I dont usually wear a helmet unless I know Im going to fail at something, usually from heights. But I dont understand why anyone would hate on someone else for wearing something that makes them feel safe. I hate that I cant see out of the corner of my eyes with a helmet and the way my hair gets stuck but I would never hate on someone for not wanting to break their head open.

[@xenondestiny]

I first did snowboarding and mountain biking, recently into skateboarding so I naturally started with wearing a helmet and got confused when I had some weird looks, different cultures I guess

[@osianjones3694]

Not only does it make you feel you safer but also prevents you from smashing your skull on concrete

I've had 30 concussions from skating I now have eye problems and migraines 2 times a month bad debilitating ones. I wish I wore a helmet. I didn't but I'm lucky I only have small symptoms ot could be much worse. I learned the "ninja roll" and it saved me more times than I know.

[@PtyPro]

I think helmet and protection shouldn't even been a debate. If you want to avoid major injuries I think you got the right to do so, brain damage, fractured head and broken teeth isn,t really something you want to mess with. If you want to take the risk, and not put a helmet, its fine if you like the adrenaline rush of it, but don't judge people who just want to have fun on their board without worrying about major injuries.

9:34. As a young skater, I always wear helmets and pads. I'm still learning how to drop, and I've already broken an arm. I'm wearing the pads until I feel I am comfortable with my skateboard to 100%.

[@layceelay5382]

Honestly, I think you should be wearing them even if you were 200% comfortable

[@tsb4576]

@@layceelay5382 i think you should wear pads always if learning something new but doing something you already can do you can wear what you want

[@ssub_ynot]

Think of it like this, you'll always be trying something you're not used to and comfortable with. And if you're progressing those things will only get bigger and more uncomfortable. Falls happen when least expected even when you're in your element or zone. If you fall in a way that hits the head, you're already bailing in a way that's uncontrollable. Helmets mean you won't loose weeks of sessions recovering from concussions or worse injuries. If you get a bad enough head injury you may never be able to skate again. Never take the helmet off while you're skating. Take it from someone who knows people with permanent disabilities from skate related head injuries. Helmets will eventually be widely accepted even in street skating. Helmets are pretty cool

[@afont13]

I think the whole sport debate can be summed up like this. Running or swimming aren’t inherently sports. But then you get into things like track, cross country, and event swimming which are all sports. So if you’re just going to a park to skate, not a sport but if you’re competing for points and trying to win, it’s a sport

[@DunderHead.5000]

Running from a bear seems like it would be a good sport.

[@ButtonDownRadio]

The helmet / pad debate. At 52 if I slam with no pads, I'm out for a while and can't skate. With pads, I injure less and recover quicker = more skating and less time off work not earning! When I slammed without a helmet - 3 months concussion and I genuinely remember very little from those 3 months. That's 3 months of my kids growing up missed. Salba wears pads, Vallely wears a lid. Been a skinhead (trad skin NOT bonehead for you Americans) since 88 and I don't get helmet hair! Always pad on vert but that poses the lowest risk as the transition is so big, you just slide - much nicer than 5 feet onto concrete. As a kid I wore wrist guards only as I kept spraining my wrists.

[@reverendrobertparsimony8475]

Ever played a game of skate? Tried to see who could Ollie the highest? Manual for the longest? Competition (even professional competition) has been a part of skating since very early on and there's so many ways that skaters compete with eachother. There's tonnes of recreational activities which can also be sports, skating is no different - it doesn't need to be a discussion with other activities, surfing, cycling, driving etc - all things that can be done for fun or sport... Why do so many skaters have to be so precious? Where's the idgaf attitude?

[@hoodmyers9495]

Me personally, I feel like you should be able to wear whatever you want while skating. It’s how you express yourself! As long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else, you should be happy doing it and not care about what other people think about you! People should also keep their opinions to themselves. If it makes a person happy to wear certain clothes, then they should do it! And if you don’t like it, just avoid them!!

[@noahtt3366]

Skateboarding is definitely a sport. Like swimming or running. As a hobby for exercising and improving a skill. However differently from those two, skateboarding is also an art.

As far as brands go, the only brand I'll ever be faithful to is Indy trucks, everything else is trash

***Opinion*** (sorry for the mistake I speak French) 1:earbuds are ok, as long as it's not too loud (you should be able to hear other people). Music can really boost your mood in a skate session. 2:designers cloth should not be skated, they are ugly,useless and not practical. 3: skateboarders can be sponsored by any company, money is money and if you are not interested in the brand that is sponsor, just don't buy it. 4:yes it's a trick, and it's really cool. 5:the brands probably get their products from only a few factories and better or worse product is just a mental thing. 6:yes it's a sport because it's in the Olympics, you sweat, you can lose weight,you work with your body and wikipedia says it's a sport (and they never lie😂) 7:you can cross pinch your grind, it's just a way to make them easier and they are not feeble grind. 8: gatekeeping shouldn't be a thing people can see if your a real skater but poser are not skater, they are on another group. 9:just invent a name for the trick if you argue or do it in skate 3 and check the name of it😂 10:pads are a bit too extreme but helmet should not be hated. The "cool danger" of skating should not be glorified. If you don't wear pads the worst that can happen is that you scratch your knees or elbows but If you don't wear a helmet, you could die. Plus, for the "non-cool" factor of a helmet just depends on you, I have one (no shit) and it got like 100+ real skate stickers that I got overs the years so you really just have to customize it to make it look way better and people will stop bothering about it.

This is one of those things that makes me appreciate how things work in this side of the lake, on hispanic skate communities you don't find this sort of "i don't have anything to complain so i'll complain anyways" mentality i see on US communities, maybe because over here is not that popular and common but we even tend to befriend bikers and rollers, i use a long board and still learning to use a skateboard but all the people i met are always so kind and willing to help, something i barely hear to happen in US, from what i've heard these past 2 months, if anything, i would be hated and looked as a poser, i don't blame the skating community as a whole, but the way things work over there

I definitely get the ear pods part. I ride solo really, since I'm probably the only guy that skates in the neighborhood. But wearing ear pods are dangerous when cruising around on the road.

I'd say skateboarding is a sport. If you look at those gymnastic performances (I don't know the names; moving around on the beam or a horizontal pole, dancing with a sash or ball, etc), no-one is forcing a scoring criteria on it. You could realistically freestyle them too and they are considered as sports.

[@evivic7851]

I don't think it matters what you do or what you wear like helmets and designer shoes unless you don't affect other people

[@justinmusicandskateboardin9282]

The thing about wearing a helmet is, people can potentially just trip and die anytime anywhere just walking around on flatground if they take a nasty enough fall right to their dome. So should people be wearing a helmet every time they step outside to take a walk? Skaters don't wear helmets or pads not because they are trying to get an adrenaline rush from the danger factor... it's because landing on your head is just not a significant risk. In fact, skaters are probably even LESS likely while skating than average people are just walking around to have some horrible fall where a helmet would save them, because skaters while skating are CONSTANTLY thinking about and maintaining their balance, while every possible person walking around anywhere is not necessarily focusing on and being ready to recover their balance should they trip or take some sort of stumble

[@justinmusicandskateboardin9282]

There is also the factor of pads actually making things MORE dangerous potentially, because it gives people more confidence to try more and more dangerous things because they have the illusion of being more protected. Not wearing a helmet keeps people grounded and not hucking themselves off things they know they aren't ready for

[@gregmoore2073]

when i was younger, in the 90s, i was a core skater, and i can only think of one or two people i skated with who would be considered gatekeepers. Most of our crew didn't much care about your fashion, skills, or even level of participation. If you had an interest of any kind in the scene, and weren't a complete tool, you were pretty much a welcomed part of the scene. We had all types of core skater fashions too... old school punk rock types, the iconic baggy jeans and wallet chain (me), cordorouy pants... we liked to skate, wasnt about fashion or flex of any kind. ahhh, i miss those days. Time to dust of the board!

There's a lot of old skaters now, We have all broken bones and have the aches and pains every morning, So yeah, we wear pad and helmets on the park. I really encourage my son to d the same. I'd prefer he both gets to skate and does not have all the problems I have from having to replace both kneecaps. Don't like the look, it's fine, that's why skate paints are so baggy. Wear your pads under your pants. But use your pads and helmets when your pushing it. Skating has history now, and learning from history is good thing.

6:19 is my local skatepark also called riverwalk or Bradenton skatepark. been going there for a while to skate pretty chill people the environment is a little bad but really good park imo.🤘🤘❤❤

[@ChronicSkater]

After a quick comment scroll didn't see anyone explaining that the "krooked" grind controversy is bs from people that don't know what they are talking about when you do a ft krooks or krooked grind you lock the opposite wheel from a nosegrind backside nosegrind locks the toe side wheel krooked grind locks heelside wheel when you go for a nosegrind on a rail you may end up a little off but that's the trick you were trying so more controversy would be the 5.0 vs Salad vs Solid grinds but two of those never here about much anymore

[@averysidilau1455]

Also yiu have a picture of Nyjah wearing earbuds on the thumbnail. It's a picture from SLS where he's the only one in the park at the moment so he is totally ok to have an earbud in.

[@frostsquad2500]

Ok a few things 1 earbuds are fine cause that how some people do their best skating also skateboarding is a sport and a sport isn't always about a point scoring system it's about skill and practice and if it's not a sport I want to see 1 person who has never touched a board in their life hit a bowl or do an Ollie or skate a vert ramp so all though not many people think it's not a sport it can be a sport

[@cheaptoons]

What’s wrong whiles listening to music with ear phones whiles skating ... what I can’t stand is that when a person walks past and say something stupid,which will put in curiosity of what did that person say ? And if your lucky it can shield you from stupid cussing and makes you a focus skater too, you not bombarded by critics or back talkers.

[@cheaptoons]

And other subject you forgot to mention ... are certain celebrities passionate about skateboarding or are they just posers too ? You might have said it but I could see it on this video .

[@tsb4576]

sport definition : an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.

[@Norcali_96]

The sports debate, I would it is cause technically you don't need a scoring system to just ride around on the board just like you wouldn't for playing catch with a baseball or football or anything like that it's all that mixed with a scoring system and the game built around in, with that being said yes I would definitely consider skating a sport

[@LawnFlamingoPoop]

I really don't care if it's a sport or not but I'm leaning towards not since a winner has to be determined based on opinions. Like how do you judge what the better trick was when the tricks were on completely different obstacles?

[@jamiedahms7877]

When did you start skating.

[@TPK160]

If golf is a sport, then it’s only fair skateboarding is a sport, skateboarding is way more physical

[@stg.wendigo1655]

Am i a casual if i use a skateboard just to go from a to be? In my city public transport is really busy in summertime. So i bought a cruiser to travel from college to home. And i only got kicked of my board one time from like a year ago when i started using the board.

[@The_Original_TP]

IMO wear what you, skate how you want, when you want, and don’t hate on other people. We’re all banned together by this shared love. The only exception is someone who just carries a board around to look cool, if you genuinely enjoy skating, put effort into learning and getting better you’re all good in my book.

[@slitzmcduse]

I like the girl and chocolate comparison. You should do a video on all the brother and sister companies of skateboards like habitat alien workshop zero and mystery. Just a suggestion.

[@Silas2012]

Skate boarding is not just skate boarding is fun making new friends.

[@trevorepinal621]

I started skating during the core era I specifically remember how skaters would judge other skaters by the way they do a 5050 grind lol

[@amb158]

The headphones thing is ridiculous. First off, air pods have a transparency mode which actually works really well. Second, if you only wear one earbud, you’d an still hear everything going on around you. I see more people wear earbuds than not and I don’t know why it’s an issue unless your blatantly not paying attention and making it difficult to skate around you. I will never understand the earbuds debate. Especially when people offer a portable speaker as the alternative. No. I don’t want to listen to 10 other peoples portable speakers at the same time when I can just pop an earbud in and listen to my own music.

[@namanienie123]

i only skate transit so i wear a helmet but nothing else unless im in a bowl

[@curist8411]

Bruh we have transparency mode nowadays we can definitely hear if we choose to and since when have skating been all about rules? and gatekeeping like this is one of the reasons why skating is dying, its enough that people are scared of going to skateparks let alone showing that they are correct on feeling that way. Do what you gotta do, its about you, and like John Hill said "who needs approval from assholes"

[@zxn_0]

I usually wear a Light Blue nike hoodie and some black nike sweatpants and my shoes are the Nike SB Adversary Premium Blues so idk if im one of those people who wear designer or not cuz idk if nike counts as designer so can i get some help in the comment section.

[@GoodAmerican7]

1st of all in my opinion every skater skates for their own reasons so stop bashing skaters that can't do a 30 stair rail, or sutly, hating, or watever even small 5 stair rail or w/e we all got a story, and therapy purposes and much more, that we all skate for encourage one another, and love each other.. and we will all progress that way God bless

I would always stick one headphone in while i was tricking then take it out when i stopped moving, always skate better with a beat, but agree with the social thing. Wear what you want to skate, even skate brands can be pretty pricey these days, as long as you're happy to tear up your expensive clothes when you slam what is it to anyone else, i generally wear old stuff to skate🤙 Nosegrind and Crooked grind are 2 different tricks Skateboarding is an extreme sport 🤷‍♂ Cross pinch is just people doing sketchy grinds, people who nail the tricks properly will stand out 🤙 I wear pads now i'm older, I have taken a few too many blows to the head over the years and working in stores sucks with the injuries that come from skating, that and i have bills to pay, the gear keeps me rolling with confidence and i actually push it harder because of them 🤙

[@cubeboarder7261]

hey skate box is it accepable to be wearing pads when your parents force you to?

[@7.uil_]

I still don’t get why skaters can’t listen to music

[@iPenguie]

6:44 ok but what bout the other grinds? Where only the board touches the rail or when you're directly in the middle of the trucks without touching either tire? (I don't know the trick names)

[@justinmusicandskateboardin9282]

There's a huge difference between dragging the nose or tail on a nosegrind/5-0 versus different pinches you can do on a 50-50. Skateboard grinds/slides are defined by what surface is touching what other surface. There are no differences in what surfaces are in contact with other surfaces when doing different 50-50 pinches, but dragging your nose/tail is completely adding another surface contact point. You could still consider it a nosegrind or whatever, but I would consider it a scruffed nosegrind vs a proper nosegrind that was actually balanced.

[@ianhale4466]

What about dudes who are over 6 feet tall trying to grab the nose in a 5-0, it's impossible not to drag the tail!!!

[@justinmusicandskateboardin9282]

@@ianhale4466 nothing about my analysis changes. It's still a scraped 5-0. Someone's body dimensions supposedly making them incapable of performing the correct actions doesn't just exempt them from rules of what defines a trick
