Gotta agree, you have an easy style when explaining things which is very helpful, combined with demo's and physics, which was never easy for me but you make it understandable. I'm 51 and started skating Dec 2019 and I only get to skate 1 week in 3 so it is really slow going but I'm happy(ish) with my progress so far. I look forward to watching more of your videos 🤙🇦🇺

Ah thank you 🙏

Nose Pivots were my 1st trick! Back then i rly focused on lifting my back wheels up, swinging them around, and keeping balance for a split second. I think i was over complicating it, but i didn't have longevity of actually riding my board. Now (having 22.5 years of riding my board on multiple surfaces), i usually will go for a revert if i have the speed, and a nose pivot is if i wna give like 10% more effort lol. I think directional moves like this are the foundation of sk8n, and i recommend everyone learn them in all directions at different speeds. It makes your tricks easier to ride out of, cuz u'll have more familiarity of weight distribution across your board. I've always been a big & tall guy, and having size 15s on eearly 2000s popsicles meant ALL my footspace mattered, and learning to lean, pivot, & slide have been fundamental. Nothing feels better than sliding.

Well, great again ! (Discovered your channel yesterday, and went through all the vids that match with what I'm currently learning or willing to learn soon. So far, every tutorial was perfect ! It's also great to take lessons from someone who recently went through the same difficulties I encounter : I feel you understand better what points to stress on. )

Hey, that's awesome! 💪 Yes..that pressure point is really where it's at..I do a lot of footwork from freestyle skating, and it was just something I started to notice. My go to warm up, monsterwalks, are like two consecutive reverts. So, I just started to realize over time and while analyzing my videos that it was much easier to do with my toes in that pressure point. And then when I really sat down to figure it out, it made a lot of sense friction-wise. 😃

Thank you! 🙏 I haven't tried a lot of power slides, but I would imagine some similar physics are at play. You want both your trucks to be sliding across the ground, so reverting into a power slide and leaning heavily back towards your heels would release pressure from the other two wheels in front of you at this point. I think it is similar! :D

Thanks for the great tutorials Sarah. Quick question, do you think there's danger of the wheels siezing up if I try a revert in a tiled sidewalk? The "cracks" between each tile aren't that big but maybe the wheels could get caught during the sliding motion. Anyhow, I think I'll just have to try it out, I'll be wearing protection just in case 😂

@SarahParkMatott

10 ай бұрын

Yes, I would put some pads and a helmet on while trying it out. They could certainly get caught, but it will depend on the wheels and technique. Probably the lighter you slide the wheels and the faster you do it, the less likely they'll get caught. But a slow and hard push down with the front foot might get them to stick more

ah, if I wanted to learn how to revert off of a curb, I would probably work on reverting into a small manual--so a little more like a pivot to baby manual. And then, you could also try going slow and landing them to nose stall on the curb. So, roll to the curb slowly, pivot and drop into a nose stall...that's probably how I would start!

what kind of wheels and board do you have? You can revert anything (popsicle, longboard, surfskate, cruiser). However, having large soft wheels on concrete will definitely make this harder when you're starting out due to the extra friction and drag. And if you're skating something like a shaped cruiser, it can be hard to revert of the nose early on. It might be easier off the tail.

@@FedeArgentina If it was me, I would probably start training both--pushing with the other leg and experimenting with tricks with the opposite leg. In the beginning everything is really tough. But one might start to feel a little more intuitive over the next few months. I would imagine changing your riding stance to be easier though if you wanted to just choose and stick with it. I know after months of pushing switch (non-dominant foot) it got pretty comfortable for me. It did take some strengthening up of my balance foot though. I've also heard of some skaters who got injured early on and learned all their tricks switch (non dominant again) and decided to stick with it. Pretty much changed their base trick stance out of necessity. Both are possible! I wish I had some better direction to point you in though. Personally, I'd change my pushing foot and put in a little extra work there.

If that has a name...
