hey man, i don’t skate anymore because i had so many injuries, i play music now. I just wanted to come back to one of my favorite skaters to say this: man you fucking inspired me, no one is ever gonna steal the impact that you left on me. You big man, you left an impression on me like something you’ll never know. You gave me hope, to be on top of the world. Your spirit will live on homie, i love you.
when i flick the bs flips the board didnt rotate. its like im doing an alpha flips, im sticking with this tricks for months and i dont know what to do :D
hardflips are one of the most beautiful skate tricks you can do (in my opinion) its one of my favorite or my favorite trick when it comes to skating on the street, and combining it with a nose-slide or tail-slide is perfect
Im gonna apply the do a treflip but spin and see how it goes, i got bs 360s for days but ive always had trouble trying to figure this out . My homie that taught mt 3s has this too and i gotta learn
I very always had a terrible time with back 180s in general but noticed if I force my land on what's originally my front foot then I'm able to pivot the last few degrees and it sets my weight up right to continue momentum. I found this rings true for bs flips as well but noticed watching your back bigspin video that this not how you were landing so that throws off my theory of it working for all bs rotation tricks
What you should've stressed on is that your upper body has to do a 180 first to have the lower body slingshot twist to make the full powered rotation. When we try to turn the whole body at the same time, it's harder unless you have superhuman pop.
Confidence is all you need, work on popping off the coping, you can do it into rock fakies to get comfortable. Hopping off the transition with grabs is an easy option to get confident landing in the transition (indy is probably the easiest), and ollies on the transition, you can start low and get your confidence up that way.
Just learned these today rotated all in air!! Do a backside 360 but lean more on your back foot! That helped me out a lot. Mastering backside 360s is definitely important too
I’ve been trying these for months but could never figure out why my body and board don’t spin simultaneously! Ima try this whenever the sun comes up only if it wasn’t 3:40am lol thanks VATO!
I got most of the movement down and was comfortable quite early on, but for about a year I couldn't land them and I kept landing either on my nose or ahead of the board due to leaning too far forward. I just started landing them clean (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SN3LXbvujfU.html) and what I discovered is that in order to properly execute this trick, the amount of "leaning" back feels extremely unnatural and uncomfortable. Because the setup for the trick is so awkward and feels like you're balancing on a tightrope while solving a rubik's cube, the natural inclination is to lean your head and top of shoulders forward (hunching) to try to balance it out, because it feels like you're just asking to fall backwards. Only when I was able to overcome this tendency and trust in myself to lean back (which actually looks more just like being perfectly straight upright, but feels like I'm actively leaning back), did the trick magically come together for me. The way you have to balance in the awkward setup position requires a lot of conditioning of your body and muscles - most people like myself will need thousands of attempts to do that. Other things that helped me get it: making sure my front hand hovered directly over the board (tendency was for shoulder to open up and hand to chill behind board), making sure my back hand is a little in front of the board, basically my back elbow almost nests over my back knee (this also helps you naturally end up with pressure on the back toes), and for me personally I had much more success when I loosened my back trucks up a bit - this seemed to help the board naturally tilt more the way I needed it to when loading up for the spring/pop/scoop. I took many slams and immense disappointment and doubt in myself along the way, and "gave up" several times only to find the passion again later on. Learned this trick at age 37 - couldn't bear the thought of becoming an old man and lying on my death bed with regret for never having learned something I wanted so bad. The feeling of success cannot be described. Good luck to all on the same journey.
