I'd love to start riding vert. I have access to ramps and bowls on my door step but its getting over the fear of dropping in.I've seen many videos with people giving you some tips on this but would love to see your ideas on this, mate!
We've just gone into lockdown again in the UK, so no access to the vert for another month but I like the idea of breaking down the steps to dropping in on vert - I may give the video a shot this week or next. Cheers for the idea fella!
@@LewisFarley I heard about the second lockdown! Pain in the arse but we can't do anything about it. Nice one, I look forward to seeing it. Cheers, mate.
It took me three visits to vert ramp. I was just pumping and kickturning the first one. Second time I was trying get closest to coping, kickturning and going straight. And third time I was trying fakie ollies and tail tap closest to the coping and backside slash. Then I was comfortable and confident that I could drop it. Maybe I just took too much time, but I was really scared to drop in a vert. :D So my advice is just slowly build up your confidence and just kickturn and do basic stuff and then you got it!
Also, we've gone into *another* lockdown here in the UK, so unfortunately I'll not be able to skate the vert again for another 4 weeks. Actually sucks.
Literally the only thing I'm waiting on are my parks being closed until Nov 28th, and even then, we're not sure if quarantine will be extended. Really hoping this pandemic blows over to a point where we can start again!
hey you will be glad to know that lockdowns have very little correlation with suppressing the corona virus. plenty of studies have shown this. so, if you are losing your business, or income, or your mind, chew on the fact that they are unnecessary
Nollie 180, that is a cool one Lewis. Thanks for sharing, so so good to see more vert clips. Unlike Ian, closest Vert ramp for me is a 2 1/2 hr drive, but thankfully not in lock-down!
Awesome vid man! I just recently learned how to drop in (in the process of uploading my video of it) and am ready to get some tricks down!! I neverrr would have thought of nollie 180 as one of the first tricks to learn haha stoked to try it though!! Thanks for the vid man! Just subbed!
do you think learning these tricks below coping is worth anything? asking because a lot of the tricks you are landing higher than where your started, if you do that above coping, that means you will hang up, all the time going into learning muscle memory is wasted, you pretty much have to start over to learn them so you dont hang up .
it would do more sense to learn, say, a fs ollie in the vertical part or at coping-height than to learn a nollie somewhere at the bottom of the transition, definetely! most of these tricks will keep a beginner from learning tricks on the coping, a nollie will ask for speed reduction when you come out of a fs grind. better stick with the classic basic tricks like rock'n roll, 50-50s, etc. that half cab is cool, but will ask for a lot of commitment and skills when you want to pull it off at coping height!
@@gabrielfim923 have you tried (or done), say, a rock'n roll on a 14-foot vertramp as well as in the shallow end of a pool? If you have, and that's what you think, then fine, it's only a matter of appreciation. If not, I'd suggest you give it a try...
Sorry to be a fanboy hah but im sure i met ya at rampcity i musta been 14 ive just turning 23 today few smokes in order if u know ya know hehe, I'd love to skate wit after corona you neally pushing me to find my lost true love nd passion in life i'd be dead with drugs without the shred, family the crew peaceful thoughts to all, just remembered tomorrow could best without hope we re nothing.
went to this ramp city couple weeks ago, first time i had seen a full size vert ramp in person, safe to say videos don't do them justice lol

Huge appreciation for making this video! Gonna help me chart my progress FOR SURE! As always, sending love from Montreal! :)
Thanks brother, always appreciate the comments!

gonna have to give some of these a shot next time I go skate vert!!
Get on it, lad!
Great video keep em coming bro 👊🏼🔥🔥
Thank man!
FS grind is the easiest of the bunch. Just start on smaller ramps and make the progression.
So so good thank you I've been putting attention on vert lately
Good stuff lad.
Hahaha. I'm still learning how to pump.... 🤘😎
Keep it up :-)
This vid is underrated
yo this is my local! im gonna go try these on the vert tomorrow and get some of these down
I have one vert ramp in my city, but man is so scary.. I skated for years and never have the courage to drop in even once... lol
Thanks for this, v helpful!
Your "powerslides" do have a special name - they're called cess slides. Nice video!
Nice trick tips man! I wanna learn these so bad but can't really try cause of this 2nd lockdown 😂
sucks eh

How is that park called ? Looks amazing and also thanks for the tips
Ramp city in blackpool!
@@LewisFarley Thanks!
can you do the nollie above coping yet?
Ez m8
@@LewisFarley to me that trick is a no go
@@xisotopex oh I thought you were being sarcastic haha. I definitely can't nollie above coping, sounds far too scary
@@LewisFarley no not at all I was asking cause to me its a intimidating trick, but you looked like you were pretty close to getting them above coping.
Almost first.. I got it second try!
1:50 steeper transition means tricks are easier to do
no.
@@keeperofthelostpipe he's right tho, easier but definitely a bit scarier
