When I watch this video now - I have to cringe at myself for the way I’m delivering it It that how I was back then in the front of the Camera so it’s authentic :) Thanks for watching it and finding value in it I love you all 🫶

I‘m 100% sure that with the correct technique you’ll be able to do it in no time :) It seems that you might have made this a little bit more hard by your board of choice BUT anything is possible with ANY board. Don’t let anyone ever tell you anything else :) You’ve got this!!! 🙌

@@ChrisGenau Thank you! I chose this board because I feel very comfortable on it as a beginner. I've never stood on a board before. Later I would like a smaller, lighter one. But I'll probably need a lot more practice before then. I will definitely keep going, it's so much fun! 😊

Sehr gerne :)

Thank you for watching and leaving those kind words. I really appreciate you 🙏

Hey there, first of all: sorry for making you wait a full week before getting an answer. But now on to your question. I think it is important to develop the correct feeling, but of course that doesn't help much early on obviously. BUT I would like you to start playing with your extension. Go out in your next session and try to extend at various moments. If you do it, that way you will hit it right a few times, thus giving you the feeling that you are looking for. And I promise, you WILL feel it, when you hit it. So experimenting and developing that feeling is absolute paramount. But now on the answer that will help you find the right moment. Looking at myself I think the moment I'm looking to extend is in the apex of the transition. So just when you boards hit the middle curve in between turning from flat to up-slope. And at exactly that moment try to think of your extension as if you we're jumping up and forward on your board, throwing your arms into the direction and help you project up the wall. I'd love to draw it out and get my thoughts down in a video haha, but unfortunately for now, here on youtube I can't answer questions with a video I think. So I hope my above thoughts make any sense at all to you. Let me know, if that was helpful, or if you have any remaining questions? I'm happy to try my best and help you.

Thank you that really means a lot to me. I appreciate you.

Yes I agree that doing these turns will translate better into surfing, than any surfskate practice in the flats. I still believe that practice in the flats has tremendous benefits. You are correct OMBE does not teach kickturns at all. My guess here, this kind of kickturn would be like a foam climb or quick tapping the lip kind of turn in surfing. Very skate modern style. As it governs a backfoot heavy approach. but it isn't really a clean top turn with perfect technique the way ombe teaches us. Hope my ramble is at all relatable and remotely understandable as well :D

@@ChrisGenau Yes, thank you for the reply. Are you still on your CX trucks? I’ve been experimenting with CX, C5, and traditional trucks (wedged). Would like to just commit to one setup though for ramps and bowls, maybe the CX with a stiff setup.

@@ryanallen6092 yep I’m still mostly on my CX trucks almost exclusively. But I do have a Chinese board from sixty-six (was gifted to me by their company) OMBE was given some too. It is the all white board you see sometimes in their videos in the bowl. That truck is a CX derivative with a little less stability. I don’t think it hurts to surf different setups, I’d say it’s like surfing different boards and fin setups. But would 100% recommend cx for bowls, quarter pipes and pump tracks :)

@@ChrisGenau Thanks Chris much appreciated! Great channel!

@@ryanallen6092 thank you 🫶 and any time. If you have a question just hit me up. It means a lot to me that there is a community watching my stuff and that I can be helpful towards, even though uploads have slowed down quite a bit :D

Thanks for watching all the way from Argentina 🙏 that really means a lot to me. I appreciate you being a watcher :)

I did, yes :)

Awesome 😎 Thanks for the feedback. Always the best when my videos are able to help someone out. Keep shredding and progressing 🤙

I‘m a big Fan of OMBE and what Clayton has built. But this video is obviously aimed at being funny and over the top :) Clayton liked it by the way-he shared it on Facebook and in the ombré group 😊

Sorry for the late answer, I was on a 3 week vacation to Thailand :) Thank you for your positive words 🙏🏼 I'm hapy to hear, that my videos are helpful to you. And as for your question: I'm skating the Carver CX Trucks :)

@@ChrisGenau wow, hope your vacation was great! Thanks! Yeah, your videos are extremly helpful!!!

Hi Bernd :), alles Teil des größeren Plans. Einige Gründe: 1. als Arzt kann ich nicht remote arbeiten und komme daher nie zum surfen. 2. Die Arbeitsbedingungen im Krankenhaus sind unglaublich schlecht in den letzten Jahren und auf einem weiteren downtrend. Keine andere Berufsgruppe hat so eine hohe Wahrscheinlichkeit an burnout, depression und Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen zu leiden, wie Ärzte. 3. Ich glaube, dass ich über eine andere Route in der Wirtschaft auf Dauer mehr positiven Impact und Veränderung für das Medizinische System erzeugen kann, als wenn ich als Arzt arbeiten würde. So viel zu mir. Aber wie gehts dir Bernd?

@@ChrisGenau Hi Chris. Alles beim besten hier. Hatten guten Winter letztes Jahr mit sehr gutem Thicklip und mehr Donkey für mich als sonst so. Ist ein schöner boost der dann auch etwas länger anhält. Sommer ist leider dafür absolut das Gegenteil: Platt! Ich bereite mich jetzt schon Fitnissmäßig auf den Winter vor, denn das alter nagt etwas😉. Zeit für dich wieder mal ein Sprung rüber zu machen oder?

Hey there, first of all thank you for sharing and opening up. And then-although you’ve probably heard that one already-at 20 you have so much time left. Even me at 31 I’m not even halfway through life :) I do have to actively remind myself of that, but it’s important to do so. I know you will find your place and I know the way there will be an enjoyable one :) and so will I :)) Let me know if I can be of any help, or answer any questions for you, based on some of my experiences :) Sending you love and positive vibes 🫶

Thank you so much for leaving this comment and positive energy!! I’m happy you found the video helpful. There’s nothing better than hearing this from someone who watched the video 🤙 Unfortunately I can’t tell you. I’m currently in Portugal but the jacket is at home in Berlin. Will look at the Tag when I get back home, but don’t get your hopes up. I bought this jacket all the way back in 2017 haha 😂

@@ChrisGenau Na dann kann ich ja auch auf deutsch schreiben ;) Danke, für deine Antwort & ganz viel Spaß in Portugal! Hey, das wäre echt spitze! eilt ja nicht. Vielleicht finde ich die Jacke ja noch iwo gebraucht ;) Viele Grüße aus Augsburg 👋Isabel

@@slt-recordings wenn ich dir bis Ende nächster Woche nicht geantwortet haben sollte, dann feel free mir hier nochmal einen reminder zu geben. Liebe Grüße nach Augsburg :)

Oh wow that‘s awesome!! Happy to know this video was helpful to you. if there is anything else that I didn’t answer, or where you might have a specific question, please let me know :) I will try my best to help you and answer.

Why is that?

@@ChrisGenau it’s because you don’t have to. I have gotten so used to not pushing that I ride around barefoot and never touch the ground. Up and downhill. It’s one of the things I love most about surfskate.

@@pauljarine that is true, it’s surely what makes surfskating so unique. But since I use my surfskate, as seen in the video, everyday on my way to work through Berlin as well-going barefoot all the time isn’t always possible :D

That is so awesome!! Thank you so much for watching and for the thousandth like 🫶

one of the best marketing podcasts for me personally :)

that’s the way right there ;)

Thank you 🙏🏼

So hard :D someone should invent a special seat for that 😂

Marketing of marketing

Thank you for the positive vibes 🤙🏽 it always fills me joy to hear that someone got help from my videos :)

That is a great observation 😂 if someone’s out there basically putting the „proof of concept“ publicly on RUclips, it’s hard to still find excuses 🤷🏼‍♂️ hope you’re ripping on your smoothstar 🤙🏽

That’s the stuff I love to hear :) Happy you’re out there ripping it up 🤙🏽

I used to be exactly the same way. And to this day I still fall back into that pattern. But I have found, if I just turn the perspective to assess how I look at other people, I realize right away, how stupid I’m being in thinking they would ever make fun of me or look at me weirdly. They’re-just like I am towards them-happy to see someone else out, or not caring or noticing at all :D hope you’re out there having a blast this Sunday 🙌🏼

Oh wow, thank you for your warm words and good vibes 🫶. I hope you’re going to have a blast at your first visit to a pump track! But I have the feeling you are going to kill it 🤙🏽

Thank you for your friendly words and taking the time to type them out :) And congrats on your new surfkskate 🙌🏼 I think skating in the bowl is one of the best practices when it comes to better performance on the surfboard 🏄 Is there any surfskate tutorial you could think of, that still is not on RUclips or not to the level you would like it? Always looking to make another good tutorial-but don’t know what should be next :)

Thank you 🙏🏼 I’d love to see that too, but I struggle, probably like any surfer, to find someone with the time and will to follow me around on surftrips and hold the camera :D

This is a little skatepark in Leipzig, Germany 🇩🇪

Happy to be of help :)

Thank you so much =) Happy Tulio and me were able to provide some help to you.

Thank you my friend!!!

Wow. thank you for your support. it’s really appreciated a ton 🙏🏼

Ja genau, in Leipzig Reudnitz. Coole kleine „concrete wave“ zum üben. Und wenn man früh am Morgen unterwegs ist, hat man den Spot sogar ganz für sich allein :)

@@ChrisGenau ich war einmal dort, wohnen tue ich in Berlin hier gibt's ja Skateplätze ohne Ende aber die Wave in Leipzig fand ich einmalig. Ähnliches habe ich in Berlin noch nicht gefunden.

@@vato6475 wohne jetzt auch in Berlin. Und kann das bestätigen. Aber wenn es jetzt bald wieder warmer und trockener wird muss ich auch mal noch mehr scouten. Habe ich letztes Jahr auch nicht so viel gemacht.

Thank you very much 🙏🏼 what is one tutorial video that is not in my channel library yet, that you would really like to see? soon revamping the content again and I want to make the videos that the people really want to see and need :) thanks for your help 🤝

Honestly I think the Bosu ball is good enough. This is already a difference from surfing, it’s only trying to use similar movement patterns. You won’t ever be able to fully mimic anything. So to my mind, anything on top is more of a gimmick :)

Yes, I 100% believe that. I think it might even be more important. With Progression comes skill, and skill makes scary things less scary because one learns to trust in their own ability :)

Wow that is awesome 👏 congrats to you for starting out and learning something brand new in your 30s. I know skateboarding can be intimidating, especially when so many things look crazy smooth from the outside, but are so hard to get right and coordinated the when only starting out. I’m looking to soon start creating more videos again, so if I can ever help you, please just let me know. Also if I may ask you a question-if you could request any video that would help yourself a lot, what would that be?
