Freestyle Tricktip 6: Walk the Dog 

You are the best around Mr. Gale

So glad i found your channel. TOP notch stuff!

Aight thanks dude. It takes some time but I'll get there eventually

This is excellent. Makes so much sense now!

Best tutorial out for this trick!!!! Damn I wish I would've found tony years ago!!!!😩🤘🛹

Loving this series, Tony.

Freestyle is so humbling and since I'm a complete newb, I got riding, kickturns, carving down to a level where I feel comfy and know everyday I'm just practicing tic tacs, monster walks, endovers and walk the dogs! Thanks Tony, you're a gem! I realized I don't have to give in the rush to learn ollies as fast as possible - freestyle is sooooo fun. Nothing beats going into flow state and connecting a couple.

this was so helpful! was struggling with this for so long, but you explained it so well. gonna keep at it and hopefully be able to do it smoothly (I always lose balance after the 180)

Congrats for this scientific job Tony and the website too. Every trick explained, just waouh ! A reference !

Haven’t skated in a decade, but I still like watching others do it, and you do it effortlessly. Very cool that you’re taking the time to teach others what you know.

Krass :-) sehr gut erklärt, wie immer top ! Danke

Imagine walking the dog on the skateboard while also walking the dog with a yo-yo.

I don't know why it has taken 3 years of freestyle skating to sit down and watch the walk the dog tip but I made it here in the end. I don't think I'm far off just need to tidy a few parts up

cant wait to try it out again tomorrow, you really teach it well and with lots of details. thank you so much

Skate wizard 🧙‍♂️

Really helpful advice!

good tips, thank you

loving the videos, this channel should have more subs!

So nice have to comment twice lol did you have to kill it at the end man lol your a beast man that old school kickflip and primo tre flip ???? And most fluid space walk i have seen🤙🤘

Old guy again - I'm having issues trying to learn walk the dog, the main issue is balance with the feet so close together on a 27 inch cruiser board, with large sticky wheels that roll very easily (the board can easily roll out from under me with my feet so close together, but I just step off if this happens. The analogy is like trying to walk on slick ice, the wheels roll that good). Just the initial position with left foot forward in middle of board and right foot sideways at back of the board is taking some getting used to, but I'm moving too slow to use carving for balance. If I start with the right foot on the nose, the actual 180 isn't much of an issue, the main issue is maintaining balance on the small steps. It's probably figuring out how far forward my center of mass needs to move for each step or 180. I'm starting to get the hang of endovers, finally putting two 180's together, partially helped on the second 180 since I use front side kick turn adjustments for balance and/or to tighten turns if needed, but with endovers, my feet are near the ends of the board, not that close together, so balance is easier. I also had to figure out how far forward to move my center of mass for each endover, so I don't end up leaning forwards or backwards. (I'm moving slow at this point, so I can't can't on momentum to maintain balance on each 180). This may be a case where tightening up the trucks will help, as I have them somewhat loose now for tighter carving.

I can sometimes land the first one smoothly. But sometimes I slam down the nose and I definitely have problems keeping them clean 180s and doing it back to back. Getting back crossfoot out if the first pivot always feels awkward.

great explanation thanks!

I feel like the hip movement is important too, still cant keep my pivot foot centered enough tho (Previous comment was useless, saw your reply after i ousted it lol)

3:52 man goes super saiyan, especially at 1.5 speed Edit: thanks for the video, instructions very clear

Thanks a lot for all your tips you rocks

sick ender

Is it possible to do freestyle tricks on a regular skateboard?

🙏👌👏

Does the back foot rotate the board initially? Or is the rotation initiated more by the front foot?

Is that a tech deck you skating buddy lol

Would you consider a scarewalk trick tip Tony?

Aite…I’ve decided. I’m getting a dog. Thanks.

I've been working so fucking hard on this trick. my torso is so wobbly when i do it trying to keep balance, and i can't get the full 180 unless I'm swinging my arms. not gonna give up but damn it's frustrating when a trick that looks effortless is so so awkward to learn

What wheels are those?

Yea, but ever time I do the 180 my pivot foot is upfront on the board.

I can do it on pennyboard? ^^

Nerd skater noIicEe

Ancient white boy trick ;-)

I can only do it fakie
