A must know trick in having a real good time on a board for sure. I'm so glad you created this tutorial for the surf skate crowds! This is the foundation that set's all skateboards free from limitations.I thought it was awesome you ollie four different set up. Your video are so motivating Mark!

Thanks Mark! Specially for ollie in all of those surfskates and show the difference. I was really wondering if anyone had ever ollie on Waterborne adapters.

Thank u Mark. Incredible helpful video

You got it! This one will take a lot of repetitive practice but it opens so many more opportunities. Even if only for utilitarian purposes it is great to not have to get off the board to go up and down sidewalk curbs or other obstacles.

Another great video! Thanks! I actually just received my skate trainers so I can start working on this too!!!

Yeah, I might not have explained it that well in the video but the way I think of it is that your front foot isn't just sliding diagonally forward in a 45 degree line, it is almost creating a wave shaped curl the way a wave barrels almost backwards and upwards at first relative to the momentum of the wave as a whole before lurching forward and back down.

Thanks indeed. I'll be trying this once my house move is complete and I can get my surfskate out of storage

Thank you for the time you spent doing this tutorial. I guess you could have just said "you can do it with classic surfskate setups meaning non street dedicated ones" and ended your tutorial there but it is really a nice thing for us to actually see how it is going with these different setups !!! Very helpful tips on foot positioning as well !! Keep going on with your channel, you deserve more followers ;) Cheers !

I enjoy your vids. You mention setting up a standard deck with C5 trucks for street tricks. What size and hardness wheels do you use? I still want to have some of the stability of softer wider wheels for bowl riding but hard enough to make Ollie's and other tricks easier to learn. I have a carver firefly with C7 trucks now for straight carving.

I'm using Bones Rough Riders All-Terrain Formula - They are 80a but smaller size - They wouldn't be ideal for pumping long distance but great for ollies, releasing from grinds without hangups, and they do provide enough grip and release to slide. I use that board set up for about half the tricks in "Unconventional" if you want to see them in action.

Wow !!! That's so awesome ! Thanks for sharing bro !!

This one is a Darkroom deck with Carver Mini-CX trucks and Bones rough riders wheels. I have another really good set up that is easier to replicate made of a Powell Peralta Nitro Hot Rod deck, Carver CX trucks, and Powell Peralta 90a Rat Bones wheels. It is a great hybrid board for doing skate tricks on a SurfSkate.

Question: Considering how high surf skates sit, would it help to add a tail bone or skid plate under the kick so it hits the ground earlier? Great vid, I really want to learn this. Thanks

@MarktheLandlockedSurfer

An interesting theory. I couldn't find anything with a quick search. I would think that it would dampen your pop on a regular board, but given that some surfskates are so high that it is difficult to even make contact, a dampened pop might be better than nothing. Anyone else try this?

Kool man..not many trying to ollie surfskates at the moment...I would have liked to see how well a smoothstar manta ray ollies for you.

Hi Craig, that might make it more susceptible to wheel bite if your trucks are loose. If you’ve been riding it without that happening so far you should be fine, and it will make ollies a bit easier.

Nice! I have been wondering this for ages. My smoothstar is extremely loose in the front so landing it kind of gives the same effect as the waterborne. I have asked something about the C5 trucks before (sorry 🙈) but one last time. Do they really still give you that surfskate feel or is it a very big step back from the CX (kind) or the C7? Thnx heaps for the videos. I was thoroughly impressed by the 1 year video.

@MarktheLandlockedSurfer

3 жыл бұрын

I think your very first surfskate experience shapes your expectations. For me the C5 was my first and it felt like the loosest craziest truck I ever felt at the time. But now that I have used C7 and Smoothstar and Meraki, going back to the C5 will make it feel tight and less surfy. So if your starting point is a smoothstar, the C5 will feel restrictive, but, it performs so well for skatepark use and loosening the kingpin and adding a higher riser and it can feel almost like CX. It wouldn’t be my choice for cruising and carving the sidewalks, but in a bowl it is magic.

@MarktheLandlockedSurfer

2 жыл бұрын

“Concave” is about the side edges (rail) mainly, and for ollies that won’t affect it at all. But having a tail with some lift will make it a lot easier to Ollie, so a kick tail is the main thing you’ll need. You could see the struggles I had with the Oxelo in this video. Learning early grabs and bonelesses is an alternative if you have a board without a kicktail.

Practice somewhere safe to start, and don't be shy to throw on pads and helmet. One way to practice the motions with less risk is to put your board on a foam gym mat to prevent it from rolling. Put a plank of wood or something else hard at the place where your tail hits the ground so you don't dampen the pop. Practicing like this in the beginning could help you slowly build up the confidence before you try it on hard ground and then rolling. Good luck!
