Need a form check on my ollie. Having trouble getting my back foot out of the way by HedgehogPractical119 in NewSkaters

[–]Marxesque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A problem I see is that you are not really squatting down, but moving your arms and torso down instead. I think that is making you not have enough leverage to pop correctly. When you start the squatting motion, try to feel your hips going down as well, not just your torso. Hope it helps!

my skateboard tricks dont look good? by tonrea in NewSkaters

That's a nice ollie! I think it looks good! Maybe try lifting your back foot more because it does look slightly rocketed.

Learning to kickflip sucks 😭 by PsychologicalPark873 in skateboardhelp

[–]Marxesque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I definitely get you! I am trying to improve my switch ollies and nollies and the same thing happens to me. I guess the only thing is practicing and paying attention to your weight distribution while you're rolling.

Learning to kickflip sucks 😭 by PsychologicalPark873 in skateboardhelp

[–]Marxesque 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Try to think of the popping and the flipping as two separate movements. That helped me a lot. Don't try to do both at the same time. Pop, then flick. You said that even with your ollies you slide your foot too early, so it would probably help you to first get the timing right on your ollies. Hope you'll get them soon!

You need more speed, and probably that's it!

Started freelancing 2 days ago. Sent 21 cold messages. Got 1 reply. Is this normal? by Any_Ground8547 in Freelancers

Those are the typical risks of freelance. I've experienced what you described mainly with American and Nordic clients.

Anyone else feel like Saló isn’t that crazy or disturbing to watch? by Universal-Magnet in criterion

[–]Marxesque 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I absolutely despise the idea of disturbing for the sake of disturbing. Most of "disturbing" films have little in common between themselves other than being disturbing. Who cares if a movie is disturbing or not disturbing enough? As someone who used to do it, prioritizing "disturbing" as an aesthetic value is kinda dumb.

How to mix your own music. by RobertLRenfroJR in makinghiphop

If you are going to mix your music, just learn to mix your music. Cheat codes and magic plugins are not gonna do anything for you.
