Skate Better - Spitfire OG Classic Wheel Review
My review of the Spitfire OG Classic Wheel 52mm 99 duro.
I accidentally say “cone-ical” instead of *con-ical” so please excuse me. I also mention this is the widest riding surface spitfire makes which is not true- they have bigger wheels but I think just for 52mm they are still the widest. :)

Skate Better - April Deck Review
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.Год назад
My review of an April 8.38 Guy Mariano deck. I apologize that the lighting is a bit weird on this one- trying something in the new house but I will continue to switch it up until I find something that works. *NOTE* I mention the length as 31.2 (from a website); upon measuring I found it to be 32 in length so I apologize for the mistake). Shoutout to @RikRiorik for the correction. Thanks for all...

    Thanks man! Great video! So, ordering them, they rank like this: *Lean needed to Turn:* (least to most) 1. Thunder (most responsive) 2. Indy 3. Venture (least responsive) *And over the Wheelbase:* (shortest to longest) 1. Indy 2. Thunder 3. Venture

    this is cool but to take the attitude there's just all sorts of kickflips and this is how i do them and sometimes they rocket is...c'mon. :) being able to catch your flip tricks is not just another way to do them, it is the more advanced and correct way to do them..still working on it myself!

      Haha i get what you’re saying- I’m not saying those two things are mutually exclusive. Just saying that I don’t have the best kickflips all the time, and that people do them differently (not related to proper technique). Hopefully that helps!

    Best KF tutorial! I've watched so many and this one works. Especially the section explaining the various potentially successful flick types or styles. And I've never heard anyone discuss popping by kicking backwards against the tail to bring the board towards you to flick against... I have an extremely inconstant KF however I know every time I get a good one that somehow I've ninja kicked my pop foot back and away, which brings the board not only up, but back towards my crotch. This video also allowed me to use the word crotch in a comment which makes it even better! 😅 Edit: Oh! And I realized during this video that the steps are NOT... = "Pop&level>>(pause)>>Flick>>Catch>>Land" - It is actually = "Pop>>(pause)>>Level&Flick>>Catch>>Land"
