My name's Mike, I'm a sponsored skater for Shell Shock Skateboards and a mechanical engineering graduate from stony brook university
I'm the only skater on this channel, everything you see was made and done by myself Engineering and life stuff happens a lot with me, so I try to skate when I can! (which ends up being once or twice a week unfortunately). So if you see that I haven't uploaded anything in a while, it's because of that. So yeah, there could be times when my uploading rate becomes pretty slow, but no worries. My main goal for this channel is to try to make trick tips for every trick I know, so I'll probably be on youtube uploading videos for quite some time, for sure haha ======
Kudos homie - I was rewatching this over and over trying to decide if since it was nollie, does that mean that your front left foot is supposed to do the under-scoop of the nose/edge-of-board to create the flip-motion? But then i remembered just cuz you pop from the nose with your left foot, the tail-end of the board is still with your back right foot, and sure enough your back right foot does the over/under scoop to flip the board! Ive been studying flatground hardcore lately and i wanna be able to recognize tricks in real time - but of course with these Id be fucking hopeless without slow-mo or an explanation - thats how u know you're landing the big boy tricks, when no one can understand what they're seeing haha congrats man! I see this is 11 years/13 years old now, so i hope u kept it up cuz you certainly had some skills to stick this nerdie-gazelle flip!!! Kudos again my man! Excellent! 🤘☠️🤘
6:53 never related to anything more in a skate tutorial, “one foot off” land halted my progress for months learning kickflips I could’ve been actually learning the trick😭
Why is this the shove it tutorial vid on that app 😭 congrats ans I learned my broken phone case still works on vibes alone 'cause of that jump i tried to recreate off my board (shocker my vertical is dog water) i used to be heavy so i have some monster legs not exactly built for skating rn
Im getting the back foot on fine my front foot always lands to the side or in front of the board. It’s like it doesn’t stay In the air long enough. I don’t think I’m flipping down. It’s more like my leg goes too far out when I flick and I can’t get my foot back over the bolts in time to land. So frustrating. I’m finally flipping the board on most tries though so that’s progress, I couldn’t do that a couple weeks ago. Edit: ahh the sucking the legs back in, I’ll try that. That’s probably what I’m not doing.
That’s interesting, I watched a trick tip video recently where they instructed us to flick with our toes. I tried this and it seemed to help a bit. I guess you’d have to get your foot on top of the board a little more do you can dip your toe down to make contact with the board. But that seems to help me. Most ppl probably flick with their heel though. I’m curious how everyone and how pros do it. Great video, sir.
