I learned the 3 HARDEST tricks in Destiny

I set a bet with my friends to prove I could learning how to sparrow fly, slipstream, balance box, bubbleskate, and more; all in 2 weeks. This is my story of how it went.

To all the comments saying skating techs are extremely easy - cool, but the SLIPSTREAM was one hell of a journey, and I someday hope I can make it to Galaxy Pools on my own 🤝

[@kegium]

Bro I brute forced it for my first time too, gg's. Still no slipstream though because I rage after failing for hours lol

[@Kanudee]

yea slipstreaming is not even close to any of the skating it is much harder. i also loved watching someone learn it. It was so similar to my journey for learning slipstreaming always wanting to hop back on just for a few more trys then one day it just clicked and now i never drive my sparrow like a normal person im always doing some trick its super fun.

[@HeyJack-kl5yj]

Used to well and shatterskating but still struggle to get bubbleskating going.

[@wheresjaneD2]

thank you so much castle bc of this video and your insights in learning I also finally learned how to properly slip after failing to teach myself for a month

[@FunkyFemboy]

I remember staying up for hours well into the morning just trying over and over again. eventually I got the hang of it to where I can do it somewhat consistently, however you took it to the next level. great vid mate

[@Hynra]

3:50 YOOO!! Also this video should be something that players that don't know what to do look in to, these little movement techs makes the game feel so much more fun once you can utilize them in day to day activities. Just slipstreaming at the start of the Glassway GM to Well-Skating across jumping puzzles in raids and dungeons. Little things in the game, although may not be intended creates another layer of depth.

[@Linkman8912]

I totally agree! I learned to wellskate a couple months ago and even though I know it’s not hard, it feels so good when I get it right!

[@QuillC]

Well said! Keeps things interesting, can be genuinely useful, and can be a super fun way to get newer players excited about all the movement possibilities there for them to explore in their journey. Plus it looks cool as heck 😎 put it on the job app

[@TheMMObro]

Movement tech is what made cs 1.6 do much infinitely better than source or GO. There was SO MUCH TECH.

[@josh___something]

Wellskating past the Kings fall ship area so I can afk and watch a few videos while people catch up is lowkey very satisfying.

[@JB3_Xbox]

From one Glitcher to another, it's insane that you learned slipstreaming in 2 weeks.. especially going from nothing to Slipstream.

[@lightlyfriedfishfillets8117]

bro its so hard to do been trying to do it all week and its not working

[@bofa722]

​@@lightlyfriedfishfillets8117 you need to let go of destabilizers when you press the dodge button. You can re-activate them after you press dodge Rebinding dodge to a single key or button helps alot. I have Q for left dodge and E for right dodge Make sure the side you dodge to is the one that's facing up (assuming youre trying to do a basic sparrow fly)

[@infinitedeath1384]

​@@bofa722I find it easier to press R2 (stabiliser button on ps5) for like a quarter of a second to start rotating but to a manageable speed, and I find that I can use the dodge to gain really good heights. There's also no need to reactivate stabilisers once you are sparrow flying, only after you need to jump off and resummon the sparrow. I don't have always on time btw, just a regular sparrow with 6 dodges.

[@fishtheperson]

This video is super motivating. I've been playing for just under a year now and it's crazy how much stuff there is still to do in this game. Thank you for all the effort you put into your video and the positive vibes you bring to the community!

[@im_an_avocado40]

I love this video so much. it sums up the learning process for all this so perfectly too. All the same emotions I felt doing these things for the first time. Glad I got to bump into you on your journey, and congrats on learning everything man. All this in two weeks is really fast to learn.

Congrats, you went out of your way to learn practices you had no experience with, decided to learn them all and actually pulled it off. This is the greatest accomplishment you have received from your time playing this game : self-improvement. Proud of you, Guardian.

[@MandrewTheFrog]

HUGE W and the takeaway you had from all this was on point! We often go after achievements in games chasing that feeling of elation and hype of when we complete some crazy personal goal but after a while, sometimes that meaning can be lost along the way and we don't know why we're playing anymore. It applies to all challenge runs for example in any game that the best reward that gives the most feels is when you're not driven to do something because you want some kind of loot, but you're doing it because you want to, GGs my guy! 👏

[@user-cs4vq5wj4l]

Congrats Castle, pretty inspiring. I've never even considered trying some of these techs or the mystery behind sparrow flying but it seems demystifed now at least

[@TempPhoaccnt-rg3be]

So glad i found this. I have been feeling to up my level in d2, and this video covers almost all the tech i wish to learn. Watching your progress is insightful

[@tomiokasam2242]

what i found when learning to skate was that your button mapping plays a huge part and yes that timing furing your swap to eager. i have my weapon swap R3, so click in right stick long press for heavy and i count to 2 and then to the heavy>jump>shatterdive, works every time. well works in the same way. i knew castle would point that out.

[@WishNoMore]

I love how excited he is to learn, it’s so sad how infrequent it feels to see people wanting to improve at Destiny

[@abh._.]

This video was an insta-click, I was watching this all play out on 4dash and i was getting hyped for this

[@TDub-ox7wu]

Thank you. I needed this and didnt even know it. Ive been down lately and I think I have a similar issue where im not being challenged. Thank you for inspiring me.

[@krimson459]

Learning complex mechanics like these with precise timing and sequences is what makes games like Rocket League so popular. There is an infinite skill ceiling to a lot of these things and so many players enjoy pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Glad you could accomplish your goals, there is no better feeling than the satisfaction of doing something you once thought you never could but tried anyways.

[@iceman_raw8858]

Love the commitment man!!! I knew you could do it

[@Rhuzzy_]

Nice job, suprised you at least got basic infinite slip in 2 weeks, getting better with dodge timing is key to being consistent. Try doing dsc entrance 1-6 (1-7 is only possible with frostbite delay).

[@simonscreams5546]

This video gave me a good and well needed refreshment to destiny content. Good job on landing some of these insane tricks

[@reecem100]

Holy crap dude, that was wild. I've been going through a back log of content to watch. watching a 4 month old video of yours and i was still on the edge of my seat. I practically cheered for you on rainbow road. A gripping ride of a video. I'm glad i climbed aboard for the ride. Props to you for learning all that and in 2 weeks to boot.

[@fryler5865]

Bravo on the last few videos dude. Worth the wait. Hilarious. Now i have to learn to bubble skate..

[@Cosmic_Islander]

Your dedication is freaking Awesomee!!!!!!

[@ohdeer2069]

To all my fellow controller players, perhaps the best piece of advice I kind give for learning to skate is to change the main input method to one of the left side keys, where the emotes are typically. Shatter dive, well, bubble, etc. The default method requires too many buttons or a long hold which just doesn’t work well. I’ve also learned that the timings are just the slightest bit different for each method. Shatterdive is easier to learn, but isn’t as fast. Start at shatter than go to well. Also custom match on eternity with the highest super regen. For shatter, press heavy attack, jump, and shatter dive at the same time. For well skating, I heavy attack and jump at the same time and wait just a split second to activate well. The timing is that you want to use well the moment you leave solid ground.

[@infinitedeath1384]

I find that it is infinitely easier to do with the directional pad than the default buttons as well. It feels awkward trying to well skate pressing R2, X and then L1 + R1. I've gotten consistent with it usings R2, X and then Down on the directional pad for shatter and well skating.

[@stuqsnette2900]

Firstly - AMAZING vid, the journey, the framing, the pacing, the informational quality is top tier - but oh MAN I’ve been loving every new bit of shmoovement trickery, skips and cool OoBs in the game that I find or discover from others; honestly has become one of my main joys in the game (and that’s not a criticism or complaint bout d2) Is 4dash a private disc, or are they open to people joining to learn & contribute without needing a vetted invite like you had aha

[@CastleContent]

First off thank you!! As for the 4dash discord they are extremely welcoming - I highly recommend you join!

[@ryanvancamp583]

Solid work. The meeting of an arbitrary goal, just for it's own sake. In the same vein of man climbing Everest "because it is there..." Earned sub

[@beutlin420]

Congrats on learning stuff in D2. Love your dedication

[@roundraccoon6141]

For bubble, well and shatter skating. Pull your sword out first, then do the other inputs. You could wait even a full second with your sword out, then hit the skate. Bubble skate is still very finicky regardless. Could be crazy, but it feels easier to do when at lower frames for me.

[@QuillC]

As a long time d2 player, I just started seeking to learn these techniques in the past two or so months, and let me tell you, much like the vid conveys it's a heck of a peak to summit, and the learning curve is NOT consistent. I went from taking an evening to get okay at basic sparrow flying (mainly just getting a little height) and another to get used to transitioning sparrows while in the air, to nearly a full week (and counting) slamming myself against the cliffsides of nessus failing slipstreams for hours a night. Granted I'm on controller, high frame rate, and I've made a ton of progress on basic slipstreaming, this stuff only *looks* easy when a pro does it, but takes a lot to even begin to wrap your head around. I will say though, it's very worth it, as it's a real fun and challenging skill to build, and the community is top notch. I've made so many friends just hanging out on the red roof, and even the most skilled of fliers will commonly take time to stop what they're doing and offer tips, guidance, and demonstrations, for newcomers like myself out there struggling. Real chill skate park type vibes, been a lovely experience through and through.

[@user-fn9ci9ib3q]

Such a great vid 4th time watching it, and it inspired me to also lean so skate and sparrow fly.

[@CastleContent]

Thank you so much!

[@randomonlinename2941]

Some helpful tips: The always on time sparrow isnt needed. I use the micro-mini. It just needs more dodges Also, bubble skating can be done with most roaming supers and is mostly easier from what i find. The most fun are glacial quake, stormtrance, daybreak and fists of havok.

[@xclonecommander]

This inspired me to learn the sparrow techs and so far I've learned how to glide and go straight up now just to refine it and learn to slipstream. It's been a lot of fun and the new season pass exotic sparrow works for this you don't need the raid sparrow. I may be wrong but I don't think the raid sparrow is better than the season pass one for sparrow flying.

[@tyb7.5]

Rainbow road is a great place to practice slip because it focuses control over quantity of dodges.

You can make it up to the red roof area on nesses without your sparrow, just take the boosters normally, then just climb the tree and wall till you make it up there.

that random solid tower is code, so the tower is a solid object in a different area (be that even if its 1000m away in the background) so therefor its a solid object when glitching to it.
