Progression looking good!! Keep it up
Appreciate it!
Nice, i skate here sometimes
Yo looking good, I'd say for the 50-50 you can put the deck in the 50-50 position, run and jump on it to feel the grind and also try and learn how to get out of it. Another tip I would give for 50-50 is to lean a bit more heel side cause I notice that your leaning over your toes and that causes you to sometimes lose balance or get out of the 50-50 position.
A couple more tips as well is to really make sure to get your ollie mastered. The ollie is the foundation for many and I mean many tricks. So I recommend you to ollie over an obstacle and you can build your way up like from a stick to a cone laying on its side, and making sure you can do it every single try without fail. With this you can also work on your pop and technique of the ollie, and you can also bring it over to a bigger manual pad/ledge to really master your ollie.
The same can be applied to other tricks as well like the 180s, shuv its and flip tricks. Hopefully you get the idea, the next trick I would recommend for you to try out after fs 180 would be the bs 180. Its a very important trick to learn and its known to be abit harder than fs 180. But its worth it too learn it.
Hopefully these tips help you!
That 5050 is great progress
Thank you
yep you got both of those tricks. just about cleaning up the landing on both of them. itll come with repetition. the finishing on those 50 - 50s is simple. just put the deck in 50 50 positon run and jump on it and practice turning off that way or just stand on the board in the 50 50 positon and turn off without the board moving. ive seen both ways help skaters clean up the finish of it. 👍
you should get grip gum to get the dirt off of your board it also makes your tricks stick more to your feet
I agree that we should keep our grip clean (both for the looks and the 'grippy-ness' of the grip tape), however, I would not recommend grip gum. Instead, I recommend "abrasive sanding belt cleaner" because it is cheaper, and still works just as well as grip gum.
Yeah I definitely need to do something about that dirty grip
@@CameronBertie if you don't have grip gum / abrasive sanding belt cleaner, you can use an old toothbrush and some soapy water. Just make sure when you brush the grip tape, that the brush isn't too wet. You just want it to be wet enough to clean it. And after scrubbing a spot, immediately dab it dry with a paper towel.
Grip gum / abrasive sanding belt cleaner are safer/faster, but the toothbrush and soapy water method works when you are on a budget
Man i did my 50 50s like that and to do it correctly u have to jump on the ledge from the side like u have to come from the side
