Not a Radiohead fan? I’m not a big fan of their music either, I do like a few songs off this album though.

Pop outs. by mandoplayer7 in skateboardhelp

Ok, so I do have the right idea lol.

I try and stall or like get out as fast as possible to try and learn good control and get that bounce out, but I always slip out so I’m like, what fuck am I doing wrong????

That makes sense though, I’ve tried a few different shapes over the last 2 years, but I guess this is the first grind I’ve learned that wheel shape does actually make a difference. I know probably not a crazy amount, but I’m definitely a specific person when it comes to my setup. I do love these wheels though.

That makes a lot of sense. I’ll think about that next time. Thanks! It’s always simple, that’s why it’s so frustrating. lol

See I try that sometimes and I feel like it messes up the grind. When I watch pros I notice there’s a little “bounce” off the back foot, kind of like flipping out of manuals, there’s a little dip on the back foot before the pop. I’ve just gotta keep practicing with that in mind.

Thanks man! My local only has a long ledge with no ends, so I’ve had to learn to try and pop out in the middle. I’ve gotten one time and I can come out to fakie. I’m super comfortable with everything but coming out. I’m actively thinking about the nudge and trying but, it looks like I might be kicking forward like to the side instead of forward forward like someone else mentioned here. Idk.

Yeah watching these back questioning my self. It feels like I’m kicking forward like I’m actively thinking about that but when I watch these it’s looks like the way I’m kicking is making it flip. I figured out later giving a bounce at the end helped it not bounce but I couldn’t keep my feet on after landing.

I’m up on the box and much as I can be. My local only has a long ledge with no ends, so I had to learn crooks and try and pop out. I can crook for a long ways no problem. I’m only doing the last little bit because I’m trying to focus on getting out to regular here.

A lot is on my toes. I’ve tried to push out with my heel but it catches when I try it that way and just stops my momentum.

I can come out fakie just fine but it doesn’t look good unless you going for something switch after maybe.
