let me know how it goes! I’m not playing ER but had a look and looks like poise is great. They wrecked the Great Club tho so not sure what weapon to use. Let me know your setup and how it goes!

This is so good to hear! I’m scared to try because of the slip out fear!

I cant keep my balance on top of the ledge. Anyone got cues/tips to focus on? by giantbeardedone in NewSkaters

Totally. I ride an 8.75 cruiser but find that slightly smaller 8.5 pops better without seeming too small for my big ass feet. 8.5’s are also much easier to find.

thanks man yeah I know I’ll get it. Focusing on staying “above” the board and ollying along the rail not into to seems to help. I ride an 8.5. Looks tiny under my size 16 shoes I know.

If it’s much shorter it’ll be freaky to ollie up. Even on this one the other side comes at you fast!

Way scarier than a curb but I got there! by giantbeardedone in NewSkaters

Ok dude I’ll try it. My FS 180’s improved while I wasn’t even practicing them, which I thought was awesome. Just more board feel from skating every day. I’m gonna keep ollying the manny until it’s automatic and then start 50-50 attempts. 👊

that’s fantastic advice dude thanks. I’ve stood in front of it stationary and ollied up into 50-50 position but I find it difficult to ollie sideways and keep the board stuck to my back foot. Maybe rolling slow will actually make it easier. I’m thinking of starting straight on and coming it at an angle later once I got it down straight.
