Beginner Skate Progress - Ledges and Nose Slides!

[@igotopinions4523]

I got a hot tip for you on rolling shuvs. As you are about to scoop, shift your board so it's going diagonally opposite the way you are scooping. This creates a nice counter balance and gets them feeling really comfy.

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Nice one thanks 🙏

[@StuffnThings42]

Wow! Amazing progress. That’s not a small ledge. Keep at it. You’ll be doing solid 50-50s in no time. Then there’s those nose slides. Great start! If you can commit to putting almost all your weight on the front foot, you’ll have those too. Keep it up. 👊👍

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

@@StuffnThings42 thanks dude!! The goal is to get consistent with these higher ledges to open up more obstacles at the park and eventually street spots! Same with the nose slides, I just want to have more options available to me 😃 plus they look really fun. Scarier than I thought to commit though and easy to miss and get the accidental board slide!!

[@VintageSk8]

Here I have been trying to Ollie up things, I should probably try and Ollie off of something, you're Ollies are so solid!

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

@@VintageSk8 I find it actually helps to Ollie off the thing before Ollie on it, helps to gauge the height!

[@Ungracefulmovement]

Hat’s off mate. New challenges!

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

@@Ungracefulmovement cheers mate!!

[@simonvidetta1976]

Nose slides, nice one!

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Yeah excited to progress these!

[@billandhisboard]

You'll be nosesliding the ledge in no time man!😀😀🛹

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

@@billandhisboard I hope so that'd be sick!

"he's giving me his 10 inch" over sharing a bit there don't you think? 😜 Nice work on the 2nd step axle stall, pop shuvs are coming along nicely as well. Noseslides can be pretty brutal, every time I try them I think I'm getting somewhere til I have an awkward slip then I'll be back to square one 🤦 that's just me though I'm scared of everything 🤣 Keep at it mate, you're making some amazing progress 👊

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Thanks Da, yeah the slip out on nose slides is scary 😱

[@KieranClarkSkates]

Mate tonnes of progress in this one. Your ollies are massive mate, more than enough pop to get you onto any ledge in that park once you get the timing down. Try coming at less of an angle that way you don’t have to swing the back truck all the way round onto it if you catch my drift. Noseslides are looking good too, definitely got them. I wouldn’t recommend spending too much time trying to be me, I definitely don’t 😂

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

@@KieranClarkSkates 😂 approaching at that angle stems from skating curbs as a kid, I find it so much easier than trying to Ollie sideways but it's definitely something I need to work on that will improve my skating loads

[@KieranClarkSkates]

@ I get it mate, I did the same thing when I started 50s for the same reasons. Changing the angle just really unlocked the consistency for me.

[@Fenfilms]

Good skating there mate.

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

@@Fenfilms cheers mate! Feel like I'm pushing into the next level now but it's going to take some work 💪🛹

[@WonkyDuckSk8s]

Great video bud fully agree that is a timing and commitment thing you got some bangers on this episode tho and I see i hot atleast 1 nice ollie on the hip lol

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

@@WonkyDuckSk8s you got great Ollie on the hip, some really nice ones down the steps and some standard ducky slams 😄

[@WonkyDuckSk8s]

@DadLeisureSkateboarding gotta have the ducky slams lol

[@spooks1851]

This is some awesome progress man! I wanna start getting comfortable with noseslides on ledges but that manny pad is awkward to noseslide from a goofy stance lmao

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

@@spooks1851 thanks mate! yeah it's annoying that hip is there it's the same for me with 5050s.

[@amskateboards]

Love this video. You can really see your progress in this one as you skate loads of different parts of the skatepark. The axle on the 2 set was really good. As for locking in on different size ledges I feel your pain. I have the same issue. It doesn't really seem to matter what the height is the results seem the same. There is only 1 curb where I feel like I can lock into most times without issues like this, which is strange, as I can go to somewhere else of a similar height then struggle. On a side note "Luke is giving me his 10 inch" 😲

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Yeah I think I need to learn to overshoot the ledge rather than just get my feet on!

[@jackbenson9884]

You're killing it. What skatepark are you at? Looks sick

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

@@jackbenson9884 thanks it's Ramp1 Warrington UK 😎

[@boardtrippin]

Nice session, already with the new cam? That ledge is quite high! While last time I said stick with the big deck, here _maybe_ it'd be good to try the 8.25 just because of less weight and overall dimensions - to just simply land it easier first, than go back to your regular board.

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

The thought crossed my mind with the smaller deck for this! I will try it next time 😎 yes this was the new camera but I had a few teething issues getting used to it. Next vid will look better 😀🛹

[@boardtrippin]

@DadLeisureSkateboarding It records great (only that maybe you should wait a sec before it finds the focus)! What type?

[@FirstPersonSkater]

Man these trucks on the Egg with those wheels look comically long. "Goofy ahh trucks" as the kids say 🤣

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Yeah they are too big 😆

[@RidiculousAU]

time to add wax to the budget

[@deadleads]

You could Ollie south easy.

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

@@deadleads it's never crossed my mind but yeah maybe! I'll give it a go!
