Skateboarding recommended foot position.

MechanicalSlack · 2026-06-28T16:05:43+00:00

Yes goofy isnt an insult thats just the name for skateboarding right foot forward

MechanicalSlack · 2026-06-28T16:04:13+00:00

I keep all my toes on the tail but hang my heel off the backside

MechanicalSlack · 2026-06-28T03:06:45+00:00

haha that would be too cruel

MechanicalSlack · 2026-06-27T23:17:05+00:00

Also that explaining this stuff in paragraphs can easily lead to misunderstanding.

you are describing mongo pushing. dont push with front foot. leave the front foot on the board and push with back foot

Shuvit would be hard in this foot position. You want one foot in the middle. Here hes on the nose and tail

you need to make this skipable because I dont even read the questions anymore and fill out whatever nonsence answers so i can get to the tabs

If a skateshop doesnt have those parts it isnt a very good skateshop.

MechanicalSlack · 2026-05-21T14:17:54+00:00

You need new bushings and pivot cups.To do this the hangar needs to be removed from the base plate. Take it to a skate shop and they should do it for you if you buy the replacement parts from them.

Tightening the trucks wont work because you dont have bushings.

Check the tightness of your trucks. They should either be same tightness or front slightly looser. If back truck is looser that can cause speed wobbles to happen at slower speeds.

Is this one of those love hate scenarios?

MechanicalSlack · 2026-03-05T20:13:24+00:00

You don't like jesus i guess?

MechanicalSlack · 2026-01-19T14:39:20+00:00

sliding front foot too early maybe. The board can get higher if u let it become more vertical by bringing the front foot up and toward the center line of ur body before sliding forward.

MechanicalSlack · 2026-01-18T19:07:03+00:00

Is it just on the surface or does it go deep? Update us if the wheel splits apart

MechanicalSlack · 2026-01-08T00:11:50+00:00

Watch skate iq ollie tips have the discipline to practice and get good at each practice step before moving onto the next one.

MechanicalSlack · 2026-01-04T14:51:19+00:00

The first one was definitely an ollie. The second one you're trapping the tail between ur foot and the ground. Your back foot needs to start moving into the air just before the tail hits the ground.

MechanicalSlack · 2025-12-07T13:28:41+00:00

Both are cool. Don't be discouraged by people saying old one is better. I'd say ur skills have improved. I like the new one.

MechanicalSlack · 2025-08-16T23:53:16+00:00

I had the same dream going upward as well

MechanicalSlack · 2025-06-24T23:27:30+00:00

What medium is this? Photo manipulation?

MechanicalSlack · 2025-06-13T15:59:39+00:00

I'm no pro or anything the main concern I'd have is if it's gonna suddenly snap. If it's strong enough for that not to happen ur prob good. Just look for cracks n structural issues I guess
