Yeah man, so much skating and not near enough time. I'll check out your video soon. and thanks man, those parking blocks were calling any name to play around with them.
+SamsungGalaxyTab2 haha, yeah, they were so unexpected I think I didn't even imagine it as a possibility. Also I almost thought I might have been able to stay in that primo position and balance on top.
SUVIVE SKATEBOARDING thanks guys! I've been enjoying transition and bowl skating a bit more. Working up the courage to drop in on something bigger. We'll get there.
You did some nice clean pop shuvits onto the parking blocks, cool! Kickflip tip - keep your weight over the front foot, that way your front foot won't have as far to go when you are in mid-air and ready to flick the board - your body will be further forward. Also, keep your shoulders parallel to the length of the board, don't be tempted to turn to face towards the nose, this will keep the board straight.
Thanks man, even though I am answering this comment now i saw your comment before i skated yesterday and tried to keep some of what you were saying in mind. It was helpful. Thanks dude.
I don't know why, but attempting shuvits in fakie stance terrifies me. Yet so many people find it easier. O__O That primo land on the milkshake was actually really cool. That'd be a sick freestyle trick if you could somehow land it.
DashiSmash Dash yeah, I am one of those people who find it easier riding fakie but I hear you. The forward momentum can be a bit overwhelming. And yeah, I thought so too on the primo land.
+Dongus dude! Epic! That's awesome man, congratulations! So proud of you and glad to know I had some small part in that motivation. Keep after it brother.
you got your flips, you just need the balls to keep you feet up above the board. haha i was the same way 15 years ago. once you land it youll keep your feet up every time. keep it up man!
Just an FYI. I noticed that the more you rotate your shoulders during the pop, the worse your kickflips are. Your best attempts were the most parallel between board and shoulders. I notice you turn your shoulders when you fail ollies a lot as well - mostly when you're jumping things like manholes. Keep it up! Still better than me!
That shuv to curb to curb to shuv out was cool.
Old Man Skateboards thanks man, I always want to mess with those curbs. Just seemed like a natural fit with the way they were set-up
Welcome to my world Ben !
44 years old, 4 kids and little time to skate...
I just add a new video online!
Great creative idea with those shuv to curb!
Yeah man, so much skating and not near enough time. I'll check out your video soon. and thanks man, those parking blocks were calling any name to play around with them.
I really love watching you progress. You can tell you are getting more and more board control with every video. Keep it up!
+D Manga thanks man, appreciate the good vibes. Getting a little stronger every day. Keep after it dude.
You're doing awesome man! That caveman nose slide was almost as cool as the milkshake to Primo. 👍😎
It was cool how the primos were not a big deal, no panic.
+Joshua Hamell thanks man, it was fun and I appreciate going with the flow of what inspires me in the moment.
+SamsungGalaxyTab2 haha, yeah, they were so unexpected I think I didn't even imagine it as a possibility. Also I almost thought I might have been able to stay in that primo position and balance on top.

dude I landed my first rolling kickflip tonight! I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for you getting me back into skating.

Thanks yo, yeah, I need to figure that part out. the struggle is real.
Nose slides were always hard! Good progress man!
+superchanneljim thanks dude, was fun to get a feel for the balance by one footing it and also the caveman. Now I gotta work on ollieing into it.

JakeXSV haha, I do love how they always slow down and creep, same with the neighborhood security cars too. Never changes man
You're super close on kickflips!

rebusd I'll keep after it man. This is my first time around though.
Ah. Even better, good on ya.
hell yeah, let's get it.
stop making your board go forward with your flick and raise that back foot pls , you are just making the same mistake over and over again
+Kevin Adam word, these old knee bones don't want to cooperate. I'll keep after it and do my best.
