Hey skaterats!!! What are you riding?

Just decided to get back into skating a trick board again after 12 or so months without a board (excluding my mini stereo cruiser) and picked up a Complete Element set up. Was a bit hesitant to start skating again but fuck it, it's a good time 
So anywho what decks are fellow shroomsters riding? what tricks can you do ect.. I'm pretty mediocore with a fairly limited amount of tricks but in sayong that here's what i can do.
1.frontside 180's down stairs and banks
2.pop-shuvits the same as above
3.Boardslides down flat rails
4.5-0 grinds on quarter pipe railings
5. Indy, tail and nose grabs when launching off quarter pipes or banks (have to try adding 180 rotations to these, see how i go)
and thats pretty much it, still haven't got kickflips down which is a bummer but one day soon hopefully. So now what do the other shroomites got... Besides scrapes and sprains

Landyachtz pinner. I used to try fucking with actual skateboarding but it makes more sense to ride big-wheel in the city I'm at. The sidewalks are shit here.

I recently started making longboards out of old water skis (easily procurable at any thrift store). It's incredibly simple, and the result is a killer longboard that's only a couple inches shorter than me : D Not great for tight turns, but a blast for cruising!
It's as simple as stripping the water ski of it's foot holsters and drilling 8 holes for the trucks. I like to position the trucks in such a way that I can pop wheelies on both the front and back nose. I kept the metal fin attached to my ski, and I'm hoping I can find a way to make sparks fly out from the board as I ride it! (Heh heh- I probably just need to go about 30-40 MPH!)
But yeah, I highly recommend building one for yourself. All it takes is a phillips head screwdriver, a drill, some grip tape, extra long hardware, and maybe a riser pad or two. Half an hour of work tops! And people just go bananas when they see these beasts. Ahhh! So much fun : D
XOXO to all my skate homies!!!

I have a zero board with bones bearings. I can't remember the trucks or the wheels at the moment, but the wheels are one of the harder thinner ones. I've had that board almost 5 years now and it still holds up. Though it is almost splitting at the bottom.
I used to be able to do tons of tricks. But I haven't hardcore skated in maybe 2-3 years. I can still do an ollie though. I usually just use it to ride around my city. Just hopping the occasional curb or pothole.

I like this thread. It's a shame less & less people are skating nowadays. I remember when it was cool to be a skater. The days of Sum 41 & blink 182... skating around town... trying to do tricks off of stuff that would obviously fuck you up if you messed up but not caring/knowing... I used to be considered a "skater" during middle school but nowadays I only do it occasionally. An older family member of mine got me into skateboarding. I think the older I get the more I realize how seriously hurt I can get even trying to stuff. I think that is why little kids are so good at skateboarding, because they don't realize how hurt they can get trying to successfully do obstacles/tricks.
I've had many different setups over the years but my current board is:
Creature Deck Royal trucks (white) Lucky bearings I can't remember what wheels but usually I'll go with spitfire.
When I was heavily into skateboarding I got a lot of mini-logo decks & one other brand that I can't remember because they were cheap to replace ($30 for a deck.)
The tricks that I can occasionally do nowadays:
pop shuv its fs & bs 180's fs only. BS scares me... lol. fakie big spins fs heelflips (land probably 1 or 2 out of every 10 tries.) ollie fakie 180's fs & bs nollie pop shuv its boneless 180's (one of my favorite tricks) burt slides (one of my favorite tricks)
That's all that I can think of off the top of my head. I'm not good... Mostly I'll just cruise around. I hope this thread stays alive. SKATE FOR LIFE!

Everytime someone posts about buying an 80 dollar complete it makes me cringe. Not as much as the level of cringe when modest posted his Longboard but still..
Ugh.

Don't understand the hate for longboards.
I get that people are tribalistic, shit flinging retards that will find any reason to hate people for being different, but you gotta respect the dudes that do the craziest shit on longboards. They do some incredibly dangerous and brave shit.

My first skate board was a 20 dollar one from walmart. It was complete shit. The griptape wore off about 3 months after I got it. The wheels were slow. And the board was very heavy. I did learn how to ollie on it though. And by the time the grip tape was off, I was able to buy parts and make a custom board.Quote:

I love long boards. They're awesome to ride. I've seen people kick flip a long board before too!
What I kinda hate are those penny boards. If I remember correctly, that design was originally made for young kids to start boarding. They look like they are made for toddlers anyways.

Because, even of its from a good skate brand, there's no brand that makes everything. It's usually from a deck company so the deck will be professional quality. But the trucks, wheels, and bearings, will be made by a deck company.
You wouldn't buy an entire car built by a company who makes tires. Would you?

I find someone speeding down a mountain on a piece of wood a lot more impressive than trick skating.

I kind of want to get a cruiser or longboard. I've never had one.
There is this insanely steep hill/road that I know about, it's in a neighborhood. It's about 5 football fields far. I saw someone going down it on a regular skateboard & got speed wobbles so bad, it scared me just watching them. They were probably going about 40-50 mph. They completed it though & managed not to get hit by any cars.

I see your point but i still think it comes down to the rider. Ive purchased $120 plus girl completes in the past and for example, i like my globe setup better. I only skate ramps anyway so theres not much of a damage factor for the board.

I've done that before with a bunch of skater friends. it wasn't insanely steep, but it was over 45 degrees downhill at the start for probably half a football field. At that time I loved to have my trucks super tight, so no speed wobbles. I went at least 40. If I did that on my board now, I'd be wobblying so hard.

I ride super loose and I don't even get speed wobbles anymore. If you start to get them just carve. Carving back and forth completely eliminates them.

My "longboard" is an old skateboard with longboard wheels on it because i don't feel safe on a skateboard I can't ollie. Bombs hills like a motherfucker and hella fun to rip around town longboard speed but with skateboard trickability.

No, I'm just trying to help you not come off as a childish nob.
I don't give a shit about something as insignificant as someones perception in relation to my skateboarding ability.
To me, things like skateboarding are for finding personal freedom and enjoyment, not dick measuring playground level bullshit.

Longboarding =/= skateboarding
The sooner you, and they stop associating them with us the sooner all the shit your angry about stops.

Yeah carving reduces wobbles. I've actually fallen a few times because I'll lean too hard on my loose ass trucks. But back in the day when I did that, I like to ride straight as shit.

i usually bum my bros skateboard, its been years since ive owned one, i really want to get one tho, and a long board cuz long boards are awesome
ive been skating long enough that i could probably learn any trick in just a couple of hours
my main tricks tho are kickflips and manuals, i love manuals, kick flips to manuals etc.. and i;ve pretty much mastered the kickflip
idk the best trick ive ever done id say would have to be when i ollied over an outdoor trash bin with a mini ramp. i still cant believe i was able to pull that one off..

I got it years ago, back in high school. Man it felt good to finally buy something other than a Wal-Mart board. Had to work cutting people's lawns all summer cuz my parents wouldn't want to pay for a good setup.

I tried to get into skating but I guess it just wasn't my thing i got interested at summer camp where they had a skate park and I though I could do it but every time I tried to drop in on the quarter pipe I'd just be afraid of having the board slip out from me and breaking my neck on the pipe at the top so very skating wasn't for me. I had only ever gotten one trick down on this tiny ramp I think it was called a rock and roll 50/50 or something idk. Anyways I tried street skating and had a birdhouse deck with no grip tape yellow top with a silver hawk skeleton on the bottom. It had spitfire wheels I think the bearings were red dragon or something like that and I just remember the trucks were blue. I got it at zumiez but I sold it a few years back cause I just wasn't using it now I kinda wish sometimes that I didnt sell it. But then I think about how I have sciatica and fibromyalgia anyways so any wrong move just fucks up my back so I can't ride. I tried rollerblading in some European blades I have the other day and almost busted my ass about 10 different times

Funny how people think. I live in one of the biggest Surfing/Skating towns IN THE WORLD and it never surprises me how aggressive and anal people get over board sports.
I skate and surf on standup and Body boards and i love ramps/parks and i have a quiver of long/short Skateboards..
There has always being a rivalry between Standup and Body boarders and you always hear "THAT'S NOT SURFING" being thrown at the Body boarders. But riddle me this? What is Body surfing then???
Same logic applies to Skateboarding.
Remember where Skating came from Naut . It came from Surfing and was ALL about the carve Sonny Jim ! Slides and carves to emulate surfing. Downhill bombing/free riding is one of many facet's of Skateboarding i love.
Now piss off with your close minded immature attitude,This (the shroomery ) is a place for the open minded.
Thank you.

Longboarding is for shitty kids who never learned to Ollie.
Look where America came from. It's Britain. Does that mean we should eat tea and biscuits and have a queen?
Fuck no. Just because it came from carving "sonny boy" doesn't mean we have to completely undo 50 years of evolution and to back to those days.
Why don't you sell your phone and buy a car phone. After all that's where mobile phones came from
Stupid argument is stupid.

Kids hey? Reason i took up downhill is due a knee injury's after 20+ years of board sports and downhill is easier on the old knee's.. Hitting 40 and i must admit i still feel like a young kid. So yeah,isn't that the point? Or do you just skate to impress others or for yourself?
The point i was making that you so obviously missed is that the roots of Skateboarding is carving and sliding and for you to say that that isnt Skating is pure childish verbal diarrhea.

Why don't you to start a longboarding thread and cry about it?
Then when you're done you should take up scootering.

I'm an old outa shape skater but here are a few of my boards...did the griptape jobs myself.
The first is a copy of the first board I ever owned...but it's not a reporoduction...this is a new old stock Sims Lester, even painted the Indie 169's myself. It still needs some rails on it but I'm not into pools or vert ramps anymore so this board is ONLY used for sidewalk cruising.
The 2nd is a Jeff Grosso deck with artwork done by Lance Mountain. It hangs on my wall with the hopes of having both of them sign it one day.
And the last is my slappy...it's a local shop board with Indie 169's and P&P Rat Bone wheels...used just for slapping and grinding curbs....and busting my ass.

Thanks brother...I started riding again a couple of years ago just to get back into shape. Ever watch Grosso's "Loveletters to Skateboarding" on the Vans channel on Youtube? It's what gave me the itch to get back to it. Awesome vids about the origins and cool shit from the 80's.

I've never heard of it but right now I am watching one of the videos. It is called "The Freestyle Conspiracy". I love that kind of skateboarding. I wish I could do stuff like that. I think I am going to try to get on the board tomorrow.

Guys whats a good board for the old school style of skateboarding & tricks? I would expect that a smaller, lighter skateboard would be good instead of a longer, heavier skateboard. I've skated with a regular board all my life, I kind of want to get something different in the near future.

newageshaman said: Just decided to get back into skating a trick board again after 12 or so months without a board (excluding my mini stereo cruiser) and picked up a Complete Element set up. Was a bit hesitant to start skating again but fuck it, it's a good time 
So anywho what decks are fellow shroomsters riding? what tricks can you do ect.. I'm pretty mediocore with a fairly limited amount of tricks but in sayong that here's what i can do.
1.frontside 180's down stairs and banks
2.pop-shuvits the same as above
3.Boardslides down flat rails
4.5-0 grinds on quarter pipe railings
5. Indy, tail and nose grabs when launching off quarter pipes or banks (have to try adding 180 rotations to these, see how i go)
and thats pretty much it, still haven't got kickflips down which is a bummer but one day soon hopefully. So now what do the other shroomites got... Besides scrapes and sprains 
I have a few decks, icluding: Blind, Alien Workshop, Toy Machine, and an old school Fuct board. All outfitted with independant Trucks, which are about 18 years old, but still work. I have new cushings for them. All with k-9 wheels, which i bought in the late 90's.
My favorite trick in a inward heelflip, tho i am pretty diverse in what I can do. I love half pipes and bowls, and probably what i have gotten hurt the most doing lol.

why are you acting like such a douche? You're judging people within a niche of a niche on the Internet, you must feel cool as shit.
I don't care how good you are at skateboarding, they are a joke compared to longboards as far as speed and terrain adaption goes. Skateboarding is only fun if your roads aren't eaten to shit and your sidewalks are more than just pebbled up concrete.
Peace. Keep the discussion going folks. Just had to put a cork in his bullshit.

I think its because phyco is from florida like me. Its flat as shit here and there are no hills which makes long boarding kinda boring as hell.
