Diary Of A Dad Skater EP2 - Barely Coping

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Just need to say I royally messed up and the guy riding the scooter is called Keiran NOT Aaron 😂 And he is a cool guy with sick skills 😄

[@davidbalakirev5963]

Good crew and good tricks!

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Thanks, I'm lucky to have people close by to skate with!

[@CovTown]

The indoor park looks really good, I’m lowkey jelly of all the rad skateparks you visit Scott, another great video 🤩

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

@@CovTown we are spoilt here to be honest. I used to have issues with most of the parks here but as I've improved there is more I can do at them 🤣

[@Brusselsproutsk8]

Love the confidence building on the hippie jumps 👌

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Thanks, yeah took me a while to commit to landing on the board! Such a scary trick

[@VintageSk8]

NIce I am scared to death to do a hippy jump very sketchy way to land it!!!

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Yeah it is a trick that is way scarier than it looks!

[@VintageSk8]

@@DadLeisureSkateboarding yes that is for sure looks super easy but in no way is it!! Lol

[@cakebabyman5090]

Nice work on the mini. Well done.

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Thanks!!

[@JamieSimpson-qw4qe]

The progress you’re making in superb Scott, our team of lads are bloody good eggs man You’re solid mate 🤘

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Thanks Jamie, you raised the level of skating for the viewers haha. Great session can't wait for the next

[@jamiejesus]

kind words scott but that isn’t me 😅

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

@@jamiejesus 🤣 yeah I realise that now 🤭

[@chathampxy6469]

Beautiful camera work it was good to meet the barely coping crew

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Thanks Aaron 😉

[@chathampxy6469]

Haha

[@KieranClarkSkates]

Killed it this week mate. Fair play on the hippy jump, they freak me out no end. Super consistent on the mini too, rock fakies were sick at that concrete park. Smashed it this week pal.

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

@@KieranClarkSkates cheers man! I'm really happy with how it went to be honest and how the vid turned out. I was focusing so much on skating the vid was an afterthought! I'm stoked about the hippy Jump because they have messed with me for a while 🤘

[@KieranClarkSkates]

@@DadLeisureSkateboarding The crew all killed it too awesome to see. The back to back 180 and Varial flip was fire.

[@skate-vision]

Really great progress, its so hard mentally to overcome the fear jumping over smth, as to me, scared as hell but once you got at least one right, you feel a massive relief 😁 Well done, other people also help to commit. Keep up the great work guys!!!

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Thanks man! I know what you mean, same with most of the tricks when you get them once the fear disappears!

[@goldenshoulders909]

Another quality video man, nice wee hippy jump and you can see you wanting to go faster as the slam starts to fade in your rear view. It's always shaky getting back after a bad one, especially at the same spot. Big up man

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

@@goldenshoulders909 thanks mate!

[@goldenshoulders909]

That wee concrete park is a belter as well?

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

@@goldenshoulders909 I think it looks better on camera, most of it is way to big for me but it's fun to carve around, the baby bowl is perfect height (but deceptively steep) and there's plenty of flat 😎 I do love going there, feels like my spiritual home!

[@simonvidetta1976]

Great stuff in this vid!loved the hippy jumps, fav of mine after no complys. 50-50 on the tall step was solid and great ollies off too! Cheeky little 180 attempts, think you’ll be bagging them soon.. Finally got to see the police station and was that offer of a cake called out at the indoor sesh open to everyone??? 🤣 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Haha yes cake for all skaters 😂 Thanks I was happy with the hippie jumps I really didn't think I'd get there! I had no confidence getting on that tall step for some reason but powered through

[@WonkyDuckSk8s]

Great video bud can really see your progression there some nice bits from me too lol

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Cheers Luke was good skating with you man! Plenty more sessions to come!

[@Ungracefulmovement]

Really wholesome stuff! Hippie jump 💯 vibes with the crew 💯 and the chill one! Have a good week.

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Thanks Richard!! Really enjoyed this one (skating and editing 😊)

[@PhilipBrown1967]

Great edit

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Thanks Phil, and for the offerings of cake!

[@amskateboards]

Not only did you survive but you thrived. That was a great couple of sessions. I feel like the axle stall is way harder than the 50:50 on a curb. For the stall you have to 90 degree ollie into it where the 50 you can go more straight. Basically if you can do the axle stall on the curb you easily got the 50:50.

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

@@amskateboards awesome comment thanks mate! Yeah I know what you are saying but mentally I wasn't ready to slide across waxed crusty concrete 🤣🤘

[@StuffnThings42]

I love at the end how you were “calling it a day.” I do that all the time. I’m done and exhausted, but then I need to try just one more thing. 😁

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

@@StuffnThings42 I completely relate to you there! I even took my pads off before this, had a carve around then started trying to get slash grinds (which is what I am attempting in the video) so decided to pad up again 🤣

[@jamiejesus]

im famous! loved our battle mate, reminded me of when i skated when i was younger 🛹 great work on the lip tricks (i spy rock and roll 👀) and the ollies off the step at the end 👏🏻

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Cheers JJ! Yeah rock n roll has been done before but I can't do them on that board with the thunder trucks, needs to be my heroin deck with the Ace trucks!

[@Poltergits-Lampost]

New sub🫡. Dad shredder here 47 👊🙌🙏😎

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Nice to meet you man! Welcome to the channel!

[@Fenfilms]

Can't believe I haven't noticed those rales before as I pass there nearly everyday. Lol. That spot is near where the Warrington ramp was in the 1980s!

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

No way! I pass it every day and dream of skating it, then can't do much when I get there! We should skate it together man

[@Fenfilms]

@@DadLeisureSkateboarding deffo. I need to get my mojo on for some street skating.

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

I shall message you next time (I would have done before but it's so last minute when I skate these spots!)

[@nebelform_records]

I have a note in my room which tells "I wish I skated A little faster ", espescially after all the years of skating I am still feared of some Fast Ollies over the boxes. Guess I still need to work on my boardcontroll

[@DadLeisureSkateboarding]

Fast Ollie's are hard to commit to! I'm only just getting used to them over a bank or hip!
