skating flat in a garage will always be the best, especially remembering how you started out being afraid to commit.
Also best flatground trick is definitely a swtich shifty

[@whereisarthur]

back heel with a car coming behind you, nice! and flatground skating is amazing, so fun to do, so important in skateboarding progression!

[@liam_dawson]

Haha you noticed that!

[@chris_devlog]

skateboarding in the neighborhood is such a core memory

[@liam_dawson]

where it all began!

[@Allthingslife30]

Flatground is and will always be my main focus, due to the fact I will be able to do it much longer than jumping off stairs. As a skater of 17 years , in my early days I would do stairs a lot but over time I would get a lot more injuries. I still occasionally do stairs in my 30’s now but flatground will always be number one to me! Thanks for the video and advice , much love and happy new year!

[@liam_dawson]

True! Its nice we can always revisit it! Happy new year!

Have been neglecting my flat game for ages. When i got to the point where i was able to hit spots and skate more of the skateparks, i forgot much of my flat tricks. I recently moved home to my parents after splitting up with my girlfriend, my parents live in a small town with minimal spots and no skaters, just going out for a flat skate have been so good feeling. A lot of emotions need to get out, and the flat practice, madness that comes with it really helps to burn out some steam. When i land a new trick or relearn an old one, it feels so good, i get some good joy back, that have been scarce for a little while.
Sorry for the long comment, got to whrite feelings down every once in a while.
Good video, got me motivated to skate!

[@liam_dawson]

I think that’s huge, skating does allow us an outlet, also our progression sometimes gets amped up when we’re looking for a way to deal with our emotions. Good point, thanks for that

[@dasmondgunn356]

Flat ground teaches discipline and builds up your control on the board overall. It also teaches u how to gain proper strength to get a better pop out of your tricks

[@skrrratch]

very nicely said love the vibe! nice sound too!

[@whereisarthur]

digging the sound too!

[@bryanchuangkukoksi]

man! love your style

[@alex.ruairidh]

yo man i'm from Scotland and really enjoying your content , glad I found your channel. I've set myself the goal of consistent flatground kickflips by the end of the year. Right now its taking me around 50 attempts for 3 successful kickflips. It's a real grind sometimes but this video sparked my motivation

[@liam_dawson]

That’s really sick to hear! Thx for watching. Also, your curve of consistency will come around with that effort 👊🏼.

[@chris_devlog]

congrats on 1k subscribers! Well deserved

[@liam_dawson]

thank you !!

[@HENNOZINGER]

Favo and best feeling trick for me will always be varial heel.

[@paunchcoorlightly4000]

nice! just wanted to suggest an external mic and some sound level mixing. music is really loud and your voice is low in the mix. just a suggestion!

[@10isawsome]

Favorite flat ground trick is kick flip at max speed

[@gallowsend]

Nice vid bro

[@liam_dawson]

Thank u!!

[@luna_nav377]

3rd reason I already knew lol flat ground looks awesome but if it was simple everyone would do it

[@zukitori5442]

Love this bro, got any tips on impossibles or front 3’s?

[@liam_dawson]

Tip on front 3s make sure you are looking over your shoulder after your 1st 180 rotation, then forcing your board into completing the full rotation. And thanks !

[@zukitori5442]

@@liam_dawson WORDDD thanks man

[@sk8fm448]

Ollie north frontside 180

[@liam_dawson]

Haha I see it could be !

[@snowjerkface]

as an old man, I completely agree. There's an interview somewhere deep in the skate archives where Wu Welsh talks about how important it is.

[@scott.skates]

Thank you for your wisdom Father Time 🧙🏽‍♂😂🤣

[@Horseington]

Hospital heelflip or casper heel however you want to call it. somehow the easiest trick i know yet nobody else seems to be able to do it.

[@liam_dawson]

That’s sick, I wonder what else you got up your sleeve if that’s easy to you!

[@Jaapkl]

Bs Flip, nollie flip, fakie front shuv or nollie bs bigspin

[@Jack-fj7yc]

it’s “passersby”, if you care

[@liam_dawson]

Yes! That matters
