bw x wide low, ff g4s, 32mm td trucks, teak bushings. i had a used/stripped pair of br trucks but i sold them. i always wanted a fresh pair but they are pretty expensive. td trucks work alright but they took the life of one of my g4s so i only run 3 now and 1 td wheel $:-\$

i usually keep it around the bathroom sink or kitchen counters and pop a tre when i’m passing by. i can almost switch flip i’m getting close.

I used to play over AIM with my friend all the time. We did two tries each trick and you just had to be honest. Mostly played "ledge" games with a vhs tape as the ledge.

Never played via video before. I'll let you know if I get some free time, I'm pretty fucking good.

basically landing rocketed kickflips on the back of my shins lmao. but i gotta go fakie a bit then reverse it suddenly to regs just before the takeoff. 3flips are the easiest. front tails kinda difficult. oh well

i thought i saw some fingerboard completes go for the same price as a real complete...

I thought this was a joke or exaggeration until I saw:

just got a complete from dynamic fingerboards and it was $100

I looked up Dynamic Fingerboards. I have to ask; why?

I've used both the newer Tech Decks and the Teak boards which aren't much more, and I can't imagine it being that different. I didn't notice any real difference with the bearings, but the actual urethane wheels were nicer than the plastic ones. The only really nicer thing is the kingpin doesn't stick down, but an emery board always fixed that for me.

100 bucks on a fingerboard lmao. shit better have a gold layer. urethane wheels are cool though

Yeah, if you look up Teak Tuning, they’ve got a complete for like $15, has urethane wheels, bearings, trucks that turn, a wood deck, and foam tape. If you buy it on Amazon and have prime it’s $15 all said and done.

there is no real way to justify the purchase, I was drinking and had disposable income at the time. although, I must say I have learned a couple real skateboarding tricks from it

backone · « **Reply #41 on:** September 23, 2021, 01:57:43 AM »

I was unable to skate for like a year during lockdown and started messing around with this cheap, sub tech deck quality, fingerboard I got from secret Santa at work. It was fun, but the board was crap, so I bought a decent set up from https://www.thenorwoodproject.co.uk/completes for £19. Realised I could do back smiths, crooked grinds, fakie 5-0s n shit on a little ledge. While not being able to skate and being real bummed about it, this was a way to experience skateboarding from home on my desk

backone · « **Reply #45 on:** September 24, 2021, 03:03:24 AM »

matty_c · « **Reply #46 on:** September 24, 2021, 03:13:16 AM »

This is stupid but I just got the GIPHY app and I made a gif how the fuck do I paste it here
Do I have to make a gif in GIPHY and then upload it on another website to host

matty_c · « **Reply #47 on:** September 24, 2021, 03:17:47 AM »

upload photo

Got it, yeah you explained it already I just didn’t get it

If it’s too sketch I will re do it was legit first try
If it looks weird it’s cause I did a fakie shove to get the board around right as I started recording

backone · « **Reply #48 on:** September 24, 2021, 03:20:20 AM »

That counts. I think sets should alternate, you copy my trick and also set your own. Also have as many tries as we like

Who else is in

matty_c · « **Reply #49 on:** September 24, 2021, 03:22:49 AM »

Fuck that it’s a game of skate it’s your set I am happy with that
Also happy to wait for others

Edit

I think just one go is legit otherwise we will see circus tricks
