I'm sure you'll have a ton of people requesting more complex and difficult tricks. I hope you will continue to sprinkle in some of these very basic and simple beginner tricks as well. Thanks. Great job all around.
I love yellow painted curbs. Living here in Wisconsin, we don't have very many nice, steep, banked and heavily painted curbs the way California and the rest of the west coast does. However, we do have some straight curbs, and some happen to be painted yellow (if you're lucky) and they slide with a little wax. I have a nice one a few blocks from my house and it's my practice spot. I learn new grinds there and practice little nose slides and manual tricks. Yesterday I learned how to frontside 5-0 grind on the curb and was getting them much more consistently than ever before. 5-0 grinds have nothing to do with this video, I guess I just wanna say curbs are super fun no matter if you're doing slappies or ollie-based grinds.
this is a must watch for any beginner. Doin a simple nose stall on everything helped me learn how to do a lot of other moves when i learned how to skate.
Thank you for this tutorial, I am 44 years old ... or should I say young 😅 ... and started skating 4 month ago and can do an ollie now, and this will be my next trick to learn! 👍 Greetings from Austria 🛹🇦🇹🛹
Whenever it’s raining or I’m not skating I find myself binging your videos even all the ones I’ve already watched countless times. You rule Ben! you truly show that skateboarding is about the love and fun 🙌
What a nice channel. I'm 33. I stopped skating when I was 18 or 19 but this turned up in my recommended so I gave it a watch. Just letting you know that it's a cool thing you're doing man.
I just did my first slappy nose slide with your instruction. The way you described how to incrementally build up to a true nose slide made it very digestible for a beginner like me!
Great video! As a 39 year old beginner I had a pretty easy time following along with your tutorial. I'm still working up to increasing my "parallelness" to the curb and actually sliding, but just getting the stall down is fun. At first I was failing due to lack of speed and having my weight too far forward too early -- so I wasn't getting all the way onto the curb. Adding little more speed and unweighting my legs a bit more worked wonders.
Your video on turning board in transition on a ramp help me so much that I actually did it this past weekend. Watched the video about two weeks back and had the technique playing over in my head while waiting on the day I could get to the park. And it worked. Thank you 👍🏼
Great stuff! I've been digging slappy noseslides ontaller ledges lately. A little hesitant to add the pop due to fear but soon enough. A thing I think that is almost always missing in tutorials, even with flip tricks, is weight distribution conversation. You actually address it fairly often in your videos, so good on ya!
I just landed my first one today! At first I didn't understand the movement and the flow, but thanks to your tutorial, I got it down! Thank you so much!!!!!!
I love the vibe you give man. I started skating 2 months ago to spend time with my son, I’m 37 😳 . I found your videos and have been completely beneficial to my progression. Keep the content coming, especially the easier tricks for peeps like me.
Confession: my 12 yo got inspired by Sabre Norris and got my old board out. 20 years since I last skated (I was not good at it either) and I'm learning to skate again at forty-[censored] years old. Now I'm out skating with my favorite person (1 of 2) and the younger one is getting interested too. Just Keep Skating is great, because like us, it's a dad and his kid (except YT dad is waaaaaaaay better than me). And the videos are actually useful & on topic.
Any tutorial is a good tutorial. We are all at different levels of ability so I say bring it all on. It’ll only help. Much love and thank you for the videos.
Nice memories from the early 90's , my favorite was slappy nose slide to krooked grind (with speed of course) i learn it from from a Ron Knigge in the New Deal vidéo in 1992 i think .
Dude I'm learning these atm and I'm so hyped to go out tommorow and try again. I'm starting to get a little slide in here and there. Thanks for the very helpful video :)
I'll be following this new adventure. Talking forever about trucks wheelbase and steepness of boards hook me up to your very welcomed tips so this ones about tricks will be very appreciated. Thanks.
so i watched this video last year thinking this would just be one of those tricks i only sumtimes do but honestlly slappy noseslides are somthing i do everytime i skate
Saw a cast in the montage, me I broke my hand too on my first board down hilling when I was 15 iam 48 still skate every chance I get. Iam glad I didn't quite. Keep Skating!✌️💯
I want your trick tips for frontside boardslides and frontside noseslides. I’ve got them good but not consistent. Great idea to have the second channel! One more subscription to look forward to 😁
This was one of the first tricks I ever learned back in the day. I love a good noseslide. I've worn through the Everslick on the nose of my Creature doing them. Good video.
This is coming at a really good time me and my friends want to learn slappys and I also want to learn how to eventually nose slide on ledges so this is great! Also a slappy 5050 (front or back) would be great too!
The hardest thing I find about doing these is keeping my board parallel-that seems to be the whole trick to it. I'm mostly parallel, but I still notice I have a bit of an angle that just ruins my slide & turns it into a curb bumper "kickturn" my best is about 6 inches long to a foot at best. These are way more difficult than they look, but so fun. Just stay parallel & lean your weight towards the curb, then just repeat 1,000 times lol.
Hey Ben! Love your main channel vids and am excited about this new channel, I wanted to ask some questions that you could make into videos or just give me advice on, firstly, when learning new tricks, I can't ever fully commit to them on flatground, no matter how much I try I'm never able to land with both feet, one of my feet always makes it's way back to the ground until I try them on grass or some other soft floor, and from there I always have to progress my way up to get them on normal flatground, and I hate that because some of my friends can fully commit to new tricks with very little effort, I just want to know if my commitment issues will go away with more experience, besides that some real video ideas would be how to fakie ollie down things, kickflips, nose manuals, and 50-50's
I love your tutorials from your other channel and actually they brought me into loving slappys:D i never did slappys before, but MAN i would love a tutorial on an Impossible at some point! you can never have enough of those
Dude, love your content!!! Do you have advice for young (and infant) skaters on equipment? Sizes of wheel, trucks, decks, etc. Make a vid with your advice!
Hey, I'm pretty beginner and I know on ur main channel you did a kickflip tip, but do you reckon you'd be going through basic flip tricks and maybe stuff like BS180? Just wondering, as I would really love that.
Thank you so much! I'm so looking forward to try this. Ive done nose stalls in higher curves and a slappy nose slide never occured to me xD And it looks sooo much fun. Thank you!
O: wheels matter! I've been practicing like crazy and couldn't get it to slide ( 56mm thought riders 80a) so i swapped the wheels (51 Stf V4) and nailed it! It was freaking scary at first 😂😂😂
