r/skateboardhelp

All content must be related to skateboarding progression or help.

Please stay on topic, and post off topic content to its appropriate subreddit.

This means:

• No longboarding
• No rollerskates/blades
• No snowboarding
• No surfskates

We have nothing against the listed activites, but we don't have the resources to help new members with these. Refer to the appropriate subreddits for help.

OC tutorials/gear reviews are welcome as long as they are focused, get straight to the point, cover common mistakes, and are not vlogs.

Do not beg for items or money.

No racism, sexism, homophobia, bigotry, and harrasment.

There is zero tolerance for any of this. If you are experiencing this or witness this happening in this subreddit, please report it or message the mod team. Offenders will be banned.

Refer to the wiki before asking for help.

The wiki answers common questions, and has guides for skateboard parts and protective gear. The wiki serves to reduce the amount of general questions (ie How do I ollie? What parts do I need to make a skateboard?) Please make sure that your question isn't covered by the wiki before asking for help, as it may be removed.

No gear or art posts. Submit these to the discord server or /r/Skateboardlove.

These posts push down posts that ask for actual skate help.

Gear posts include, but not limited to:

• Showing off your board/shoes
• Pics of razor tail
• Showing off holiday gifts
• Clothing
• Your shopping cart

Exceptions to the rule include, but not limited to:

• Showing a part of your board that has a problem (ie busted bushing, rock stuck in wheel)
• Checking the condition of a part (ie rusty axles)

No reposts.

Please do not repost your questions if they have been answered, or if it was removed by automod/a mod. If your post isn't a repost but automod removes it, please contact the mod team.

No advertising or spam.

Do not advertise or spam. These posts will be removed without warning. Repeated offenders will face bans.

This includes, but not limited to:

• Your YouTube channel
• Your streaming channel
• Your business brand
• Your petition/survey
• Giveaways

Mod decisions are final.

No memes.

This falls under the spam category, even if it skating related. These posts will be removed without warning.

Post your skate memes on /r/skateboardcirclejerk/

No NSFW or sexually-suggestive content.

This is not a NSFW subreddit. Please do not post anything NSFW or sexually-suggestive. If you think your post may violate these rules, do not post it.

No NSFL content or injury posts.

No gore, blood, violence, etc. This includes media of your injuries.

Reddit likes to ban subreddits that gain bad press, and we didn’t want to be held liable for hosting an image board of NSFL and injury posts, especially when minors start to join in on this trend.

Media must be of yourself skating.

Posting someone else skating won't give you better skating skills, and these posts push down posts asking for help. If you are posting on the behalf of someone else, then this rule doesn't apply.

Use the pinned discussion megathread to share prohibited content (with some restrictions).

Use the pinned discussion megathread to share prohibited content.

Rule 1, 2, 6, 8, 9 still apply to these threads. Everything else is fair game.
