@@yoursubconscious 😂 Gotta call myself out. They also seem to do the same down Hollywood 16 these days so I’ll apply the same logic then

Go for it you got it. Gotta send the down rail next

Hope it helps them :)

Now Ive done it I have no idea why it played on my mind so much. I think because of the height I was worried about jumping, losing my footing and rolling an ankle. I’ve been very weary of it since I broke it a couple years ago. Going to try the down rail next

@@Rufusdos thanks man

Thanks dude 👊

Both all about the commitment

@@reapingshadow2866 you got it. Spend some time just throwing your board at it like I did. Really helped build my confidence. Also visualising that the rail is shorter than it actually is really helped build.

@@realcokemilk Thanks man

@@CubingB haha no turned out my boss went to a meeting so I was off the hook

@@mr.intiman2629 appreciate it :)

Thanks

@@bennyg949 Thanks man. Starting this series is really helping my motivation to just step outside my comfort zone and tackling tricks I know I’m capable of. Going to try and use the same mindset for the down rail next

@@averageskater900 oh dude... you have that no problems at all....

@@RedBoard86 I think that’s exactly it even though so much more can go wrong with a nose slide it just feels a bit safer.

@@rafaelaurelio38 not sure they make them anymore. They still do relaxed fit chinos but maybe not the glides

@@EugeneIsaacs-byrne yeah I know I called both variations front board. I always get confused because you ollie FS. Oh well lol

@@jordanm74 thank you really appreciate the support. Trying to get enough time to make more videos in the winter is hard so I might do some sit down and chat style stuff soon

@@bennyg949 honestly if you can blunt stool a quarter pipe and then transfer your weight onto the deck you can blunt transfer. I just decided to imagine the spine was just a quarter pipe to help me

@@doogleisfat thank you for the support!

@@ysg6311 south West Sussex area

Thank you mate

@@AlexKomnenos yep still young and nimble. More trying to show that i’m finding time and facing the fear of injuries. Obviously I’m still young able but I have responsibilities and a family to feed. Physically skateboarding at my age is still pretty easy, just don’t recover as quickly as being a teen, however mentally it becomes more difficult and finding time to prioritise it becomes hard. As it does for most adult skateboarders.

I'm 26 now and I can clearly tell a difference from skating when I was 19 or smthg so I really appreciate the video!

@@adryancavar7515 same age as me. Appreciate the support

Yep it’s not about being able bodied like a “kid” anymore. I’m 25 and I definitely can skate well but my lively hood of not pushing it and staying healthy is what I contemplate most when trying new tricks. I can’t risk an injury and not be able to work/support myself. It’s all about baby steps

@@SonicNurse666 exactly

@@syyynksta thank you !

@@CertifiedRocker thanks appreciate the support

I appreciate it

@@shoppingcart238 yeah definitely helped with the commitment

The answers are bit long so I might make a video on this question.

@@averageskater900 nice man i would love to watch it

West sussex England

Ahhh little bit far for me to want to travel to it, but that is such a nice local to have.

@@Porky351 yeah this is a fairly hidden Gem in the area. I have to travel a bit to get to it but not to far

@@RedBoard86 Agreed. After an ankle injury a couple years ago my confidence was massively knocked and it took a year for it to heal properly. I can still feel the ligament pain after a session and when the weather changes. Now I have bills and a family I have to think about Injuries don’t just affect me anymore. That being said it pains me not progress and pains me more to regress. Now I’m building my confidence back up I hope to be doing brand new tricks soon

@@averageskater900 I rolled my ankle around the end of Sep. spent 2wks off my board. Then getting back on, I’ve been doing light stuff like practicing kickturns and manuals. That’s it. I’ll do a few ollies too. I just keep gauging how I feel and that’ll tell me when I can step it up Honestly, I think doing that “light” physical work helps my ankle loosen up. It’s never felt sore the next day thankfully

Yeah I think I said it right most times in the video but I always confuse myself. I pretty much have to say “frontside ollie to do a back board” in my head every time or I’ll say it wrong like a couple times in this vid.

Just realised I said front board the whole time. Oh well lol

Yeah man just gotta squeeze it in when you can, even if it’s just to warm up the joints. Think I landed a similar sketched out backside flip in my last video

@@averageskater900 yeah I just saw the video, love the park ya got there

@@shanehutchinson6350 This park is a nice little find. My usual local is also cool but is definitely made with bmx and blades in mind but it forces me to skate bigger obstacles and go faster.

That’s why that trick scares me. I broke my wrist doing that trick because the board randomly stuck. This was back when I was super confident with them so I was going kinda fast.

Hey, thanks!

Thanks you, it felt clean

Thank you

Thanks ✌

@@scizophrenic2602 yeah more or less. I can definitely tell the difference between with formula 4’s and other wheels. These snot wheels feel like most wheels in the price point. On the other extreme you can definitely tell when a wheel is really cheap as they flatspot after on power-slide and fell like you could pick them apart with your nails

tbh after skating this board I went back to a 8.25 polar with a 14.125 wheel base and loved it. Just set up another 8.38 and I live the width but it feels a lot like this jacuzzi with steep kicks and not many fingers of flat. I will probably just stick with polar boards in future as they always seem to have a decent price and a shape I really like

@@averageskater900 I've never skated a polar board 🛹 but defo wanna 👍 I've Just setup a 9 inch girl shaped board and really enjoying it but I wanna change my krux trucks for Slappy or Ace trucks 👍

They’re good. Can’t say they’re just as good as an F4 but they aren’t far off. It also feels liberating to be off the spitfire hype haha. The butt cheek was only sore for a day lol

@@averageskater900 slammed both my bum cheeks now sore AF ha ha 😂 I'm defo gonna give them a whirl 👍😎 want to try the 48mm lil boogers (I think that's what they're called 🤪) just for the fun of it he he 🤪

Were they riding the new x formula? Because Ive heard really good things about them. Not really ever enjoyed the stf.

@@averageskater900 I believe they were.

@@averageskater900 Currently riding them now and I can say they're great. They do start out as feeling like plastic, but after a session or two they feel like normal urethane. I got the 99a version, which they are still able to slide, but grip when you need them to. As advertised the 99a's are able to handle rougher ground compared to the STF formula due to the fact that they are softer than the STF's. They do come in a 97a version and currently only have three out of their 6 shapes in the x formula lineup, but I heard they are planning on adding more in the future. when it comes to price, at least here in the U.S, the price is relatively the same, however bones are a few bucks cheaper

I’ve tried bones and wayward. Wayward seems okay. I’m not really a fan of the bones stf tbh. Not sure why just feel to different to me I suppose
