Love everything about this video. Content, style, asthestc & length. Keep em comin'. Bowl skating rocks!

[@kevinclark968]

The krooked grind way of explaining how to stay in the bowl for 5-0s is such a good tip. Thanks!

[@ZackDowdy]

Like a backwards pinch!

[@kevinclark968]

@@ZackDowdy it worked! I thought this trick would be out of my skill level forever but, it feels so stable now! Even on the 2 foot of transition I practiced it on haha. I am stoked! Someday will work it up to bigger spots

[@ZackDowdy]

If you'd like to see any specific transition trick tutorial - let me know below!

[@jayveethreefive5214]

Getting smiths to come in on steep transition and pool coping please, I tend to hang up on them
I can stand up 5-0 and front fifty in bowls, but the smiths go to disaster

[@dowdyster1]

What you said about the water fall is spot on. Whenever I go straight down the water fall my feet slip. When I carve the gravity forces my feet to the board

[@chrisb9377]

Tip for rolling in to go parallel and not straight was really nice

[@JeremyDuncan1]

Describing the front side standup weight distro and how the bowl pushes you around is excellent !
Great tips.

[@hughwilla4744]

Thanks. Always appreciate your insight

[@carlosroubert8646]

Excellent period of instruction!

[@wdoering01]

Impressive bowl skating Zack, I know it is even more impressive when seen in real life.

[@mutatedgenome]

Solid tips. Thanks!

[@afewthebrand]

[@1173536]

Very good sir, learned a lot

[@sk8fm448]

This video was super helpful. 👍

[@fuckmyego]

As someone who rarely has access to bowls.... i guess i was trying to skate it like a mini ramp... oops. Thanks for explaining how to think about it

[@greenthirteen5356]

Great video thanks

[@FaustTry]

Good stuff Zack, more big bowl videos

[@skater_scott]

Sick style, as usual!

[@demetriusantuna3870]

The flat is lava is such a great tip.

[@user-eo5lz7nn1n]

Ton of advice i need!!

[@JonnyDIY]

Thabks Zack! Sick park. My new local in Nipomo has an awesome bowl but its all steep with vert and deep is like 10ft so lil harder to learn on. Guess I need to check out some other locals with mellower transition to learn 💕👍

[@shadow_soul_hd]

Hey man I love your videos me and my friend watch all of videos you inspired me to start skating ❤

[@ZackDowdy]

That makes me stoked!

[@PanicMan-ht5nd]

Really good advice

[@ryanrowe1975]

Great tips

[@RasKitchen]

Love your insights Zack! Got some progress this year, first stand up 5050 in the deep end...frontside standup coming next skate season in Canada...big up🙌

[@ZackDowdy]

Love to hear it brotha!!

[@patricktheriault4123]

Had to stop the vid to give a thanks for your first tip, thanks!

[@michaelw2108]

Good tips I like bowls and mini bowl. I need help on my grinds and airs bs fs

[@Sepi_Nelson]

More bowls vids zack!❤

[@MrRlav]

Great video! Need tips on how to get over the hanging up mental block. I have mostly skated street but would love to get into transition. Hanging up on rock fakies and other tricks scares me.

[@MrGough22]

Hi nice vid is there any advantages to riding softer bushings up front

[@lolojopp]

Thanks Zack! What kind of skates would you recommend for bowls? I have a penny skate and was thinking about getting a longboard. But would recommend a regular skate?

[@orygun_kyle77]

are you riding 58's? with or without riser?

[@ZackDowdy]

56mm no riser

[@Bricatao]

u are so fashonable
