I am a skateboarder who has been skating for over 20 years. I am a parent, a Nurse and a husband now and I still love skateboarding. I made this channel to inspired dads to skate again and I can still enjoy talking about parts of skateboarding even when i cant skate due to new priorities in my life. I Still love to skate. I feel Nyjah and the Boss Andrew Reynolds are my favorite skaters of all time but I love so many others! Mark Suciu, Shane Oneil, Antwain Dixon, TK, and the amazing Anthony Perkins LOL. You will see some reactions, discussions, skating from yours truly. Come here to get inspired and have a good time - Zábava
Dude, it took me more than 3 years to get my shove-its back. Friggin' shove-its! You're killing it. Keep pushing!
Heck yea man. No matter how long it takes as long as you get it brotha
I'm so scared of becoming a popsicle doing these lol. The tip that always helped me with these is placing my popping foot in the pocket, similar to how you would pop a treflip - sometimes it will feel like you're trying to pressure flip it or something, but for me it works 🤷♂
Hmmmm. Someone said pretty much the same thing in the comments about putting it in the pocket. It's gonna take awhile to get used to that honestly!! Dude that's why I never did them cause I was always so close to popsicle myself lmao. I thought I was the only one. It's crazy how the pop is completely different from nollie flips
@@tonyperksexperience1988 Yeah nollie flips are easy in comparison lol. But that flicking out sideways more than forward tip is a great cause the flick is what controls this trick.
Yea that method really works as long as you pop it correctly! I gotta get these better.
my secret hack is press ur right foot on the toe side of the board so when u pop the board is tilted due to pressure and almosty wants to catch ur heel so u can flick. Idk if my explanation is coming across visually but heed my words, i got nollie heels in a like an hour of hearing that from a homie at my skatepark. makes it so much easier to pop higher, flick is smooth and consistent. you already got nollie heels in the bag but its like skateboardings quality of life thing. make it easier wherevere u can yanno. Joes advice was dope! no doubt, im just throwin my two sense in the ring.
Bro!!!! I needed this! Yea man I im gonna try to pop on my nose cause I see what your saying. Once you pop it should start to turn the board towards a nollie heel because I'm popping on the toe side pocket. Man im taking all the advice I can get I'm taking because it's one of those tricks that just escapes me. I'd rather do a switch bs flip than nollie heel cause nollie heels are way harder lmao
Just found your channel. Good stuff man. Subbed.
Much appreciated kenny! Glad you enjoyed the content brother
Personally , i enjoy the "learning a new trick " videos the most , theres not too many of them from intermediate skaters.
Its either tutorials from people who have perfected the trick so there is no suspense , or its some crazy berrics dream trick thing that no one can relate to anyway.
its crazy cause I watched a guy Learn treflips and it got me so inspired to try nollie heels because I am TERRIBLE at them lol. I agree on your point of view with the tutorials or dream tricks. I could never do any of their dream tricks in my wildest dreams so I definitely cannot relate lol. I'm glad you are liking this format. should I do more of them?
Bro, is incridible how I identify myself with you...I also sucks with nollie heel all my skate life...I skate since I had 12, now I have 35 and only these days I learned how to do that! Was always frustrating to watch how people that know this trick do it so easily! I still have to focus a lot and can't do it easily, but need to look back to the tail, and kick it like Im doing a switch heelflip, if you know What i mean...
Yea man I so know what you mean. Almost looking back as If you were going fakie. Yea this trick is just one of those tricks that I can't figure out but I will keep working on it. Thabks for the tip as well. Il try and apply it and see If it works playa!!!
Ayy Marie Kerr right? I used to skate there when I went to avc. Weird park but better than nothing. Unfortunately moved out before the new parks got built
That's the park and it definitely (proportional speaking) is very weird and awkward. The new parks are wayyyy better. When did you leave the AV? You should come check out the new parks if you get some time. Well worth it!!!
@grandlegion1613 is correct. it also helps to ensure that your front leg is sucked up after you pop to prevent the straight leg falling forward situation (don’t be lazy with it) lol. i still make this mistake and nollie heel is my fav flip trick.
It's weird because I know how to nollie when doing nollie kickflips but nollie heels seems like a completely alien trick lmao. Yea I never think to.suck up my front let. The crazy thing is I did it down a 9 stair one time in my life lol. But yea il definitely do some tweaking and do a part two.with these comments and.see if they can help me improve them
@@tonyperksexperience1988 looking forward to the vid.
appreciate it king
When I learned these, I treated more like a nollie first then mid lift to kick back and out to level it out. Same thing though less out and more back towards the pocket. If you watch folks who send these to the moon there's a lot of lift before they kick to get it level. Nice work!
Yea after watching it I think my pop was off. I totally agree with you. I've been wanting this trick for years but it's just one of those tricks I just continue to struggle with. For some reason I cam form nollie back heels much easier than doing a straight nollie heel for some reason
Sometimes burning yourself out on one trick can hurt more than it helps. Next time try taking a break doing something you know or just cruise for a few minutes. Clear your head. Learning new tricks is always hard. Wish you good luck to the point where you can do 10 back to back.
It’s hard being a dad in your 30’s trying to skate. We don’t have all this free time these kids do. But don’t force it. Don’t know if you did, but take a second and rewatch your footage. Compare it to someone who lands it. You might notice something.
Of course, just my thoughts. Do what’s best for you.
your right about forcing it. I definitely feel thats a trick im just not willing to take the time and learn it. its just too much work for the limited time i have to skateboard
Brother you did well 👍
Thanks so much. I'm trying out here 🤙🏿
Just found you. Subbed!
nice vid m8 ! just a quick question; do u use another device to record and another device to listen music through the airpods? (assuming u are listening to music) I couldnt find a way to video record and listen to music at the same time
Yes I have a phone that I record on that has cellular service and another phone I just for filming. Both phones are the galaxy note 10 plus. Love that phone
My right leg and flip tricks cant be put in the same category lol i can skate reg no problem but switch or nollie and my right leg goes useless
Man I started to do that for awhile with my left foot. It just takes muscle memory. If you watch my trick tip on switch flips... there is a hack that allows you to develop muscle memory for flicking tricks.when your skating or not skating. It's hard to explain on text tho lol. I'm sure you can get that right leg working lol
@@tonyperksexperience1988 it's good for pop for sure but any switch and it's over lol. I'm 45 and done some sick tricks over the years. Kickflip bs blunt slide on barriers and such I'm old and need to get back out there on it though.
Man you were killing it. Kick back blunt!!! Sheesh. What initially made you slow down or stop skating?
@@tonyperksexperience1988 having kids and bills being due lol
Yep that's the life of a skate dad lmao. We are in the struggle of family life, kids, work and finding time for ourselves! Salutes to you brother!
Great good! How tall are you? I'm 6'4 and 240lbs, and I can't do too many attempts or my knees will hurt the next day. I'm also 37, so I tend to take it easy nowadays.
im 6'2 and about 240lbs as well. im also 35 so not far behind ya bro. lately my lower back has been throbbing too. for the knees i wear a knee brace on my left knee and use insoles in my shoes. 10 times better bro
@@tonyperksexperience1988 Ah that's what I figured, our body type looks very similar. So it's nice to see you out there putting in work. Gives me hope for myself. And I need to get a knee brace 😁
Man you got it brother. I appreciate the support. Yea being bigger comes with its own issues lol but I gotta get out there and shred. If you end up skating again, add me on ig and send me some clips bro. I'd love to check them out if you decide to. Ig tony perks
I had this same question and started questioning whether I was too heavy to be skating anymore. I am 36 years old, 6'2', and 210 lbs right now. As I got older, I started to have foot problems from skating. I think primarily due to having trouble finding a wide-fitting skate shoe. For the last few years, I have been really inconsistent with spending time on the board. I will get out there for a few days, then spend several months without skating due to the busyness of life. You are inspiring me to get out there more. Great video!
Yea man being a bigger and skating has its own host of problems but your definitely not to big. 210 is a good weight for your height. But I do understand the foot problem and that can definitely prevent your joy from skating plus being busy with adult life lol. For me, the more consistent I am skateboarding, the less sore I get and my body tends to feel better. Try it out bro
I'll send you a link to a nollie heel trick tip because you could use the lesson Lok.
