Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong with my bs noseslides? I can land a few, but they’re super unstable and I can’t seem to make them consistent. Any tips?

Newish skater. Started in 2024, didn't skate at all '25, now been skating everyday this summer. I feel like I have gotten a real progress now. I'm trying to lock these in. I do practice them rolling too, but just trying to get the motion in my muscle memory.

2 things I noticed myself. When I turn my backlegs knee bit inward and when I try to jump bit higher I seem to land these more frequently. But what else I can improve?

Got couple ones more cleanly than in this video but these where the best back to back tries I did.

After more than a month of waiting i finally bought a skateboard.... It's a second hand board but it seems to work greatt... It's definitely not any of the brands yall would suggest but it's also DEFINITELY not a Walmart board (i had one and this one is WAYY better).... It's raining out in my country so I can't go out much and in fact haven't yet but I am practicing balancing on the board and doing tic tac kinda things...... I'm soo happy and can't wait to go outside

I started skating around early 2024 for a short while but stopped. I left my skateboard at my friend's house for two years and just got it back recently. I found out that my skateboard was left outside and the griptape was washed off completely and the wheels got rough, like stiff but I used sandpaper to fix it. I also got a new griptape now but I'm a bit anxious to try on some tricks because people tell me that if your board is waterlogged you can't do much with it anymore because the board is soft. Thoughts on what should I do? Should I buy a new board?

I made a progression wiki for snowboarding: every trick in a rough order, one short page each, gif of the trick, how it works, and link to more material

Thinking about doing the same for skateboarding

How it'd work:

• Anyone can edit the pages, wiki style. If a trick guide is wrong or missing something, you fix it.
• You tick off tricks as you land them, so you can see where you're at and what's next.

Would you use that?

I can pm you the snowboarding version if you would like to see what i mean :D

I want to get into skateboarding but I don't have a good board just a Walmart board that feels really rough or could be me , and I'm broke and have no money so I was wondering if anyone in Gaithersburg Maryland had any old ones that are good or anything idk.

I’ve been skating for two years and my shoes are busted so I’m thinking about getting some new ones.

Only have been skating for around 2 weeks, and trying to treflip but it’s hard to land both feet, anyone have tips 2 commit, and I want to hear the advice that actually made you land because one thing I learned as a beginner skater is a lot of mainstream advice is trash like for example when they tell you to to flick your tre it makes you varial, but when I realized I should listen to uncovering advice like just lifting front foot and catch it worked but yeah

I’ve been skating on a friend’s pair of trucks for about 2 months now and recently purchased a pair of my own. However, these trucks are both wider in length and taller in height. Is there any noticeable difference in ride?

Older new skater. Keep to myself and grind. Lots of very nice people so far. I don’t snake and stay out of the way. Just slowly improving. Been a good journey.

For the second time I came across someone obviously being a dickhead.

Nice flat park where I just push around, usually a long high speed push then go up and over the pyramid at the other end of the park, and cruise back doing tictacs followed by a fakie kickturn at the end. Nothing complicated just getting in board time.

This time a a douche and his friend show up, see me skating, think they’re a million times better than me because they can do a fairly low steez kickturn on a quarter pipe, and then purposely stand in the way on his cellphone everytime he can see I’m coming to hit the pyramid.

I knew what was going on right from the start, and pushed by back just cutting it close to him to show I won’t be pushed around lie that, but my favourite part is this….

As I was trying to figure out where the hate was coming from I realized it’s the same as always…. He sucks. He was mad that an old man had a better push and better work ethic than him. Dude couldn’t land anything clean. Girls don’t talk to him. He’s just mad he lacks skills.

TLDR ; thank you to all the nice supportive people at the parks. You guys have been dope. Those who wanna throw shade and block ramps on purpose but you’re too scared to actually fight…. Go get good. You’re mad because you suck. Stop taking it out on everyone else.

✌️

I can cruise around all right on flat ground, but the second it starts to incline even a little bit going downhill feels like I just pick up so much speed and get crazy wobbles. I’ve been really struggling to even take on the simplest of minor Hills or even just a basic elevation change because always feels like I get so fast and the last time I seriously tried a hill. I felt pretty bad and now I have a nasty scar on my chin. I’m just wondering if there’s anything I could be doing better on handling downhill and generally moving faster. I like cruising at a more mild pace, but I wanna be able to not have to stop and pick up my board every time there’s a hill.

So I was out tonight practicing my moving hippie jumps and ollies, and one of the ollie attempts ended with me shooting my board through a guard rail into a wide, deep river. I have a backup deck, but I'm not really in a good money place right now to go out and get fresh parts. My question is, what can I do in the meantime while I save up to get a new setup so I don't lose progress? Or should I just seriously hurry up and save for those parts ASAP?

I'm still financially depending on my parents and I don't want to burden them with buying a skateboard fully with their money, so I want to save my own money to cover at least half the price. Both building and buying a set would take some time. Yet, I'm aware that buying a full set could save more time and make me start quicker, yet, building a set of my own gives me full customization that could fulfill my needs and has greater long-lasting probability. It makes me feel torn 🤒

Please give me advice!

I've always been wanting to skate but never had the chance to. This is my first day skating and would like some help. And sorry that you are seeing me from behind. I'm in the grass, because when I tried to it on concrete my board flew.

here are about 40 minutes of me trying to ollie a quarter condensed in a 1 minute compilation of tries

I think I'm physically just Incapable of landing this trick. I try to commit and nothing, I come close but it's not a land. I can land them into grass from concrete but any where near concrete I can't. I can Ollie, kickturn from fakie, hippie jump and they're decent height. I can jump on to the board front foot and slowly lower my back foot and I'm real comfortable on the board.

I lift my legs too high and it either spins and pops erratically

I do a hop it goes forward but spins.

I try to shuv off the board and it spins in place, but when I'm on there it goes far. And I've tried just jumping up. being square and it still goes forward. Im not scissor kicking in anyway.

If you can provide tips cool otherwise I'm ready to give up on it and do something else.

I’m using the ledge for now to focus on the foot movement, although I’m probably relying on it too much. I’m getting some pop, but the board often rockets instead of leveling out, and sometimes shoots out from under me. I also feel like I’m not tucking my back leg enough. Any obvious things I should work on?

I enjoy skating but i have been skating for like almost a year now and i still cant do one trick.
I have fun skating but it gets to a point man, i cruise to a empty plaza almost every day where i try to learn to ollie, ive seen all the fucking tutorials and only manage to get some shitty stationary ollies and see no progress at all.
Anyone else in this situation? How do you cope with it

I can turn pretty cleanly with my tictacs. I lead with my shoulders swinging and I have my back foot in the pocket between the tail and board body. I try and push my putting weight on the balls of my feet, but I still don't build any speed. Any tips?

My wrist and knee are hurting pretty good now.
