How did you like that Solace of Mind? I’m thinking about trying one. There’s none in my area so I’d have to order. Always a risk.

I was actually going to post that in the worst graphics thread. Did you take that pic inside a Circle K or some food place?

That's the Jamba Juice next to the Costco curbs in LA. The graphic is whatever, but it's silk screened and I like the shape


Here's a top view for reference

Hey what the fuck is going on with this place what kind of slides are you people doing or not doing?

I’d love to see a shit_for_brains slide mark critique thread.  I’ll post my deck when I’m ready to switch it out in about a week, it should give my man plenty of material to work with.

It's pretty standard. If you do a legit slide you'll get a legit mark. Any slide. Even a shitty one. Tail and nose should be against baseplates and going horizontal because that's how those tricks work. Board/lip should be mostly in the middle but a few near the baseplates hey that's fine skating is hard. Feeble/smith on the edges near the front trucks unless you're in Canada. Marks from fucking up legit slides and grinds are fine because skating is still hard. But if you come in with ONLY vertical marks on your tail on a 4 year old deck that looks like rats have been alternating between chewing and pissing on it and your griptape has reverted back to sand? Get out.

The tail I'm wondering how he goes straight through his wheel like that and is what I think we could convict on. The ones in the middle I guess are feeble/smith marks. The jury would find him unreliable for having a worn yet unmarked nose.

Safer to post only set ups with fresh decks in this thread.

It is ONLY a critique on the marks on the bottom and what the rider may be doing, not an official judgement* on the rider. It's about the marks not the person.


* very much an unofficial judgement.

With people questioning if used boards are legit I started this http://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=101433.msg2866415#msg2866415, and we can keep this nice and fresh!
Feel free to roast away, I lost custody of all my feeling in the divorce.

I'm all for it man. I found this discussion entertaining and didn't think the comments were meant as an attack on any person.

Slide marks criticism and voyance is the future, and it all started here

Slide marks are from trying to get back blunts but to be honest every since my accident a few years ago my skateboarding is god awful. I'm not going to lie.  My accident totally ruined my skateboarding both physically and mentally. I try though.
