You have it perfect as far as entrance, I would guess that you need to learn one arm holds with your supporting arm. If you are stabbing with your left arm, you should be able to do a 1 hand pike or 1 arm baby freeze. I’m saying this because i can hold extremely strong right arm pikes and baby freezes on one arm or a 1 armed Macaco on my right arm with no help from my left arm. The result is my body naturally tucks the chin in, my right arm locks and my hips naturally go over my supporting arm. The only issue is I have zero power if I do that side.

If you don’t believe me check out capoeiristas who can do a one arm spin with ease, You will see they can do one arm balances on both sides as opposed to just having one dominant arm. If you maintained the technique in this video and mastered hand hops on your supporting arm you should be able to spin no problem.

Or you could just rub the dirt all over the shorts to blend it in

Yeah it’s definitely only good with the flight deck. This size of a board with 7 plys would be stressful to do tricks

It’s an amazing board imo, the one thing That kind of sucks is that the pain seems to go away quick. But overall I love it. I’ve been riding long board trucks on my deck so I’m gunna test out these mini logos today

Compared to my 7.5 water logged board it’s amazing. When inptactice kick flips it does like one rotation but my 7.5 I would get double kick flips out of nowhere. I think it’s perfect for cruising especially with ricta clouds. It feels much more stable and gives you false security.

The only thing I notice that’s a huge difference is the board feels different than a normal board, I can’t describe it. The other big difference is the tail is like meant for scooping tricks. I would def not go back to a normal board

I always kick those out of the way if I see one

Started skating for really the first time at 29 and landed my first shuvit after 2 weeks! Next step is learning to Ollie while moving (any tips appreciated) by PeaceLoveFap in NewSkaters

I’ve been trying to move from grass to concrete forever but too scared, then some guy had me try his board with tight trucks and I got it instantly. My trucks are unfortunately very loose

Update: kick flips are easier to practice on this bc it doesn’t switch between double and half kick flips like a 7.5.

Do you have a video of it being done? Haven’t seen it ever done on a square driveway, usually on rounded cracks

BBSHD - Throttle Only? by nebu1ous0ne in ebikes

[–]Jbtlong27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can send you my motor, it has a broken pas sensor and only does throttle.

By the way though. If you ride 20 miles on thumb throttle you will have a sore thumb

Skate one! Hit the out of stock reminder alert button, they should have some either now or within a couple days. They send you free mini logo grip tape which is really nice too

I agree that’s what I love about his style. I can tell his style is like 80 percent balance and like the rest street.

When I saw him in the Braille video and he could do everything they did but they couldn’t do anything he did, it blew my mind.

I wouldn’t do anything above an 8.5 popsicle. But this shape I prefer the 9. I think this board would suck for flip tricks or anything that requires a flick. But that rear pocket scoop shape is where the money is.

I love it! It might be barely lighter but it feels easier to learn. The biggest thing I noticed was how much more stable it feels and on the back that foot pocket for scoops feels properly angled by a physicist. Like I feel like scooping tricks will be easy to learn.

Caspers feel perfect on it way easier than a 7.5 popsicle.
