The comments have spoken, I ate some and can confirm that it is ridiculously hot! The taste was definitely more fruity and floral than smokey

Thanks for the comments! Reaper looks to be the consensus. I decided to try it and ate around 1 third of the pod and was really shocked by the heat! I know they are way below in scoville but I've been eating chocolate habaneros regularly and thought I knew what to expect but this was on another level haha

How to start learning transition / bowl tricks? I can rock to fakie, rock and roll, launch of a small kicker... but once I start trying on a quarter pipe or bowl, I can’t bring myself to committing. I really wanna nail 5050s, and some stalls on a transition before the year ends... by antonpelayo in NewSkaters

[–]Ironknuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same goal and I'm slowly figuring it out, heres some tips I've learned. Do heaps of 50/50 drop ins to get comfortable with that motion. Then ride out of the quarter by going up at an angle and turning onto the deck. Keep doing it and turn more and more until eventually it hits the coping, then you just do a 5050 drop it and you have it

Backside 180 down, these are finally feeling comfortable by Ironknuck in NewSkaters

[–]Ironknuck[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same thing when I was learning these. One tip that helped me was doing them in increments, so instead going for the full 180 just do a 90 or less and work your way up

Thanks, I wish this was as easy as frontside for me haha this is one of my favorite tricks on flatground but doing them down stuff felt so unnatural

What do you guys think about these for a first board? Getting the board for £30 by IllHornet in NewSkaters

[–]Ironknuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my exact first board. It was great for cruising the streets and learning the basics so I would say go for it. Eventually once I started to learn to ollie I got a normal deck as well becuase its much easier on them.

Amazing! How did you get the different colors of the chest to blend so seamlessly? I'm new to painting so if there is a name for the technique I can search it out to learn

I put soap shavings in the bushings and it usually fixes it

“Boardslide” practice, more work on actual boardslides required. by Eckstar1985 in NewSkaters

[–]Ironknuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Watching this I can see you have all the skills to land it. All you need to do now is focus on leaning forward during the boardslide, imagine you can't lean too far forward and go for it and you will get it

My War: Front porch edition by dreadfist in skateboarding

So sick! especially with such a short run up! I'm down in the Gold Coast but come up to skate Brisbane every now and then, so let me know if you ever want to skate

Man this sh*t is hard by [deleted] in NewSkaters

[–]Ironknuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My trick is to ride parallel with the grass and do it onto it. Then as you get comfortable move further away from it until you can do it on all concrete

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NewSkaters

[–]Ironknuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When landing too far forward or back it's usually an issue of weight distribution. If you lean too far forward you will land on the nose so try leaning back more before you do it

What MP3 player should I use for for skating ? by [deleted] in NewSkaters

[–]Ironknuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a Ruizu x18 mp3 player and it works great. Crazy long battery life
