>>253It's too late. You're already a faggot.
>>253Have the body of a 16 year old and don't be 23
>>253don't try stuff that is too dangerous like jumping big gaps or rail alone, if you skate normally everything will be good.
YESSSSSSS ITS ABOUT FUCKING TIME SO LONG WRESTLERFAGS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA you cant its inevitable, you need to learn to fall and take slams
>>253Helmet, pads, tuck and roll.
also how how long have you guys been skating im going on almost 20 years
>>253I love this guys art
>>253You literally can't lolIf you skateboard it WILL happen. You just don't know when.
>>253That maid's about to eat major shit. That's most definetely a broken wrist right there.
>>328Based
Can i at least avoid destroying my teeth?
>>253You can't avoid it. Sorry anon. It'll happen one day.

>>1317based
>>1317whoa
>>1314but don't you get bullied for using one?
>>253Learn to fall and keep your body loose when you're riding. Drunk people don't get hurt as badly in car crashes because their bodies are loose.I wear a helmet and wrist guards because I know falling is inevitable and I don't want to break anything. And idgaf what people think because I'm not 16 years old lol.
>>1333You get bullied no matter what you do in skating
>>1317ignore that bitch OP you cool
The skateboarding maids guy is great. It's the only thing he draws or can draw, but it's still great. He has so many different works.Also >>1337
Good pics.
>>1349Not OP, just another guy dumping skateboarding meidos
I hope you fell off your bike alot or played contact sports. If you’re resilient you’ll be fine.
>>1332how i'm trying to be
epic>>1375I used to be indestructible with jelly bones but now I hurt myself without even falling
>>1382Shit. Sorry.

anime maids getting vertical is pretty sweet looking but I cant help but imagine the dress getting stuck on a wheel and the girl flying off and eating shit
Just bought my first skateboard im old to start skateboarding how long till I learn to kickflip if i hit hard?
>>1049kys yourself my man
>>328FREESTYLA
blessed skateboarding maids thread
love this guys art so much but there was never any thread or board where i could post it
>>2237Unironically want to dress you up like a maid and go skating together.
>>2260would love that
>>253who asked for this
>>2460Cute girl. Would cuddle after a session.
>>1786Kek, based
You just learn how to fall "properly" usual into your shoulder or onto your butt
>>2460I'm more amazing at the fact that a park this good is completely empty aside from that pervert.
>>2840amazed*
>>1262>faggotcoin probably rises every time you post them!I just came to check out this new board but this was a very quality post.
>>1767Probably never, to be honest.
It's unavoidable if you're going to get better at it. Everyone who skates fucks themselves up at some point, but if you keep going it is worth it. Speaking from multiple injuries and 12+ years of experience
>>253try not to personally, but when i do i get up and brush it off
>>2297Too cute.
For those of you who might be interested :https://youtu.be/jRuBpY40iyQ?t=5410(Timestamp is 1:30:10)
>>253Enjoy the rythm of it.
>tfw no 3D skater maid “gf” to hug after she falls
>>4353I would gladly be someone's maid "gf" if they taught me how to skate.
>>2462Me.
>>1386I would watch an entire Emma style series like this. Love this dude's twitter.
>>2462I did
>>2460head 2Big
>>1767Couple of years. Maybe more, depending on how frequently you skate and how long summer lasts where you live
anime website
>>2840>dressing like a weird pervert to scare all the scooterkids and rv moms away(s)he might be onto something here
>>253Just carry a deck around and pretend to be a skater boy.
Learn to roll, try skating into grass at high speed a few times and learn how to keep moving with the fall. Falling only hurts if you slam into the ground instead of keeping your momentum. Skating faster actually helps with this.Don't try a trick down something that you don't have on lock on flat.If you aren't good at flat then you're just a shitty skater, hands down. Nobody cares about you tossing your carcass down a huge gap if you can't do an interesting trick with some good style. play more skate, skate flatground more. Good thing about skating flat is you can't get wrecked.if you get a sprain then take a few days off. you're way more likely to get hurt badly if you're already hurt so bad that your normal range of motion is off and you have to do your tricks differently.just skate a lot and git gud. skate flatground more until you don't look like a kook.
>>253When you're learning a trick in skateboarding, you're really learning 2 different things. 1. How to do the trick, 2. How to bail the trick. You should learn how to bail safely before you try anything outside your comfort zone. Rails are a pretty good example of this. You've gotta bail a ton of times before you can get a consistent "safe" bail. And when you have a "safe bail" you can work your confidence up over time to dial it into the trick. By then, you'd have done it so many times you can intuitively tell when to bail and when you'll be locked in. Of course, sometimes shit happens. Misjudge your speed, try to over compensate, someone put too much wax on the rail the night before. Shit happens, and it will happen. Just hope the severity of your slam isn't too bad, and crawl your way back.
>>2460kek how tall are you
>>328he probably felt inexplicable sore the next day.
>>253That looks like the black sabbath fight from jojo part 5 to me, minus the anime girl
>>253also; wear pads
>>1767Anywhere between a day to three years if you’re skating everyday. Not that it should matter though I know some pretty great skaters who are bad at kickflipst. Skate photographer who’s met hundreds of skaters from all over
>>8644> know some pretty great skaters who are bad at kickflipsVery true. Just because you can't figure out one basic trick doesn't mean you can't be legendary skateboarder. A good example is David Gravette. Here's his nollie flips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NfDxBpEOyA
If you're afraid of skateboarding you'll never be good. This isn't your kind of sport. I've been busting my ass on a board since I was 8 years old
>>8779this guy cant even nollie flip and went pro? this never woulda happened in the 90s, back when skating was all about raw talent. I havent skated in 20 years and do nothing for or related to skateboarding but be a kook online but I bet i could nollie flip first try, wheres my sponsorship? heres a clip i found on youtube of some guy nollie flipping a stair set, why didnt he get sponsored? skateboarding is so gay these daysthis guy probably just got sponsored for his cute moustache
>>8818Speaking of bad nollie flips, Andrew Reynolds.
>nobody has ever reposted the pic of me skating bowl at night in full maid dragfeels bad
>>8818you have no idea who david gravette is. go watch his parts before you talk shit fag
>>8818>This guyThis is the single most retarded opinion I have ever seen. You know nothing. Stick to anime and videogames https://youtu.be/Yot3TghVtTk
Helmet and pads, perhaps a cup as well
>>1369based make him seeth
>>7032Nah, I did BMX for 6 years. After the first year or so you stop feeling sore after big falls.
>>1262>NOOOOOOO, STOP POSTING ANIME PICTURES ON MY FAVORITE ANIME WEBSITE
>>1333lol who gives a fuck what other people think. Your first concern should be safety anon
>>9078That sounds cool, you should post it
>>9078Sounds hot.
Be a pussy and ride with other pussies.
>>9078Bumping for this.
>>266FPBP; it comes with the territory if you do anything other than just roll around.
>>1068>that pictureReminds me of playing Skate 2 and turning 90 degrees mid-air to kick the skateboard into the face of pedestrians.
im 35y.o and stopped crashing about 5 years ago.i only try something if im 95% sure ill land it AND warmed up (rarely ever)my most recent injury came about while stretching and my elbow kinda popped and i couldnt ride bmx for two months.i mostly just sit on my bike drinking beer but i will never pass up a massive wallride
>>1786ahahhaha
>>1336we used to think shit like this was the funniest back in the day
>>13037Now that I think about it, most of the skaters I see round town seem to be late 20s or early-mid 30s. Sometimes even 40s. No kids, though.
>>3659not good enough of a skater for this to not be complete cringe
>>3659Bet he's trying to find another skater who can pump tranny.
>>3659Here is me several years ago at a Halloween party.
you learn how to fall, and so most falls that would wreck a normal person you can most likely handle and recover as you will fall a LOT learning to skate. But there are those falls that you CANT control, like a bad headslamhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtPMjvwGwno
>>253I haven't seen someone on a skateboard for a long time. They tore down the skatepark in my area for some shitty residential shit and nobody complained. It's a dead hobby for sure.
>>13540That is a great photo
>>13540This looks like a fun time.
Already we have battles between basement incels and people who go outside on this board
>>253I'm wondering this too and there doesn't seem to be a good solution to it.I am comfortable with snowboarding and going high speeds no problem. I got to try longboarding once and it seems more stable then normal skateboard but still felt really risky. You go high speed and hit a small pebble, it is all over.
>>14101jokes on you i have a flatbar in the garage. outside is no longer necessary
>>13540Which one are you?
>>14382Pretty sure he's the one in a maid outfit mentioned here >>9078 .
>>14382The one crossdressing
blessed skate maids threadim in love with this art
>>1049based fuck anime trannies
>>2460Literally the only funny skit in that livestream and it still dragged on and on.
>>15063Sauce on said livestream?
>>1010COME OUT YOU OLD BASTARD
Skateboarding maids is a really strange idea. Especially one to have this much content. Is it some kind of anime, like that one about schoolgirls with tanks?
>>15433nah it's just really sick
>>2460oh shit hey nerds I made $100 off that skit>>15350It was for the 2019 /v/GAs, /v/'s vidya gaem awards showhttps://vidyagaemawards.com/previous-years
>>15728Hah, haven't been on /v/ for a while. Almost forgot they did that sort of thing. Still skate in that get-up?
>>14363That isn't true. the bigger wheelsize on longboards makes all the difference, pebbles are usually just skipped over. if it's less than 1/2" in size, you'll notice it was there, but the super soft trucks will just twist until the wheel has to go over whatever was obstructing you. It can unsettle the board, leading to speedwobbles/deathwobble, but it usually doesn't. Skateboards and longboards ride completely differently.
>>15877The tenth one just aired yesterday actually, they put a lot of love into them and I love working with all the people involved. I mostly did it as a reference to the #Got2BRadical meme from SGDQ that nobody remembered, but of course some autists from /v/ make their own boogeymenIt might make a comeback since as many anons like >>13387 have said my skating isn't great and I can show off how I've improved, but also get fucked I was skating in a dress in January with a blindfold
>>1049kill yourself
>>253You learn how to fall once you've been skating for awhile. How else can you explain skaters taking hard hits that look like they would shatter normal people? I've taken massive slams in bowls and down stairs, never ever broken anything. Most aren't that lucky, but breaks are rare and the most common ones I've seen are from weird ankle rolls from big drops and the occasional snapped arm from catching yourself with your hand instead of tucking and rolling. Two things are important. Anticipate tucking and rolling when you fall, try not to catch yourself with your hands because it makes a bad habit. Also, when you roll your ankle, just try to fall instead of staying up to take weight off of it.
>>16341I would let you do a trick over me. I don’t mind if you land in my arms...
>>15999checkedIs there a point in learning to ride a skateboard instead of a longboard if I am not planning on learning any tricks? I like the idea of skate/longboarding but so far it didn't feel safe to me at all.
>>16658I like doing kickturns, speed checks and manuals so I’d rather get a skateboard. Its fun to ride down hills and go up driveways then kickturn back down the street, I feel like I’m surfing.
>>16341Fun night. You can't see your feet in a frilly lace dress either
>>16658longboards are faster and smoother but less versatile. with a normal skateboard curbs don't get in the way when you learn to ollie.
>>8644You in /esg/?
>>16515Sorry anon, still not gay, flattered though!>>16716Looks fuckin sick, I've never gotten to skate with a crew like that but seems like a hell of a time
>>2460>>>/lgbt/ I've got nothing against faggots but trannies shouldn't be allowed to subvert another virgin board

>>20893>>20897Thanks lads, I don't have anything against anybody else but I've usually got a manly beard and only kiss girls, the cosplay is just for funThe vids a bit old too, I'm already doing varials and bigspins nowadays. It is hard as fuck to skate with a blindfold on though
>>15035>based fuck anime trannies
>>20928I thought the outfit was just for the gag, especially after hearing you talk normally at the end. schizos here are so afraid of trannies they'll jump at anything

>>20970free love is too tame for him
>>253Make an "iron man" suit out of carbon fiber.
>>7032I can tell you don't skate. They do this shit every day so while I'm sure he's sore I doubt he's worried about that
>>253idk I am not 16 anymore
>>1767It took me 2 years of trying every day all day and night I was awake and not in school back in the early 2000s. I have some friends who learned it in a few weeks, and some people who learned it in like 3 months. But those people probably got kinda good at skating before trying kickflips. My advice is to learn rolling ollies and a few different variations of rolling shove-its (try em fakie if you have to). Then when you get comfortable with the idea of the board leaving your feet and rotating, landing back on and riding away you're ready to try kickflips.The trick to kickflips is all in the front foot flick. It is an awkward motion you have to do where you flip your foot almost completely upside down (you will find that bending your knees helps this be possible) and scrape the material of your shoe harder than an ollie diagonally toward the corner of the nose. In order to get a good flick you have to pop hard to make the board rocket a bit. Timing is key, the thing people really have a hard time with is when to time the flick compared to the pop (flick like half a second or more after the pop imo). If you flick just right it will make the nose of the board go slightly lower so the kickflip won't rocket. Ultimately at first you will suck at this but the idea is that after those things combine the tail will "suck" up to your back foot for a perfect back foot catch, then your front foot will go on second and you land and roll away like an alpha chad.
>>14363Pussy. I literally bomb gravel hills with my longboard where the rocks are 1-2 inches diameter
>>1767do 100 every morning
>>22493>longboard
>>16658I feel like you should learn how to ride a skateboard first then get a longboard, if you want to avoid hurting yourself. BTW longboards are WAY more dangerous
>>22496I started skateboarding in 2001 and I only have a longboard because a coworker sold it to me for cheap a few years back. I use it mainly as transportation to ride out to my local skate spot.
>>22496longboards are great if you know how to use them
>>22498gotta agree with thispretty much everyone i've ever known who's been seriously hurt on a board was a longboarder
>>253You can't you will pay the toll sometime. It's ok, it's never that bad.
>>20920based.>he knows
kino thread
>>925Nah, she still has time to tuck and she's eyeballing her landingshe'll be fine
>>5816>Good thing about skating flat is you can't get wrecked.this is the only thing you said that is kinda untrueesp. because combined with the concept that faster = less hard falls, and flat skating for practice is frequently done at lower speeds... and with tricks you're not 100% comfortable withyou absolutely can get rekt doing flatit is harder though
these skate maids are cuteneeds to improve the shoes tho
>>22788You're not gonma see your femur poking out ur thigh doing kickflips on flat. You absolutely can skating bowls and handrails. Your definition of wrekt is a rolled ankle.
>>253Learn how to fall and bail. This will help you to fuck yourself up less when skateboarding.Don't skate. This will help you to avoid fucking up yourself when skateboarding.
>>22498>>22514how the fuck do you injure yourself on a longboard just bail out you fucking retards to me jumping on a rail/bench is 1000x more dangerous and lethal than bombing an average hill with no safety gear
>>1333Be strong. Be useful. Don't get bullied. Use mouth guard.
>>13778> that vidthis is why you lean forward and compress your legs when you land. the dude should have kicked that out first of all, and second of all, he landed while leaning back.
>>23814Broken toe, actually.My definition of wrekt includes any injury that takes you off the skateboard for more than a couple months.
>>23824most longboarders don't really know how to bail because they just cruise & don't jump down shit but then they hit a rock going fast down a hill, get pitched and now they have a broken collar bone. i have seen it many many times. there are a lot of normalfag sports like this where everything is mellow and low impact and then out of nowhere you just fucking die. these are the same smug assholes who will harp on you endlessly for not wearing a helmet and then take a facedive right off the bike path. >jumping on a rail/bench is 1000x more dangerous and lethal kind of but you are at least aware of the danger and can be prepared for what you're getting into. compared to something like skiing where it's mellow and you never get hurt 95% of the time but then an avalanche happens and you fucking die. just last weekend 3 dudes got caught in separate slides. you hear that story over and over again every single winter.
>>24100yeah, you have a lot more control, and more importantly RESPECT for the danger you're putting yourself inwhereas with the other examples you gave, there's a false sense of securitydepends on what kinda person you are I guess... some people like being blissfully unaware of impending doom until the moment it squashes them...a lot of people are like that these days...
>>253Unironically, do a barrel roll. Sometimes I just roll a few of em out on a fall just to mediate any and all damage. Not afraid of falling from high/long stuff because of this magical movement.Also, sometimes it doesn't work.
>>26112>>253Definitely do some kind of roll. Reaching out with your hand and sort of trying to bring yourself to a full stop with it, as will be one's instinct, will fuck up your wrists real fucking bad. Bailing is a bit of an underrated skill.
>>253you dont
>>20928>skater 2b is a Hoosier>I may have seen him around campusI know I've seen those thicc green wheels
>>253You got to pay to play OP, pay your dues
>>26687I did a little bit of judo as a kid and found it helpful years later when doing longboard. Makes rolling more natural.In judo we were taught breakfalls where we'd slap the ground. What I like about this is that my instinct isn't to use my arm to push myself from the ground but rather to just slap. I've had some cuts on my fingers but no broken arm or collar bone.You'll still get fucked up if you're not wearing thick long sleeves or if you do it wrong and nail your elbow against concrete.

>>23814>Your definition of wrekt is a rolled ankle.I guess is me, I started learning how to board over the summer and in december I rolled my ankle really bad practicing a trick on flat ground, had me limping for 4+ weeks and even now it acts up if I strain it too muchI'm kind of afraid of trying tricks againany tips from more experienced people on how to work through a mental block like that? probably just have to power through and practice more

>>22493 kook buy a skateboard! Longboarders are major faggots, unless of course you can hit 100k downhill or some shit in which case I'll have a little respect for you
>>984>butter ass teethDISGUSTENG
>>33587If it's actually still causing you physical pain, you could get it checked out by a professional to make sure there isn't anything else wrong. Your ankles are obviously really important so I wouldn't try toughing it out or walking it off if you suspect it might be injured.If you're just mentally afraid of hurting yourself again then try doing some other tricks that don't involve whatever motion you hurt yourself with until you feel more confident on your board again. I rolled my ankle a couple weeks ago so BS Shoves kind of hurt to land but FS Shoves feel fine, since I've stayed in practice I just gotta wait for the physical pain to subside more
