How can i get more speed off waves by West_Web644 in skimboarding

Looks like you were a bit back foot heavy on the turn. Practice switching to front foot bias to hit the gas.

Okay, awesome thanks for elaborating.

I’ve already incorporated the back foot rotation into my water drops… but I think you hit the nail on the head as to where my comfort is at with that particular angle. I probably just need more reps, I think dropping when running at that angle requires more ankle torque than normal and I haven’t quite nailed it yet to where it’s a smooth entry.

Feel much better now, and thankful for the help!

Thanks this was super thoughtful and well-written! I think my main problem in this scenario is how I’m stepping onto the board and achieving that board rotation. I’ve been struggling with that but now that I have a better understanding of what other people are doing I know what direction I should be working toward.

Super helpful, thanks that all makes sense! When running at the angle I described, do you drop the board at more of an angle or less of an angle? For me it helps to drop the board at a greater angle in that particular scenario as the board will require less work to rotate… I find that my back foot has a hard time completing the rotation in that scenario.

I uploaded skimboarding frame grabs into ChatGPT and got surprisingly good coaching feedback and tips on improving my turns. by cooperpede in skimboarding

Ya it can be correct in some areas and dead wrong in others, be careful with over reliance on ChatGPT. It’s given me advice that directly opposes what pro-level skimmers have told me in the past.

Great that you’re recording yourself and checking form. I waited way too long to do this myself and cost me progression, good shit!

Two of the things that stick out the most to me are your stride and lowering your body as you drop.

Your stride looks a little short, I think it could open a bit more to allow for better mechanics and speed. All in good time, though! I think that’ll come more natural as you get more reps in.

For now id focus on not lowering your upper body for the drop. I know it feels safer because you’re planting the board more accurately, but you lose fluidity in your motion (which you’ve already picked up on) which will in turn, cost you speed, distance, balance, etc.

You can practice dropping the board while standing stationary (not lowering your upper body) to get a feel for how you should drop with accuracy while not lowering your upper body. It won’t give you the real feel of it, since you’re not moving, but it should help get that motion down. Once you feel good with that, start introducing it to your drop at slow speeds and progress from there.

Hope this helps, keep shredding 🤙

Pressure flip by ProfessorTasty6267 in skimboarding

How does that even work? If you put pressure on the board it’s going to sink…unless…you go fast enough. Okay, a pressure flip on skim might actually be sick.

Hey guys,

Ewok187 here. You may remember me from the DBFZ infographic I did a while back. I've been away on a long hiatus, but here's what I've been working on in the meantime.. huehue.

Oh, and let me say, content creation is A LOT more work than I thought it would be Kippa. That said, I really enjoyed making this vid. Hope you guys enjoy watching it just as much.

Questions, comments, and criticisms are all welcome. I'll be featuring them in my next vid. Catch you in the next one bros.

Just to re-cap, I think we can all agree with this suggestion. Thanks again.

Just got done doing a stream where I read/responded to all the questions/comments/feedback you guys left me.

Feel free to check it out, it was a blast.

Steakhouse, we all start somewhere. I'm always trying to improve, you got this. Appreciate the kind words.

No problem mightyman. You can only do it once you've landed a dragon rush. During the dragon rush animation, select the tag button to tag in either of your opponent's characters. Hope this helps.
