My Struggle: Learning to Axle Stall

- My latest struggle learning the axle stall on a new quarter and the truth behind how many attempts and injuries just to get simple skateboard tricks in your mid 30's!!! #beginnerskateboarder #over30beginnerskateboarder #axlestall #skateboarding #learntoskate
Instead of waiting for your back truck to hit coping , try to power slide your back truck into the coping. This way you don’t have to wait as long.
I just learned these last night on a 4ft ramp. It didn't click until I realised you don't _turn_ into it, you kinda hop up into it.
@@jesseissorude thanks for this. I was thinking this is what I've been missing to get them consistently.
Awesome. I call this honest skateboarding.
It is all about the process. Stay Rad Sir and keep putting in that work. 💯
Thanks so much man!!! Been subbed to your channel for a long time now!! I am a big fan!!!
@@fatdadskatesbad appreciate you being on the adventure Sir. This is a great community and definitely a big part of my skateboarding.
Nice dude! I’m just getting back into skating at an older age so this is super motivational. Bonus props for the Social D shirt
Thanks man!! Good luck on your journey!! Been a fun one so far!! 🤙
That's how you stick with it and nail it! Outstanding
Thanks man!!! Yeah was a tough one for me and managed to screw up my back too but felt nice finally getting it!! Cant wait to get back on the board and keep on getting it in bigger quarters!!
This is exactly my struggle right now. Thanks for keeping it real, bro.
I got much better at axle stalls. Now I am torturing myself with kickflips 🤣🤦♂️. Keep the faith man!! If you work for it it will come!!
You were close for so many, try to lean back into the quarter a little when you turn your shoulders. Love watching these progression videos. Keep it up. I'm 48 and skate every day at the moment.
Thanks will do!! Awesome that your back skating!!! 🤘
Nice! I am in the same tunnel currently, approaching the exit. Loved to see your work and the stoke of your friend
Thanks so much man!! Was a tough one for me. Been injured since so going to be a hard one all over again lol. But such is skateboarding!!!
Shots and goats you got me in
Yo that’s stanly awesome I go to that park that added some extension to that quarter u where skating you should go back great job by the way don’t give up I started at 31 on my UA-cam I got progression vids on there been skating a whole year and I could say I’ve done things I never thought I would do keep going
Thanks man appreciate the kind words I shot ya a sub!! Havent been back to stanley in a long time!!
Nice! You get the lock in nicely most times. Proper!
Thanks man!!
learned this yesterday. I‘m scared in quarter tricks so much, good job!!
Thanks!! Glad to hear it!!
Looking awesome dude!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks man!! I am trying lol.
Honestly mate this trick took me a year on and off. It was such a struggle!
Well done mate! 😊
Yeah I still struggle with it!!! Thanks for the kind words!! 🤙
Very inspiring video. 💯
Thanks so much!!
Awesome I will try doing this next week
Good luck!! 🤘
axle stall is deceptively hard, took me a couple months to get comfortable standing up on them -- nice work man
Thanks man!!! Its been a long journey for me and still nowhere near where I want to be. Been off the board for like 3 weeks now cant wait to get back at it and keep going.
I’m 42, fat and on the same journey. Looking fwd to watching more of your cids.
Thanks man!! Welcome back!! 🤙
41, thin, learned these last night so I searched for some vids to find more info.
Yes! good work
Thanks so much man still a struggle for me on bigger quarters!!
Way to go and you have a great hype man to cheer you on. If you haven’t tried it yet you should try and get feebles. You almost there with that trick.
Thank you!!! Yeah feebles are def easier for me now. I still struggle with the axle stall on bigger quarters but feebles come so much easier to me.
Since my last comment I got really good at feeble stalls due to me having hard time getting in the axel position.
As a result this video I super relatable now and I’m gonna try the advice your friend gave you
I am the exact same way. I am amazing at feebles and still suck at axle stalls. I noticed I do much better on axle stalls when the coping is really pronounced but the feeble just feels so much safer but on bigger ramps scarier to drop in from. Anyways thats skating good luck keep up the fight!! 🤙
Nice work!
I'm currently struggling with this one myself. Seems like the same situation you were in. I've been able to tap both trucks on the coping, but actually solidly engaging on top?
Few and far between.
I think bringing it to bigger transition is huge in learning this properly.
And by "bigger" I mean like 4'. 😄
I think it helps to start small and work up. I still suck at axle stalls but can do them regularly on anything 2-4 ft. For some reason feebles are so much easier for me tho. Anyways keep on the battle and thanks for the kind words!! 🤙
Great video, you where so close, better than I could ever do.
Thanks so much!!!
im learning now also with my son. im 36. cool top find this channel!
Thanks man!! I am 36 as well been skating for a little over a year. Skating is the best!!!
@@fatdadskatesbad I'm loving it also. Skating for about the same. I need to get me some knee pads to start working on dropping in. But I'm getting over hills and down pretty well, and got my ollie down, and finally consistently landing 1-2ft drops. Def will be following ur progress. Thx for sharing!!
This came up on my feed. Great job mate. I'm 49 and comfortable on the stalls and basics, etc but not easy on the mind and body when trying to progress!
Thanks so much!!! Its been like 6 months since I made this video and I am still struggling with axle stalls on bigger quarter pipes but def heading in the right direction. As frustrating as skateboarding can be theres no better feeling then finally nailing a new trick after work on it for so long!!
@@fatdadskatesbad Totally - incredibly satisfying when you nail it!
Super filmik!
Dzieki!!
It's funny,I was sitting by myself talking out loud,saying....this time...this time...lol
Glad you finally did it.
When I was skating it was the same for me and probably every skater ever,but it would take me a hundred times to learn something new and when I did it,I could do it every time and think why in the hell did it take so long and now it's second nature....lol
Well bro,keep bringing back memories for me.
Stay Blessed bro.
Thanks man!!! Yeah this was one of my tougher ones too learn. I was trying for a long time and I finally got it down. I dont even want to admit how long I worked on getting the axle stall down. It took me MONTHS lol. Thanks for watching!!! You stay blessed too!!
Cheers
Cheers!!
Clicked because I recognized the ramp in the thumbnail lol. I'm working on my axle stalls too.
Nice yeah Stanley Quarter!!
Nice work bud, you got that looking nice and clean too!
That advice about turning into it and letting the board follow your shoulders, pretty much applies to everything in Skateboarding. I need to take my own advice cos I always forget this when trying to do backside 180s 🤣
Its nice to have someone to skate with because they always will notice stuff you cant see yourself!!! Sometimes that little word of advice can change how you think about something that seems so obvious to someone else but you cant see yourself skate lol.
@@fatdadskatesbad sometimes it's as simple as needing to be reminded of something you already knew. But yeah I skate alone a lot of the time so when I have someone to skate with it enhances the experience in every way 👌
@@SkateboardingWithYerDa same here. I skate alone 90% of the time.
Hi, You do it!!! Doesn't matter if one person needs 5 try and another one 500. If you do 501 and the other only 4. You win!!!!!!!!!!!
Honest videos! Real. I appreciate it hundred times more than imposible skate video parts for most humans... You know... Great motivation seeing you! Your friend was super happy when you did it. Good friend! Congratulations.
Thanks so much. Think its been a year and I still struggle with axle stalls but am a tiny bit more consistent lol. Yeah skating with friends is the best way to progress!!! Thanks again!! 🤘
@@fatdadskatesbad Nice!!! Everyday one small step forward. Happy Skating!
@@albertpou2473 thanks you too!!
Bro I'm 49 re-learnin ta skate, ya got da same board as me n I've also bin struggling with the same trick!
Speed n timing is your friend on this one
Yeah was a really tough one for me to put together. I had the drop in but was totally off on everything else. Finally been getting it way more consistent now. So rad your back at it man keep up it!!!
nice
Thanks!!
Stanley!
Yeah your buddy's observation is correct. You want to have decent amount of windup from the arms and really get the shoulders to line up with the coping by the time you put the front truck down on it. To actually stall and stop on the axles, you do need a pretty intimidating amount of speed. I suggest finding a slightly smaller ramp and trying to kinda manual up, letting the heelside wheel pop over the coping, (turning at the last minute helps) and gently letting the front truck down. That control of having the heelside lock in and pivoting from it is what gives you confidence on big ramps, I feel.
All good advice!! Thanks you!! I am constantly working on it and am becoming more comfortable daily. Dont know if I am good enough to manual up a quarter but I am willing to try. I still have to get dailed in on every quarter I skate before I start landing them or feebles but I am sticking to 3-4ft and less for now bigger ramps are fun but I dont dare try and get on top lol.
@@fatdadskatesbad nah it's just a tiny manual right before the front wheels hit the coping up until you lock in, so you should be fine. You just need to make sure the bodyweight centered over the back truck until you lock in and are ready to put the front truck down. There is also another way to do this by bashing up into the coping like a powerslide, but I feel it's hard to prevent going toeside with that.
On a sidenote, doing manuals both on the tail and nose can really help with just skating in general, and especially on transition. I started doing little nose mannys last year and honestly it cut down the times I bail and fall from tricks by a ton. Things like disasters are almost impossible to get down without nose manual, I feel.
Took me a year to really nail them. Just starting to grind 14 months later. Enjoy the grind, literally
Thanks man. I still suck at axle stalls anything over 4ft. And can sort of get them on anything lower. Been a hard one for me.
Build yourself a ramp if you can. Even just a 1-3 foot ramp in your garage will help. I have a 2.5 foot half pipe in my back yard and am going to build a 2 foot 1/4 in my garage to also practice on. Having my own ramp has made a huge difference in my skating. I also have used a few different board set ups to determine what I like. My go to has been my Caballero shaped deck with Indy 149's and Bones 58mm Hawk wheels. But I really love riding my Grosso deck which is slightly wider with 169's and 58mm Spitfire Classics. Switch it up if you can. I never knew it would make such a difference.
I got some small quarters. Def agree!! Still feel like I skate something new I am starting all over again sometimes. I just suck lol.
@@fatdadskatesbad Me too!!
We're the same pretty much well I am 50 been riding 2 years now. I am about 200 lbs. So I get winded a little. My struggle was rock to fakie, I just couldn't do it for like a year. Until I just put a elbow pad on and knee pads so if it didn't work out I could slide out or I simply slammed on my side. Finally got it but you really got to dig deep I ain't no young guy anymore. I think the axle drop was sooo scary to me just fear of not being able to jump off. You'll real get hurt bad that way. Anyway nice to see o g s out there I'll be watching thanks for videos.👍🤙
Yeah its been like 6 months since I madd this video and I am still struggling with this trick on bigger quarters. But good atleast on smaller stuff I can do it with my eyes closed. And super rad your still out there skating at 50 man!!! I am about to turn 37 and want to skate as long as I possibly can because I just love it so much. Only started skating about a year and a half ago!! Keep it up man 🤘
@@fatdadskatesbad ya bro . I mean Alva still rides and he's like 60;👍
What helps me is to stay focused on the process. Visualize and rool up, commit, and stick the landing. Also the first few times I like to over exaggerate the knee bend, sometimes touch the ground with my hands. Just feels right when nobody is looking?
Nice job! Maybe you've got it on lock already and have 115 makes in a row, but if not, I have a few observations that might help
1. Visualize having your head and body leaning at 10 or 11 o'clock over the tranny in your final position.
2. Push/press down on the wall just l below the lip, right before the stall. This will change your pump a little bit.
3. Think of your back heel wheel like it's a hook to grab and hang from the coping with. Put the front truck all the way up, making a sweet cross pinch.
Yes the cross pinch is the next one for me!! I def need to nail that hoping to this year. Thanks for the help I def like all the advice I can get I am still bad at these.
im sorry but did you say you have that ramp in your yard? maybe the house across the street will be up for sale. that last trick new guy did was insane
I'm 43 and learning and i can't get on top of the deck. I can get my trucks onyo the coping but my body still is inside the quarter pipe... Been struggling for a looong time to actually get up there. Still battling...
Honest best way is to start in axle stall position and learn how to drop in. Thats the hardest part. After that then you just have to work on getting up there and it wont be so scary anymore. Hope this helps!! Keep it up!!
@@fatdadskatesbad Yup....I have practiced that. Dropping in from axle stall and feeble stall.
@@kapture520 then next step learn to get on top of the deck of the quarter pipe. Learn how to ride out onto the quarter pipe from inside and then work on getting closer and closer to parallel with the coping and then come closer and closer. It takes time but if you do that you will def get it. Also find a 2ft to learn pn it def helps. Good luck!!
@@fatdadskatesbad Yeah... Getting better at little baby 5050 grind/touches and pivoting back down the ramp. Just gotta keep at it and hopefully I'll eventually get up to standing on the coping!
My problem was the re-entry
I learned how to drop in first from the stall which was terrifying lol. It just took me forever to get into it correctly. Was really hard for me to learn took me months.
Hi. Good work there! I had same struggles. I also have the Andy Anderson Deck, which I think helped a lot to accomplish the stall.
What Kind of wheels are you riding on the Andy? Cheers
Yeah was a tough one for me!!! Its a fun deck I started off with ricta speedring wheels in a 54mm in a 99a on her then threw on a set of spitfire 97a in 56mm conical fulls and now I kind of retired her from my main board to my cruiser set up with some bones atf 56mm 80a wheels which can literally roll over anything. Def super super fun on the soft wheels but super hard to ollie lol. Right now I am back on a madness sam becket impact light shaped impact light board and I absolutely love it.
My issue is I cannot get ontop of the quarter pipe deck! any tips? :)
Learn how to first get on top of the deck of a small quarter without worrying about the coping. Then when you get that learn how to drop in from an axle stall position. My advice is to start on the smallest quarter you can find like 2ft. Good luck I still struggle with this trick sometimes but can usually get it till about 5ft quarters now. Was a super hard one for me so be patient!!
@@fatdadskatesbad Thanks man for the reply, will put that into practice! cheers
how'd u get on with learning rock to fakie? I learnt how to axel stall fast, but had the hugest battle learning to rock to fakie with some nasty slams. Older dude here learning to skate late
I can rock to fakie on smaller stuff with my eyes closed but when the ramps get over 4ft and steep I def cant. For some strange reason I can rock and roll most ramps up to 6ft tall or so but they aint all that pretty. Weird how skateboarding is so random like that. Good luck I still suck at axle stalls and its been a long time since I made this video.
thanks for the reply. I literally tried like 3 times and got axel stalls. And everyone was like rock to fakie is the easiest most basic trick and some dude advised me to "just commit" and I had the most terrifying slam after a hang up which resulted in the longest battle probably in history to finally get one. I am still not fully comfertable with them. I am the same as you with rock N Rolls, I can do them backside quite comfertable, I think its cause it means i roll down facing forward. I really want to get okay with rock to fakie though to open up tricks facing backwards.@@fatdadskatesbad
@@gregenhersu theres a lot of tutorials out there and I can suggest find a smaller ramp to learn on. Hardest part is finding the right timing and I still struggle with getting that nice rocking motion. But if you keep practicing it you will get it!! Watch a bunch of tutorials before you go out it will def help!!
hey bud, what wheels you riding there?
Its been a long time since this video think I was skating ricta speedrings at the time in like a 54mm. Havent skated those wheels in a long time.
please fix the squeeking 😂

@@fatdadskatesbad swietnie Ci idzie nauka, bardzo mi sie podobal Twoj film. Sam teraz sie ucze Axle Stall
@@maksymiliankaczmarek5908 to fajnie!! Powodzenia!!
yooo its stanley quarter
Yep!!!
So easy man, ur goin up on ur heel unbalanced. U needa go up like ur going out of the ramp, practice just exiting the qp and staying on top. Then u get used to the feeling of being up there, balanced, then its all about control, u have the rest all right, ur just not balanced and ur scared. Practice just fly out the top without trying to get in the stall, prob after a few trys ull feel the feeling im talkin bout. I focused too much on locking the heel like this , but just gotta break it down to staying balanced over ur board , not too much on heels, the heel thing will come naturally/ itll b easy to slide into place when ur balanced
Thanks!! 🤙
You are overshooting. Most beginners either overshoot or undershoot. The trick is to find the sweet spot. Also when learning axel stalls most people think you’re supposed to be standing straight up on the platform. Actually you want to be 45° angle from the platform halfway in the pool and halfway out.
Thanks for the heads up
Omg swap those bushings out. They sound terrible . Too tight..
I would suggest just doing alot of Bs reverts on flat ground to get comfortable with rotating Bs . Cus it just looks like that Bs blind spot is you're problem as you keep falling back. Know what I mean . Good luck . Don't over😢think it if it's not working out today then walk away cus tomorrow could be the day. 😅

At least you didn't do some dumb crap like the dude that takes a grinder to new trucks and "notches" the hanger to hold the coping , non-sk8 to say the least..... you are on it.
throw that trash board away first tip
Im riding a madness now but have a andy anderson maple as a cruiser. I actually really liked the board but it was just a tad bit too big and a little awkward. Hard to pop but felt great on transition for me.
@@fatdadskatesbad i was just trolling you a bit, keep skating man
@@WRF4666 will do!!!
Right on my dude! It's really awesome to see folks like you gettin out there and enjoying this great sport that literally saved me from going down a really dark road as a kid. I've recently been saving up to put together another board for myself. I haven't skated in somethin like 20+ years, but now that I'm not as worried about making my body last as long as humanly possible I wanna get back out there. Epilepsy prevents me from even stepping foot in the ocean on a surf board again simply because out there the ocean controls the outcome, period, end of. It's people like you that inspire me to get back out there and reconnect with what gives me pure joy though....with a bit of rewarding pain. If that makes any sense. Thanks for sharing my dude. Keep up the hard work, but always have fun too. 💯🤙✌️🛹
Hey man sorry to hear about your epilepsy but so glad you are getting back out there skating man!!! Go do it have a blast and pad up. Its been amazing to learn how to skate hope you enjoy it too!!! 🤘
@@fatdadskatesbad Thanks man, life always has a curve ball don't it. I researched a bunch of pads, I'm sooooo amazed at how much they've improved over the years. I'm about one check plus a lil chump change away from getting everything I need and want. Can't wait. Stay safe and well out there everyone. 🤙✌️🛹
