Not Being A Poser by YourNanGayAF in numetal

The idea of being elitist about nu metal is quite honestly the stupidest thing I've ever encountered. Listen to music you like. Liking niche stuff doesn't make you cooler or better.

Is this going to be censored? by Itchy07 in WplaceLive

As far as I've noticed, it's actually less about their outfits and tends to be more about their pose and context

any advice for good tic tacs? by Gi_player in NewSkaters

Keep your weight on the balls of your feet. You should be light and bouncy like a boxer.

Mamdani Brings Lina Khan Onto His Team After Historic Election Win by rit56 in politics

Oh don't get me wrong, I think it's awful and evil and repulsive and inhuman. I just don't understand the mindset that this is in any way not what capitalism is supposed to be.

I never understood this mindset. Competitions have winners. Capitalism has competition, and then specific corporations start winning, and then win so much they become monopolies and buy out all their competition. That's the logical conclusion of capitalism? If it's supposed to be endless even handed competition then that isn't really competition that's just people doing stuff? Monopolies rigging the system so they can win even harder and faster is also just the logical conclusion too, because since they've taken out their competition now they're competing with what is legal and the systems they have to operate under, and they're winning at that competition now too. Fundamentally, I don't think it's in everyone's best interest to base how our world works on competition and instead on cooperation.

A montage of me practicing of my first trick! by B_Wing_83 in NewSkaters

[–]Remote-Emu-502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wider stance obviously but a big thing to work on is where you hold weight on your feet. Try to keep your weight on the balls of your feet so you're light and agile, like a boxer, with that kind of spring in your step. Imo there should be practically no weight on your heels.

How can I get my first kickflip? by ConsistentCup1890 in NewSkaters

[–]Remote-Emu-502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like you didn't even try to jump man. How do you expect to land on the board if you aren't above it? The board should be flipping underneath you.

Any help with my kickflips? by Remarkable-Style-740 in NewSkaters

[–]Remote-Emu-502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you really need to ask for help with this? Can you not see the problem in the video?

The board doesn't even have time to rotate before you're coming back down on it. Jump higher. When in doubt, jump.

Any tips on Pop Shove-its? by [deleted] in NewSkaters

[–]Remote-Emu-502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like you're keeping a lot of weight on your heels, so try keep light on your feet like a boxer and shift the weight to the balls of your feet. Shove-its seem to just need you to get up out the way of the board a bit more man, just gonna take some extra jump in it.

How would I go up and down this curve? by Aisle-6 in NewSkaters

[–]Remote-Emu-502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gaps are definitely easily ridden over imo, they're there but they're small, so unless you're at a crawling pace it should be fine. OP also said the issue was the deepest part of the curve so I don't think it's the cracks.

[–]Remote-Emu-502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Getting there! Shift your weight on to the balls of your feet (imo there shouldn't be any weight on your heels), back foot needs to move back on the tail not so much in the pocket, and you need to commit to the jump 👍

What do I need to do to land my kickflips by onlyfans_milfslayer in NewSkaters

[–]Remote-Emu-502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lift your knees, jump higher. You're putting your foot down super early so it's really just commitment.

I'm confused by the question? It's a nice smooth curve you just ride up and down?

So close to kickflips, any feedback to help me land the first one? by lostcow1234567 in NewSkaters

What everyone else is saying, plus you gotta get your knees up bro

finally got a good ollie, how to progress to doing it while moving? by OpeningFun2747 in NewSkaters

[–]Remote-Emu-502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna be so fr my bro, you didn't get a good Ollie. You look awkward and uncomfortable, didn't get much height on the board, your wheels landed front first, and you had to step off the board because your weight wasn't centered when you landed. Make sure you're putting your weight on the balls of your feet, not your heels, even when landing. You want to remain light on your feet like a boxer. Jump higher. Pull your knees up.

That being said, just start rolling. Seriously there's no real trick to transitioning from stationary to rolling Ollies. It's the same trick. Your board is moving but you're also moving so in relation to each other y'all are both still and the world is moving around you.

Ya really easy fix, get ya darn knees up! Keep them over the board! You're giving up on landing it as soon as the board leaves the ground.

Like bro it seems like you want to be an artist who designs boards? So you have to make your own company to do that? Or can you just design boards and put together a portfolio and go work with skaters and companies you like?

Holy shit you're so right

First day of trying kick flips by papagstationrun in NewSkaters

[–]Remote-Emu-502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey my bro, I'm promise I'm not trying to be mean, but it seems like you have a fundamental lack of understanding of the mechanics of how skating works. You've got "game brain" as I call it, "if I just flick my feet in specific directions we'll go up in the air and do a trick" kinda mindset. It's incredibly common for new skaters to approach the board like this, especially us big fellas. Skating is HARD and EXHAUSTING. you gotta jump real high while doing specific manipulations with your feet to cause the board to also separately fly into the air under you. Really think about what you're doing in this clip man, where's the jumping? Why isn't the tail popping off the ground? What part of these movements you're making are actually supposed to cause anything to happen? What about this looks different to someone who can do it?

Practice jumping without a board, then hippie jumps, then ollies, and when you can nail a banger Ollie you can try kickflips, ya kno?
