Aaayyyyyy bloody nailing that manual at the end was incredible. Your brain was like, alright alright, now we actually have a time limit. Boop. Here you are. Also also, we need 15 tiny Sarah's all at once next time ;)
Hi Sarah! My 7-year old son started skateboarding in March. He has great fun with it and I thought it would be a great shared experience. So I got back to cruising after... 25 years. (I'm 41). I'm more wooden than my board now. It turns out it's not as with a bicycle - I forgot everything (and I wasn't all that bad in my teenager days). I'm working on manual now, but it's more about working on my fear of slamming than the technique itself. It's funny, because when I was 16 it was never a problem and my son now also doesn't care about slamming at all. As it was a part of the package. To me, it's a horror part ;) Anyways, we both watch your videos and I'm sure we will learn a lot from you and your clever tips. We'll be following your channel, it's really great and somehow unique in the ocean o skateboard yt channels. Thank you for all your effort. Greetings from Poland! Matt
wow, that's awesome! Welcome back to skating Matt! It's awesome you can now enjoy it in a new way with your son too 😃 I'm glad you like the channel, and I hope you have fun coming back to skating!
Thanks for sharing. Your videos have helped me a lot since I started skating again at 48 years after a 20 year brake. Stay healthy and keep it up. Greetings from over the big pond outa Germany.☮✌
Nice work on the manuals. Manuals take so much practice to learn and to maintain. The Colorado snow had melted a little, enough that I can skate a mani pad again. Trying manuals again is a bit like starting over since I haven’t been able to practice them for months. Keep it up. 👊👍
they really do! I think that's why I originally wasn't that interested in them. They were just such a high barrier to entry it felt lol so much work for such little progress in my case. But, I'm glad I've been pursuing them. They are fun 😃 Hope they don't give you too much trouble back
AS a guy who's about to take up skating aged 36, after 23 years of not touching a board, the one at 2:45 scares me the most... don't want to get injured doing that, so I've started a stretching regime to make me more flexible, but those kinds of ones worry me the most...
Thats great Sarah! As a beginner skater im learning a lot from your videos!! One question, what wheels are you riding on? Because i want to skate on concrete and its either too hard wheels that i cant skate at all, or really soft wheels that i have a hard time learning tricks on.
I had the 93 dragon wheels from powell on this set up. They're pretty great for bad asphalt. But, if you're skating on smoother concrete, I would actually recommend the bones x formula. I have the 97a version, and I love them! They're a very good in between. not too soft and not too hard.
@@SarahParkMatott Thank you so much for the answer! I think i'm going to try both of them sooner or later! The 93 Powell have a soft feeling on rough concrete? Thank again in advance.
@@GeorgeKalokairinos yes! A softer feeling than standard 97 to 101 wheels. But, they feel harder than a regular soft 93 of course with the special formula 😃
You have such great balance at such a slow speed. Have you ever tried a freestyle board? Someone else this but I’ll say it too. It’s really hard to Ollie a nose stall on a curb that is lower than your deck.
nice. i like trying to kinda just whip/scoop/pivot into stalls on low curbs. i really like those bs 180 no complies, but they just don't make sense to me :)
haha Definitely. This curb needs to start with a sanding brick to make it slide-able though. Luckily, I found my old little box for slides last month 😃
@@SarahParkMatott skatenator; wrong. That's what ginding is for. You're a skate grinding machine 2 4 1. That nose stall is solid. Now get one inch of slide on it. You'll need a drop of speed for it. But you'll want more slide so you'll want more speed after you get the slide as comfortable as your stall. Clock nose slide in your little book for me,
@@SarahParkMatott your like an engineer mathematically. So let's make it an equation. S = speed, R = radical, p = progress. So S prerequisite to achieve R to achieve P. It's a slippery slope, once your sliding you'll want speed to slide farther. Speed is your friend(keep getting friendly with it) . Skater's hunt speed.
@@SarahParkMatott I don't have a sidewalk to roll off of or I'd go do it on my curb project. I need to grind my curb smooth. Lube it up with plenty of waxy love. Grind it smooth and polish it with my board. Wax on, Mr Miage said. Do some grinds rolling off the top.

I LOVE THE SMALL TECHY STUFF WAY MORE THAN THE BIG FLIPS
Low impact skating is always fun and working on basic tricks is always needed.
Super beginner stuff…
You have not seen me! This is advanced! Great video as always 👍
haha it's all relative, right? 😂 thank you! 😃

recovering from a fractured fibula so low impact skating will defo be the way for a while!
thank you so much for the insight,I"m 53 and started skating again 4 yrs ago.
Thanks for sharing. Your videos have helped me a lot since I started skating again at 48 years after a 20 year brake.
Stay healthy and keep it up.

i live in southern colorado and it's been snowing once a week here since the middle of march.
they really do! I think that's why I originally wasn't that interested in them. They were just such a high barrier to entry it felt lol so much work for such little progress in my case. But, I'm glad I've been pursuing them. They are fun 😃 Hope they don't give you too much trouble back
i love your pfp XD
We have moved from snow to rain in Montreal. Its improving lol!

One of my favorite skaters bc of your relatable skill level... although I'll admit you're better than me lol.
Me encanta tu dedicación, de verdad eres una gran inspiración para mi. Gracias.
Muchas Gracias🙏
i love your videos so much. i am learning but also have an asmr session w your voice and the skateboard.
Love this video. The tricks seem easy, but actually they aren't. I've been practicing some of these tricks and they can be difficult to do correctly
I recently did a 20 second 1 foot manual and it was sick
hell yeah 💪
for me the easiest way to manual is to center my belly button over whatever axle i'm manualling on.
belly button works haha I always think head over my wheels 💪
Good board control
thats the deck I use!!! it's so good
ありがとうございます！

You have such great balance at such a slow speed. Have you ever tried a freestyle board? Someone else this but I’ll say it too. It’s really hard to Ollie a nose stall on a curb that is lower than your deck.
I would say I ride my freestyle skateboard more often than my popsicle 😂 I love them!
💯💯💯

haha the bs 180 no comply definitely broke my brain for a while 😂 something clicked last month with them...but they're still really hard
@@SarahParkMatott it's a really cool trick. have you ever seen ray barbee's 'ban this' part? it's old but a classic and still holds up
@@diplenski ahh not yet! Ban This is next on my parts to watch list. I’ll have to keep an eye out 😃
Good
I was willing you on with those manuals and let out a big 'Yes' at 7.55. :)
haha thank you! 😂 same. I was so excited!
Hi Sarah how u doin . You look great.
From the 🇵🇭
thank you! I am well. I hope you're doing well 🙋♀️
Totally RADical curb action. Don't be scared of wax. Or lubrication in general.
