How is this cheating? It's just a learning tool. Devices like this will help people progress quicker and further than ever before and with less injuries. This is amazing for skateboarding and I can't wait to see how it helps level up the sport. Chris is just salty that this wasn't around during his prime.
It's literally no different than the old hold onto the fence while trying a trick method.
Or between the back of 2 chairs.
Good after physio and recovered from injury. Get back in flip of things.
Big difference
@@BcottStudioshow so?
@@selfawarepotassium Use your brain. Blunt tra flip vs learning how to do your first basic trick ever
@BcottStudios "Use your brain" the difficulty of the trick doesn't matter when discussing if this is considered cheating. One has nothing to do with the other. The comparison was made between types of the skate version of "training wheels", so to speak. Not the tricks performed while using them.
It's like learning a trick into foam, it's a learning tool to minimize injuries. This shits hitting the big leagues, gotta keep athletes fresh for international competitions
oooooh he said the "A" word watchout everyone.
It's only cheating if you're a slave to ego. Foam pits, padded landings, helmets, these bars are a welcome addition to this group.
As I get older, I wear pads more. I would have progressed faster if I padded up when I was young.
I hope they see this comment so bad dude😂
bailing is an art
The mastery of a trick is art also
If you’re claiming it of course it’s cheating but if you’re using it in the way Garrett used it to learn a trick then I don’t see a problem with it. Because you still have to bust your a** to land it with no rings.
Jeron is so delusional or hes just a very simple man. "Im just trying to perfect my craft on my skateboard, not practice" 😂 That is literally what practice is bro.
I think he gets it, he just considers it skateboarding, which is understandable.
skating teaches u that practice makes perfect. so technically it's practice
Imagine somebody like Kelly recovering from his injury or an older skater getting his rhythm back. These are perfect for that
doesnt matter what word you use if you're trying/learning a new trick you are practicing
Hahaha Jeron having a hard time wrapping his head around the fact that he's been practicing all these years.
“Practicing is for kooks and tryhards” 😭😭
Unless, of course, he got so good at skating by just landing everything first try and then moving on the the next thing.
He's on the company that invented the homie hookup pro model. Only ams skate to go pro for girl. Once they're pro they don't have to do shit anymore. They don't practice because they don't skate. They hangout with skateboards.
Feels like a key and peele skit
Is This Cheating?...Nope, unless you're claiming it
Yeah just say you’re learning it at this point.
It is called being a pussy though.
Agreed. Skateboarding is about progression. This is progression. But don’t go around claiming it if this is the only way you can do it.
Totally feeling what Jeron is saying here
What’s he saying idk who that is
people only mad because they never thought of it.
Exactly, they're just jealous.
I’m a former football player that skates now. I still have kind of my football approach in a way. I hydrate, stretch, have a set of warm up tricks. But then I let the feel and vibe determine what I want to skate/work on that day. But I have friends that just show up and start trying hard stuff. Different strokes different folks
Even if your just going to skate your still training. Just cause you don't see it as training doesn't mean that's not what your doing. Your training your body, your muscles, your even training your mind. There's nothing wrong with training every skater does it that's how you get better
It is not, it is called FUN =)
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU LEARN WITH THE HANDLES OR NOT, YOU NEED TO LEARN AND PERFORM THE TRICK AND IT WILL ONLY COUNT IF IT IS DONE WITHOUT THE HANDLES. SKILL MUST EXIST, FEAR IS INEVITABLE IN ANY SITUATION.
BMXers were using rope swings back in the day. I mean it wasn't super practical, but it was a whole lotta fun all the same. As an action sport community we've come to accept falling is part of the process, but anything that mitigates the risk of injury I think is good. Like you guys said I think this works for conceptualizing and feeling out tricks, but ultimately you gotta just huck it. Cheating isn't a thing, either your ARE or you AREN'T skating/riding etc. The discourse is always great though.
"It's cheating but I would use it!" -- Crob
There’s so much truth to this debate. With this new skate generation also changes the mindset and thus the terminology
The semantics lol. None says we are going to practice skateboarding. We go and we skate and we kickflip a 1000 times to get it perfected which is the definition of practice LMAO: perform (an activity) or exercise (a skill) repeatedly or regularly in order to improve or maintain one's proficiency.
Even if you go to a spot and just send it, your previous tries before you land the trick, ARE PRACTICE. lol
100
yea these dudes are really showing their privilege lol when they were kids spending hours a day practicing flat ground tricks they were training, idk how this can pretend that isn't training or practice lol
It reduces injuries. I know getting wrecked is a big part of skating, but it’s a big part of why I’m not skating much at all in my late 20’s. I have a job and obligations that get a lot harder if I destroy myself trying to relearn tricks I had locked in my teens.
This could help keep pros healthier longer, help people learn tricks safely, etc. It’s gonna advance the sport.
Back in like 89. The homie Jarod D from Marblehead had something like this in his yard. He had a quarter pipe and his step dad made single kick snowboards and freestyle boards.
He made him a peanut shaped big board too. No concave no nose kick. Kicked noses had just kinda started.
The rope in the back yard was for freestyle practice.
He said freestyle was the future of skatebloarding. I would giggle. I didn't wanna participate. In hindsight he was kinda right.
I can't remember his name but there's no way he didn't industry. He knew way too much and worked tirelessly on snowboards.
I don’t think there’s such a thing as “cheating” in skateboarding outside of competitions. It’s both an art and a sport but more art than sport.
Same as a gymnast using harnesses to practice, to get muscle memory going. Its smart training, better than getting injured imo.
I hope you enjoyed that conversation because it had me seeing both sides … super interesting.
In skateboarding the only person you can cheat is yourself and the only way to do that is to not have fun.
If Garett is having fun then hes winning.
They had a rope swing in a park in Japan(true players in hakuba) an the kids progressed super fast.
If I'm at a skate park, I'm training.
Learned all my flip tricks on carpet and grass. Learned my balance on a round small attachable rail in the house and did stalls on. Mother always said, "Don't play ball in the house" Never said no skating in the house, haha.
It is all training and practice until you pefect it (which you never do). The use of word "practice" or "training" or "trying" is just semantics. What about the other "training devices" and helper tools such grip tape, urethane wheels, wider trucks, a kicktail, and a nose on your board, convave boards, and shoes, pads, or wax or the clothes you wear? What about wax, or prepping a ledge or a rail, or building a ramp that is not kinked? Are all those cheating? I remember when some vert skaters would invert their two front truck bolt with extra long bolts their front foot could catch onto for lofty ollies-- we called those "cheater bolts", and it was kind of like cheating as if you were using "skyhooks" to do an ollie. They were still having fun and experimenting with their skateboard, but if they used those in a contest, i think they would lose credibility. I used to think of wax as cheating, and would say you need to skate faster instead, but the technical combos on such diverse terrain would not have happend if not for wax and bondo and plywood and sawsalls and tennis shoes.
Just skate and have fun and let go of the drama and negativity.
When it comes to the word “practice” plenty of people, including pros, use the word practice. Like “man I really need to practice my nollie flips because I don’t have them down perfectly” “dude just keep practicing your kickflips and eventually you’ll get it” we all practice when we skate. Training..?? Idk lol the rings are cool but when it comes to cheating, it make sense because there might be certain tricks that you would NEVER try without those. Like, without those rings, you wouldn’t even try certain tricks at all. Period. So it is a tool and I would use them…. But without them there are tricks that I wouldn’t even try, so It’s a tough debate. Seems totally subjective.
I teach skateboarding lessons for a living. Often, clients will say to me well, he or she hasn't really practiced lately. I tell them, while I can teach you how to get better on a skateboard quicker and safer, what I cant teach you, is the experience. I encourage them to not think about it like practice at all, just go out and ride their skateboard: there's nothing quite as fun and rewarding as the doors that open up to you internally and externally by just going skateboarding.
I think if someone can learn a trick without absolutely killing themselves then do that trick without the rings thats great 👌🏼
I think its a great training tool. It definately will make progress quicker and lesser injury in the process. Skateboarding has evolved over the years. We just need to embrace the change. Im in my 40's and now skate with my two sons. And i love it. Skating had change my life and i want my boys to appreciate it too. We have our bonding skate sesions daily. Its like therapy to me. Seeing my boys landing new tricks makes me so proud. Skateboarding for life 🤟
Reminds me of learning how to kickflip holding onto my dads table saw in the garage
It's pronounced Jinner like the guy whos in touch and uses CZcams told you (Kelly) is it cheating when you sit down and practice kickflips or tres? or hold onto a railing...no. If you're using it in a video part...yes.
It comes off like they intentionally mispronounce names to throw shade 🫤 Garrett rips and he comes across as pretty genuine
This is brilliant for learning
What about weight distribution after you stop using the rings? It's not gonna work out the same way.
I feel like saying it’s cheating is BS. It’s the mentality of “I had to go through shit and it was hard, so you have to do it the same way.” Like having the opportunity to get hurt isn’t a good thing.
One time i entered freestyle skate contest and I got up in front of everyone and put on my Skater Trainers and ollied my fuckin' ass off.
Is that u Rodders?
If you've ever tried a trick multiple times, you've practiced that trick, by definition. This conversation is crazy 😆
Brilliant learning tool. I used to have a rail that I learned grind ticks into a grass lawn
I see this the same as holding onto a fence as example learning how to ollie or kickflip. This is that concept to the extreme but if it unlocks the mental block for a trick hats off. Skateboarding is evolving to "training" working out wasn't cool when I grew up skating and now we have skate companies and skaters that have training facilities with dietitians and personal trainers. Times change and so does the level of skateboarding, I see no difference than doing a trick in grass cause you are scared at first.
Skateboarding is an Olympic sport now, meaning that there are always going to be those elites that skate to compete (Ribiero''s Yuto's, Nyjah's), and therefore need to "train" a lot. Then there's the ones that skate for passion, and although they won't feel the need to "train" as such, they would probably like the idea of "practicing" a trick before actually doing the trick, perhaps to overcome a fear. God knows if I'd have something like this 20 years ago to overcome my handrail fear, I'd have gone A LOT further in my skateboarding career, without a doubt. I wouldn't say it's cheating, not unless you're tryna claim tricks with them, which nobody in their right mind would do. It's just a new way to learn skateboarding, and if that somehow opens the sport up for more people to want to engage with it, even just one person, then I am down with that.
😂 Why are you guys taking it seriously? Its skateboarding. Its a children's toy that we still use as adults. Chill out. There's no rules. If people wanna hold onto shit and do tricks then thats fine. If we're talking about video parts then of course its not acceptable. But to learn new tricks and have fun, why not? Not everyone is trying to be a professional.
I mean there's no rules in skateboarding so it's a no from me.
But he did do it without the rings afterwards so it's no big deal anyways.
Not cheating. Everyones done their first kick flips in the grass, or holding a fence, rail, pole, etc.
.. i grew up in a world where "i can dial this trick in at a skatepark..And Then i take this to the streets and throw this into a line"... in my mind.. doing it that way is practice for the real world.
bro has to be trollin jeff dechesare and garret now omg bro
Now you see how they learn their runs at SLS. There's a huge crane with rings on it that gets hauled off the arena when everyones learned their lines.
spider man theme song queue.
I learned hardflips by holding onto these beams under the half pipe so I could hang a bit long and stay over the board. Once I dialled it in there I was able to take it out to the streets. I think it is ok as a training strategy.
If you can't hurt yourself you're not skating
I think this is awesome because of safety. skateboarding has always been an individual thing. If you use this tool cool. Our approach to skateboarding is what differentiates us and it speaks for itself.
Imagine this at the vans skatepark in the mall in the 2000’s 😆
I'd rather use those rings and learn blunt tres than to have never learned blunt- tres
I wouldn't necessarily call it cheating. I would call it cheating if someone was using the rings in a video part😂. This thing is a training tool, just like those wheel stoppers that help people learn flip tricks without the risk of slipping out.
Without backpedaling your logic here, why would the rings be cheating during a video part if they’re perfectly ok to use as fear management while trying to learn a trick?
idk, seems like you can hold your body weight while holding those rings for extra air time like the dude doing hardflip 5-0. yeah it can help but dont rely on that shit.
I think a better analogy would be "If you played soccer but only played soccer games it wouldn't be considered training or practice. You're not running some kind of drills or doing strength training or stamina training techniques. You are just there for the game."
I bet when they changed the shape of the board all the old skaters thought thats cheating not having to use big heavy boards. Ive always loved skateboarding but was never able to land tricks. So always felt abit left behind. This is a very good idea to get used to the movements needed
Learn how to skate like a real original core skater is my opinion but progression is gonna sky rocket probably because of these hoops. Put them on a zip line with a safety harness so you cant fall when doing big stairs and rails
Could you imagine someone going around with a crane set up to spots to get their trick?
Chris straight butchering names on purpose. The disrespect.
To any skaters who are not birds, please tell me how your arms have ever been an integral part of momentarily cheating gravity and I’ll tell you how you are not skateboarding.
Pretty clear cut, those rings allow you to skip the gravity attack which is the war every skateboarder wages to be able to plant the trick flag at the top of victory hill.
As someone with recent injuries, I support being able to be supported while you heal and learn tricks. The end goal is just being able to do it right? Are they releasing skate parts with it? Don't be a boomer here.
It's the same as snowboard mats, trampoline mats etc. It's a mental preparation forsure. But practice is more the first few tricks (Ollie, kickflip, shuvit, 180) once the basics are done my Era was go skate park then film so "park' was like training.at 35, now everything feels like "s"training more than anything
I don't think it's cheating, anything that helps skaters build confidence on their board through some assistance is okay when they graduate to not using said assistance. Look at the skate stoppers, those rubber things skaters can put on their wheels to stop them from rolling so they can practice ollies more comfortably. I wouldn't say that's cheating either.
Using just a deck on a trampoline to practice flip tricks while minimizing injury also comes to mind, harmless, because it's just a temporary circumstance as a means to build confidence.
My first kickflip was holding the table on my living room and then I did it the right way, and I think a lot of us did something similar.
5:24 nice Allen Iverson reference
Skateparks ganna have gymnastic handles at each spot indoor parks ganna sell like hotcakes now.
It's the same thing but different wording. You typically practice to prepare for a game in traditional sports. There's no games in skateboarding, so it sounds crazy, but same thing
They're acting like they're landing these tricks in a skate part and green screen the rings out lol
It can work both ways, making something difficult first; like keeping up a bean bag then it's easy with a football, it's why I always skate at 200% gravity, super sayan
Doesn't matter what you think, every other country for high level skating is starting to use methods like this. They got 8 year old korean kids learning every trick under the sun using them.
Humble opinion, But I cant start my session without doing a flat four as practice or "training" to make sure I'm firing on all cylinders, And knowing what stance I'm stronger in that day is pretty relatable I am sure.
No. Not at all. Use it to practice or learn a thing. Then take it to the "streets". No different than a foam pit or whatever.
Talking bout practice! Not a trick! Practice! We’re talking bout practice not a trick, practice!
For todays skaters, this is not cheating if they use it to learn how to do the trick. But just like “fake video spots”, this would not be acceptable in the 90’s and 00’s. As an old guy, eating shit was part of skating.
You could learn so much like that
The actual title: old guys that are salty and willing to debate semantics for 15+ minutes.
i dont see it as cheating. because the rings only keep you from falling on your ass. you still have to have board control, and know where/how to use your feet. i think people just got tired of busting ass.. literally.
It’s an Olympic sport now so everything’s gonna get nutty. I dig the parks but the days where the entire city was a giant skate park will always have its own generation with memories. A spot was illegal 99%-100% of the time and always was sick. Keep charging 🇺🇸🤙
At the end of the day, if it helps someone learn a new trick and push their boundaries, I'm not gonna hate on it.
There is no right and wrong in skateboarding. It’s all subjective. I can say I’m gonna go skate flat that way I can work or some new / old tricks, but realistically we’re practicing. Now if I’m practicing for a certain contest then that’ll be training.
There is no cheating in skating. One could argue a board with concave is cheating. You dont skate metal wheels? must be cheating. You waxxed a rail? cheating. Making shit easier and enjoyable isnt cheating. Core skaters are mad annoying.
Whatever your level and however you skate your all welcome in skateboarding. I remember having rubber training trucks they were awesome to learn on. When I hear I'm trying a trick over and over untill I get it..... literally practicing 😂. Grosso was the true skater dude, included everyone
I mean for training anything should be allowed we gotta keep finding ways for people to get better without damaging there bodies like foam pits doesn’t matter if you are trying to learn triple backflips if you break your neck and cants walk again
This is perfect for kids with autism who want to learn how to skate
Yo just skate! Dont worry about how others are having fun and how they traverse the world. You do you boo!
That isn’t cheating. It’s training.
I'm going skating. Point blank
In snowboard bigAir they use big inflatble crashpads to lern a trick. So why not using whatever you can to learn a trick in a save environment.Imagine skateboarding for a circus.At practice you would probably use every safety device you could to not get injured.Progress comes for shure much faster with the benefit of less injuries.
training, practice, Dubz hates words
Is the only last name Chris can pronounce correctly Vallely? Or what?
We play to win the game!!!
It's no different than watching a trick tip video or trying a trick stationary. At the end of the day eventually you're gonna have to try it without the rings And it's going to be just as scary.
You never practiced a trick before??
Dude isnt trying to put it in a video part.
Well your weight distribution is gonna be different once you try it without the rings so this isnt going go help with most tricks. Idk i guess for people thst want to figure out tricks like this idc, but ive been skating for 25 years and i never really tried learning tricks unless i was rolling without an assist. I remember holding onto the couch to learn heel flips but that didn't really help.
I thought cheating until you brought up foam pits 🤔
this video made me want to go practice some tricks
