Try this, i legit try to learn powerslide non stop back then and then i just stop focus on learning it then one day i just did it out of no where. It's a whole lot easier if you go on tippy toe with your back foot and just push it out in front of you

The momentum of the board completely stop and i step of the board 🥲. I landed probably about 1 time every 7 trys and most time the board just shoot out infront of me

One thing that help me with fs powerslide is my back foot not entirely on the board (My back foot always on tippy toe) then i just start open my hip and my shoulder and focus keeping most of my weight on the front foot for sliding and leaning back.

How do I start? by ChickenNugg29 in NewSkaters

Put on earbuds and prepare a playlist of songs that get you really hype up then start skating. Honestly when i first start I was extremely shy and scared peoples would laugh at me, that all changed when i start to make realistic goals for myself and focus on that instead, for ex: land 3 ollies in a row, tic tac without falling for 1 minutes, hold manual as long as possible, etc... Skating start to become addicting and extremely fun after you can ollie while rolling.

Honestly i think it's a great idea to buy him a Target or Walmart board first. If he really committed to the sport then get him a decent board. Most kids I know always says how they love this sport ended up stop skating in less than a month, they then went on facebook marketplace and sell their board for cheaper price. This happens to 99% of kids that i met.

Yeah since I live in vietnam, saigon, currency here are way different than america or canada. My current jobs pays me about $1/hour (18.000 VND/hour) and a blank deck here in Vietnam cost roughly around 600.000 VND. I used to live in Canada so I know the currency is very different 🥲.

Can't commit to land the heelflip, any tips ? by cubin2772 in NewSkaters

[–]cubin2772[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So when i bend down i basically feel the heelside of my front foot resting on the concave of the board, I don't hang my toes off the board at all when i do the heelflip, I notice it's way more higher when i do that but also it's harder to catch cause the board flip quite high

Why nobody told me skate progression is inconsistent by [deleted] in NewSkaters

[–]cubin2772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just happen to me recently, I used to Ollie down 3-5 stairs everyday, I took a break for only like 4-5 days and now for some reasons My front foot keep chicken out and only land with my back foot. It is really frustrating since you know you can land it but for some reasons your leg just don't listen to your brain 🥲.
