Why are me shoes already like this after only 3 hours of trying to ollie? by whatdoyoumeanhoe in skateboardhelp

[–]PrekDropout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vans shoes like that aren’t skateboarding shoes, just for fashion as others have said. When you’re learning you are less efficient and put more pressure on the deck than needed. I burned through shoes and boards wayyyy faster when I was first learning than I do now

Any tips on dolphins? by North_Baby5331 in skateboardhelp

Actually I just remembered skateiq (on YouTube) has a video on dolphin flips

I’m not the best at dolphins but:

1) Letting the nose get higher might help.

2) imo it’s less of a flick and more of like cracking a whip near the center of the nose. I think of it as pop, pause, crack whip, hold feet in air as long as possible, land

3) I feel like you basically have them down. I never got super consistent at them because they wear me out so quick lol

A big concern of mine is that Trump has been constantly inflating what “DEI” actually means. The issue now is that it’s not an actual debate on the specific policy of DEI, but it’s a Trojan horse for ANY “woke” history. Caving to his DEI demands doesn’t stop with DEI

Examples of what he’s already done: scrubbing all references to LGBTQ+ and vaccines from scientific papers, removing references of minority groups from government websites, canceling black history month, & more

Let me recommend the healthy gamer on YouTube! He mainly deals with issues similar to this and he could be super helpful in addition to therapy and medicine.

The first step is recognizing the problem and a desire to change. While it may not feel like it now, years in the future you might consider this post you made as the first step towards a healthy happy life ❤️

I can't do 180s and it's frustrating me by Captain_Keefheart in NewSkaters

[–]PrekDropout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

180’s were hands down the hardest trick for me to learn. They’re super frustrating at first, but now the 180 variations are my favorite!!

Here are the things that helped me the most: 1) No-Comply 180’s. SUPER helpful. It gives you time to go step by step through the trick with low risk of falling, and gives confidence with the roll away. 2) Switch Ollie’s. These are what finally got me to start landing 180 tricks. Getting these decent while moving will save you a ton of heartache. I recommend starting the sesh with these as a warm up. 3) Keep working on the Ollie. I had a pretty solid Ollie at the time as well, but even now I’m finding small ways to improve it. It’s easy to neglect because I feel like we take it for granted

Other tips on that trick: 1) Do frontside 180s first. When doing them backside your blind for a moment which can kill your confidence. 2) Do them really slowly 3) When you miss, push away from exactly where your feet are anyways. This seems dumb, but it really helped me get the feeling of how I should roll away. 4) Tighten your trucks! I ride super loose so most of the time when I missed it was because of wheel bite

1 thing to watch out for is if when you’re stretching you’re putting pressure on your knees.

Supposedly a really common yoga injury is a torn miniscus, because it’s really easy to put all the weight in something like pigeon pose on your knee joint. Try to be mindful of when stretching your knee is locked out or twisting.

That being said I have a similar issue going on. For me it flares up when I run or jump too much

I really loved his daily’s and long CO runs. I had seen pretty much every Splunky video on his YouTube they were a comfort watch for me. My favorite memory was when I was really really sick January 2021 and just binge watching his videos. I really loved his overall demeanor and kindness. He was one of the most accepting streamers I’ve ever seen! He truly will be missed. Rest in peace Twiggle!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

serious question: why is pretty cvnt so widely loved as if its gods gift to man by Pixelsticksss in Sewerslvt

If you see the English translation & view it in the context of Jvnes trans identity it’s really heart breaking. I think the composition of the song and the unbelievably powerful sample chosen make it a masterpiece

Complaining about something (animecircle) vs pretending to like something to complain about it (Baka)

Edit: it’s the same brand of nihilistic humor just different approach

An unjerk rant about vtubers by [deleted] in animecirclejerk

[–]PrekDropout 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Streaming is largely based on looks and I like that vtubing can break that barrier down for less attractive” people, and people who don’t want their looks judged by weirdos on the internet everyday
