5 Things Every Bowl Skater Needs to Know

[@SaintLoser314]

I love how you don’t clickbait your videos with “secrets” and “hacks”. There is no cheating in skateboarding, you just have to put the work in and not take the easy route

[@SKATEiQ]

glad you noticed that. trying to give people the tools but there are no shortcuts thats for sure

[@burger1113]

​@@SKATEiQ that's funny because your content has acted as a hack and secret for a lot of things I've had trouble with or what I felt out of reach lol Of course, it still takes practice, dealing with fear, and all that. Way way less of them, though!

[@cstpa1]

right this is completely clickbait free and i love it. no goofy hacks or "trends"

[@jguth6]

@@SKATEiQi swear your videos are so good they feel like shortcuts. I'm learning again at 33 and I've learned more at 33 with your videos than I ever did when I was younger without anything to follow when I was 15

[@Sno7373anon]

Same her 35 and loving getting back into it. Just got home from riding at the indoor park in Seattle.​@@jguth6

[@fademusic1980]

I still cant believe mitchie brusco is teaching us how to skate. He's so good yet he takes the time to make these videos and train the groms IRL. Seriously hats off dude, you are a credit to skateboarding as a whole

[@SKATEiQ]

Thank you! it means a lot. We love making these videos and were always trying to improve. glad you liked it

[@Tricklarock]

Right?!?! The dood is amazing!

[@louie1944]

I've almost exclusively been skating bowls as a beginner, and every few days I'll re-watch your previous video to solidify the points in my mind. I'm so glad you've released another one, and I can already tell how much this will help me. Thanks mate 🤙🏽

[@labelkilled]

Awesome delivery. You’re the best at breaking it down into digestible parts.

[@SKATEiQ]

thank you!

[@ferdinandsuwandi6179]

Thanks Mitchie. I just skate again at 48 after 30 years of brake. Still struggles with cornering in a bowl, and your videos help. Regards from jakarta.

[@danielgron8954]

I wish you had a spot or a representative site in Vegas. The way you eloquently and intrinsically describe every aspect of what you're trying to convey is truly what's missing from the skateboard community. If there were more people and entities that had this level of passion, knowledge, ability to convey complex ideas and techniques, as well as being hands on and in the mix; the world of skateboarding would quickly develop amd florist even more so than we've seen in the last decade. God bless.

[@SKATEiQ]

thank you Daniel! hopefully we will make it to Vegas one day. we hope this will have a big impact on skateboarding over the next decade, appreciate the support

[@coborin]

There are very few videos on ball rides and verticals in Japan. I'm grateful that you showed me this video. What I want to know about ball rides is that you can reach the very edge of the coping, but you can't grind. Also, backside is relatively easy, but frontside feels very difficult. Please continue to show videos of ball rides and verticals. My goal is to be able to do backside airs and grinds. How do you move your eyes to get to the backside air? How do you move your arms to get to the backside air? I'm looking forward to your videos. I'm cheering for you from Japan. Thank you.

[@phildapunk70]

Thanks Mitchie for another great video. I’ve never thought about the bowl designer, putting in features to help me in the bowl. I always thought I have to adapt to this new bowl. Thanks for the change in perspective

[@SKATEiQ]

Awesome! thats great to hear. Thanks for the support

[@WeAreJustWhatever]

I love that sk8 Charleston bowl!

[@chown-r]

How do you not have more subs? your teaching style is amazing and your delivery is perfect. I am a total beginner still wobbly on flat ground but your vids are what has inspired me to try transiton/bowls and very when i start to get my balance.

[@SKATEiQ]

Hopefully we just keep growing!

[@MrR0bert0o]

As someone of solely skates transition but doesn't have access to a vert ramp, this is gold! Love the videos. I hope we get to see more like this in the future.

[@yocoachfred9932]

Mitchie brings a storm wherever he goes, literally and figuratively. It's either so cold you can see his breath or windy af but he always shows up and delivers.

[@SKATEiQ]

hahaha the subtitles were a must for this video. wind was whipping

[@natooo8312]

Man this is really aweome, thanks for sharing. Ive been really struggling with a wee bowl with only a 6ft deep and 3ft shallow. I think ive got to use the hips more and try stay high through the shallow. Also the greyed out espresso pull cracked me up!

[@SKATEiQ]

haha we dont joke about bad coffee. glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Wallrider420]

I’m currently working on vert skills and also I’m learning how to think as vert skater through this videos. Thank you skateiq.

[@SKATEiQ]

Hope it helps 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@clayrock78]

I love your skateboarding, coaching style, tips, ALL OF IT ! Thank you for blessing us with this content.

[@burtmcgurt3584]

You deserve every follower you get. If I had this in the 1990's who knows how good I would be!

[@HikingGnocchi]

I just wanna thank you for these videos. It’s insane how I can just catch onto what you’re saying as if im on the board as you speak. I hope you keep it up man!

[@ChantzPeterson]

What a real one he doesn't look down at all when skating real g

[@navyplumberboy8274]

I saw you at jackalope yesterday giving the kids some pointers. I miss skateboarding. I think i capped out on progressing at age 26. I'm now 29 and i just couldn't get better. So now I'm skydiving. I was with the skydivers yesterday.

[@BobGuido]

Thank you so much for making these instructional videos Mitchie Brusco. You're an unbelievably spectacular skater. I have been watching you skate since you were a small but mighty kid in total awe and wonderment. They just built a brand new Duo-Bowl across the street from my apartment and it's a really good park because it has a small 3.5FT and a 7FT bowl, which makes it really great for learning. I've learned how to drop in properly and carve the bowl with a few good lines and maintain my momentum and do my kick turns properly, when I need to kick turn. Your videos on kick turning properly are gold. I really appreciate the expert help and you're a fantastic teacher, which really makes a huge difference. I really want to learn how to backside 5050 grind in the bowl because of how it will allow me to maintain speed and become a segue to so many other things. I've been trying really hard, but I'm struggling to get my trucks on the coping in the correct manner where I can lock into a proper grind. I get my back truck over the coping with the heel side wheel just over it, and elevate my body to get on top of the coping, but I'm struggling to get the front truck on the coping and then glide. When I try to get my front truck on and stand up straight for the grind, I keep winding up falling off my board onto the platform at the top of the bowl, or into the bowl and bailing. I have practiced dropping in from a 5050 stance with my tucks on the coping in cross-lock position, and that I can do, but getting into the grind seems to be my main problem. I see a lot of others at the park struggling with this too and doing the same thing, falling back onto the platform and out of the bowl, or falling into the bowl. Sorry for the length of this message and I know that a 5050 is a very basic maneuver and for you, probably like playing a major scale on a piano for a professional musician, but if you could do a detailed video on how to get into a backside 5050 grind correctly on transition, that would be absolutely amazing. I'll keep watching no matter what your videos are about because I learn a lot from all of them, even the ones that are way beyond my ability. I can't believe that you're on KZbin teaching skateboarding!

[@Rickyiz11]

I think you’re going to be the new Braille skateboarding. Hopefully you don’t do Scientology lol

[@cleveeakin2351]

Mitchie as always you explain things so well, and it makes total sense. thank you mate

[@SkateboarderOnTheInternet]

Thank you so much for these videos they have helped me get a better feeling and more speed in the bowl

[@SKATEiQ]

Awesome! happy to help

I’ve never skated in my entire life. But your videos make me want to learn skateboarding. I just turned 29. Thanks for the motivation

Ohhh that's my issue. I haven't been floating 6ft late grabs to redirect my line choice. :) Awesome video as always Mitchie and @skateiq

Would absolutely love to be able to learn under a guy like Mitchie. You couldn't ask for a better teacher

[@bigwave7207]

Mitchie thanks for putting out these videos. You do a great job explaining stuff. The little details in body positions, technique and approach are making a big difference for my skating. Any chance you could cover kickturns? Doesn’t sound very glamorous I’m sure , but I’m in my 40s still skating and kick turns always feel awkward for me. Thanks again for all your hard work with these tutorials!

[@Pacificarus]

If you ever want a quick boost in viewership that actually helps your community, make a playlist system that allows us to navigate your videos easier

[@Pacificarus]

I was trying to find bowl specific or surfskate specific stuff, for myself and beginner stuff to help me teach my gf, it would be easier for me to find the videos that I want to watch the most (highest viewer retention).

[@kalebl0ng]

Would love to see an in depth tutorial on front side carves in the bowl can do fine backslide but struggle fs and a tutorial on airing on hips

[@Tuurts]

I love your content Thank you so much again Iwatch all your shorts too!

[@Tricklarock]

Hey MB!!! I would be very appreciative if you could do a vid about grinding/getting used to pool coping?!! I have been skating about 39-40 years now, and I never had access to a bowl or ramp that had pool coping. Now that I have the opportunity, I'm totally uncomfortable with it and have a total mental block. Sometimes I'll do 50-50 carve grinds by accident in the deep end where it's easier to get in/out of them. I have no problem with regular coping, but pool blocks throw a meant block up. There are a few other people I know that have the same handicap, so I'm sure there's gotta be many others in internet land? You're videos are great, and hopefully you see this comment, cuz I'm sick of holding back and not grinding - I've been skating long and well enough to where I should be grinding most of my carves?!?! Thanks in advance, and keep up the quality vids!!! - Jeff

[@CollieCam]

Thanks for uploading

[@addisonboards]

Love your videos! Working my way through the mini ramp series now. Would love to skate with you someday!

[@SKATEiQ]

Awesome dude! Im sure we will one day!

[@Jonny_Nemo]

Any chance we could get some tips on your suggested starter set up for bowl? Especially wheel size and truck tightness. And thanks for the best, and most easy to understand, tips I've ever seen!

[@thornite]

I'd like to do a thanks. Your skills are appreciated, and what you share is awesome. I'm now aspiring to do the skills you share. As a born again sk8er, I just hope I can remember this cool stuff when it comes time to play. Thanks :)

[@GTFC_]

Im brand new to skateboarding at 39 your channels awesome

[@PuertoRicanRattlesnake]

I love how the video is pre-captioned

[@Anthonyhancock71]

Great job. What was it 20yrs ago now I was teaching you on the RDS ramp. 🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇨🇦

[@TheSkaBouncer]

USE CHALK to draw out your lines in the bowl! It gives you a visual guide for where you want to go, can help you establish better habits for building speed, and unlocks a lot of creative potential! A little knowledge of physics can help you visualize better speedlines & trajectories!

[@TheSkaBouncer]

Also you get to make free, unlimited, temporary art & graffiti that washes away every time it rains!

[@leng-gi1wr]

This is amazing

[@cdre6747]

Awesome dude.

[@RichGANG-l9b]

Would you do a video on how ollie over small to larger obstacles like the roll up foot position and where your eyes are looking?

[@cedricclark5531]

Thank you 🥲.

[@namesurname8423]

You are like a GOD SEND for my autistic/adhd brain. Im learning so much and I feel that knowledge transferring to my skills. Many times I was doing something on my skateboard and I literally FELT exact thing you are explaining (different video, nvm). I'm planning to build proper bowl/ramp skateboard, do you have any tips/recommendations? Im not sure what wheels would be perfect? Should I go with 55mm 100A? or maybe 60mm and bit softer? Independent trucks gonna be ok? Board size 8'5 I guess (thats what I ride now) maybe a bit bigger? Concave? I don't want to dive again into the internet and search for opinions of people who probably have less knowledge then me. I want speed and I don't like flips that much. So I'm looking for something stable.

Hey Mitchie! Thanks for all the great content! Was wondering if you could post something to help me with frontside carving through corners and pools. I’ve been skating for years and started out with street and am now trying to dial in more transition. I am confident with bs carving but for some reason I feel very awkward and unstable with my fs. There isn’t too much content out there about this and would really appreciate it if you had some tips! Thanks!

[@Stoons_Studio]

are you gonna come to sk8 charleston again i really wanted to meet you but i didnt get there in time

[@YOLOnyc]

Hi, could you please make a video on how to skate faster? Seems trivial, but some skaters can just pick up crazy speed really fast and air out of a bowl or go up to the top of a big ramp coming from a flat surface - how are they getting that speed?? Inquiring minds want to know :)

[@danocuac]

Why no in depth detail on how to Ollie/bonk on vert my back foot constantly comes off when I bonk a frontside tuck knee would appreciate it

[@michaelmiguel6937]

Do you wear knee sleeves? And do they prevent knee pads from slipping?

[@ccjonesrevival]

Is there an element of kick turning when you go high in the bowl?

[@maxcyhicks875]

Sk8 Charleston.

[@enerian4525]

Hey mitchie sorry You got me confused. Watching your Air tutorials You say often we should get off Our toes. Watching you skate the bowl you mostly stand on your toes with your backfoot. Is this a difference between bowl and vert or just between carving and airing out? Hope i made IT clear What i mean. Tanks for taking the time. Ive spended the last weeks trying to Not stand on my toes in the miniramp and in the bowl. So im guessing i got you wrong!? Thanks again
