    One more thing in case people aren't aware: if you press BOTH triggers while in a grind you can then pop into a completely different grind on the same rail. Great video! I definitely learned some things I'm eager to try out

      Varial flips are easy you do a kickflip and move the analog stick up to the right corner in goofy for regular it would be up to the left. Also hardflips in goofy is the same thing but with the analog stick going up the left corner

    Quick tip for double grinds or jumping out of grinds
    I came looking for more tips on grinds but saw that you left out jumping from grinds to grinds. Found out yesterday that you could do this by using the bumpers before jumping, just press the bumper before jumping and you'll go to each side, left bumper to jump left or right bumper to jump right out of the grind, and press BOTH of them right before jumping and you'll go foward.
    Keep in mind that you have to PRESS them right before jumping out of the grind, not hold, PRESS them right before jumping out of the grind.

    I'm stuck at work right now, but I'll put these tips to work tonight. Very informative and great vid, can't wait to see your tips on flip tricks ( I wanna learn impossibles and forward flips!) I had known but forgot upon playing the game that you could click the sticks to pop out, so that is something I'll use for sure. Again, great vid, on you Ghost of Tsushima stuff as well!

    • @PlaySA
      @PlaySA 4 года назад

      You can't do impossibles in this game as far as I know. Forward flips are possible I think, just do like a kickflip but hold the front flip diagonally forward and left instead of straight left

  • @nickm397
    @nickm397 3 года назад

    Great video!
    I've been using a different approach for crooks/overcooks; up on the front foot to lock in and left/right on the back foot.
    Another way to do nose and tail slides is to adopt the powerslide/shifty movement like t boardslides but being further from the ledge, this creates a pretty smooth lockin for super fast slides.

  • @PlaySA
    @PlaySA 4 года назад

    Just a little tip, EVEN IF you use the triggers to start your boardslide/lipslide, you can still shifty/revert out of it at the end of the grind which looks WAY better. So, entry with the triggers, exit with the shifty

      Same here, I actually liked session a lot more than Skater XL at first but now that Skater XL has a real release and session... not sure what's going on with session. One thing though, Skater XL NEEDS that Session feature where you can place obstacles wherever you want them. That was honestly half the fun of that game

    • @PlaySA
      @PlaySA 4 года назад +1

      It seems pretty similar to Session to me? Maybe session is a bit more on rails if you know what I mean, the results are more clear when you do the inputs. With a 3 shuv just push one side with your back foot, make sure you have enough space and HOLD that back foot to the side until the board has made a full 360 rotation, then release to catch, otherwise you'll just do normal shuvs

    • @_here_hear
      @_here_hear 4 года назад

      @@PlaySA ahhh maybe that's the ticket, holding until it's a 3shuv. I can get them just not consistently. Thought it was just a harder flick. I didn't know if I should start with the back foot (right stick [reg]) down at 6'oclock or start it at 3'oclock, you know? Thanks for the info though!

Loved the kickflip backflip 270 out! I can’t wait to do a trey flip front tail to fakie, haha and a trey flip noseblunt (like Eric Koston did on a handrail at the end of yeah right! I think Chris cole did it on a gold rail in some zero video as well, it’s a great trick (I’m sure by now many other skaters have done trey flip noseblunts on big handrails that I’m not aware of) great video!

      That should be possible. First get on the nose slide, then push BOTH triggers at the same time, then instantly launch the shuv/180, then input for the nose or tail. That will be really difficult but not impossible, find a long rail to practice on

    Can anyone help with changing your shoes back to red and blue? The option isn't there on console now I changed to some different kicks.

    Any advice on jumping out of a grind into another grind? I always seem to jump away from the target rail/ledge. Thanks

    • @DMTgamezone

      Use the bumpers. Press the left bumper right before jumping out and you'll go left, press the right bumper before and you'll go right, press both of them and you'll jump straigh foward and maybe continue the grind. I just found this out yesterday by myself trying to do 180s, felt great and came looking for more tips.

      DMTgamezone this doesn’t work for me. Bumpers just perform grabs.

      Not bumpers, triggers. While you're in the first grind, push both triggers down then immediately pop up into your next grind, you'll see that you stay on the same rail and can do a separate grind
