    Dude, I've been skating bowls for over 20 years, and would NEVER have been able to give this tutorial. Makes total sense, I've just never heard anyone verbalize any of this before. Thank you!!!

      As one of those young kids... I don't believe that's what most of us are thinking... More like "old man learning how to skate is sick, but I wish he was done with this run so I can get back in"... same thing I'd be thinking when anybody else is in the bowl and I'm waiting for my turn lol.

      I'm 34 and starting too. I go skate with my kid and honestly only other Dads and young kids are nice and friendly to us. The last time I had a 11 year old showing me how to roll off ledges and his dad showed me what I was doing wrong. The teenagers and 20 somethings are always just doing whatever they want no matter who is skating anywhere. But I don't care I'll go by the bench and practice Ollie's and manuals until they move.

    As someone who has been skating for about 35 years and making skateboarding instructional video for 17 years, you did an excellent job on this. Truly one of the best I've seen. So often, I watch instructional skate videos and the teacher always says something wrong or explains something really poorly. But everything you taught in this was correct and accurate. Excellent work.

    Again thanks for the details man, as I'm sure you know no body is really doing this type of in-depth analysis for skating. You can get books on being a ballerina or how to maximize your baseball skills but almost no real skateboarding literature. This to me is as close as it gets. 👍

    @franciscoramirez9867 Рік тому +2

    I love turning a 5-10min run in a skatepark with a lot of transition into kickturning everywhere/at every turn at unusal/drastic angles at high speeds. I like to bash my front truck in a chopping motion at the peak/right after the kickturn right into which ever direction I'm going_gives me a sense of control/let's some aggression out. Skating/carving transition with no kickturns is preferred by some/viewed as "the correct way" but can get sketchy: when skating super fast/semi loose trucks/constantly changing direction/angles you can get wheelbite if not kickturning

    • @idhatemet00
      @idhatemet00 4 місяці тому +1

      Just use the bushings that come with your trucks or whatever bushings you currently have in your trucks. Nobody, and i mean literally nobody, changes out their bushings for different styles of skating, that would make absolutely no sense at all. If you're new to skating, you shouldn't even have to be experimenting with bushing a vs bushing b. If you're new to skating, i really don't blame you for not knowing better, because people online and on slap forums love to talk about bushings more than they actually skate. In all my years of skating i've only ever used the bushings that came stock in my trucks. When i rode indy's, i used the stock indy bushings, now that i ride thunders, i use the stock thunder bushings.

      @@sergeykooch No problem, I haven't ridden ace and i wouldn't necessarily recommend them to beginners as they're the most "surfy" feeling trucks out rn. Aka they're pretty squirrelly to ride. Some people like that, but for a beginner I'd say try thunders. They are lighter than indys and aces and have good turning, but are also much more stable in my experience. But if your trucks are brand new, no need to get a different brand of trucks, just crank down your ace bushings a little more. Ace also sells some harder durometer bushings, you could try those too. 👍

    @adhidassler 11 місяців тому +1

    a bit unrelated but perhaps someone could answer.. : I'm goofy footed and ive been wanting to skate more transition. I got the basics such as carvin around, keeping speed and some stalls. But the thing is, i find my right thigh is so easily sore to almost cramping after like 15-20 minutes skating transition just carving around. And yes i do stretches before skating. So my question is, is there maybe anything wrong with my carving (like maybe theres some "how to properly bend your leg when carving" or something like that?) or maybe it was just my leg? lol. I was so bummed not to be able to skate transition for a long time and none of my friends have this issue so im really confused. Really want to have fun and learning more transition but i feel like my leg wont let me 😅

    • @Skateiq
      @Skateiq  11 місяців тому +1

      First thing you’re gonna have to do is go to the gym with a good personal trainer and strengthen that heel reference. The second thing is to see if you can change where you get sore while skating, like more on your back leg instead of your front - that’s more of an exercise to build body awareness than aiming for best form. But honestly20 minutes of pumping is a full on work out so basically it will come down to you getting stronger and better cardio to really improve it.
