Bounty #2

[@mikeuptegrove]

Challenging yourself in this way is something most skaters probably don’t do. We tend to get comfortable with our go-to tricks, and our skating evolves within the box of tricks we’re comfortable with. And that’s not a bad thing, guys like Tom Penny sorta embody that notion: had a bag of tricks, did them better and with more style than anyone else. You’ve been professionally consistent with virtually all the standard skate tricks, and that in itself is saying a lot, and it’s what use to define pro skating. But, this sort of practice with the consistency you have as a skater, and your ability to learn new things rapidly, will put you on a Marc Johnson, Guy Mariano, Daewon sorta trajectory…in the sense that it will widen your repertoire, reshape your style, and make you less predictable. It’s the sort of thing where you start to create a greater separation between you and other skaters. I think your commitment to becoming so consistent with the foundational tricks of skating, will make this next level of progression for you that much more tangible.

Loving this series

[@ZachDoelling]

Glad to hear it

[@josemares4024]

Hey the 360 flip tail slide was sick especially to fakie way smooth don't be too hard on yourself I'd take that in a heart beat.

[@DazedCutty]

Zach is the best ❤ funny I saw your comment. He’s working on part 3 still.

[@ZachDoelling]

Thanks man. Shit was rough so I am glad it went down, just could always be better!

[@Djomegaredtv]

Thumbs up if Powell should turn Zach pro! You're killing it Zach this series is dope! Deville, we need that Zach pro model day 1 of re asking!

[@Connor-xz7kn]

Zach won’t ever be pro because. Making KZbin videos where you can ninja kickflip doesn’t make you a pro. His street parts simply aren’t pro level. Idk why Powells new thing is pretending their KZbin skaters are better than they are. They’re all fun to watch skate and seem like nice guys. But almost none of them are pro skater caliber. Go watch Fun from 100 years ago and compare it to Chris doing a blunt kick flip fakie in a jersey barrier or Zach doing some flip trick down a 6 stair.

[@lamBETTERthanY0U]

Does powell even have pros besides andy anderson and cab

[@Djomegaredtv]

@ Spencer Simien

[@alexei4204]

Loving these difficult trick persistence videos + the jazz

[@ZachDoelling]

🙌🙌

[@beau5316]

Dude, holy shit. Your progress tricks are nuts! Loving the series homie

[@ZachDoelling]

Thanks my dude!

[@charlessawyer519]

For the difficulty every one of those tricks were very clean.

[@beau5316]

Finally got to watch the whole video. Hate to pause it, but my kiddos are superior 🙏🏻 love everything you do

[@StuffnThings42]

So good. What a great series. The kickflip, tail, heelflip was sick! What skatepark is that? It looks like an amazing spot.

[@paulwhite3377]

Really enjoying this series, man! Keep it coming and keep killin it.

[@kevinwolff8539]

I love this series . I know trying these can be stressful as hell but would love to see more of this in the future!

[@ryanrowe1975]

Great series!

[@AlexNiedt]

Love the Sam Dutzel shoutout! This video is amazing. Hope you're really proud of yourself for knocking all of these out. The nollie backside flip switch 5-0 is such a sick trick. I'm struggling with back tail kickflips (maybe I should start kickflipping in, haha), and this video gives me the inspiration to go work on them for a few hours this weekend. 😆

[@ZachDoelling]

Hell yeah you got those man, for me going to fakie is the move idk if you're trying to regular or not. Send it my way if you get it

[@fuhckerschite]

Diggin the jazz jams!

[@ZachDoelling]

Glad to hear it

[@djzonque4770]

Yes, gives a nice relaxing vibe

[@BrandonEverson]

Was getting so stoked for you watching these tricks! I’m gonna be skating indoors tomorrow and this video has me thinking about trying a random ledge trick I’ve been thinking about for a while! I love doing fakie fs smith grinds and wanna try fakie tre fakie fs smith…

[@thestinkyweasel6297]

solid, solid vid and soundtrack homie

[@ZachDoelling]

🙌🙌

[@robknowles4790]

Im Loving this trick hunting expedition, cool tunes too, keep it up

[@lukasboraski2729]

Foot lower forsure helps. I always thought with flip in stuff the trick has to be already done. It's a hard way to go about it but your really using your flip trick as the oillie. When you make those changes you board can kinda rocket and do weird things but it will make the board flip faster. After that it's small adjustments. Mostly timing. I know you a kickflip backtail guy. When you do that trick your so set up your not even thinking about the flick. It's already set. Your jump or Ollie and it just goes. But that's for one trick. Idk man this series is awesome. You definitely get me hyped all the time. I hope one day yall come to binghamton. I hope by then I'm back on a board.

[@ZachDoelling]

I think we will, eventually!! That would be super rad man.

[@tylerv8233]

This needs more views and likes!

[@Dominatesound909]

Love seeing you challenge yourself. Kickflip back tail heelflip out is so difficult.

[@ZachDoelling]

That one was tough for sure

[@allthepaint]

🛹🧙🏻‍♂️ the Dutzel shout out, legendary tricks going down and that mellow warm up swirling with the smooth jazz...🤌🤌🤌

[@ZachDoelling]

Hell yeah dude the legend had to show respect

[@DarkoNomad]

That flip bs tail heel to fakie is awesome.

[@michaeldiaz9999]

Zach Duffer Bounty Hunter is on the prowl.

[@ZachDoelling]

🙌🙌

[@DanielWhitaker-h8w]

dude, these tricks are insane. good job, to say the least.

[@ZachDoelling]

Thanks man they were hard

[@DanielWhitaker-h8w]

@ZachDoelling seriously tho, i can only imagine how difficult. like the biggerflip backside tailslide was so cool. i think that's what it's called, but nonetheless awesome

[@darth_kired]

These are the types of tricks you try in THPS, but only with all the cheatcodes on 😂😂😂 So sick that you're fully commiting to these

[@lukasboraski2729]

Kenny in the house. Always a good time!

[@ZachDoelling]

He inspires us all

[@skate_slack_juggle]

mad respect. super hard tricks man

[@SitKid721]

Some cowboy bebop vibs and im about it

[@joshuadansby2874]

This was sick to watch! Can you try an inward heel nose manny?

[@rubberfooty]

How consistent you flip Back tail is… crazy…😮

[@rubberfooty]

Indys again? 😅🤝

[@benfuhrer7858]

Your level of dedication is ridiculous, man. Props. I don't understand why you aren't Pro. Of any of the AMs on powell, you're absolutely there.

[@Dadbodcurbclub]

Still love the idea of this series doing a similar progression series on my TikTok keep it up man love watching you skate also def think you deserve to move up from that am spot 🤙🛹

[@Skateceramics]

tech king...

[@Schnarkel]

bro ripped his brain and still got the dang trick wowww

[@thomasriley2584]

Did the big flip tail do bigger flip??

[@zecollecter8747]

Again with the heist music🤣

[@rudawg310]

This was insane

[@ZachDoelling]

Thanks dude!

[@fashomixer]

Yep 20:20

[@ZachDoelling]

🙌

[@allanmacintyre6517]

Even the last trick the fact your 95% on the kickflip tail is bonkers you lock in nearly every time

[@jamesholloway1951]

Jesus Zach I needed a lay down after all of that 🛌😜

[@canonico]

Nice pop shove kenny

[@ZachDoelling]

👊

[@romktch17]

Nollie bs flip switch 5-0 is out of control, my god. *All of these tricks are absolutely incredible but something about a nollie bs flip switch 5-0 unsettles me

[@LGF2K]

🔥

[@SherlockHolmes-r8u]

Isn't that more of a bigger flip back tail than a 360 flip 😒🤔😏⁉️ I'm pretty sure it spun more than it's supposed to 🤯

[@ZachDoelling]

Yeah, it is. But also a Tre flip back tail. We discussed the trick before I did it so I knew the right one to do!

[@SherlockHolmes-r8u]

@ZachDoelling then I guess that's just the proper way and everyone else just does varial flip backtail 🤣

[@cyclopsentertainment517]

​@SherlockHolmes-r8u varial flip back tail and bigflip back tail is basically the same trick. The only difference is how you come out. If you come out to fakie as if your finishing the 180 in a bigflip then it's a bigflip back tail. If you go out to regular then it'd a varial flip back tail. At least that's my understanding of it.

[@smithersskatepark]

That was not a bigspin-blunt. That was a pop-shove-blunt. For a bigspin-blunt you have to land fakie for the bigspin to be a bigspin. (All bigspins land 180 from popped position) *If you think I am wrong, please tell me what a pop-shove-blunt is... But I am not wrong, so you'll have to re-do your bounty trick so that you don't swindle your challengers.

[@ZachDoelling]

Well you’re wrong, but it’s all good. Find the trick I did in any thrasher magazine sequence and see what the caption reads. You’ll never see anything other than bigspin blunt.

[@brandonw.2066]

@@ZachDoelling These keyboard warriors are wild. That trick was a bigspin blunt and was great.

[@ZachDoelling]

@@brandonw.2066it’s all good, I understand why he thinks it’s a shove blunt, and it is that combination of tricks. Skateboarding names are weird tho and we know this is of course a Bigspin blunt

[@smithersskatepark]

@@ZachDoelling What is a pop-shove blunt slide then? Think about the logic. Not what mainstream perpetuates. The way mainstream names tricks nullifies many tricks that should exists and confuses people. Thrasher captions are wrong more often than not.

[@ZachDoelling]

@@smithersskateparkwell here is my logic, I know better to argue with someone who thinks every am, pro, and skate publication is wrong and they are right. You got me 😂

[@JeffBryski]

Right on bro bro nothing wrong with learning new tricks , great discipline.. Flipping with your foot a little lower on the board most definitely worked…. Gnarly video Keep posting you’re a great skater. 🛹 🤙🏻

[@ZachDoelling]

Thank you

[@Wh33lsofFortune]

Hell yeah! I was waiting for this video. 🤙🏻🛹

[@ZachDoelling]

Fuck yeah

[@Wh33lsofFortune]

@ZachDoelling good music selection too btw.
