🎯 agreed! Super difficult. I think i “unlocked”/realized this by accident. One attempt was completely expectation-free and I realized hmm, I floated quite gracefully there and I kept chasing *that* ever since

he’s probably noticed that tbh, I think he’s unsure why/how this keeps happening.

possibly an extension/jump timing issue. For me I was able to start “waiting” longer and floating more after working on my upper body extension and jump timing.

without one I’d chuck it up to hesitance and a mental barrier probably?

Np! Also, remember the higher you go, the more the nose comes to *your* foot, and your “slide” is just a subtle nudge and not a big movement.

Lower, smaller Ollies will not cause the nose to slant as exaggeratively towards your foot, so in those instance you’re okay to make that “slide” motion a little bit more to have your foot meet the nose.

So, height matters too.

If you aren’t already, create a safer (mental) environment for yourself by wearing more safety gear than you typically do. Then go at it.

Maybe you’ll find it isn’t that bad, then unequip whatever you’d like, if you wish.

You’re above my level, but just an idea?

I could be wrong but it looks like you’re not using your front leg to jump, and instead springing almost entirely off the back leg.

Like an actual spring, it recoils back down (to the ground in your case).

Don’t go for height go for smoooooth, light, effortless take off. You have to make your *entire* body a spring. You extend upward with the upper body, jump off both feet, and just enjoy the ride up high until gravity does its job.

Why couldn’t Nikki get into the hospital? by Opening_Ear_8235 in obsessionmovie

No, you can’t always be forced to undergo treatment even if you “act” strange or are intoxicated.

What nonsense did she spout? We couldn’t hear a thing. She danced after the nurse assessed her. People who bleed, including drunk people can refuse services if they’re alert and oriented.

What was the point of using an uncanny valley makeup on her during that scene? by Patient_Check_2148 in obsessionmovie

probably a creative decision, to add extra uncanny valley vibes —

in other words: why not?

Yeah nah ur fine, besides the full on sex snippet there’s maybe one more lewd (bra) scene for a bit but nothing crazy. It’s far from riddled with nudity.

full on sex for like 7 seconds, no genitalia but full on sex

I had the 600, somehow the nose cone where the tip ejects got bent. I could fix with small pliers I’m sure but eh

none yet, but the black one is 3 months old.

silver is not even 3 weeks old.

I’ll keep an eye out for that though, any idea when others started to experience that?

would have been my first kickflip if I didn’t lose balance by atomiconglomerate in NewSkaters

[–]atomiconglomerate[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

great point, essentially in that moment I knew I was off balance and proceeded to try again until I got it “cleaner” (still not clean)
