First video I see that explains properly how to use the bowl... Looking for something like this for over a year now. As you said. If you see someone better, steal the trick. Thanks and keep up the good skateboarding!
Love this. I’m a middle-aged surfer learning to skate transition and this is pure inspiration. All I want is to be able to flow around a bowl/pool like that. Looks like bliss. As a surfer, the body mechanics come naturally to me, but it’s so much more difficult than it looks knowing how to navigate the bowl. Anyway, thanks for the video and the inspiration. 🙏👍🏼
Thanks! I grew up mostly flatwall, banks and street skating.. after i turned like 40 I tried riding a bowl or two and had NO lines, was like, ~jeez am I even a skater?? sometimes we need some coaching.
Great vid. Started learning how to bowl ride this week after skating for 2 months. I'm a half decent mountain biker, and used to pump tracks etc, but that video was a lot of help learking to skate bowls. Cheers man.
Im 41 and still skating. I never had the opportunity to skate bowl until i was 28. I can ride it but im so cautious. I am ok on wooden tranistions and indoor parks but every single bad slam i have had in the last 10 years or so has been in the big concrete bowl. It fucking hurts to fall in the bowl. I should probably buy some knee pads... 😝
thanks so much i just started skating the big bowl at my local park and this tutorial helped a lot because I kept loosing speed after just a few carves
Cmon Rick I’m Jorel (the guy who said he would subscribe to you today and my form is really noisy and you keep telling them to shut up but they don’t listen cuz they idiots) also ur really good skateboarder guy so yea good stuff
I'm trying to learn to pump while actually on the wall (like at 05:47 and 05:58) any tips, Rick? I find it strange to psyche up for the 'next' pump when I've just gotten up there. Half the time I just drop off the wall. Pumping feels different on the wall (gravity etc)
Without seeing, it sounds like you are trying too go too far along or too high for the speed that you are carrying. You should should hit maximum speed when the board is parallel to the coping. Then as you turn to create the next line, the centrifugal force will push you onto the board.
Good video but to say only indys will do? Disagree. Ace trucks are just as good or better than indys in transition or bowls. The fact that you like indys is your own personal preference.
@rickbailey5320 You literally said "and the others you can't skate quite the same" That is a false statement. According to you that may be true but in general that is 100% false. I've seen skaters completely rip transition on a variety of trucks so you can't say they're "not quite the same" You would of been better off saying its YOUR OPINION that indys are better, which they're are not but at least your video would of made more sense.

I will def take your advice with my next skate
HI MR BAILEY, IM IN ONE OF YOUR CLASSES!
Great talk through. Additionally thanks for the comments and DMs on my videos to offer help I. The bowl. Definitely add your tips to the kitbag.

No problem mate, I made a sequel too, for more complex bowls. Just check my channel 👍🏻
This was really useful!
Mr Bailey I never knew you skated ur the best teacher ever

@@itzjustjojo9805 what’s hadgson?
@@shad0welite871 a school, my friend goes there and sent me this
Nice video. Thank you
Step 1: have a pool. Step 2: sepuku due to lack of pool
Great vid dude, just started skating my local bowl in Worcester, having great fun but it's not easy. This vid has helped.
Where is this bowl?
Measham, Leicestershire. Standard Maverick quality park.
Cmon Rick I’m Jorel (the guy who said he would subscribe to you today and my form is really noisy and you keep telling them to shut up but they don’t listen cuz they idiots) also ur really good skateboarder guy so yea good stuff
Yes mr Bailey
Rad looking bowl. You are ripping🤙 #acetrucks though.
Keith Allred 😂 I knew someone would say it 😂 ok Indy stage 3 copies will let you turn properly too😜
ok thats all i have to do. i have been doing it all wrong. just like when they told me to be a better golfer you have to hit the ball well.
No, not like golf at all really. When you miss hit a golf ball, it doesn’t make you pay in blood 🤷♂️

@@rickbailey5320 thanks. is it at that last point - as I turn - that I pump as such? this is the part that evades me.
So i started skating again and broken back and neck later im relearning. There is a new park by me. Pool is smaller and deeper but thx for the tips
Good luck mate, hope you get to where you want to be👍🏻
are you riding with rails or bare?
godless skate co. I use rails because I like massive slides and doing airs, they are much faster and stable with rails.
Ace trucks turn way better than Indy.
They are Indy’s, copy of a stage 3
Ello sir. :D
Well done, I'm horrible at transition. All my channel is street stuff, check it out!

Thanks dude, that was literally stated in the video, but at least you are halfway in knowing that 👍🏻
