Thanks even though i have a sailor mouth lmao

I noticed, I've seen your heelflip series

Haha I've been trying to avoid the ranting thinking it might actually put people off having to watch videos of my whining but now reading this I might actually complain a lil more 🤣

@@GoGoSkate keep them coming

Yeah, I'm 6 foot 2, maybe even 6 foot 3 in my shoes, and the reason I have such a wide board is because I am so top heavy, and my feet are pretty big. I can't help but feel like skating would be easier in general if I wasn't so large but I can't exactly change that 🤣 I'll take your advice on board, I am starting to get close to the tre flips but I didn't really have the space or time to give them a real try today. Yeah I don't understand how people skip Kickflips and heelflips and just go straight to tres. But all the videos online say. They're easier and require less effort once you get them, the pros say Kickflips are a full body full effort trick vs the tre which is more chuck it and land, apparently, so they don't Kickflip until they're fully warmed up (Zach doelling stands out to me)

I actually couldn't do tricks on flat so I started with transition too,it's a great path to take, especially as it seems like once you work out a trick once, you can do it most times. Plus nothing beats a nice quarter pipe

Thanks man, that's high praise for admitting what I can't do 🛹

Thanks man! Yeah it's well worth giving a go, especially if you don't have any 180s yet, id say it's a great gateway to doing it because it feels more natural to turn to your normal stance, plus it teaches you how to backside 180 because you are practicing basically the same motions with the body, just in a different stance

Thought I'd skip over that absolutely noob trick

@@GoGoSkate Poser ;)

If you see this comment you must visit floppys channel. Watch and engage with a bunch of his videos. And subscribe if you like them

Thanks god. I eagerly await your 500 word essay

Hahaha 🤣 we will see

Man that gives me the big sad but the kickflip into the hip gives me the hots

It's easy to lose sight but if you remember that everything can teach you something valuable, you realise everything is valuable

Suno AI in the chat here dropping fire truth bars. 🔥🙏😎 Permission to use these lyrics?

Oyoy! I wrote it​ myself yo. Don't go stepping on my authenticity, bro. Obviously, you can use them how you want, haha. I wrote it for you. @GoGoSkate

Yes apparently. I'm hoping to over the next few years document it on this channel

It's pretty much road or nothing out here lmao

I'm closer to Coventry but earl shilton is a pretty close park for me

Only with Jack can such madness occur

You'll land it tomorrow

It's fun and playful, I do like the direction newer parks seem to be going to accommodate more beginners, instead of just. Here's some Giant Ramps and ledges. good luck. Because even more advanced skateboarders can have fun on small obstacles. It's good for everyone!

Hobby definitely seems like the way forward with this!! Thanks for checking me out man!

Yes sir

Nice and playful, we need more like this

Yeah it was, i need to make a day trip to make a more proper video out of it

Thanks ✌

I been skating about 3 years some of which working a lot so way less. I respect the work and slams it takes to do this hobby. Most normal people can barely ride on a sidewalk. I always remind myself when I feel I am not progressing. I can finally land heel flip I had the kickflip first. Which do you prefer? I always feel like Rodney Mullen when I land a kickflip for some reason.😂 That was concidered a real advanced trick in my day, the late 80s . Anyway I enjoy your vids🤙

@@benoduartebd dude thanks for such an awesome supportive comment! I mean I can regular kickflip fine and I can only heelflip switch for some reason 🤣 I don't really know what I prefer, the kickflip is the OG flip trick but the switch heel is switch 🛹

Ya ok switch heel I'll have to try that. I kind of do flat ground and then another time I'll just do carving or like ramp stuff. I hope to ride as long as possible. It's like you forget all the problems in life for a time and just have fun.🤙

@@benoduartebd Haha yeah for sure! I do tend to overthink because I'm always looking to film something, so I'm always wary of my phone/camera etc, but when I'm not filming and just rolling around those are the best moments

Such a funky park. Need to go back and utilise it better

I've always considered filming and editing myself as a part of skating, I do know skateboarders who are much better than I am, but the whole point of my channel is to record my personal journey and how I get to wherever I get to. I can't 360 flip yet, and I skate constantly. The trick might be an ultimate goal but it's not an ultimate priority. Even though it's the dream for me to get there I'm just not there yet. That's life however. Too many are afraid of showing how they get to where they are. Show me footage of a pro barely ollieing on flat. Oh wait you can't, they scrub the archives of all that footage because they don't want anyone to ever see that everyone starts from zero, just continue the illusion that some people can just tre flip from the moment they appear

Yeah I'm kind of hoping if I pretend I never did this the itch and passion will return and all that will matter again is how much I enjoy doing this 💓

Adulting is the worst, we should just be allowed to stay kids in an aging body. Because truthfully that's what we really are

I'm glad to have been a source of inspiration, I hope I can continue doing this even though the uploads will be slowing down a bit. I know it's pretty much par for the course for me, sometimes I just post a video airing out my grievances and I'm sure you've probably seen a few of them, lol. I still do like doing all this, it's just a lot right now. Plus I'm struggling to find the time for it, editing takes a long time and I need to get into the zone with it and if I'm constantly being distracted I just never go back to what I was doing. I'll still be posting, maybe the tre flip video won't be the finale, maybe when I get to that point I'll have worked it all out. Who knows

I'll be posting again soon most likely..but I'm gonna take a lot of the focus of my life off of CZcams in general I think

Yes Anthony, you are a brilliant person who I was blessed to meet through the #ytskatecrew. And what a skate crew it is! The community of people who all bolster each other is a real nice, safe haven for people like us. Maybe worrying about the money has always been the problem. It seems like I'm not the only one who isnt making money at all after all. We just do this for the love. But I'm realising how my time is limited and its like this is all I think about. It's like I live to make these videos and I know there's more to life out there than this!

@@GoGoSkate time is the most valid resource. I am up at 4am and out the door by 430 and at work by 5. I don't leave work until somewhere around 630-700 and get home around 730 on average for the last 28 years. Then the Saturday and Sundays I have available I try and skate as much as possible and spend time with my wife. It doesn't sound like much personal time but the way I spend that time brings harmony to my life. The skating and the videos are important to me. My skating will never match my passion for skateboarding however, I will never stop. The videos hold me accountable. If I am not making videos then that means I am probably not skating. And that is no good. The commute have is awesome. Even as views have tanked, all the OGs are in the comments. That's what keeps me sharing. And now and then a new person will come along and say they just watched a video and they are getting back into skating and that makes the time spent on the editing worth it. There is no monetary value, but there is still great value for me in making my crappy videos with the same 7 tricks over and over again. Stay Rad Sir. Find your harmony.

You somehow went from a massive workload to an even huger workload. I don't know what possessed you to fully animate a 3d universe by yourself but you are doing a brilliant job!!

Your edits are on another level of creativity, you manage to make your work have such a distinct style and visually very impressive, BT3 is one of my personal favourite CZcams skateboard related videos due to the sheer editing magic in it. You definitely have a knack for this sort of thing and it is a shame you aren't being more seen

@@GoGoSkate thanks Owen, you're too kind honestly mate. Hope you keep at it when it feels right for you, I'm always entertained by the coverage and updates

I don't really want to stress about stuff being popular honestly, I like that what I make remains available in the future so I can look back on stuff and enjoy it. I guess I'm just at a crossroads with this stuff and I need to figure out what the alternatives may be
