Skateboarding: Kick Push and Fall

General Discussion
761

do it, one of the most rewarding experiences i’ve ever had. our high school required us to do like 40 hours or so of community service in order to graduate and i was lucky enough to be able to be in charge of the skate club at the middle school. every tues + thurs after school i’d go down and we’d all just skate in the school parking lot and i’d help the kids learn stuff.

on a side note i’m going to be picking up rollerblading again this spring. don’t know why i stopped, thinking back it was just as fun as skateboarding.

762

The steps at the end?

Cops and/or random people were at the bottom of the stairs.

763

They were cops? I didn’t notice. I just watched it really quick. I’ll watch it again later.

764

At the end there were people kind of close to the bottom of the stairs

765

Rollerblading is fun.I do respect those guys a lot,because if you bail,most of the time you are going down hard(Depending on what you do).

766

I got my backside flips down sick now. I’m so happy!

767

What does it look like?

And Mikey said this at the end

“When I finally get here, theres a cop waiting for me at the end!..”

Sean Malto got his line in though :rofl:

It’s a 180 kickflip. I skate normal so it’s a 180 and a kickflip where I rotate my body to the right.

769

So you just kickflip and rotate your entire body 180 degrees,or does the board go180 as well?

770

yeah both your body follows the board. I would find a video for you but youtube is blocked here at work. just search for backside flip or 180 kickflip.

771

Ah I see.

So after you land that move you would start SKating Goofy.

772

Mike Mo’s flips are pretty amazing. Check out that STOMP!

I can’t do backside flips at all. Turning backside all the way is so wierd to me, yet front boards feel really natural to me…sillyness.

773

Yeah some of that stuff does feel pretty funny.

I’m just more afraid of busting my head open.Yesterday I bailed pretty fucking hard trying to ollie.

774

What did you try to ollie Bio?

It took me awhile to learn backside flips. I just recently got them down. I just changed my back foot position and it felt alot easier.

775

I was just TRYING to ollie inside of my house.I couldn’t successfully do one AND I freaking bailed hard at the same time :sad:

I need to Skate a lot more.Get accustomed to moving fast.I Skate goofy so first I am going to get accustomed to that stance,and then Skate Regular and try to get used to skating that.

Then learn kick turning,reverts,and manuals before I go on to Ollies I guess.

Oh and do you have to wax a rail in order to grind it?

776

/\ Rails no, concrete ledges, yes.

777

I see lol

Well I recommend waxing it. You have to test it out first to see if it slides or not. If it doesn’t then you wax it up. A little bit of wax never hurts.

778

Where can I get wax?

Or can I just make that shit(And if I can ingredients?)

779

I use scented candles.

780

Just a big jar of Wax,scoop the stuff out,and then apply it to the surface?
