It was a pretty chill vid. It's noticeable that you don't skate pools regularly. I don't either, specifically because it's really difficult to do specific tricks for me. Anywho.. I like the lip angles for grinds and slides but maybe an in-pool angle would be better for lines and certain airs.

[GreatWhiteAfro]

I thought about that, but wasn't sure, all the pool/bowl vids I watched on YouTube were from the deck, so I wasn't sure what angles or if being in the pool filming would look right. I wasn't sure either what tricks were too over the top , I knew the grinds and lip slides were not, but was the 360 and teh 540 too much?

Thanks for the feedback, it's appreciated.

Pool videos are next to impossible to look right
it's ironic that I skate pools so much more than anything else but in this game hardly ever. At least the scale of that pool isn't completely out of wack. I'd just work on getting some of your stuff cleaner for video pleasure purposes, if not just have fun.

Thanks for the feedback SG, and I know I had a couple clips that could been cleaner. I will work on that for the next one.

Its dead easy and pretty difficult to go wrong.Swim/skating whenever you like on your own schedule at your own perfect pace. No traveling, no crowded pools,no heavy chlorine.Looking forward your next work.Cool video.

Are you saying pool skating in this game is dead easy and hard to go wrong? Because if that's what you're implying, you're dead wrong, mate.

Regardless, this was really neat for a first attempt. A couple tricks in there looked really nice and all that fun stuff. A good piece of advice is to experiment with grab tweaks if you're gonna do so many airs, it keeps things interesting and fun to watch.
Nothing seemed to over the top, at least to me. I personally don't care much for fliptricks to grabs, but that's only me.

Great start though, hope to see more of this, I love watching pool stuff.
