shut up homosexual
>grown man still on a skateboard
mega-cringe
Get with the times, boomer.
It's mega cool.
meet Tommy Guerrero. biggest skater of his time bar tony hawk, emblem of the Bones Brigade. musician, entrepreneur, STILL a skater at age 55 and most certainly better than at playing the game of life
is 33 y/o to learn how to skate
assuming you forgot to type "too late", then no, it isn't
no
Yes, teenagers will take massive spills all the time and heal back quickly while at 30+, many injuries will never fully go away.
literally who
Tommy Guerrero
Either you are Tommy Guerrero and this post is a very sad attempt to shill yourself because you are completely irrelevant, or you are not Tommy Guerrero and this post is still very sad because you need other more successful people to justify your own childishness.
A sort of social parasitism where you receive validation and he receives money and free shilling on cambodian oyster shucking forums.
>you're not allowed to use this simple and convenient means of transportation because of a number
What a pathetic life you must live
Only works well on even pavement. Barely faster than a brisk jog or the lack of real brakes creates a massive safety hazard - usually more to others. Stop being fat and move your legs faster.
Last year, a skatehomosexual slammed into my dog from behind on the sidewalk, blamed me for “not training”, and zoomed off before i could get a picture of his chinlet face. I had to spend $950 on vet bills. Now i purposefully shouldet skatehomosexualS who come up behind me. Stay on the road. Oh you’re too slow and have no control so the road is unsafe for your sports equipment? Stay in the skate park.
*shoulder
And its not a crime, because you didnt know they were there, you were just moving around, and they were going too fast in a pedestrian area.
>barely faster than a brisk jog
I can do 10mph all day and sustain 20mph for a mile or so
>lack of brakes
Just step off the damned board
>Stop being fat and move your legs faster.
I don't care how long you can run, you can skate for longer. I'd never think of jogging to work but I skate the 12mi round trip regularly. Most of the time I don't even go straight home, a 20-40mi skate is a relatively normal thing for me. They just aren't comparable.
>Stay on the road
Of course, skating on sidewalks sucks and is generally illegal
>step off at 20mph
Seen it happen, the car narrowly missed him and he still got hurt. Longboarders are morons. Ride a bike.
At 20 you just stomp, your shoes are brake pads. Generally you're not doing 20 though
Also
>Ride a bike
Frick that. Boards are much more convenient and fun
I wouldn't say they're more convenient, really depends on the usecase.
I agree with the fun part.
>don't have to chain up my board and risk a nog stealing it
>if I run into a friend I can effortlessly take it into his car with me
>If I ever was to ride a bus the same applies then I can use the board for the last mile
>if I'm going on vacation it takes up practically no space in my luggage
I guess it does vary for others but as far as my uses go a bike is nothing but downsides
>bike is nothing but downsides
- much faster
- takes less effort
- safer
- there are dedicated lanes just for bikes (assuming you live in the 1st world), no toys like scooters and skateboards allowed.
>means of transportation
It's a toy, not a means of transportation because you can't use it on public roads.
It's like saying a Formula 1 car is a "means of transportation".
>you can't use it on public roads.
Yes I can, even passed a cop on a county highway a few days ago. As long as you're not going down the middle of the road nobody gives a frick
moot points
>bike lanes
I use my board in those all the time. When I'm driving in summer I also make frequent stops in cities with dedicated bike paths and use those too.
consoom more.
if i say it 3 times your homosexualry will show?
beetle dick

OH SHIT it worked
god that's adorable, looks kind of comfy to ride too
What's the fricking point of having 180mm reverse kingpin trucks on a tiny wheelbase like that?
That's the dumbest shit I have ever seen.
Size of the board doesn't matter, it's intent. If you're not doing tricks RKP trucks are the better choice
>Size of the board doesn't matter
https://nelsonlongboards.com/pages/turning-radius-calculator
Irrelevant. Length of the board of course affects turning radius but that's not what we're discussing. RKP gives tighter turns, RKP with a shorter board gives even tighter turns.
>t. exclusively uses cruisers with RKP specifically for very tight turning radius
It all depends on the pivot angle and truck width, RKP doesn't automatically give you tighter turns, they're mainly more stable but are usually a bit higher than TKP trucks.
Yeah that's a good point
Here is a good resource if you care

>geek
You misspelled hipster
I saw too many REKT webms to be appealed by skating.
I know how it ends
I buy led bulbs from the dollar store because the desoldered cob leds end up cheaper per unit than aliexpress
As a true geek I never leave my house so I don't need one of those.
Are penny boards good? besides the looks I've heard they are pretty resistant, and they don't charge for shipping
Yeah, they're pretty great with some minor modifications that let you pump them like hell.
I recommend buying a used one because kids want them and never use them, so I grabbed one for 20 bucks recently that was never fricking used but is around 100 new.
They're nice if you need something that small but to me they're inconveniently narrow, I'd just get a cruiser instead
Just fricking walk. Or get a bicycle. Jfc you are a loser. Every time I see one of you fully grown homosexuals on some sort of stupid skateboard I pray you catch a rock the wrong way and smash your mouth directly into a curb.
