A huge beginner skate session with Matt from @amskateboards at Deeside Skatepark. I progressed with no comply shuvs and caveman, and unlocked two new tricks using banks/hips. Thinking of learning to skate in your 30s? If I can, you can! #justdoit #beginnerskater #oldskater

I Tried Carpet Boarding For The First Time! Epic Ollies!! #ollie #popshuvit
Boneless is looking real good mate, how’s that wider board treating you? That second park was so sketchy, the spine was friggin lethal.
@@KieranClarkSkates thanks I feel like I really have them now! Wider board is good, to be honest didn't feel massively different as nose and tail are same as my 8.25 but the wider middle deffo helped with the rock and rolls!! I was very impressed with the ace trucks though 😁 Yeah I can't imagine anybody getting anything on that spine, it's just unskateable
Very nice! Enjoyed the video…as always, thanks for bringing us along…🛹
@@SkateTastrophe Thanks for the awesome comment!
Nice Rock fakies and Tail taps, a tad faster and that will be a full on stall in no time. Solid Ollie over the Men at work sign (up and down) That 2nd park mate 🤦🏻♂️ welded contraptions from Mad Max 😳 Great vid as always, rad skating and thanks for the Team segment 👊🏻
Thanks Simon! I enjoyed the men at work thing, even though it was just an Ollie that's my favourite kind of skating, just getting creative and jumping over things! 2nd park is a horror show 😫 luckily they don't make em like they used to!
Yo you got way better rock to fakies then I do nice job in the mini ramp!!! 🤙 nice rock and rolls too man!!
@@fatdadskatesbad thank you mate!! Just wish I had a few more tricks on transition, want to get half cab rocks next (I had done them pre injury but not many)
@@DadLeisureSkateboarding yeah I learned them and lost them just gotta keep plugging is all. Keep it up man!!
that joined quarter pipe ramp is crazy I have never seen anything like that was that a tar floor crazy price for that amount of money
Yeah a lot of the older parks in the UK are Tarmac floor and metal ramps. The obstacles here are so dangerous, clearly built by an amateur and are an insult to skateboarding 😔
Jeez mate your mini ramp game is improving every week and so is your edit skill!!
@@Ungracefulmovement Thanks mate I've been trying hard with both so it means a lot 😆 I haven't dedicated too much time to transition skating in the past because it scared me but I'm starting to get the feel for it now 😎
@@DadLeisureSkateboarding what are you using to edit?
@@Ungracefulmovement youcut on my phone 😂 it's not easy and I have full access to Premiere Pro on my PC but just more convenient on my phone
@@DadLeisureSkateboarding madness.
I still haven't been to that Culcheth concrete one. That mini looks alright. I will have to give it a go.
It's a nice height and it doesn't go mega steep like most of them at these sort of parks. If the spine wasnt there and it was a simple mini it would be perfect for me! Worth a visit but the park itself is small and looks like a sketch area 😆
That park was brutal, definitely in the top 10 worst skateparks I've seen. Great video bro!! Also SimonV throwing down the the steezy no comply at 8:48 🔥going to have to hire him as an instructor for these!
I'd seen pics of the park online before and had no idea how close to me it was!! I just had to check it out. Simon is the no comply king 🔥 Thanks for checking out the vid man!
🙏🏻
Thanks Guys! 👑
Brilliant vid bud and thank you for including me
No worries cheers man!
Great work Scott and the rest of the DLST an honour to be in the mix with you all
Thanks man and cheers for the clips, awesome as always!
👊🏻
Nice Monkeys reference lad 😅
Glad somebody got it 😆 You've made my day
@@DadLeisureSkateboarding 😅
Love no comply’s, watch Ray Barbee’s video parts in Public Domain and Ban This that’s how I learnt them back in the day
Thanks mate this was a battle but I was getting them every session after this until I did my ankle. Got to relearn it now, will check out those recommendations!
👊🏻
Yes it seems wider is better, well at least for me my 8.5 is very stable compared to the 7.5 I was riding, and your Ollie looked way better on the bigger board!
Thanks for checking out the video! I agree, I started on a 7.75 and used to get on OK, have rode 8.25 for a while now but tried the 10 and wow! I just ordered a 9.25 so my next video I should be riding that 😂
@@DadLeisureSkateboardingNice can’t wait to check it out! Is it a Heroine Board? I know they are famous for their egg shaped boards, they have some sick graphics as well! Anyway can’t wait to check it out!
@@VintageSk8 Yeah I went for the Heroin Gold Egg! Almost got gold trucks to match but ended up with black Ace AF1s. Can't wait for them to arrive
@@DadLeisureSkateboarding Sweet, yeah I do like their graphics, boards are sick I might have to try one, just wasn’t sure about the shape.
Great little session! Well except for that crack that almost took you out in the beginning 😂Love the grounds keeper pavilion ollie gap, hoping to one day do some real street skating like this. Mini ramp session looked awesome too, I'd probably stay in that thing alllllll day.
Thanks man! That crack just jumped out at me! Pavillion is a weird one, it would be such a great spot if it wasn't for the bumpy tiles but I turned it into a challenge. I was surprised how well my 58mm Dragons rolled over them though! I just ordered a Heroin Egg deck and Ace Trucks so hopefully will be skating them in next weeks video!
Typical that the one day you decide to skate the carpark its got something going on. Your a brave man going for the Ollie off the step were the tic tile paving is. If you'd have landed in one of the divots you'd have been flying.
I thought the same about those tiles so I tested landing on them and rolling over them a few times, the 58mm Dragons ate them up!
Loved the vid dude! Tail stalls on the mini and the Ollie up the block were sweet. You got a meaty pop on that other board! Love being part of something skate related so thanks for doing the team thing 🙏🏻 I’ve hit a CZcams slump at the moment where I’m conscious my edits don’t really stand up to some of the cool uploads I’m following. I’m happy with my skating progress but hate hearing myself on camera 😂
Thanks mate! Pleasure having you on the team, keep the clips coming 😬 I love watching your vids they are really chill, the skating is awesome and you have all your home made obstacles which I love to see! I know what you mean though, it's watching the others like @ungracefulmovement and @skateoasis that are top level with the production value thats made me try to raise my game 😄 it's good that we push and inspire each other but you are doing great. glad you enjoyed it 👊
@@DadLeisureSkateboarding, thanks mate, appreciated. I’m sure it’s just a ‘what the hell am I doing’ wobble 🙏🏻
That pavilion spot looked sweet, good job on that Ollie. How’s you find the bigger board? You got crazy pop on it
Pavillion spot would be perfect if it didn't have those bumpy tile things. Yeah I loved the deck I want one
Been trying a bigger board myself recently gone up from 7.9 egg shape to 8.5 egg shape and loving it, great video again Scott and thanks for including me in the team edit
I can't believe how much I like the 10''. Thought it would be too heavy. I always liked the idea of them but after trying it... wow. Thanks for the comment keep your clips coming, a pleasure having you on the team!
awesome session I like trhe no skate sign I am still old school skater what I find gives more hight on ollie is the spacebar between truck and deck It gives me a steaper angle when kicking front foot forward to lift the deck during ollies
Haha yeah there's a few no skateboarding signs around me so I've been dying to get a clip of me 'breaking the rules' 😄 I agree with the steeper tail, I skate 58mm wheels with risers. it just takes an age to get the pop so can be difficult to time or get a quick snap if you need it
@@DadLeisureSkateboarding your one ollie there was super cool
Queens gardens and Bank Park. I live round there, I often skate round there. Where is that metal mini?
@fenfilms Oh sweet! Yeah I skate there sometimes on a saturday, the curved ledges outside Parr Hall would be awesome for a better skater! I sometimes skate the bit of flat by the bowling green at bank park. We will cross paths at some point 😄
Oh and sorry the metal ramp is crow wood park on the way to Widnes. It is un-skateable, even without the rubble there but the brand new pavilion was a nice find just a shame about the accessible tile things they put all around it
Incredible conincidence!! great edit dude - seriously loved some of the timing and pacing.
Yeah I saw your vid and thought we are weirdly in sync here! Thanks for comment on the edit, I'm trying my best not to bore people 😆 still waiting for you DLST entry 😉 you got some solid clips this week
@@DadLeisureSkateboarding I guess I'm still just a bit embarassed about my level - but maybe I'll send one from today
@@Ungracefulmovement The plan is to show all levels, but naturally the more experienced skaters are the ones that have had the confidence to send in so far. There are deffo things you did in this weeks that stand up but the dream is for subscribers to send in if they just learned to stand on the board for the first time, to show that it's just as big an achievement as all the other clips
Ayye! Nice work! Good luck with the new deck 👊 my pal swears by big decks!
Thanks! I couldn't believe how high it ollied and how solid it felt. I thought they would be really hard to get off the ground!
@@DadLeisureSkateboarding Ollies and transition you might find easier now. It’s just trying to flip a big deck is hard and really annoying to learn on but you don’t have to flip to have fun 👊
Birchwood skatepark is a top park. I need to go have a session with you there soon, but first Balderstone. Also I'll send you a clip for the next video, just didn't have time to sort one out this time.
Thanks for the clip, a session at Bwood would be cool but it's deffo my turn to travel 😆 looking forward to balderstone mate 👊
Happy go skate day
You too man!
Oh, also… Can you put link to people’s channels if they have one? I’m catching the comments below and going to their channels that way to sub to them…
Try to add a note on the thumbnail so it’s easy to find these later. I saw your community post, so I was looking for a similar thumbnail…went back to post and saw the title the 2nd time (my bad).
Hey thanks for the tips and sorry for the inconvenience, the team's channels are shown next to their clip on screen but I'll add them to the description in the next one to make it easier. Every video will have a team edit at the end going forward and there will hopefully be some new and regular faces each time 🤞hope to see you back and if you ever have any clips to send in feel free😬
Would have sent a clip over bud… in the middle of moving house n waiting for the wifi to switch over. Doing everything in data atm and it’s annoying!
No problem, if it's easier I can grab a clip from your latest youtube vid if you like? Would love to have you on the team 💪
@@DadLeisureSkateboarding yeah feel free dude! I see DadBoard on there haha legend! 👊 been watching him since he started!
@@Sk8Comeback he's awesome I wasn't expecting him to get involved and he sent me a long DM saying he watched some of my vids and gave me a load of advice!
@@DadLeisureSkateboarding legend! He’s a top skater too! I remember shouting him out ages ago…his vlogs are good!
That park is awesome! Top work 👊
Thanks, it's pretty local to me but the weather has never been good enough to skate it! It is my new fav outdoor park and will deffo be back (maybe next week!)
Good to see you made it to Birchwood. The car park is miles away, we all park on the road just behind the trees. No parking restrictions there.
It's the best outdoor park I've been to for my skill level. The ledge even looks a decent height but I didn't get around to trying it! Thanks for the tip on parking I will check that out.
Dude you don’t suck
Thanks man!
Dang you ok aaaa
Great video dude thanks for including my clips the rest of the crew killed it 👊
Thanks man glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the clip!
Sub’d! Nice clip!!!🔥
That was a great vid mate!!! You was proper flowing round that park. Props to the pops on that Ollie dude ( that made no sense 🤪) 🤘🏻 The mini looked like a slightly taller version of Dawlish, is it 4ft? Dawlish is 3 on its tiptoes. I’m intrigued about the 360 camera… is it the camera or a tripod sensor thing? Wonder if I can modify my GoPro as I have to set it up and throw myself on the floor at the right spot but a camera following you.. 🤔🤔🤔 Scott skates was interested in seeing your team vid so could would you mind if I link him in so he can see it? Thanks for the inclusion on the team 🙏🏻
Awesome I subbed to Scott skates the other day of course you can get him involved 😀 The 360 camera is one camera that films everything, and you edit where it looks after. It has smart tracking so you can draw a box around you in the edit and it follows you. It is amazing but slightly lower quality than a normal camera in my opinion but it is too convenient not to use! And means you just set it up and then skate without worrying whether you are in shot!
@@DadLeisureSkateboarding, thanks for explaining, I’ll have to look into getting one of these I think 👍🏻
glad you back nice progress>
Thanks bro
Banging vid bud
Cheers mate!
There was nothing little about that Ollie mate, you popped the crap out of it. Some good runs in that park too mate, glad you found a park that suits makes a massive difference. Awesome edit at the end too, everyone did awesome.
Thanks man! Yeah it's the first time I've skated that park, I have been before but it was too wet last time! Won't be the last time I'm there for sure! Yeah everyone smashed it with the edit clips, might grab another for next week if you want?
That mini is sweet and definitely some good progress. You inspired me try boneless, a total work in progress though 😂. You've definitely bounced back pretty swell I'd say, glad you work through it. Thanks for the clip add, man all the clips submitted...so cool to see all these people killing it! Thanks for the video! 🙌
Thanks for your contribution, feel free to send more when you have them I'm planning on doing these weekly
I didn’t know there was a deadline for DLST. I’ll send something. Good work on the ramp stuff in general, because wood vs concrete is a real humbling experience.
Yeah it's odd how you get used to one surface then the other suddenly seems terrifying! I'm planning on doing a weekly team edit so it's just whenever you want to send something in, and those that have sent in can continue to do so 😁
The ‘tofu’ side is actually uphill. If you start the on the other side your not fighting gravity
Yeah I think the drop in is slightly higher on the uphill end too. I felt like the whole park is on a slight angle and I wasn't ready for more speed!
Birchwoooooooooood
Yeahhh boiii
Great skate team response 💪. Skating well bro
Thanks bro!! Yeah was an amazing team effort thanks for your clip, same again next week?
Good to see you back at it. The skate team clips were killer! I'll have to check out the those skaters that I haven't seen yet. I don't think my skills are really clip worthy yet but maybe soon. Keep shreddin 🤙🤙
Whenever you are ready GB there's always a place for you on the team! The standard of the skaters this week was very high and I'd like to get some more entries showing easier tricks, anything you feel is a win from a recent session! 😃
That was real nice of that dude to give you a heads up, I'd have been exactly the same, take no chances just gtfo lol. Damn I forgot to send you a clip for your skate crew thing, I'll try and remember to do it tonight so if you're doing another one you can always add mine in 😁
Yeah he was a nice lad to be fair and glad he mentioned something! Cool, looking forward to the clip! I was half expecting one from you but didn't want to pester 😜
💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
Thanks man!
