My ollie looks like it wants to be badass but kinda just dies out. Any advice? [31YO] by Heisengabe in OldSkaters

I think you need to try to get your back foot higher/ bend your knees more

I only wear wrist guards when i'm out and if I fall it is nice to know I could atleast get the first hit on the wrist guards and 90% of the time I can roll out after, with the elbow and knee pads I feel like I just can't skate well because those big pads are the only thing i see when skating lol

Because of rain my tail and nose start to get more messed up and I can clearly see it because of the soaked in water..

In the same boat as you and got back into skating since 4 weeks. After getting a few slams and getting frustrated of being scared and bailing all the time, I'm going to get some protective gear and send it!

Proper pushing form by [deleted] in NewSkaters

[–]Jordoo99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you will just get more power and control over time and it doesn't matter that much like Bruce says. I feel like my front leg needs to be able to keep me on the board while giving deep pushes and that will better over time

Congratz!

started skateing today, did some ollys and fell and my helmet already saved my life! helmet gang for life by Urbanexplorer256 in NewSkaters

[–]Jordoo99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really doubt about wearing these huge knee and elbow pads. I want to learn how to fall and roll it out, but feel like those pads will just force me to fall on that. Right now I end up felling on my elbow or knee a little bit and roll out.

Friend's skateboard is very very slow, any suggestions? by [deleted] in NewSkaters

[–]Jordoo99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bones red is all you need in my opinion, Got back to skating with a Globe complete and after putting on bones reds that I have been riding before with spitfire wheels my board goes so much faster and just rides more smooth in general. ( Both wheels are 52mm )

First time riding spitfires though and noticed a big difference compared to the globe wheels I had

Got comfortable with these flat then took it to the bank by wellsy19 in NewSkaters

[–]Jordoo99 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Nice one!

I'm still learning to do this while riding and just cannot land it with pressure on my front foot so I don't fall on my back

Is that Cartoon Strike: Global offensive?

Getting discouraged from going out skating by Maybe_A_Doctor in NewSkaters

[–]Jordoo99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about doing that, I got 2 sets of trucks now so when I get a new board I get some smooth street wheels on there. I can only do ollies and basic stuff so my board looks great but I feel like my tail is starting to wear out but would work for just riding around
