"you have to commit before you try but then your try has to be good." I like that. I think that'll be my mantra for today's sesh. Thanks for the vid.
Hope it’s a fun session!
Crushing it the last 2 minutes Dowdy, so sick!
Thank you, such a fun session
Haha, "dont bring the rc car in the skatepark please" someone had an rc in my park, went in front of me and I had a gnarly slam, chipped some teeth pretty good, its giving me ptsd haha
Putting it all together! Stellar!
14:11 The slappy on the curb to the grind on the bowl was sweet.
"I'm scared" . Skating is a dichotomy. Yet we skate.
Love that Fly-Away helmet ! 🤘😆🤘
hell yeah dowdy! push your comfort!! really wish I still had access to a vert ramp, park I was learning at shut down and the next park I would go to has a 3ft mini so its an insane difference..
That was super sick Zack!
Loved seeing the progress of bailing out to get the confidence. Love that front smith around the curve!
It's great to be an all-around skater, you really get to enjoy the entire park! Keep it up!
starting to warm up in VT/NY where I am and this video got me hyped to skate this week. Love the bowl skating!
Love the skate build and skating videos rad to see keep up the awesome work much love boss man 🔥🔥🔥🔥♥️🤟
I'm far from a skater actually never have. But this video is great, shows the grind, struggles, trial and errors with anything you're trying to learn. Well done
Dude love to see the progression over the years. Killin it.
The ending session was hands-down my favorite of all of your videos since you started! Love your skating an videos but it was so sick finally seeing you do full lines with no cuts! You definitely need a Fillmer for every video from now on haha throw that tripod away
you went from skater dude to model with the haircut
Digging the tunes! Sick Shreddin’
@ZackDowdy the corner smith made me think of cardiel 5-0 in transworld video, drain will have to be redrilled larger at a steeper angle, Tre flip roll in then the switch carve🫡🤌🏼💪🏼🛹
Loving the content you've been putting up lately, keep up the good work.❤
Yeewww, Fired up at that last bowl🔥🔥🔥
MLK is my local skatepark and this video was randomly suggested to me.
Also, I watched your pool tutorial at Prince, went today and got the grind where you roll onto the coping today in the same bowl 😂
Thank you, dope videos 👍
that last bowl was some bad ass skating bro!
This is literally me lol just figured out back 50-50s yesterday. It’s really humbling to go back to basics but I definitely feel a lot more solid and well rounded.
Edit: watched a bit more and want to also just check in to make sure your mental psyche is good especially after your big injury. Usually those psychological traumas stick with you for a while even after the physical recovery. What personally helped me was journaling and taking mental acceptance of the trauma I was experiencing during that time. Helped to write it down instead of holding onto it in my head subconsciously. Best of luck homie 😊
Damn, Zack you were really killing it at the end of the video, I Saw some Lance Mountain in you.Keep up the great work dude!
yeah around 14:00 he does go off!!
That's who his style reminds me of lance fucking Mountain your sure right man. Hell of a comparison Zach keep ripping and good job rounding off your street skills
@@chrispatton6303 Right on player.
You flow like butter 🧈
It’s cuz u been getting ur street dowdy on! We gotta get a tre flip in transition next !
Having so much fun in the streets!
your pool skating kicks ass man
So good!
Way to slay it at the end there
Props to all transition/ bowl/vert skaters man , its a different type of nerve to commit to that style.
Damm Zack, your tre flips have become smooth as butter👌
Ok. I was wondering why you had gone full street since your accident. I am pretty new to skating as I started transition skating 2 years ago at 53(I could only tic tac) because my son wanted to go to the skate park and it just looked too fun in the bowls . Your videos have helped me a ton. Great content always. I did not realize for a really good skater like yourself you actually feel safer street skating. I thought the accident had inspired you to really push your skating but for you it actually felt safer. The street stuff looks way scarier to me. Probably the no pads in my mind makes it that way.
Most bowls are built above grade around here. I’m sure in socal they didn’t even worry about it.
Hell yeah. This video is motivational as fuck. I’m definitely trying those backside airs today😊
just saw a video at Dan Corrigan channel, and he was talking about people "stealing" pool cooping from the skate park = )
How tall is that ramp? 8ft?
Looking to get a sesh in here in San diego. You got any good underground parking spots you could share. The weather is very bipolar today.
I know this bowl kinda well and I'm pretty sure that all the water coming out the expansion cracks it's coming from all the land scape around. the bowl is the lowest point and I guess who build it didn't though about untherground water barrier wile building in Southern California. And this land is soaked
on rain right now and water always find his way out.
by the way, great videos.
King Dowdy!
Ripping!
Is that Darren Navarette in the background when you're trying smith grinds in the bowl lol
Sure looks like it
Zack Dowdy is your favorite skaters favorite skater
Getting enough air to hurt yourself is terrifying. I could never handle jumps on bmx, as soon as I get that weightless feeling I lose all control of my body
its good that the authority services maintain your bowls and parks there? Do you think you could email the government in New Zealand and suggest they do the same? Perhaps they might listen to a person from another country because they dont listen to the NZ citizens
Dowdy my guy I’ll be in sd in three months
Rad!
I’ll hit you up when I touchdown
Ohhhhh i got my helmet on, helmet on annnnnnd ive got my knee eeeeeee pads on. But even with nothing on onnnnn ohhh i still shred. Ohhh i still shred. 😂
15:40 crunchy
Good luck with the pescatarian diet dude
Thinking vegetarian myself! I tried once- 11 months
Ummm good job
Who is “they”?
Its to bad they dont build pools like that anymore they are always square nowadays
MLK!
Pole coping = pool coping.
Unrelated to reality. Always pissed me off in videogames... they dont do Madonna correctly. Wish they would fix that and make it a coping trick.
not an easy or cheap work to repair this leaking on a proper way.
Yeah, rain can suck for skating. Do you think staying away from transition after your injury, made the fear worse? Also being a balanced skater is way better than having a niche (in my opinion), just because you can adapt to your environment much better; for example, you want to skate, but it’s raining, then you can practice tricks in a covered parking garage. Killed it, so glad to see you back in the bowls and transition. 💪🛹
Staying away made the fear worse for sure!
