This Is Actually Making Me A Better Skater. First Week 

“WOAH don’t look” had me dying 5:55

Took a good decade off of skating (15-25)... drugs, partying, work, you know the deal. A friend reached out to me a few months back to go skating and I said fuck it why not. Managed to land a tre and a few kickflips and it felt so good I went out and set up a new board a few days later. He turned me onto your channel too, and since then skating has kind of taken over my life. When I was growing up almost all of the skating I was was watching was pretty refined. Everything I saw was in video parts, aside from a few local shredders. Seeing how truly consistent you are on a skateboard made me realize what skating can be. It doesn't have to be about hucking yourself down big stuff to get clips. Watching you flow around a park is kind of like watching a really talented musician improvise. It has inspired me to get back on the board and get serious about improving... not for a sponsorship or a brand deal, but for the incredible feeling of flowing around and being able to express yourself on a skateboard. You're the man Dan, keep it up!

Hey Dan , appreciate your videos man I skated as a teenager and quit because I just wasn’t getting better compared to my peers , at 24 I got into a car accident and was partially paralyzed until after I got surgeries, at 28 I started watching your videos by chance at watching batb recommended and you got me to get back into it and just start slow and been having fun ever since , appreciate it man keep it up

I love you dad

Just hit 43 and still skating. Your videos help keep driving me to motivate myself and progress. Thanks Corrigan!

Ok.. the twerk, the 'what the hell', 'dont look' got me good 😂😂

Jason with the mini twerk…”What the hell”?…”Oh Don’t look”! Bro he is hilarious

6:03 had me rolling, dear god

Stay happy Dan you deserve it!

Dan! Here is another comment you’ve seen a million times. Your videos got me back into skating! I’m 44 and just had my first session in 8 years! I always was a pressure flip guy so its perfect timing for me! I lost kick flips but P-flips variations have always been super easy for me! Thanks Dan; for helping me get back on it!! You can bet your ass I’ll be trying slappy crooks thanks to you!

I looove how as a skater you can tell which clip is gonna be the one where he lands it cus he shows the whole run up 🔥 its always clean every time

For real man. Watching your videos motivated me to get back into it this summer. Was only skating once every couple of months, and it was so discouraging not having any of my old tricks. This summer I've been getting out there as much as possible and it's been amazing. Learned so many tricks, got a bunch of old stuff back, even been filming stuff in the streets.

6:02 is comedy gold

Since you love hearing this comment. Your videos got me back into skating after a decade off. I went to my first skatepark at 36, ollied a 3 stair and boardslid a shin high rail. Its not much for good skaters but felt amazing to start and do things I had never done consistently when I was younger.

I know exactly what you meant about your knee because high popped shuv it's were my jam. At 31 i did 1 down a drop. Caught it but kicked out because my upper body felt off balance a bit. I landed with my left leg locked on accident and ruptured my ACL. I needed my buddies to help me hobble to the side of the park. *My best advice is: if possible always try to commit to landing it. If u have to kick out, it's always better to roll with the impact instead of trying to land on your feet. Even if you land fine on your feet, it's a quick way to burn out your feet from the impact. *It sounds so "simple & obvious" but for some reason it's not intuitive everytime you jump down something, and it's something i wish i could go back and do differently all the time.

Funny enough, this is the video that is gonna get me out there skating again. I just turned 30 and have struggled with back problems, but I finally found good methods to get my back better slightly enough to where I feel like I can do some flat ground and simple transition stuff

Appreciate your videos Dan! 33 years old and just re-started skating last year after following your channel/getting inspired by the way you skate & still are pushing yourself into your mid 30’s! Appreciate you brother ❤ thanks for all you share + the rad people I’ve been introduced to through your page ❤️❤️

When that chick said what the hell lol dude hahhaaaaaa....i love Jason

HY Dan, you already know I’m one of those comments. Stopped skating 10 years ago. Folded my ankle, tore multiple ligaments and no insurance. Just an air-cast & a cane. Got back into it 2 years ago thanks to you and other channels. Just turned 39 and really got into skating again over the last 2 months with my brother. You’ve inspired me to try new tricks and I’ve learned 10 recently! Boardslides, Slappy 50-50’s front & backside, Blunt Stall 2 Nose grab 2 Disaster, even things as simple as Drop-ins that I literally never did all my previous years of skating from 13-26. Big thanks for all your content that inspires so many to skate and learn new fun tricks. _SHRED4LIFE_

Dan I’ve always thought that as you get older, the best way to get “better” at skating is to improve style and pop on the your tricks. You have a lot of knarly tricks on lock. I’m just so into style though. That’s how I want to challenge myself once I’m back at a high level. Thanks for the videos my guy. Always love watching you and the homies skate.

I usually watch your videos and i'll see/hear one thing in that video and it makes me want to go out and try it out. Either it's something i was struggling with or never thought of. Seeing and hearing the different thought process is very helpful and I've definitely been getting better quicker because of it.

Much love and respect to you and your channel Dan Corrigan.

Seeing other people's progress is always a huge motivator. Really hope you keep this "series" of videos going

I will relate a true story. I was at a skatepark the other day. And there was two kids there, both wearing smooth brown slacks. So I said, “nice pants, you must watch Dan Corrigan”. And they said, ”yeah, love that guy”.

I really appreciate the fact that even a Pro skater has the same mental battles even after becoming a legend. Keepin' it real #RESPECT

Cant believe you and Jason just casually did those gnarly manual trick. Insane lol. Victors ghetto bird was nuts, nice pop shove I know that aint easy. I couldn't do anything besides ollie that, and only if I had to😂😂😂

Well, you got me back into skating at 33! I wouldn’t even say it’s a comeback considering I quit at age 13. But it’s been two months and I’ve already far surpassed where I left off. Your videos are relatable for me because of your attitude towards skating, and the fact that you do mention that are you trying to get better. Something inside of Me has always told me that I can’t essentially learn to skate (skate well) in my mid 30s but you made me believe in myself!

Dan is the best. I truly look forward to watching his videos everyday 🤙

As an older skater (in his 40s) coming across your channel has been awesome and really inspiring. I don't think I'll ever be doing huge gaps and rails and stuff, but if I could get some flip tricks down and some grinds at the skate park, I'd be super stoked. Hope to always push my limits too and not get stagnant, but right now I need to learn how to just get comfy on my board first before really getting into the weeds of tricks (though I definitely practice some ollies and such for a good workout)

Also Dan - As an older skater - don't be afraid to wrap your knee pre skate.. when I broke my ankle last year I was all warmed up but not wrapped -

Since I started watching your videos, I've been challenging myself to try or learn something new every second session, thanks for the motivation dude

Jason twerking and those girls crying "what the hell?" off screen is literally one of the funniest things I've seen all week.

Jason is genuinely funny. The more Dan skates, the more aroused he gets. It's hilarious the way he improvises

This is the beginning for something big dan, i cant wait to see you get back into it.

TBH Dan, I was in a stale spot skating for like 4 years after coming back from an injury. I just didnt know how to push myself again, and then watching your videos over the past year helped me understand that learning tricks is funny and easy. You've already inspired me, so whatever you do do (haha doodoo) just keep doing it.

Random girls "What the hell" Jason park "don't look" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

The nose manny 360 flip was nuts, thought you were gonna save that for the powell part. Nice work Dan

I can tell your new grill boosted your confidence, happy for you man

The joyous noises Jason makes are exactly like ElTorro Ryan when he gets air time on a roller coaster.

Hey Dan! I don't know if you'll see this; but as someone who got into skating a bit older and I'm kind of fighting the age as best I know how; I have actually started wearing compression gear under my jeans or whatever especially if I plan on jumping down obstacles or learning new tricks. I don't have the science for it but my knees just don't hurt nearly as much when I do tricks off of curbs or kickers as they do otherwise. I think it stops shit from moving around as much? Watching you confidently do shuv's down the three; but say your knees hurt is the exact thing that made me think to comment. Especially if it's getting colder I'd say give it a try for a month or so if you're going to try jumping down stuff for a while. Either way good vid ✌

Nice work. Congrats on the new place.

Just watched this you tube video. I was so inspired that I landed a beauty pop shuvit in the underground parking lot here.

"You're tight alright." I plead guilty: I smiled.

Hell ya Dan!! It’s one thing to just do some shuvits on flat ground… But to them down some stairs like that, is not so easy! It’s just an awkward trick in general.

I know it’s weird but I learned pop shuvit before I could Ollie. I learned to shuvit without the pop keeping your front foot centered on the board years later. Most recently I would do anything I could to avoid the Ollie so skating bowls and bonking off coping was my jam. Now nerve disease has stolen skating from me.

“Oh you’re tight alright” 🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅

Dude that nose trey down the blocks was so freaking good . 10:26

“WOAH DON’T LOOK” 🖐🏽

Dude the nose manual nollie tre on that crazy thing was wild! VERY sick!

I cheered so loud when you caught that shove-it!

girl: "what the hell?" Jason: "Don´t look!" 😂

The nose manual Nollie tre out was so perfect.

Im doong a marathon of you videos and fingerboarding because i want to skate so effin bad but im still healing from my broken collarbone

Please keep posting these prgressions, I know its going to be draining but I'm in a similar position. Nowhere near as talented as you, but if I don't try pushing myself over the next few years I will never be able to skate the way I want to in the future. This is so motivating to see! thankyou for the motivation!

Man.. victor is super cool what a homie

Loving the progression content. 36 year old getting back into it and trying to deliberately improve. Getting hyped watching this channel! Quick question: Do shock pad actually help lessen the impact on these types of landings? Have you considered using any for long term "maintenance"?

You and Jason park are awesome love you videos Dan, good job guys

Lmao i love Jason's "oohs" and "ahhs" and "ohhs" 😂

I hope that everyone has a great and memorable day today. 💯❤️🍀♾️💜

I keep having to comment 😂 I think you should learn pop shuvit back tail. You have the pop. Just catch it and turn it into a back tail. You got it Dan. Don’t think of it as a big spin.

That nose manny nollie tre out was crazy. Dan got hella board control and balance.

6:04 HAHAHAH

I am digging the moustache's energy

Dan, sick mustache 🛹

my man got the joker laugh 😂

That nose manual 360 kickflip out was legit

Jason’s a damn goofball

Strange enough decided i was going to run pop shuvs some more myself this weekend. But my motivation was cause I've always had a decent good one but never did it much because it never was "respected" as a legit trick in the era i came up. "Didn't flip it cause you suck" type vibes lol. But now seems like its came back around and ive been seeing them more so thought why not.

6:01 Jason Park in a nutshell

I also wanted to ask if you have ever skated the eS’ Accel slims? They are a great shoe. I only skate in eS shoes. It seems like you’re not a cup sole guy, but the accel slims have great board control and are really comfortable.

Always love your shit Dan!

You laughing is such a gift to witness

Believe in yourselves. ♾️💜

"What the hell?"😂

I'm 36 also, still having fun skating. Keeps me regular. No jk no troll🫠🤙. Yeah I should skate a lil harder also, just got to feel the flow🎉 Also yes plz nose Manny 3 flip down that, sick!

Thank you skate king

nice stash , i was thinking bout growing one like that an just let it grow sodeways like cat wiskers.

Was Tom Asta there? I know he's in town for the nine club but I thought I saw him in the background.

That nose manny nollie tre was perfect

The mustache is dope.

Dan, 22:32 After landing a trick like that, do you not go back to see if you can keep it going? Is there too much randomness involved? Thanks.

I want Jason to narrate my entire life!! :)

you murdered that nose manny nollie tre…got damn!

What's the story on all the rings? I notice a handful of skaters just have a bunch of rings on their fingers. I could see a wedding ring and that's it

Love your videos !

I would love to see Dan try a pop shuvit body varial(to regs or switch) on a quarter pipe

"Im in a line MOM, GET OUT OF MY ROOM"

Skating in a new place

old man dan cardigan drip peak fashion
