Thanks so much! I'm glad my video has help you, makes me stoked! YEW enjoy

YEW! thank you!

Thank you! Glad it could help you!

Thank you!! Stoked it's helped and welcome to the surfskate community! They're loads of fun! Happy surfskating YEWW!

Thank you!

Thank you! yes soon

YEW Epic! Practice makes perfect! That curb is where I refined all my skating techniques, don't need anything fancy, no pump track or skatepark, just little street curb is all you really need!

Thank you! that's awesome, keep it up! I'm glad to hear YEW!

YEW! No worries!

&?

Thank you! Stoked you liked it YEWW!

@@YeWLayton Cheers mate. I find between your tips and making sure we're moving from heel to toe I'm starting to get better at generating speed I'm assuming with time or just naturally start to get more smooth and comfortable with doing it

@@arunr5529 Yeah with time and practice, it'll eventually become second nature and you'll be able to generate speed smoothly and with flow. it's just about putting in the hours to get better

Yeah man thanks to your video I've improved a lot in a couple of weeks! Just practicing two or three times every week for 20 or 30 minutes in a parking lot. I must say I am generating speed a lot more easily on my forehand I can't quite get the rhythm and flow as well on my back and so I move a bit slower is that normal and is there anything I can do to try and address that?

@@arunr5529 That's epic to hear! Back hand is always a bit trickier for some. But theoretically generating speed on your backhand is pretty much the same as on your forehand (except you arms throw up towards your back, when going backhand, as apposed to up and in front, when going forehand). So when generating speed on you backhand, just go about it as if you're generating speed on you forehand, and once you've got your speed up, do a backhand hand bottom turn then a backhand top turn, this will hopefully sorta help pick up that rhythm and flow on your backhand

Thank you,Ii'm glad you find them helpful! Yes will be trying to post more content regularly

@@YeWLayton awesome!!!

Awesome! that makes me stoked! YEWW keep it up!

Cheers! Appreciate it!

Thank you!

YEW! Thank you! I like linking combos together

Thanks so much!

Thank's man! They're similar, Smoothstar is defiantly better in my opinion - Smoother turning, better board design ect. You can get much sharper turning range on the Smoothstar which I like cause it allows me to complete those more radical manoeuvres and translates over to my surfing better.

Thank you! So when generating speed backhand or forehand, it's the same mechanics. The only difference, when you go heel side (Backhand) you throw you arms up and sort of towards/across your body, as apposed to up and away from you body when going frontside (toe side). Hope that makes sense YEW!

Yes sort of.. when you're compressing, you're sort of shifting your weight on you back leg - loading it up - but also keeping your forward momentum. Then when you extend, your weight somewhat shifts to your front leg, again keeping that forward momentum. You don't want to shift all your weight on your front or back feet/legs other wise you'll come unstuck. You have to find that equilibrium, while still maintaining forward momentum.

Thank you, glad you liked it!

I haven't, but I have tried the Manta Ray. It has a slightly larger wheel, then the Toledo I believe and with it being a bit longer it allows you to draw out your turns a bit more and hold your line slighter better, but you can still get critical with it. I still reckon this will hold true with the smaller Toledo wheel, as you will have the bigger board to compensate the smaller wheel, so it won't be too much of a drastic difference. I like the manta, because I'm tall (6'2") but prefer the Toledo as it's lighter, which helps when doing airs and throwing the tail. I ride the Manta in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d85zYJhhlbfWmpc.html

@@YeWLayton Cool. Thanks heaps for that. Heaps keen to give it a try.

Nice clip too.

@@markpeters3549 No worries!

Cheers! the incline on the curb is pretty subtle, its probably only like 10-20 degrees

@@YeWLayton thanks mate.. I need to keep practicing then 😂… speed generation on a flat, sure is some skill… 🤙

@@johnarmstrong7501 It is! You'll get there! and once you do, it'll be easy as YEW!!

YEW!

Cheers! Smoothstar Stingray wheels!

It's sort of up to personal preference really. Your truck will loosen over time the more you ride them. but generally, you don't want them overly loose and you don't want them overly tight. How they come stock is good enough for me, I don't tighten it, only once I've ridden it heaps and can feel that they're getting really loose, I'll tighten them a bit. Hope this helps, YEW!

Yo, just the stock Smoothstar wheels! They're really good, have enough grip, but also allow you slide easily

@@YeWLayton I'll look them up..thanks for the reply✌

Same technique! But will probably need to move in more of a zig zag direction as apposed to a top to bottom direction

They're just the stock ones on Smoothstar. I think they're like 83a or something

YEW!

YEW!

If you're struggling to get speed from the start, try pushing with your foot to generate speed first (as you would on a normal skateboard) Once you get some speed up, apply the techniques I discussed in the video. So compress and extend, it may take a bit of practice, but persist and you'll get it! You might also be going out too wide when you're compressing and extending, which could be the result of not going faster. So try spacing out some cones in a straight line 1.5 meters apart, and try generating speed by staying within the cones. Hope this helps YEW!

@@YeWLayton thanks bro appreciate the solid advice 🤙

@@YeWLayton Oops, what I meant to say was after reaching that initial speed after take off, I can't go any faster. Again sorry for my English 😅😅

@@KINOSHINOBI Just need to apply the same techniques and give it some more force, it might take some time, but all it is, is practice!

Definitly worth getting one YEW!

What?

That alright! Rome wasn't built in a day or 2 days! Just keep at it, practice and persist, you'll get it. When turning left, (Presuming you're stance is natural - left foot forward) you just have to shift your weight to your heel side, compress and look left over your shoulder. Stick out your front arm and stick it out into the direction you want to turn to help guide you. You'll get it YEW!

@@YeWLayton I know this is 4 months later but wow this really help me improve my skill at turning,thanks for the tip!

@@lrstick273 Epic! stoked to hear! keep at it, YEW!
