For all the hate skaters get in America it really seems your curbs were made for skating. English curbs are literally the rockiest concrete you can imagine
This is in California, trust me when I say this is not a nationwide status. Minnesota has crumbling garbage curbs because of the cold and heat and they're higher off the ground.
Solid tips! The one thing that unlocked slappys for me was to sort of lightfoot it like you do when you either powerslide or chinese nollie. I've always been told to just ram it into the curb and it never worked for me until I figured that lightfoot thing out.
I did the same came back at 29, didnt know anything other than ollie and shuv it when I was a teen. I've learned so much more as an adult and have had more fun than as a kid. Awesome stuff man
I was 21 when i stopped skating, started when i was 13. I'm 35 now, 36 in a couple of months and been back at it for 2months. First few weeks were testing as i had to get that muscle memory back. Iv not even exercised since i was 21 so i had to get my body used to that aswell haha.
@@counterfeitclone definitely a break in period. My legs were so jittery those first two months and it takes about 30 minutes to get fully loose. But if you exercise along with the skating, you can still manage a ton of stuff at 36. I would be so glad if I was back in at 35 instead of 43 but I get a charge out of trying anything I couldn’t do as a kid.
FINALLY someone made a vid talking about weight placement on the board! Ffs most other slappy tip vids are only "just roll up and collide lol" but never mention how you get your meatbody situated right
did my first slappies today at 40, first day in 10 years, and they're amazing! nobody does them at the park I went to and they fit in with the type of skating I like, the type of shit you do. there's nothing like the feeling of a grind on cement. with indy's too.
Yes! Maybe I’m just old school but this brought me back to how I got the confidence for popping into a nose slide. I practiced board and lip slides this way on parking blocks too back in the day. Excellent content to subscribe to!🤘
I heavily enjoy the way you pronounce “on”. Also great video and trick tips. Just recently got into skating, so I’m excited to try these out tomorrow morning
Thanks for the vid, great work, great instruction. Also, thanks for pointing out that different people are going to do slappys differently. There's no one right way. The right way to slappy is whichever way you can slap up on the curb.
I didn't dislike the video but if I did I would dislike it because I can do slappy's and I was taught that you don't lift up, unless you are going for a board/lip slide, or pivoting into something, everything he's saying is right except for the babylift up part, I know that if you are doing slappy's on something tall there's a point where you need to lift up, but I would say that would be the point where it's kinda a wall ride slappy.... I don't know, that is just my opinion, I honestly think that Dan's slappy game is bitchin', he's definitely a heavy weight, and I have seen him do wall ride slappy's, so yeah, I have respect for the guy, but yeah, I feel like if I were explaining a slappy on a curb I'd say everything accept for the babylift part, haha.
You guys are killing it honestly I could watch this all day! Just a few things if you could mention like slanted curbs vs straight curbs. And I feel like a certain setup is key as well round wheels vs square wheels. Wider trucks and flatter decks honestly I think that’s half the battle if you know what I mean
I been trying to find a deck that is 8.5 at least, has nose and tail but little to no side concave! I found a mini logo skateboard deck that was k12 and was close but 7.75 tho
Just got back into skating after quitting and just kinda cruising around town not really doing tricks and slappys have been a lot of fun to learn , I prefer front sides, for some reason backsides have been a pain to figure out 😂
Link the website in the descriptions of these vids borthers! Just constructive criticism...the easier it is to get to the site the more potential sales!
it's pretty much all in the front wheel and truck - once that initial wheel makes contact and you feel the front start to grind the back truck follows where the SLAP comes in.
A question, would it be feasible to see some of the undersides of some of your products? Specifically how the coping is attached? I'm in Australia firstly but also can't afford to purchase things so I'm going through the DIY route and trying to figure out the best way to attach round coping is really the biggest thing.. Screws that go through the whole thing, bolts from the underside that only attach on the ends or just thick ass screws on the ends in the middle. What am I missing?! If it's a trade secret it's all good, I'll keep looking up hour long deconstructions on how to attach screws to things, the next 42 episodes might help
I only ever used to bust out slappys, never had a park in my town man so that all we really could do. I mean, there's a handful of small rails about but staying in one spot defeats the purpose of skating street
That's Great Stuff.... ya'll didn't show the easiest way for a Beginner where U just Ride up the curb like a Mini ramp from the Lowest part of the curb on the sidewalk/street level & it lifts U up just like riding up a Ramp...
nah im good with the original way. slapping that back truck up on the curb then planting the front one down into the 50 - 50 is better. no reason to change whats already better. great tutorial on the slappie grinds etc loved it.
Just noticed the Alf MoüSe grip tape and 😵😵 I found 2 sk8s 5 months ago in a backyard and one them was a stain alien workshop with mini logo set up and the other one was a HUF Sobe deck with royal trucks and MoüSe grip tape with Baby thug life 2Pac. I think its like a 10 year old board 😵😵 👌👌👌

Rub brick and some liquid cement before you wax it gets it buttery. Gota take that weird little line of crete that's above the rounded edge off.
Australians: dafuck is a curb? Our roads just have potholes all along the outsides lmao
We love to hate it. I hate me, you hate me. We hate you.
its acc a joke at this point🤣🤣
This is in California, trust me when I say this is not a nationwide status. Minnesota has crumbling garbage curbs because of the cold and heat and they're higher off the ground.
Watching Dan on this channel is like seeing a friend at their work
I love this comment
Trying to act semi professional lol
this is the most factual statement i’ve ever seen
The more you boost this the more the man gets paid lol get that bag boys.
I see my friends at work every day
The old slappy grind never gets old, anywhere, everywhere, anytime. Seas of Curbs🤙🤙🤙

Just getting back into skating since a teen I'm 27 now thanks for the inspiration man
Good on u man
At 44 I’ve been back at it about 9 months and about 3x more obsessed with it as I was at 12 when I gave it up.
I did the same came back at 29, didnt know anything other than ollie and shuv it when I was a teen. I've learned so much more as an adult and have had more fun than as a kid. Awesome stuff man

The way you learned how to 5050 is really good for slappy 50s
Love the videos very inspirational
These videos are the best - you are clearly just having fun and trying to help people out!
did my first slappies today at 40, first day in 10 years, and they're amazing! nobody does them at the park I went to and they fit in with the type of skating I like, the type of shit you do. there's nothing like the feeling of a grind on cement. with indy's too.
Did my first back side slappy yesterday! Thanks for the help
Finally getting warm enough here in the Midwest to hop on my board again. Haven’t skated since fall so hitting some slappys will be a nice warm up
Great video thank you for posting.
You guys rock. Your tips are much appreciated. TY!
I could watch you all skate only that curb for a week and not get tired of watching. Excellent spot! 👌🏻
Yes! Maybe I’m just old school but this brought me back to how I got the confidence for popping into a nose slide. I practiced board and lip slides this way on parking blocks too back in the day. Excellent content to subscribe to!🤘
You guys are the absolute best man love your content
They're so awesome for such a simple trick, in my 5 for sure! Thanks for the vid.
I enjoy these. Thank you
Really great content!
Especially the slow-mo from different angles is very helpful - thanks a lot and greetings from Germany! :)
great video guys....impressive detailed instructions....
Great video! I’ve never really tried slappies but have been wanting to. Need to find a good curb and go! Thanks gents!
thank youu i always thought i had to ollie on it it really helped me
Dudes. I’ve straight up been trying to learn slappy 5050s for years and I nailed it today because of this fucking video. 🖤
Same!!! Today first time
Love these videos💙
Love that you love that curb, thanks for the slo mo!
Love your videos!
I needed this
This is crazy I landed my first slappy nose slide because of this video
you guys should do more how to vids on both like flat tricks and mini ramps n stuff! good vid
Love seeing these vids fricking awsome slappy tricks hot af 👍🙏🏻
I heavily enjoy the way you pronounce “on”. Also great video and trick tips. Just recently got into skating, so I’m excited to try these out tomorrow morning
This vid helped a lot!
The fs slappy looks so sick !!
Thanks for the vid, great work, great instruction. Also, thanks for pointing out that different people are going to do slappys differently. There's no one right way. The right way to slappy is whichever way you can slap up on the curb.
Yayyyy. The quintessential California red curb trick. I’ve been wanting to get on my slappy game
The two dislikes are people who couldn't build up the courage to attempt a slappy
now there's 13 of those fucks...
Or the one breaking their skull trying it lol
I didn't dislike the video but if I did I would dislike it because I can do slappy's and I was taught that you don't lift up, unless you are going for a board/lip slide, or pivoting into something, everything he's saying is right except for the babylift up part, I know that if you are doing slappy's on something tall there's a point where you need to lift up, but I would say that would be the point where it's kinda a wall ride slappy....

Best fs slappy tutorial ever!
All the guys at the park skate the slappies, so fun. If y’all are in Bloomington, Indiana the slappy curbs at switchyard are the best
I just hit a shuv out of a roll-on 50/50 bc I still don’t know how to pop out lol. Looking forward to trying these with shuvs next sesh!
That was rad 🤙🏽
You guys are killing it honestly I could watch this all day! Just a few things if you could mention like slanted curbs vs straight curbs.

I been trying to find a deck that is 8.5 at least, has nose and tail but little to no side concave! I found a mini logo skateboard deck that was k12 and was close but 7.75 tho
that alf grip is dope
I do the aggressive kick turn way always have just feels good slamming my back truck into the curb
Imediate sub! Like how relaxed you guys are👌🏻. Feels like these could help me learn 5050s and slash grinds in the bowl, i’m i right?
finally a dan tutorial on slappys, swear tho hes the best at slappys
Downtown Long Beach 3rd & Daisy! I used to live around the corner from that spot.
Cool Just posted the question scrolled down, and found my answer here!

Thank you!!!

Finally got bs slappy 50/50 thanks to this video. Amazing thanks dudes
just got a rub brick im definitely gonna try this!
NICE moves ya KEEN ......
its nice that theres not one dislike on this vid yet. very informative one too
Moree slappys vids 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much. I got the BS down. The FS are still a work in process. Also great co video with @ZachDowdy
it's pretty much all in the front wheel and truck - once that initial wheel makes contact and you feel the front start to grind the back truck follows where the SLAP comes in.
Painted curves are the best .. keep that in mind 🤙🏻
thank you sir
Would you recommend larger wheels? 54 + and maybe softer?
I came up skating in the SF 90s era. We had tiny hard wheels and powerslid everywhere haha
Just got back on a board after 24 yrs once I relearn my balance I wanna learn this
A question, would it be feasible to see some of the undersides of some of your products? Specifically how the coping is attached?

Thanks!! I’m also getting back into skating, coaching in Colorado after taking a few years off. Fuck it!! Go skate!!
SICK!!!
Should make a video on searching for random spots
Yes that would be dope
That got me stoked to ram into a curb.
The Alf grip says it all
My first slappy was a nose slide so I think those are the best to start off slappys woth
i’ve always been confused ab back 50 but thank u dan man for teaching me
Sick bruh Said archives 🥀🌹 real long term steezlurr
Lol i already do a bunch of slappies all the time and I still learned something.
This is fucking rad! Love the way you explain it g 👊
I wanna know what happened to part 2
"finess-full"!
When i get into the curb and turn my body doing noseslide the front wheels always get in the way and my board not completely vertical helppp
Those wii remotes are indestructable 😂
WHAT SIZE TRUCKS AND BOARD ARE YOU USING?
I wish we had something as simple as curbs this nice In the uk 🇬🇧 lol 😂
i love my skateboard bro .
love slapping curbs like they're quarter pipes
This work for tighter trucks?
Bruh I can't imagine trying this bs. It looks sick tho so I might have to learn it one day.
I only ever used to bust out slappys, never had a park in my town man so that all we really could do.
I mean, there's a handful of small rails about but staying in one spot defeats the purpose of skating street
I was just about to go slappy and I saw this
Next Thursday!!!!!!!
Tight or loose truck for curbs
I want to skate that ledge in the background
Yeah!! Slappy's!
Easier. It's the same movement and foot placement as doing frontside or backside grinds on my miniramp. I've you can lock it in you've got it.
yo how did he just explain my whole skate career at 0:20
Actually the way Dan does bs 5050 is the most popular / common way in europe! So try both and see what u like!
do you think wider trucks make most slappy tricks easier?
Ummm idk, possibly....but definitely not required by any means
Anyone know where this spot is? Its in LA for sure...
That's Great Stuff.... ya'll didn't show the easiest way for a Beginner where U just Ride up the curb like a Mini ramp from the Lowest part of the curb on the sidewalk/street level & it lifts U up just like riding up a Ramp...
Backside 5050 slappy seems easier for me to get into but I sure as hell can't get my back trucks on there
can u show us hoot do your grip art
it’s mouse grip
all the weight on the toes and switch to the heels. gotta get this
nah im good with the original way. slapping that back truck up on the curb then planting the front one down into the 50 - 50 is better. no reason to change whats already better. great tutorial on the slappie grinds etc loved it.
Just noticed the Alf MoüSe grip tape and 😵😵 I found 2 sk8s 5 months ago in a backyard and one them was a stain alien workshop with mini logo set up and the other one was a HUF Sobe deck with royal trucks and MoüSe grip tape with Baby thug life 2Pac. I think its like a 10 year old board 😵😵 👌👌👌
WHERE CAN I FIND THIS CURB !!!!!
