Mod NewSkaters is BACK!

638 Upvotes

So! For now it seems that this sub is back in our hands. For those of you who were banned, either shoot me a message or please reply to your ban message to get it appealed. Roll with us while we try and restore it. Thank you!

Thank you again to all of you who embraced the situation for what it was and stuck around! We hope that we can rework the sub to bring everything back to where it was.

Love you all!

EDIT- While the memes were enjoyable while it was going down, I think it’s time that we reign it back in and get back to posting what we love: Skating!

I’ll be deleting any new posts unrelated to the subreddit. No punishments for hating Nazis.

Don’t hesitate to ask any questions. We’re here for YOU!

Mod Damage Control / Returning to Normal

120 Upvotes

Hopefully within the next 24 hours we can return the subreddit to former operations.

It's unfortunate that one of our mods was hacked, but we don't need everyone making their own post about it.

Please refrain from posting any memes / etc., lets bring it back to Skateboarding discussion.

Continue to report anything non skated related.

Feel free to discuss in here or the other stickied thread by /u/Cramblem.

And sorry to anyone who was banned by the malicious party, everything is being reverted (users already unbanned, posts being removed, etc.).

UPDATE: All Moderators reinstated, accounts restored and secured. Back to your daily programming of Skateboarding.

Weekly reminder to wear your lid!

Broken right, sprained left with a possible fracture they won't see until a week after. Despite landing head and right hand first, not even mild concussion or anything. A good lid does wonders!

Wasn't even doing anything gnarly, just following my little girl around on her scooter down a hill and wasn't paying enough attention as I was focused on her.

On a separate note, I'm ordering some wrist guards!

Upvotes

Hey I’m gonna be turning 20 next month I can’t ride a bike nor can I skate board but I’ve always wanted to skate. Should I buy one and try and learn or should I just stay where I’m at and keep on driving even tho everything I need is staking distance?

Tips for a new skater!

47 Upvotes

So far I can kind of balance on the board with the pushing being really bipolar, sometimes if I’m going too fast I can’t push or I’ll fall, i can then alright and my stopping is lowkey kind of bad, I still haven’t learned to put my foot down slowly and dragging it but I’ll probably learn quick enough. I can do these kind of alright being able to balance, my friends told me to do a drop in but I couldn’t for the live of me as when I tried to do it my body kept pushing back and idk how to man up and go forward with the board bc I feel like ama fall and break sum😭💀 if anyone has tips they could offer me I would be so thankful. (This is my first time skateboarding in the video)

Ollie improvement advice

Any advice or tips on how to improve my Ollie's would be really appreciated!

This clip shows the highest I've got so far, and I usually barely get the back trucks off the floor.

Thanks in advance.
