Been taking care of my wife on Hospice Care, haven't been able to surf or skate. This channel has brought me some much needed joy being able to watch you skate with your friends everyday.

[@freshbud6113]

Much love you and your wife. You're a good person and it's going to be so good when you get to skate/surf again.

[@BHonest]

Stg you can feel the moment you level up! That strange day that your kickflips become natural. Your 50/50s become second nature. Taking it to places where you never imagined. It’s amazing! I love skateboarding

[@Jay-ng2im]

[@eddyyhttp]

Same thing on a snowboard! I remember pulling up to the mountain one day feeling like an absolute animal landing all my best tricks. My riding hasn't been the same since

[@BHonest]

@@eddyyhttpthat’s dope! I live out in the Rado, I need to go snowboarding haha

[@AlexNiedt]

I remember Greg told me something like, "You're gonna get broke off regardless, so you might as well fall on something worthwhile." Stuck in my head ever since

[@Adam-wt5id]

As someone that feels like a perpetual beginner, because i am, i find myself constantly pushing myself out of my comfort zone, without trying anything I consider dangerous. There is a difference between trying something new that you really can aim for, and going straight from Ollies to 7 stairs if that makes sense. Just have to find a logical progression. Im still learning kickflips, but I keep pushing myself to ollie onto taller pads, or into boardslides because i still have so much to learn. What i dont do is try learning on kinked rails down stairs. Hopefully that makes sense because im a trash skater but i just want to have fun

[@StellarViewSound]

This is exactly how I went about skating. Learned the Ollie went right for steps. Did a 5 set while barely knowing how to Ollie. Learned heelflip, hit a 3 set. Learned the kick flip, hit a 6 set. I got injured doing that lol but the feeling of accomplishment upon landing it, while not even kick flipping a smaller set before hand, it’s irreplaceable

[@gustavokuchler7589]

15:13 that makes so much sense, never had thought about the fact that the more tries you go for the bigger the risk of getting injured... might as well commit on the first go, but at least for me there is some days that mindset simply doesnt work

[@ogdistavo9350]

This video was a banger! Everytime i feel like quitting trying to learn then i see a sick video like this and it pulls me back in. The skill level is surreal to me.

[@DanCorrigan]

I love to hear it. Glad it’s keeping you on board my friend

[@TipsyFGC]

im 28 and skate every day damn near. i have been practicing kick flips for weeks, just flicking my foot in my house, going out and actually trying them, and i have yet to land one. So to see just how skilled some of these people are is actually mindblowing

[@twan9417]

You got that dude by the end of this week or next week I’m rooting for your first boy

[@otogaal6098]

its going to good winds blowing in our backs🛹

[@magnusjs3422]

yo keep at it and eventually youll get it for sure. dont be discouraged by watching these guys, and the statement he made about fear in the beginning. fear will always be there for a reason, and skateboarding is tough, takes a lot of practice and time to get those muscles to do what you want them to!

[@plopss]

Dog it took me one year to land kickflips and I was practicing minimum 3 hours a week

[@jayversa4010]

im 25 and just started actually getting my kickflips down. It's taken watching a lot of tips from other people and fixing minor issues with my shoulders and foot placement. Biggest thing thats helped me personally is watching Kader Sylla do his kickflips and watching how he leads with his front knee is what helps me do the trick 90% better

[@DeemMalicious]

Dan, you the man! If I gotta spoon feed the algorithm, I might as well just give you some props.

[@DanCorrigan]

Ayy thanks big dawg

[@wydnoob5974]

yeah these kids have skate plazas to progress while in my days we only had curbs or someones broken down fun box or rusty flat rail if we were lucky

[@Davanillaguerrilla]

That's very true actually because we literally only had a ramp , a box, a rail that we made and some other stuff we made, basically everything we had to build ourselves bc therr was no skatepark..there is one now... But its essentially the same thing we built for ourselves + a lil pyramid and a quarterpipe and couple other things

[@Davanillaguerrilla]

Almost all of our street spots we would get kicked out of within 10 mins and there weren't any small sets or loading docks really 😂😂 it was go for it or don't

[@berhynes]

still like this in ireland 💯💯💯

[@sirchristopher7684]

Like they say in Dune. Fear is the mind killer. There's a lot of truth in that. The faster you fail, the faster you'll learn.

[@liambrown8074]

Fear factor is one element of safety. Those training regimens you mentioned are another. As skateboarders begin to recognize the sport aspect of skating more, we're seeing more people taking a safety and injury-prevention mindset when skating. There's been a notion for decades that only young people ride skateboards, but I know people in their 70's who still play tennis multiple times a week. Probably 95% of skateboarding is no more high-impact than tennis, but you have to approach it with the same preparations as you would any other vigorous physical activity.

[@Scrimzzxcrimzz]

I don't think skateboarding is the same as tennis.

[@scourneene]

It's so true what your say Dan at the beginning about fear. Just getting back into it at times at 50 and I'm so frickin fear based to roll over the coping on a mini from disaster. I'm such a whimp...I've had lots of injuries in the past and I think taking anymore bails at this point is too much yet this fear mind is holding me back from over coming this threshold (among other more advantages maneuvers). One of the popular skate vids of the eighties "Fear is the mind killer" so true.

[@ferdiemiddleton8910]

i can be the same until i relalise i get hurt the more times i try it and bail instead of getting it over with

[@scourneene]

@@ferdiemiddleton8910 that's so true

[@El-Burrito]

I wish I learnt how to fall and bail properly when I used to skate. I could never attempt any tricks because I would just really seriously injure myself. It's amazing watching this guys gracefully bail out of something where I'd probably be twisting my ankle, or dropping my knee or shin on the rain, or just straight up slamming my face into concrete.

[@nofood1]

it’s what separates the noobs from the pros, same in bmx, if you don’t know how to bail you’re not gonna last long in both sports

[@adriel3572]

I love hearing what he has to say in the beginning of the video gives the rest of what he filmed great context. A great lens to watch through.

[@sixk4770]

I’ve watched Greg grow up from doing casl contest with me and cole to kickflip 5050 down Hollywood high first try. Kid is mad talented and good attitude. stoked on how far homie has come 👊🏼💯

[@particlejones]

I always equate skating skills, to swinging a baseball bat. When you are good at baseball, you dont think about every little detail. You just step up to the plate and swing the fookin bat. You are confident/dont even question your ability to swing the bat, its natural. With skating, ive been trying to get to that point of just stepping up to rhe plate and swinging rather than breaking every aspect down and it helps. Obviously if you wan hit opposite field, there's alterations to your swing/stance, but still, just get up to bat and swing. Get on your board, get comfortable distributing weight, and jumping comfortable. Everything a variation of the jump/ollie. These younger skaters/people that learn young, its more engrained into their heads . For me being older learning, getting away from the thinking of how to put my foot, where and how to pop, timing, is harder. But for younger kids it's more natural to just "do" things. And with these training ground parks, people are next level good. I love it. Love skateboarding.

[@myahrose94]

such a great analogy honestly this is what i think about a lot because i see these little kids at my park just go down these ramps effortlessly whereas i’m still focusing on my foot placement doing the same thing lol

[@tannerlewis4404]

"Its because youre built like a tongue tho" had me geekin

[@lukasboraski2729]

Committing to tricks definitely takes that confidence but also some days you can see it and feel it. You definitely gotta be on your board a lot for that. I remember when I started to fall off Id go through the 15 trys of nothing cause I wasent feeling it. That shit was frustrating. Trying to fins the moment again

[@arthurlisi9296]

That’s a spot on Assessment of Yoshi.. he gets bodied heavily tho.. skating with him is unreal.. he goes for EVERYTHING.. until you skate in Person with him you have no idea just how gnarly he is

[@Nachokiefl]

It´s crazy how you guys have such as perfect skateparks in the us, having a lot of differents heights in spots helps a lot to progress, here in Argentina you have to go into the craziest spots to learn no mather your level you skate what you have, but this mentality is definitely a game changer.

[@misterros94]

That's how you get skaters like Milton Martinez that are absolutely fearless on the board

[@monatomic]

Greg is so good. You definitely should feature him more often.

[@chrisfranz]

Dan, your videos are excellent. The commentary is great along with filming and a variety of skaters. You and Andy have inspired me to start skating again at 47 after a 30 year hiatus. Of course I'll never be kickflipping into a handrail 😅 Keep it up!

[@SillyShenanagensThe3rd]

its funny seeing dan, the pro skater, talk about his skating as if he's just alright lol

[@thisisgisito]

It amazes me how some people can just be pre-commited like that. I try to do that when I do tricks but I always feel like I have to either warm up to it or I need to be very selective about what trick I am trying, like that I know I have the level of skating to do it. So I would not be able to just commit to a 5050 down a 10 stair downrail unless I have done it before on a like 6 stair rail before. Where as it feels like those guys would just throw it anyway. Craziness

I think you got it wrong: Mentality follows ability, and not even sk8 ability per se. Things like mobility and/or energy levels at a given moment are what puts you in the mindset, forcing it won't get you very far, other than to a doctors office.

[@paaao]

I skated hard in the 90s, and just like today, it was not cool to wear helmets and pads. Had an acquaintance we skated with round town kickflip a good sized gap, commit, and landed. Board came shooting out from under him, and he went down fast and hard. The angle was just right for his head to bounce off the edge of the curb and we had to call an ambulance from the payphone when he just laid there lifeless. He went to the same school as us, and ended up in a coma for almost a month. He was never the same after, and never skated again. Not saying this to scare anyone or be dad (though I am a dad now), but when you're young, nothing is scary, nothing will hurt you. You're never going to get old or die. If you are trying something big, and you've never done it before, put a helmet on. The next 50+ years of your life, or whatever you get, might be extremely different than what it could have been.

[@joshuakastler7837]

Dan, the other day you mentioned your 8.5 with slight football shape, is that out in shops? My deck is toast and I think I need that in my life.

[@skippyskater]

I used to be able to skate vert ramps/big bowls and solid handrails under 10 stairs when I was 15-16, just recently started skating again at 29 a week ago and I shit you not It 'feels' scary to drop a 4ft quarter, the mental hurdle I had to cross just to commit to rock to fakies was ridiculous, the only thing my body and mind has kept from the era is general board control, can still skate fast pushing and feel comfortable just need to get used to bailing and the transition side of things again. Starting to feel that depression disappear which is the main thing. Aint gonna stop until Im shredding bowls fast enough to make your eyes bleed.
