Ohhhhh, I should spot further down the box. I've been spotting right to the side of where I'm starting and I always stop right there. Thanks for this tutorial. I've been stuck on this for a couple of months!!!!
Shorty!! I literally thought about trying this for the first time last week, decided to check if you had a tutorial on it before I hit the park today, and saw that you posted one 3 days ago-- how are you reading my mind?!
I assume you are skating straight at the jump as you jump? I don't have a tutorial on that trick exactly but I do have one for jumping 180 over obstacles that might help you. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IEcB53ERfp4.html
Hey Shorty, I'm having an issue where my front wheels making contact with the ledge stop all my sideways momentum... I have the Bont Flow wheels in 89A. I slide great when my front wheels don't contact the ledge. Do you reckon I need to change my stance to keep my front wheels up, or wax the hell out of the tip of the ledge? Or something else?
So you can do 1 of 3 things and I guess it depends on the surface your skating as well. Like you said you can 1. Wax the ledge (and I would do it where your wheels are touching on the deck and not the corner because if you blocks are sliding well it’s not needed there) 2. Angle your feet so that your wheels don’t touch but it is harder to balance for longer so I tend to use more speed to try and stay on longer 3. Harder wheels will also help. Something like 99a-101a
Shorty I want to try this but I have trouble jumping while going up the incline. It’s like I end up trying to jump on my front wheels instead of how I squally do when I’m on flat ground.
I do that too.. I really have to focus on jumping flat foot and lifting the knees. You also need a bit of speed/ momentum to get you up the incline before you can jump. And don't jump too early. Feel free to DM me some footage on my IG @shortstop.6
They are going well, but for long term durability (if you want the same plate for many years) and not too much extra weight the Tracer plate might be a better option. That's if weight isn't an issue.
