Love this. I’m a middle-aged surfer learning to skate transition and this is pure inspiration. All I want is to be able to flow around a bowl/pool like that. Looks like bliss. As a surfer, the body mechanics come naturally to me, but it’s so much more difficult than it looks knowing how to navigate the bowl. Anyway, thanks for the video and the inspiration. 🙏👍🏼

Thanks! I grew up mostly flatwall, banks and street skating.. after i turned like 40 I tried riding a bowl or two and had NO lines, was like, ~jeez am I even a skater?? sometimes we need some coaching.

First video I see that explains properly how to use the bowl... Looking for something like this for over a year now. As you said. If you see someone better, steal the trick. Thanks and keep up the good skateboarding!

Im 41 and still skating. I never had the opportunity to skate bowl until i was 28. I can ride it but im so cautious. I am ok on wooden tranistions and indoor parks but every single bad slam i have had in the last 10 years or so has been in the big concrete bowl. It fucking hurts to fall in the bowl. I should probably buy some knee pads... 😝

ok thats all i have to do. i have been doing it all wrong. just like when they told me to be a better golfer you have to hit the ball well.

No, not like golf at all really. When you miss hit a golf ball, it doesn’t make you pay in blood 🤷‍♂️

I'm trying to learn to pump while actually on the wall (like at 05:47 and 05:58) any tips, Rick? I find it strange to psyche up for the 'next' pump when I've just gotten up there. Half the time I just drop off the wall. Pumping feels different on the wall (gravity etc)

@rickbailey5320 9 ай бұрын

Without seeing, it sounds like you are trying too go too far along or too high for the speed that you are carrying. You should should hit maximum speed when the board is parallel to the coping. Then as you turn to create the next line, the centrifugal force will push you onto the board.

@@rickbailey5320 thanks. is it at that last point - as I turn - that I pump as such? this is the part that evades me.

godless skate co. I use rails because I like massive slides and doing airs, they are much faster and stable with rails.

Good video but to say only indys will do? Disagree. Ace trucks are just as good or better than indys in transition or bowls. The fact that you like indys is your own personal preference.

Thanks dude, that was literally stated in the video, but at least you are halfway in knowing that 👍🏻

@Ezzeenow 4 ай бұрын

@rickbailey5320 You literally said "and the others you can't skate quite the same" That is a false statement. According to you that may be true but in general that is 100% false. I've seen skaters completely rip transition on a variety of trucks so you can't say they're "not quite the same" You would of been better off saying its YOUR OPINION that indys are better, which they're are not but at least your video would of made more sense.
