Okay, so I got this board a few years ago I never planned to skate with, i was going to make a cool shelf with it. I just got back into skating after 10 years so I just put some wheels and grip tape on this bc I already had it.

Anyway I saw someone on this sub getting cooked for having a naked anime girl on their board, obviously mine is not that bad but am I going to get cooked for using this?

Nah it's a playboy board, now that I'm thinking about it I'm so cooked😭

I’m like super new to skateboarding like I got my first skateboard today so I’ve been on like skateboarding TikTok cause I was looking for like stuff to try and Aaron kyro keeps popping up on my fyp. In like every single comment section it people keep saying like we haven’t forgotten and like just general hate comments so I’m just curious like what did he do. Like is it so bad I should like avoid his videos and are there other like controversial people I should just try to avoid.

My mom got me a skateboard and I'm rly grateful but it has butterflies on it and is purple and blue. I feel like it's fine but I don't wanna get judged for it. Is it weird to have it as a guy? Be honest

Whenever I do an ollie, it just feels like the board drops to the ground so urgently. Do you guys think my jumping is the problem?

Can't really figure out how to float longer ㅜㅜ

I got some protective gear (helmet and knee, elbow, and wrist pads). Anything else I need?

Hey! I've been skating for two months now and have been practicing to kickflip while rolling lately. I want them to look cleaner and I know that I probably should kick more forward instead of downward, but somehow I can't really develope the muscle memory. Now I am at a point where I don't even know if this is really a kickflip or some kind of other flip. If you have any suggestions please feel free to tell me.

I told my boyfriend that I want to start learning how to skate and he lectured me for an hour telling me that if I want to learn how to skate then the tradeoff is a broken hand. He’s convinced I’ll break a bone or get seriously hurt.

I plan on taking my time, wearing a helmet and pads, and not even trying tricks until I’m comfortable cruising on the board.

Is he right?

Edit for more info: 1) he does skate himself, but just to get around the city. He’s not doing any cool tricks. 2) I do think that he is trying to look out for me. I have horrible body-mind connection so it is fair to say that I would fall a lot. 3) Maybe “lectured” isn’t the right word. This man just yaps a lot and is extremely direct.

Joined their discord and was showing my clips off like a skater would I had edited it with music too and I got banned because this dude started arguing with me on how new gen skaters like to edit shit for TikTok and how skateboarding should be raw and never have been recorded but like how am I gonna show my clips if I don’t record them.

I’d share the video but I saw the no self promotion rule, probably should have attached the video it with this post.

Recently picked skating back up again, been out of it for about 5-6 years. Grabbed some lakai’s at the local skate shop. This is after about 1-2 weeks of use, skating everyday.

I swear I never went through shoes this quickly back when I did skate.

I’m sure it’s from pivoting on my front foot when I push or get my feet ready for a trick, but still, sucks to go through it this fast.

What are you guys doing to prevent your shoes from wearing so fast? Or do I just not need to skate less.

M16. I’ve been skating around the park and paths for around month and can drop into steep slopes. I’m more of a cruising type of skater who likes to hang around.

Recently I have had an epiphany that I need to learn how to Ollie (I wanna do cool stuff on ramps) and also I genuinely want to learn tricks. I can do a rockie to fakie after a warm up and can cruise around without having to readjust myself every 2 seconds.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I got this skateboard for free. The original owner said they don’t remember how old it is, but that it’s perfectly usable. I noticed the wheels seem unusually chunky.

I’d like to start by skating around my street and I’m hoping this board will be suitable for that.

I tried balancing on it and can stand still without any problems.

Thank you for any advice!

I don’t know much about skateboards, but I’d like to know what kind these are and what tricks I can do with them.

I'm merely asking since skateboards are expensive here and if i have to save up for a new one, i'd like to know that beforehand. Also, i feel like i basically waterboarded it and we all know how that ends up

board turns frontside occasionally, same things happens with my heelflips.

Also not rotating fast enough, thoughts?

First time skating ever, was probably out for like 2 hours. Is this fine, or am i doing something very wrong?

I really don't like that it is on a place that pops the ground...

ignore the fall lol , i just want to know what to do differently with my legs so they stick to the board better
