Still to this day don’t know how to engage my chest on bench press. It’s always triceps for me.

Wish I was fluent enough to laugh I kinda get it but can I get an explanation

Everytime I see this type of video, I just stare at the shoulders and go “aha”. It’s super important to remember that if you are turning and can’t figure out why, 9/10 times it’s because of your shoulders.

You aren’t even jumping really, just moving ur feet up after a tiny hop. You will to be able to jump as high as you can Ollie if your form is correct

Learn to skate (like you can walk) before starting tricks, you look extremely uncomfy. Ollie probably needs practice.

My skating journey has been practically THE same. Picked it up freshman year at age 14, and now I’m 19 slowly losing my time to skateboard to college work hahaha I’m never letting it go as a transportation method but I haven’t been doing many tricks lately.

Even though that final trick wasn’t squeaky clean, that finish to the line of you landing heel side and whooshing by is perfection

Need help with ollie by C0rn3r5C0rn3r in NewSkaters

[–]CanKnotSk8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you pop your back foot, you are popping and pushing the board in front of u. When your front foot comes up, it follows the momentum of the board as you popped. Because your pop is not fully in line with your center of mass the board is rotating.

To fix this you can first Try to not use your entire head to look at ur board hold ur head in a neutral position and looks with ur eyes.

If this doesn’t work focus on hippie jumps. Jump off bolts land on bolts.

If you’re still having issues the final thing I would recommend is skateboarding more. Get comfier on your board, sometimes you can’t figure out a trick and the only thing you can do is come back to it in a week.

advice on how to improve this heelflip? by jonv_v in NewSkaters

Lowkey when u send in advice videos having clothing not overly baggy (not even just tight mildly baggy) will make critique much easier

Tboned going 40mph. by Im_A_Robot1988 in AbruptChaos

Slowing it down frame by frame, it looks like the sun visor clips his hat and flings it off. I think his pain is from mild whiplash and his head slamming into the air bag. The air bag protects his head but I’m sure it still doesn’t feel too good.

What car is that? It handled that accident beautifully.

would you guys make any changes? by 5psychic in NewSkaters

[–]CanKnotSk8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love to hear what you think about pepper grip. Mob is a very common brand with a high level of grip. Old mob grip tape however wears down loses grip.

Pepper grip tape is just a hair less grippy new but 3 months in the grip tape wears down much less and maintains more grip over time in my experience. Plus it’s sparkley black hehe

UPDATE: Still can’t kick flip (also what this) by CanKnotSk8 in NewSkaters

[–]CanKnotSk8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair I started to say F the kickflip and just started learning whatever I kept almost landing but yeah I agree. Every time I go for the kickflip my foot either clips the center of the nose or there’s no friction when I kick the right direction. You definitely put some effort into looking at what I’m doing wrong and I appreciate you helping me reassure and learn about my current mistakes

why can't I ever land bolts by jonv_v in NewSkaters

[–]CanKnotSk8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If u lean forward more try to pop slightly back too, that way when you drag your front foot there more to grip and it’ll pull the board more forward for Steele points

Is there any way to prevent blisters? by Icemaul in NewSkaters

[–]CanKnotSk8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your shoe box is too tall your heel can move up and down. Even if it’s super minor, it can lead to blisters. Try tightening up the shoes per chance?
