1 Month Ollie Progress - and the two changes I made to my form
I spend about 70% of my time skateboarding on just practicing ollies because I want to feel comfortable skating through a city and not have to worry about every curb or obstacle in the way. Over the next month I'm going to continue to try and get them higher, and eventually tweak them out so that I can get over something fire hydrant height. I believe that having a good ollie is the most exponentially rewarding skill when it comes to learning other tricks.

How I plan on "going pro" skating
Переглядів 887День тому
Skateboarding specifically, being a pro has very specific standards. You have to win competitions, and have a company making boards with your name on them. When it comes to other types of skating, you don't have the same opportunities, competitions, or total revenue in the industry. I think that if you have skating brands paying you to skate their products and that earns you enough money to liv...

    My guy, there are dudes who are in the Olympics that aren’t pro. All pro means is you have your name on a board from a legitimate company. Within the skate industry, that’s what it means. You can’t just make up a definition. Sounds like you have a lot to learn about the culture.

You’re not proficient enough and you aren’t what the industry is looking for with respect to personality. Again, not trying to piss on your dreams.

    Personal preference: I think magic slide are more stylish and unique to inline (where parallel is used also in skiing). Technically speaking, you made a great point about how in certain surfaces parallel slide can be tricky, and since you can't test every surface beforehand, and they take a lot of commitment with both feet.. you can easily end up in the floor. So for both looks and stability... MAGIC!

I don't have the confidence yet to slide for longer when Im at around 30kph.. Will keep practising though.

    This series is awesome, and amazing to see that you can do so many kinds of turns, spins, jumps, even axels on urban/slalom inline skates, rather than on specialized off-ice figure skates. And also make it look easy as if on ice. Did you have a strong ice background before inline or is all this really self-learned in 1.5 years? Ive also been using inlines to practice basic figures off-ice so these videos are super inspiring.

      @@PieterSheth-Voss I had no ice background and it was all learned on roller skates + in-line skates, if you combine roller skating it’s closer to 2.5 years of practice, I was working at a sonic drive in 😅. Let me know how your figure skating moves are going on your in-line skates! There are so few people doing them.

      ​@@SolidSkates I started urban inlines 1.5 years ago, mainly to find a substitute for skiing in a winter with no snow, and got addicted to city skating. Then rediscovered pond skating this last winter, and started USFS LTS Basic 1-6 to learn figure and get techniques right. My current obsession has been to get three-turns, brackets, waltz jumps, and MITF on regular inlines as you have, so as to not be dependent on rinks or weather or ice. So to see in this series that that, and more, is possible is exactly what I was searching for.

    Solid it's quite relaxing to watch you training. There is usually a beautiful background and you do your exercises with easiness to speak out your mind to a camera. As a nice format to your videos, I would give you the idea to explain what you're doing/trying to achieve with the skates and all while you also keeps switching the topic with whatever in life you would like to talk about. Hope you liked the idea. Ciao!
