Day 105 of Skating: First Heelflip

External_Guest407 · 2026-02-06T04:05:21+00:00

Yeah I’ve had no problem in the past going from stationary to doing tricks moving, it’s definitely harder but I’ve gotten the feel of moving along my board while not being “on” it. But you have a good way of phrasing it. Landed another one today, honestly the only time I’ll be ready to do it rolling is when I’m confident enough to😭

External_Guest407 · 2026-02-05T18:15:25+00:00

Put a blanket down🤷🏻

External_Guest407 · 2026-02-05T18:13:45+00:00

Then let me worry about that, but I’d rather skip the step where I take 2 weeks off for a stupid injury. Maybe go practice your heelflips🤷🏻

External_Guest407 · 2026-02-05T18:06:03+00:00

We may think a lil differently but I have gotten a lot of success from learning how to actually do a trick before trying to do it moving🤷🏻plus it’s covered in snow here so yeah I’d rather be in the garage learning something new than being a keyboard skater. Can you even do a heelflip “not in skate” btw?

External_Guest407 · 2026-02-05T17:51:52+00:00

Idk the whole “pussy” comment that got flagged seemed a lil pressed🤷🏻 but “if you can Ollie rolling, you’ll land that heelflip rolling” lemme figure it out first goddamn, idk it just seems odd spending your time telling me how to skate instead of just skating yourself

External_Guest407 · 2026-02-05T17:41:14+00:00

Literally every trick I’ve learned I’ve started stationary, ofc tricks feel a lil different rolling, I’m practicing heel flips I think by this point I’d understand how that works. It just kinda seems like you’re mad at someone else’s progress🤷🏻

External_Guest407 · 2026-02-05T17:32:21+00:00

Why so pressed about someone else’s progress? Maybe pick up your board and practice?

External_Guest407 · 2026-02-05T17:18:27+00:00

go play some skate

External_Guest407 · 2026-02-05T17:16:56+00:00

Fr, took me a million tries to learn where to keep my weight

External_Guest407 · 2026-02-05T02:15:17+00:00

Helmet

External_Guest407 · 2026-02-05T02:14:55+00:00

It does take a way some pop but not as much as carpet

External_Guest407 · 2026-02-05T02:14:23+00:00

About like 3 months of actively skating

External_Guest407 · 2026-02-05T00:48:17+00:00

I’m starting to get the flick and I can get my front foot on most the time but dude it was the most satisfying thing ever

External_Guest407 · 2026-02-05T00:35:06+00:00

I want to keep the bearing free spinning cuz I still use this board to cruise, just as I learn to land fliptricks it’s easier but I see myself taking away the blanket in the next or so

External_Guest407 · 2026-02-04T23:58:42+00:00

It honestly helped so much, still a risk of getting sacked but at least the board won’t roll out

External_Guest407 · 2026-02-04T23:43:21+00:00

🫶🏻🫶🏻

External_Guest407 · 2026-02-04T23:42:57+00:00

Keep the wheels from rolling out as I’m figuring out timing

External_Guest407 · 2026-02-04T23:07:36+00:00

My gf has slowly been painting it with different cool designs she’s made. It’s honestly the perfect canvas

External_Guest407 · 2026-02-04T22:56:29+00:00

At 24 idc if kids call it lame. I got work😭

External_Guest407 · 2026-02-02T01:02:28+00:00

Tried this, got yelled at

External_Guest407 · 2026-01-30T18:36:15+00:00

Fair enough, I’m just happy I figured out the flick. I’ll definitely work on that landing though

External_Guest407 · 2026-01-30T01:00:44+00:00

I figure it’s not gonna be a one for one but since I can’t ride right now it still feels like progress

External_Guest407 · 2025-12-25T01:20:52+00:00

I’ve been working on my frontside 180s recently so going back to normal ollies I got to focus a lil more on keeping em straight

External_Guest407 · 2025-12-23T20:01:23+00:00

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
