Thanks for commenting and watching. I do choose low traffic times to minimize traveling public risk and this was late morning while everyone was mostly at work-eventhough it may appear otherwise. As for myself, I’m in a protected 12 foot (no traffic allowed) zone, all gear, and did attempt to do a few Coleman slides, but not at that speed. Getting use to the newer sticky pavement and fairly newer cannibals was too hard for me so went to another residential street, switched wheels and continued practicing. Techniques aside, I have done push up slides at that speed and have built up enough reaction time to do something, but maybe not what some may do. Confidence can only occur in environments that are as real as the situation allows-I’m not out there to create hazards to people/drivers, besmirch the downhill community or get hurt so I can’t provide for my family. I’m enjoying the learning experiences my off days from indoor/outdoor climbing, and so far - it’s been wonderful.

Thanks. Looks really rad, but thankfully my buddy is helping me out to install it because I don’t have a clue. Will be installing probably later in the month.

@@Lightsinthenightsky333 thanks and modified it before first use.

@@nickamarit Thank you and I definitely agree. Just barely getting started in understanding wheel capabilities in addition to all the nuances of skill learning to come & refine them all.

@@M0s1nNagant thank you and makes sense. Haven’t figured out a natural way to set up carve, but will try it & share how it goes. 🤘

Thank you. Simplicity of just practice & repetition. Starting to make sense now.

Thanks. Will work on that next session. Unseen in the video, but as I was coming down the hill, I faced my back foot more forward and knee slightly inward-felt awkward at first, but getting use to it. Thanks for suggestion.

Thank you. Appreciate the refinement technique on front heel and will practice that next session. Anything to improve weight balance is so helpful. Happy New Year!

Cool. I will try them flipped, too-never tried.

​@cantskate5535 i dont have any trucks narrower than 160mm, and i ride a landyachtz evo36 and a pantheon sacrifice. So i flip them for a narrower footprint. Works really well for 9.5-9in boards. Always feels better that way for me. Good job with your progression man 💪

@ thanks and good to know. As I’ve gotten more experience on the Prism Owen Fox, I do have a few other boards that I want to try that are narrower. I have trucks that go as narrow 130 mm - both Seismic and Bear, but don’t have balance skill enough to really control them; it’s like a tight rope and I’m barely getting starting on a “plank”. 😆

They're 74a cannibals, so pretty close

Cannibals. But do feel like if I warm up enough-maybe. Will get some Mags now to confirm. Thanks.

@@RideFlyLongboards thank you. Yes, learning huge amounts of improper weight & balance.

@@nickamarit thanks and yes, will be experimenting to see what feels best. Before I did this, I adjusted Owen Fox more forward and didn’t feel too bad.

I Definitely agree with the first dudes comment!! And also they don't look very pleasing to the eye.

I did actually change it before I rode it. And it’s been working great. Thanks.

@ thanks. I did adjust it before I used it. Not familiar with looks of torque blocks, so maybe my new Scythe will be better-just got that in.

@@cantskate5535 Scythe one looks great.

@@florianleonhardt620 oh yeah! 🤘👊

All good, thanks. Felt good to break a quick sweat and keep moving.

Thanks, Nick. Experimenting with various wheels and have those type of wheels. Will be trying those soon. I was stoked to slide reasonably well on the Mach 1s, which was a change from only using them for straight speed.

@@cantskate5535 You can try the Fatty Hawgs (or any other offset wheel) flipped. It's gonna be a lot more crisp for sliding.

@ thank you and I’ll try that. 🤘

@@bobbyventure720 what do you recommend-what would you like to see?

@@Lightsinthenightsky333 thank you. Makes sense. Still getting use to body awareness in this position, but enjoying it a lot more for a good change up.

@@florianleonhardt620 Thank you and it’s been interesting that I had not worn my back protector since I started doing toe sides? 🤔Oddly my first mistake of pressing away and leaning back on this final attempt to finish session. So, yes, I will start wearing it now-thanks. Wow-that’s 🥶. Happy new year as well. 🤘

Thank you. Fun learning a little each session.

@@JohnnyD5dub0 thank you and just putting in the work. Plenty more time to put in, but liking the grind. Always open to pointers-thank you.

Yes. I was indecisive of whether to continue toe slides or try first Coleman. That split decision caused me to deweight my front foot, balance was off, board went straight and back foot slipped off. At this point, I think I was a little tired, too as I had done well over 200+ “sprints” on all 5 boards.

@cantskate5535 Woah, that's a lot of reps. No wonder you're tired!

Thanks. “A party of one” so got to self motivate and have fun. 😆🤙

@@nickamarit thank you. Fun just trying things. Now to try it on dry pavement hopefully in next week.

Thank you. Practicing fails (saves), too. 😆🤘

Oh yeah-all about the thane stoke and glad you were surely just as excited. Yes, Sector 9 butterballs. Those were my first legit ones last October on Coleman shutdown with rail. Love these wheels. Sentimental. 🤘

@ Sweet!! Remember getting my first pair of butterballs too haha, best memories ever.. Can’t wait to see ur progress 🙌🎅

Thanks and skill confidence little by little. Woohoo.

Thank you. Enjoying the near effortless energy in the wet concrete.

Looking in direction your going is the game changer huh.

Thank you. Now trying to keep it consistent. 🤘

Thank you. Enjoying the slippery conditions that require minimum effort. A great learning tool.

Yes-1st was a mess in more ways one-haha. Thank you for the great pointers on foot position, knees and line-barely 3rd session on toe sides. Makes sense on all of it. Still trying to figure it all out out, but your pointers are great-🤙

Yes, 1st bail was painful, more mentally, but all good. 2nd bail was combo of mental freezing and I backed off-shifted too much weight in the back-hence board kicked out. Thank you. Learning new skills is fun. 😆🤘

@@AdventuresInSkateboarding thank you. When it’s fun-it’s not work. 🤘

@cantskate5535 still putting in sets reps and time. 🙏

@@Jummijammi1995 thank you. Yes, trying to work up to steer around my corner that i ate it hard earlier this year. 😆

Thank you. Butterballs are a special memory since I first did Coleman shutdown with rail for first time last year. I have Liam Morgan’s too (drift series?) and they thane so well too. I just got the “smokes”. You’ll surely get thane on them and good fun in your session. 🤙

@@howardb.6205 Hi, sorry missed this comment, but what do you mean? Still struggle with when YT comments show up.

@howardb.6205 Y tho

Thank you. First time I really understand “plant your foot” - something @adrienpaynel suggested (very causally and friendly) to me my first ever “expert session” with San Diego crew back in May this year.

Thank you. Now more stoked than ever to continue training.

Thank you. Posting helmet cam now.

Thank you. So stoked. 🤩🤘

Thank you, Nick. All the hours of no visible result are starting to show a little with plenty more to go. Appreciate all the support. 🙇🏻‍♂️🤘

3:10 was gold!

@ thank you. Kept simply it fun and just go go go.

Thank you and this is awesome. 🤘I’ll definitely practice more front foot pressure/leaning forward. 🤙

Thank you and much appreciated. Yes, definitely will feel better when locked in.

@@cantskate5535oh shit, I thought I commented this on your toeside predrift vid haha.. either way, great stuff

@@BrockRimington no worries and appreciate any where you comment. I soak it all in and try to practice it all. 🙏🤘

Thank you. This was my first real toe side session, but definitely will practice looking in the intended direction-thanks.

Thank you and yes, will work up to no rail. Later in hopes to eventual stand up toe slide.

​@@cantskate5535vei reuși cu siguranță, numai să fii atent și pune pe tine toate gărzile care le ai la dispoziție, e destul de periculos. Eu tocmai lucrez la acest capitol, sunt numai vânătăi și cucuie))

Yes, thanks. Practiced my first dry session literally yesterday and finalizing video now. Going up…

Wow-that would of been wicked, but scary. Slowed down in the lower portion because of major cracks, splits and cracked glass.

@cantskate5535 Understandable.. I flew off the other day

@ oh geez. Hope you’re ok?

Thank you.

Thank you and I think the rain forced me to take it slow-er which definitely is not my norm. Haha. It was an entire session on smashing/pressing my front foot down, which was a major break through for me-instead of just leaning. Good thing I knew how to do quality push ups slides-now- because I needed to save myself on a few times after these.

Thanks and agree on the knee hanging out. Trying to understand facing front, shin forward, front foot pressure while keeping centerline balance and maneuver/steer with back foot placement to support movement direction. Still awkward of back foot placement consistency. I do practice stand ups around corner, but maybe haven’t posted enough. This session was just getting use to my planned permanent board set up-for while-with exception of wheel changes.
