    I think it'd be cool to see a video on skate posture/form. How weight distribution, foot placement, upper body effects tricks in specific ways. Like a trick tip on how to fix every trick on your own. I think you'd be able to explain that well. Hopefully, that makes sense.

    Thank you very much. I struggle with my weight distribution and have to remember to lean back, in my head I try to force my whole body to go back. I also try to pop the tail as hard as I can and it seems to help. The main issue is still the right timing of all the moves. Your slowmotions help a lot. Beautifull tuto! Much repect!

  • @islandbear987
    @islandbear987 3 роки тому +1

    another tip is to roll from pavement to grass, attempting the heelflip (or other tricks) at the grass line so you land in the grass with no rollout issues. (Just keep in mind not to get too much momentum going so you don’t fly forward once on the grass.)

      I wanted to focus on skating alone since the skating aspect of my old channel was the only thing that constantly grew. I also wanted to stop vlogging everything and sharing my personal life. I think privacy is a virtue in today’s world where we’re already encouraged to share everything with everyone. It was just a move that made sense to me.

    @jeremylane3139 4 роки тому +4

    It's worth mentioning that there is a second completely different technique for heelflips than the one demonstrated here whereby you flick with your pinky toe and not your heel. Some people refer to that technique as the Neen Williams heelflip. He has a berrics video where he explains it. I find that technique allows for a lot more control of the flip and fewer rocket heelflips.

  • @RedBoard86
    @RedBoard86 Місяць тому

    I think the commitment part is mostly fear. Afraid of the board shooting out and falling on your butt or face or other injury. But can become habit
    I can only do stationary pop shoves, but I’m taking less “warm up” time to land them
    So could also be more confidence than commitment. The more I’ve landed them, the more confidence I have in myself in landing them when “warming up”. I need to get over that initial mental block which will come with more practice and landing them

  • @FreudianQuip
    @FreudianQuip 4 роки тому +1

    I've been skating for 10 years and this spring when the snow melted I couldn't heelflip anymore. I literally had no idea what was going wrong I've been skating long enough that I can usually self diagnose any issues, adjusting weight distribution, set-up, truck tightness, changing where/how I flick off and literally nothing made sense. Sometimes I could land them and other times I'd be totally hopeless. TODAY I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT! WHEN LEANING BACK YOU MUST STICK YOUR REAR END OUT FURTHER TO GET MORE WEIGHT BEHIND THE BOARD! THIS ALSO HELPS YOU SEE THE BOARD ROTATE UNDER YOU! before I was literally bending straight down to pop and trying to lean my shoulders back which would put my head behind my knees so I could hardly see the board rotate as well and making you land with your weight way to far forward and difficult to land.
