Same applies to a lot of things. I skated when I was younger, and I've played pool for 20 years. Back then there was nobody on RU-vid to show you things. Now players progress so much faster with the help of online videos.
Facts.im learning at a faster rate than ever RU-vid is a gold mine for skaters I might a been pro if I had it growing up cause I had to learn from not very skilled slobs and kinda had to self teach to take it further
This morning I was practicing axle stalls and first try I rotated too fast and over rotated. I did a BS disaster completely on accident but since it wasn’t what I expected to do I stepped off the board. Then after I did that I realized what I just did so I watched the video I recorded and it looked perfect.. wish I would’ve kept my foot on and stuck it but here I am watching this video so I can learn to do it on purpose 😂
You rule Chad!!! Yeah it’s definitely my favorite trick now. My “go to” trick is the 50-50 and this trick is the next step for me. Can’t wait til I learn FS disasters and learn to launch them in the air a little
Oh my God. Thank you so much. I never thought of it like a kick turn out of the ramp. I've always popped the shit out of mine. So sometimes I land all the way on the deck and slip into the ramp. I'm going to fix my back d this week.
I never realised it was a switch rock happening in this trick that's really cool.. I am super comfortable doing rock 2 fakies but switch rock I have problem, not feeling the posture..
When I do switch rocks I have a different posture than a regular rock to fakie, I look into the ramp keeping my shoulders and head almost as if I was dropping in, but with regular rock fakies it feels natural to be backwards and looking back at the ramp.
Blinding man,extremely helpful. Love mini ramp skating,just got back into it after 20 years. The tricks are still a in my head but ironically it's my head,over thinking that's messing it up!! Anyway,cheers big styley. Ben from London.
I really like the way you explain the process of tricks. I'm the same age as the meaning of life (42), and your tutorials have helped me a lot with my progression. I'm way better now than I was when I used to skateboard at 10-14. My slams are a lot harder though. Picked up skateboarding again some 3-4 years ago. Last winter, me and my kids built a mini-ramp in the barn.
I learned it by ollieing into it and it seriously feels so good. I like throwing the hips around more and getting the slight over-rotation and hip twist. I couldn't picture doing it the other way. Wouldn't feel as good to me i think.
I learned this today and something that helped me was doing it with my legs as much as possible. Keeping my shoulders as straight as possible and only focusing on rotating my legs made it so my shoulders didn't over rotate
Yo these tutorials are the best! Because it’s so down to earth you can actually teach and bring up lots of funky stuff that gets in the way of a skater making the trick happen. Awesome analysis and positive encouraging attitude, definitely gets you psyched to skate! Killer stuff!
ive been doing back d's for a year or so now and theyre always so far into the ramp that my back truck just makes it over but i never even considered doing it just as an overshot kickturn, i so excited to go skate and try that new technique! thanks man!
Ive taken a 3 year break from skating, when i came back to it, the local skatepark moved and got a huuge upgrade. Like its a really nice park vs before the change where it was sketchy af, 20+ year old ramps from when bangor maine first built a skatepark in the 90s(i think, not sure). But since ive got back into skating, ive learned a few new tricks on the double miniramp bowl spine thing, whatever it is. 1 kid taught me switch rock, had the thought of it being a fakie rock to regular. Thinking that it was fakie helped me, but i also wondered why it felt so uncomfortable, thats because it was switch and i wish i didnt think over what it actually was because now im just failing at it now. Next trick was fakie 180 pivot(?) rock n roll, then the third trick was a quarter step forward going into willy from that fakie 180 pivot. Heck maybe next up is that first combination to nose grind, thatd be sick. Also relearned this funny trick i did before i paused my skating, willy to rock n roll, gotta get fast with them tippy taps. Willy, tap into rock then roll out to regular. I would like to learn blunt transfer on the spine but i cant seem to get myself to do it, i feel like there will be a little drop from the wheels going over the coping to the tail slapping onto the coping and it will startle me and I’ll just slip out. The weird thing is that i can tail drag right out of a blunt onto the deck of the mini no problem so why cant i just go over the spine?
I would love a video on popping them because I revert and over rotate my back disasters and I don’t really like the look, and do you also have any tips on how to keep my body on top of the board, because my board moves to the direction where I rotate but my body doesn’t follow it . You’re also a great teacher
If you learn to ollie in to it, not only does it look and feel much better, but it's way easier to adapt to different ramps and copings. Also you can learn various airs to disaster, but only if you can ollie in to them. I may be easier to learn without ollie, but it also limits that variations you could have done with it
Can you do the ollie into back disaster version🙏. I prefer to do a small ollie because occasionally you can’t slide into it if the mini has super big coping. Like gnarly pool coping that sticks out far. So the ollie version works on any coping.
I’ll be trying this today. Never thought to do it like that. I always Ollie into fronside disasters. And it looks like shit my feet go all over. Do you approach frontside the same way ? Sliding into it.
And that´s a mini ramp?? Omg not for beginners! I'm able to do that because I'm able to backside fifty with a lot of control, from there is way easier. But, in a mini ramp with no cooping of course. ;-)
