Is there anyone on this fucking dead board? I just want some help with choosing a longboard

Anonymous 01/11/16 (Mon) 09:26:32 No.36

No idea if you're still keepin a watch on this board and this thread (I'll try and do some reviving over the next couple of days) but I gotcha.

Personally, I highly recommend Landyachtz. Great quality, great diversity and pretty sick graphics. Plus, I'm pretty sure they ship everywhere. Maybe it's just because I'm from Vic/Vancouver (around where they're located) but they've always been a personal favourite of mine.

If you're looking for a downhill speeder, something like this would do the trick:

or if you're going for a cruiser (and especially if you live in a big city) I highly recommend something like this El Barbaro:

http://landyachtz.com/Boards/El_Barbaro#.VpN0x5MrJGM

The El Barbaro I've had for a while and it's great because it feels like a longboard but because of it's size, you can fit it right between your legs, or on your backpack; so it's very travel-able.

do people even look at this board anymore?

Anonymous 08/07/15 (Fri) 21:31:40 No.30

No one seems to post anything here. I don't know much about skateboarding so I don't post much.

But this was the first time in a month I have checked this board anyway.

So I have just gotten into skating and I was wondering what are some basic tricks to learn.

Trick Tips Anonymous 01/13/15 (Tue) 13:37:23 No.2 [Reply]

Post trick tips and trick tip resources, also request some

Anonymous 01/30/15 (Fri) 18:31:11 No.8

I request a trick tip on any decent but easy grind-to-grind ledge combos. In return heres a tick tip on danny way/latino style backside 360s.

It would help to know how to back 180, halfcab, back 180 with a revert, and pressure flip(definitely pressure flips to teach you to scoop).

Stance - there is a lot of variability on stance, but I recommend your 3 flip foot placement.

Steps
1. bend your knees
2. Wind your body frontside
3. Unwind, but dont pop until your facing backside
4. pop, and make sure only your backfoot is in control of the rotation of the board.(this is what makes it latino style)
5. land on your back truck to give yourself that extra pivot if you need to.

Possibly helpful tips
-learn pressure flips
