Can't Progress While Skateboarding? TRY THIS!

[@KyleAndersonSkates]

That last tip is huge! Trying a new obstacle/style can be frustrating but also lowers the bar to get that progression dopamine!

[@AustinSK8NYC]

Yes!!! Got to be humbled and take it back to the roots. Exactly like you said lowering the bar and expectations on ones self is key 🙏 hope everything has been well on yourside man!! Much love always 💪

[@robertborden2666]

I try to jump over to some fundamental that I know I’ve missed. If it helps to write some down and keep in your car or wallet. Get stuck, pull out your list of things you probably should know better but don’t and work for that small win and then snowball!

[@timmyturtles9670]

I love skateboarding but its frustrating that one day my ollie is good and the next day is like I completely forgot

[@AustinSK8NYC]

I know the feeling! Happens to the best of us!

[@spank4k]

I feel U💯💪🏾🛹

[@eliplayzz7809]

Me exact reason I looked this up

[@donovanhays]

100% I'm 37 and been skating for about 1.5 years. I have a pretty solid and consistent ollie but some days I'll just be jumping off the board and get no pop yet I can do other ollie based tricked. Couple weeks ago I was working on board slides and was getting on the rail every single time. Rail was like 18" so not tall but definitely not short. I couldn't get a decent ollie for the life of me that day. I couldn't comprehend wtf was going on lol.

[@SwagLQ]

Same, when I have that problem of consistency, i usually just rest a little bit, and try it again, keep the grinding

[@binqx6286]

yeah man skating with friends is basically how I first learned to kick flip because of the constant enthusiasm and positive energy your friends will bring.

[@AustinSK8NYC]

Yea it had been one of the biggest drivers of my skating for a while. Definitely does help alot!!

[@coltmaclean9092]

dude. you have a future in this industry. please keep making videos. you’re bringing something to KZbin that no one else is.

[@AustinSK8NYC]

This honestly means alot to me man thank you!! I'm trying hard to be be as authentic to me as I can and make some great videos for y'all! Much love 💪🙏🙏

[@_DaCosmic_Light]

Yeah this Man Speaks Truth

[@snoozyshemp]

saw ur tiktok videos at first, never knew u made youtube content, love the vibe man fr u gotta keep expanding ik youll make it huge

[@AustinSK8NYC]

Thank you man!! I really appreciate that!! I'll see if I make longer tutorial videos as well as shorts 💪🙏

[@tictaktoes]

Quit skateboarding because of mental health issues not realizing how being there everyday for years with the homies helped my mental health (and physical health) tremendously. Just starting again now but I am in a whole new city, hopefully I can find some homies to skate with because that definitely push you forward. Any crazy gap or crazy trick I learned was never because I hyped myself to it, it was always the homies telling me I could do it. Is crazy how much we can sell ourselves short and the homies definitely help you see that, off the ramp going really fast I was getting about 6ft air with indy’s but if we put a cone in the way I’d miss it lol In situations like that I always had somebody show me how I was tripping and get me to commit and do it.

[@benjaminyoud6214]

Nice one man, I needed this reminder! Definitely been feeling stuck lately, and the first and second points are totally why! Always feels so much better skating with friends, and focusing on landing one trick! 🙌

[@lyallfreeman1330]

I love your style!! So aggressive and controlled. I've not been enjoying skating as much because I literally cant commit to anything new, this video has inspired me, well and truly! I havent had a bad slam in a while and I miss it :'(

[@AustinSK8NYC]

Sometime it's like that! That feeling of falling can make you feel alive for sure 💪💪 I appreciate the compliment man and thank you for the support! You definitely got this💪🙏🙏🔥

[@robertborden2666]

I agree! Sometimes you need a good slam to remind you that when you slam, you always always always can, and do, get back up.

[@nikomarttinen5717]

I’ve been skating for over 10 years and I’ve figured out why I’m not progressing. It’s so simple I’m just not trying😂

[@AustinSK8NYC]

Sometimes it like that but self awareness is key and the first part!!

[@TheForgottenBorough]

love when you incorporate your skating into the videos. i really enjoyed this one ❤️‍🔥

[@AustinSK8NYC]

Yooo thank you so much!!! Definitely going to start incorporating more skating into my video from here on out 🙏🙏🙏

[@000-y6l6c]

your content is awesome (on all platforms) bro keep it up you're gonna get a lot of success from this you are great on what you do!

[@AustinSK8NYC]

Thank you!! I took a quick break but I’m gonna get back into it!!

[@MichaelScootNorwesh]

Nice video. Refreshing to see someone who actually can skate a bit give advice. Front tail big and those big spin boards were nice!

[@AustinSK8NYC]

Yeoooo thank you so much!!! I'll try to bring some more heat in my clips haha. It was a mellow session but I really do appreciate you saying that🙏🙏

[@MichaelScootNorwesh]

@@AustinSK8NYC I’ve haven’t tried this style of content in a long time. Now i typically end up just making street parts. These vids make me want to try some similar content. Keep it up!

[@joshuakim802]

First tip is super helpful, I'm gonna try and get tricks on every obstacle at my park, 2nd tip is tough, cause my homies now live off continent, and 2 stopped skating. But my homies came down for December season and I really understand the hyping each other up, cause I've been skating the down rail more and sending it Switch more Good video

[@xavierbaez9546]

Ahh yes the days where we skated transition together back in nyc was seriously soo fun…I have to visit you soon so we can skate and hype each other up like old times

[@AustinSK8NYC]

Thank you familia!! Yes that was so much fun!! We really did help push each other for sure 💪💪 we will shred again soon!!!

[@thegamingillustrator]

I legit learned a basic power slide entirely because I wanted to improve on something even though my legs were too tired to try and practice my ollies too well.

[@vision_dgn]

honestly i've been skating for 6 years in lowkey really bad for the amount of time i have been skating but I still love it I honestly don't even know why its get the best escape from reality.

[@TridentArmyy]

Epic video!! ❤️‍🔥🎥🛹

[@AustinSK8NYC]

Thank you familia!!!

[@AldensAntlers]

bro you've got the steeze got the swag

[@AustinSK8NYC]

Yooo 😭😭 I appreciate that thank you!!! People always say I don't so it means a lot haha

[@AldensAntlers]

@@AustinSK8NYC lol of course man. Yeah I noticed you hit things with speed and your bag of tricks is pretty good

[@DeflectTheOriginal]

Biggest thing in not progressing is your ego and worrying to much on what people think of you... i fjnd most people dont pop tricks or practice what they are not good at due to people watching.. witch then puts you in a spot where you are skating alone with no motivation to do so... witch then leaves one to give up or remain where they are

[@Dink_master_fishing]

I progress very slowly but I little do I know how much I’m actually learning just doing the tricks I already know. I learned how to roll in and I wasn’t even scared I guess cuz I am very comfortable on the board

[@AustinSK8NYC]

Progression fast or slow is progression! Proud of you💪💪🙏 keep on pushing!

[@QuackyJr]

love the videos

[@AustinSK8NYC]

Thank you man!!!

[@xer0222]

the problem is where am at, no one skates so its hard to find people that also skate

[@AustinSK8NYC]

I 100 percent feel you on that!!! 💪💪🙏🙏 The next best way is through social media and trying to get clips for each other to show on the interwebs 💪

[@ayygYT]

thanks austin

[@sowy9352]

I got my heelflips so good then next minute It's like a completely forgot shit was so depressing

[@Alskie666]

I noticed you havent been uploading on instagram. (Just found your youtube) in a few months. Hope everything is going good?

[@AustinSK8NYC]

Hey I appreciate you reaching out!!! I’m going to film a video about it soon. Got burnt out and needed to figure out a few life choices but I’m currently filming and will be back on it soon!!💪💪👍

[@StayBlessed87]

No disrespect but you look like a heavy set dude reason why I stopped skating and never progressed. But I’m seriously thinking about getting back into it at 34 which is crazy I know but I need y’all to hype me up! 🤞🔥

[@mikarrrrrrgh1969]

just go for it !!! I know plenty of skaters who started again at even older ages and they always say that they don't regret it the slightest :)

[@SkateAndExplore817]

Good tips

[@AustinSK8NYC]

Thank you!!!

[@dalealeale2638]

Hey Austin I know that this is unrelated to this video and that I might be annoying you but I bought some dkl gen 7 grip on Christmas and set it up but sadly it has almost peeled up completely and I can’t skate it 😢. I inset it more than a quarter of an inch and yet after flip tricks and bowl skating it has peeled of the board. I feel like it was a problem from the skate shop in Australia, didn’t buy it straight from dkl. To describe it there is two parts, the glue base and the rubber base. It hasn’t peeled like other people have experience but the rubber has let go of the glue base (the glue base hasn’t peeled up like others have witnessed). I hope you can give me some advice and I am going to write a letter to the skate shop and dkl skateboarding. Peace out Dale ✌️🤘

[@dalealeale2638]

Also I have had the old version of this grip and it hasn’t peeled. On my old deck after skating it for a year.

[@AustinSK8NYC]

I'm sorry to hear that it had peeled up. The only thing I can think of is insetting it even more than a quarter. I do mine right between a quarter and a half inch . I would definitely reach out the shop and see if you can talk to DKL👍

[@dalealeale2638]

@@AustinSK8NYC thanks man but I think it is a manufacturer problem because the rubber is splitting from the glue and if I didn’t inset it it would peel both the glue and the rubber together leaving the whole thing off but for me it is only the rubber

[@barryperezphotography8229]

Yessss!!!

[@AustinSK8NYC]

Thank you familia!

[@hypieee1545]

I’m just completely stuck I push goofy but do trick’s regular.i can not for the life of me push and do tricks in the same stance I just want to give up

[@Break.o_o]

Ive been skating for a year and i can barely kickturn

[@SlowMoMofo]

No joke… back in the day I would get stuck on certain things , no matter what and at times it would almost be WORSE if I just kept trying and trying and trying because I would be practicing it the wrong way over and over and just be tiring myself and burning myself out…. Now legit if I didn’t skate for an entire week (which was REALLLLLLLLY really hard to do, back in school I was legit addicted to skating) but after a week or close to that so many days off, when I got back on the board it was like, I could try a nunch of different foot positions and it all felt good and felt the same as regular because That ONE way of skating that I was stuck on wasn’t ingrained into my muscle memory anymore….. (This is going to make ZERO sense for people who don’t skate.. and still won’t even make sense for a few people that do skate🤣🤣🤣 I’m sorry I wish I knew how to explain it better) perhaps just getting back on the board after so long I was just so fresh and so damn happy maybe I just had a better mindset 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@AustinSK8NYC]

I KNOW EXACTLY THE FEELING!!!!!😭😭😭😭 I CANT SKAtE FOR MORE THAN 3 DAYS and then I start falling and not landing stuff. Breaks are so important in skateboarding. Gives your body a chance to catch up and re learn 🙏💪💪
