You are the man. You represent all of us Dads juggling work, family life and finding refuge with skateboarding (which has it's own challenges 😂) keep going bro, thanks for the series
I am counting the ones with the tip of the toe and the slip out where both feet stayed on. This was an awesome display of will power. Additionally, I will count all 20 pushups. They were solid. You definitely inspired people to include myself. Shout-out to your wife for the support and congrats on completing the challenge. Stay Rad Sir.
Good stuff 👍 I’ve been getting back to skating at 40 and posting videos. It’s nice to see others doing the same. I was never without a board, but definitely got some rust to shake off. Also need to work on general fitness and mobility. I find people are pretty positive and encouraging, which is nice to see bc there is no shortage of negativity out there. Keep at it.
Nice work. Kickflips are so tricky to learn. I have been working on getting them solid for around 2 years. Similar to you I land some and then miss a bunch. That said, the more I do them the more I understand them and I am able to know what I am doing wrong. Your video inspires me to record some of the attempts to help dial them in. Thanks for posting.
heck yea man gettin it done! you are an inspiration! I'm 28 married with one son its awesome to see other people progressing. I put my first video up on yt recently im just getting kickflips good stuff man!
Thanks so much man!!! Yeah def not easy with kids!! I been slacking on the attempts since this challenge but gonna get back to them soon!! Ill shoot ya a sub!! 🤘
The board is spining behind you cause the ball of the foot has to be in the centre of the tail. When your toe is near the right edge of the board its going to spin 90° behing you. Try different foot positions instead of just the same thing over again. Thats not going to channge anything to do the same thing. Kick your front foot more forward out, like a foot more at least, forward not down, and flick more with your toes, its not spining enough. Role your ankle towards your crotch till the bottome of the foot is almost vertical with your leg and flick your foot out as far ss it will go. It looks like your foot is just staying flat to the deck. Small little changes with your feet make huge huge changes to what youre doing. I didnt realize this for a long long time. Cool comcept. Makes me want to try this method.
Thank you for doing this man! Congrats on holding true to your word and seeing it through. Stoked you landed some🙏🏻💪🏻it was a fun journey to watch. Thanks for the motivation to get out there myself. The push-ups help so much haha I definitely do that too😂. I still haven’t landed one and have taken the last two days off but will keep plugging away. Enjoy the break you’ve more than earned it.
Epic battle scene 😎. 221 attempts wow. Really cool shouting out wifey, to all the ladies that put up w grown men skateboarding thank you... it has become a passion for us old dudes. I'm gonna miss the nightly videos bro, although im learning what a pain it can be to edit (fun too). Thanks for all your efforts and bringing us along❤
Thanks so much man!! Yeah its not only been hard on me but for her as well so felt she def deserved the shout out. Lol thanks so much for all the support and kind words and keep it up man!!! 🤘
@@kittymeow2324 hero. Hubby can't be who he is without you... my kiddos are 7 and 8, I'd love to be able to say it gets easier, but i think the truth is some things get easier then new challenges come up. But i promise in 2-4 years you WILL sleep again... not before then tho🙌🫶👍🛹
I’m going to go back and watch the first videos. I think I’m going to be amazed with the progress. It feels like you’re not that far off starting to land them more consistently. When you do it’s time for the next two steps. Rolling and getting them less rocketed. Good work bud!
@@fatdadskatesbad Watched some of the early vids. So much better. Much more spring and height, faster flip, no yeeting (you had the same problem I saw!) and getting them under you. Such progress!
@@RikRiorik thanks man def heading in the right direction!!! I am gonna rest up and just make them a staple of every skate session even if its just a handful of attempts and think I will eventually have them down to be somewhat consistent. Worst thing for me to do would be to stop trying I would be back at square one in no time. But for now I need to let my back and legs rest a bit lol.
I can't believe how many attempts....I was talking to you outloud after 100,begging you to stop..lol Your gonna need a walker tomorrow 😂😂 Bro,so proud of you for pushing. Stay Blessed my brother ❤
no idea how i ended up here but my brother you're a legend. I'm 28 and a father myself, and have been out of skating for about 11 years now. might be pushing the old alien workshop tomorrow after work! awesome stuff man.
You are so close... just remember that if you quit, you will NEVER kickflip...but if you keep practicing and never quit...one day, you will be a kickflipper!
Over 50 skater here, it took me awhile dude but I finally got it the way I wanted it! Popped and caught and man it felt great! Trust me I posted all my attempts and it was ugly!😂 It really helped me to get my ollies good first. I know you don’t wanna hear that but it’s the foundation of everything. Hang in there young man!🛹❤️🙌
okay sorce trust me is when flicking dont flick the nose nose flick kinda more to the side rather then up i promise its a tip noone gives but is so helpful
I’ve been doing a few more. Can’t get my feet on there but something has clicked with the flick and the board is no longer yeeted away from me. I’m actually surprised I’m doing so well. If I were to do 30 days I might make it too! Inspired!
First of all I want to congratulate you on landing backflips through whole 30 day challenge! Second thing is that i couldnt belive that you had strenght to actually do it ( i can't and im 36 lol). Third thing, how did you have strenght for 221 kickflips at last day? 😅 Overall you have been such a great inspiration! I think that something is going on with skateboarding, it's like there is new/old movement going on and it's great to be part of it again. You contributed to that cause with your videos, well donne!
Thanks so much for the kind words. Was full of all sorts of adrenaline for the last day. Really wanted to get one beautiful clean one but couldnt pull it off. Got one that was close and 3 sloppy ones so I did what I could!! Thanks for the kind words!! 🤘
This might be a weird one but take something sugary with you, after the 100 attempts I can see the energy fading from your body which is helped by a sugar dip after so many attempts! Many of my mates take a banana or some other fruit with them for longer sessions in whatever sport! Keep on rippin mate!
