Steve dude ,I'm fully on the edge of my chair just getting stoked watching your progression, your quirky antics are just a bonus,your probably an astronaut or a sasquatch enthusiast in your regular beat.
The pivot turn at 7:57 where you hear the wheel squeak is your best one so far. When you hold the frontside 5-0 but you aren't stalling, you'll find the rear wheel is going to skid as the truck is locked in. It takes some time to get comfortable but doing what you are doing is all you gotta do. Great progress.
Yeah, i just gave it a rewatch at 1/4 speed for the purposes of science. You could have ended up anywhere! 😂 Also… i gotta tell yer… A weird coincidence happened… last night I ordered an 8” powell mini logo to try some freestyle. My other decks 9.65 i think. My Mom asks me today “have you got a skateboard… we took your nephew round the park on his scooter and he saw the skate park”. I said yeah.. but the wheels are wrong. So I realised this was Skate Destiny (TM) 😉 and straight away I ordered the nanos and some bones reds. So now i have two set ups.
Great video as always Steve! Your progress is unreal and your love of skateboarding is infectious. It's scary doing anything on a spine like that but you smashed it
5:40 ish Graffiti from Another World....Steve, I'm gonna try dropping in again today with several different boards. I'll video & post it. I can't stand the peer pressure 😆
that wet pavement is scary. That's how I broke my shoulder. Good move in changing to 55 wheels . The speed and board control helping you link tricks on your run
Yeah unless I’m in a big giant bowl the 60mm aren’t as necessary. Plus they’re just so huge it’s almost too much. Honestly I think 55-56mm is my favorite size.
Dude!!! It’s been a minute since I’ve seen your episodes! I missed your dry sense of humor! And I have to be honest I haven’t been practicing on the board in a long time because of fear and plus I hurt my ankle at work…so I don’t know, we’ll see what I’m going to do with the board and all.
Dude thanks for touching base. I haven’t been out as much the last week with the humidity. But a cool down comes Wednesday so that’ll be great. What’s going on with the ankle?
Another great sesh and edit. Loved the roll and drop off the block at 5.40! Unless I’m mistaken, are you speaking directly just to me on your vids?? 🤣🤘🏻
I just put the same dragons and bone reds on my board yesterday. I'm also learning to skate at 41 YO. I guess, I learned how to ollie yesterday. But I need to check the video record.
Man, awesome job on that last combination, it looked great! Really impressed with that jump off the hubba, that was pretty freaking cool. I thought you were going to go for a rock to fakie pump over that spine, you got to get that on the list. That would be over the top cool! Still took some nerves for the rock to fakies on it, not much landing zone on top of that thing! Keep it going!!
@@Steves_SkateXplosion That looked like a great place to do those combinations. I used to be able to tail stall when I skated with my son in my 50's, but I'm not back there yet. I would love to try that spine on the inlines, that one didn't look too bad.
I don’t love the 60mm wheels because they’re so dang big. I mean, they work great in big Bowls for sure but that’s more like I’m surf skating. But the wider board is just incredible for stability when I’m doing new things. So much better. 👍
I checked out Willard in Indy and the Zionsville park and wondered if I might see you. Have you been to Willard? The bowl is so much better than Zionsville! Keep shredding!
Yeah I get to Willard from time to time. Problem for me is the bowl feels so quick and tight especially after skating Zionsville so much and I can’t make decisions fast enough.
@@Steves_SkateXplosion I feel you there, specifically 2 of the pockets almost threw me off the board a few times. Good all-around park, though! But not a great area.
@@Steves_SkateXplosion pretty new, I got a board last september, but I've only put like a few months time into skating if I added it all up. I've gotten pretty comfortable at riding around though.
@@Steves_SkateXplosion It has but I think I'm less motivated being in the city, at least until I get more comfortable. but I look forward to it and have been getting in the habit of forcing my self (a lot of hills where i am) Need to get more comfortable carving
i cant believe you are leaving without rolling out of a frontside grind after just bailing on that nice one you got. i even said out loud while i was watching"yeah" when you did it. but you didnt do it again lol what a grind tease
Is this by the melodrome, majors skatepark in indy? I used to skate there before all that graffiti if so. Im 46 as of the 30th of july. Id come skate somwtime with you.
@@Hoosierdaddyjones812 yeah I tend to go alone because I gotta focus on my vids. But we should meet up sometime. I need to get to Greenwood. I hear that’s super good. Hunger park built it.
@StevesSkateXplosion last time I was in greenwood, all they had was fabricated ramps with metal by the school park. Be nice to check that one. If you get a weekend day or morn to go I'm down.
@@Steves_SkateXplosion throw in a couple a "boneless" and maybe a "no-comply" into a grab? You're going to have your flow down in no time, if you're able to avoid injury 🤕? 👍
If you ever end up at Major Taylors skatepark again you may end up seeing Casper, another skateboarder who’s got a YT channel @dayswithcasper He’s pretty great on and off the coping so if you see him maybe ask for some tips
Awesome work. I'm 50 and just getting back into it after 30 years. Super scared of getting hurt
🤘💪 glad to have you back on board homie...
OMG so awesome you’re back! Best thing ever dude! 👊
Steve dude ,I'm fully on the edge of my chair just getting stoked watching your progression, your quirky antics are just a bonus,your probably an astronaut or a sasquatch enthusiast in your regular beat.
Dude so glad you like my silly videos! 👊😆
Nice to see you doing rock to fakie and tail stall again 🔥
If you do more videos like this you'll progress super fast

Thanks bro.
Amazing Steve great to see those lines really coming together 🔥🤙🏻
Dude you need to get that full line! That would be sick! 😊
Next session probably! 👊
Such a good entrance to the video
Thanks! I try to make it different each time for variety sake. 😀
😂 as funny as ever! Good bit of stringing together there and i have also learnt that the splits is not our friend. Thanks Steve
I hate it when the board gets in the way of my run out. Scary as crap that it’s going to send me somewhere I don’t want to go. 😆
Yeah, i just gave it a rewatch at 1/4 speed for the purposes of science. You could have ended up anywhere! 😂
Also… i gotta tell yer…

Dude! You look so comfortable on those rock to fakies. Time for rock-n-rolls! Great progress!
Oh man I keep forgetting about rock and roll. That’s a great place for those! 👊
Your fear management is good, I cant see any. I'm still working on transition fear in general. Nice work. 🙌🏼👏🏼🛹
Dude I gotta see you skate more transition. I love seeing that progress. 👊
Love seeing your progress, good stuff!!
Love the videos, keep them coming!! You help inspire me to 'cope' with the coping myself... see what I did there, cope 😂
Bro all we need is reps and the coping will become our best buddy!
Great video as always Steve! Your progress is unreal and your love of skateboarding is infectious. It's scary doing anything on a spine like that but you smashed it
Bro that’s super nice of you to say. 👊😀
“Little bit of progress” … it’s so addictive !but you just want more progress all the time
That was a sweet drop off thing👌
The Guy From Indiana back with another one. I’ve been working up to an axle stall drop in. Pretty scary!
Can you find a small ramp to practice on? Doesn’t even have to have transition if you can just practice the pivot and drop in. 👍
@@Steves_SkateXplosion You’re right. There’s a bank I can practice on first!
So awesome dude! You made me gasp like a little girl when you launched off that ledge. 😂
OMG I’m so worried that my videos are eventually going to give you a heart attack. 😮
@@Steves_SkateXplosion 😆
Wouldn't want to go too dark, this channel is definitely in danger of being too dark ha good stuff
Right? I’m going to definitely have to lighten it up after this latest video. 😆
Coping with coping.
5:40 ish Graffiti from Another World....Steve, I'm gonna try dropping in again today with several different boards. I'll video & post it. I can't stand the peer pressure 😆
Dude bro you can totally do it big time!! Have someone spot you, worse case. 👊😀
@@Steves_SkateXplosion Tonight, its gonna Happen !! Great to hear from U
anime spray art at the beginning very apropos, I believe you would've been in junior high when it came out. Lum from Urusei Yatsura if I'm correct...
Yes! Building lines is where it's at.
Bro I love lines!! 😆👊

@@Steves_SkateXplosion Everytime I watch your videos I get the urge to buy a new deck. 😅 I have to stop myself
Just ordered some harder bushings to replace my standard independents
Dude every time I make a video it makes me wanna buy another deck. Matter of fact I’ve got another one coming tomorrow! OMG I’m insane!
Great work again. Glad the "one more time" jinx didn't get ya.
Dude it was starting to sprinkle so I was forced to leave! 😆
Dude!!! It’s been a minute since I’ve seen your episodes! I missed your dry sense of humor! And I have to be honest I haven’t been practicing on the board in a long time because of fear and plus I hurt my ankle at work…so I don’t know, we’ll see what I’m going to do with the board and all.

I’m heading back to see about locking in the tail stall and rock n roll because that would then be a 4 trick string! 👊

Nice roll off the hubba!
It’s crazy how fast it feels from my perspective, but when I watch the video later, it doesn’t look that risky at all
Are you still loving the wide board and big wheels?
I don’t love the 60mm wheels because they’re so dang big. I mean, they work great in big Bowls for sure but that’s more like I’m surf skating. But the wider board is just incredible for stability when I’m doing new things. So much better. 👍
Just a thought. That spine might be messing with you when you go for tail stalls. Looking great. Keep it going on the frontside work. It’s worth it.
I checked out Willard in Indy and the Zionsville park and wondered if I might see you. Have you been to Willard? The bowl is so much better than Zionsville! Keep shredding!

Oh forgot to ask Steve, what was wrong with the Bronson bearings??
Oh nothing but my skater bro from Colorado has been pushing reds on me forever. 😆
Loving it, I have a hard time leading with my opposite foot. That park looks awesome, love the graffiti.
Have you been skating very long or is it a new thing for you?
@@Steves_SkateXplosion pretty new, I got a board last september, but I've only put like a few months time into skating if I added it all up. I've gotten pretty comfortable at riding around though.
Has it hooked you? Do you feel like you can’t stop skating yet?

Oh man that’s a good point. I don’t remember what happened. Might’ve started sprinkling?
🤘💪
Try to get on bolth coping when you rock to fake on the spine. Then once you get that think about maybe a transfer to the other side. Just a idea.
Oh heck yes I’ll be doing that!!
Is this by the melodrome, majors skatepark in indy? I used to skate there before all that graffiti if so. Im 46 as of the 30th of july. Id come skate somwtime with you.
You’re exactly right. Just off 38th by Marion college.
@StevesSkateXplosion we should skate sometime, not many older guys go at the same time lol
@StevesSkateXplosion I live in bloomington by lake Monroe, we have a couple of good parks also

Do you sing at all? Have to admit was pleasently surprised by your speaking voice which is usually a good sign
Thanks bro but my voice is only good at speaking and not good at singing. Sadly.
You kill one coping out of 10 for insubordination?
Perfect spine for you. Try to launch and grab over it!? 🥳
OMG good idea!
@@Steves_SkateXplosion throw in a couple a "boneless" and maybe a "no-comply" into a grab? You're going to have your flow down in no time, if you're able to avoid injury 🤕? 👍
