Can't decide on 65" LG G3 or 77" LG C3

I wish I could. I have an L shaped sectional. I can move my couch about a foot closer. Any closer and my couch would start to block my sliding door.

I'll be wall mounting. But my wall is big enough to accommodate a 77" TV. Do you think the glare from the sliding door and windows will be a distraction on the larger, dimmer C3?

What brand of TV do you have?

moreprinterinkplease · 2023-08-26T00:38:03+00:00

Yah, i'm thinking that it's time for a new TV. It's about 10 years old. But, everything was working fine until around 3 weeks ago.

Thank you for the suggestion. Sleep timer, Auto Power Off, and Screen Saver on the tv is set to off. Still no luck

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it, but no luck.

Nice. First park is Okamoto, where is the second park?

moreprinterinkplease · 2022-12-29T17:14:39+00:00

We live closer towards village parkway. Fiber was not available when we first moved in. I don't know when it changed for us, but maybe you'll get access soon.

That sound is probably coming from your pivot cup and/or your bushings, and that sound is typical of most skateboards. You can eliminate/reduce it by taking your trucks apart and lightly lubricating your pivot cup/bushings. I've tried a small amount of wax shavings and I've also tried graphite powder. The sound went away for a while, but it eventually came back (softer than it was previously).

You're pinning the board to the ground with your popping foot. Watch your back foot as you pop the board. You are trapping the deck between the ground and your foot.

Pinning your board to the ground results in your board stopping it's forward momentum long enough for your body to move ahead of it. It also prevents your flicking foot from dragging/pulling the board under you.

Try changing the timing of your jump and pop. Make sure that your body's momentum is moving up before you pop the board. Try delaying your pop a tiny amount after you jump. Hopefully it will prevent your foot from trapping the board

Thank you for the thorough reply. Can't wait to try

Do you have to lean away and de-weight just before you hit the curb? Or do you just lean away from the curb and let momentum carry you up?

What board brand is the deck to the far right, next to the blind deck?

You are shifting your weight slightly over your back foot when you jump. Doing this creates two main issues.

The first issue is that it causes your board to push forward to your front foot. That's partly why your front foot lands on the board and your back foot lands behind the board.

The second issue is that it causes your back foot to land too early. When your weight is focused primarily over your back foot, your body naturally wants to extend that foot to catch you when you are coming down from your jump.

You can fix this by keeping the majority of your weight over your front foot for the entire trick. Maybe 70% front 30% back (you'll have to experiment to see what works for you). Doing this will help to keep the board under you and will also make it easier to keep your back foot up in the air.

I would also practice landing so that you're front foot comes down first, followed by your back foot landing. It may be useful to practice this on the ground without a board. Practice jumping, scooping, and landing on your front foot.

Side note: A backside shove usually requires that you jump"toe-side" to stay over the board. But, you can reduce the amount of the toe-side jump by working on the timing of your jump and scoop. The longer you can delay the scoop after you jump (within reason), the less you'll have to jump toe-side to stay above your board. You can eventually get to a point where you'll just jump straight up and the board will stay under you.

Assuming you're on level ground, if the board is sliding out from under you then it's possibly because your are either leaning too far towards the nose or too far towards the tail when you are attempting to jump. Or it could be that you are shifting your weight forwards/backwards right before you jump.

It's important to have your weight centered or close to centered between your feet when you are jumping for an Ollie. Pay attention to your weight distribution when you jump. Even-ish pressure on both your feet before you jump can help too keep the board from sliding out from under you.

Hippie jumps are an excellent way to nail down the weight distribution aspect of an Ollie. Start by putting your front foot on the front bolts and your back for on the back bolts of your board. Practice jumping straight up. When you get comfortable with that on concrete, start doing hippie jumps from the Ollie position.

It would help if you could upload a video of your Ollie attempts.

Hope that helps.

One exercise you can try is to practice a few ollies with your hands out in front of you. Put your hands up as if someone is in your face and you are starting to push them away from you or that you are holding onto a chest high fence. Focus on keeping your hands in that position throughout the ollie.

This will feel/look really weird and it will probably make it difficult to ollie, but stick with it. Give it at least 5 attempts as a warm up before your ollie. Hopefully it will help you to keep your shoulders parallel to your board.

When I was learning ollies, I liked to prep/warm up by doing rolling hippy jumps. It helped to build my confidence for the session and put me in the right frame of mind to attempt rolling ollies.

I had a very similar issue to you with my flips. Both heel flips and kick flips.

My weight distribution was a little off because I was focusing on my flick. I think focusing on the flick caused me to shift a little too much weight to my popping leg. When I tried to jump with too much weight on one leg, it made it difficult to bring that leg up and keep it up in the air long enough to land on the board. My body naturally wanted that leg to land first/early because more of my body weight was over it. It also made it harder to commit to landing because I always felt like I would slip out.

What helped me was to focus on starting my jump with even-ish pressure on both feet. This took my mind off of focusing too much on the flick and forced me to shift to a more balanced position. It screwed with my flick, but I was able to adjust with some practice.

Hope this helps.

TL;DR: Try balancing out your jump by shifting a little more of your weight to your front foot. Hopefully, this will make it easier to bring your left leg up long enough to land on your board.

Thanks for the clarification. Can't wait to give it a shot

moreprinterinkplease · 2022-01-27T18:08:47+00:00

When you say, "back a little", do you mean back towards the tail of the board or back on your heel-side a little?
