360 flips are one of the sickest tricks In skateboarding looks very Impressive and satisfying also love that trick and one of the coolest tricks I love In skateboarding Is a fs shifty would love to see a fs shifty at this years vert alert that trick Is so cool
I thought that title was a joke, but "riding a skateboard doesn't make you a skateboarder....not being able to stop skateboarding,makes you a skateboarder..."
Andy is so fuckin nice! I got lucky and saw a few of thr nka guys at Venice. Made my whole summer. All of em were dapping me up after tricks. They were all cool, just don't bug em when there filming.
Hell no never give up I'm still trying to learn to Ollie for my first trick keep on practicing man do what you can keep trying harder atleast practicing keeps you trying harder
It took me 20 years to learn kickflips. I always did heelflips. I had a bad habit of kicking my leg out too far with kickflips. I finally learned them after I stopped skating for a few years and came back to it without the incorrect muscle memory. The funny thing is that I struggle with heeflips now instead, and I used to have them on lock.
It took me 17 years to learn how to kickflip. I finally landed one at 27 years old. I'm now 33 and am still not great at them, but I can land them in games of skate, both offense and defense so I'm content with the trick. Generally, I preferred doing back-foot scooping tricks (impossibles, shove its, pressure flips, etc.) but in recent years I've learned a lot of traditional pop & flick tricks (heelflips, half-cab flips, varialflips) and it's exciting!
i’ve never been able to get front pops down and it’s been about 10 yrs worth of skating. i can land one here n there but nowhere as consistently as hardflips, varial heels, late fs shuvs etc
I had the same issue with the adhesive on my gen 1 DKL, and was kind of frustrated because I bought a three pack back in the day and had two unused sheets---I reached out to them on Instagram, and they sent me a new three pack to replace the old stuff I had, and I haven't had any of the same problems with it curling off the board the way that it used to. I think my local climate messes up boards when you store them in the car, though, so I don't know how well the gen 8 griptape handles hot/cold/damp/dry cycles like that. DKL does take a little extra time to adjust to, but it's completely worth the bit of extra cost for how much it saves the wear on your shoes. The only issue that I still have problems with from time to time is that concrete dust completely kills its grip until you wipe/brush/blow it off with an air compressor. Also, I find that a scalpel blade or taped-up safety razor blade works much better for cutting DKL than a standard utility knife. If you have friends that work in healthcare at all, clinics often end up throwing out entire boxes of blades because the packaging has an expiration date, so I ask them to hook me up whenever they are turning over their storerooms.
Same here with experiencing the curling with the early version of their grip but having no issues with recent versions. After how badly it curled on me originally, I'm kinda extra amazed when I see my board now, with the more recent grip, as it looks so pristine and has no curling. :)
Andy Anderson is legitimately one of the nicest, most positive people on the planet. He is so unlike 99% of people, it’s almost like he’s an alien sent to teach us apes the power of positivity. 😂
I never got competitions, but man i live for a good demo. Pros hardly do them outside the big cities now, which is such a bummer. Closest thing you get these days are local rippers at shop events.
That's been happening for over 40 years. This type of griptape has been in development for less than 10 and even then will eventually wear down your shoes.
@@NoahGower People were ruining their shoes with sandpaper before non-abrasive grip came about - so it's sensible to keep ruining your shoes with sandpaper now. That's very interesting logic.
Never give up skateboarding
Never give up ass slappin', never give up gas passin'.

Thanks for answering my questions!
Doesn't Gou Miyagi skate with fabric as griptape?
Your photo with Andy Anderson is AWESOME! ^^

If youre having trouble doing 360 flips, you should try it switch. Lots of skaters do it better switch.

If it takes 30 years to land a trick, youre not putting enough time in.
that story with Andy Anderson is awesome
DUDE it took me almost 20 years for 360flip!!!! sweep the back foot harder you are def focusing on the front foot too much!!
should i keep trying a switch merlin body varial late shuv?
Hell no never give up I'm still trying to learn to Ollie for my first trick keep on practicing man do what you can keep trying harder atleast practicing keeps you trying harder
I met sergie ventura once. He was nice
Is there any trick you've been working on for decades? It took me about 20 years to get decent at hardflips.

Can you test non abrasive griptape while barefoot?
LOL you just want to see Rat feet

I've posted a bunch of questions on your website. I'm just wondering if you got them? Am I doing something wrong with my questions?
i'm pretty sure he records Ask Rat Rad videos in batches and ahead of time, so it's possible yours will show up eventually in the future

I agree. Street League is lame and boring.
Vert competition tried to making the tricks more difficult when every skater is in the air of holding on to the board too early
Didn't watch because of the clickbait, so the answer is yes. It is time for you to give up skateboarding.
😂😂😂😂 calm down lad
although people scrape switch tricks differently than normal. is the indy logo racist?
Ughaaaaa, noooo
No just skate transitions and do your bag of tricks on flat ground. Also keep trolling that Douce bag Kelly Hart!
Using grip that ruins your shoes is utterly idiotic.
There’s grip that doesn’t rip shoes? Lmfao if there is I’m out the loop
