Mitchie Brusco Coaching Backside Airs - Tips for learning backside airs

[@squeedum4893]

I don't skateboard but I find these videos to be so interesting, and ultimately satisfying when the proper technique is learned by the student.

[@SKATEiQ]

it's always great to see it come together in these short reels

[@kevskatesNM73]

Skating for almost 40 years now and I am LOVING these vids…I’m more of a backyard bowl guy- but MAN her first couple (adjusted) backside Ollies maybe 8 feet up looked GREAT. Good job BOTH of you! 🎉

[@SKATEiQ]

thanks! Pheobe rips no doubt. she pulled some sick ones later the next day, blasting

[@TJ-dg6uk]

This guys the perfect teacher, me and my buddy were watching his blunt fakie trick tips at the park the other day we both ended up smashing a few, thanks buddy

[@scottwinkler6114]

I am addicted to these videos. I got into skating during the bones brigade initial days and loved Steve Caballero and his style of skating. I wish I had Mitchie back in the day!

[@SKATEiQ]

Thank you!

[@fatramh]

This one rules!! I really needed these tips to bring my backside airs back . I can do backside ollies but haven’t done good backside airs in 20 years!! 🤣🤣 Thank you Michie 🙏🙏

[@SKATEiQ]

hope it helps!

[@CodyKhaoz]

Idk if it helped her but it’s helping me!

[@SKATEiQ]

haha hope it helps everyone aha

[@TheHairyDurdles]

Mitchie is great at teaching 💯👊🏼

[@SKATEiQ]

Thank you!

[@worldofdotgons]

I'm 32 now, started skating at 12 and did it on and off until i was 20. Watching Mitchie's content I feel how much better i could've gotten if I had access to this kind of knowledge from the beginning. with the proper technic things that i felt were very dangerous and challenging seems doable and safe.

[@SKATEiQ]

I agree. Hopefully the next gen as access to better coaching and more knowledge and it keeps them in the sport longer

[@thezetes]

My story! Got into skating a little earlier and quit as a 14 year old after losing a sponsorship opportunity. Since my 18th I skated on and off until I was 22, and now I am skating weekly with my daughter. You'll see her in 9 years on the olympics! ;-)

[@Sunbeam-yf8bw]

There's really something beautiful about transition skating on how it looks effortless when done using the right techniques.

[@kevskatesNM73]

The backside Ollie to melon grab example was SUPER cool

[@davidrobarge8981]

Mitchie is the Boss at teaching 🔥

[@SKATEiQ]

Thanks drobarge!

[@craigevans8912]

Such a good teacher, I could’ve done with these videos in the late 80’s early 90’s… never too late though 😬

[@SKATEiQ]

Nope.. go rip it up !

[@brendonchase9460]

Your patience is awesome 👌 great work mitchie

[@friscotecsk8s119]

Thanks for another banger, Mitchie! BS air is a bucket list trick for me. This has saved me some trial & error.

[@SKATEiQ]

Get it !!!!!!! I wanna see !!!

[@seanmckean934]

This is like a precursor to the backside air walk through video. I’m going to get some height out of this lesson. Love your work Mitchie.

[@lewisbarlot4823]

always amazing teachings and break downs. She has a young Tony Hawk body frame. Great form to excel.

[@SKATEiQ]

thanks , happy you enjoyed it. Alice will be a ripper for sure

[@user-wd5wv5sb3o]

I love watching these videos! 32 years old skating sinces 10. Not particularly good but love it. And these techniques you teach are so interesting!

[@SKATEiQ]

Thank you! That’s great, im happy youre enjoying the content as a long time skater. Means a lot

[@Juliano_DJOL]

same here, Im 37 and in a similar boat, also been teaching my kids lately and was suprised to learn so much myself lol

[@paulseitz672]

As a 60 year old returning to skating after a 25 year absence, I'm finding Mitchie's teaching super helpful. My goal of learning an ollie and then a disaster initially on flat and then moving to the mini rampis definitely getting a boost.

[@xdmon1220]

just what i needed

[@SKATEiQ]

perfect!

[@matt97342]

Really helpful - ecespcially to see the correction of the mistakes so many people do on this

[@lucasl.s.7831]

amazing lesson!

[@SKATEiQ]

Happy yyou liked iT!

[@HalkerVeil]

It's nice to see girls picking up the sport more. Very different from my time.

[@SKATEiQ]

everybody skates!

[@DouglasWright]

Wheels warped from power slides. Love that sound.

[@SKATEiQ]

Hahah literally

[@DouglasWright]

@@SKATEiQ your videos are inspiring! Can't wait to teach my kids soon (0, 3 & 4). Will be using your techniques.

[@aaronbennett4444]

I wish I had bro teaching me when I was her age. This man is a genius.

[@SKATEiQ]

Thank you 🙏🏼 hopefully can help a lot of people in skating!

[@HansPeter-gs4vd]

your videos are so wholesome

[@SKATEiQ]

Thank you!

[@jasonkanokaroke]

Wish I had a skate coach when I was a teen. On my backside airs on vert, I would always hang my one back wheel under coping no matter how hard I tried. I was probably grabbing too early.

[@SKATEiQ]

ah, yeah. a lot of people have a tough time just releasing from the ramp. i hope the next generation has some more help !

[@ignacioarosteguiiturriaga3733]

Hey Mitchie! Firstly congrats on the channel!! 30 YO comeback following you all the way from Spain! I have some quick questions for you if it's okay my asking:
- should I be able to do lip tricks on big ramps before attempting airs?
- better to start off with BS or FS airs? (I personally can ollie FS but struggle BS on small ramps)
- I have a bit of a hip mobility issue, would you say I need to be able to squat before attempting airs to be able to grab the board?
Thanks and great content man! Keep it up!! 🤙

[@flapjack413]

Man, I wish there was a vert ramp around when I was a younger skater in the 90's. Almost 30 years later, still no vert around here. I think the closest vert ramp is a good 3 hours away. Western MA sucks.

[@SKATEiQ]

That’s the problem a lot of people have. I don’t know how to change it

[@Juliano_DJOL]

Dont forget she gotta be feeling a little nervz too, just w new people and sk8in in front of mitchie!

[@SKATEiQ]

Maybe, but it was pretty chill so im not sure

[@Juliano_DJOL]

@@SKATEiQ it seemed pretty chill to me too, not sure if u knew her outside of the lesson or not but u know how it is when u r that age and u just want to impress w your skating and then I'm sure if nothing else she atleast looks up to you and cares what you think about her. She seemed cool and didn't seem like the nerves had much effect on her but u cld hear it in her voice especially at first! I used to never get nerves skating, almost the oppisite lol but then I started playing Disc Golf tournaments when I got older and wld have nerves that I had never felt before! This made things from the past make more sense to me, like oh this is what that person was feeling or why they were not performing like normal haha!
Hey keep up the GREAT work w the lessons, u have always been one of my fav skaters when it comes to Vert/Tranz/Mega.
But TBH I didnt even realize it was u the first few videos I saw of your coaching, I watched on my phone and was like wow this guy is one helluva teacher, I thgt u must be a school teacher that was also a skater lol then I was like wait I know who that is, is that Mitchie...
Not sure what got u into coaching/lessons but I've been teaching my sons to skate lately and we been watching your videos a bunch! I just didnt realize I was gonna learn as much as I have too haha!
I was saying u cld def coach the girls skate team to a gold medal at the next olympics!

[@chrhadden]

i wasnt trying to learn by the end of that, i was just wanting the young skater to get one

[@SpoonyLuvification]

35 with back and ankle pain but these videos make me want to skate 😂

[@mjd4124]

Keep the blanket weight off your feet, go to yoga, and keep shredding.

[@matteoz.6632]

Great job❤🔥🫶🚀

[@sigue04]

Hi. Can somebody tell me where this public vert ramp is? I wish I had something like this near me. I'm in northern California (yeah, I know there are tons of cement parks here, but my cartilage prefers 'Skatelite').

[@lukeharrington904]

hey mitchie im 32 and skating my whole life. my problem is backside ollies/ airs. when i ollie then do the turn my front foot loves to slide almost all the way off leaving me landing with my front heel on the board and my toes completely off, everytime this happens i eat major shit . what am i doing wrong ? do i need to set my foot up into a kickflip position so when my foot slides it will slide into the corect spot for the landing???? im good at airing hips and into banks (park skater) but i dont have a vert ramp near me so im practicing on a 7 foot concrete park. also i dont wear pads much, always felt they were to restricting.

[@Skate_48]

Is a back side air abpve coping still an ollie or does the bonk off the coping act as the ollie popping you out.

[@SKATEiQ]

It can be either, but the basic action is the same. You just dont have to put the tail all the way down to the ground if the ramp is poppy enough. But you can still do either

[@dennisbernhard3117]

"It's definitely easier." -"Then what?" - "Then whatever you're doing."
This made me laugh so hard 😅
It's pretty much skateboarding in a nutshell.
I can't tell you how often I told myself attempting new tricks that it would be so much easier and less painful to just land on the board😂

[@SKATEiQ]

Hahha made me laugh man thanks for the comment

[@SKATEiQ]

Hhahaha thank you that killed me man

[@kendelo251]

I thought learning BS Airs were supposed to be Kickturn-Nosegrab- Tailscrape ?

[@SKATEiQ]

that's definitely one way !

[@JustWhateverSk8]

People bonk and pop them

[@TheScrubDesigns]

This is way more clean and proper

[@kendelo251]

@@TheScrubDesigns Ahh. But that Taliscrape Nosegrab Pull will get you off the transition.

[@user-eo5lz7nn1n]

Really I would just send it and not worry about all the little steps

[@SKATEiQ]

thats on my other channel

[@DefextOfficial]

I could def hear a flat spot, in his wheels. Great tips, though.

[@SKATEiQ]

it's the worst im sorry
