I was trying to fakie flip this loading ramp not too long ago, but you need to get pulled by a car doing it. So I was hauling ass switch and hit a crack or a pebble or something going up the ramp and flew and landed directly on my left shoulder.
Skating fast is scary but so much fun.

I've found if you lean back a tiny bit and put almost no pressure on your feet you can cruise over rocks.. even with small ass wheels.
One of the guys I used to skate with as a teenager still suffers from very bad seizures from cracking his head on a hill bomb. Smaller wheels, speed wobbles, tiny rocks, and him with no helmet. Messed him up pretty bad when that wheel pinched and threw him. I have another friend who lost a ball when he janked out a boardslide on a 6 step rail and landed full nutter. You gotta be careful out there. I have a nice medical file of broken, sprained, and tweaked muscles and bones from hucking myself off just about anything I could climb up on. Skate smarter than I did as a kid.

When parents ask me about skating or snowboarding, I always tell them I'm a prime example as to why their kid needs to wear a helmet. Seven concussions later, my short term... Uh... Crap... Short term... What the heck is that... Oh well, I can't rememember, but it's not very good anymore.Originally Posted by replicant

got my halfcab heels down (never really tried them until my friend would always give me a letter at SKATE with it so I learned them lol), i'm getting close to get switch and reg fs bigspins, and i'm coming close to landing inward heel, hardflip and varial heel and a couple other ones too... hopefully i'll get them over the summer, along with other tricks I'm thinking of trying
360 double flip (Tre flip with a double flip), Switch big flips, triple flips
Hesitation.....Kills
fuckin shit idk, learned a lot last year and dont really feel up to expanding too much but i guess ive been working on the merlin twist and switch big heel. everything else is like....bleh.
if anything the question should be what new spots have you used your new tricks on this year.
tried merlin twist off a curb.....swag...
IM A BOSS ASS BITCH
I've been skating the local tennis courts..
found a nice slappy that goes down a long mellow hill
my apartment complex is pretty fun.
I might be filming tomorrow if all goes well.. but be warned tricks are not as clean as I'd like them yet.
I'm going to the beach next weekend to film a gnarly hillbomb. So fucking stoked.
GT: ZigZaggerr
fakie one foot pivot 360 manual spin
walk the dog into a spacewalk shuv
Fakie one foots..
that might be easier.. going to try them today.
Loving those variations man..
Hopefully I'll get a few of my own good and clean.
Fs Bert slide
Fs 360 Bert slide
Boneless a hip
Still trying to learn more..
don't really have a lot of flatground tricks yet, it's a lot more of being comfortable and knowing your board and its rotations..
or so it seems.
I got the fakie one footed revert.. gotta plant as you lose traction.
oh, you are doing a footplant as you fakie pivot? or just a one foot?
my fakie 540 one foot is more of a manual wheel bite spin with the foot being off for the first 360, but theres no plant.
i can do about 10 walk the dogs quick, right into space walk shuvs, and i can do multiple one foot pivots in any direction any foot now.
It seems the looser my trucks the more control im getting. loosened em another quarter turn today

Yeah fakie 180 pivot just plants for now..
it's pretty fun because you can kick while sliding in one motion and roll on to other tricks..
I will probably slowly start putting my foot down later into the trick as I learn it.. move onto more spins, etc.
I have some decent ones I don't think I've seen people do though.. waiting on the person who filmed me to send me some stuff I may make a short promo thing.
yesterday i landed a boardslide and a 50-50 on a ten set rail. i almost have blunt slides on handrails, i have tre flips on lock, fs flips on lock, back lips back smiths fs smith working on blunt 180 outs on tranny, and some mo shit
BREAST MILK MADE ME STRONG
I don't know what to call them but I made a few new tricks today
slide back to one foot pop a hardflip get half of the rotation into a fence while off the board jump back on looks pretty interesting
Uh quad toss unders I guess its like a caveman flip but I slide back to one foot pop up I grab the middle of the board and flick a quad rotation
One footed reverts without the plant.. mad steez.
Getting more technical with sal flip's to 360 shuv outs
manualed a little longer
yep
oh and coming close to rail flip to rail..
they are so scary haha

really hard to picture you doing these things antwan, looking forward to some footy
today i got a few new ones:
540 boneless on bank
360 boneless on a bank
360 boneless a hip
Sounds crazy.. 540.. can't imagine, like a pivot to 540 or straight 540 spin? either or still crazy.
Man I want to skate today but my shins and feet kill..
any tips for less pain? Haha
yeah its like a 360 landing in a pivot to finish it off. Got it in a game of bank SKATE with Mustafiz he dropped his board and walked away haha
just keep skating man, every day its dry outside, i do. Sure im sore and tired a lot but but you get used to it. I find i get stiff more than sore though, a little flatground warm up and im loose and ready to go.
Speaking of loose, loosened my trucks another quarter turn. The front one has started to jiggle a bit when you shake the board. Its not Deawon loose but im getting there and its feeling better the looser I go...

Hell yeah..
Yeah I've got like an hour and a half before dark
I think I'll go try to get a few tricks
watch out for wheel bite man..
I skate with mine tight I like them that way so I can adjust like if I decide to bomb a hill or something
I've never really messed with anything on boards though I've always skated them with just about full tightness.
Last trick I learned before my board broke was a blunt to stall on a mini at a park. Super stoked on getting them but I've probably lost them now.
boneless manual, and caveman manual down this bank:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4S6S...el_video_title
found this new little outdoor park, super slippery marble kinda ground, tonnes of new bert slide variations on the banks, pyramids ect Felt real cool, like skating on ice, you can like lay all the way back and just slide
linking multiple one foot 180 pivots (have them in every direction with either foot)
and mixing them into sequences with spacewalks and walk the dogs
bs 180 boneless
360 boneless into a spacewalk
fakie no comply
fakie no comply bigspin
fs 900 manual spin fs shuv out
body varial into 540 manual spin
walk the dog with the opposite foot
shaved another 2 inches off my oldschool board, no more huge tailpretty much lost my ollie but flatground is feeling so much more natural...

im starting to learn now this year so maybe by the end of the summer i won't be such a lazy fatass.
ollie
bs shuv
that's pretty much it.
It happens man.. Weather has been terrible for me here so I can't even skate though I want to.
That's sick though man getting started is the best thing once you're comfortable with the basics you can branch in any direction you want to
180's, footplants, reverts, pivots manual spins.. boneless.. no comply.. or even new fliptricks it all goes together because it's all about being comfortable
with your setup.. it's so much fun to see your progression through it all and how you learn new things from one basic idea.
thanks for the words of encouragement man. still not really confident enough to head out to parks, still resigned to the driveway for now. im still trying to work on doing both moving, i can't do either one with consistency yet but im getting there at least. felt so boss when i landed the bs shuv though, probably one of the most euphoric feelings of my life short of orgasm
Ha nice.. yeah man.. I get the feeling everytime I land a new trick. Very satisfied.
What are your trial and errors with the tricks? I'm sure I could give advice.
landing sideways mostly, the bs shuv was kind of a fluke when i tried an ollie but i got the shuv, and now ive been trying those even more but whenever i try to ollie that's my main inconsistency. i think my problem is that im not actually popping straight and for some reason my leg snaps behind me so i end up going in a shuv
Sounds like you're not parallel with the board man..
your whole body should be straight and by that I don't mean turning out
your shoulders should align with the board unless you're going to do a shuv or an ollie 180.
notice his shoulders are straight, centered with the board..
it's your natural tendency to turn out so it will come in practice but just keep it in mind.
Oh and dude I would actually recommend hitting up the park if you're into progression
seeing others do it might actually help you learn faster.. they might even give you pointers.

Most valuable trick I learned was a Fakie bigspin. Best trick I learned was a boneless laser flip...that gets everyone in SKATE all the time.
Got sal-flip quad fingerslap body varial today
to explain it more I doubt anyone will try it but you know
A sal-flip motion but pop it a little more vertical
just let the board glide for a second don't grab it
slap the side up with enough force to get a nice quad rotation, jump while it's doing that
bolts.
boneless down a 4 set
180 boneless up a 3 set
360 boneless out of a huge bank, mustafiz said about 4 feet of air, the best feeling i've had in skateboarding yet
I love bonelesses...classic
"And remember...no matter where you go, there you are."
i got finally back into RL skating and re-learned treflip and hardflip within about two weeks haha. Thats nice cause i always had troubles with these two tricks back in the days when i skated more active...

flying is the shit
Just got a quick 900 manual spin then slowed it down until i was stopped dead in the manual, spacewalked for 5-10 secs shuv out
such a tiring trick to get, 7 years in the making, never thought i'd be able to stop a manual spin...

Nice Man..
I cleaned up my sal-flips
watched some mike v videos for ideas
Now basically it's a vertical pressure flip that you hop off of..
noticed he was doing that.. came pretty natural.
Going to work on manual spins and bonelesses today.
Maybe bert slides.
FS Shuv rewinds would be sick.
