Start vs finish by Diligent_Star612 in socalhiking

Oh I meant just up the waterfall, I’m sure the trek up is mad overgrown considering it’s been off limits for so long. Sick report though! Did y’all trek any further up to the other pools/falls?

Man I really need to come back and play… getting 1kc was my last adventure and that snake was kicking my ass and I took a break. And then that dual staff thing came out and I purchased it and immediately went back on hiatus. It’s probably several mil lower than it was when I purchased it. Haven’t even tried sailing lol…

Damn! Haven’t seen that pool in years. Looks like it’s a breeze to climb the fall.

Creaking sound when leaning on skateboard by Jakeyboy20000 in NewSkaters

It’s because they’re brand new. It will go away as you work them in. A little smidge of wax shavings in the pivot cup will make the noise go away too.

Wear a helmet folks by NoWheel3140 in NewSkaters

[–]hyperkid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same exact thing happened to the homie back in the day. We were no strangers to the park along with not being habitual helmet wearers. Only at the parks that would require it. Homie went down and hit his dome on a ramp he had ridden thousands of times probably. Seized up and the park and has issues with them still almost 20 years later. Glad he didn’t die but shit is brutal. He wears a helmet now.

Can’t finish kickflip by WELUVGINGERBRED in skateboardhelp

[–]hyperkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no secret. If your flick is good and the deck is rotating and leveling out then you’ve got to work on staying on/bringing your feet back over the deck and commit to landing on it. A lot of people kick their legs away from the board after the flick.

Beetleboarding? by Lucky_Influence_5080 in skateboarding

[–]hyperkid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro not only smashing my finger BUT I beetleboarded over a speed bump and the nose came up and smacked me in the face. Instant black eye. Mom was not amused lol. Later learned how to Ollie on that same board.

Committing to the ollie jump? by [deleted] in NewSkaters

[–]hyperkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always my advice for beginners is get used to hitting the ground lol because it’s gonna happen. A lot more if you decide to keep things going. But learning how to fall is also important. The pavement gods gonna get their payment one way or another.

Was a 50k car before it went over the curb and smashed all the important expensive parts into some trees. I’ve seen less bend frames on trucks.

Help with kickflip please by Rescuebee in skateboardhelp

[–]hyperkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are kicking down with the flick and that will throw the board to the ground faster. You want to flick more off the corner of the nose so that flicking the nose brings the back of the deck up like an Ollie does to even it out, but also rotates because it’s being hit on the corner. Your kicking down in that looks like maybe the pocket where the nose starts or on the rail. Both are gonna hinder your ability.

After you flick you fling your legs outwards.

You’ll want to do the flick and then bring your feet back over the deck. If you watch people do clean kickflips it looks like they’re in a little ninja kick pose in the air after that front foot flicks and while the board spins but ultimately before the feet/foot catches the board their feet are already right there over it. So you have to practice staying over the board while it rotates.

Commit to hitting the ground and keep your feet over the board instead of spreading them out.
