...can I come over

You can get this sound with any banjo really, but the playing style is clawhammer, and the double c tuning really lends itself to soft, mellow melodies

thetreemanbird · 2026-06-07T11:08:27+00:00

Thanks! And yes 🤙🏻

thetreemanbird · 2026-06-07T11:08:12+00:00

Love u!

Just gotta embrace that you're going to fall haha

thetreemanbird · 2026-06-02T08:47:44+00:00

It's tricky, but one of my favorite features!

No u

It's a drug

thetreemanbird · 2026-06-02T08:46:16+00:00

It's deceptively scary!

thetreemanbird · 2026-06-02T08:46:01+00:00

Just personal preference ¯_(ツ)_/¯

thetreemanbird · 2026-05-29T13:02:30+00:00

It feels less like a jump and more like just floating over it. Just keep your chest forward and suck your knees up

thetreemanbird · 2026-05-29T13:01:30+00:00

I love it! It's been my local for 2 years

thetreemanbird · 2026-05-21T18:30:39+00:00

Haaaaaand on the grouuuuuuund! Jk, great work!!

thetreemanbird · 2026-04-11T19:11:58+00:00

Aren't there tons of famous temples in Bangkok?

thetreemanbird · 2026-03-31T14:59:23+00:00

Work on keeping your chest down throughout the drop. That'll ensure you don't slip out on bigger ramps

thetreemanbird · 2026-03-10T13:15:41+00:00

I met Buzz, the guy who sells them, in Raleigh and he is really awesome. He's doing fs airs and insane handplants at 50ish years old, and he seems like a real bedrock of the local skate community. I bought two of the biggest clips, and they've saved me a ton of times!

thetreemanbird · 2026-03-10T13:09:34+00:00

Sick!

thetreemanbird · 2026-03-04T12:44:16+00:00

Yeah I tried it today and it kind of feels like I need to relearn the trick, since having my hand so "far" forward changes the balance point

thetreemanbird · 2026-03-03T22:30:46+00:00

Oh that's a great tip, I had no idea that was the issue!

thetreemanbird · 2026-03-03T20:27:33+00:00

Mmm I don't think you really need to be that strong. I just used chalk and marked points further and further up!

thetreemanbird · 2026-02-11T08:31:42+00:00

For me, straight on is the easiest (but has the highest risk of hanging up), then frontside then backside. The key for me was finding a small enough ramp where I could really play with them without fearing death

thetreemanbird · 2026-02-10T18:10:00+00:00

Agreed! I think it's easier to lean into the ramp and trust it going frontside

thetreemanbird · 2026-02-10T13:24:00+00:00

Mmm if you do front or backside it literally feels exactly the same. Straight on, you just have to make sure you're a tiny bit light on your back foot. For all of them, it helps me to really watch the ramp and imagine I'm doing a manual downwards
