Learning My First *LEGIT* Handplant!

[@ChadCaruso]

So psyched I was able to learn inverts! What trick are you currently working on?

[@tomleiser3746]

Chad Caruso I’m learning Miller flips and hand plants on coping

[@user-ui8kb5vt2c]

Nose stall revert

[@ExistencialDizziness]

Invert

[@mindfulskateboarding3693]

Good job dude! I got rock to fake and rock and roll on a small mini ramp, still trying to get the courage to get over the coping on the big concrete ramp at one of the parks I go to. It's the cold season now but gonna try and improve on the ramp when i get back

[@peerlessroger]

Half cab bigspin boardslide, boardslide shove it out, and blunts popped all way back in.

[@minitos1]

I've heard that it helps to learn them to disaster first then when you feel comfortable landing on the coping you try to go straight in

[@gabrielboschiero7966]

Im from Brasil, and started tô skate few months ago, in mini ramps (im 29, by the way). Than i start to whatch your videos, and all the series. I dream about your local skatepatk. This ramp (im not gonna say mini, because its not, for me) looks amazing. Also thanks for speak to the Câmara about how u feel during the process of learning. Someday ill show up and skate there. Thanks for the videos

[@bertfechner417]

Yeah Chad! You're an inspiration. Nothing specific yet, but trying to learn 12 new tricks by years end, one for each month.

[@Tom-bj7kv]

That Vans sticker is finally fading, you’re a real fan if you remember it looking fresh

[@Slivlivin]

Tom I was thinking the same lol

[@trickswithjp]

Ah good tip for these are try to pop the tail while grabbing the board especially if you are doing them in the middle of the transition (good for warming up for the trick). And pay attention to your backfoot placement, I place my foot almost in a pop shov position but way inside the tail so my back foot doesn't lose grip. Also grabbing the board way early and firmly really helped me not lose the board even tho it doesn't look as cool. Sucking your legs right before landing helps too oh and having board rails really helped me alot with this trick but I don't think it's necessary.

[@ZackDowdy]

Epic!! My goal this year is to learn inverts and land a tre flip 😆🤘🙏

[@NioBanba]

did you land the tre flip?

[@Deschain-um7jz]

This was an emotional roller coaster. Haha. I just started skating transition. I don’t have anything other than one 6 foot quarter and a 4 foot quarter at two different parks an hour each away, but I dropped in for the first time last Sunday.

[@luap1100]

Way to persevere!. Just back into riding after decades off (yes, decades) super inspirational

[@leredditcommander8208]

This is the best tutorial for anyone looking to do this trick, you will experience exactly this step by step.

[@antoniog5417]

I recently found your channel and wanted to say thanks for making these kinds of videos where you learn new tricks and show your progression. I recently started skating about half a year ago and your channel has helped a lot. Many of trick tips/tutorials out there are done by people who've done the trick hundreds of times and have probably forgotten how scary/hard it was the first few times so seeing you do it makes it easier to understand the process. Hope you keep making these and can't wait to get through the rest of your videos!

[@mikaelgonzalez2739]

Incredible how you keep smiling, no matter how hard you fall! You really like skateboarding and that's beautiful

[@zechharshberger1115]

Awesome trick I am trying to the hand plant but I feels awkward lol but I don’t think of work my way up the ramp I will have to do that thank you for a good video

[@gregfabb869]

I was watching this whilst sorting the house. I was mesmerised watching all the nearly made. I actually clapped when you made it.

[@michagardea7253]

Nice one! Thank you for showing your progression with this trick, I'm struggling with it myself so it helps a lot!

[@Misserbi]

Thanks for the tip. I was actually thinking coping first. Did not think to do in stages.

[@garageoutlaw2089]

Still trying to learn ollies. I wiped out yesterday and smack my head. All on film! Helmet squad from here on out though. 😂. Your progress and consistency is my motivation for sure. Love the edits chad.

[@user-nl7ch2pk8k]

Looks like you commented this a year ago? How's the progress??

[@adam_satchell]

Think this just gave me the fire I needed to progress to the coping. Been stuck on the ramp for the exact same reason. Was so sick to watch you progress with this as quickly as you did. Hat off to you bro 👊

[@damianb2374]

Got to be one of the most 'real' battles ever seen. Incredible video Chad.

[@seanmichael7714]

Dude skateboarding is so much fun good luck to everybody and I hope everybody has a blast

[@MotoSly]

i'm always so hyped on your ramp skating... and i always been a street skater.... you made me build a mini ramp in my backyard! I notice progess lately ;)

[@SnafuYT]

Your videos often have something to it that makes me as a viewer engaged in it. I seriously got hyped on some tries!

[@Sk8Comeback]

Loved every second of that man 👊 brought some good energy to that vid. Makes wanna go skate! Can’t ask for me than that!

[@nategans5406]

so sick dude you got em all in your huge bag of tricks!!!

[@pehico]

admire your persistence.... keep going man

[@hackerr2656]

i love your channel so mutch!

[@daviddarko2665]

Frontside and backside airs on vert! I have to learn the basics of vert this year. I just have to. It looks like so much fun and as hard as it is at first, I'm having a blast learning! Keep Pushing!

[@ChadCaruso]

Same! I’ve always wanted to do those

[@SteveZussou]

@@ChadCaruso Love to see you hit up a vert ramp! get some pads on please!

[@elohbeoh8107]

I started these last year, gonna try and better them later today.

[@RasKitchen]

So sick! been wanting to learn these for ages...still wondering what the easiest grab is to start with for myself. Need to buy some pads xD

[@acidspacecake3145]

!!Tipp!! for everyone: I learned handplants, when i was 10 years old and stil doing them absolutley safe. Try to early grab like a melon, but between your legs. Not sure what the grab is called. It keeps the board on your feet proper. It's really not that hard, if you do it like this.

[@maxt99shiun62]

If you grab melon and do an invert that’s an Andrick some people find it easier I think grabbing mute is easier for me

[@KC-dg9pu]

hey thats a good idea to do them in the transition first rather than the coping. thanks!

[@chrisloya6988]

Very nice Chad! Like to see a BS air now! 😜 Great job! Love you're videos, keep em comin!

[@MrInSomNeArt]

I'm learning these this next week👍👍👍

[@Trev612]

Also if you cross your arm as you're coming up it's like one smooth motion and you got it air out of the ramp before you plant your hand to the coping or you can leave your hand on the ramp and let it slide up as you air out and then make contact with the coping as you're pulling your bored as tight as you can to your chest

[@ola3100]

Honestly I thought it'd be impossible for you to learn handplants in a day. That's incredible man

[@JavierNallar]

Just what I asked for. Thanks Chad, great handplant in very short time.

[@elohbeoh8107]

Bro i been hesitating to go all the way to the coping and this just inspired me. 2020 is the hear for inverts. I mute grab it like a slob transplant.

[@MrBsdninja]

This exemplifies the greatest lesson in skateboarding that so many people overlook... perseverance.

[@superfioul704]

That’s sick! I always scared about my head so near of the copping.. But, like always, you give good advice and i appreciate that! I repeat all the time « it’s on your mind » but i don’t like see my face so near of thé copping! Good vidéo! Kiss from France Chad!

[@Alex-Defatte]

That was so sweet. Kudos dude!

[@pukebrittney8590]

I learned backside airs coping level in the bowl today and Ive had layback 5-0s and fs grab airs so i think im read to finally start trying these tommorow :) this video was tight!

[@davidbubbsoar2555]

a really great trick!! took me so long but I finally was able to ride away. took me doing it lower on the ramp then slowly increasing height until I could put my hand on the coping. Best feeling in the world and a great stunner trick at parks and bowls! great video man

[@k6hxhsquaaa681]

I’m learning hand plants when I can’t even Ollie like legit I can do feeble rock to fakie rock n roll 5o 50/50 boardslide and invert( undercoping)

[@PONYBOYonline]

I watched this video and literally went out to learn this. First thing is that for such a unique trick that no one really tries and is seemingly hard, it’s actually quite easy to work your way up to getting the board over the coping. It’s really as simple as working your way up the ramp getting used to putting your hand down and turning. Which leads to the second point which is to really focus on putting your weight on your hand. Once you make sure you do that and aren’t just touching the ramp with your finger tips, the motion becomes far more natural and automatic. Because the more weight you put on your hand, the easier it is to scoop the board off the ramp. And in the end, it’s all about working your way up to putting your hand on the coping, which is really just a mental obstacle for committing what you already know

[@leredditcommander8208]

You dont need to put your weight on.your arm, just the inertia is enough. Arm is more an instrument to turn back in and give you time to position landing

[@NeilHesterSkateboarding]

That was awesome, you learn so fast. I've been trying frontside airs I've the hip of a bowl but I need to make that move to bonking off the coping to get the proper height but I can't bring myself to do it. 🤣

[@nohaxlol658]

Same

[@juliuSZcsgo]

Im glad that I found your channel. I have skated from 13 to 23 almost 10 years, but had to quit cuz of my angle, now skating only couple of times per year. How you keep yourself going? How do you warmup? Any stretching? I am now 27, and you are giving me so much motivation, that I can not wait when the summer is coming here at finland.

[@conradpaul5145]

Awesome work bruttha!

[@reeceparriah4772]

I leaned that coming in at an angle was easier to learn then going straight at it like you were doing and bailing

[@elbarto4815]

This one was really awesome

[@BrettOPediaTV]

DUDE YES! I love doing those! I always turn backside, grab mute, and ride it out, you’ll almost not even realize you’re upside down! Inverts are extremely respectable. People go nuts for it!

[@JasonHendricks]

nice job! thanks for the tutorial.

[@kellcifur6985]

Trials and tribulations my man. So stoked to see you land it. Now imma go learn that shit 🤙

[@MartyBird_70]

As a former vert rider, doin'em my advice is: grab the coping close to where your hand holds the board. Two hands near oneanother. Then let hands go appart while putting wheight on coping, send your butt above your head literally as hard as you can. Focus with your eyesight below the coping for reentry. Hold the board very firm during air travel. That's the last stage when you have done a few below coping. Having kneepads helps a LOT. Because you can stay grouped longer trying to bring the wheels back in, and slide out the very last moment if it stinks. Enjoy skate fam. Love ya all.

[@jacobmeyers3446]

Happy New Trick day Chad. I feel like the first handplant is a milestone in skateboarding.

[@strawberryjpeg6000]

im learning the handplant! i can do a beanplant and a boneless but i gotta drop in on ramps next so i can include those in my tricks

[@paulrevere2928]

Jeff Grosso R.I.P. would have been stoked that you put the effort into learning inverts. Keep up the great work! Vincit Veritas

[@traddad9172]

Growing up strictly street skating it always felt un natural to touch the board.

[@ChadCaruso]

Same!

[@panictryouts]

well you are missing out on a ton of tricks.

[@claysoggyfries]

peculiar peasant Learn transition

[@traddad9172]

@@claysoggyfries you young bucks got to remember- There were *no* skateparks in 90s east coast skateboarding. We lived in the streets and didn't learn transition until we petitioned to get parks built *20* years later. You youngin's still wouldn't be learning transition if it weren't for Us old heads

[@darrinsiberia]

plus the whole berrics thing now "not everything on flat ground counts... no boneless no grabs no no comply..."

[@Bowwylad]

Yes Chad, In struggling with these even half way up lol!

[@nomeindisponivel6954]

I'm learning this trick and you post it thank you!

[@jimkauderer9902]

Could do some early grab mute airs first as a progression. Also, they are way easier on vert.

[@zmwoob]

yes chad!!! handplants are so sick!

[@domersimpson3750]

Gotta learn Invert Reverts, Duane style. They are so fun.

[@TheHowingFantods]

Well done amigo.

[@intrusiveskateboards3589]

that is awesome my man.

[@ElderSkates]

Awesome session to watch. Nice work!

[@panictryouts]

Peter Hewitt says when you go up, you cross your arms, so your plant hand (back hand) is ready to put it down. Check his invert to fakie tutorial on youtube.

[@DimmaHD]

i got to learn my first *LEGIT* faceplant because of you, thanks!

[@cartery342]

This probably the trick I wana do the most for skating bowls

[@eliasvaldiviezo4346]

Thanks for the tips bro... good vibes

[@pchkid]

Always get super hyped after watching some of your vids, my skatepark closed cuz of the CCP virus so I can't hit the ramps I was just getting the hang of, great stuff man!

[@oliverharrison1313]

Yeah dude! That was rad!

[@3kzy233]

Sick! Keep on shredding and inspiring. Stay awesome dude! :)

[@NovaCostaRica]

Thank you!

[@rodryford98]

Hell yeah you made it!!

[@BrettOPediaTV]

Also, if you’re going a sharp enough turn, the hand plant is almost secondary. Going as straight as you’re going toward the coping makes it harder. Seriously, GREAT JOB!

[@marty4382]

this whole comment is just incorrect. you ride straight at the coping.

[@superjtrdr]

In my opinion, invert bailouts are meant to be done by sliding down on knee pads. Running out or rolling out seems tricky

[@mountain-roots]

You are killing this.. I can thank you enough. 35 practice with my kids

[@seanmichael7714]

Cool dude you're awesome that was awesome I just subscribed I was just sitting here thinking how of all the years skateboarding hand plants was a trick I always thought I would learn and never did I'm 44 now but we'll see

[@TheRaddiiZone]

Sick dude! I know that “thinking about the coping” feeling very well....

[@bencarrigan9918]

I've scars on my lower back for learning these but it was worth it because its the greatest feeling in the world

[@bushoskates2089]

hahaha I clapped when you got the first sketchy one! I want to progress to this trick one day.

[@Lonely_tree2000]

Please do a full tutorial on it

[@JPBrasca]

Amazing! Got me to go out and skate today!

[@vanillaicecream9126]

Hi cool u land it....Am acttually learning Handplant is harder then seems to be..But is really fun i lovee this old scholl tricks..And when u getting really good with handplants u can ease learn the invert what is one of me dream tricks to learn

[@burntwash7]

Yeah Chad! Super rad!

[@VaizardDaishi]

This is on my 2020 list too!

[@OfficialXhilaration]

anyone else notice the karma sticker on the side of the ramp?

[@BK-tp3sg]

I have been trying those also

[@Old_man_Rob]

Congratulations! But unless you have incredible upper body strength , on ramps without vert, this trick is pretty hard, or it helps.. Eric W. (Santa Cruz ) can do that trick on anything. That indoor park you rode about a month ago the largest ramp there would be a good one . I'm older , but street plants? Could improve it. Roman Patrah(sic) can do them on ramps that small . So unless you are doing a "one and done " on this , there are my suggestion...

[@NatGreenOnline]

nice work. I want to learn these as well.

[@mykneeshurt8393]

AWESOME. I can't skate anymore but this was a goal trick for me..

[@camilojantti3789]

Man!!!! That was super sweet!!!!

[@ProgressSkateboarding]

That was sick, Chad! I want to try this so bad. So scary to think how close you come to rolling over your back hand though.

[@bizzareadventure8576]

That was so sick !

[@RikRiorik]

Went to my first ramp this month. Looked scary as all hell to drop in on and I wasn’t even standing on it I was just looking at it and I’m 6’5”. I tried to just go start from the bottom and try to pump my way up but the flat on the ramp was like half of what the ramp in the video is. Could have used more in order to push and prepare to start pumping. I’ll return to it. As much fun as normal riding is there something so alluring about ramps (and bowls). One day!

[@KyleAndersonSkates]

That was awesome Chad!!!

[@kidthree]

that trick isbmy goal for this year!

[@falcosk8]

Good work!

[@Yano_RL]

My dream trick❤️

[@matt97342]

Any tips on getting your hand on the top? Im so close but always have it just below the coping...

[@SPACE_M0NK3Y]

gotta build those new trick muscles.
