Skateboarding

happened upon this and wasn’t aware it had grown into an actual thing. Non-skateboarding but felt related enough for the thread.

I wanna know what size those wheels were before vs. after. That’s a lifetime’s worth of power slides 

Such a sketchy ass style and I love seeing it. It seems like he is punching above his weight with a lot of these tricks. Perfect name for the part I suppose.

Yeah, satisfyingly sketchy, and a few sweet Oslo spots.

Just ordered a complete skateboard kit!

No brand but 7 layer Maple wood 7.75 Deck with wheels, trucks and bearings + gripy and tools. 
Why I order so small board is because I really want to nail some flip tricks and everything over 8.0 is so large for that. 

I will update on how it is going! I probably die on the way cus too old and tired for this shit!  

My lord! I just received my new shoes.. Osiris D3 2001 
God they are so beautiful but so crazy ass big! My skateboard will look like a toy under these shoes! 

Fascinating to watch the evolution of snow skating. Damn the music was bland as hell in this though. If you’re gonna cover Bowie don’t bring your C game.

How's the skating going?

7.75 would be too big for me. I always had an issue finding a nice replacement the right size, always a compromise.

I once bought a 8.0 Zoo York Tag deck. Loved the look of it but it fucked my flip tricks up. Horrible. 

I've still got a freestyle deck. It's tiny; not been out on it in ages though.

I should renew my kick flip licence + potential to have a great WFH excuse after.
