Pantheon with Hawgs | 3 sessions in 24 hours

- Hi. Truly an amazing time of just practicing. Seems so simple, but having just come off a 48 hour water only fast-I needed to be cautious in my energy output-especially in humid heat in San Antonio, Texas.
Here is the climbing video:
• Back to it | First V-6...
My take aways from these 3 condensed sessions:
1) warm up with crouch (squat) to have functional movement & mobility. I’m more confident in stand up and don’t spend much time in the lower position.
2) in the tuck, I like my right knee top corner just behind the left outer back of knee.
3) reviewing my videos periodically to make sure I’m weighting my front foot. Simple, but it’s still a conscious thought and not instinct / muscle memory yet.
4) I liked the harder kick starts on the Pantheon skateboard and felt in control/balance.
5) the hawgs were a different wheel and could feel the road much better. Actually first scared me and didn’t like the feeling, but I got use to them and love them.

See you soon soon in next video.

Gotta love Hawgs thane for slides.
There's a mod you can add to prevent your front foot slipping on heelside slides. It's called a toestop; Scythe has a really nice one.
BTW, is the weird sound just the Cuei's lips interacting with the pavement? Nothing out of the ordinary if you ask me. They are just trying to grip.
edit: Or is it the bearings not rolling anymore? Do the wheels have a lot of friction when you try to free spin them?
Truthfully not really sure on the sound. I changed them out. I will have to check the Cuei bearings and maybe the inside is touching the truck? Odd though since they were on before and no issues.
I’ll try the other foot stop, too. Thanks.
Nice work! That last one you did at 4:47 was noticeably better. You see how the back knee was tucked in toward your front leg further? This is kind of like rock climbing/center of balance basics, but you’re bringing the center forward, and that’s going to help you a lot with control and staying on the deck. Good luck!
Much thanks and greatly appreciated for the incredible board and the comment. Yes, definitely seeing significance of balance basics and do plan on building on it for more skill with time. 🙏🤘
Compared to your first hill bomb, your sliding has come so far! It's nice having the ability to stop on a skateboard any time, any speed.
Thank you and much appreciated. Still quite away from consistent technique, but definitely zero doubt I can stop. So enjoying the practice sessions and more fun with each learning skill set.
try making your knee as close as possible so it would be more stable and put your hand a bit more infront so you wont be dragging it really good seeing you improve each video
Thank you and will try that.
Study your front foot placement,it's not ideal. Try a tad less pointing it forward,move the angle of the footstop a bit . And definitely less toe hanging off front edge of the board,hang more of front foot off heal side
Thank you. That does seem to make sense as even when I’m weighting the front-it still feels unbalanced because I am pointing more forward. Will be trying that tonight.
