hey justin new name?

[@NeverStopImprovingSB]

Good catch! After about a month, I'm going to change the name to just "NSI Skateboarding" and leave my name off of it for good. Everyone seemed to be having a tough time spelling it properly! haha I decided to just bite the bullet and change it to something easier to say and spell. Cheers!

Nice. Whats NSI stand for?

It stands for "never stop improving"

Just picked up a board for the first time in my early 40s. You just instantly gave this old guy confidence to try some of these tricks. Thanks. Peace.

[@NeverStopImprovingSB]

Much appreciated and best of luck!

[@larenius1]

23 years, bought a skateboard 3 days ago after I gave up with the age of 14. I'm already more comfortable pushing the board than back then after a month or so

[@chair805]

StonerKage ok big man

[@SloppySlushy]

StonerKage I seen someone learn the heel flip before the Ollie so that’s 🧢

[@karlosxzy]

Firecracker and slappy nose slide are two good functional and flowy tricks for parks and street. Definitely worth mastering. And that 360 shuv looked cool!

[@ProgressSkateboarding]

I find the fakie shuvit easier than the nollie, but that's just me. I really want to give slappy noselides a go. Great video, Justin :)

[@NeverStopImprovingSB]

That's interesting! I agree that using your usual back foot to 'pop' it does make it feel a lot more familiar, but being able to ride away in normal stance is more important to me because I always seem to over or under rotate and I find it harder to recover from that in fakie stance. Appreciate the comment man, and keep up the great work on your channel!

[@Back4Fungame]

0:02 at first I was thinking, that you were going to say, that the kickflip is actually an easy trick, but nobody in the right mind would say that (seriously) :D Nice compilation so far, I love all of those easy tricks -- some of them (railflip, slappy noseslide, caveman fingerflip) require some good practice though to land them super clean and nice

[@NeverStopImprovingSB]

Right on brother! I really do believe in my heart that once I get off these crutches I'll finally be able to skate again. I'm hoping in a couple of months I'll be out there rolling around again with ya 🤘

[@skateordie9628]

@@NeverStopImprovingSB Wait what? crutches? I went to your channel and I saw you were doing workout videos, which I think is perfectly fine, but to me you were like the Bob Ross of skateboarding, incredibly talented in its art and phenomenally gifted as a teacher. So I thought huh, he moved on to fitness. Good for the fitness people! What's that with crutches? Did something happen to you?

[@NeverStopImprovingSB]

Yessir, those workout videos were from before I got confirmation that I ruptured my plantar fascia in my left foot. Explains the pain I've had for all this time! Crutches for 1 more week and then cane for a month and I should be healed 🤞 Thanks for saying all of that nice stuff brother, very helpful to me and motivating 🤜🤛

Man, those tricks look hard.

[@jakestockton4808]

Slappy nose slides on red curbs are always fun.

[@edifatkinson7641]

I bought a skateboard online and it came yesterday, I had some experience from a few years ago ( I was like 8-10 I can’t remember) so I was comfortable on the board. And I LOVE it so much! I’ve spent like 8 hours outside in the last two days. My board is my new best friend

[@NeverStopImprovingSB]

Loving the hype Edith 🤙

[@edifatkinson7641]

Never Stop Improving thanks! I can’t get the Ollie right I’m not getting high enough do you have any tips ?

[@NeverStopImprovingSB]

@@edifatkinson7641 A lot of it has to do with the timing of sliding your front foot up at exactly the right instant, which will certainly get better with A LOT of practice (trust me, the ollie takes FOREVER to nail down, but once you do, the good news is that learning all the other tricks is going to be an easier task).

[@edifatkinson7641]

Never Stop Improving thank you ! I’ll keep on going

[@ratboyOwO]

something dumb and fun to do that I learned is a finger flip into drop in. Start with just you back foot on the tail with the board over what you want to drop in on, do a finger flip by grabbing on the nose of the board, then land with your weight on the tail and your front foot on the board, then drop in.

The nollie shove is way easier when you can ride and have board control, but as a beginner fakie shuvs are usually easier. All in all awesome video though finger flips are still fun and I can do a couple flip tricks

Tre flip should be on the list. That trick is very overrated but once you get the right amount of shove its so easy

[@corbingreen9048]

He switched up frontside and backside

[@NeverStopImprovingSB]

I'm so glad you're questioning that :) It's actually a very commonly confused topic. For nollie stance tricks, rotations are referred to in the same way as normal and switch stance tricks: If you turn your body in a way such that 90 degrees into the turn, you're facing the direction you're travelling, it's a frontside rotation, and 90 degrees into a backside rotation, your back would be facing the direction of travel. The same thing applies even if it's just your board that's rotating. The only oddball in the group is fakie stance tricks, which match their normal stance counterparts, so a fakie frontside 180 would involve turning your body the same way as you would for a normal stance frontside 180. If it helps at all, I also put together a very in-depth video on the topic, which covers carving, flatground, mini ramp, ledge, and rail tricks, that you can view by clicking this link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnLEc2CojqtsiZo ...and if you need an outside reference to validate this information, I recommend this wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontside_and_backside Cheers!
