thanks for this tutorial I really appreciate you breaking everything so I could comprehend it easier my parents have an empty pool and I wanna convert it to a bowl tried riding it a little but bodied hard.
@@eddisk8s Epic!! Sounds like a fun project, hope you have a speedy recovery.
@@ZackDowdy thanks man I wish you luck on your future endeavors I subbed so I'll be around for your future videos keep up the great content dude
Mr ballen?
growing up pre-youtube nobody talked about getting your head around any tricks. People just skated. Great work in this video. We're living in a golden age.
Super helpful man! 40 year old street skater gradually morphing into a bowl trog 😜
great video. although the Pendulum metaphor would be the other way around. your skateboard is the pendulum your head is the rotation axis
Solid point! I'm glad you caught that ;)
Honestly there is one of the best explanation of how to really get better at transition! Thanks Zach for sharing the knowledge
T
true!
I needed this yesterday. Funny how connected the content is to what I'm trying lately.
Great video!!! Some much info, I´ll have to see it many times. Thanks for sharing all of your knowledge!
There was so much good information in this one video it could’ve been a whole series. Keep up the great work! I’m looking forward to your future content.
Hey Zack! Thanks for the high quality videos. I’ve been enjoying your diy and all your other videos. 🙌🏼
Good flow and fun riding!!
You are the best dude! I really appreciate your effort, it helps a lot!
Good info. Thanks for all the advice and tips
Love your videos bro. Appreciate your knowledge share!
def need more of these
Love your videos!
I loved it, I hope we get more like this.
So good!
Brilliant video with tons of useful info for someone trying to understand bowls
Good job Zack Nice and lengthy tutorial Kudos!!
warmups are great! (also for your shoulders)) but yes stretching can be bad for your muscle-fibers if you are doing heavy-dynamic-movement like skating afterwards, super great after the session though, like you said :) just wanted to chip in, love your content! thank you for taking the time :D!
Amazing introduction- THX!
Love this video. Bowl skating is my favourite flavour 😋 Looking forward to the next one already.
Personally I find Roll-Ins terrifying. And Rock-to-Fakie. Usually delighted if I can ride over the tiles. Best sound in the world.
hitting the tiles is the best feeling. Just got there yesterday.
thank you. i’ve been trying to learn how to skate bowls for the longest and hadn’t been able to understand it before now
Thanks Zack! lots of knowledge that we needed and the sections are labelled too. Looking forward to using these.
In future can you do another explanation about B/s disasters.
Hope you had a good thanks giving.
Yes will do! I love disasters so that's a great idea.
Thanks Zach ☝️
This is what I have been looking for! Thanks
Thanks bro this really helps
Zach love you dog fr :) Your a big inspiration to me and ur killing it
thank you for this video, i love you
Love you back!
Thank you for talking about what to do with your hands.
thank you
Masterclass q&a would be dope. Great video got some things to think about next time I hit a bowl. I actually never thought about roll in angle but that makes sense sometimes I'll hit a translation straight and almost land on flat. And as far as one on one tricks bs smiths always mess me up I went 4 years without doing them much less skating but not I feel like I have to pop an ollie out of them which is fun but I gotta try to push it out like ya safe. Great video keep killing it man.
Thank you!! Q&A video coming.
🔥🔥🔥
I ate It like 100 times at the park 2 days ago.. first time I ever got to skate a bowl and I went till I freaking collapsed. Most addicting thing ever!!!
A good analogy I've found is skating bowls like you play Mario Kart. In Mario Kart you got the arrows on the ground that give you a speed boost. You can also drift the turns to get a speed boost. So the fastest lines go between drifting and hitting the speed boosts. Skating bowls is the same. Pumping the pockets and hitting hips and waterfalls are the speed boosts in a bowl. Connecting lines between them all to maintain speed is how you skate bowls.
Zack - how about a video on learning how to use hips within the bowl? My local is Riverside in NYC where you had an insane BS smith over the hip. That was incredible but it feels way too intimidating.
I was always too scared to do fs roll in been doing bs for years. I will try it tmr
Tks for the tutos.Where I live much more scooters than skaters...
Great work! Pity it's rain & snow here :(
I'm super beginner, but I still watch these all the way through for inspiration ☺️...one day!
I appreciate that Jackson!
The point that I'm getting at...
The drinking game.
Good video very helpful
I would like to see a video about skating switch/fakie in a bowl or not, I'm just horrible, and I can't get confidence to even train that
I just discovered your channel, Zack. As a mid thirties skater I highly appreciate your videos and how you angle your topics. I was wondering if you could do a video about tail stalls. I can rock to fakie and do some other more advanced tricks, but I cannot for the love of god bring myself to stay on the coping with my tail locked in place after coming up fakie. My error is so deeply melted in to my skating habits now and it's driving me insane! Much love from Norway :D
Thank you for the support! Tail stalls can be hard, I think aiming & speed are the crucial parts. Having enough speed to get yourself back up on top of the board like dropping in, but not going into fakie rock.
Maybe try tail stalls in the middle of the transition first. This helped me to get the body movement / weight shifting.
@@David-jj9qo Thanks, David! I have tailtapped a million times under coping. I think I am just scared of the coping and kind of freak out when I see my tail approaching so I suddenly don't see the coping where the tail is overlapping it, and don't know if the wheels will hit the coping (!?). It's kind of ridiculous at this point. I cam capable of tail tapping perfectly over the coping but I would like to be able to stand on the back foot completely and like, tie my shoe lace :)
@@incredibing I see. It seems related to learning how to shift weight, but I don't know how to get to that point either :/
Thinking about switching to bowls coz my knees can't handle street any more
Last time I tried front side kick turn higher than I my comfortable reach, IDk how or why my body fell straight down, like gravity just pulled me down.
Hi mate I have a cruiser with 60mm soft wheels - can I learn riding the bowl on it?
What bushings are you using?
Zack,
Does the tightness of your wheel nut make a difference when power sliding?
Probably a little, I normally have a tad bit of wiggle room for the wheel

Great video Zack! I'm kind of starting out skating bowl, am confident carving around at good speed, can BS slash- and stand up 50/50 grind for a few inches. I´ve been wanting to learn FS slash grinds for a while, can FS carve and do FS kick turns, but I can´t overcome the fear to actually go for the coping. Any help? :)
Working on a Five-O video! But I think its key to just keep kick-turning and watch where your wheels are, also you can put tape on the transition to sorta use as a "fake" coping marker.
@@ZackDowdy Thank you for the tips! Looking forward to your 5-0 video. Cheers!
loved this video as a 67 year old female ripper. (That still skates pools.) As with ALL your videos! Only one bit of constructive criticism: It is a bit San Diego-Centric to say, "Skate other parks." I live in Oregon but not everyone has access to multiple bowls in their area. DIY till DEATH! Keep it comin. MASH!
Hey I’ve been searching everywhere for a tutorial on how to pop out of a bowl and catch your board and just land on your feet after a sesh - like I see everyone doing but I have no idea how to do it. What is this called and how do you do it?? It looks so slick compared to me just running up the side of the bowl and heaving my self out. Help!!!
Oh and love your vids. Transition is the best. 🤙
Start stepping your back foot off as you get up the transition and as your front truck hits the coping take a step up at of the transition and grab your nose, it was sonting that just came natural to me these last few weeks and it’s really fun and easy
@@gabe438 You just made my year, thank you. So excited to try it!
My park sucks theres no intermediate stuff a 4 foot pool with a 5 foot end with super steep corners its mostly straight edges i've got to dropping in but the center flatground is like 3 foot i cant setup for anything
More of a straight halfpipe with a taller end on one side but the corners are probably too steep to skate the transition is basically at the bottom so most of the wall is verical
Idk about y'all, but ever since I broke my elbow on a rock to fakie I am not too proud to wear pads when skating bowls.
What skatepark is that?
lindo lake skatepark
Yo, honest question, werent you quitting skateboarding like 2 weeks ago?
Yes!! Just getting back into the grove now, luckily I had some videos already filmed before pausing to heal.
@@ZackDowdy aight man, good to hear that, ur DIY videos gave me motivation - too bad i dont have the time jeje are you coming down to mexico any time soon?
The roll-in seems so far away for me even though I'm quite fine with dropping in. I guess I need to do it a bunch on some steep banks
That helps! Also just doing it on small transition, maybe finding somewhere that has different heights so you can build up confidence as the transition gets higher.
@@ZackDowdy unfortunately here in Kenya, we only have one skatepark and it doesn't offer many options like that but I'm trying to change that by building more.
I would love to see a tutotial on some ride on grinds on transition like ride on 5-0 into the bowl or a ridon lipslide
Good idea!! Should do something like that soon.
Scooter kids just trying to drop in and some guy has the AUDACITY to shoot a video in the middle of their LINE
I am Vietnamese people l I said who are you I don't understand this four or five fingers up let's have a drink of wine
Ok
You should never ever stretch before exercise. Great way to tear a muscle.
Always warm up lightly, do the thing and stretch AFTERWARDS!
I like a lot of your videos but bruh.... didn't you just make an I quit video?! And then weeks later you do this.. Im not sure of the timeline here with the clips to production to the final upload but cmon dude please dont say "im quitting " to garner attention then not actually quit. Just my 2 cents. Again I really like all your videos but that just doesn't come across as authentic
Yes! I did. I mention this in my recent video, luckily I had some videos filmed before taking the break.
