Someone destroyed donated skate ramps😕
What do you think of this situation? 🤔
Please let us know if us donating ramps to the skate community is bad, and reach out if you know anything. This is unacceptable in our community. And everyone is sick of this type of mindset in not only skating but the world too..
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?
Pic of a slappy 50 50 for attention.
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.
Hey all, brand new to skating and some of the guys I met at the skatepark said I needed to buy a motorized helmet if I’m new to skating. Any good brands?? Thanks for any help.
Will it work? They’ve gotten very hairy
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
If I put weight on either side it goes all the way down is it because something is loose or the board just bad?
So today I moved from my beloved Af1s to a DC court graffik (sue me I know) but I'm too scared I'll rip them completely and I'm not a fan of buying a new sneaker every 3 months. I started skating about 2 months ago and don't do any tricks but I find it pretty fun and I do some entry level stuff like rolling in, going up some ramps, going up a quarter pipe (about halfway) and gapping small gaps. I go about 3 times a week and spend about 4 hours at the park. I can't Ollie yet but I'm pretty confident I will by the end of the summer. What I'm most concerned about is ripping through my sneakers. I just can't afford it and as a teenager you guys know how important it is to go to school looking at least ok. I don't mind wear and tear on my shoes (my Af1s have torn where my ankles sit but that's no problem) I'm not digging having a massive hole tho. Maybe it's just me
