Huge shout out to your friend Brad for teaching 👊🏼 His close attention to details is very helpful indeed. For example, when he spoke about where exactly on the truck, the coping would specifically hit. We really appreciate those types of details. Respectfully, Dan

Would be great on all these basics if you showed how to safely bail out of them too - what the most likely causes for bailing are, how to clear the board and spot the bail zone etc. Frontside on minis are especially weird to learn to bail from because you’re turned around and you don’t have much room to slide.

@SkateparkLessons 3 жыл бұрын

Yea mini ramp doesn’t really require knee sliding but it can help build confidence required to commit to tricks. These videos would be to long if I showed nails for every trick, just practice what I teach in the bails videos

Man skateboarded all my life. I’m 48 now. Went on a skating sabbatical for 15 years. Got back into it about 2 mos ago. Frontside smiths and 5/0’s were my favorite laid back tricks. I’m back at it and for some reason I’m terrified of doing frontside grinds. Yet I can do frontside and backside disasters, Blunt to backside & front side disasters, backside grinds no issue, but ooohh nooo not frontside grinds. Skateboarding It’s so strange what messes w/ your head.

I can fs slash all day long but the the standup is a huge next jump I’m finding fs 5050’s are a good middle ground stepping stone as you learn the feeling of the standup without needing to focus on the 5/O part, I’m really bad at manuals by balance with them seems to be eternally awful so need to work on that part too so I’d definitely say having good manuals and fs5050’s would help learning fs 5/O’s , I’ll get there eventually 🤔😂

Stand ups take a lot more speed and commitment to pumping up to be on Top of the coping with your head over your back foot and back knee bent strong like standing on one foot. This is a push grind so you want your body weight behind you pushing your board and momentum. Less about balance and manual. More about speed and pinch point into the back heel wheel against the coping. Thanks for your feedback and support. More epic videos coming soon 💙🛹💙

What is the secret to doing these on pool coping? I can lock in just fine on metal coping and do long stand up fs grinds but I can’t get the hang of them on pool coping. I can only slash pool coping and I don’t get the feeling of locking into the fs grind. Any advice?

@SkateparkLessons 3 жыл бұрын

Speed is the key to get you over the nose of pool coping if it’s set right, and bigger wheels 56mm-58mm will help you lock in better. Pool coping is tricky bc it often sticks out farther than it should. Sometimes it helps to carve sharp and hop your weight onto the top so your feet and board can be light enough to easily bump over the coping and into your grind lock in position. Another big secret is to learn your frontside grind on pool coping just as you come out of a corner in the bowl, the corner g force will help you to launch yourself up onto the top of the coping and into your lock in. I hope this helps and makes sense. Good luck man, let me know 💙🛹💙

@sharki11 3 жыл бұрын

Skate Park Lessons thanks for the quick reply! I was trying them today but couldn’t quite get the hang of it. Idk what it is about pool coping that makes it so intimidating and different. I’m so used to metal coping having my back truck fully on top that finding the balance point on pool coping where it’s just grinding on the groove of your truck and fully pinched seems like a whole different trick. I had a bad slam a couple months back where I slipped out and hit my back on the coping and I’ve since been unable to get over that mental block. Frustrating for sure but I’m determined to get em on lock soon. Loving the channel and would love to see more pool coping videos as there isn’t much out there and it is kind of a different mentality to flat walls and metal coping how you have to carve and lean in way more.
