Like the vast majority of people here, I'm someone who skated as a kid and now that one of my boys is interested I'm relearning all this from over 20 years ago so we can skate together.

We don't have much in the way of skateparks so vert skating is kind of out. I have a 8.25 board with 149mm trucks and bigger wheels. I'm finding it hard as a 6ft tall size 12 dude to find good footing in the board. I feel like Ronald McDonald trying to do any simple trick.

What's up with these bigger popsicle decks or some of the Heroin egg decks? Most of our skating is street skating. Any one finding it easier to ride some of the bigger options out there?

So a lil back story.. after go skate day in Pittsburgh that I hosted we decided to donate our ramps to the diy park we started out push at.

Instead of letting these ramps collect dust in our storage unit, we thought skate community deserved them.

We dropped them off at Bloomfield DIY so everyone has more to skate while we wait on the city to move toward future renovations. These ramps value over $1,500 and seeing people enjoy them means a lot more than watching them sit in storage. Do you think it’s wrong to donate to the skate community? Please watch the full video and let me know.

very new btw can barely tail stop. would like to try learning ollie soon

edit thank you you guys are very nice i will keep at it

Don’t mind my breathing there’s a heatwave lol

If I put weight on either side it goes all the way down is it because something is loose or the board just bad?
