Coping will actually make it easier to get some height without having to ollie because of that little pop you get from rolling over the bump. Follow these steps and you'll get it!
@@MarktheLandlockedSurfer definitely will do! I will practice lifting the front truck before fly out then look for some coping to pop off! As always rad content my man!
@@danielmakana I am very hopeful but making these videos is hard. I am not going to dictate what videos Mark should make. Mark should be having fun and make whatever he likes. I would be super grateful if he does a review. If Mark doesn't have the time, I will understand.
@@danielmakana Hey Guys, I am enjoying the smoothstar (Manta Ray) but I want to give it as much time as I did the YOW before finalizing my conclusion, and then it is a lot of work to put the video and narration together. Stay tuned!
There’s no bowl near where I live. We do have a skate park filled with obstacles for tricks. Unfortunately it’s always crowded with kids and teenagers 😢 I have only been in it a few times when police chase out those under-aged drinking teenagers and I had it all to myself. Only a few times. Maybe I should call the cops myself 😂😂
@@MarktheLandlockedSurfer ok i would know if you normally use a standard deck with a surfsk8 trucks like cx o similar. so i've tried to use 9 inch deck with cx but is not stable and i'm came back to my carver super surfer 32'' with his setup i don't know if it's my impression or something about ibrid setup what you think...?.. bye thanks..
I don't have a favourite, but I do prefer something at least 80a. The old Carver 81a Concaves (I really don't like the ecothane ones), the 80a 66mm YOW Cinetics, and the stock 84a Smoothstar ones I found offer that good combination of both grip and slide (when you want it). I am too cheap to shell out upwards of $100 for the fancier wheels that some others are using though! Keeping my eyes out for good deals on used ones.
Really good video (me after revisiting 😉). After having tried all the different boards and owning more than a year ago..... Which one is your go to for the park? Still the sector 9 c5?
I do find that deck a bit too small now that I`ve got used to bigger and wider boards. It is the only one I have landed a treflip on, so it definitely has some advantages. I love my YOW Snappers, Curfboard Wave Se, and custom setup with Powell Peralta Nitro Hot Rod deck and CX trucks in the skatepark these days.
Wheels really depend on your needs. I haven't found the one set that I think: "I need these on all of my boards". Let me know what are you looking for and riding usage and maybe I can help.
So sick! Looking forward to the rest of the series
Awesome, been working on flying out of a small concrete bowl with no coping, that's the key tho... I can roll/jump out. Coping is another level.

Thank U Mark !!!
I was excited to see a SmoothStar. It must be Mantra.
Are you highly anticipating a smoothstar review as well?

@@pokeypickle3 I love that! I too am grateful for the time that Mark takes to create such high quality and well thought out content.

Thanks Mark! Missed this video but now can see some helpful tips. Can’t wait to try

you're great Mark! thanks for continuously helping my surfskate skills grow (:
Water down and Niagara bowls - is that what I saw
Good eye!
One of the best skate tutorial available online. 😘
Hi Mark can you describe your setup?
Pretty sure I use at least 5 different boards in this video! Was there one in particular you were interested in?

Yes this serie is a great idea!
Great tutorial Mark!
Do you have wheels you recommend for surfskating in a bowl? ie. Grippy enough to really pump yet still slide?
I don't have a favourite, but I do prefer something at least 80a.

so pro .
It s fun because I m actually working this ! Been able to land a few but with very little air on it
Thx again Mark for your videos
Hope this helps get them higher and more consistent!

@@MarktheLandlockedSurfer nice. I just made a custom with a winkowski deck, c5 trucks and fat free orangatang wheels. And still love my smoothstar
Mark I was hoping of easy cruising weekend and you are making me to change that plan and go to park 😉
Weekends are for shredding! Cruise after work to de-stress.
@@MarktheLandlockedSurfer let’s hope I can negotiate that with my better halve but I’m not sure how I can go to park, off road expo and rugby game 🤔
Awesome🤤 ♀I
Thanks!
Thanks! Hope to let you know how it goes 🤞
I know you were trying them, hope this helps!
@@MarktheLandlockedSurfer I’ve been taking it easy with the coping after taking a tumble. Need to get back at it.
what wheels do you recommend? whuch ones are you using? I love how the orangatang love handles feel and seismic defcon hot spot

@@MarktheLandlockedSurfer I am looking for a great bowl riding transition wheel for my carver.
