Nice progress, mate. Similar story here: grew up skating and now having a crack at it again in my mid-30s before my skeleton gives out entirely. Amazed by how many skateparks have popped up around here over the last few years, I keep spotting parks on here that are just down the road from me!
@@KieranClarkSkates It's great to see so many parks around, and the exposure that skating is getting in general. We all used to rave on about how it needed to be an Olympic sport, which seemed far-fetched at the time...
*I haven’t tried this trick yet* BUT it reminds me of when I was working on fakie bigspins and my biggest problem was not focusing enough on the halfcab rotation and making sure I got my shoulders the whole way round, before I was landing them at 90° and having to pivot like the half cab heel you landed and once i focused more on doing the half cab with my body it became much easier to land the fakie big. great work tho mate, love some flatground content!
Hell yeah kieran keep at it bro it’s a hard one, if it helps I find if I lean heel side before popping it tilts the board giving me something to flick off, hope it helps, you got this
@@KieranClarkSkates I have been working on a bump to ledge trying to Ollie into my nose slide. I get them (some of them) but the board is dipped. I am not getting my weight over the ledge. I don't want to make the video until I get good ones.
If I hadn’t already got closer with more rotation I’d take this one, but ice had a few come right round that I almost got on so I know I can do it nicer. Just got to keep swinging.
The one you’re after is coming 👊 vids aren’t samey when you’ve got a mission mate, they’re sick. Mine are getting worryingly samey. Might follow your lead soon and dedicate a week or something to a new trick
Cheers mate appreciate that. Honestly I think your videos are great, you can see the progress each and every week. Wish I could flow round parks like you can bud.
Those half-cab heels are getting there. I haven't done that trick in a while. This may or may not work. But try focusing more on the heel flip motion more. I could be wrong because maybe you just need more rotation with the 180, but It's good to think about it as a heelflip 180. If you know what I mean.
I totally get why your not happy with it (I probably wouldn't if it was me either) but I think it was good. When your looking at someone else do a trick I feel like your more forgiving and think its better than if you did the same thing. We are always too hard on ourselves.
Nice work. Keep at it. You’re getting close to that clean one you’ve been chasing. 👊👍
I’m feeling it now, just need one long session on it and I think Ive got it.

There’s a fair few of us on here going for round 2 on the board. Yeah the level of parks has seriously improved in the last 10 years or so.

It’s crazy to see how far it’s come.

Cheers for the tip mate I’ll definitely bear that in mind. Hopefully getting a sesh in this afternoon for another pop at them.
Hell yea dude, one of my favorite tricks
Just need to get the clean one I’m chasing but it’s going to be one of my favourites too I think.
Enjoying these mate, keep going and you will get one you are happy with!
Cheers Scott, I just want that one clean one so I can walk away happy 😂 hopefully get some sessions in this week so I can put it down.
Putting the work in! So close!
Thanks bud
yeah, well done, 2 feet on the board, come on... steeze lives in the revert btw
Hey man as long as it comes round I ain’t fussy 😂 again really appreciate your help mate, made a massive difference.
Hell yeah kieran keep at it bro it’s a hard one, if it helps I find if I lean heel side before popping it tilts the board giving me something to flick off, hope it helps, you got this
Cheers mate, I’ll put that into practice next time on on these. They feel frustratingly close, any help to get me over the line is super appreciated.
I get it man. You have to be happy with it. But definitely progress. Stay rad and go get it.
You know how it is, you got to roll away happy and this land just wasn’t it. Next time.

Sick!
That’s some dedication bro, I’d defo be taking that as a make but I know you’ll want to get rotation 👊🏻
If I hadn’t already got closer with more rotation I’d take this one, but ice had a few come right round that I almost got on so I know I can do it nicer. Just got to keep swinging.

Cheers Rayvin, I’ll give that a crack. Really want this one.
Amazing bro ❤
Cheers mate
That totally counts you’ll clean it up later but that was sick!!
Thanks mate, I just want to get that one that feels right. All smooth and buttery.
Very committed battle 💪 What park is this btw?
It’s Kibworth skatepark, Leicestershire. Only opened earlier this year. Pretty good one.
Keep at it
Cheers Phil
I gotta try this one, cheers man
Go get it bud.

That is very true. Often with me I just want the first one to feel right in the moment. Tbh watching this land back it’s not too bad.
