5 SIMPLE STEPS TO MASTER BOWL SKATING

[@ZackDowdy]

Shoutout to the skateparks that are open after work!! Crushing it big Al.

[@BigAlSkateTutorials]

Love you Dowdy thanks for all your support

For those trying to learn these skills: wearing pads and helmet will help you learn way faster. Not only do they give youConfidence, but they keep you from bailing too soon. Additionally, they keep you from getting injured as much and therefore you don’t have downtime from trying to recover. I agree that It’s OK to start taking them off once you’ve mastered the trick.

[@markrivers4179]

Brilliant. Bowls are my thing. I mean I just carve round and get some grinds but I love it.. When you see someone skate like this though it really makes you realise how good you have to be to skate this well.

[@psychonautcentral7924]

Cool vid homie. Been skating transition for 6 years and nobody ever told me loose trucks are better for pool skating, ive been tightening mine when going from street to transition and wondering why its so hard for me to turn stalls into grinds... lol

[@BigAlSkateTutorials]

Thanks homie! Ya man loosening them tricks will make the world of difference you’ll see!!

[@AustinSK8NYC]

Killing it man!!! I actually just filmed a video about this as well!!! Hyped to show love to bowl and transition skating. I’m trying to get better at it, so I appreciate all your wisdom and hard work. It doesn’t go un noticed 💪🏽💪🏽🔥🙏🏽

[@kaynehunter8098]

I skate here all the time! I want to see you rip that thing Irl…so good 👍

[@andersbraathen1256]

Awesome skating and style! What song is that sound like a more hardcore Dire Straits

[@marcelo4741]

Nice video! Being a taller skateboarder, i always like to see taller or heavier guys riding. What's you board setup? And your height, weight, shoe size? Thanks!

[@BigAlSkateTutorials]

Thanks homie! 8.75 or 9 board size 6’6 height 185 weight and 12 shoe size

[@Marco_980]

Thanks Al, what a great hack! Let your shoulders guide you. You and Zack Dowdy have great tips! I have some bones 60mm Peralta wheels on the way! I'm looking forward to skating with them. I'm a street skater trying to improve my transition skating that's all...

[@Marble_Tree]

Your skating is one of my biggest inspirations right now, id love to be able to hit pools like that, starting to get it but all i have so far is slashes and carves in vert bowl, cant seem to get the lines right in pools though I always lose my speed.

[@BigAlSkateTutorials]

Big love homie! Appreciate you reaching out! Ya figuring lines out can be a long process, I think just trying to stay to wall is good and pumping up and down each wall really helps maintain the speed. As long as you have speed you can basically do any line you want. But will def be making more videos soon covering all that! Keep skating and going for it, you got it✊

[@Marco_980]

​@@BigAlSkateTutorialswheel size makes a difference as well from our heard in tandem with loose trucks. It's tough skating 54mm wheels with tight trucks in transition 😆 lol

[@muimuhadresh3986]

man your skills are on fire.

[@felixdrucker]

Thank you for making this, super helpful

[@koenstokman3200]

Do you have any tips on falling in case you do hang up?

[@BigAlSkateTutorials]

Very good question. If you do hang up I’d say the best bet is to avoid an initial splat and usually hang up slams are head first so I think the easiest way for me personally is ticking and rolling. If I can get my arms in front Of me before falling I can use my arms to help me tuck and then roll out of the hang up, but hang ups happen so quick so it’s sometimes hard to react quick enough to save oneself. Hope that may help !

[@koenstokman3200]

@@BigAlSkateTutorials Thanks, definitely helpful!

[@JillySkates]

Do people really call you big Al? I call myself Jilly on youtube but no one actually calls me that.. People say it's not cool to give yourself a nickname. I think it's okay. What do you think Big Al? Also, you shred that bowl!!!

[@ZackDowdy]

Everyone that I know calls him Big Al!

[@lowenderjones]

and it's definitely uncool to give yourself a nickname

[@JillySkates]

@@lowenderjones I just want a nickname 😥 Wait.. Does everyone call you Lowender? Or did you.... you know.... Give yourself that name? That'd be pretty uncool

[@JillySkates]

@@ZackDowdy that's good enough for me! Big Al it is!

[@lowenderjones]

@@JillySkates never said I wasn't uncool

[@paulbridgman3437]

Hey AI gods on your side even when you slam… Because he’s the one helping you get back up thanks for the video!

[@Damon-v6h]

Skating big bowls without pads is wild

[@amberruby4896]

Just one thing,,, the music is way loud but I can't really hear you speak. Be better if the music was slightly quieter maybe 👍
