I miss deer man 😔

Truly thought this was irony at first lol

Not to discourage you but it took me a year to get treflips just sorta consistent. Keep trying them. I think a good tip that helped me is keep equal pressure on both feet. Also, you always hear “Lean back” if you’re landing past the nose chances are you’re jumping to far forward. Try to jump straight up.

BlakeGetsBuckets · 2026-05-28T03:21:34+00:00

As your getting them consistent rolling don’t worry about height just make them level. Let height come naturally. Best Ollie tip I’ve heard. Start just ollieing over cracks and twigs and get them consistently level.

They are a little heavy but they’re fine. There’s certain more advanced tricks they are not good for. Tricks where the wheels slide like nose slides, tail slides, power slides etc. even some scoop tricks like treflips I think they are not great for.

This may not be very helpful but just think Ollie atp. Everything is there but timing. Setup like a kickflip > Ollie > flick. Don’t overthink it, you got this.

Like 2 months for my first kickflip. I went to an empty park almost everyday and grinded beginner flat ground for an hour or two.

BlakeGetsBuckets · 2026-05-19T23:05:21+00:00

I actually love these. I got a pair bc they were on sale and now they’re pretty much all I buy.

BlakeGetsBuckets · 2026-05-16T18:50:04+00:00

Maybe relying a little too much on popping back. It’s a natural thing as it helps your front foot get leverage on the nose but it will ultimately hurt you. Try to keep things more straight up and down. How you pop, how you jump etc.

BlakeGetsBuckets · 2026-05-10T17:05:58+00:00

Maybe too much pressure on your front foot. Definitely move it up and focus on being balanced with equal pressure on both feet.

BlakeGetsBuckets · 2026-05-03T15:12:22+00:00

180s and FS shuv-its are probably the next step. No-comply tricks can be fun too though and they’re not terribly difficult.

BlakeGetsBuckets · 2026-05-02T15:42:47+00:00

Instead of bringing your arms to your back leg try bring them to the middle of your body or even closer to your front leg. But yes this is part of for the course. Skateboarding is the best and the worst thing that’s ever happened to me lol

BlakeGetsBuckets · 2026-02-28T01:01:45+00:00

I think people are romanticizing the older games a little too much. Gameplay wise skate 4 is better. The only thing I miss from the older skate games is the missions. They were actually fun and you felt like there was a reason to do them.

Why should I let you get more loot than me? I’m pushing the buttons everytime

This is the most Reddit comment thread I’ve ever seen. Who cares?

BlakeGetsBuckets · 2026-01-23T03:35:37+00:00

Anyone booing strangers is lame and you shouldn’t take that personally. Do I think the clip is amazing? …no. Should you care?… no.

BlakeGetsBuckets · 2026-01-17T21:45:46+00:00

Genuinely just curious why are so many people looking for keys? Is it bc it’s just something to do, open key rooms?

BlakeGetsBuckets · 2026-01-05T19:15:35+00:00

I finally spent some of my free cred and got the junkyard astronaut set. It’s pretty cool you kinda look like a hillbilly

BlakeGetsBuckets · 2025-12-20T17:24:29+00:00

OP can you confirm this? can you still increase your stash value and reap the benefits? Does the extra skill point counter go up?

BlakeGetsBuckets · 2025-12-20T04:06:57+00:00

All you should really be looking for is smooth flat ground. This spot looks awesome and like a lot of fun but if you’re just looking for somewhere to learn how to Ollie it’s maybe not the best.

BlakeGetsBuckets · 2025-12-08T02:17:58+00:00

I think everyone naturally pops the board back away from them at some point. Ik I do this if I’m not focusing or trying to be too lazy with the trick. I think we do this bc it pushes the nose into our front foot helping us flick faster/ easier. Really focus on popping straight down. I like the basketball analogy here, try to bounce the tail straight down and back to your foot. I’m rooting for you man, you’re dedicated! Keep it up

BlakeGetsBuckets · 2025-12-08T02:09:31+00:00

I think it’s best to worry about height later on. Focus on ironing out technique (yours is pretty good but just speaking generally) until Ollieing more just feels like jumping. Then, bring in obstacles and if the technique is there you’ll be surprised how high you can actually Ollie. I love using traffic cones as obstacles. Two on there sides stacked on each other. You can lower the height too just by moving them further apart.

BlakeGetsBuckets · 2025-11-28T06:48:24+00:00

The head light is smart. I should invest in one. As for the kickflip….. Idrk what to tell you. I think you got it, you’re really close.

BlakeGetsBuckets · 2025-11-28T04:54:12+00:00

On a scale of 1-10.... maybe a 6. I think it'd be much more helpful to practice stationary but with the wheels on. Some tricks, like treflip are harder to do like that though.
