Why can’t I Ollie? Do I just suck?

I was practicing Ollies in my room cause it’s raining outside, whenever I try to Ollie nothing happens, the nose just goes up a little and that’s it, I can’t get my tail on the ground, is this some kind of fear response? I feel like I should know how to Ollie by now.

New deck!

Just got the deck for my new street board! I’m getting some 144 independent hollow trucks, bones reds bearings, and spitfire 54mm conicals to go with it!

I keep getting hit on my shins.

I’ve been riding for a year and a half. For the last 8–9 months, the board kept hitting my shin; I finally got fed up and smashed the deck, then bought a new one, but that one hits my shin too. Does anyone use a guard for this? What would solve the problem?

This is how i place my feet after i push, is this wrong?

I tried my best to draw it but basically my front foot sits kind of back on the second bolts so i can turn left and the one behind sits kinda further out so i can turn right. I found this to be very comfortable but I don't know how correct it really is. Because i've tried just having my feet straight kinda like the back foot in the picture and I can't control the board really well.

Is this an accurate way to measure height? [update post from yesterday]

Is this an accurate way to measure height? [update post from yesterday]

Is this accurate? Suggestions?

I feel like it's not the most accurate because of the curvature. The transition with the pool coping is much more c-shaped compared to the transition with the metal coping which is more u-shaped. Hopefully that makes sense.

Thanks for any insight.

which way is the front of my skateboard ?

so this is my skateboard (its a shitty board i got from marketplace from a guy who got it on amazon, its the chromewheels viper(?))

im new to skating so i dont mind using this until im a little better before i upgrade to a new board so feel free to shit on it if you like

anyway, i always thought the front was following the graphic’s orientation, but looking closely it seems like the back end of the graphic has a higher angle, so now im confused

pls help!

Am I a poser ? 😂

I just wanna ask this to get some opinions because it makes laugh sometimes.

I own like 4 hockey beanies, tons of supreme, three pairs of vans half cabs that I basically wear every single day. I wear vans half cabs almost everyday and they will never touch a skate board. I own 4 hockey beanies which are all my most worn beanies which I wear almost every day. I found out about hockey through blp kosher wearing the Sikmura beanie and I wanted one and I didn’t even know it was a skate brand. I always hope nobody who actually skates comes up to me or anything which kinda makes me laugh and feel like a poser which I kinda am

Lmk what yall think

Longboard

Hey so I got a oldish long board from a friend and was using WD-40 on the rusted bits but they ain’t all coming off. The ones that do don’t really roll after I reapply them onto the board. I got speed cream from Zumiez but don’t know if I should apply. Thoughts?
