best switch flip everrr

Sebo Walker at South Bank part - https://www.thrashermagazine.com/articles/videos/sebo-walker-s-safe-part/

Really not feeling the 90's camcorder look some of these videos are going for. It was shit on VHS in '95 and it's shit now.

One of the best parts ever

True, but still better than fat Bill's zoom in on shoes, pan, miss trick, repeat technique.

blokes is my new favorite video since the house video. that is all. happy new year

Anyone got a longboard they don’t need anymore?

Looking for either a longboard/cruiser deck or possibly complete. Preferably something with a bit of a tail.
I’ve skated my whole life but now LadyLiz wants in on the action with an eye to learning to surf in the future as well. Just looking for something a bit longer and more stable than a regular popsicle board to go to the cafe on so doesn’t need to be anything too fancy or specialised. I’ve never had a big board so not really looked into it before..
Deck or complete considered. In London so can collect.

I haven't stood on a skateboard in maybe 15 years, if not more (probably not far off 20), and even then I was awful at best. Anyway, I'm in LA with work this week and found myself staying out in Venice since Wednesday, jealous of everyone skating and cycling up and down the boardwalk. I talked myself into buying one to have a go so picked up an arbor pocket rocket and have been enjoying getting around by board since Wednesday, to the point that I'm looking forward to trying it out in London, once I'm a bit more confident!

Liz had her first experience of rolling around at the weekend on her snazzy new longboard courtesy of @lowbrows. Plan is to get her cruising around comfortably as we both want to learn to surf this year hopefully.
I’ve skated all my life so awesome to share it with her at last :)

The place the bmxers have built under the Eastway in Hackney now has a mini-ramp.

Still one of the gnarliest gaps ever

Still one of the gnarliest gaps ever

Had the 411 that gap was in. Was one of the big “woah” moments of my skateboarding youth along with that Jamie Thomas handrail Ollie.

Not sure if this should be here or DIY thread, but I knocked this up from a plank of white deal over lunch.

Just gotta sand it, paint it and hang it on the wall.

I've my old board from when i was younger in my parents house that will fill the second slot, just gotta remember to dig it out next time I'm home...

This Planeta Patsanov video is fantastic, one of the best I’ve seen in a long time. Mad skating, graffiti and the part on oddballs/security guards is great.

I'm looking for a short city break around March, can anyone recommend somewhere warmish but not awful for roaming on hard wheels? I know Barca is the obvious choice, just trying to consider other lesser known option.

Waiting on a package of bolts n bits to arrive today so I can build up my first big board :D

I’ve got a practically unused Toy Machine monster deck in 7.75”, anyone want to trade for something in the 8.5-10” pool deck realm?

Got carried away and bought an arbor pocket rocket when i was in LA beginning of this year, used it to roll up and down the boardwalk between venice and santa monica for 3 days, brought it home, and it hasn't been used since.

Any interest in here before I put it in a formal sale thread? I made a 2 board wall rack to get it up off the floor that I'll include in sale.

So goooood!

I don't skateboard, never really did as a kid but I'm strangely drawn to watching episodes of King of the Road on Vice. It reminds me of school/uni just with more ollies and (insert other skateboard terms here).
