Youre a good dude, dont be down on yourself for being you. The thing some people forget about skateboarding is that we are all on different levels. You met me a month after I got back into skateboarding since my injury. Im starting at square 1 again because of my injury and you never cut me down for barely being able to ollie now, and its really appreciated.
While I'll avoid my own experience, I will chime in and say that people are getting weirder. We live a culture that's constantly emoting negative energy from everywhere. Never had this issue back in the day (bad vibes at a session that got out of hand). A lot of the times, at least at my local, the vibe is "get out of here old man". Don't really know what to say to that. There's no winning though. Land a trick perfectly and you get vibed. Don't land anything and you get vibed. Just wanna cruise and do ollies and wall rides...anyway, I've sort of found my own spot that no one's at during the weekend, which has been a blessing. take care out there.
man to be hinest you put out some seriously passive aggressive snowflake energy. what you did to those guys was rude, and instead of just saying oh sorry my bad, you make a video whining about your weird perception of skateboarding
all the little anti sjw comments you make gives me the impression you're not as in favor of keeping the park inclusive as you say you are. when your local trans skater pulls up you probably tell them they need to leave cause it makes you uncomfertable.
i mean its a pretty common and well know unwritten rule that if someone is trying a trick on an obstacle dont go up to the same obstacle and try that trick. thats rude, man! its bot about being a show off, no one cares about that. it just seems like you lack manners, like covering your mouth when you cough
I know this is technically correct, since you come from the same side as you would on a regular lipslide, but does anybody else feel nollie lipslide should be getting the front truck over the rail?
At first I HATED this shoe, they hurt my feet breaking then in, it felt like i couldn’t do any tricks and had no grip, i eventually got used to it and loved it. I think most people need to get used to some shoes
Well, just in case the anonymous guys I talked about in the video are watching I don’t wanna further damage them or our relationship. I want them to know that I’m not calling them out, but I’m expressing what they helped me learn and how they helped me grow as a person and a RU-vidr. I don’t know why my replies keep disappearing, and I can’t see them on other peoples comments. I did reply. Maybe RU-vid thinks I’m spamming with all those comments at once.
"I am a middle aged fat man who's trying to make RU-vid videos" same her dude lol. Made a lot of good points dude. Especially from a creators perspective
Hahaha I filmed this video over multiple days. I don’t know how many times I ended the video in this video probably three or four. I just watched it all the way through the next day. I gotta stop making videos where AI edits the video for me.
I wanted to see the "fight" !! Hah Im a bit of a loner at the skatepark myself. I do enjoy helping young ones even though im not all that good. I also have one earbud in my ear at all times.
Skateboarders are _not_ chill. It's the opposite - they spend waaaay too much energy on clothing and trying to impress, fit in, make an impression. They're so self-aware and insecure it's embarrassing. Combined with low IQ and a warped sense of importance it's so disgusting. Skaters and skateboarding are retarded. I encourage everyone to do something else.
You are a good dude, Sir. Anyone who takes the time to know you will see that all your skating comes from a good place. And you are a great teacher. That is what initially brought me in years ago. I like to look stylish when I skate. Look good, feel good, skate good. Humble about my slow skating 💯. I want to skate fast, but I lose control when I skate fast. I need to finish a lot of videos. I've been skating a lot but not editing. I am grateful that people stick with the channel when I am not uploading. The most views I ever got on a short was 23k. Normally just 1000. But my long form videos average just over 1000 in the life span of the videos. I know what I am doing wrong, I will adjust when I have more time starting in November. Stay Rad Sir. Appreciate you.
Thanks, I really appreciate that. You’re one of the only people that has actually met me in real life that comments on my videos. That means a lot. You’re a good guy too. I’m just trying to figure out this whole RU-vid thing still.
Listen my man, Ive never seen your channel before, this is the first time I ever watched ur videos, it just popped up in my feed, so Im basing my judgement here on 2 things. ONE: That you are telling the truth and not leaving anything out and TWO: A 20 minute video that is the only insight into the type of person you are. None of this is meant to put you down or slight you, if it comes off that way at all its just how I talk/type, Im 100% on your side here. That said, you are being WAAAY to hard on yourself and you are making excuses for the other dudes issues/bad behavior, you are not the problem here, at all, in the least, ever. The dude is mental. Telling people when you first meet them that you have a youtube/insta, talking about the fact that you love to skateboard and maybe one more thing you mentioned I cant remember... ITS NOT BRAGGING!!! You arent bragging, you arent being cocky, you are not showing off. Those are normal things that normal people do when they meet new people. When I meet people I talk about my love of 3d animation, if they seem interested I sometimes whip out my phone and show them some of my work. Its the most normal of normal things people do. Its called introducing yourself lol. Especially when you are at a skatepark, of course you are gonna talk about skateboarding! The fact that you made this video tells me you are a super humble dude, you dont come off as cocky or braggadocios, you come off as a chill dude. First the fact that this dude got pressed because you stopped recording is nuts. I got the impression you were there recording yourself and he happened to be there, so how does this dude get it in his head to get upset that you put your phone away and stopped recording. Dude is a stranger to you and he gets mad at you for putting your camera away when you dont even know him and he never said anything to you before hand? He just expected you know that he wanted you to keep recording and then flipped when you didnt? Thats 100% on him, not you, hes psycho. Then he got bent because you landed a trick he was working on? AGAIN complete psycho!! Nothing you did or said was wrong or bad or out of line. I get where you are coming from, you are trying to look at the situation from all angles and figure out what you could do differently, thats a very noble way to live, however in my years of life (Im few years older than you) I realized that sometimes you are gonna be in a situation where no matter what you did or said or tried or didnt do or didnt say, there are just assholes who are gonna asshole. I try to be the same way as you, I figure out what I could have done differently but I realized that line of thinking sometimes leads to a fucked up place, (you are there right now) where you are beating yourself up and trying to figure out what you did wrong... WHEN YOU DID NOTHING WRONG!!! Sometimes you gotta call an asshole an asshole and there isnt anything wrong with that. Learn from this experience and grow, take the lesson this dude taught you. You really really gotta stop beating ur self up over this, blaming yourself and trying to find fault in yourself or finding what you could have done different. This has nothing to do with you and everythign to do wit the other dude. When he started chirping at you for putting the camera away, I would have just said "You didnt say anything before hand, am I supposed to read your mind?" Dude was probably frustrated cuz he was having trouble landing a trick and he took it out on you. Dont let people do that to you! You dont have to get into a fist fight, but dont take shit from people like that either, they are bullies, ESPECIALLY dont go beating yourself up afterwards.
Well, just in case the anonymous guys I talked about in the video are watching I don’t wanna further damage them or our relationship. I want them to know that I’m not calling them out, but I’m expressing what they helped me learn and how they helped me grow as a person and a RU-vidr.
Started at the bottom....and I'll stay there lol I'm good with grinds and no complys and some freestyle here and there, I can kick flip but but not land it 😅yet .
I was trying to learn no comply 180... And a dude started doing it in from of me, for a split second I was like wtf, I took my head phones off and the first thing he told me was " do you want to know how to do it"? 😂 I was like hell yeah!!!
I do block my self with big ass headphones😂 but if you wave at me I will take them off and listen, the things it's I get really distracted with all the noise around very very easily
Haha maybe it’s because I had AI edit this video. It cut the clips at weird times. What is it that’s weird about the way I talk? RU-vid is kind of like acting. I’ve only had one theater class in college, so I’m not an actor.
True, I think part of it was when I introduced myself to him I told him about having a RU-vid channel. That can come off as bragging. I tend to think of it as saying: I’m one of those kind of people. I feel like when you say you have a RU-vid channel It’s like hey I’m more like Andy Schrock, than Nyjah. Wow I’m talking into my phone and it wrote the N-word instead of Nyjah. I gotta really check the spelling on things whenever I talk into my phone like this.
unless youre leaving something out, youre not in the wrong in either situation. just because you upset someone doesnt mean you did something wrong. its your camera and your time. if he wants you to film he can communicate that to you. and holding a grudge over that for a significant amount of time is kind of insane. sounds like he has some deeper issues. wanting to fight someone over inadvertently doing a trick hes struggling with? its one thing to try to show someone up and purposefully do the same trick, but again, the way you described it it just sounds like he has some deeper issues as well. its not your job to babysit everyone at the park and all their insecurities, entitlement, and expectations.
Yeah, I really didn’t notice he was doing anything. I am always in my own head. I have to be more conscious of what other people are doing. If it’s a really busy Skatepark, I try to be conscious so I don’t get hurt and don’t hurt someone else. I’ve been skating in indoor park lately and there you really have to pay attention to what other people are doing so you don’t have a collision. In that situation, he didn’t tell me he was mad until months later. The other guy that got mad about the trick was way more mad. But it’s because when I introduced myself to him, I told him I had a RU-vid channel. That can come off as bragging. I tend to think it comes off as hey I’m weird. I’m more like Andy Schrock than Nijah.
@@Michael_Relevant yeah that makes sense he probably thought you were trying to show him up. might be less risk if you wait til youre saying bye/leaving to tell people about your accounts... edit: I think youtube might be deleting your comments btw I cant see any of your replies anymore
@@DaTriggaFinger really? they’ll probably show back up. Weird stuff happens on this RU-vid channel. Sometimes things disappear and then they’re back again kinda like on TikTok. I know I’m commenting from another account but that’s the only account I’m signed in on this phone with. I have two phones right now. I’m in the process of just having one.
Yeah, I wish I had filmed that because that would’ve actually gone viral. They thought I was a dentist the whole time because I was wearing a shirt from the dentist.
i almost never get wheelbite. my biggest trucks are indy 149s, even on 9-10" boards. i usually run trucks a size smaller than my board but with a bit wider wheel.
i always thought that was dumb, getting mad about someone trying/doing the same trick or ABDs. i mean surely you can come across as a showoff or asshole if you come do a trick while someone is trying it if you're a repeat offender or something. i usually skate by myself, but i don't usually pay much mind to what other people are doing.
Yeah, there’s a few times where people trying to fight me over girls and stuff growing up at the Skatepark, but I always ended up talking them down and hugging them. I know that sounds weird, but that’s what happened. People around were like wow that went way better than I thought it would.
Yeah, and these are two different people. The guy that got mad at me for putting the camera up wasn’t gonna fight me, but the guy they got mad at me for doing the trick was really angry at me. I can understand if I’m trying to drink and he’s trying to trick at the same time then I just put the camera up how that could make someone feel. That one was probably seven years ago or something. The one that got mad at me for doing the trick was the day I filmed some of these clips.
I purposely filmed this video on many different cameras to see the difference between different focal lengths and how it affects my face. We’ve got an 85mm lens, a fisheye lens 20mm lens and an iPhone camera.
@@diplenski haha naw I did it on purpose even switching cameras in the middle of a sentence to see if people noticed. I look like a totally different person in every minute scene of this video.
@@diplenski you can tell the phone video because it makes me look better than I actually do. I’m all orange and tan on the iPhone. On my camera, I’m all red and blotchy. Certain cameras make me look more red.
