Love your videos man. Learned the kick turn in the last few days on a slope. Transitioned to the quarter pipe. After several falls I’m starting to get it. This snap turn is my next hurdle. Much love and respect. If anybody out there is hesitant about starting, I’m 48 and started a few months ago. I love it and the progression is very fast as long as you do it a lot and aren’t afraid to go down to the skate park and ask the kids for some tips. I love surf skating

Tai Chi on skateboard!!! Go go go broh!!! 🤙

So cool....I love your tutorial clips...especially the slow motion...great instructor !

[@gohteam]

Ur tutorials are seriously the best

[@user-if2zr7rw4x]

This is one I still struggle with. I either over-amp my slide/snap and fall forward off my toe side or I don’t put enough into it and I fall back off the heel side. For the life of me, I can’t figure out why I have no control over these. Great work here, Shane.

[@nattapongsiri-panyo8539]

Thank for your great tutorial, I try harder more than 3 days for this practise and I got it!! It very cool.

I love your videos. Would you mind doing a video about your fitness and eating regimen? Wondering what your routines are at the gym, or at home, if you lift weights. Whatever, you're doing it's obviously working because you're very talented on the skateboard.

[@curtiswilson9392]

Can I request a tutorial on doing a flat ground 180 slide??

[@ihlechris]

Congratulations. On your channel you provide details step by step that others don't "hide". Could you also make a video on your vision of a nice pump flow: A video where we can see how you move your arms, compress/decompress when riding straight or curves (heel+toe side)... I find it hard to pump heelside in a curve because then I have to do rather the opposite ...

[@shanelai2515]

thanks! added that to my bucket list

[@Cl3mC4n]

A nouveau une super vidéo, merci pour ton boulot Shane! Petite suggestion, entendre tes commentaires en voix-off pendant que tu réalises la figure au ralenti pourrait être un plus.

[@shanelai2515]

merci! c'est noté

What wheels are used, what size is a snap?

[@williamheym8063]

Great Chanel bro one of the best for carver tutorials one question where you get your red wheels

[@shanelai2515]

Thanks bro! Got them for cheap during a close down sale. No brand generic wheels

[@sk8r348]

I subed

[@thanetsae-ueang8572]

Wow nice !! The stick use same like you how long INCH ??? Thank you.

[@Groms443]

Salut Shane, Est-ce que les roues utilisées ont un impact sur les snap et slide ? Où c'est qu'une excuse :) Merci pour les vidéos, vraiment utile et parfait pour les goofy :)

[@leisandi]

Finally a great surfskate tutorial series for goofy footers!

[@shanelai2515]

Haha yeah goofy tutorials are rare 😜

[@benny3226]

I just realised why this video felt so right!

[@disguyhere972]

Goofy footers unite!

[@brianseverance9028]

What is the spacing on your markers? How many feet across from the bottom turn marker and how many up to the turn marker? TY

[@vanessap8717]

Do you think I'd be able to pump and turn like this on a landyatchz pocket knife (surf skate)? I find it carvy, but my wheels come off the ground easy. I'm a beginner mind you. 2 days😎

[@jonkennard8272]

Hi Shane just subscribed great videos loved the round house video. I apologise im sure you've been asked numerous times but new here. If you had to choose one board to surf skate and use as a surf technique trainer what board would it be? Currently got a Carver with cx butn thinking about going down the c7 route. Alternatively try to. Find a smoothstar for sale in the uk! Cheers Jon

[@shanelai2515]

Definitely go the Smoothstar route for surf cross training. Overall, the board is more balanced and tuned. Deck length, width(specially at the tail side), concave, WB, duro. C7 is still too stiff but might be suited more for surfy cruising

[@jonkennard8272]

Thanks Shane had my Carver for years and it's really helped my surfing. The cx are solid trucks but watching the turn ability of the smoothstar is so much more like surfing and on the flat to. Thanks I'll keep an eye for when they come back in stock

[@sophiainnis4740]

Does this wear out your wheels? Because I have realised some of mine are shrinking a bit after doing this.

[@powercarve125]

Could u do a video on how to do a layback like Christian hosoi or jay smith on a ramp plz thanku

[@shanelai2515]

these guys are legends. I have not reached that level yet

[@lucienxin6613]

Hi Shane, are your sufskate board's wheels made of soft stuff like rubber, or hard stuff like plastics? I couldn't make SNAP in any way, and I'm thinking it may be because of my soft wheels. Thanks.

[@shanelai2515]

Hi Lucien 😊 all wheels have a durometer which indicates how hard or soft they are. Most of my wheels have a 78a durometer which is very soft. Harder wheels have 98a durometer or higher which might sound like plastic

[@stefanialaspalmas9773]

Hi, what wheels do you have?

[@bayly1977]

What grade wheels are you using? Mine board comes with the soft 78a like most surf skates. Its near impossible to break traction. Ive just bought 90a's.

[@shanelai2515]

I ride stock wheels. Most of them are like 78a or 83a

[@eddieha1115]

Hi Shane ! I got yow pipe It’s really hard to do snap with yow pipe Should I get other surf skate or?

[@shanelai2515]

Work on your technique first

[@xianghuang6517]

Hi Shane, I still couldnt find my balance on the baord, and i am so afraid of doing big body moves like you. Just wondering where do you put your body weight ? your front foot or your back foot? or it changes during slide?

[@shanelai2515]

Before snap: on back foot, to rotate off the back wheels During: on front foot, while pushing the tail hard After: chest over front knee

[@shanelai2515]

Check the video from 3:06 - 3:50

[@curtiswilson9392]

What type of wheels do you have?

[@shanelai2515]

70mm 78a

Learn to fall safely: wear a bucket.

[@houstonrunner5840]

C'est inutile, les surfskates sont créés à la base pour s'entraîner en surf, c'est l'essence même de leur création. Faut avoir des bases en surf pour exploiter ces skates : bras arrière touche l'eau, compresser, contre rotation sur la lèvre etc. C'est ce qui échappe totalement au non surfeurs.
