@PerryEarl10 күн бұрын
It might just be the camera angle, but to me... it looks like in an effort to keep your weight shifted away from your toes, you are not turning your upper body all the way. Your legs are completing the rotation, but your upper body is only making it about 3/4 the way around, and when you are grabbing the nose, that is keeping you from landing smoothly because your legs are making the turn but your board is being delayed by your upper body.
@GrawrD10 күн бұрын
First off, you have an incredible eye because that's exactly what I'm doing haha. Especially on vert, I've had trouble with being too far over my toes so, when I pop, I fly forward. I've been watching the Mitchie Brusco BS Air videos and it seems better to under rotate than over rotate so I've been toying around with that on kickturns to see if it helps at all with airs. I'm trying to figure out the timing for the pop/grab but I haven't got it yet.

I know the feeling, 30 to 45 minutes to get comfortable, 60 minutes till your legs are toast 😂 With the slashers, I find when you are really reaching for them (feet above your body almost) even if the heel wheel goes over the trucks don't touch so you don't get that satisfying sound. Gotta have a bit more pressure on the heels like Mitchie keeps telling us. And yep I can't figure out the powerslides either!
@GrawrD18 күн бұрын
That 15 mins feels great though! Haha. Makes sense about the slash grinds - it was definitely the tries that I was actively going for the coping that I got the sound and I think my mini ramp pivot muscle memory pressed my heel down. It’s addicting though, can’t wait to get back out there!

This ramp is huge! I like seeing your progression, I want to learn this
It’s funny because this is considered “mini” vert because it’s 10’ instead of 13’. Nothing feels “mini” about it haha. It’s like learning to skate again but it’s a blast.
I know the feeling, 30 to 45 minutes to get comfortable, 60 minutes till your legs are toast 😂 With the slashers, I find when you are really reaching for them (feet above your body almost) even if the heel wheel goes over the trucks don't touch so you don't get that satisfying sound. Gotta have a bit more pressure on the heels like Mitchie keeps telling us. And yep I can't figure out the powerslides either!
That 15 mins feels great though! Haha. Makes sense about the slash grinds - it was definitely the tries that I was actively going for the coping that I got the sound and I think my mini ramp pivot muscle memory pressed my heel down. It’s addicting though, can’t wait to get back out there!
Bro blowing a fat cloud in the second clip😭
I saw tht 2 bro 😂
Does the commentary make the raw session footage better or worse?
better!
@@soundspoonAwesome, thanks!!
Kind of hard to believe you couldn't do this already.
I could Ollie a board (barely) I just never had the confidence to pop other tricks higher. Hoping getting my basics locked in will translate to the ramp.
I think we are kinda on the same stage, I am trying to get bs airs again but I am on bs ollies at the moment also after seeing some Mitchie Brusco videos about pumping, etc, I´ll wait for you to land bs air & check if I can progress at the same rythm.
Hopefully I can get back out there this weekend and work on more bs ollies. My pumping is feeling pretty good now but I really need to focus my next session on pulling up my front foot so hopefully that works out haha.
So nostalgic
Legit man. I miss it.
Thanks, dude! What’s keeping you from skating?
Great that you're still progressing. Non skaters will look at this and never comprehend what is going inside one's head.
Thanks! It’s one of those things that you can’t fully comprehend until you stand at the top of the ramp. One of the best feelings to be able to push your mind past its limits.
Amazing how good that first scratch on the coping feels. If you figure out backside airs please post some tips!
You know when I get them I’ll post them here! Was not planning to even sniff the coping so it felt awesome.

You're so lucky to have some great parks near you.
It's a little drive but it's pretty awesome to have some of the world's best parks in driving distance. Maybe we'll all have to schedule a meetup at a park someday?
git it! lookin good out there homie
Thanks, man! Appreciate it. It's a little humbling going back to the basics but I got my eye on the prize.
Awesome, looking forward for more vert action. Good luck with your vert-journey! Skatin in the US sounds so crazy that you can book training with such a legend and than run randomly into another pro in the skate park....
Hahaha I was thinking the same thing! I’ve never met any pros before so it was pretty surreal getting to skate with two within a week. I guess it’s just a sign it was time to start vert…
Bros got wrist gaurds 😂
Left my shoulder pads at home…
Awesome Man!
Feels crazy!
cool!
Thanks!
My knees won't let me do 100 but I try to do 20-30 every time I skate usually 5 times a week . It definitely helps
Yeah, skating ramps so much I definitely put off my Ollie practice. I’ve done 100 3/4 days now and I can see some improvement. Looking forward to a month from now to see how much better I can get…
