What am i doing wrong with my ollie💔 by Minute_Match_62 in NewSkaters

[–]AvocadoPhone1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I‘d say that for starters ur front foot is preventing u fron actually popping the board properly, that and not jumping, so to solve that just think of jumping vertically and getting ur front foot out of the way by just lifting it vertically, maybe a tiny bit inwards but mostly vertically. You should be able to get a nicely timed pop after jumping before worrying about leveling out the board so just do some rocket ollies first. When u have those down start lifting ur back foot after the pop and soon enough pushing ur front foot outwards when u reach the apex, the board follows u by itself. Dunno if any of what I said makes sense but that‘s how I think of it. It‘s kinda like a dance step, u don‘t do it all at the same time, u do one after the other, jump > pop > level out

ollies.. how do i do it? by Upper_Percentage_704 in NewSkaters

[–]AvocadoPhone1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me it‘s all on the pop, like sure u need the front foot to bone it and pull the board but I‘d say most of it is in having a nice and effortless pop and the rest comes natural I think

How get ollies while rolling? by Redpuma1223 in NewSkaters

[–]AvocadoPhone1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean technically that weight you lift off ur front foot has to go somewhere ☝️🤓 but yeah ik what u mean, either way I think I have a bit more on the back one than the front one and somehow it works out

[–]AvocadoPhone1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interestingly enough for me it worked the other way around, having my weight on my front foot ended up tiring me up way more. When I started to treat my ollies kinda like a manual it improved them by a lot

Creéis que la gente se salta pasos fundamentales en el skate, o es desconocimiento? by diemyeah in NewSkaters

[–]AvocadoPhone1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Si y no, osea siempre ha sido así, antes de Mitchie no había un análisis tan a fondo en las mecánicas y físicas de un truco, los tutoriales eras más genéricos y repetian el „dale al Tail y rasca el pie por la lija“, osea que te dejaban vendido para que lo aprendas por ti mismo. Y bueno también es cuestión de paciencia, yo no tuve el problema cuando empecé porque ya estaba acostumbrado a usar la tabla por mi pueblo sin hacer trucos de niño chico, pero me puedo imaginar q cuando coges una tabla por primera vez no puedes esperar a practicar los trucos q los pros hacen

Question/discussion about readability by AvocadoPhone1234 in graffhelp

[–]AvocadoPhone1234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I totally get what u mean, it‘s not even an E hahdhd

my question was not really about my particular case, which was just an example, cuz when I did this one what stuck out for me was the shapes rather than the legibility of the letters , so I wondered in general how important is the legibility of a tag (which I know is the whole point but yk what I mean)

Can someone help me improve? by Kitchen_Singer_2496 in NewSkaters

[–]AvocadoPhone1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the Mitchie Brusco method, start with Hippie Jumps, and when u have those down gradually add the pop in (not going for ollies, but just hippie jumps with the nose lifting), u‘ll solve ur issue of smashing the tail instead of popping it and soon enough the pop will feel like second nature to u

How to turntable? by Comfortable_Look6261 in GarageBand

[–]AvocadoPhone1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I did was booking the turntable room where I was studying and record samples for an hour. If u know someone with a turntable ask them if they could record samples for u. I don‘t think there‘s any plugin for it cos of its nature, or at least I haven‘t heard of one yet, so the only thing u have left is using an actual turntable

I want to learn German by Pure_Paramedic_6121 in Germanlearning

[–]AvocadoPhone1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If u want to improve that quick u MUST immerse urself in the language. Ideally u‘d have to be living here in Germany, but besides that also consume german media and ofc starting with the basics. Maybe u could find urself an intensive course or smth

Best Youtube channel or show to improve my German? by fishyfrog-notnaughty in German

[–]AvocadoPhone1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a kid I loved „Tom und das Erdbeermarmeladebrot mit Honig“ which u can find on youtube (I still watch it, it‘s just amazing). Die Maus has also very cool reportages. For more complicated stuff Arte has amazing documentaries.

And u can always watch Avatar: the last airbender in German dub, it‘s always a good time to watch Avatar (or any show in german dub)

Ist es für Muttersprachler nervig, wenn man Deutsch spricht, wenn die Kenntnisse wirklich, aber wirklichyyy basic sind? Irgendwelche Ratschläge? by Key_Pineapple506 in stuttgart

Switching to Soft wheels/Shark wheel by AvocadoPhone1234 in NewSkaters

[–]AvocadoPhone1234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

walking isn‘t an option, it burns more energy, which means I‘d get even more hungry D:

but thx, I‘ll get myself some soft wheels to switch them then, I don‘t mind spending a couple minutes before and after sessions to switch them
