I have been skating for 34 years and have never ground a set of trucks to the axle.

Neither has the majority of this forum, they change their trucks every week.

This is why my axles slipping is so fucking annoying…I was aiming to axle them

Do less flip tricks, skate more virgin kerbs.

It’s all that tekkers holding you back.
Do a load of basic bitch throwing yourself at kerbs and you’ll soon be on a couple of pairs a year mate

I ground a pair of new indys down to both axles just skating curbs in 9 days and its without a shadow of a doubt my crowning achievement in skateboardings

I don’t even flip my board anymore.
Swiss curbs are usually super rough, you have to rub brick them to make them skatable and I haven’t been through that process so far as I have my grind boxes.
One of my sets of 149s seems like it might show some axle some day though.

Never enjoyed skating mini ramps and as a result completely suck at skating transition.
I hate the use of bricks in skateparks for heavy usage areas like hips.
I’m at the stage where I’m completely rubbish at skating now and need the terrain to be as ideal as possible, so if I needed an obstacle to be quirky or imperfect, I’d skate a street spot.

If I skate on anything less smooth than glass I struggle to set up for the very basic tricks I’m trying. I need SoCal skateparks.
I get you, I used to be the total opposite in thought. I wanted nothing more than the quirk of the street coming into skateparks but so many buildaers get it wrong and make parts of skateparks problem areas.

It’s not even long, and it is one of the best videos of all time according to pretty much anyone over age 40. Probably the most inspiring one to me.

Man, I love a good quarterpipe but skating a miniramp usually makes me feel like a hamster in a wheel.
I actually skated a microramp with some mates yesterday, hadn’t skated anything like that in years and it was super fun. I suppose good friends and t-shirt weather definitely helped making the whole experience as lovely as it was.

Having to stand there and wait for my turn is one of the worst things about it. At least in a skatepark you can keep pushing around.

Maybe I’ll try in 5 years in that case
Really living up to the nerd on a forum cliche here but…
I’ve probably managed about 1 skate a year for the last 5 years. During one of the COVID years I managed 3 and they were all in the same week.

Never owned a pair of half cabs. It’s a shoe I’ve always thought looked awful but it also feels like I haven’t completed some part of skateboarding by not owning some.
