Wide shoes
I need some wide, preferably suede, shoes, but I have wide feet which makes the right ones hard to find. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I wear wide converses right now.

razor tail
as a novice I’m not sure how I would grade the severity of this tail as it is rn.
out of 10, how ‘intense’ is this razor tail so far?

nother day nother kickflip help post
just got back into skating like 6 weeks ago after stopping close to 5 or 6 years ago. been getting closer to kickflips the past week or two but im having issues that i feel are related
- as i set up, i struggle with keeping my balance right. i have trouble with balance in the toes/heels directions, but mostly struggle with keeping my balance forward/backward
- i flick behind me almost, which leads to the board rotating a bit, and having wonky balance when i go to catch it
- my body turns frontside, ditto to above
i think my body turning frontside is causing the flicking behind me, but im not sure how to stop it.
i catch bolts, and back foot while its still in the air, but because i flick behind, its so sketchy trying to land it. i have to rush to get my front foot back in the right spot.
tysm for helping ^^

Landed my first ollie over an obstacle today
I have been trying to ollie over something for a while now and today is the day I finally did it! It took many attempts and many falls, but it was all worth it. I was so hyped and I couldn’t believe it, my eyes were full of joy. Turns out patience is key. (I started skating at 19 of September this year).

Why would my skate truck have fallen off
I'm a relatively new skater and while riding first the king pin nut fell off and then the whole truck fell off.
I always ride with tight trucks.
I ride with independent 144 trucks and no riser pads.
Any advice is appreciated

Can we pin this post
Why can't I ollie? - because you've been skating for a week
Any tips on ollie? - yes skate some more
Same goes with kickflips and shuvs do we ever see any posts on here that's not one of those three, no because people don't want to learn the fundamentals first.
Never saw a post on here of anyone asking for advice on a fs 180 or a bs.
You know why your kickflip isn't good because you haven't done it a million times same goes with any trick skateboarding is repetitive and it'll drive you crazy
There's no fast pass magic trick that's going to work, practice makes perfect get out ride your board.
No hate intended but it's so repetitive seeing the same thing over and over like go and ride your board and stop asking how you can get your ollie to the moon when you can barely stand on the thing.
Over and out 😎

Anyone else notice all the big brands have made a huge swerve to 8.25 and up?
I ride 7.75 and recently decided it was time for a new deck, my old one had razor tail a few too many chips and was just losing pop and my closest non zumies skate shop is about an hour and a half one way so i decided to look around online and there aint many options. Even at my local there were barely any 7.75's or 8's.

2024 has been a blast
Know it probably doesn’t look like much but feel like I got way more comfortable on my board since starting up at the beginning of this year.
Can’t wait to see what next year brings
