I know for dropping in, what helps me is to crouch super low while dropping in. That way if I slip out, it's far more easy to roll it off vs being completely stiff legged. After doing that for a while you can slowly get more comfortable and have to crouch less.
No one's an island guys, let's work together in the comments to brainstorm ideas to help people who are trying to learn new tricks. I'm here to help! Let me know a trick you're having trouble with below:
Drop in from a FS Axle stall position. I always hang up even following all the common recommendations like putting pressure in the heel,etc. So frustrating 😥
@Mikegt 500: Is there any place you can think of (maybe at the skatepark or a parking lot somewhere close by) that has one of those bike racks or maybe even just a pole or something that you can hang onto/hold yourself up with your arms while you're trying a kickflip? Just allowing yourself to ease into the feeling of landing on the board with both feet with the safety net of not having all of your weight landing on it can sometimes get you over the hump.
This is an extremely helpful technique for ollies (mainly because the board doesn't move around too much under you and bang into whatever you're holding onto)! I have yet to find a good setup like that where you can practice kickflips and shuvits and stuff. It'd need to be like one of those setups at the playground where it's just two parallel bars at waist height, but with concrete underneath. I'm going to keep a lookout for something like that. What setup did you find most helpful?
@@NeverStopImprovingSB, why do you think a railing doesn't work for practicing kickflips? I got my pop and click really good holding onto a fence. Still won't commit to landing but I realized my fear is returning my feet to a board while in the air (I was bailing in acid drops of curbs). I started doing bomb drops. Easy way to get the feel of putting your feet on the board while both are in the air. Now I've got a caveman drop in!
I admire your attitude to learning and your ability to seek the positive and negative components of the process! This motivates me to keep skating and continue to improve.
Well it's comments like this that keep me going brother. Thank you! Love seeing your work and dedication to your UA-cam channel btw. To me it's very similar to skateboarding; lots of unknowns and uncertainty, plenty of ups and downs along the way, but there's no question that it's the ones who refuse to give up and focus on incremental improvements that achieve the milestones they set out to achieve.
I do really like this, however the "what braille wont tell you" seems really unnecessary, whether or not you like his tutorials or not, its just in bad taste imo.
Kickflip; I can do the jump and flip board to practice landing, I can flick it good but can't seem to get my feet on it yet board will land on the ground and I will land feet on ground next to it. I can do the old school one though.
I have the same problem. My flips have become very good but I still can't do landing. I feel like its a muscle memory thing of missing the landing when I used to land primo?
@@crmesson22k Landing with one foot then the other can make it harder, sometimes muscle memory can be against you. Don't turn your shoulders fs or bs, keep them straight, your back as well, try different foot placements, everyone has their own way, you just need to find what works best for you and finally, make sure your ollie is your best trick.
1. DIY skate trainers. AKA tennis balls with cuts. These are nice because you can land unbalanced and not slip out, but gives you the feel of doing the trick. And these still roll a bit unlike real skate trainers. 2. Dropping in on a bank with no coping is actually harder than a small quarter with coping. If you can drop in on a bank like he did then a quarter will be easier, because the coping actually helps level out your board. 3. Record yourself doing tricks and watch them to see what you’re doing right or wrong. If you can, record on slow motion to make it easier to review.
Awesome video.Fully padded up skating vert,I ran up the ramp,slid down,up,down etc....then combined the drop in.Tiny bit of "freefall",but a successful drop in on vert was achieved. ...Thank you bro! Side note:dropping in I put my board down on coping and committed straight away..no thinking.
Duude! This brings me back to the first time I dropped in on vert. One of the most satisfying days of my life for sure! I wish I had used the technique you just mentioned (I was still learning HOW to learn things myself) haha But yeah, super congratulations! It's not a small feat and anyone who's skated a vert ramp knows how high and steep it is up there!! Can't believe you just went for it first try though, I DEFINITELY got insane vertigo the first time I looked over the edge and saw how far straight down it was. Major props brother, keep up the good work!
I personally use that technique way more than I'd like to admit haha. If you ever see me at the skatepark just doing my own thing, you'll be like, SHEESH HOW MANY TIMES CAN A PERSON FALL DOWN IN ONE DAY?!
@@NeverStopImprovingSB I'm looking forward to pushing myself harder again. I got in a car wreck and the chiropractor told me not to skate for a while. I'm on the mend now and really looking forward to getting out there and taking a few falls, maybe relearn a trick or two while I'm at it. :)
It may be binary depending on experience and confidence. Recently landed my first heelflip like it was nothing after a long hiatus away from hard skating. In my eyes, all flatground tricks are just slight variations of ollie and shuvs, its just a mind game afterwards, that I admittingly was halted by in the past.
That's a good point! Once your mind fully understands the mechanics of a trick (i.e. you've FELT it), it's the same as riding a bike. The only thing that can block you from that point on is getting inside your own head and temporarily losing that trust that it's going to work.
Great tutorial! I'm a small channel that no one knows about, and I also teach beginners how to skate and progress quickly. I agree 100% that you need to break each trick down and learn the individual components/ progressions in order to help completely understand what each trick takes to learn. I myself and learning a lot as I go, and want to help as many people love skating the way I do! I can tell you feel the same. Keep up the great content and motivation! You're truly helping others and I hope to be able to do the same on the same scale as you one day!
I never realized it until reading this, but you're totally right, it's a good strategy that works really well because you are already feeling the groove 🤙
Progress Skateboarding, I'm feeling this idea. I spent half an hour today rolling along the deck of a bowl, into bs 5050, and doing a kick turn to drop in... and not landing it. Then I skated around the park and up a ramp leading to the back of the bowl, right onto the coping and right into drop in and roll away. Closest I've felt to a professional skater. 🤣
Way to go. This is how Matt Thornton teaches MMA / Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Teaching people how to skate is cool Teaching people how to learn is REALLY cool. Keep helping people, we are watching and learning and practicing. Some of us are 47, I'll let you know when I get my first Olly. And I will - Oh Yes, I will.
Incidentally, who left the thumbs downs? People who want skateboarding to be a "secret" or ...property owners who hate skateboarders? Sometimes I really don't get the "thumbs down" at all. Ignore them - you rock - keep rocking.
I’m new and I can’t even Ollie yet it’s been 3 days, I keep messing up but I usually try to get it more often should I practice the steps to Ollie first??
Bro that’s not how it works though even if you can do a perfect heel flip and catch it every time the second you commit it’s not even remotely the same thing
That's good advice when learning tricks especially trying to land tricks and its safer. Yesterday, trying to learn pop shuvits and landed on the side of my foot which caused me to sprain my foot. I am lucky it didn't break a bone. Imma try to practice landing on the board like that to get the feeling.
Love your videos! I've been trying to kickflip for a few years now. I have it to the point where it'll flip consistantly, most of the time under me, but I cannot keep my front foot up in the air after the flick. It'll touch the ground same time my back foot catches the board
that's probably a commitment thing. have you tried building up to it by doing kickflips while holding on to something (like a handrail) and giving yourself more time in the air? (but don't take me for an expert, my kickflips are like one in four)
I'm still trying to learn how to do a manuel and I keep on scraping my tail. I know speed helps with this trick but I'm having a hard time finding the foot placement and keeping it while rolling.
That trick has a lot to do with muscle development (i.e. the more you train manuals, the better you'll get at them). One of my favorite tips is to ride up a ramp and start your manual when you get to the top; it puts you in the perfect balanced position.
All good but it's hard to focus on what are you saying when the music is so loud and "aggressive", the tune is nice but not for such video imo. Never Stop Improving your videos dude :) keep it up, btw. thanks for tips on pop shuv
This is very helpful advice to me; I'm still trying to fine tune how to fit all of the parts of my videos together perfectly, so I really appreciate this kind of feedback.
"The fall won't hurt that bad" Yeah... that's bull! I fell from a simple pebble in my wheel scenario and my wrist/knee have been messed up for over a month! Almost quit skating 💀
So I want to learn feeble to fakie , 1 rolling fakie in mini ramp 2 competent at rock to fakie 3 competent at feeble stalls 4 be competent at fully decking out to fakie 5 put them all together and nailed Brilliant way of thinking will use this method alot 👏 👍
Another little sticking point people have with feeble to fakie is getting back out of the stall, the part where you kind of have to skid your inside back wheel over the coping so you can roll back down. You might be able to add practicing that in there somehow...might just be as easy as doing like a feeble handplant (both hands down on the coping while you're in the stall) and feeling out that part with your hands already safely on the coping, or maybe you can have a friend stand at the top and you could grab their shoulder for a little extra stability.
I clicked with the Ollie. More then a decade ago when I was 13. I started trying one day, hours at a time, constantly rocketing, and after a few days as soon as I landed my first (low n ugly) Ollie, I just landed basically all of them, even after years of hiatus. Recently started skating again after so many years, nailed one on the second try. So it depends I guess
I really like your approach in teaching. I have been surfskating for 2 years and want to try out the "regular" skateboarding. I am 35 years old and have been thinking that it is too late to try and skate. But I have the feeling that I at least have to try it. It feels much more accessible after seeng you video. So thank you.
I very strongly believe that it is not too late to give it a go! Doesn't matter if you can't jump off of a roof any more or whatever like the youngins, that's only a tiny part of the fun. Plenty to do at our age! (carving bowls and skating mini ramps are two of my favorites) Also, what is surfskating, that sounds cool!
Definitely give it a go. I skated a few years, as a preteen, in the 80s but not much more than cruising. Got back on a board at age 44, last year, and I'm already shreddin (okay, my tricks are still beginner... but they're so much fun). Granted, I am fully armored up at this stage in life but it doesn't make it any less challenging or intimidating (and I've gotten plenty of soft tissue injuries which pads can't protect) but overcoming that is so rewarding.

@@OMNIPHEAST Thanks for the words of inspiration. I have been out in a skate park this week. I did not want to go home at all! Going to buy a board this week :) I was mastering the "drop". It was really intimidating, but I managed a drop hip high. I guess about a meter high.
@@janhedegaard7318, that's awesome. I've had 4 foot drop ins for months and finally tried a 5.5 ft. today. Landed first try because it was only a mental block. Once you have the technique (lean forward, come down fully on the front truck) you can do it from any height. I just learnt to back side 5050 grind on a mini but I'm still intimidated by a slash grind. Keep at it.
Definitely sounds like a super common issue of leaning too far forward (towards the nose) when you are popping the trick, which usually stems from a subconscious fear of committing to sitting back during the landing and accepting the possibility of the board shooting out. My recommendation would be to find a section of concrete right next to some grass (for the board, not for you haha) and ride toward it and either just ollie or do your (pop?) shuvit, but just focus on trying to set the wheels down and then purposefully THROW the board out in front of you (towards the nose), i.e. let it shoot out on you on purpose, so that you can get used to what that feels like, and get your subconscious mind to stop freaking out about it. Then again, it could also be just a bad case of wheelbite, which would be fixed by tightening up the kingpin nut on the front truck!
