Skateboarding at 44 years old... This is not a tutorial. It's just the struggle. Oh… this Chris Pulman video part is basically no-comply heaven: • CHRIS PULMAN FULL “SAT... #beginners #over40 #skateboarding
Keep up the great work! I am also over 40 and getting back into skating. This is one I’ve been working on. I found what helps me the most is to turn my shoulders first and have the rest of my body follow. Also, front foot on the bolts helped me have more control
Love the devo homie, got a good laugh out of this video too. Only because it reminded me of myself attempting this same trick. I mean it should be simple right, but it's not....🤘💪 POSITIVE VIBES FROM SOUTHWEST GA. USA
Hey! Always nice to see a new one of your vids. Your board flips because the "best" way to do a no comply straight or 180 is to pop it so the board comes up and taps against the inside of your popping leg, so your leg acts as a guide/prevents flipping. I'd recommend learning to take off your front foot with your back foot already on the tail, too. It's one smooth movement. Have fun and keep going!
🙌🏻 thanks for the compliment. I had thought that breaking it down into steps would help, but on reflection (seeing Sarah Marriott’s explainer and that Tom guy) clearly there’s no real advantage. I just have to start with the proper way (like you said) with the foot at the tail.
You are well on your way. NC180 was the first trick I wanted to learn over the popular ones, like the kickflip, because it was different, safer, yet still steezy. You'll want to modify your technique asap so that you are actually keeping your weight more on the back foot before you shove (5% front foot, 95% back). Crouch slightly down to create tension, then in one motion, turn and rotate your body to your left (if regular) and step off you front foot and shove at the same time. When you shove, move your shove foot slightly forward as you do it so it moves with your foot and doesn't fly out to the right. Once you see the board make complete 180 rotation, get back on with the shove foot first, then your back foot. Key point is the weight distribution and timing of the step off and shove. Before the shove, the front foot is just barely holding the front of the board from popping up, like it's spring-loaded. That way when you do step off, the shove happens with minimal force (no pop) and you have more control to focus on jumping back on your board.
@Ungracefulmovement My pleasure. It took me more than a year to perfect, and I hope it will take you much less time. Here is one of the many good tutorials I watched that best illustrates the "spring-loaded shove" I mentioned: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ko60tv08F9E.htmlsi=lD5CcoVkfkyA4LaG
Wow, you’re very close. I’ve been trying off and on for months now and only just getting close to jumping on. That tip about leaning forward really helps and I found Sarah Parks video extremely helpful. Really enjoying catching up on your videos and loving that Devo shirt 😊
Having a session like this definitely helps I think… dedicating a whole skate to learning one trick. I’m going back to that video. I’ve seen one where someone else follows it note for note and wins at no-comply
One more session and you’ll nail it. I need to do more of that. Dunno if it’s a symptom of my age (48 - skating for a year) but I feel like I need to squeeze in so much each session!
@@scottthomson6890 I just want to have fun. the expectation of trying the same thing over and over without success is not it, but there are moments in that session that will be.
I much prefer the 'give it no more than 20 tries per session' method. I can only skate so much in a session and battling one or two tricks for an entire session seems like a waste these days. BTW, seeing you skate that car park gets me stoked for ya. Honestly, skate that as much as possible, it should provide you with all the options to help you build a solid foundation. Having a good slappy curb is nice bonus too. Keep up the good work, dude.
@@user-hl7ho8qi6v sadly if I followed that logic I’d have no tricks in the bag. I get demoralised quickly, so have to force myself to trust the process. This carpark is literally my favourite place to skate rn.
Really glad you posted this as great to see the process. Positive you’ll get them and then muscle memory will kick in and you’ll be throwing them out every sesh… Can’t really help other than say less is more when scooping as otherwise the board just pops ahead too far. I’m just stoked that no complys and their variations are still popular which for once makes me current by default 🤣🤣🤣 Rad vid ✌🏻
I think they’re ‘back’. I don’t think I’m gonna flip a board ever, so things like this and boneless might be my achievable goals. Hope you did like the vid - was a bit unsure myself.
@@Ungracefulmovement , I’m having no joy with flip tricks but I love playing around with pop Shuvs, Nollie shuvs , 180’s and of course the different No Comply’s. Fakie bigspin is also a nice one and doesn’t involve any flipping witchcraft, there’s loads of cool non flip tricks to master, please send some of your stuff to Scott at Dad Leisure for his team edit 🙏🏻 you do some rad shuvs and the those curb nose slides too. Yer the vid was a good one but you’ve defo got some natural ability for speaking to the camera as I recon you’d make applying griptap worth watching. I erm every sentence and waffle shite but I feel an edit needs an intro and outro regardless 🫡
Hi mate, def on the road to nailing that. I’m trying to learn this too. One thing that really helped me was some advice from Ben degroes about seeing stepping off and then scooping as a kind of spring loaded type thing. Also, might be worth trying to land switch rather than fakie.
I will no comply! Such a nice trick, if done right. I do a little commitment issue double step before landing on the board. Need to work on that... All those old school tricks look so nice with proper styling.
I feel like watching Chris Pulman back in the day it was such a goofy but cool move. Check the last video from @simonvidetta1976 for some really clean executions
when you are practising the shuvit part of it, don't take your foot off the board and stamp in to it. You gotta practise shuving it round with your foot on the tail to start with. You will then find it more natural to push it round, and it's closer to what your foot will be doing when you do the full trick. Know what I mean?
