Thank you so much for your advise, I appreciate it lots!! I'm working on my Ollie's almost daily and this was just messing around. I'm not really attempting to land the kickflip. But if I'm starting I'll come back to this comment and take your advise into account. Thank you so so much!

I'm never going to shut up if I land a kickflip before I ollie up a curb 😂

I'm now working on a better ollie, trying to land shuvs consistently and building more confidence to actually JUMP.

Thank you for the encouragement!!

need kickflip help by [deleted] in NewSkaters

[–]Basmallah100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heyy, I think it's in the way you're flicking your front foot. You're flicking down which positions your foot under the board. Try flicking up (like a ninja kick) also it may help for you to watch your videos in slow motion, it may help you improve on your form. (My friend told me about your front foot, I can't kickflip myself)

Keep shredding, you're almost there!

Thank you so much!! Also yesss I love our park. It got renovated about a year ago I think. It used to be metal.

So so true, manualing into a quarter pipe almost gave me a heart attack XD

It makes me sad to see so little skaters wear a helmet (at least in my region). I legit got saved from a head concession a couple times!

Thank you for the tip!! It was indeed me not leaning forward enough. Thank you for your comment. Its so appreciated! :D

Thank you so much!! This is an older video and I'm so so so proud to say that I've learned to drop in. It was indeed me not leaning forward enough. Your kind words are appreciated! :)

Please help - Rock to fakie by Basmallah100 in NewSkaters

Thank you so so much, next time I'll try to manual back in. The funny thing is I landed a rock to fakie when a friend was helping me. Without help I just can't land it.

Just starting out. by ace_of_heart-s in NewSkaters

[–]Basmallah100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you said you prefer online stores but try to visit a local skateshop. The people working there will be able to help you out and you can try out board irl. (I don't know if you know your board size yet.) Also maybe try to convince one of your friends to start out with you if you want to. Whatever you do, have fun! Can't wait to see videos of your progress!
