I have been getting very frustrated with the fact that whenever I try to ollie down something no matter if its small or big, my backfoot never goes through with it, and i have even tried to ollie onto grass and i still cannot do it the backfoot, but I can ollie over things on flatground. please any tips would be so helpful, I feel like I could be much better than I am.

Hello ive been skating for a year on and off and took my skateboard on holiday bc there is a park nearby, its not the greatest but it has a few ramps and a small rail. I decided to try skate my first rail, so I'm trying to do a bs boardslide. However im having some trouble commiting my back foot to go with me on the rail and also ollie onto it most times I barely get it off the ground and js rocket on it or js barely pivot. Ive already tried balancing my board on the rail and jumping on it to see how it feels and I can do that im comfortable, any tips?

Moved into a new house and in the old house the mounters I used required you to screw into the wall. It was dry wall so it was no problem. However in the new house and new room 1/4 is concrete. Obviously I can't drill or screw anything so is there a way to hang up skateboards on a concrete wall?

Broskis I need help 😭 I wanna buy a skateboard, but I don’t really wanna do tricks or anything. I mostly just wanna use it to get from A to B.

So I’m thinking I should probably get a cruiser instead, BUT the whole reason I wanna skate in the first place is because skating apparently originated from surfers wanting to surf on land. So now I’m thinking maybe I should get a surfskate because it actually mimics surfing on land??

Idk 😭 what do you guys think: cruiser, regular skateboard, or surfskate?

Im Wondering what is the likelyhood of getting big name sponsors to help build a skatepark/(maybe)skating rink in West Memphis Arkansas. Its a super poor town and we have nothing here for children to do, not even a ymca or pool, nothing. The crime is bad here and im thinking this could be a good step in the right direction to maybe save this town and build an awesome community. Ive had a long community post and it seems like i could possibly get a lot on board, but the funding is a little shaky. I could apply for grants and whatnot and possibly get it going but man if i got some big name sponsors to help it out id definitely start getting the ball moving. Has anyone had any outside help getting skateparks up for a poor community? i have so much free time i could help building stuff, im very talented (dont like to toot my horn). I just do not have the money to invest much into it unforturnately.

idk just thought id ask cause its kind of hopeless lol, not lol....

If you can do it, can you send clips? Im trying to learn it. Can hold the pinch very well but cant pop out to fakie

Okay so when I first got into skating the first stance I learned was mongo thinking that, that was the regular stance, took me about a year to realize that what I’m doing is literally nerfing myself but during that year I was just skating to cruise and have fun. But as of October of last year I took skating to the next level and decided to actually learn some tricks and go down ramps and such. This is the point where I realized that my stance is bad so i switched to regular stance and for the past 6-8 months I’ve been doing regular and I learnt it but it never felt right. I “relapsed” recently and decided to go back to mongo just to see what it would feel like. And omg It felt so good and so right to be back to mongo, my pushes are more consistent, I’m more stable and overall just more comfortable. But now that I’m doing tricks and such.. should I go back to mongo. Like I know I shouldn’t but everything just feels better, I need help and opinions to see what stance I should do
