that heals with an improper set you're going to walk fucked up the rest of your life.

Messed up feet leads to bad: knees, hips, lower and upper back.

Go to the doctor faggot.

>>174772
Damn, that sounds brutal. I appreciate the breakdown. I recently sprained my foot to the point I couldn't walk for a couple days. I had it looked at and luckily didn't have any serious issues. Similar to you I was too eager to skate. I didn't warm up like usual and tweaked my foot landing primo on a kickflip over a kicker to kicker. I'm still recovering and I find myself thinking about injury a lot more. I'm desperate to get back on my board, but stories like yours and others have me thinking about how better to approach it to reduce my risk of injury.
>>174779
How bad was the concussion? I've never hit the back of my head skating. I did tear up my lip faceplanting when I had braces as a teenager though. It's crazy how quickly the ground can come at you if you aren't prepared for it.

>>174828
I'm glad your shit wasn't serious bro. At least you tried more of a real trick than me. I got my life ruined on a eyes closed warmup trick. To make it worse it was the worst pain I've felt. That shit hurt insanely bad and I swear I'm no bitch. I'm staying there holding my knee rolling on the ground in pain and literally nobody in the entire park gave a shit. Just one kid came to leave me my board and that was it. After probably a whole minute of squirming like worm I got up and some faggot had the audacity to tell me to just rub on it. I'm in shock still and almost fainted. Hobbled over to a bench and sat there for like 10 minutes. It hurt a lot but it kind of lessened and I thought it wasn't that bad. I couldn't accept it was literally over. Fully delusional still, probably have a high tolerance to pain idk. I hobble over to my car and drove to the store to get groceries before going home. I didn't my shopping in the store leaning on the card and riding it basically. My knee got super fucking warm so that was covering the pain a bit and I thought I was maybe ok. I don't wear skinny pants and at the register I notice that my left knee is entirely filling my pant. I go home and take them off, my knee is swollen like a bitch. I sit down for a bit thinking I'll decide if I need a doctor in the morning before it started hurting like a literal bitch again and I noticed my range of motion is literally fucked. I drove myself to the ER and a nurse saw me get out of my car asking me what happened. Dude straight up said nah bro I can tell it's bad, you shouldn't be walking, and put me on a stroller straight away. Worst day of my life probably.

>I didn't my shopping in the store leaning on the card

Literally stressing so bad I type like I'm having a stroke lmao.

>>174828
physical exam says im fine and my ct found no bleeding so im not dying which is alright. the first two days i felt intense depersonalization thinking my previous memories werent real and sense of time just flying by which slowly is getting better. the last 4 days my focus and attention is noticeable worse making be constantly backtrack and im talking like i just woke up.

I already quit skating but these stories make me never want to step on a board again, especially since I have no insurance

>>174856
Want me to make it worse? I'm a yuropoor and we have "free healthcare". In the ER they just drained all the blood from my knee with a bigass needle, which was a nightmare mind you, then gave me some pain killers, anti inflammatory pills, and crutches (my ROM was near zero). Next day I call the free healthcare shit to get an appointment set up. Woman on the phone probably left bad or I don't know because I sounded like I'm done with life. She set me up at the most expensive clinic in town (allegedly the best). I go there in a few days to get checked. Dude goes yeah it's fucked, you need an MRI. I go at a third party clinic for an MRI, which takes ages of you staying still in a coffin basically. I go to the clinic with the scans CD for a second checkup. Doctor acting sus as hell. Talking about how he can't open the file, how the image is too blurry, how this place where I got my MRI scan was trash, and he can't diagnose me. Then he did some retarded tests on my knee. Retard literally started twisting it. Hurt like a bitch. I'm sitting there all demoralized and trusting this faggot, but then I get a grip and tell this bitch to stop. Starts talking about how it's fucked, about knee replacement surgery, transplants from cadavers, new treatment, first in the country, only their clinic does it, etc. I call the health insurance org again demanding another doctor at a different place. Had to argue on the phone for like an hour and sweet talk this bitch until she gave in. I go to the other place. New doctor opens the MRI scan file with no issues, everything is perfectly visible. I tell him what the other guy did, what he said, and the retardedass tests he did on my knee. This fucking faggot literally lied about the diagnose, and the MRI, and tried to tear my knee up even more by twisting it, and also lied about the treatment. He basically wanted to coerce me into doing some experimental shit so he can get a shit ton of money and also use me as a test subject.

>>174860
For a long time I genuinely thought about getting a ski mask or some shit and jumping that first faggot somewhere with a bat. Deadass breaking both of his kneecaps, but then I got over it after a while. Lyingass faggot piece of shit I hope he gets hit by a truck. I fucking hate doctors.

If you want to do anything with a snowskate, u have to get an expensive high quality (ambition) snowskate with the extra grip. Its also quite the learning curve. It took me a season to get used to mine but they are kinda fun

>>174882
Allegedly American healthcare is the best in the world, albeit very expensive. Don't know for sure, but in general the people that are attracted to the doctor's profession are typically self absorbed psychos. Hurr durr I just wanna save lives and help people. Like no bitch all you want is money and will even go as far as to cutting penises of skaters that go to slap, just to make a shekel. Don't even get me started on dentists. Have you guys seen how many people, especially Americans, walk around with fucked up jaws because they were coerced into wearing braces as kids, when they literally had no need to? People with awkward as shit mouth movements when they speak. Drooling all over the place, being unaware of their saliva strings. I'm glad I never fell for the braces scam. It's literally only for people with fucked up teeth or jaws.

Is 28 too old to get back into skateboarding
The last time I skated was from 13 years ago

Has any based ESG anon made a 2024 printable pdf skate calendar with some cool inspiring images they wouldn't mind sharing? Maybe we could contribute images/ideas and some attention to detail/shoop Chads could knock something up in a pdf anons could print out with 12 months/12 images. Thinking like A4 portrait mode top half cool image and bottom half each month. Maybe some ESG branding lol. I would have just bought one for like equivalent of 20 bucks or whatever (if it wasn't like 30 bucks for (((shipping/duty calculated at checkout on jbay))) as no such thing is for sale in my country. Cheers.

fuck how do I do reverts or slide the board
my wheels are 92a and it just feels like they're stuck to concrete
should I be like doing a minijump to partially unweight the board?

use 99a or 101a wheels and see how easy it suddenly becomes.

I am 29 and i went out skating one time and pulled my muscle
still can't skate a month later

just be careful and warm up real good

its almost two weeks now after my concussion and my insomnia still hasnt went away. doctor gave me an antipsychotic called quetiapine for sleep and all the side effects and stories about it dont seem positive, so i used benadryl instead but that isnt good either for sleep. i thought i would be skating again soon but my brains perma fucked instead.

I typically only see kids on scooters, so they get a pass for being oblivious cause they're kids. In general I think "serious" scootering looks really silly. It's also magnitudes easier to get good at than skating, bmx, or fruit booting.

Skatepark denizens go other Skaters >> BMXers >>> Fruitbooters >>>>>>> Scooters

That said, I typically only go to parks in the morning or early afternoon on weekdays, so I only ever have to deal with 2 or 3 people.

Yeah, maybe I don't fully grasp the difficulty gap between the two. I just think BMX looks cooler than blading or scootering. There honestly isn't many bikers at any of the parks I go to so I haven't been snaked by them.

If any beginner anon wants an autistic breakdown of the best way to learn how to ollie, let me know. I've been through the process over the last year, going from shit, unstable ollies to ollies that I often get compliments for. I took notes along the way and would be happy to sum them up for desperate anons looking for a routine to follow that will get you there. It's all still fresh in my mind, so I still remember all the dumb mistakes that stopped my progress and I might be able to explain how to fix it, and probbaly do it better than people who have it nailed and just tell you to commit.

>>175971
Agreed desu. The downtown spots are always a million times better. Think of the marble plazas...

>>175973

>>175973
lmao fuck off

Do you guys have tips on avoiding injuries? Late 20s and starting to feel it. Just been skating for about 1 year

>>175991
Stretch and stretch constantly?

>>175973
Terrible advice. Young people should be exploring life to it's maximum while they can. As you age your free time dwindles and responsibilities pile up. When they finally are in the grind they'll have a hobby to fall back on and enjoy.
>find hobby that makes money
Dumb. For monetary independence young people should focus on any consistent pay check and learn how to budget and invest now, so in 10 years they can reap the rewards of what the rest of us didn't do. There is no reason an 15 yr old can't flip burgers for 10 years and be a millionaire by 25.

>>175991
starting to feel what? knee pain? back pain?

wear good shoe insoles like sofsole orthotic or the vans popcush
don't get greedy with tricks
progress iteratively don't skip steps
take video of yourself and analyze what to improve on
learn to powerslide if you havent already, both frontside and backside, on various surfaces to get a sense of how much force to apply to lose and regain traction. you will learn to respect slick surfaces and ride them with caution

>>175993
I do normal stretches since I play other sports and hit the gym occasionally (mostly upper body). Are there any key or niche stretches I must know?
>>175995
I fell and hurt my knee. Also the shin pain is bad but it’s temporary. I changed vans to hi and it has really helped my ankle.
What about as for falling? How to fall better? Also
When olling down higher surfaces what would you recommend to protect the ankle?

>>175996
>power yoga

>>175996
>What about as for falling? How to fall better?
most skaters who know how to fall optimally wont be able to tell you how, because they started so young that it's purely innate muscle memory.
since you started past your teens i would recommend practicing whatever they teach in parkour, so id watch a bunch of parkour videos or go to a beginner parkour meetup and emulate what they do
if you can stomach it, go to the hallofmeat instagram and learn from mistakes people make there. it's an underrated resource because people make a LOT of the same mistakes. one example is opening your shoulders forward when doing a 360 flip, and when they land towards the front of the board they zoosh out and whack their head. if they never opened their shoulders they would have fallen on their arm instead. sweep your spot clean of any pebbles if you're gonna do drops.
>what would you recommend to protect the ankle?
learn how to kick your board away from you so you don't land back on it. that's how most ankle injuries happen, when your foot expects to land on a flat surface but gets nudged by your board being in the way.

labelling boards as reddit or 4chan is silly, but the Powell flight deck is all I ever see on r/newskaters. Yes, lurking there is rage baiting myself. It can be funny sometimes. It's usually overweight dudes thinking they need a special board so they go for the flight decks. So Creature 4chan anon isn't entirely wrong.

>>176010
I would go 8.5. I wouldn't waste your money on the flight deck. Just go for normal BBS wood. Take a look at the Slap woodshop directory and find a brand you like that uses BBS.

what do you fools make of these contests? What other spots should be resurrected? I think Carlsbad would be sick.

>labelling boards as reddit or 4chan is silly

No it really isn't if you think about it. Reminder to all cucks in here that unironically the most important thing about skating has always been being cool and saying fuck you. It's been that way since day one whether you like it or not. I sure as fuck am not skating some gay corny shit like a powell deck with their gay corny youtuber crew. Gatekeeping has always been a part of skate culture as well. Basically anything I don't like and think is gay and corny equates to reddit, and if you have an opinion that can be described as reddit, I'm gatekeeping you. Creature on the other hand looks cool as hell. They're OG. They skate hard. Very easy for me to give them the 4chan (the place all reddit and slap fucks come to to try and fit in and be cool) stamp of approval. Pussyass with your powell deck fuck outta here. Anyone that disagrees clearly doesn't skate or has been casually doing it for a few years at most.

Guys I have bad news. I went to the local today because I wanted the new Static video. Apparently they only ordered two copies and they already sold out. I asked if they were going to get more but the owner sort of just shrugged at me.

Stop being niggers and purchase a deck the white man way... Go to the shop and ask to see up to around seven boards you could see yourself wanting, now put them on the carpet and stand on them and pretend like your doing moves, pick the one that feels best for you. The only way to find what shape and concave you prefer is to stand on the deck and compare. Stop buying decks like a uninformed nigger

It's literally the same as a normal board but replacing two plys with fiberglass, how is that a gimmick

>what a load of shit
Obviously it isn't indestructible, but if it can be fine being ran over by 3-4k pound vehicles, then what's the problem?

>>176100
They've been doing carbon fiber plys forever. I had a Flip board that had them and it snapped just as quickly as every other deck I've had. Anecdotal I know. Maybe they've gotten better, but I don't think its worth spending more money when wood will do you just fine. You can buy whatever you want though.

>That's like saying urethane wheels are a gimmick after steel and clay
We don't have carbon fiber decks everywhere because it doesn't respond the same as wood. If everyone switched over to it then you know its legit. Companies have been dicking around with carbon fiber plys for decades and none of it has had wide spread adoption.

Shops usually have shop decks in that price, that's how much boards cost now so you would have to find a deal online if you want a pro board, pro boards and shop decks are the same

Skaters have to bang trannys as a requirement? Man you guys really are fags.

Would it be a better investment to just buy a deck and pick out my own trucks, wheels, and bearings?

I think one thing with older skaters when they are getting into it or just starting is now that we have money, we want to spend like we couldn't when we were kids. I was close to falling for the flight gimmick myself at one point.
Soon you'll learn it's better to spend that money trying different brands, shapes, sizes throughout time instead of having one indestructible board that you're stuck with and ends up sitting in your closet because you want to try something new.
Even if you're a big fat fucker, a regular ass wood board can handle a lot. Look at skate videos and look at how grown men are throwing themselves off big gaps or stairs and landing back on their boards just fine. Surely a wooden board can handle you trying to roll down your driveway.

why can I ollie when standing still, but not when rolling?

Because you aren't used to doing them with momentum. You need more practice while rolling.

Meanwhile you have people trying to learn how to skate for the first time in their 20s or 30s. Anyone who started early in life should be stoked.

I'm going to make a new thread in a few minutes because I feel like it.
We don't have to wait until the thread is so old. We can do whatever we want.

Do it the thread is done

words cannot come close to how much i fucking hate every one of you posting here. absolutely fucking infuriating reading your stupid fucking questions and shitty excuses for banter. i can smell when i encounter someone that frequents these threads and you have no idea how close you are to getting your throat slashed. the way you talk, your choice of filler words in passing conversation, your mannerisms, your accent, your lack of balance, your attire, your trick selection, your warmup, your lack of ability to gain knowledge from observing which is the only fucking way to progress, your all of it sucks so fucking bad i cant do anything other than pity your pathetic existence staining this earth. fuck you all and die as soon as possible
